Chapter 286 The Search
Upon discovering Wang Yi's disappearance, the people present immediately began to negotiate.
Yu Xing meant that they should go back the way they came and search, hoping to find some clues about Wang Yi.
Since the crows don't have any scouting magic, and they were rushing here in such a hurry, they might have made some oversights.
Huang Ya naturally agreed with the suggestion. The situation at the Minshan Insect Bridge was becoming increasingly complicated. He was not only worried about Wang Yi's safety, but also afraid that his team members might run into some inexplicable danger.
Hu Jin meant that now that the mission was complete and the Gold-Eating Locusts had been eliminated, all that was needed was to leave the Minshan Insect Bridge, report the situation to Major General Li Dianwei, and then discuss the matter further.
Hu Jin was definitely not interested in finding Wang Yi.
The fact that Wang Yi and Dai Lan, two powerful mid-level mages, could be lost so easily suggests either they were incredibly stupid or they were in grave danger.
Even if Hu Jin was very unhappy with Wang Yi, he wouldn't think Wang Yi was an idiot. Obviously, the two of them had encountered some situation they couldn't handle.
Even setting aside the previous animosity between Hu Jin and Wang Yi, he was still mentally shaken and in poor condition, so he definitely didn't want to get involved.
Wen Shanhai and Meng Lixin were more in favor of Yu Xing's suggestion. Their main purpose in coming to the Minshan Insect Bridge was to eliminate the danger of the Minshan Insect Bridge so that the Candlelight Army could continue to control and guard it and hunt for magic crystals.
The gold-devouring locust is just the tip of the iceberg.
Whether it's the Gold-Eating Locust's head housing a mid-level mental-type magical beast or the missing Wang Yi, it all indicates that there are bigger problems with the Minshan Insect Bridge that haven't yet surfaced.
Furthermore, we cannot easily give up on an outstanding younger generation like Wang Yi.
However, Hu Jin is currently in a state of mental exhaustion, and Yue Wencheng and a teammate have already fallen into a coma, so it is impossible to leave them unattended.
After a brief discussion, the group decided that Wen Shanhai would escort the injured Hu Jin, Yue Wencheng, and others away, while Yu Xing, Gu Bei, Meng Lixin, and Huang Ya would form a new team to try to find Wang Yi's whereabouts.
The group split up on the spot. Wen Shanhai, carrying the carcass of the Gold-Eating Locust and the corpse of the bee-like magical beast, along with several wounded soldiers and Yue Wencheng's teammates, headed towards the Minshan Base.
The other four retraced the route Huang Ya had taken, hoping to find out about Wang Yi.
boom! boom! boom!
The yellow crow fired its gun from time to time, firing several green signal flares along the way.
This signal flare means the mission is over, and anyone who sees it should leave the Minshan Insect Bridge immediately.
Yu Xing and Gu Bei took the lead, while Huang Ya and Meng Lixin each kept a considerable distance apart, and the four of them split into three camps.
This is to prevent a situation where four people get together and are then enveloped by a single area-of-effect magic, resulting in their instant death.
The four agreed that if any one of them encountered this situation, the others would immediately retreat, take the intelligence with them, and there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Thanks to the presence of Yu Xing and Meng Lixin, two mages with magical perception, they quickly discovered the Barefoot Black Armor Centipede, which had lost half its body and most of its life, on their way back.
The vitality of high-level magical beasts is indeed very strong. Even though it was cut in two by Wang Yi and was on the verge of death, it has not died yet. Even when facing Yu Xing and Gu Bei who approached, it could still raise a small part of its upper body as if it had a last burst of energy and spew out black corrosive poison mist to attack.
However, he was ultimately on the verge of death and was completely killed by Yu Xing and Gu Bei in a few moves.
Thanks to Yu Xing's deliberate reminder, both of their spells avoided the head of the barefoot black-armored centipede.
After killing the barely surviving barefoot black-armored centipede, Yu Xingrang the other three to keep their distance, and then prepared to go forward alone.
Click!
Prying open the head shell of the Barefoot Black Armor Centipede, Yu Xing indeed found a bee-like magical beast the size of two fists with short red stripes and hair inside. Its appearance was exactly the same as the one that had sprung out of the head of the Gold-Eating Locust.
