Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The young, aspiring mages, filled with trepidation, excitement, faith, and dreams, resolutely stepped into this unknown sea of ​​sand.

Zhang Jin watched them go, seeing their youthful figures gradually shrink in size, and remained silent.

A moment later, Zhang Jin turned his gaze to Bai Yu and Shen Yuan, who were still standing there, and asked questioningly, "Aren't Teacher Bai and Teacher Shen going to keep up?"

"No rush, there's definitely no danger nearby. Let them get used to the environment first," Bai Yu said nonchalantly. "I can't just follow them around like this, lest they become completely oblivious to danger and feel they have something to rely on. That would hinder their training and growth."

As a bridgehead for the military to infiltrate the two borders, the security of the Nansha base is naturally of paramount importance.

Therefore, any wandering monsters that appear in the vicinity will be wiped out immediately.

As Zhang Jin watched the figures of the ten students gradually disappear into the distance, he couldn't help but ask, "Those four senior high school students are fine, they should have already reached the late stage of the initial mage level. These six students who just entered high school should have only become initial mages two or three months ago, right?"

"Isn't it a bit too early to directly confront the monsters inside the Lingnan Sand Bridge?"

Although mid-level mages are allowed to enter the Lingnan Sand Bridge, early-level mages are already considered the backbone of the soldiers stationed at the Nansha base.

Each rank of a mage has its own threshold for advancement; not all novice mages can smoothly become intermediate mages.

Compared to these high school seniors, these soldiers, though of the same rank, were more skilled in magic, had more mana, more rare-grade spells, adapted to the environment faster, cooperated better with their comrades, were calmer when facing magical beasts, and fought more fiercely.

In short, it has stronger overall strength.

However, these small differences accumulate and can lead to a huge gap in combat strength.

Especially when facing Warcraft.

Therefore, even a high school senior student mage is not safe in Lingnan Sand Bridge.

These six students in the first year of high school are at the very bottom of the social ladder, making them extremely dangerous.

Bai Yu looked at the students who had split into two groups and were heading in different directions: "Your rank will eventually improve, and you will eventually become more proficient in magic, but the mindset of a strong person is the most important thing."

Zhang Jin offered no comment, but instead told the orderly behind him, "Notify the nearby squads on duty to keep an eye on the monsters' movements. Order the Ink Feather Squad and the Yellow Crow Squad to be prepared to provide timely reinforcements."

"yes!"

Changing his tone, Zhang Jin's voice turned cold and hard: "Of course, unless absolutely necessary, there's no need to intervene; just try to avoid any deaths."

"Yes."

Zhang Jin said this in front of Bai Yu and Shen Yuan, but neither of them expressed any objection.

Although Bai Yu assured Bai Jingting of the students' safety, in the perilous interdimensional passage, unless Bai Yu was constantly protecting them, it would be impossible to act in time.

Bai Yu couldn't possibly do that, otherwise what would be the point of the training?

Zhang Jin left quickly; as the head of the Lingnan Military Region, he had many things to deal with every day.

Setting aside half a day to arrange these students' training activities already demonstrates the extreme importance that Lanling Magic High School attaches to them.

Feeling that it was about time, Bai Yu and Shen Yuan exchanged a glance and stepped into the desert.

One figure vanished into the sea of ​​sand, while another unfurled a pair of azure wind wings and soared into the sky.

The two teachers went off to find their respective teams, and the metal passageway gate of the Nansha base closed again.

Countless grains of yellow sand slid down outside the door, and the entire base was perfectly hidden into the sand dunes.

"Awooo..."

"Waaah..."

Amidst the jagged rocks of the Gobi Desert, the howls of wolves echoed incessantly.

A group of wolf-like magical beasts, nearly 1.2 meters tall at the shoulders and over 2 meters long, with smooth, bluish fur, were communicating with each other through howls, cooperating to complete this hunt.

Their prey consisted of a group of about thirty large, tank-like beasts covered in tanky fur, with black hair on their hooves, huge dark yellow curved horns, and a appearance resembling yak.

At the border between the Gobi Desert and the Gobi, Wang Yi and his companions buried themselves in the scorching yellow sand, leaving only their heads exposed. They were covered with camouflage cloths similar to desert ghillie suits and observed the hunt taking place among the magical beasts through the gaps.

"There are seven adult wind wolves here, one, two, three, four... all hunting. Conservatively speaking, this pack should have close to twenty. Judging from the numbers, it should be considered a medium-sized wind wolf pack, and there should be a wolf king."

Jiang Yue searched through his binoculars and soon found a wind wolf that was about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder and significantly larger in size at the rear of the pack. He gestured for everyone to look over there: "There it is. That is the king of the wind wolves, a mid-level magical beast."

"They are preparing to hunt Blackhoofed Yak, a low-level magical beast. Adults are basically at the late low-level, and the few young yaks inside should still be at the early low-level."

"What do these monsters eat to grow so big? Are they on hormones? How come they're so huge!" Qi Xiaohao muttered. "We've been walking for ages and haven't seen a single monster, and now we've found two groups right away. There are just too many of them. We can't possibly defeat them, can we?"

They traversed countless sand dunes before finally escaping the endless yellow sand and seeing the rugged, dark red Gobi Desert.

And on the Gobi Desert, I saw the shadow of a monster for the first time.

I just didn't expect to see so many all at once.

"Fight? How? By taking lives?" Wang Jiang gripped his halberd and retorted to Qi Xiaohao without mercy: "Six rookie novice mages rushing in like a swarm can give the wind wolves a taste of meat and at least save a few black-hoofed yak."

Qi Xiaohao pursed his lips, but since Wang Jiang was right, Qi Xiaohao didn't refute him. He just complained, "Why do I only encounter group monsters? Why can't I meet a lone one to practice against?"

Jiang Yue said leisurely, "It's best not to encounter lone magical beasts. Generally speaking, lone magical beasts are not weak, because they can survive well on their own. They are basically the top hunters in a region."

If we were unlucky enough to encounter it, we might be wiped out.

"No rush, we've only just entered. There will be plenty of opportunities to fight monsters. Let's play it safe for now."

Just as the group was talking, the pack of wind wolves began their attack on the black-hoofed yak.

The group of people hiding in the sand dunes immediately began to watch intently.
