Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The Gold-Eating Locust is an extremely brute beast, relying entirely on its indestructible exoskeleton and overwhelming power to dominate the world of magical beasts.

The intermediate-level Gold-Eating Locust is two meters long, and it can reach three meters after advancing to the advanced level. They only have one magic, which is the Gold-Transforming Body. This magic can further strengthen the Gold-Eating Locust's already sturdy exoskeleton.

However, the Gold-Eating Locust is definitely not a mental-type magical beast.

So when Yue Wencheng said that the Gold-Eating Locusts could launch mental attacks, Yu Xing and Gu Bei's first reaction was that it was impossible.

This is clearly illogical.

However, Yue Wencheng was also an experienced elite squad leader, so it was impossible for him to make such a mistake. Moreover, judging from Yue Wencheng's condition, he had no external injuries, but he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, listless, and confused, which was consistent with the symptoms of a mental magic attack.

After a moment's thought, Yu Xing decided to trust Yue Wencheng.

"These days there are more monsters and demons in Warcraft, it's really weird." Yu Xing cursed under his breath, then pulled Gu Bei, who had fallen to the ground, up with all his might: "Gu, hurry up, get to work before you're exhausted. First, take these two away from the battlefield."

At this moment, Meng Lixin also flew over with the medical mage from Yue Wencheng's team, ready to provide emergency treatment to the wounded, but Yu Xing stopped them: "Don't bother, these two have been mentally attacked, let them rest."

Currently, medical magic is primarily used to treat physical injuries; it is not yet capable of treating mental injuries.

After saying that, Yu Xing turned to Meng Lixin and said, "Senior Meng, this Gold-Eating Locust can use mental attack magic. Please inform it and make sure to keep a safe distance. By the way, Senior, do you know mental attacks?"

Meng Lixin shook his head. Although mental attack magic has the weaknesses of a relatively small range and high consumption, it also has the advantages of being difficult to detect and difficult to defend against. Moreover, compared with the advantages, the two disadvantages are not disadvantages at all.

The only drawback is that it's difficult to absorb.

There were two mental mages present, Yu Xing and Meng Lixin, but neither of them absorbed any mental attack magic.

"Even without mental attacks, it's the same. It's a useless piece of trash without wings. Restrict its movement and control it to death." Yu Xing turned around and took a step forward. The Gold-Eating Locust, which had just bitten off the halberd on its body, suddenly had a dark and sharp rock spike rise from its body, accurately pressing against the exposed half of the halberd.

As he pierced the abdomen of the Gold-Eating Locust with the broken halberd, he also knocked the locust's body away.

Meng Lixin, who was standing to the side, immediately understood Yu Xing's tactics and used telepathy to say to Hu Jin in the distance: "Remove the Mountain Seal and launch him into the air."

The Gold-Eating Locust's wings have been burned beyond repair. As long as it doesn't touch the ground and has no foothold, even its strongest hind legs can't move freely on the air.

Although Hu Jin was arrogant, he did not act recklessly in this situation and obediently released the Mountain Seal of the Gold-Eating Locust.

The Gold-Eating Locust, which had been knocked away, kicked its hind legs hard, flapped its remaining tattered left wing a few times, and barely managed to adjust its body. However, just as it was about to hit the ground, it was once again struck by a rock spike and sent flying into the air.

"Sometimes, you don't necessarily need a wide-range attack to make a spell hit." Yu Xinghao seemed to be strolling leisurely, and every time the Gold-Eating Locust was about to land, a rock spike would pierce through its six legs and accurately hit the wound in its abdomen.

The angle and force had already been calculated to ensure the gold-devouring locust had the maximum possible time in the air.

At the same time, Yu Xing was also re-condensing the Armor-Piercing Rock Spear. This extremely powerful single-target attack magic was originally in the form of a spear, but after seeing the video of Wang Yi wildly wielding a halberd during the spatial rift incident, Yu Xing happily stole the image and changed the Armor-Piercing Rock Spear into the shape of a halberd.

"Single-target attacks, be careful not to knock it back, don't give it any leverage, and don't get too close. Be careful of mental attacks." Meng Lixin briefly explained the key points to Hu Jin.

True hexagonal monsters are very rare. Monsters without ranged attacks are not difficult to kill if you find the right method. There is no such thing as a truly indestructible monster.

Hu Jin looked at Yu Xingxiu with some awkwardness. With a simple rock spike spell, he was able to strongly control the high-level Gold-Eating Locust. Although it was mainly because he had burned off the Gold-Eating Locust's wings first, this kind of precise magical control and accurate trajectory prediction made Hu Jin, who was used to big, sweeping attacks and spreading fire domains all over the field, look like a brute.

Despite his reluctance, Hu Jin still had to kill the monster. He re-condensed his most skilled fire python into a slender fire dragon, continuously compressing its body to its limit before rapidly moving and attaching itself to the body of the Gold-Eating Locust.

If the Gold-Eating Locust's exoskeleton was extremely sturdy before, and its resistance to attack magic was several times higher after releasing its golden body, now a wound has been opened in its abdomen, allowing Hu Jin to find this weakness.

The fire dragon wrapped itself around the gold-devouring locust twice, then plunged into the wound on its abdomen, wriggling deeper and deeper.

If it's difficult to break through from the outside, then dismantle it from within.

The flames seared its flesh, and the Gold-Eating Locust immediately began to struggle in agony. Yu Xing seized the opportunity and used the Armor-Piercing Rock Spear to pierce its abdomen completely, widening the wound once again.

Before long, the lower half of the Gold-Eating Locust's flesh was burned to ashes, leaving only its exoskeleton shell lying on the ground, completely unable to move.

Just as Hu Jin was about to step forward to dig for the magic crystal, a row of rock spikes suddenly shot out in front of him, blocking his way like a city wall.

"Yu Xing, what do you mean?" Hu Jin said, his neck stiff. "I admit that you made some contributions to killing the Gold-Eating Locust, but I was the one who discovered the Gold-Eating Locust, I was the one who burned its wings, and I was the one who killed it in the end. I'll give you at most one-third of the magic crystals."

Of course, magic crystals cannot be divided. The magic crystals that Hu Jin mentioned represent the merits of killing high-level magical beasts and reclaiming the Minshan Insect Bridge.

Although Hu Jin didn't care about the rewards from the Candlelight Army, the title of being the first to achieve merit was prestigious enough.

"There's no rush to claim credit, but the Gold-Eating Locust isn't quite dead yet." In Yu Xing's magical perception, there was still a weak but still clear mass of magical energy at the location of the Gold-Eating Locust.

When a monster dies, it's like a burst balloon; the magic within it goes out of control and simply dissipates into the surrounding environment.

However, the Gold-Eating Locust still retains some magic, which is quite intriguing.

"Not quite dead?" Hu Jin was incredulous. His flesh and blood had been burned away, how could he not be dead?

What does that mean? The exoskeleton is the real body?

"Don't believe me? Then go dig for magic crystals, but I advise you to bring two layers of protection," Yu Xing reminded him.

Hu Jin's gaze shifted back and forth between the corpse of the Gold-Eating Locust and Yu Xing several times. He first threw several more attack spells at the corpse of the Gold-Eating Locust, and after finding no reaction, he put on the Ice Lion Armor and the Azure Ring, opened the Void Realm, took out a short blade, and cautiously approached.

If it weren't for the Gold-Eating Locust's incredibly sturdy exoskeleton, Hu Jin would have liked to burn it to ashes and then rummage through the ashes for magic crystals.
