Li Wei appeared beside the heavily injured Lava Giant Lizard.

The Lava Giant Lizard lay on the ground, its Fragile belly exposed.

An orange-red Fireball struck the Lava Giant Lizard’s belly.

BOOM!

The Lava Giant Lizard’s body shuddered, and it stopped breathing.

The Shadow Attendant quietly slipped inside the Lava Giant Lizard’s body and took the Demon Core.

Li Wei coveted the other materials on the Lava Giant Lizard’s body, but it would be inconvenient to escape while carrying the creature.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Several Ice Cones shot toward Li Wei.

CRACK! CRACK!

The Ice Cones hit Li Wei but were blocked by his Invisible Armor.

Savis looked surprised.

He had assumed that after Li Wei withstood the Lava Storm, his Magic Shield would be incredibly Fragile.

He hadn’t expected it to still easily block his Ice Cone Skill.

Savis’s gaze hardened. He began Casting the Freezing Skill, preparing to stop Li Wei.

WHOOSH!

A small Fireball shot toward him.

It interrupted Savis’s Casting.

Wicks roared, "Armor! Stop!"

He cast Wind Track and chased after Li Wei.

"Raging Water Waves!"

Meryl shot a Water Wave at Wicks.

BANG!

The Wind Shield on Wicks’s body exploded. He faltered, turned his head to Meryl, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Meryl stared at him with an ugly expression, her eyes blazing with fury. "No, what are *you* doing?"

"Were you trying to kill all of us just now?"

As soon as she said this, Savis subconsciously looked at Wicks.

Now, he also realized Wicks was the one who had caused the Lava Storm.

Savis was furious as well; his Ice Shield had nearly failed to block it.

Ice and fire were naturally opposed, and the wind had fanned the flames, making it even more powerful.

It had needlessly wasted a lot of his Mana.

"You did this?"

Savis questioned him.

Wicks’s heart went numb. He glanced around, seeing he was about to become the target of everyone’s anger.

An idea struck him. He pointed at Li Wei and shouted, "He took the Fire Lotus!"

Wicks didn’t know if Li Wei had actually taken the Fire Lotus.

Right now, this was just a desperate attempt to frame him.

His guess was spot on.

And it successfully diverted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked at Li Wei.

The corner of Li Wei’s mouth twitched.

’I was so close to succeeding, but of course this troublemaker Wicks had to single me out.’

Wilder also arrived on the battlefield and heard that the Armored Man had taken the Fire Lotus.

He shouted, "Hand over the Fire Lotus!"

"ROAR!"

Seeing its companion dead, the other Lava Giant Lizard let out a mournful cry and an angry roar.

Seeing the enraged Lava Giant Lizard charging over, everyone’s scalp tingled with fear.

Wilder glanced at the Lava Giant Lizards. "A mere two Magic Beasts, trying to act all high and mighty?"

Tier Two Earth Magic.

"Rock Array!"

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

The cave shook, and several stone pillars grew out from the cavern walls.

The pillars crisscrossed, pinning the Lava Giant Lizard to the ground, unable to move.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

"So strong!"

The Lava Giant Lizard struggled frantically.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

CRACK!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Lava Giant Lizard shattered the stone pillars and broke free.

It spewed out a large amount of lava.

Wilder’s expression changed.

Everyone: "..."

’Time to run!’

However, the path was blocked by Wilder’s Rock Array.

His actions had rendered them all speechless.

BOOM! RUMBLE RUMBLE!

A huge explosion rang out, immediately followed by the sound of collapsing rock.

Everyone turned to look. Li Wei had blasted an exit and was long gone.

Wicks was the first to move.

"Don’t even think about escaping!"

On one hand, he was chasing Li Wei.

On the other, he also wanted to run.

Wilder was holding off the two Lava Giant Lizards by himself. He turned his head and saw that everyone else was preparing to flee.

Instantly, his face darkened.

’So I’m the only one fighting my heart out while you all run away?’

Seeing this, Wilder also made a run for it.

