Chapter 184: Burrow Battle (Part 2)

"Although I'm very sorry to the two of them, looking at the current situation, I'd better slip away first."

Muttering to himself, Jie Ming looked at the metal plate in front of him with extreme pain.

This metal plate was thin and heavy, with a massive amount of runes engraved on its surface, visibly emitting faint and complex energy fluctuations.

This was not an ordinary wizarding tool, but a one-time wizarding tool that was quite rare in the Wizarding World.

The disadvantage of this kind of wizarding tool was obvious: its internal rune array did not consider durability and self-circulation in order to pursue a powerful instantaneous effect.

Therefore, once used, the wizarding tool would self-destruct due to excessive energy impact, making it a truly disposable item.

However, its advantages were equally prominent: because the requirements for material durability were not high, and some complex self-circulation and charging nodes could be avoided in the manufacturing process, its material cost was relatively cheap.

It was also simpler to manufacture, so the price was only one-third of that of a wizarding tool of the same level that could be used repeatedly.

In terms of "cost-effectiveness," this kind of disposable item definitely couldn't compare with the normal kind of wizarding tool that could be continuously recharged and used repeatedly.

Recorded in the metal plate in Jie Ming's hand was the Tier 5 space-type wizardry—"Space Jump."

This wizardry allowed the user to perform large-scale spatial displacement in an instant, avoiding almost all attacks that could not lock onto the dimension of space itself.

The reason Jie Ming was able to get this rare Tier 5 wizarding tool was thanks to his rare "All-Purpose Eye."

Back at the wizard registration office at the intersection point, it was precisely because he displayed the "All-Purpose Eye" that he attracted the attention of many high-tier wizards from the Tower of Silence, one of whom was one of the actual commanders of this expedition—Master Roland Vannal.

After learning that the opponent's main research direction was space-type annihilation wizardry, Jie Ming kept a thought in mind.

Later, Jie Ming contacted the other party relying on the communication serial number left by Master Roland, and after finally paying a not-so-small price, he obtained this Tier 5 wizarding tool sufficient to save his life.

The reason it was a one-time wizarding tool was precisely because Jie Ming was indeed strapped for cash at that time.

Purchasing this wizarding tool consumed almost most of the military merit he had earned from receiving research tasks in that year, and that was only the down payment.

The real big part was the harsh contract he signed with Master Roland:

Once he was promoted to a Tier 2 and Tier 3 wizard, he would, according to Roland's requirements, learn some obscure and extremely difficult-to-master specialized knowledge to add new observation modules to his "All-Purpose Eye."

Afterward, he also had to hand over the complete wizardry models of the "All-Purpose Eye" with these newly added observation modules to the other party.

Jie Ming had roughly flipped through the "specialized knowledge" specified by Master Roland; they were basically subjects that were extremely difficult and almost useless for low-level wizards.

They not only consumed a lot of Jie Ming's own energy to learn and understand but also couldn't be immediately converted into obvious power in the short term.

But just in case, for the "desperate situation" that might appear at this moment, Jie Ming still gritted his teeth and signed this seemingly unequal contract with the other party.

Jie Ming endured the feeling of "heartache," and his spiritual power poured into the metal plate like a tide.

A few tubes of potions also appeared in his hand, preparing to be poured in to restore spiritual power when it was insufficient.

Under the continuous infusion of spiritual power, the runes were quickly activated, and strands of silver-white spatial law power began to condense around the metal plate, as if it would tear a spatial rift out of thin air in the next second and teleport him away.

However, just the next instant, the anticipation on his face froze suddenly, turning into a piece of shock!

"What's going on?!" Looking at the metal plate that had stopped running again, Jie Ming's heart trembled.

He immediately forcibly condensed his spiritual power and carefully checked it according to the detection method mentioned in Roland's "after-sales service."

Subsequently, Jie Ming's face became increasingly ugly under the red light of the magma.

"There is actually spatial interference in this underground cavern?!" Jie Ming said this almost through gritted teeth, his voice carrying incomprehensible confusion.

Although the intensity of this spatial interference was not high, it was enough to turn a small Tier 1 wizard like Jie Ming into minced meat after activation.

But clearly, his idea of using "Space Jump" to leave the underground cavern and escape had completely fallen through!

The life-saving trump card he relied on most at his current stage had actually been ruthlessly restricted by the environment before it was even activated.

Jie Ming's face turned livid for a moment, but he quickly suppressed the emotion in his heart.

The facts were already like this; simple anger was meaningless.

Now, only the last, and most cruel, method remained—kill his way out!

And Jie Ming knew that this decision, this attitude, must be expressed fast enough and decisively enough!

