Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

Wang Yi stood naked in the desert, bowing his head and coughing lightly twice to slightly conceal his inner embarrassment.

Just now, Flame Sparrow's Martyrdom Flame completely engulfed everyone present.

Although the power of the sacrificial flames was repeatedly weakened, their residual force still managed to incinerate Wang Yi's Black Rock Heavy Armor, demonstrating just how terrifying these golden flames were.

After losing the Black Rock Heavy Armor, Wang Yi had the Flame King to protect her body and hair, but it couldn't protect her clothes.

Therefore, he was forced to meet everyone openly.

Wang Jiang and Jiang Yue, however, managed to save some face because they were behind Wang Yi and shielded her from the aftershocks.

Thinking about it carefully, including this time, Wang Yi has openly walked his bird twice in this world since he transmigrated.

Although both times were due to force majeure, Wang Yi seemed to feel the deep malice the world held towards him.

Fortunately, this time he was surrounded by teammates who were there for him through thick and thin.

Everything else is trivial, except for life and death.

Even though Hu Lili's clothes were badly damaged before, she didn't act coy or shy, so Wang Yi couldn't very well act like a little girl who had been molested.

"Young man, you've got quite the assets." Zuo Jinxiu stepped forward at the opportune moment and handed Wang Yi a Candlelight Army jacket, but couldn't help teasing him: "Your knife skills are not bad. It seems you've found a good, experienced doctor."

Wang Yi pretended not to understand Zuo Jinxiu's double entendre, took the coat expressionlessly, wrapped it around his waist, and didn't say anything, just silently tied it in a tight knot.

"Weakling, your clothes."

Ding Lan released her lava body and stepped barefoot onto the murky glass melted by golden flames, impatiently calling out to Zuo Jinxiu.

Thanks to Ding Lan's use of the Lava Body, she stood at the forefront like a mother hen catching her chicks, enduring the second wave of flames.

Only then was Wang Yi able to fill in the gaps and withstand the aftermath of the diversion, thus expanding the safe zone to a larger extent.

Aside from a few students who subconsciously looked away, the other soldiers didn't seem to deliberately avoid Ding Lan's current state.

Even Zuo Jinxiu didn't forget to look him up and down, clicking her tongue in approval:

"Sister Ding, you seem to have gained a little weight."

Even without the golden flames, Ding Lan's clothes would be lost once she unleashed her lava body, so the Yellow Crow Squad always carried several sets of military uniforms when going on missions.

"If you fart again, I'll tear your mouth apart." Ding Lan glared at Zuo Jinxiu angrily, then snatched the military uniform from Zuo Jinxiu's arms and put it on.

"The Flame Sparrow's magic crystal has been found." At this moment, Yellow Crow returned to the crowd with a fiery red bead in his hand.

After confirming that everyone was alright, Huang Ya went to find Yan Que's magic crystal.

Because magic crystals are extremely sturdy and cannot be destroyed by magical power, even if the Flame Sparrow self-destructs and leaves no trace of its remains, the magic crystals will only be scattered to other places by the impact of the flames.

"Qingluan's magic crystal is with me." Bai Yu walked up, holding a blue bead between her two fingers.

Her condition wasn't great, after all, Bai Yu was the one who directly withstood the first wave of the flames.

Although the illusory realm provided some protection, and she was protected by three major defensive spells, the high temperature still scorched Bai Yu's clothes, burned her skin, and made her hair twisted and dry.

All I can say is that Bai Yu is thankful that she can still keep her hair.

Huang Ya nodded as he looked at the magic crystal in Bai Yu's hand, but did not ask for it.

Whether it's the Flame Sparrow, the Azure Phoenix, or the Frost Swan, they are all top-tier magical beasts, so their magic crystals are naturally extremely precious.

However, this time we were able to defeat these magical beasts thanks to the help of Bai Yu and Shen Yuan, so we definitely have to share some of the magic crystals we got.

"Hey, hey, hey, all three magic crystals are here, but where's the 'brain' magic crystal? Don't tell me we guessed wrong, these three birds are clearly acting strangely." Mo Yu shook the Frost Swan's magic crystal in his hand, looking very puzzled.

"I was just about to ask, what does 'brain' mean?" Shen Yuan interrupted, somewhat embarrassed.

Because Shen Yuan really wanted to understand this matter.

During the fight just now, he felt that he was completely unable to keep up with the pace of these three people.

Huang Ya and Mo Yu understood each other perfectly with just a word or a glance from Bai Yu, while Shen Yuan felt like a complete idiot.

"The so-called 'brain' actually refers to the fourth magical beast," Bai Yu explained to Shen Yuan.

"The Frost Swan, the Flame Sparrow, and the Azure Phoenix are not intelligent magical beasts, yet they can form a team and cooperate seamlessly."

This means there is a fourth monster lurking among us, either parasitizing or controlling us, and possessing intelligence—at the very least, capable of understanding our discussed plan.

Shen Yuan recalled the scene just now when Frostswan and Flame Sparrow attacked Azure Phoenix at the same time, which was obviously like a prediction.

If the plan proceeds as scheduled, Bai Yu, who has just teleported to Qingluan's side, will be caught in the crossfire of these attacks before she can use teleportation or open the void.

"Warcraft... can understand us?" Shen Yuan was stunned. He had been teaching for almost twenty years and rarely had the opportunity to enter the interdimensional passage, so it was indeed difficult for him to react for a moment.

"It's most likely a mental-type magical beast. Magical beasts can also possess intelligence; back then..." Bai Yu paused, then continued:

"Of course, this situation is extremely rare. I've only ever seen it in reports; this is the first time I've encountered it."

Mo Yu toyed with the Frostswan Magic Crystal in her hand like a marble:

"Who isn't? I served in the Candlelight Army for over four years, and I've killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, magical beasts under my command. This is the first time I've seen something like this."

The same applies to the Yellow Raven; it has only been recorded in some battle reports.

"So you changed your tactics based on mere guesswork, instantly switching to a feint attack?" Shen Yuan scratched his head; no wonder he couldn't react in time.

Huang Ya spoke up: "Because even if the judgment is wrong, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of re-executing the previous plan. But if we don't even have this judgment, then we are the ones in danger."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan was filled with emotion.

Compared to young people today, he is actually twenty years older.

His gaze then fell upon Wang Yi and his group of students, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

The new generation is getting stronger and stronger.

"So where exactly is the magic crystal of this fourth magical beast? Anyway, it's not on Frostswan." Mo Yu grabbed Frostswan's magic crystal and shrugged.

He had almost chopped the Frostswan's corpse into dumpling filling, but he still hadn't found a second magic crystal.

"Whether it was on the Flame Sparrow or the Azure Phoenix, it must have died from the flames. It's just that the magic crystal was somehow damaged by the flames." The Yellow Crow surveyed the surrounding desert.

"Draw a circle here, and send people to conduct a thorough search later. After all, it could very well be a mid-level magic crystal of the mental type."

At this moment, Wang Yi, wearing a candlelight military coat around his waist, picked up a dagger with a burnt handle from the ground, rubbed the blade against his uniform a couple of times, and then spoke:

"The magic crystal you're looking for might be with me."

After saying that, Wang Yi gripped the dagger in reverse, gritted his teeth, and stabbed it straight at a scar on his left shoulder.
