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

The convoy drove through the ashes left after the beast's nest was burned down and returned towards the high steel wall.

"Wait, what is that?"

Suddenly, Xu Bai saw in the rearview mirror that there was something left in the center of the ashes, shining red in the sunset.

Hearing Xu Bai's words, Heitan signaled the convoy to stop again, and Xu Bai quickly got out of the car and picked it up.

It was a blood-colored crystal about the size of an adult's head.

When Xu Bai returned to the car, the convoy started again.

At this time, sitting in the moving steam chariot, Xu Bai looked at the blood-colored crystal in his arms, which was about the size of an adult's head. He fiddled with it for a long time without any clue.

However, the things that can survive in Agui's flame domain must have their own extraordinary qualities.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai mobilized his 25-point intelligence-derived perception to explore the internal structure of the blood-colored crystal.

Under Xu Bai's control, his perception successfully penetrated the blood-colored crystal.

"So that's what it's like."

Xu Bai muttered to himself.

After receiving feedback from his senses, Xu Bai had figured out the internal structure of the blood-colored crystal.

There is a mass of unactivated unknown energy inside this blood-colored crystal, silent within it.

Xu Bai carefully controlled his perception and guided a little bit of mana into the blood-colored crystal along the path that his perception entered.

Mana is a form of expression of Xu Bai's body energy. For the blood crystal, it is a kind of external energy, which may cause its own energy to react.

He wanted to try to use his own mana to activate the unknown energy inside the blood crystal.

Sure enough, under the invasion of external energy, the unknown energy inside the blood-colored crystal quickly became active. The crystal emitted a faint red light and had been activated.

At this time, in Xu Bai's perception, the energy inside the blood-colored crystal emits a signal at a certain fixed frequency, passing towards an unknown area in the southeast.

However, the specific location of that area was too far away, and Xu Bai could not judge the situation there at all. He could only sense a general direction based on the direction of the signal sent by the blood crystal.

If Xu Bai remembers correctly, the southeast direction where the blood crystal emits a signal is the direction in which the meteorite carrying the alien beast mentioned in the introduction to the world fell, and the direction in which the alien beast's nest is located.

Therefore, the signal sent by the blood-colored crystal stone is very likely to be sent to the mother nest of the alien beast.

Xu Bai speculated that the role of this blood-colored spar from the destroyed beast's nest should be to keep the will of the Alien Beast Mother Queen transmitted further afield, thereby controlling the beast tide from a distance.

This was not Xu Bai's random guess. He had been wondering before. In the two beast tides he encountered, there was obviously no mother queen of alien beasts.

So, how do ordinary alien beasts, which have no intelligence, form an organized beast tide and attack in an orderly manner without the alien beast mother queen?

And this kind of blood-colored crystal that can transmit signals over long distances should be the real answer to this question.

At this moment, as if in response to Xu Bai, a powerful will from the southeast suddenly entered the range of Xu Bai's perception and quickly disappeared into the blood-colored crystal.

Xu Bai didn't even have time to react.

"Buzz~"

A powerful spiritual shock spread from the blood-colored crystal.

This impact covers a very wide area.

Everyone in the entire convoy, including Xu Bai, felt a roar in their heads and felt dizzy.

Fortunately, the impact came suddenly and ended quickly. The dizziness only lasted for a moment and did not cause the steam chariot to lose control.

"Woo~"

After the impact, the blood-colored crystal vibrated and began to shine with a dazzling red light.

A figure emerged from the red light and gradually became clearer.

This figure resembles a human female, with a beautiful face and a tall figure. There is a pair of curved horns on the top of the head that curl back, and a pair of flesh wings on the back. There is no clothes on the body. Important parts are covered with purple-red scales, and a large area of ​​skin is exposed. in the air.

In addition to important parts of her body, her forearms and the first half of her legs were also covered with purple-red scales, which extended to her hands and feet. The nails on her fingertips and toes were sharp black claws.

"Human...you have offended me."

A cold voice came from the blood crystal.

As the sound rang out, the figure stretched out his left index finger, pointing at Xu Bai with the dark claws on his fingertips.

In an instant, Xu Bai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, a thin stream of cold sweat broke out on his head, and his thinking seemed to have stopped at this moment.

"Tip: You are suffering from a "ruined" judgment."

"Determining..."

"The judgment is passed. Because your intelligence attribute is higher than 20 points, you are immune to the effect of this killing."

Xu Bai took a long breath and stared at the figure opposite him solemnly.

Just when the two sides just looked at each other, he received a beheading decision.

If his intelligence hadn't reached 25, the other party might have killed him thousands of miles away with just one look.

Seeing that the attack failed, the figure in the red light glared fiercely, as if to remember his face firmly and then disappear.

This figure appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly.

At this time, everyone in the team reacted.

The internal communication channel has been flooded with questions.

"What was that just now?"

Next to Xu Bai, Ah Gui, whose face was still a little pale, asked with lingering fear.

Just now, Agui, who is also a mage and whose main attribute is intelligence, also sensed that powerful will.

"I'm not sure, but I think that might be the Queen of Alien Beasts."

Xu Bai posted his speculation in the contact channel to explain to everyone. At the same time, he informed everyone that he had received a beheading judgment as soon as they met, and attached a reminder message from the Court of Origin.

