Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

As Wang Yi's wary words fell, the group members awkwardly but quickly formed a formation.

Wang Jiang held his halberd in front, Wang Yi held his shield behind him, Jiang Yue's Ice Shard Shield had been released on the left, and Qi Xiaohao, a burly man, was holding an alloy shield on the right.

Hu Lili and Chen Zhengkai were firmly protected in the middle.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and four orange-red fireballs, each the size of a washbasin, flew in from the angle between Wang Yi and Jiang Yue.

"Rare!" Jiang Yue could only shout out.

Several people couldn't help but feel a chill.

It started by unleashing a barrage of rare-grade magic fireballs, which likely indicates it's a mid-tier magical beast.

At this moment, the king, who had been poised to attack, turned around and strode towards the fireball.

The surface of the halberd was covered with golden light. The halberd's tip cleaved down heavily, directly shattering the first fireball. Then, the halberd immediately swept across, blocking the second fireball.

The king then released an earth shield in an attempt to continue defending, but the remaining two fireballs deftly traced two opposite arcs, bypassing the king and heading straight for the others.

Fortunately, Jiang Yue followed closely behind and blocked the third one with his Ice Shard Shield.

The air was immediately filled with mist from the ice shield being evaporated by the fireball.

"I'm here."

Wang Yi, who was already prepared, stepped forward and blocked the last fireball that was flying towards the people behind her.

boom!

The fireball struck Wang Yi's earth shield, shattering the ordinary-grade earth shield spell instantly.

Fortunately, Wang Yi had the foresight to place the alloy shield behind the earth shield, which completely blocked the fireball whose power had been weakened by the earth shield.

Even so, Wang Yi couldn't help but take a step back. The high temperature of the fireball stung his skin and burned fiercely on the surface of the alloy shield.

Wang Yi threw down the alloy shield, which was getting hotter and hotter from the flames. Chen Zhengkai, who was behind him, stepped forward and handed him his own alloy shield. At the same time, he used a water-drawing spell to try to extinguish the fire and cool down the shield that Wang Yi had thrown on the ground.

"Nine o'clock, bushes!" Hu Lili's voice rang out. Wang Yi looked up and saw a long spear wrapped in lightning flying towards the bushes.

It was Qi Xiaohao who unleashed the Thunder Spear Technique.

Unfortunately, before the lightning spear could reach the bushes, it was detonated in mid-air by a fireball.

"Don't you want to come out?" Jiang Yue reached out, and a gust of green wind swept away.

Rare grade, Shattered Wind and Turbulent Currents.

Hu Lili and Qi Xiaohao also used ordinary-grade attack magic to fill in the gaps in the Shattered Wind Turbulence, bombarding the bushes like a thorough sweep.

Large swathes of shrubs fell down like harvested wheat, their branches and leaves broken.

The rocky ground was marked with various engravings.

A fiery red figure was finally forced out.

It was over two meters long, with sharp teeth, fire-like markings all over its body, and a constantly swishing black tail. It lowered its body and let out low growls at the group.

Mid-tier magical beast, Fire-patterned Black-tailed Panther.

"attack!"

Jiang Yue made the decision directly.

This fire-patterned black-tailed leopard clearly saw them as its prey, and there was no way it could escape. The fire-patterned black-tailed leopard was very fast, so the only option was to drive it away.

As the formation shifted, facing the fire-patterned black-tailed leopard, Wang Jiang took the lead, while Jiang Yue quickly retreated until he was alongside Wang Yi.

The remaining three stood behind Jiang Yue and Wang Yi.

"You need to be precise when casting spells. The Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Panther is very fast, so try to anticipate its movements. Also, don't forget to watch your mana consumption," Jiang Yue reminded him.

Although each of them carried a few low-level magic crystals to replenish their magic power in critical moments, this was only their first day in Lingnan Sand Bridge, and they couldn't just use up all their supplies.

Tatata!

King Wang moved swiftly, halberd in hand, charging straight toward the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard.

But before he had gone halfway, Wang Jiang's expression suddenly changed, and then he stomped his left leg hard, flying forward to the right.

boom!

A pillar of flame, nearly two meters in diameter, suddenly shot out from the ground, grazing the hem of the king's robes as it soared into the sky.

Rare grade, erupting with subterranean fire.

Even as the king was about to depart, Jiang Yue promptly shouted, "Firepower coverage!"

As the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard unleashed its earthfire eruption, numerous lightning orbs, lightning spears, and wind blades descended from above.

Various spells, both common and rare, were unleashed upon the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Panther.

At that moment, the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard finally moved.

With its four claws exerting force, it seemed to transform into a fiery red lightning bolt, leaping left and right, dodging and weaving.

He always managed to dodge the magic with pinpoint accuracy just as it was about to strike.

If it's unavoidable, then counter with a barrage of fireballs or a surge of ground fire, and even spare some energy to launch fireballs at a few people in the distance.

Fortunately, Jiang Yue and Wang Yi worked together to stop it.

As a mid-level magical beast, the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Panther possesses enough magical power to freely unleash rare-grade magic without worrying about running out of mana.

The lightning spear crashed and exploded, fireballs roared, and wind blades grazed its body, but had no effect other than splashing sand and dust around the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard.

"Your Majesty, watch out on your left!"

After Wang Jiang rolled twice to dissipate the force, before he could even regain his footing, the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard, accompanied by a foul stench, had already arrived on his left.

It not only dodged the attacks of several people's magic, but also planned to move closer to the king general who was closest to it.

The Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard raised its paw and pressed down on the King. In the blink of an eye, the King only had time to barely use the Exploding Sand Shield, while holding his halberd horizontally in front of his chest.

boom!

The sand shield shattered, and the halberd shaft slammed into the king's chest, sending him flying to the right like a cannonball.

Although the attack of the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard was blocked head-on by the halberd, its protruding sharp claws still easily tore through the general's individual combat uniform.

The cloth tore, and blood splattered everywhere.

The three bloodstains were so deep that the bone was visible.

Roar!

The Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard's forepaws were also injured by the exploding sand shield, and it roared in pain.

Seeing that Wang Jiang was seriously injured, Wang Yi's expression changed slightly. He wanted to release a healing beam, but found that Wang Jiang had already been pushed out of his healing range by the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard.

Wang Yi gritted his teeth, decisively left a message, and then charged directly towards the location of the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard.

"The distance is too far. I'll create an opportunity. Prepare to attack."

Using his speed, Wang Yi rapidly closed the distance between himself and the Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard.

"Little leopard, look here!" Wang Yi shouted, drawing the fire-patterned black-tailed leopard's attention away from Wang Jiang.

The Fire-Patterned Black-Tailed Leopard turned its head as it wished, its blood-red eyes fixed on Wang Yi, who immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
