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

Xu Bai returned to the Hunter Guild.

"This is Carter Morse, Count of the Vampire Clan, and the blood-sucking fangs of his subordinate Vampire Clan."

At this time, in the hall of the Hunter Guild, Xu Bai handed over the blood-sucking fangs captured in this mission to the staff at the counter.

These blood-sucking fangs were exchanged for a total of 1637 hunter reputation points.

"Tip: Your current hunter reputation has met the requirements for hunter level promotion. Do you want to be promoted?"

"Current Hunter Guild reputation: 2208 points"

"The reputation value required for promotion to the next stage of "Advanced Hunter": 2208/2000"

Xu Bai did not choose to be promoted.

His own strength is far stronger than that of a "medium hunter", but he is not in a hurry to advance to the hunter level and quickly complete the main mission.

This time, the main mission has a 30-day period. Therefore, he must obtain as much hunter reputation as possible while ensuring the completion of the main mission, so that he can use the hunter reputation to exchange for the equipment and skills he needs.

Therefore, Xu Bai is not in a hurry to advance to the hunter level.

After exchanging the blood-sucking fangs for reputation points, Xu Bai truthfully informed the staff of the Hunter Guild about what he saw in the bar where Count Morse was hiding.

...

"May the innocent soul rest in peace."

After a while, the staff learned about the situation. They put their index fingers between their eyebrows and made a praying gesture, looking a little sad.

"We will send someone to handle this matter immediately, please rest assured."

"That's good."

After receiving a clear answer, Xu Bai stood up and left, preparing to continue to increase his hunter reputation so that he could exchange for reputation rewards.

At this moment, a broadcast suddenly sounded in the hall: "A sudden large-scale blood sacrifice incident occurred. Two high-level hunters, seven medium hunters, and twenty-three ordinary hunters have been attacked and disappeared."

"Based on the descriptions of the survivors, it is initially determined that the blood sacrifice site is the territory of the "Marquis"-level vampire clan, and there is a small chance that it is the territory of the "Duke". "

"Currently, the second batch of fellow hunters who went to investigate are still trapped and waiting for support."

"Because this mission is extremely dangerous, in order to avoid unnecessary loss of personnel, ordinary hunters please stay here. Hunters of medium level and above, please rush to the abandoned factory in the northern suburbs immediately for support."

Suddenly, the Hunter Guild Hall became busy.

Among the busy crowd, Xu Bai also spotted several walkers wearing personal terminals from the Garden of Origins.

It seems that he is also preparing to leave for the northern suburbs factory.

Xu Bai did not come forward to greet them.

Although they are all walkers, they do not know each other, and there is even a vague competitive relationship. There is really no need to say hello.

Xu Bai walked straight through the crowd and left the Hunter Guild Hall.

...

Not long after, Xu Bai rode the motorcycle provided by the Hunter Guild and rushed to the abandoned factory in the northern suburbs.

Half an hour later, he arrived near the abandoned factory.

From here, you can already see the abandoned factory buildings built with steel sheds in the abandoned factory, which are now rusty on the surface.

In order to prevent the sound of the engine from revealing his position, Xu Bai parked his motorcycle on the side of the road some distance away from the abandoned factory.

Because he did not know the exact location of the second batch of trapped hunters, Xu Bai did not enter directly from the factory gate.

Instead, he chose to walk a short distance to the side fence of the factory, climbed in, and sneaked into it.

As soon as he entered the abandoned factory, the spear to break the evil immediately appeared in Xu Bai's hand.

This factory was eerily quiet. Logically speaking, it had been abandoned for a long time, and there would at least be some chirping of insects and birds, but there was no sound at this time.

A gust of wind blew from the north of the factory, bringing a slightly rancid smell of blood.

This bloody smell entered Xu Bai's nostrils, making him frown.

Obviously, there is something abnormal about this putrid smell of blood, and it should be related to the blood sacrifice incident mentioned in the Hunter Guild's previous broadcast.

The second batch of trapped hunters is also likely nearby.

Following this blood energy, Xu Bai lowered his body, clinging to the rusty abandoned factory wall, sneaking into the abandoned factory, searching for the source of the blood energy to the north.

The abandoned factory was extremely quiet. Xu Bai slowed down as much as possible to avoid making unnecessary noises.

