We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

"Pfft."

Xu Bai stood on the back of the collapsed red beast, pulled out a spear from its body, and brought out a string of blood beads.

Xu Bai turned over and jumped off the back of the red beast, came to its huge head, and poked its head with the handle of his gun.

"Roar."

The red beast let out an unwilling roar and opened its mouth desperately, trying to bite Xu Bai.

However, its body no longer obeyed, and only its head and neck kept twisting, which looked a little funny.

At this point, all four red beasts that attacked from behind were eliminated.

Seeing that the red beast had lost the ability to move, Xu Bai ignored it, left it behind, and turned to join the battlefield ahead.

Returning to the others, Xu Bai put the spear to destroy evil into the storage space, became a mage again, and began to release skills from behind to clean up the strange beasts.

He did not choose to continue using the spear for close combat.

There is no other reason, because in the beast tide, ordinary alien beasts are stationed very densely.

Therefore, range skills are the best choice for cleaning up ordinary alien beasts. In addition, these ordinary alien beasts only have primitive animal instincts and basically no intelligence. The frost traps originally used for sneak attacks are directly thrown into the beast tide. can play a maximum role.

So from the current point of view, the speed of killing enemies in melee combat is far less than that of using AOE skills as a mage from behind.

However, if someone really treats Xu Bai as a fragile mage and chooses to assassinate Xu Bai at close range.

Then he might die miserably.

After all, with the dual blessing of talents and weapons, melee combat can be said to be Xu Bai's strongest means of fighting singles.

Just like when facing several red alien beasts at the same time that obviously have certain intelligence and are stronger than ordinary alien beasts, Xu Bai will choose to pick up a spear and go forward to fight in close combat, telling them who is the real hunter.

...

At this time, on the battlefield ahead, Heitan and the others had already killed two red beasts.

After experiencing the panic of being suddenly attacked, the Walkers showed their due strength.

With the tacit cooperation, everyone in the Black Gate Guild relied on the terrain advantage to withstand the surging beast tide, even without the support of the steam cannon at the rear.

At this time, with the addition of Xu Bai, a powerful mage, the pressure on the melee personnel in front was suddenly reduced.

For a time, everyone worked together to kill the beast tide and retreated step by step.

Soon, the remaining two red beasts were killed by everyone. At this time, there were no more red beasts on the field.

However, everyone was still on guard, always paying attention to their surroundings, for fear of being attacked by the red beast.

However, in the ensuing battle, no red beast appeared.

In more than an hour, nearly 10,000 ordinary beasts had been wiped out by the walker's various abilities.

There were 5 casualties among the 20 people.

But this is not a game. If you die, you are dead. There is no way to resurrect.

...

The battlefield was filled with smoke and the bodies of strange beasts were everywhere.

Looking at the corpses of strange beasts on the ground, Heitan felt a little melancholy and came to Xu Bai's side.

"You are so strong, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

He originally thought that Xu Bai was already a very powerful master, but he didn't expect that his true identity turned out to be a close combat master.

"Perhaps if you had taken action earlier, Xiao Du and the others might not have died."

Life and death in the Court of Origin is just a common occurrence. Death in the trial can only be said to be bad luck. Xu Bai can't be blamed for this.

But looking at the brother who was still alive one second, he was torn into pieces by strange beasts and swallowed into his belly the next second.

Heitan said in his heart that he didn't feel uncomfortable, but that was a lie.

Now that he came to Xu Bai, he actually didn't mean to accuse him. He was just afraid that Xu Bai might have some evil intentions if he hid his strength and cooperated with them.

"I'm sorry about this."

"I didn't expect this to happen. In the beast tide, my speed of clearing monsters as a mage would be faster than that of a melee combatant."

Xu apologized to Heitan apologetically.

"As for my hidden strength, I can only say that I must be on guard against others."

"If I really had any evil intentions, I wouldn't save Zhao Qian."

Zhao Qian is the nanny Xu Bai rescued earlier.

Xu Bai's words were not spoken to Heitan alone, but were directly sent to the communication channel of this operation.

Except for Xu Bai and Heitan, the remaining 13 people can see these messages.

The reason why he never showed his true strength before was because he was wary of other walkers.

Walking people are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires.

Even if Xu Bai believes in Heitan and others, it is inevitable that other walkers will be jealous of his equipment.

