“I have a suggestion,” Zhou Guang popped his head out and proposed, “I have studied our abilities and we can definitely do a combo. I have earth-based abilities, so I can create defensive traps on the ground in the early stage, and Liang Xi can provide us with energy support from behind.”
“Xia Chi and Li Cancan are the main attackers,” Zhou Guang paused for two seconds and turned to Bai Lixin, “I don’t know much about your mind control abilities since we haven’t trained together. But based on our first battle, you should be able to control these zombies by eye contact, although there are obvious limitations.”
“However, I speculate that eye to eye control is only the initial ability.”
“After training for a whole day, we discovered a new aspect of our abilities. Since the crystal nucleus controls the xomabies rather than their brains, I deduce that Bai Lixin’s ability should be directed at those crystals. Perhaps in future battles, Bai Lixin can directly control the crystals without eye contact.”
Bai Lixin nodded, “Yes, I experimented later and found that my abilities not only allow me to control the opponent, but also perceive the surrounding situation. In the later stages, I should be able to do it without eye contact.”
His looked at Zhou Guang with some appreciation.
With the affirmative reply, Zhou Guang continued, “I have done some research, abilities related to the mind and healing are extremely rare. I suggest that we entrust most of the nutrient solution to Liang Xi. As long as his abilities are sufficient, he can continuously restore our abilities. To fully restore our abilities, we need to drink a vial of nutrient solution, but Liang Xi’s abilities can restore individual abilities.”
Xia Chi exclaimed, “Wow, Liang Xi, you’re like a perpetual motion machine!”
Liang Xi blushed slightly.
Several members on Song Yuantian’s side looked towards their leader.
As good as Zhou Guang’s words sounded, he was still an outsider. They followed Song Yuantian into this, so they needed Song Yuantian’s arrangements on how to proceed.
After contemplating for two seconds, Song Yuantian nodded, “Alright, let’s give it a try.”
The nutrient solution they had was limited, so for safety reasons, each person kept three vials for themselves, while the rest were handed over to Liang Xi.
Liang Xi was somewhat surprised by the favor but still accepted it.
They were on the battlefield now, it was not a time for modesty.
Zhou Guang once again gave some advice to the group, “One person monitoring nine others may be a bit stretched, and since this is our first cooperation, there will inevitably be a period of adjustment. Liang Xi’s can only treat one at a time, so my suggestion is to continue healing, but reserve at least one-third of your abilities. If anyone’s abilities are depleted in an instant, they can be rescued on the spot.”
“Also, don’t rely solely on Liang Xi for all the recovery, and make sure to replenish your abilities by drinking the nutrient solution.”
“I’ll say it again, this is our first team cooperation, and there will certainly be some friction. I hope everyone understands.”
Xia Chi had no problem with this, as they were old partners. The main concern was Song Yuantian and his team.
Song Yuantian and his teammates exchanged a few glances and nodded in agreement, understanding each other without words, “Okay.”
Sally stood on a high stone block overlooking the battlefield, hearing all the conversations clearly.
He pondered for a few seconds, then glanced meaningfully at the orderly group of people who had started to take action.
He didn’t say anything. It was only when considering the overall situation that his gaze focused on the positions on this group.
Liang Xi, as the team’s healer, was protected behind the team. Bai Lixin wanted to test the extent of his abilities, so he didn’t rush forward but stood by Liang Xi’s side.
He observed the actions of the front line from behind. Zhou Guang was calmly setting up traps on the ground and creating walls to protect them. Li Cancan and Xia Chi’s attacking movements were fluid, with no hesitation or unnecessary actions. As for Song Yuantian’s team, their experienced background was evident in every move they made.
Liang Xi also demonstrated his broad perspective as a healer. Faced with eight people in need of treatment, he replenished their abilities methodically, not showing any signs of being overwhelmed by the number.
Bai Lixin felt relieved and tried closing his eyes to activate his abilities.
He slowly recalled the feeling of his abilities when he was tracking Blonde Hair and his companion that day, and in no time, a twisting red thread appeared in the darkness before his eyes.
Without rushing to disperse the red thread, Bai Lixin continued to focus his abilities, and the single red thread in front of him split into two, then four, and four turned into eight…
In an instant, the red thread in front of him turned into a dense cluster of a hundred threads.
He stopped splitting the threads when he couldn’t divide them further, and controlled these abilities to radiate in all directions like a spider’s web.
Wherever the red threads passed, the darkness gradually revealed clear dots. With the approach of the red threads, the dots turned into concrete images.
It wasn’t the physical entities that his eyes saw but the spiritual cores.
In the human figures, there was a cluster of azure flames.
In the zombies, there were only numerous white dots.
He also discovered that both the azure flames and white dots had varying degrees of strength, constantly flickering.
Some azure flames burned fiercely, while others began to show signs of exhaustion, their flames gradually extinguishing.