"Found it, it really is there, but this one is dead for some reason." Yu Xing called out, and Gu Bei, Meng Lixin and Huang Ya, who were on guard in the distance, immediately approached cautiously.
The group quickly inspected the somewhat chaotic battlefield nearby. Apart from two large bundles of silver-white heavy guns, some scraps of cloth, and bloodstains, they found nothing of note.
This only indicates that Wang Yi engaged in a rather intense battle here.
"So Wang Yi disappeared because he encountered these two barefoot black-armored centipedes?" Gu Bei looked at the corpse of the parasitic bee and then asked doubtfully, "Although these two magical beasts are high-level magical beasts, they can't fly, so they shouldn't be able to do anything to Wang Yi."
"Not only are they helpless, but didn't you see that one of these centipedes is dead and the other is injured? They must both be the work of Wang Yi." Yu Xing dug out two magic crystals from the head of the other bare-legged black-armored centipede, whose head had been pierced, and grinned.
He knew Wang Yi was strong, but he didn't expect her to be this strong.
It took several people working together to kill a high-level Gold-Eating Locust. Although the Gold-Eating Locust was much stronger than the Barefoot Black Armor Centipede, Wang Yi was fighting two high-level Barefoot Black Armor Centipedes by himself and still had some strength left.
Yu Xing knew that Dai Lan's attack magic was mainly ice-based, and the wounds on these two barefoot black-armored centipedes did not show any traces of ice magic, which was obviously the work of Wang Yi alone.
For some reason, while there were traces of ice magic elsewhere on the battlefield, there were none on the two high-level magical beasts.
What does this mean? Is Dai Lan just there to create atmosphere but actually slack off the whole time?
"Since these two barefooted black-armored centipedes are no match for Wang Yi, then what about Wang Yi?" Gu Bei scratched his head.
"You're so stupid! Besides that face, can't you have any other redeeming qualities?" Yu Xing said, exasperated. "Since those two barefooted black-armored centipedes were no match for Wang Yi, it means there must be other magical beasts on the scene, and they're even more troublesome. Didn't you see that Wang Yi didn't even have time to finish them off or dig out magic crystals?"
"More magical beasts? That makes four high-level ones." Gu Bei looked incredulous. "Is the Minshan Insect Bridge still a 'bridge'-level interdimensional passage? There are enough high-level magical beasts to make a mahjong table, and the Candlelight Army here is so..."
Gu Bei paused, then suddenly remembered that there was another member of the Candlelight Army named Huang Ya here. He coughed lightly and changed his words to, "Thank you for your hard work."
"The three high-level magical beasts discovered so far all have a mid-level mental magical beast inside their heads, which is clearly abnormal." Yu Xing also quickly changed the subject: "Let's find Wang Yi first, but Wang Yi was able to kill two barefoot black armor centipedes, so the danger shouldn't be too great."
"Wang Yi should be heading this way," Huang Ya, who was observing the situation from the air, said, pointing in a direction.
Flying in the sky, the yellow crow can see the rock craters that are roughly equidistant, stretching in one direction like a chain of stars.
"Let's go, let's find it." Yu Xing and the others immediately set off along this route.
After flying for a while, Yu Xing, who was at the forefront, changed his expression and hurriedly made a warning gesture to the two people behind him in the distance. Then he told Gu Bei to jump directly to the ground to hide.
In his perception, two sources of magic power were rushing out from underground, one of intermediate level in front and one of advanced level behind, just like being chased.
Upon seeing Yu Xing's gesture, Meng Lixin and Huang Ya, who were behind, also moved further away and increased their altitude to observe and be on guard.
A few seconds later, a figure rushed out of the huge crater on the ground. Behind him, an icy chain and a green vine, like two tail feathers, were tied to a beast corpse and an egg sheath, respectively.
"What a coincidence?" Wang Yi wasn't surprised to see the group. During their ascent through the pit, he had also spotted Yu Xing and Gu Bei's life force. He then asked, "Did you deal with the Gold-Eating Locusts?"
