Free Web NovelChapter 751: Chapter 186: Is Wei Molili Saved? (1st Update)
On the battlefield remnants, only Mu Qingge stood alone. The Linglong Spear in her hand was majestic and intimidating, perfectly complementing her aura.
Xi Qianxue awakened from her shock, slowly emerging from her hiding spot, took a deep breath, and then quickly ran towards Mu Qingge.
"They..." Xi Qianxue opened her mouth, but didn’t know where to begin with her questions.
If it was said that Mu Qingge was previously not easily injured by these spiritual attacks because she was both an Artifact Refiner and an Alchemist, then how could one explain the current situation?
What method did she use to so sharply kill all these undead monsters!
Xi Qianxue had too many questions in her heart, but when facing Mu Qingge, a voice inside told her, ’Some things should not be asked, and some things should not be overthought.’
So when the words reached her lips, ’How did they die’ transformed into another sentence—
"Are they all dead now?" Xi Qianxue stared at the ashen powder.
Mu Qingge nodded, "They should be dead." And they died very thoroughly.
Xi Qianxue bit her lip lightly, stopping herself from asking further questions.
Mu Qingge glanced back, her clear gaze falling upon Xi Qianxue, observing her expression, and said lightly, "Now, I have found a way to kill them."
Xi Qianxue paused, lifted her head, meeting Mu Qingge’s eyes. She speculated in her heart, ’Is he going to take the initiative to explain everything to me?’
"These monsters have a very clear division of roles. The tall ones are the commanders, while the short ones are the executors," Mu Qingge explained.
Xi Qianxue listened intently, though feeling a bit melancholic. She inwardly laughed at herself for overthinking earlier, expecting Mu Qingge to share her secret of killing the monsters.
However, she soon found solace. She gave herself a good reason, that perhaps the method Mu Qingge used was not something everyone could utilize.
Moreover, everyone has their own trump card, and if it’s a trump card, how can it be easily divulged to others?
The curiosity in Xi Qianxue’s heart vanished suddenly. She calmed her mind and listened to Mu Qingge continue.
"The executors have strong attack power, and can’t be killed by ordinary means. Instead, like before, they multiply the more they are slain. But the commanders do not have the ability to attack, and their defensive power is even weaker."
Mu Qingge’s words prompted Xi Qianxue to ask, "Why is it like that?"
Why is it like that? Why such a strange division?
Mu Qingge furrowed her brow, stating her hypothesis, "Personally, I think these small monsters should be derived from the big monster through some kind of transformation. You could interpret these little monsters as his avatars, or attack methods."
"Ah?" The more Xi Qianxue listened, the more confused she became.
Mu Qingge chuckled, "I know it’s indeed a bit difficult to understand. Let’s venture a bold guess. These monsters we encountered are a peculiar race, and these tall and short ones are just one branch of their kind. They have no gender and came here not like it’s practice, but more likely to gather something from the battlefield. Therefore, I judge that their status in their own race should not be high. And their speciality lies in their ability to split."
"Split?" Xi Qianxue carefully contemplated every word Mu Qingge said, seemingly starting to understand. "You mean, these short monsters are all split from the tall monster. Through this division, he also divided his attack power, leaving his main body to only serve as a commander."
"Correct!" Mu Qingge nodded. "Previously, when we encountered that group, there were two tall monsters, and I noticed they were controlling different small monsters, and those small monsters obeyed different big monsters. The reason the small monsters couldn’t be killed by normal means was because none of them were the main body; they were all avatars split from the big monster. Moreover, they also inherited the big monster’s division attribute, so physical harm only resulted in more of them multiplying."
Xi Qianxue slowly nodded, seemingly finding Mu Qingge’s explanation reasonable.
Moreover, apart from this explanation, she couldn’t find any other reasonable explanation either.
"So, only by killing the big monster will these small monsters disappear?" Xi Qianxue asked.
"Yes!" Mu Qingge nodded and said, "To end everything, you must kill the big monster. As I mentioned earlier, because the big monster split the small monsters, the main body no longer has the ability to resist. So every time it acts, it hides among the small monsters, issuing attack orders while protecting itself well."
"But... even if we know how to destroy them, with so many small monsters in the way, it’s difficult to reach it." Xi Qianxue frowned.
"That’s precisely the big monster’s confidence. It feels safe being protected by the small monsters, but..." Mu Qingge’s heart chimed with cold laughter, ’such a tall target is just a sitting duck for a sniper, who can eliminate it despite the small monsters.’
Then, she smiled slightly.
