Chapter 190: Destroying Evidence and Returning to Camp

Jie Ming looked coldly at the two wizard corpses at his feet that were gradually losing their vitality.

He felt nothing in his heart; after all, in the world of wizards, only those who survived were qualified to enjoy the spoils of war.

He raised his arm and grabbed the cold ankles of the two corpses. His muscles exerted a little force, and the two corpses were thrown directly into that enchanting and bright red "Hatchery" without mercy!

Plop!

Two slight splashing sounds rang out, immediately replaced by a hair-raising "hissing" sound.

The liquid inside the hatchery, which was as bright red as blood, had extremely powerful decomposition and absorption capabilities for various substances.

The flesh and blood bodies of the wizards were like fragile paper in it; almost in the blink of an eye, the two bloody corpses were completely swallowed and melted, disappearing without a trace, not even leaving a single bone residue.

The pool surface returned to calm again; except for that enchanting blood color, it was as if nothing had happened.

Jie Ming looked at all this calmly.

He could feel that the magic-banning domain around him was failing rapidly; the efficacy of the energy crystal had been exhausted.

This was a common defect of this type of magic-banning prop; although powerful, it often had the limitation of a short duration.

"Calculating the time, support should be arriving soon; it seems I have to hurry up and deal with this kind of thing."

Jie Ming's mind moved, and he re-established a spiritual connection with the talisman wizarding tools scattered all over the ground before.

The talisman wizarding tools and metal floating cannons that had lost power now glowed again, one by one trembling and floating up, automatically returning to their positions behind Jie Ming, forming the familiar "Great Light Aspect" posture.

Jie Ming didn't waste time searching for the lost spoils of war; those things were not as valuable as the "Hatchery" in front of him at this moment.

He directly urged the power of alchemy and talisman wizarding tools to precisely and rudely cut off the entire empty room occupied by the "Hatchery," together with the blood-colored pool, and a whole piece of rock close to the size of a small house with complex energy circuits extending under the pool!

The huge rock carried the blood-colored pool; how astonishing was its volume!

Jie Ming gestured slightly and regretfully confirmed that this thing couldn't be put into his internal space.

Fortunately, he had other ways.

Subsequently, Jie Ming took out a space expansion bag from his internal space. His mind moved, and the huge rock carrying the blood-colored hatchery was stuffed into the space expansion bag by him in its entirety.

"Fortunately, there is this space expansion bag... and my quota is just enough." Jie Ming couldn't help but feel a trace of celebration in his heart.

This kind of spatial equipment was regarded as special military supplies in the wizard legion and was considered a kind of benefit.

Only after wizards completely analyzed the spatial rules of a certain foreign plane could they manufacture corresponding "space expansion bags" based on its characteristics.

These expansion bags would be distributed as general equipment to every wizard participating in the plane expedition, usually provided in corresponding sizes based on the contribution of each wizard.

And Jie Ming, as a "logistics-type" wizard, had a quota that was a full double that of combat-type wizards of the same level!

So he had a space expansion bag large enough to fit this giant rock, which was almost as big as a small house, together with the hatchery, all inside.

If it were an ordinary Tier 1 combat-type wizard, even if they could cut it off, they wouldn't be able to fit it at all.

After dealing with these "private" affairs and confirming that no clues were left behind, Jie Ming adjusted his posture, preparing to wait quietly for the arrival of the wizard support from the outside.

However, he suddenly felt that the entire burrow he was in was shaking violently!

That was not an ordinary tremor, but more like some kind of terrifying giant force tearing the earth apart!

Immediately, the top of the cave, which had been filled with the aura of fire elements and appeared somewhat dark and oppressive, suddenly lit up, flooded by a dazzling radiance!

Jie Ming was shocked and looked up suddenly.

The scene he saw made his whole person instantly fall into a kind of trance!

Above his head, that rock and soil, hundreds of meters thick and ten-plus kilometers in diameter, were actually... "lifted" up by someone!

They didn't collapse, didn't shatter, but were pulled out from the underground earth as if by an invisible and huge palm.

Then they were manipulated, slowly and firmly floating toward the high sky!

Jie Ming felt that he was like an ant that had seen the light of day again after someone dug open the mud on the top of its nest.

Scorching and dazzling light, carrying the sulfur smell and scorched earth breath unique to the Blazing Sun Realm, instantly illuminated the entire underground space that had been covered by rocks before.

Looking at the familiar scorching sunlight shooting straight down from the cracked top, as well as the spatial rift that still looked like a weird eye in the sky.

Jie Ming only felt that his soul had encountered a huge impact.

This kind of power... this kind of control over power...

After coming back to his senses, Jie Ming finally saw clearly the "towering" figure standing in the air, manipulating all of this—it was precisely Viola!

