276 Epic Battle Against the Cavern Slaves (1/2)

There were three people in the team with Fire Element: Mo Fan, Song Xia, and Zhao Mingyue.

The three immediately cast Fire Burst at the vines on both sides of the tunnel. Since they were using Burning Bones, the vines were burned away quickly...

When the vines finished burning into scorched ashes, the group immediately realized that there were two other caves close to them.

The Cavern Slaves coming from the front and the rear were scary, but they could still hold them off with their magic. A potential ambush right beside them was the scariest, since it would catch the group off guard, and the magic they cast would also be friendly-fire if they panicked.

”Those in the middle of the group should try and eliminate the Cavern Slaves in the caves nearby as soon as possible!” Lu Zhenghe's shouted furiously above the noise in the tunnel.

Mo Fan was quite surprised. Lu Zhenghe might be arrogant, but he knew what he was doing as a commander. He was most likely the person that told them to burn the vines down.

Their priority now was to eliminate the Cavern Slaves in the nearby caves, as they could not be allowed to come close to the team. The biggest difference between the magicians and the demon beasts was not power, but the fact that magicians were way weaker when it came to close-quarters combat!

A single swing of the bone stick would hit like a hydraulic hammer.

Despite being elites in their respective schools, it was difficult for them to control the situation straight away when their lives were endangered all of a sudden. The student from the Imperial College called Xiao Feng found himself in an extremely dangerous position, as he was flanked by two Cavern Slaves at the same time.

”Bright Mirror Shield!” Xiao Feng activated his shield in the nick of time.

However, the Cavern Slaves were not as slow-witted as he had imagined. The bone stick that was aimed at his chest was repelled, but the other was aimed straight at his calf, where there was no protection!

The bone stick made direct contact with his right calf, as Xiao Feng could not dodge in time. The horrifying sound of cracked bone rang out instantly.

”AHHHH!!! Help....AHHHH!!” Xiao Feng screamed in agony, and before he could withdraw, his left calf received the second blow. His two legs, solid and muscular a few seconds ago, were smashed flat, leaving pulped flesh and bone behind.

Blood was splattered everywhere, as everything below Xiao Feng's knees was shattered. He subconsciously crawled toward his teammates on the ground in extreme pain.

It was shocking enough that he could still stay conscious, due to magicians having stronger minds than ordinary people. His calves had been directly shattered.

”Ice Spread!”

As the group finally realized that Xiao Feng was separated from them, Mu Ningxue was the first to react by casting her Ice Element spell.

The layer of frost spread rapidly across the ground, turning the area where the two Cavern Slaves were into an icy white zone. The icy mist immediately covered their eyes...

”The Ice Spread won't be enough to save him...” Peng Liang immediately acted as he was aware that the spell Ice Spread needed some time to freeze the target. By then, Xiao Feng would already be crushed to pieces!

However, as soon as Peng Liang arrived in front of Xiao Feng, the movements of the two ferocious Cavern Slaves suddenly came to a stop.

In just less than a second, the not-so-muscular legs of the Cavern Slaves were covered in a layer of ice. The Ice Spread froze their flesh first, before completely freezing the blood in their legs.
