Cultivating in the Wizard World-Chapter 225 - 203: Marching and Death Perception

The magma giant pig let out an enraged roar, seemingly irritated by its inability to break through the transparent barrier before it.

Its massive body accelerated once more, crashing heavily into the rune force field.

Each impact caused ripples to spread across the force field.

"Just a mere third-level magical beast." Jeming’s eyes were calm, not paying the slightest attention to this foolish giant beast.

The other wizards within the node had no fear of this third-level magical beast either, some even took the time to point and comment on it.

If they encountered such a beast in the wild, they might treat it with caution, but here, they were within numerous rune arrays.

A second-level wizard tasked with guarding the node looked at Jeming: "Your mission is to assess the situation and collect materials, right? So, how about giving it a try yourself? After all, when the beast tide arrives, you won’t have the chance for hands-on tuning."

"Well... if it’s not too much trouble." Jeming didn’t refuse, nodded after a moment’s hesitation.

Under the guidance of a few wizards, he quickly became familiar with the array manipulation within the node:

"Thunder attribute, third-level recharging..."

He stretched out his palm, adjusting the control light screen hovering in front of him.

As he manipulated, soon, an intense lightning energy rapidly gathered in mid-air, emitting a sizzling sound, illuminating the inside of the force field.

This was no mere energy body, but a "thunder energy arrow" adjusted through the rune array, having lethal destructive power over the energy core of magical beasts.

"Go!"

With Jeming’s low shout, the thunder energy arrow shot like an arrow from a bow, striking the head of the magma giant pig with unmatched speed!

"Roar owww!" The third-level magma giant pig let out a piercing scream!

Its proud rock skin was pierced in an instant by this blow.

Charred blood, mixed with a burnt meat smell, spurted out from the wound.

The power of lightning penetrated its skull, delivering a huge shock to its not-so-durable beast soul.

Its massive body shook violently, as if all energy had been drained from it.

Finally, it fell heavily to the ground due to inertia, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Nevertheless, this robust magical beast continued to struggle, its limbs twitching, as if not entirely dead.

"It’s still not dead?" Jeming raised an eyebrow, unable to hide his surprise.

The strike just now was a proper third-level witchcraft, and specially tailored to harm magical beasts.

This third-level beast took such a blow and still wasn’t dead?!

A nearby wizard advised: "This plane is like that, not just the magma giants and yetis, other creatures also have extraordinarily strong vitality."

Jeming nodded, and raised his hand to conjure a thicker thunder energy arrow again.

This time, he aimed at the heart of the magma giant pig, which is the location of the beast’s energy core.

Bang!

The second thunder energy arrow struck precisely into the heart of the magma giant pig.

This time, it couldn’t even let out a final scream, as the whole body of this demon pig turned stiff, its sturdy limbs stopped twitching, and the ferocity in its eyes completely extinguished.

Jeming wasted no time, because he had another important task here — to collect materials.

He immediately activated the array, near the corpse of the magma giant pig, several rune arrays were quickly sketched out from thin air.

These arrays were not to decompose the corpse but to capture and guide it.

As the arrays started to glow, the large corpse of the third-level magma giant pig, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, was teleported entirely to the rear camp.

Then this corpse would be transported by the decomposition line’s automatic machines to the biochemical beast manufacturing factory.

Jeming restrained the spiritual power fluctuations from his body, carefully experiencing the feeling of manipulating the array just moments ago.

A nearby combat wizard timely explained: "The construction of frontline nodes is basically like this. Time is tight, and the reclaimed materials from outpost are not sufficient, so this emergency form is all we could make."

"You’ve worked hard, but can this thing handle the beast tide?" Jeming nodded politely.

"Against the beast tide, it’s sufficient. After all, the core used here is fourth-level, and there basically aren’t any beings above fourth-level in the beast tide. Even if we can’t kill it all, survival is still guaranteed."

Listening to the introduction from the wizard in the node, Jeming nodded silently.

This task of his was labeled as an investigation, but it was actually an inspection.

Moreover, the wizards didn’t originally build these nodes to resist magma giants, but merely to prevent disturbances by wild magical beasts.

"Since the ship plane departure, and Master Augustine’s departure, there have been occasional reports of wild animal attacks on the camp from time to time." Jeming silently inventory the current situation in his mind.

But initially, no wizards paid attention.

Everyone merely saw these as ordinary magical beast activities increasing after the plane energy surged.

However, less than a month after Jeming received the mandatory mission of manufacturing a biochemical beast army!

Those "wild animal disturbances" that the wizards once dismissed grew to an unimaginable scale!

At its peak, the camp had to withstand daily assaults of beast tides numbering in the millions!

They were like endless oceans, surging out day and night from the scorched earth of the Flame Sun Realm, and the icy plains of the Frost Dark Realm, constantly battering the protective force field of the wizard camp.