With his current level of physical control, it is very easy to do this.

After walking for a moment, a huge circular pit appeared in front of Xu Bai.

By comparing the map provided by the Hunter Guild, Xu Bai discovered that the location of this pit was originally a transit warehouse in an abandoned factory.

Xu Bai walked to the pothole and looked down.

Viewed from above, the pothole first went vertically downward, and when it reached about 100 meters underground, it suddenly turned at a right angle of nearly 90 degrees.

Because of this corner, the direction of the pothole also changed from vertical downwards to parallel to the ground, extending in an unknown direction.

And the slightly fishy smell of blood wafted out from this pit.

At a depth of about a hundred meters, with Xu Bai's current physical fitness, if he jumps directly without any equipment or protective measures, there is a high probability that he will die.

But this didn't bother him.

Xu Bai took out a leather cloak from the storage space, put it on his body, and jumped directly into the pit.

The high-speed fall that was supposed to occur did not happen. Xu Bai floated in the air like a parachute and slowly landed under the pothole.

This is the passive skill "Sky Child" of this equipment "Dragon Hunter Cloak", which brings Xu Bai a gliding effect.

Son of the Sky (Passive): When falling from a high altitude, you can enter a gliding state and be immune to fall damage.

Among the three-piece Dragon Hunter set, only this cloak is somewhat conspicuous. Xu Bai usually does not equip it, but only equips two less conspicuous pieces of equipment: "Dragon Bone Revolver" and "Dragon Heart Necklace".

Needless to say, the "Dragon Heart Necklace" is a life-saving artifact.

As for the "Dragon Bone Revolver", Xu Bai is not yet proficient in using firearms, and will not use it as his main means of combat.

However, the "Dragon Bone Revolver" is the best secondary weapon for long-range walkers.

Its equipment effect can be said to be specially designed for long-range walkers.

After Xu Bai exchanged the sniper rifle "Blue Sky Wings" and the basic firearms skill scroll "Firearms Introduction" in the prestige store, and gained long-range precision strike capabilities that far exceeded the range of his current legal skills, the value of "Dragon Bone Revolver" was All will be brought out.

Now, the reason why he equips "Dragon Bone Revolver" is simply to combine it with "Dragon Heart Necklace" to create a two-piece dragon hunting set.

...

A moment later, relying on the gliding effect of "Sky Child", Xu Bai landed steadily at the bottom of the pit.

At the bottom of the pit, the slightly rancid smell of blood was even stronger.

This gave Xu Bai a faint sense of crisis.

Therefore, Xu Bai did not put away the somewhat conspicuous "Dragon Hunter Cloak", but continued to wear it behind him.

He originally carried two pieces of Dragon Hunter series equipment, and now with this cloak, all the effects of the Dragon Hunter suit are activated.

Set skill: Dragon Hunter's Will.

Two-piece set effect: When you equip two pieces of the Dragon Hunting Will suit at the same time, your attack will have a blood flame effect, causing an additional damage of 10% of the enemy's current health, and the damage to dragon enemies will be doubled.

Three-piece set effect: When you equip three pieces of the Dragon Hunter's Will set at the same time, you will gain a 10% increase in all attributes (except luck).

The two effects of the Dragon Hunter suit are very powerful and can be said to be necessary to fight strong enemies.

Xu Bai put away his cloak and tried his best to make himself look less conspicuous. He pressed against the wall of the passage and went deeper into the distance.

Not long after entering, he saw a flash of red light in the distance of this passage.

Continuing forward in the direction of the red light, Xu Bai walked about 5 kilometers.

Currently, this distance has left the scope of the abandoned factory on the surface and has come to the wilderness outside the factory.

There were no emergencies along the way. Xu Bai successfully reached the end of the pothole, and a huge underground cavity appeared in front of him.

Judging from the geological structure, this underground cavity should be a cave eroded by water flow. Perhaps because of the passage of time, the groundwater has long since disappeared, leaving only this huge cavity.

Xu Bai looked into the hollow and saw a huge semicircular bloody barrier in the center of the hollow.

The red light Xu Bai saw in the underground passage before was emitted by this barrier.

Xu Bai left the passage and entered this huge underground cave. Using the cover of the jagged rocks in the cave, he hid his figure and slowly approached the bloody barrier.