In this Otherworld, the only person capable of having a sniper is probably her.
"But what?" Xi Qianxue asked curiously.
Mu Qingge reined in her wandering thoughts, adjusted her words, and said to Xi Qianxue, "But if there is a Divine Archer who is confident in hitting the big monster’s head from afar, then what is there to fear?"
Xi Qianxue’s eyes lit up, revealing a joyful smile. "Exactly! As long as there’s long-range attack, there’s a chance to kill the big monster."
"Of course, it won’t be that simple." Mu Qingge reminded, "First, the Divine Archer’s effective range has to be far enough. Besides, he must be able to withstand the interference of mental attacks."
"That’s right." Xi Qianxue’s smile faded, her brow furrowed.
Mu Qingge observed her contemplative expression and smiled faintly. She was merely offering a tactical plan; it’s enough to clarify the idea. How could a Divine Archer compare to her sharpshooter?
Not mentioning the range, but the power likely couldn’t match her specially crafted sniper rifle.
"There’s another way," Mu Qingge spoke up.
Xi Qianxue looked up curiously, listening attentively.
"In team combat, generally speaking, team size can be determined according to the number of small monsters. The secondary attackers lure and cover, while the main attackers sneak closer to directly kill the king." Mu Qingge proposed another method to deal with these monsters.
Previously feeling helpless was due to a lack of understanding about such creatures.
Now, as Mu Qingge gradually unveiled their mystery, they weren’t as terrifying, and as the understanding deepens, more ways to kill them would emerge.
Xi Qianxue silently remembered every word Mu Qingge said, not knowing why she felt the need to. After leaving the Ancient Battlefield, she might never encounter such creatures again, but she felt noting it down was correct.
"Let’s go." Mu Qingge put away the Linglong Spear and said to Xi Qianxue.
Xi Qianxue nodded, "Alright."
The two continued forward, and Xi Qianxue asked, "Are we going to join Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingge shook her head, "We’re going to find those monsters."
"Find those monsters!" Xi Qianxue was startled. She thought to herself, ’Is it not enough for her, does she want to continue killing monsters now?’
"Maybe Wei Molili can be saved." Mu Qingge said casually.
"What did you say?" Xi Qianxue got excited and moved in front of her, blocking her path. She couldn’t help but be thrilled. The small monsters’ attack methods, especially their mental attacks, were the most frustrating and terrifying, and no one wanted to end up like Wei Molili. If Mu Qingge truly found a way to solve Wei Molili’s problem, then their fears when facing these monsters would be groundless.
Mu Qingge looked at her and said, "It’s just an idea, not sure if it’s feasible. So now, we’re going to find those monsters to confirm it."
"Hmm." Xi Qianxue nodded heavily.
Yet her gaze dimmed suddenly.
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow in confusion as Xi Qianxue spoke with some dejection, "Following you seems to not serve any purpose; instead, I feel like a burden."
Mu Qingge’s prowess had been clearly seen by her just now.
Although Mu Qingge mentioned two methods to deal with monsters earlier, to her, they were unnecessary. She could single-handedly eliminate all monsters.
Such discrepancy...
Xi Qianxue’s mouth showed a trace of a bitter smile; she came here to hone herself, yet everywhere she went, she needed protection.
"Don’t overthink, your presence is not useless," Mu Qingge said.
Xi Qianxue slowly shook her head, "My strength is still too weak. If I hadn’t met you here, I might have been dead by now."
"I wasn’t comforting you just now." Mu Qingge looked seriously at her. She was speaking the truth. Xi Qianxue might lack Combat Power, but she disclosed many secrets about the Divine Hall, allowing her to learn many things she hadn’t known before, resolving many doubts she had harbored for a long time.
Moreover, on the journey, she had been doing whatever she could and was not entirely dependent on others.
"Without you and Ying Ze testing yourselves, I wouldn’t have identified the weaknesses of the little monsters so quickly." Mu Qingge said.
In every team, not everyone can be heroes, and each team’s soul figures don’t become so purely based on their strength.
Xi Qianxue looked into her eyes, which were clear and sincere, without any pretense or falsehood.
Finally, she smiled faintly. "Alright, I won’t speak ill of myself anymore. But on the next journey, if you need me to do anything, don’t hesitate. No matter how dangerous it is, I’m not afraid."
"Alright." Mu Qingge agreed.
Having relieved Xi Qianxue’s doubts, the two continued forward. This time, their goal was clear—to find those green-skinned monsters or their kind that had embarrassed them before!