He couldn't let the pervasive despair continue to spread.

Otherwise, the other two wizards might do something stupid in extreme despair, or even collapse.

A flash of light appeared in Jie Ming's eyes, and the massive spiritual power in his body surged like a tide.

He did not hesitate to emit a powerful and bright energy fluctuation, like the scorching sun in the dark night, directly illuminating the human-shaped pit where he was hiding, declaring his existence and attracting the attention of all living creatures present!

At the same time, with a thought, spatial light flowed in his body.

Thousands of crystal-like attack-type talisman wizarding tools surged out from behind him like a swarm of bees.

These talisman wizarding tools rotated at high speed in the air, and according to a specific rune array, combined behind his back into the complete version of the "Great Light Aspect" posture he had used on the battlefield before!

At the same time, Jie Ming also did not hesitate to take out a specially made bracelet and put it directly on his wrist: "Accelerate!"

On the other side, the Tier 2 wizard saw that the other Tier 3 lava giant blocking the exit was also starting to surround him, forming a pincer movement with the Tier 3 lava giant that was originally entangling him, and a look of deep despair could not help but appear on his face.

He already felt deep pressure just dealing with one Tier 3 lava giant in front of him, plus another Tier 3 lava giant, and the surrounding lava giants were still surging in an endless stream.

He knew that if this continued, he would probably lose his life here today.

Just at this moment, a massive energy fluctuation that made people suffocate suddenly came from behind him!

Immediately afterward, dense light bullets crossed over his head like a meteor shower, carrying destructive energy, and blasted directly toward the newly appeared Tier 3 lava giant!

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

The deafening explosion sounds were continuous, and the energy light almost illuminated the entire underground cavern.

That Tier 3 lava giant was blasted head-on by thousands of energy bullets, its figure shook violently, emitting a painful muffled groan, and the rock shell on its body surface kept cracking under the dense strikes.

It was even blasted away, crashing into the lava pool, stirring up sky-high magma waves!

Although this failed to cause fatal damage to the Tier 3 lava giant, it genuinely blasted it back!

The Tier 2 wizard and the Tier 1 wizard turned their heads in shock and saw Jie Ming's towering figure unfolding the "Great Light Aspect."

Jie Ming carried the talisman wizarding tool array up to five meters high, the whole person suspended in mid-air, his whole body emitting radiance like a demon god!

This huge "Great Light Aspect" posture brought an unprecedented sense of security, making the two wizards who were originally in despair show expressions of surprise at having survived a disaster!

"I'll hold this one!" Jie Ming's cold and decisive voice clearly entered the minds of the other two wizards through spiritual fluctuations. "You two try your best to hold the other one, hold it for long enough! I will provide you with fire support!"

As Jie Ming spoke, his gaze turned quickly, sweeping over the Tier 3 lava giant that had been blasted away by him, but was now slowly standing up from the lava pool unscathed.

The rock shell on its body had completely fallen off, but it was not because it had suffered damage, but because it had actively evolved into a lava state in the high-temperature environment.

The round of energy bullets just now only left uneven shallow pits on the opponent, and these shallow pits were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the little bug in front of him that had blasted him away, the anger in the lava giant's eyes was almost about to condense into substance.

"As expected of a Tier 3—this regenerative ability and defense are really tricky." Jie Ming couldn't help but "spit," but there was no fear in his eyes.

The opponent's situation was within his expectations, and he also knew deeply that this was a war of attrition.

"Sigh—I hope I can make it in time."

Jie Ming took a deep breath, took out his magic net terminal, and crushed it without hesitation!

This crystal terminal obtained when registering at the intersection point not only had the functions of regional network contact, task publishing, and merit statistics.

The most critical function of this crystal terminal was that it could be used as an emergency distress beacon.

When wizards were in an extremely dangerous situation, they could crush it; even if they were too far away to contact the camp normally, the camp would receive the corresponding distress signal.

After receiving it, the headquarters would immediately dispatch rescue missions to nearby wizards.

And the more terminals crushed, the more chaotic the data transmitted by the communicator, the more critical the situation, the wider the range of the rescue mission issued, and the more powerful the mobilized rescue force!

In fact, before this, the Tier 2 wizard and the other Tier 1 wizard had already crushed their respective magic net terminals in unison when they sensed the arrival of a desperate situation!

Jie Ming's goal was very clear.

He never thought about relying on himself to kill all these monsters from the beginning, and what's more, lava giants were not trash like blood angels.

It would be good enough to ensure he didn't die.

As long as they could hold these two Tier 3 lava giants until the rescue arrived, that would be their victory.

But the generals of the lava giants didn't intend to give them a chance to breathe.
