Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The queen bee struggled to move her six legs. Her body was probably less than two meters long, but her tail and abdomen were too big, while her chest and head were very small. Overall, she looked disproportionate and deformed, which made it difficult for her to move.

Two pairs of transparent membranous wings were tightly folded behind her, but Wang Yi doubted whether these membranous wings could actually carry the queen bee into the air.

Wang Yi climbed out of the deep pit, bent slightly, and cautiously chased after the queen bee.

Wang Yi became increasingly interested in the magic possessed by this queen bee.

Perhaps realizing that escape was impossible, the queen bee stopped her futile crawling, hissed, and unleashed her domain magic once more, releasing a mental shockwave that frantically attacked Wang Yi's consciousness and thoughts.

Because Wang Yi and the Queen Bee were very close at this moment, although the Queen Bee could not completely control Wang Yi's consciousness, the effect of the mental impact was doubled, so much so that Wang Yi couldn't help but scream in pain and squat down with his head in his hands.

Unfortunately, it had no other effect. Even though Wang Yi was powerless to resist, the Queen Bee was unable to break through Wang Yi's dragon scales.

Moreover, if the Queen Bee's mind control could work on Wang Yi, she wouldn't be in this predicament now.

The three high-level magical beasts that were originally guarding it have all been killed by Wang Yi. Only death awaits it.

A few seconds later, after Wang Yi had adjusted to the headache from the mental attack, he suddenly raised his head, his golden vertical pupils filled with cruelty as he stared at the Queen Bee's body.

Wiping away the blood that had spilled from his mouth and nose, Wang Yi pushed off with both legs and lunged fiercely at the queen bee.

After rushing to the queen bee's side in a few steps, Wang Yi opened his dragon claws and grabbed the queen bee's head. Ignoring the queen bee's mandibles tearing and cutting at the dragon scales, he used a little force to rip the queen bee's head off its body.

The queen bee's life flame is very powerful, but her physical body is extremely weak, probably not even as strong as some mid-level magical beasts.

As soon as the mental shock stopped, Wang Yi felt his mind clear and the surroundings were quieter than ever before, making him feel incredibly relaxed.

After sitting cross-legged on the ground and resting for a while, Wang Yi lifted the queen bee's head and dug out its magic crystal.

Then the magic belonging to the queen bee appeared in Wang Yi's mind.

Psychic Shock [Legend]: Causes a shock to the mind of a conscious life form (cannot be absorbed).

Parasite [Legend]: When it resides within the brain tissue of a living organism, it can control the organism's behavior (temporarily unabsorbable).

Armor-Piercing Tail Spikes [Legendary]: Grows tail spikes that can penetrate armor (temporarily unabsorbable).

Son of the Queen Bee [Legendary] [Passive] Accepts the Queen Bee's commands regardless of distance (cannot be absorbed for now)

These four spells, aside from being all legendary-grade, were exactly the same as the magical beast that had just parasitized the blue-armored scorpion's head.

However, given the size of the queen bee, it would be difficult for her to parasitize the heads of some magical beasts, unless some magical beast has a head that is seven or eight meters long.

Parasitism is not replacement. Without enough space, even if you take out all of a Warcraft's brains, it probably wouldn't survive.

Wang Yi continued reading, and the next magic was the Queen Bee's divine skill, making Wang Yi's eyelids twitch and his heart pound wildly.

[Legendary] Mind Domain: Suppresses the autonomous consciousness of all life forms within its range, controlling them to make decisions that do not violate their life instincts (temporarily unabsorbable).

This magic alone made Wang Yi excitedly clench the dragon claw.

It cannot be absorbed for the time being, which means that once Wang Yi becomes a high-level mage, he will be able to successfully absorb this mental domain magic.

Suppressing and controlling consciousness—in the system's judgment, it doesn't even belong to offensive magic?

What does it mean to not go against one's life instincts? Does it mean being unable to control whether the other person commits suicide directly or indirectly?

No wonder Dai Lan, when she was being controlled and in Wang Yi's arms, didn't immediately unleash various large-scale attack spells to cover Wang Yi. Because if she did that, she herself wouldn't survive the attack, which goes against her life instinct.

The only weakness of this magic is that it can only suppress and control the other person's consciousness within the domain. Once the domain is released, the control disappears, and it does not permanently change a person's consciousness.

This is good news; once Dai Lan wakes up, she shouldn't be too affected.

Well, apart from breaking a few bones.

Life Perception [Legend]: Perceives life forms within a certain range (temporarily unabsorbable).

It was an ordinary reconnaissance magic, and Wang Yi already possessed life perception, albeit only at the divine level.

Life Force Absorption [Legendary] [Exclusive] [Passive] Consuming fresh living beings grants the user a certain amount of their life force (cannot be absorbed temporarily).

This magic explains why the queen bee has even more vitality than Wang Yi; it turns out she got it all through her own abilities.

Secondary Life [Legendary] [Exclusive]: Based on its own rank, the user consumes its own life force and mana to create a secondary life. Secondary life cannot advance. Each secondary life possesses a certain amount of its own mana. The total number of secondary life forms depends on the user's rank. After creating a secondary life, the user enters a period of weakness (temporarily unabsorbable).

The Lord of the Hive [Legendary] [Exclusive] possesses absolute control over the secondary life forms it creates, and can issue commands to these secondary life forms regardless of distance (cannot be absorbed for the time being).

Seeing these two spells, Wang Yi finally understood the origin of the Queen Bee's name.

Therefore, the mid-level magical beasts parasitizing the heads of the Blue Armored Scorpion and the Barefoot Black Armored Centipede are magical beasts created by the Queen Bee's own vitality and magic power, and not naturally conceived or produced.

It seems that this queen bee was also unlucky. If we include the Gold-Eating Locust, the queen bee worked diligently and created a total of four secondary life parasitic bees. She worked for who knows how many years before she was able to parasitize and control four mid-level magical beasts with the potential to advance, and painstakingly nurtured them into high-level magical beasts.

Logically speaking, on the Minshan Insect Bridge, which is inaccessible to high-level magical beasts, the queen bee with her domain of thought, along with several high-level magical beasts guarding her side, should be in an invincible state.

Unfortunately, they ran into Wang Yi, an unreasonable guy.

Faced with these two spells, Wang Yi was somewhat tempted, but he wondered what the secondary life form he would create would look like if he absorbed them.

It couldn't be a person, could it?

Although it is a life created by magic, it is still quite strange that a human was created from it.

The last spell is a divine spell with all four attributes.

Fixed Mindset [Legendary] [Exclusive] [Trait] [Passive] Immune to invasion and control of thought and consciousness (can be absorbed).

The magic's effect was complete immunity to thought invasion, which made Wang Yi subconsciously think of that legendary sacred beast.

The sacred beast that invaded Lin Qingyu's mind and orchestrated the Battle of Liyuan was none other than a human mage controlled by mind invasion.

And this magic is immune to mind invasion, so wouldn't it be a perfect counter to that mental-type sacred beast?

Or perhaps, this queen bee and the sacred beast that has yet to appear are of the same species?