A pot suddenly exploded in the internal communication channel.

Yu Wan: "How can you play this? If your intelligence is not higher than 20 points, wouldn't it mean that you will be instantly killed with just one look?"

Zhao Qian: "Except for a few mages, I'm afraid no one has an intelligence above 20 points."

Jiang Yu: "The mage can withstand it, but the enemy definitely has more than this method."

Heitan (Guild President): "I think this skill of hers is probably a big move and can only be used a few times. Do you still remember the boss we encountered in the last trial progress?"

Yu Wan: "Remember, that war hammer man? Boss, didn't you drop the war hammer from him?"

Heitan (Guild President): "Do you still remember his ultimate move, the skill of spinning the hammer in a circle?"

A Li: "Remember, that skill has strong attack and flight and enhanced control. If he hadn't had a period of weakness after casting his ultimate move, and 30% of his health would have been forcibly deducted, I'm afraid he would have had to sacrifice a dozen more brothers to get him. Down."

Heitan (Guild President): "Yes, I suspect that the judgment Xu Bai just endured is a skill similar to a big move. It is powerful and consumes a lot of money. The enemy on the opposite side should not be able to use it a few times, and it will also cost a lot of effort. cost."

Heitan (Guild President): "If she can keep using it without cooling down, the difficulty of this trial world may not be lv.7, but lv.17."

Xu Bai: "If that's the case, maybe I can go up and take the judgment first, standing in the front, and the nanny in your guild will keep my lifeline, and you can just deal with it in the back."

Heitan is worthy of being the president. Although he looks big and rough on the outside, he is actually very thoughtful and can quickly analyze the enemy's attack pattern.

...

At this time, the previous panic had passed. After everyone came back to their senses and thought about it carefully, they also felt that this was the truth.

If the Queen of Alien Beasts on the opposite side could really use this type of killing skills without restriction, she would not need to create a tide of beasts at all and could single-handedly massacre the entire human race on Mo Ling Planet.

There will be no such thing as human beings building high steel walls to resist the invasion of alien beasts.

Thinking of this, everyone's still hanging hearts were relieved.

At this time, they were not far from the high steel wall, and the convoy continued to return at full speed.

...

Zoom out.

About two thousand kilometers southeast of the high steel wall, there is a meteorite with a diameter of about 10 kilometers. There is a huge crack on the surface. From the crack, you can see the ethereal purple-red light emitting from the interior of the meteorite, which is emanating from a throne in the center of the meteorite. of.

Sitting on the throne was a figure, it was the Queen of Alien Beasts who had appeared in front of Xu Bai before and almost killed him instantly with one move.

No, she shouldn't be called the Mother Queen. That's what humans call her. She should be called the Queen of Alien Beasts.

In the star realm, her status cannot be called a mother queen.

"Speed ​​up... the progress, I want to see the human body."

A cold, slightly angry voice sounded, the Queen of Alien Beasts gave the order.

At this time, she was very angry. The innate ability she was most proud of could not kill that tiny human instantly.

The Beast Queen's innate ability called "Broken" can only be used once every 30 natural days, and the corresponding spell needs to be configured to maximize its power.

It was enough for her to instantly kill a third-level intruder with her first-level strength.

However, when she sensed that her newly built beast's nest in the distance was burned down by humans, she felt a little angry in her heart and prepared to order her men to recover the blood-colored crystal in the center of the insect nest.

Unexpectedly, after a while, she sensed that the blood-colored crystal was activated by humans in some unknown way.

This is undoubtedly a huge offense to a queen of alien beasts.

Even with her current strength, which is insignificant in the entire star world, she is definitely not something that the humans on this planet can desecrate and offend.

Therefore, she immediately projected her spiritual will to crush the human opposite her like an insect.

In this way, without any preparation and without any enhancement spells, the Queen of Alien Beasts used her natural ability on Xu Bai, and the kill was judged "ruined".

She originally thought that the humans on this planet were just ants, but she didn't expect that Xu Bai's intelligence reached 25 after drinking two bottles of glow potion.

The upper limit of the "ruin" judgment without any increase is only 20 points.

Somehow, she wasted her talent.

You have to wait until a month later to use it again.

...

Increase the angle of view.

Taking the crater as the starting point, within a radius of a hundred kilometers, the strange beast nests that Xu Bai had seen before were everywhere, and there were still ordinary strange beasts constantly building new beast nests.

These beast nests will split open every once in a while, and mature red beasts will come out from inside.

At this time, if you look from a high altitude, you will find that the ground is covered with red beasts, about 500,000 of them.

There are a small number of ordinary alien beasts mixed in among the red alien beasts, and some emerald green energy stones are being continuously sent into the beast's nest where the red alien beasts are still being cultivated.

There is no doubt that this is the base camp of the alien beasts.

As the Queen of Alien Beasts issued the order, the entire beast herd stagnated for a moment, and then immediately seemed to be on fast forward, exploding troops like crazy.

Feeling the explosions in the beast nests everywhere, the Queen of Alien Beasts showed a slightly cruel smile, and patted the throne beneath her. The purple-red light on the throne gradually dissipated, and the whole person was hidden in the darkness inside the meteorite. .