"Earth Wall Skill!"

He created an earth wall to block the Lava Giant Lizards for a moment, then turned and ran for the exit.

BOOM! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The earth wall lasted only a moment before the Lava Giant Lizards smashed through it.

ROAR!

The Lava Giant Lizards gave chase relentlessly.

WHOOSH!

Li Wei had noticed that after Wilder cast Rock Array, the surrounding cavern walls had become much weaker.

He used his Spiritual Power to find the weakest spot, blasted open an exit with a Charged Fireball Skill, and escaped to safety.

"Armor! Stop!"

Wicks chased out of the cave, hot on his heels.

Li Wei paid him no mind. Hearing his voice, he actually accelerated and flew up toward the sky.

Unwilling to give up, Wicks hurriedly tried to extend his Wind Track into the sky to catch Li Wei.

However, Wind Track was ultimately a ground-based Flying Spell; he couldn’t actually fly.

Watching Li Wei fly away, he was filled with frustration.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the sky.

Wicks looked up in surprise.

Li Wei felt a fierce gust of wind assault him from behind.

BANG!

A massive force slammed into him from behind. Li Wei lost his balance and tumbled head over heels.

But he found he wasn’t Falling.

He turned his head to see a Hand and Foot Winged Dragon with a wingspan of over twenty meters had grabbed him.

Wicks watched in shock as the giant Hand and Foot Winged Dragon seized Li Wei and flew away.

"What the fuck!"

"My magic...!"

In the audience stands, everyone cried out in alarm when they saw the Armored Man get snatched away by the Hand and Foot Winged Dragon.

"The Armored Man has been captured!"

"It’s over. He’s a dead man for sure."

"His only chance of survival now is to forfeit the match and teleport out of the Secret Realm."

"A pity, a real pity! I thought the Armored Man had a high chance of winning it all. I never expected him to run into such bad luck."

The crowd was full of sighs and exclamations.

Gu Ze also felt it was a bit of a shame.

Losing such a powerful contestant would make the rest of the competition much less interesting to watch.

Li Wei, however, wasn’t as worried as everyone else.

On the contrary, he lay leisurely in the Hand and Foot Winged Dragon’s claws, letting it carry him far away from the battlefield.

His situation looked terrible, but in reality, the Hand and Foot Winged Dragon hadn’t even broken through his Invisible Armor.

The reason everyone thought he would be eliminated from the competition after being captured by the Hand and Foot Winged Dragon was largely because Mages below Tier Three don’t have Flying Spells.

If they fall from a great height, they’ll be killed.

Furthermore, an adult Hand and Foot Winged Dragon’s Level could reach Tier Two High Level, or even Tier Two Peak.

The Hand and Foot Winged Dragon held aerial superiority, making it a top predator in the Island Secret Realm.

The Hand and Foot Winged Dragon flew Li Wei to its nest.

It was a huge nest at the top of a giant tree, more than fifty meters in diameter.

As big as four basketball courts.

The Hand and Foot Winged Dragon dropped Li Wei into the nest, and three of its young, each over two meters tall, gathered around.

TING! TING! TING! DANG! DANG! DANG!

The young Hand and Foot Winged Dragons pecked at Li Wei, unable to break through the defense of his Invisible Armor.

The adult Hand and Foot Winged Dragon glanced over but didn’t pay it much mind.

Although it had never seen such a strange type of food as a human before, its small size meant it posed no threat.

What’s more, this piece of food wasn’t moving at all, as if it were dead.

So the adult Hand and Foot Winged Dragon tossed him aside and ignored him.

It left him for the young to learn how to deal with food that has a hard shell.

This was a mandatory lesson for the hatchlings.

The adult Hand and Foot Winged Dragon stayed in the nest for a while before flying off again.

Li Wei waited a moment, then got to his feet.

The three young Hand and Foot Winged Dragons looked at him, their expressions curious.

They didn’t understand why their food was moving again.

Seeing one of the young ones run over to peck him, Li Wei kicked it away.

"Get lost."
