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

"Do you regard...them as the same kind?"

The Marquise, whose body was pierced by sharp ice thorns, did not die immediately. She uttered such unexplained words to Xu Bai with difficulty, and her body gradually stiffened.

Silver light flashed, and a silver treasure box appeared next to the body of the Marquis.

Due to the existence of the prestige store, Xu Bai did not obtain any trial merit in the three battles.

Xu Bai picked up the silver treasure box on the ground and put it into the storage space.

As for the remaining vampires in the venue, they had already escaped completely.

Escaped into the passage at the other end of the bloody barrier.

Just kidding, even the high-ranking Marquise was instantly killed. They stayed here to die.

Without the guards of the blood race, the humans who were still alive in the blood barrier began to help each other loosen their bonds.

After resuming operations, they spontaneously lowered the bodies of their companions who were still tied to the cross but whose blood had been drained.

Seeing this, Xu Bai called to them, pointed to the underground passage from where he came, and said, "Go there, someone should come to pick you up."

The person Xu Bai pointed out was naturally the Hunter Guild.

However, he did not clearly state the existence of the Hunter Guild.

It would be better for these ordinary people not to know.

Presumably, the Hunter Guild's large force should be arriving soon, and they will probably find the hole in the abandoned factory soon.

The rest is easy to handle. With the Hunter Guild's ability, it is easy to bring these civilians to the ground.

As for the rest of the aftermath, the Hunter Guild should have a headache.

However, the Hunter Guild has been able to fight against the vampires for more than 300 years, so it will definitely have experience in dealing with emergencies in this area.

Maybe, after being rescued, these civilians will go through a process such as memory erasure to erase the memories of the vampires and this blood sacrifice in their minds.

This is not what Xu Bai has to worry about.

...

Soon, the civilians took the bodies of their companions and all left.

Xu Bai was the only one left in the bloody barrier.

At this time, he was standing next to the blood pool where there was no more blood replenishment, but the water level was still falling. He frowned and sensed the situation below the blood pool.

After killing the Marquise, the situation in the blood pool seemed to have changed a bit.

Currently, with his perception ability derived from his 38 points of intelligence, he is unable to detect the situation inside the blood pool.

I could only vaguely feel that the mysterious creature under the blood pool had not been awakened by the battle just now and was still sleeping.

In addition, the blood in the pool is still decreasing, indicating that this creature has not yet awakened and is still absorbing blood to replenish itself.

He couldn't tell whether the current situation was good or bad.

While he was thinking, Xu Bai caught a glimpse of a group of figures in black trench coats appearing in the distance in the passage where he came in.

It was a small team from the Hunter Guild, only a dozen or so people.

Presumably, the large force of the Hunter Guild should be handling the aftermath of the civilians at this time.

The fact that a team of more than a dozen people could be separated to go underground to explore the situation of this huge cavity is enough to show that they attach great importance to this blood sacrifice incident.

The hunter team quickly approached and came to the bloody barrier, looking for the entrance.

Xu Bai waved to them, pointed to the entrance at the other end of the bloody barrier, and motioned for them to enter from there.

After a while, the hunter team entered the bloody barrier.

The leader of the team was Xu Bai's old acquaintance, "The Great Hunter" Osler.

However, in this team, in addition to Osler and several hunters from this world, there were several people Xu Bai had met before.

It was the walkers he met in the Hunter Guild before.

This made Xu Bai alert, and he was still unwilling to reveal his identity as a walker.

...

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

After entering the bloody barrier and seeing Xu Bai, Osler was a little surprised.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the body of the Marquis lying on the ground beside him.

At this time, the icy thorns that penetrated the Marquise's body had long since disappeared, and her body was lying on the hard rock on the ground.

"This is...Galice Cecil? The Vampire Marquis?"

"Um."

Osler was in disbelief.

With his strength as a great hunter, he was only a 50-50 opponent against the Marquise.

Looking at the scene at this moment, the Marquise seemed to be killed instantly by the "medium hunter" in front of her.

From the moment the two met, he guessed that Xu Bai was not weak, but he didn't expect that the other party was so strong.

At the moment, Xu Bai's ability to kill the Marquise instantly may not be possible even for the special hunters Osler knows.

Thinking of this, Osler slapped his head, turned back to the team members behind him and said, "I almost forgot to introduce you, this is..."

"Mo Xiu."

"Hello."

Several walkers greeted Xu Bai.

"Um."

Xu Bai nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Osler pointed to the passage at the other end of the bloody barrier and said to Xu Bai: "According to the descriptions of those civilians, they came here from the underground passage on the other side.

Moreover, we know from the description that the passage is connected to a huge underground city.

There are still many humans imprisoned in that underground city.

Since a large number of manpower had to be dispatched to deal with the aftermath of the civilian incident, the headquarters sent me to lead a small team to explore the situation there first. "

"In other words, you think there are not enough people and you want me to go with you?"

"Yes, with you, the success rate will be greatly increased."

"Yes, but I will do it alone."

As he said that, Xu Bai glanced at the walkers in the team.

"If there are too many people, it will hold me back."

The walkers immediately felt offended, but did not dare to argue with Xu Bai.

Just kidding, they besieged a vampire count and were almost wiped out.

And the person in front of him, who didn't know whether he was an aboriginal or a walker, could even kill the Marquis instantly.

If something makes someone unhappy and your ashes are spread, who can you go to to reason with?

Immediately afterwards, Xu Bai pointed to the blood pool where the water level was still declining, and added: "There is something under this blood pool. You'd better send someone back to report the situation."

"What else could there be?"

Osler didn't care and walked to the blood pool.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

His perception ability was not excellent, and because he was far away before, he did not notice the situation inside the blood pool.

At this time, after getting closer, he also felt the aura emanating from the terrifying creature that was still sleeping in the blood pool.

In an instant, cold sweat covered Osler's forehead.

"Damn..."

Ao Liao wiped the cold sweat from his face and asked Xu Bai beside him.

"What is this?"

"I don't know either. It would be better if you quickly find someone to report back."

At this moment, Osler had realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately sent a hunter back to report.
