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

Xu Bai was a little surprised.

He replied tentatively.

"Look at you...what are you doing?"

The experience of communicating with animals for the first time was indeed very novel for him.

But at this moment.

"Shashasha~Shashasha~~~"

A fine rustling sound came from a distance.

The many-legged beasts of burden suddenly became violent.

Growling loudly.

next moment.

They seemed to have lost their minds.

Many feet move together.

He bypassed Xu Bai directly and rushed into the desert in the vast night.

Xu Bai's figure flashed.

After two steps of pursuit, I caught a multi-legged beast of burden.

Just knock it over to the ground.

"Why are you running?"

Xu Bai was confused.

"The sand crystal scorpions have started to migrate, why don't you run away quickly?"

As he said that, the many-legged beast of burden wanted to turn over and continue running away.

Seeing that it wanted to get up, Xu Bai stretched out his hand and pressed down on the multi-legged beast of burden.

With a little force, press it back to the ground.

"Speak clearly."

"That's too late--!!!"

The multi-legged beast turned its head and looked into the distance in horror.

Following its gaze, Xu Bai looked.

In the green field of view of the night vision device.

A sand dune in the distance...

wrong.

It's a sand dune.

Suddenly it started to boil and agitate.

Immediately afterwards.

Giant scorpions nearly one meter long with clusters of sand crystals on their backs appeared in Xu Bai's field of vision.

Like a tide, it's coming this way.

Xu Bai threw a detection skill over.

The next moment, his pupils tightened, and he reached out and directly pulled up the multi-legged beast lying on the ground.

As soon as the multi-legged beast of burden got up, it ran away.

Xu Bai rode on its back and went away together.

There is no other reason.

Judging from the information obtained from the detection skills, Xu Bai discovered that the three attributes of these sand crystal scorpions, namely strength, physique, and speed, were all above 20 points!

There are no fewer than tens of thousands of such sand crystal scorpions in Xu Bai's field of vision!

...

Half an hour later.

Xu Bai rode a multi-legged beast of burden and ran in the desert.

Bypassing the migration path of the Sand Crystal Scorpions, they arrived at a safe area.

The other two multi-legged beasts of burden have long since disappeared.

Because he was riding a multi-legged beast of burden, no echinoderm sandworms attacked Xu Bai along the way.

Multi-legged beasts of burden live in the desert all year round, and their wide feet are covered with many fine downs.

When a multi-legged beast of burden walks in the desert, these downy hairs can well offset the vibrations caused by the friction between the sand and the soles of its feet.

This way, you can avoid attracting the Echinacea sandworms found all over the rocky desert to attack you.

...

"Where are they moving to?"

Arriving at the safe area, Xu Bai asked the multi-legged beast under him.

"Those big scorpions are going to the junction of the rocky desert and the misty forest."

"There is a long and narrow hilly area. It is neither extremely dry like a rocky desert nor too humid like a misty forest. They go there to mate and lay eggs."

"Don't you know this common sense?"

The many-legged beast of burden said angrily.

Xu Bai automatically ignored its tone, got off it, took out clean water and food from the storage space, and placed them in front of it.

"Is this... for me?"

The multi-legged beast of burden is a bit unbelievable.

In the rocky desert, clean water and food are scarce resources.

"Um."

Xu Bai nodded.

The many-legged beast of burden lowered its head and began to eat.

After a while.

"Hiccup~~~"

The many-legged beast of burden has finished eating.

Burped.

"Are you full?"

Xu Bai asked aloud.

"I'm full, thank you."

"That guy forced me to travel for so long and never gave me a bite to eat."

It refers to the skinny man.

Thinking of some bad memories, the many-legged beast of burden was a little angry.

Xu Bai ignored it, but opened the personal terminal in his hand and checked the map.

I found two red dots representing the enemy appearing on my map.

The two red dots moved in different directions and obviously did not belong to the same team.

Xu Bai patted the multi-legged beast's flat body.

He turned over and sat on it and said:

"Let's go, I won't treat you badly when I eat."

........

The dark night in the rocky desert is coming to an end, and a hint of fish belly white appears on the horizon, ushering in a new day.

Riding a multi-legged beast of burden, Xu Bai's movement speed in the desert was greatly improved.

It didn't take long.

A moving figure appeared in his field of vision.

This man was wearing a brown robe and holding a staff.

He is a lone mage with no teammates around him.

Now, the mage is using the staff in his hand as an auxiliary tool to support his body and walk with difficulty in the desert.

It was obvious that this mage's weak physical condition was not enough to support him in such a harsh environment as the desert.

Xu Bai speculated that with the current state of this lonely mage, even if he did not encounter other hostile walkers, he himself would fall in the desert before long.

Xu Bai patted the multi-legged beast under him, signaling it to stop.

With a flip of his wrist, he took out the Blue Sky Wings directly from the storage space.

Through the sight included with this electromagnetic sniper rifle.

Aiming at the back of the mage's head.

Pull the trigger.

The next moment, a soft sound came out.

"Pfft~"

The lone mage's right leg disappeared and was chopped into pieces by electromagnetic kinetic energy bullets. He fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

"Hit it crookedly."

Xu Bai felt a little regretful that a bullet was wasted.

Xu Bai once again aimed at Master Luo Ling who had fallen to the ground.

The influencing factors of the surrounding environment were recalculated.

Another shot fired.

But this time, the bullet missed even more.

It hit the sand directly next to Master Luo Dan.

There was a splash of gravel.

Xu Bai ejected the empty magazine.

He took out a magazine with a two-dimensional girl's painting from the storage space and replaced it.

Immediately afterwards.

He aimed again at the lone mage who fell to the ground, recalculated the trajectory, and pulled the trigger.

Gravel flew everywhere.

Crooked again...

Xu Bai put away the Blue Sky Wings directly.

He patted the multi-legged beast under him and motioned it to approach the fallen mage who was alone on the ground.

Xu Bai has already decided.

This is not the reason why my marksmanship is not good.

But there was something in that area that was interfering with his trajectory.

...