The abilities of these walkers can be described as diverse and strange, covering all aspects.

Once these people with special abilities act in a wrong way, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xu Bai is not so arrogant that he thinks he is invincible.

Heitan and other members also understood what he meant and said nothing more.

Soon everyone had cleaned up the battlefield and tied the red beast that Xu Bai had captured alive to a steam chariot.

Return at full speed toward the high steel wall.

They must return quickly and tell the people within the steel wall about the emergence of elite individuals among the alien beasts.

If a beast tide consisting entirely of red beasts appeared, the consequences would be disastrous.

I am afraid that none of the 300 walkers who entered this time can complete the main mission.

Once the main mission fails, the punishment faced is forced execution.

Early warning must be given as soon as possible.

...

The four steam chariots were running at full speed across the wilderness, heading towards the high steel wall.

At this time, a huge blood-red building with a weird shape appeared in front of the convoy.

This building covers an area of ​​approximately thousands of square meters and initially appears to be made of a biological material.

At first glance, this building looks like an enlarged version of a star fruit, but the exterior is covered with a layer of fleshy membrane, which makes it look a bit bloated.

The flesh membrane was filled with liquid, and something was vaguely squirming in the liquid.

This building was not seen when we set out. It appeared here in less than half a day, which made everyone feel a little uneasy.

On this planet, this style of architecture would definitely not be human architecture.

Then it can only be a strange beast.

Thinking of this, the uneasiness in everyone's hearts became more intense.

"Everyone, stop the car and stay in the car. I'll go down and take a look. Don't forget to add status to me."

The convoy stopped in front of the building, and Heitan gave orders over the communication channel.

After saying that, he opened the car door, took out his iconic giant shield and war hammer from the storage space, and cautiously walked towards this weird building.

"I will go with you."

Xu Bai's voice sounded from behind Heitan.

Heitan looked back at Xu Bai, nodded, and motioned for Xu Bai to follow.

The two of them lit up with light, which was the status buff given by the nanny.

The two walked to the strange building.

Heitan stretched out his finger and poked the fleshy membrane covering the building.

“Tougher than I thought.”

The meat membrane is not too thick, but it is very tough.

Suddenly a spear tip appeared next to him, hitting the flesh membrane.

"Stay back and don't let the contents splash on you."

It was Xu Bai who took out Poxie, and he was going to cut open the fleshy membrane to take a look.

Hearing Xu Bai's words, Heitan took a few steps back.

The tip of Xu Bai's gun touched the flesh membrane, and he slowly applied force in his hand to make a small opening in the flesh membrane.

Then it quickly slid down, and in the blink of an eye, a half-meter long tear appeared in the flesh membrane.

The liquid inside the flesh membrane quickly flows out, and at the same time, the contents inside the flesh membrane are flushed out.

A fishy smell hit my face.

The thing that was washed out looked like an immature embryo, with its limbs curled together, and it was impossible to tell what species it was.

Xu Bai endured his nausea and used the tip of his spear to turn over the things that came out of the fleshy membrane and examine them carefully.

This thing looked more and more familiar to him, and it looked like an immature alien beast.

"This big guy, shouldn't it be something that hatches strange beasts?"

Xu Bai pointed at the embryo that looked like a strange beast on the ground, then pointed at the huge weird building in front of him, and said to Heitan.

"I think this looks like a beast's nest, the kind that can explode troops." Heitan said.

"Then we probably have to go back quickly."

Xu Bai put away his spear, feeling a little worried.

This place is only a hundred kilometers away from the high steel wall. If the nests of alien beasts are built here, it will definitely not be good news for humans.

"Burn it, Agui."

Heitan ordered over the communication channel.

Now that I have seen this kind of thing, I must destroy it.

Agui stepped off the steam chariot and came to the beast's nest. His fingertips lit up and he started singing.

"Fire Domain!"

Agui shouted loudly, and the beast's nest erupted into flames out of thin air, covering the entire beast's nest, and a terrifying heat wave hit his face.

After releasing the skill, Agui looked a little pale, which was caused by consuming a lot of mana in a short period of time.

After a while, the beast's nest was reduced to ashes in front of everyone's eyes.

The three of them got back into the car, and the convoy bypassed the ashes and continued back to the high steel wall.