Suddenly, as if an external force had been injected, the nearly extinguished flame reignited.
Bai Lixin opened his eyes and glanced at the location, noticing that the player had just consumed the nutrient solution.
The azure flames represented the energy of human abilities, so the white dots should be the zombies’ crystals.
With this thought in mind, Bai Lixin closed his eyes again.
Under his conscious control, the red threads in the darkness shot out instantly, piercing through those white dots.
In his ears came the surprised voices of the players, “Huh, why did the zombies suddenly stop moving?”
“Mine too, it suddenly stopped.”
“Same here, did the zombies glitch?”
“No, the others can still move!”
“Forget it, let’s take advantage of this and finish them off! Let’s attack, brothers and sisters!”
Before Bai Lixin’s eyes, the white light dots disappeared one by one. It seemed that the players had taken out the crystals from these zombies.
Suddenly, an inexplicable sensation struck Bai Lixin. He retracted all the crimson threads and opened his eyes, gasping heavily.
As he was about to take out a bottle of nutrient liquid from his backpack, he suddenly felt a comforting warmth. The next second, he regained his strength.
He glanced at the person beside him and said, “Thank you, Liang Xi.”
Liang Xi replied, “It’s my duty, God Xin. Did you cause the zombies to suddenly stop moving?”
Bai Lixin nodded, “Yes.”
Liang Xi never took his eyes off the battlefield in front of him. He skillfully replenished the players’ energy while saying, “I knew it. A hundred zombies stopped at the same time, and you’re abilities suddenly went empty. Who else but you?”
“Thanks to you, the situation on the battlefield is in our favor now, and I can catch my breath.”
“You’re amazing, God Xin. Earlier, Zhou Guang speculated that you could control others without making eye contact, and you actually did it. By the way, Zhou Guang is also impressive. His mind is truly sharp. While others take one step, he takes fifty steps.”
“You’re right. We wouldn’t have reached such a high level in the tower or obtained rare items without Zhou Guang’s planning.”
Bai Lixin smiled, “You’re all outstanding, no need to be modest. You’re quite skilled in healing. Do you often engage in healing?”
Liang Xi casually picked up a bottle of nutrient solution and drank from it. Then he replenished Li Cancan’s abilities. Finally, he nodded and said, “Yes, I obtained a skill called ‘Healing Art’ in a copy. It seems the system adapted my abilities to healing based on my previous skills.”
“Li Cancan’s resistance to attacks isn’t that great, but her accuracy is excellent. She never misses a shot. Zhou Guang suggested she should focus on developing archery skills, and later on, she indeed acquired an S-grade bow item. Just as Zhou Guang predicted, she became incredible after obtaining that bow.”
Bai Lixin asked, “And what about Zhou Guang himself?”
“Zhou Guang is our strategist. Maybe he overuses his brain, so sometimes he hesitates. He later obtained a deck of tarot cards that can predict future fortunes, which helped him with his planning.”
“That’s great,” Bai Lixin sincerely exclaimed, “And what about Xia Chi?”
Zhou Guang hesitated for a moment, then said, “Xia Chi is a bit of a bug. He’s truly lucky, so lucky that it’s inexplicable. And he is physically strong too, with good endurance. Zhou Guang didn’t have any specific suggestions for him, just told him that as long as he takes the initiative, there won’t be any problems.”
“Anyway, his luck is beyond us ordinary people, we can’t even envy it.”
Liang Xi abruptly stopped speaking and turned towards Bai Lixin in embarrassment. “But among over a hundred thousand people, there’s probably only one Xia Chi. Everyone’s luck is not good, to be honest.”
Bai Lixin nodded silently.
‘Well, it’s unfortunate that Xia Chi entered the game and met me.
No matter how lucky he is, he would still be dragged into bugged copies with him.
Surprised or not surprised?
Isn’t this truly an unsolvable situation?’
During the few minutes of rest, Bai Lixin felt that his abilities had fully recovered.
At this moment, Sally’s gaze was quietly glued onto Bai Lixin.
He was not mistaken just now. This seemingly gentle and weak young man took control of a hundred zombies with a single move.
Mental abilities were always hard to guard against. Other abilities could be evaded or detected by strengthening one’s body, but this ability that transcended the physical and directly targeted the depths of the soul could not be overcome even by the strongest defenses.
Mental ability users or zombies could silently kill people during an attack, leaving no trace.
Therefore, in battle, they would usually try to kill zombie with such abilities in advance.
For an ability user like this young man, who could control a hundred zombies was already one of the best among such ability users. It’s no wonder he could match the Transparent Crystal Core.
Indeed, he was talented.
And there was the healer beside him.
Healers were also rare. If a team had both a mental ability user and a healer, their chances of completing missions would often be doubled.