Milky white light wrapped around her body, and her hair also flew in the invisible elemental turbulence.

She herself looked like she was just stretching out a hand, grabbing upward lightly.

However, it was precisely this grab that looked light and easy, but it forcibly manipulated such a huge "crust" composed of rocks and soil, together with the complex structure of countless lava giant nests, and flew into mid-air!

That magnificent scene, if it were in other alien worlds, would probably be regarded directly as a miracle.

"The power of a Tier 3 wizard..." Jie Ming sighed from the heart.

He had heard of the power division of wizard rank levels.

A Tier 1 wizard could probably destroy a street, and a Tier 2 wizard could easily destroy a town.

And when they reached Tier 3 wizards, they could easily destroy a small country.

Before, Jie Ming didn't have too many concrete feelings about this; after all, the Tier 3 wizards he saw didn't often go all out on the battlefield.

But now, he finally had the most intuitive and shocking feeling.

Just like Viola now, if she wanted to destroy a country, she wouldn't even need any combat-type wizardry.

Just by relying on this pure spiritual power, just bringing such a large pile of soil and rocks covering hundreds of square kilometers and hundreds of meters thick to an altitude of several thousand meters, and then throwing it down directly, the terrifying kinetic energy and potential energy produced would be enough to easily destroy a small country!

"Well done, little Jie Ming." A soft but clear voice, carrying a trace of appreciation, sounded in Jie Ming's ear.

Viola's figure had appeared beside Jie Ming from high altitude in an instant, not knowing when.

Her gaze seemed to carry a strange scrutiny.

Jie Ming's heart jumped.

He suddenly realized something was wrong!

"Senior Sister Viola..." Jie Ming quickly restrained his emotions. "You... when did you come here?"

"This... let me think, it was probably after you three cleared the first wave of violent lava giants in the burrow, I arrived." Viola said lightly, her tone carrying a trace of undetectable cunning.

Hearing this, Jie Ming's heart was shocked!

If Viola arrived after they cleared the first wave of crazy lava giants...

Then wouldn't that mean that everything that happened later, including the sneak attack by that Tier 2 wizard, the death of that Tier 1 wizard, how he himself counter-killed that Tier 2 wizard, and the final handling of the two corpses... Viola, had she seen it all?!

However, he quickly calmed down; after all, judging from Viola's attitude, she shouldn't care about the death of those two wizards.

"You... saw it?" Jie Ming thought for a moment and asked directly.

Viola didn't answer immediately, but flicked her hand, throwing that huge piece of soil and rock aside, setting off a tsunami-like air wave.

She waved her hand, isolating the incoming air wave, looked at Jie Ming, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I did see some 'small episodes' that happened later."

Her tone was so flat that it even seemed somewhat indifferent, as if she were just talking about a trivial matter: "Originally, I intended to wait until that Tier 2 wizard made a move on you before taking action to save you. It could be considered letting you suffer a loss, so you can be a bit vigilant toward people in the future and not dare to trust just anyone."

"But I didn't expect... Jie Ming, you did so well, far more perfectly than I expected." The appreciation that was not hidden at all flowed in Viola's eyes; that was a recognition of the coldness and decisiveness Jie Ming displayed.

After all, entrusted by Clark, she had to look after her junior brother.

Therefore, upon receiving the imprisonment signal, Wei Aola flew over at maximum speed without hesitation, never expecting to see this scene.

"I am very satisfied. You survived, and you eliminated all traces. You didn't leave any trouble, which is far better than I expected."

"Before, Instructor Clark praised you in front of me, and I didn't believe it; now I can confirm it, you kid is indeed a genius."

As for the two dead wizards?

Viola's gaze didn't even look toward the blood pool area that was already empty.

"Anyway, they are not wizards from our Nolen Workshop." Viola's tone was as if she were talking about two irrelevant passersby, carrying a trace of extreme indifference.

"In this kind of field battle, the death of a wizard is too normal. They crushed the beacon, and if they can't be found here, the camp will only register them as having died in battle here."

"So don't worry, as long as no one knows what happened here, the camp won't investigate deeply, and all parties won't stir up waves because of this."

Listening to Viola's "guidance," a trace of warmth flowed through Jie Ming's heart.

Just at this moment, in the distant sky, several dazzling streams of light were flying toward this place at high speed; those were other support wizards dispatched by the wizard camp.

They were attracted by the magic net terminals crushed by Jie Ming and the three.

And Jie Ming and Viola, in this huge cavern with the top lifted, pretended to "search" here again.

After confirming that there were no missed "important discoveries"... or rather, no suspicious things that "shouldn't appear."

Only then did they join the arriving support wizards and return to the camp together.
