Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Yu Xing glanced at the mangled bee corpse dragged behind Wang Yi, and an egg case emitting magic power no weaker than that of a high-level magical beast, and his curiosity was piqued.

A yellow crow flew quickly overhead, looked Wang Yi up and down, and found that apart from changing his clothes, Wang Yi did not seem to be injured.

However, Huang Ya then thought that Wang Yi was a healing mage with the Life-Giving Cry skill, and even if he was seriously injured, he would probably have healed himself by now.

"The Gold-Eating Locusts have been dealt with. Your situation is far more dangerous than ours," Yu Xing sighed.

"Fortunately, it's more or less resolved." Wang Yi nodded gently.

"Where's Dai Lan?" Gu Bei asked, raising his hand, his expression slightly changing. "Could it be...?"

"It's alright. Senior is in my virtual world right now. She was slightly injured, but she should be fine," Wang Yi replied.

"Mental injury?" Yu Xing glanced at the mangled corpse of the queen bee and asked with some certainty.

Wang Yi was a highly skilled medical mage, yet instead of treating Dai Lan, he sent her into the void, clearly because conventional medical magic was ineffective against her.

Then the answer is obvious.

It seems that the bee-like magical beast corpse behind Wang Yi is a mental-type magical beast, and it is very likely that it is a high-level one. It is probably closely related to the bee-like magical beast that appeared in the heads of the other high-level magical beasts.

He might be the biggest mastermind behind the Minshan Insect Bridge.

"Yes, emotional trauma and a few minor physical injuries." Wang Yi cleared his throat somewhat guiltily.

Wang Yi only now realized that he had only given Dai Lan a simple healing ray to keep her alive before sending her into the void. He guessed that her injuries were still somewhat serious.

With his hands behind his back, Wang Yi quietly opened a small crack in the Void Realm, released two Life Cries into it, and then closed the Void Realm again.

It is indeed a minor injury now.

Dai Lan's consciousness has not yet returned, and it is unknown how long she will remain asleep. After all, she was attacked by a high-level mental-type magical beast. The fact that she survived is already a testament to her strong mental fortitude as a mental-type mage.

Wang Yi only hoped that after Dai Lan woke up, she wouldn't turn into a silly little fool who could only drool and say "Aba aba".

"So, what exactly did you go through?" Yu Xing asked with astonishment.

If we say that two high-level barefoot black-armored centipedes are relatively easy to deal with, then as long as we keep a sufficient distance and continuously attack them with powerful divine-grade magic, we will eventually have a chance to kill them after breaking through their exoskeleton defenses.

However, Yu Xing really couldn't understand how Wang Yi survived when faced with high-level mental monsters.

The mental impact, the most common attack from mental-type magical beasts, is considered a high-dimensional attack for mid-level mages if it reaches the legendary level. Losing consciousness in one strike is already the best outcome.

The direct impact that shatters consciousness, leading to a vegetative state, is considered a normal occurrence.

"In short, during my support mission, I encountered several high-level magical beasts. Senior Dai Lan was injured, but I was lucky enough to barely win," Wang Yi summarized in one sentence.

"Barely?" Yu Xing looked Wang Yi up and down. He had no injuries and his mind was very clear. He really was "barely" enough.

"It was indeed a close call. It was purely luck. This queen bee was in her egg-laying period and was extremely weak in every way. She was only one-tenth of her original strength, which is why I managed to snag her," Wang Yi explained earnestly.

Gu Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, he felt that he and Wang Yi were not even in the same league as mages.

Although it doesn't seem quite like it now, at least Gu Bei believes he would find it difficult to take down two high-level barefoot black armor centipedes single-handedly.

Yu Xing laughed, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He was increasingly feeling that Wang Yi was unfathomable.

If a junior like this can be lured into Shanghai University, then Shanghai University will have no chance of turning things around during Wang Yi's four years at the university. He'll just have to stick to being the second-best university in Shanghai.

After briefly brushing off the questions from the group, the five prepared to return to the Minshan base.

Wang Yi was now anxious to report the queen bee's specific situation to Major General Li Dianwei.

Since the queen bee successfully laid an egg, and Wang Yi was able to use the Life-Giving Cry to ensure that the egg case continued to hatch, it means that the queen bee now has two magic crystals.

He should at least be able to get one, right?

Moreover, the Queen Bee's intelligence was far too important. That spiritual-type sacred beast was definitely a shadow over the military and even China. Wang Yi really didn't want to conceal such crucial information just to steal a magic crystal.

Huang Ya, with Yu Xing in tow, and Meng Lixin, with Gu Bei in tow, flew directly towards the Minshan base.

Although spatial jumps are faster, traveling such a long distance would be too physically demanding for anyone other than Wang Yi.

Yu Xing, Gu Bei, and Meng Lixin were also reinforcements invited by the Candlelight Army. Since they were all going back to the Minshan base, they had no intention of joining the others.

Huang Ya would rather find his teammates and reunite before heading back together, but Wang Yi was in a hurry, and he also secretly used wind magic to tell Huang Ya that he must come with him.

Although Huang Ya didn't understand what was going on, he trusted Wang Yi and didn't make a fuss, silently following the group.

They flew for most of the day without stopping, and Meng Lixin and Huang Ya were almost exhausted. However, Wang Yi kept flying with his head down, and Huang Ya followed silently without stopping, so Meng Lixin didn't feel comfortable suggesting a rest.

As for Yu Xing and Gu Bei, who were being carried along, they had even less right to make demands.

After returning to the Minshan base, they arrived at the Star Gate. Wang Yi gestured to Yu Xing, Gu Bei, and Meng Lixin to leave first.

The three of them realized that Wang Yi was deliberately hiding something, but since they had just met, they didn't want to ask too many questions, so they stepped out of the Starry Gate.

Outside the Starry Gate, Li Dianwei had been waiting there. Upon seeing the three of them emerge, he immediately began to question them.

Inside the Star Gate, only Wang Yi and Huang Ya remained in the base. Huang Ya, who had been puzzled the entire way, finally spoke, asking, "Wang Yi, what exactly happened?"

"Brother Huang, I can't explain it to you right now. You just need to know that the monster egg I'm carrying is very important and quite extraordinary."

As Wang Yi spoke, he tried to send the queen bee's egg case into the spatial gate, but the gate rejected him.

Clearly, the queen bee's eugenics plan went very smoothly; the queen bee in the egg case that has not yet hatched is at least a high-level magical beast.

Wang Yi was not too surprised by this, so he took Huang Ya away from the Minshan base, flew to a secluded cliff, released the mud to dig out a cave, and then used vines to firmly bind the egg sheath in the cave for temporary placement.

"Brother Huang, you stay here, no, stay far away, at least a kilometer away, and keep an eye on this area. Don't let anyone or any magical beasts get close. I'm going to report the details to Major General Li Dianwei."

Because the five of them hadn't rested during their flight, they were actually the first to return to the Minshan base. That's why Wang Yi had Huang Ya guard the egg sheath to prevent others from discovering its magic and causing trouble.

Although this place is far enough from the Minshan base, it's hard to say whether there are other mages like him here.

Besides, roaming monsters are also a threat.

However, since the egg case contained the larva of a high-level mental-type magical beast, Wang Yi was worried that the beast was holding back and might unleash some kind of mental magic once he left. Therefore, he had Huang Ya keep a sufficient distance.

"Okay, don't worry." Huang Ya nodded solemnly. Through Wang Yi's series of actions, he had clearly seen the importance of this egg case.