Sally’s gaze swept thoughtfully over the other members of the team, then refocused on the large group.
Bai Lixin closed his eyes again and released the red threads. Based on his previous experiences, he was now proficient in this skill.
However, this time he didn’t intervene to control the zombies but instead gathered the hundred red threads into a rope and began moving over the zombies’ heads.
He couldn’t always interfere in other people’s battles. Real combat was the fastest way to improve one’s abilities. His interference wasn’t helping these players; it was harming them.
The red threads now resembled a winding red serpent, slowly moving forward to explore.
Soon, he discovered a much larger and brighter spot than the others. The white spot was surrounded by dozens of smaller ones, which not only failed to obscure the brightness of the central white dot but also made the surrounding points pale in comparison.
As Bai Lixin approached slowly, he noticed a dense web of threads extending from the central white spot. Since the threads were black, they blended almost seamlessly with the dark background, making them difficult to detect.
Those black threads pervaded the entire battlefield, partly connected to the white spots and partly drifting like tendrils in the air, seemingly sensing the changes on the battlefield.
As the red threads approached, the black threads floating around like underwater plants suddenly stiffened, instantly transforming from soft threads into rigid needles that attacked the red threads.
Bai Lixin furrowed his brow. Had he been discovered?
So these threads not only had the ability to control others and observe the surroundings but also served as a defense mechanism?
In an instant, Bai Lixin split the threads into a hundred strands, using their flexibility to dodge the black threads’ attacks.
He had learned another technique. Since the special zombie on the opposite side could perform this defensive probing, he should be able to do it too.
He would practice it later when he returned.
Failing to capture the ability user, the hundreds of black threads converged, forming a shape resembling a nine-headed serpent.
At the same time, a jarring sound reverberated in Bai Lixin’s mind, followed by a somewhat stumbling voice.
—“I’ve got you now.”
—“Delicious, fresh delicacy!”
The sound was rough, with a gravelly sensation, like a steel knife scraping against rusty iron covered in sand.
Suddenly, s419’s warning sound rang in his mind, [Ding! Warning, intruder detected!]
Bai Lixin: “…”
Damn it, retreat to the high ground.
In Bai Lixin’s mind, a blue screen appeared, displaying a large black thread that loomed outside his crystal core, seemingly intending to take control of it.
The jarring sound resounded again.
–“Do you really think I couldn’t handle you after you succeeded last time? It was because you suddenly rushed at me, catching me off guard.”
–“I am stronger than you. Trash like you can only become my food.”
S419 sounded somewhat anxious, [Lord Host, I can’t hold on for long. Please come back quickly.]
Bai Lixin stared at the black threads relentlessly attacking his crystal core and the white spots in front of him, and calmly said, [I’m not going back. It’s too late to retreat. S419, open all the barriers and help me defend. I’m preparing to launch a direct attack.]
[In this battle, one of us will prevail.]
At this moment, there was no way back, the only defense was to attack.
Having said that, hundreds of red threads launched an attack towards the white spot on the opposite side.
Sure enough, the black threads that had been attacking his crystal core paused for a moment, and even their attacks weakened.
—“Madman, you truly are a madman!”
As the unstoppable red threads were about to penetrate the white spot, the black threads entrenched in the battlefield had no choice but to retract and join forces to resist the red threads.
But in a battle between masters, victory lay in the smallest details.
During the moment the special zombie hesitated, Bai Lixin decisively launched an attack. Almost all of the hundreds of red threads pierced into the white spot.
In the next second, the entire battlefield began to irregularly fluctuate along with the white spot.
The players exclaimed, “What the hell, why are these zombies suddenly attacking each other? Scared the crap out of me.”
“Damn, are these zombies going berserk?”
“Huh, why did their rhythm suddenly become chaotic?”
S419’s voice sounded, [Lord Host, the attack has stopped, the enemy has retreated.]
Bai Lixin let out a long sigh. He slowly opened his eyes and found that the battlefield had become extremely chaotic.
The zombies that were originally fighting in an orderly manner suddenly turned into headless flies, attacking indiscriminately.
At this moment, they couldn’t distinguish between friend and foe.
The players swiftly harvested the spoils amidst the frenzy of rampaging zombies, one after another, eager to take advantage of the situation.
Bai Lixin closed his eyes once again. Through the red threads, he successfully entered the crystal core of the special zombie.
He had a feeling that this was an extreme form of control. With just one request, even if it meant having the other party take out their own crystal core, they would comply.
The jarring sound resounded again, but it no longer carried the previous arrogance.
The voice now carried a resolute resistance, “What are you doing?!”
“I have a suggestion,” Zhou Guang popped his head out and proposed, “I have studied our abilities and we can definitely do a combo. I have earth-based abilities, so I can create defensive traps on the ground in the early stage, and Liang Xi can provide us with energy support from behind.”
