Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

After Wang Yi resolved the Hongyalin Bridge, he rested well in the military region for three days. Then, the last Shadow Wolf was found and successfully eliminated by the captains. Apart from that, no other high-level magical beasts were found in the interdimensional passage.

From then on, Hongyalin Bridge was completely returned to the hands of the Candlelight Army.

However, rebuilding a completely destroyed base is not something that can be done overnight. Moreover, overall, the Candlelight Army has suffered considerable losses, whether in thoroughly investigating all the interdimensional passages, eliminating high-level magical beasts, or obtaining information about them.

However, this attempt to thwart the mental-type monsters' plot was undoubtedly successful.

After completing the Hongyalin Bridge mission, Wang Yi, along with Hao Chenming and Li Dianwei, continued their journey towards the next interdimensional passage.

Of the thirteen interdimensional passages leading to the mission objective, six were high-level thought insects, four were high-level illusion butterflies, and three were high-level light-devouring gnats.

Now that he had determined that the Sleep Aid Domain wouldn't have much of an impact on him, Wang Yi decided to deal with all the Mind Worms first.

By the time we reached the second interdimensional passage, we were much more familiar with the process.

In the military district hall, in front of the Starry Gate, only Hao Chenming and Li Dianwei accompanied Wang Yi. All the cameras were temporarily turned off, and the team leaders who were finishing up were waiting in another room.

Wang Yi transformed into a lava dragon and entered the Star Gate, where he unsurprisingly encountered the monster guarding the place.

The battle lasted for more than twenty minutes. Afterwards, Wang Yi killed the Nian insects and the guardian beasts, and returned to the military region to report back.

"From this perspective, these high-level magical beasts guarding the Starfall Gate are there to eliminate all the mages who enter," Hao Chenming deduced. "It's probably to prevent us from using the same tactic, sending mid-level mages with magic crystals to advance to higher levels in the interdimensional passage, and then absorbing magic to eliminate those high-level magical beasts."

"This spiritual-type sacred beast is really thorough in its considerations," Wang Yi remarked. "However, it's not thorough enough. If it were me, now that the Star Vortex entrance has been discovered, I would immediately seal it off, guard the entrance, and prevent all magical beasts from entering, completely stopping the number of magical beasts inside from increasing."

Hao Chenming stared at Wang Yi in a daze, then sighed and said, "Your reaction is quite sharp, and your idea coincides with that of the spiritual-type sacred beast. It actually did the same thing. According to intelligence, no new magical beasts have entered any of the problematic interdimensional passages for several days."

Wang Yi felt a little embarrassed; how did he end up resonating with that spiritual beast?

To come up with such a ruthless plan, this spirit-type sacred beast is truly rotten to the core.

"Fortunately, over the years, since we took control of the interdimensional passage, we have always focused on sustainable development and have not exhausted the resources. The number of magical beasts in the interdimensional passage has remained stable. Even without the arrival of foreign magical beasts, they can increase on their own through reproduction. However, it will probably be much more difficult to discover new magical beasts in the future."

Hao Chenming continued:

"However, as the fusion of the two worlds intensifies, the frequency of newly emerging interdimensional channels is also gradually increasing. Although we have lost some magic crystals, it is not urgent. It is much better than having half of our income cut off directly."

Wang Yi nodded. He understood that there were more than seventy interdimensional passages with problems, and he had only solved thirteen of them. The rest were handled by the military.

Even without Wang Yi, the military would at most abandon these thirteen interdimensional passages. Although it would be a minor setback, it wouldn't be a fatal blow.

To say that Wang Yi saved the future of China would be an exaggeration; at most, she helped the military and China recover a considerable amount of losses.

The mission went smoothly. Wang Yi went in first to deal with the high-level mental monster, and then the team leaders went in to patrol and finish up, maintaining a frequency of recovering one interdimensional passage every two days.

At this rate, Wang Yi's mission will be completed in less than a month.

However, when Wang Yi cleared the sixth interdimensional passage, a new situation arose.

Wang Yi entered Xingxuan as usual, ready for battle, only to find that there wasn't a single magical beast around.

The high-level magical beast that had created this passage between the two worlds was no longer guarding the entrance to the Star Vortex as before, which gave Wang Yi a vague sense of unease.

Wang Yi immediately went out to report the situation.

Hao Chenming, who was outside the passage between the two worlds, saw that Wang Yi had come out less than ten seconds after going in. He was puzzled, and then Wang Yi quickly explained the situation to Hao Chenming.

Hao Chenming also sensed that something was wrong and immediately sent more than thirty captains on standby to search for where these high-level magical beasts had gone.

However, it was discovered that these high-level magical beasts were frantically slaughtering the magical beast horde in the interdimensional passage.

As a high-level magical beast, it is very efficient at slaughtering low-level and mid-level magical beasts. Some places in the interdimensional passage are already littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Upon receiving this news, Hao Chenming instantly understood the reason: "They got the news that someone could kill high-level mental beasts, so they started slaughtering them. Since they couldn't control the interdimensional passage, they simply destroyed it."

Hao Chenming's expression was somewhat grave: "The magic world has sealed off Xingxuan to prevent magical beasts from entering the interdimensional passage. Inside the interdimensional passage, magical beasts are being slaughtered to reduce their numbers and disrupt the balance of reproduction. This spiritual-type sacred beast reacted very quickly and its attacks were ruthless, not even sparing its own kind."

"Wang Yi, you're in for a tough time now." Hao Chenming took a deep breath: "We need to start racing against time with these magical beasts. If we slaughter all the magical beasts in the interdimensional passage and no new ones enter, it will be useless to take them back."

So next, Wang Yi and many other captains entered the interdimensional passage to search for the scattered high-level magical beasts.

Searching for the monsters that had wandered off to who-knows-where in the interdimensional passage was not only a waste of time, but also caused casualties.

Since mental-type magical beasts are all hidden within a single guardian magical beast, it is impossible to distinguish whether they are ordinary magical beasts or mental-type magical beasts.

Although the captains are all very strong, belonging to the top tier among mid-level mages, they can handle ordinary high-level magical beasts, but if they encounter that high-level mental magical beast with domain magic, they basically have no power to resist.

Even with detection magic, when a mental monster appears within the detection magic's range, you're already within its domain magic's range.

Every time a portal between the two worlds is reclaimed, a captain will unfortunately encounter a mental monster and die.

However, it's unclear how long it would take for Wang Yi to patrol the passage between the two worlds by himself alone.

Each captain was prepared to sacrifice themselves. They worked in groups of three, keeping a distance from each other. When they found a high-level magical beast, they would fire a purple signal flare. If a captain was enveloped by domain magic, the others would immediately fire a red signal flare and then keep a sufficient distance to keep an eye on the beast and correct its position at any time.

Wang Yi transformed into blue and red lightning in the interdimensional passage, providing support in all directions, and then waited for the red signal flare.

The appearance of each red signal flare was basically accompanied by the sacrifice of a captain.

Wang Yi gritted her teeth, her anger surging.

The things he hates most are happening repeatedly.

But he was powerless to change it.
