Kane took a puff of cigarette, knocked his pipe on the armrest of the chair, and motioned for Xue Hua to speak directly.
"Well...it's about this guy's ability and appearance..."
Xue Hua then described to Kane in detail what he saw from the Supervisory King Insect's vision, what happened when Cui Ji transformed into a purple poisonous python during the battle, and how he took off the mask and saw the left half of her face after the battle.
once.
After listening to what Xue Hua said, Kane thought about it for a while, then took a puff of cigarette, and memories filled his eyes.
"Such things do exist, but they are rare."
"Oh? What are you talking about?"
"The physical abnormalities that appear on mercenaries, as well as powerful abilities that are not like mercenary skills."
"Has this kind of thing happened before?"
"Yes, but rarely, because this can be regarded as a small mistake made by the professional sacred contract."
Kane shook his head and continued: "In the early years, around the time when the hell army was about to be repelled, such a mage mercenary was born in a small town in the Khanduras region.
He is proficient in frost spells and has a total of eight frost skills, but one arm turned into a transparent ice crystal after receiving the inauguration ceremony.
Later, because of this arm, the mage traveled around to find a solution, and finally found the reason in Xiansai, the mage's holy land in the far north.
His situation is because his talent's extreme sensitivity to frost energy masks his perception of other energies, causing the Holy Covenant to misjudge his situation during the inauguration ceremony, preventing him from successfully being inaugurated as a professional mage.
.
However, because of his own super talent, the Holy Deed poured into him more energy than the upper limit of the mercenary class when instilling power into him. In the end, his own power system developed abnormally, and he not only acquired seven conventional ice mage skills.
, and also obtained a mutant ice skill that is beyond the ordinary.
This series of abnormalities caused his body to mutate. In order to protect him from being exploded by too much energy, the Holy Covenant could only convert a certain part of his body into the same elemental energy so that he could withstand these extra energy.
There’s energy.”
"I see, is it because of talent? In this way, the changes in Cuiji should also be caused by this. All the active offensive skills she possesses are poison-based without exception, even the changed one
The giant snake also carries corrosive poison..."
Xue Hua nodded, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"This situation is extremely rare. Even if the average person's talent for perceiving various energies is slightly different, it will not be so outrageous. Such people are rare to encounter in hundreds of years."
"It feels a bit like a genetic mutation..." Hearing Kane's emphasis, Xue Hua muttered in a low voice, but the Queen of Xiange, who had a sharp ear and eyes, heard it all.
"What did you say? What does genetic mutation mean?"
"Um...it's nothing, I was just thinking about it, ahem...but today I saw that the woman didn't seem to be able to turn into that kind of giant snake for a long time. She only lasted for a short while and was already unable to hold on.
It feels like staying.”
Xue Hua quickly muttered a few words and then changed the topic. If he really wanted him to explain what "genetic mutation" was to the Queen of the Amazon clan, who had no basis in biology at all, it would be better for him to go directly to the Storm Goddess for a fight.
"Of course, the same goes for the mage back then. The powerful mutation skill he acquired was even more exaggerated. It could turn an area as big as a small town into a world of ice and snow in a short period of time.
But he also cannot support this skill for a long time. Ten minutes at most is already the limit.
After all, this kind of mutation skill already involves some of the 'original', how can a person who has never even owned the prototype of the original be able to support the mana consumption of such a skill?"
Kane nodded and answered matter-of-factly.
"In this case, can't we just let Anne and Funya delay tomorrow?"
"This won't work. The teleportation arrays that release monsters in the four-group capture-the-flag competition were set up to prevent someone from deliberately delaying time. If the time is delayed for too long, there may be some participants in the teleportation array who have no choice but to do anything.
If you have to deal with such monsters, then all participants will have no chance of passing the trial."
Sarah shook her head and rejected Xue Hua's proposal.
Xue Hua thought the same thing. If delaying time can solve the problem, then if the final players who enter the competition are all members of the same team, the challenge will be meaningless.
While several people were thinking hard about how to deal with Twiggy's threat, Kane suddenly shook his head and laughed.
He put the pipe on the table and knocked it gently twice before saying to the two of them: "Actually, this is not difficult. The purpose of the so-called 'Four Groups Capture the Flag Competition' is just to test the participants' abilities in a limited space and
The ability to achieve mission goals under the interference of a large number of enemies. In this challenge, everyone is in a team of two, which means that people in the same group need to trust each other enough.
Anne and Funya are twin sisters, so there is no problem at this point. The members of the other two groups are from the same team, so I believe there will be no problem with the trust between them.
But this became a key issue for Twiggy. Her companion had already been eliminated in the second challenge, so she would inevitably be randomly assigned a companion in the third challenge.
This companion must be a member of another team, and there will definitely be no mutual trust between her and Triggie..."
A smile appeared on Kane's face, he took a sip from his pipe and blew out a large stream of blue smoke.
"I see. As a result, there will be an urgent problem to be solved between Twiggy and her randomly assigned companions, and that is who will be the 'flag bearer'."
Sarah slapped her palm and quickly understood the meaning of Kane's words.
After she made it clear, Xue Hua also came back to his senses.
After all, the purpose of the promotion ceremony is to challenge rather than kill enemies. Before, they had been thinking about how to help the sisters deal with Cui Ji, a powerful opponent, but they failed to notice such a simple and easy truth.
If Cui Ji carries the battle flag on her back, her movement speed will be suppressed to an extremely low level, and she will lose the actual threat. Even if the battle flag allows her to have a teleportation advantage, this advantage will not apply to the other three
There are also flag bearers.
In this way, Funia and Annie will once again become the strongest players in the field due to their tacit cooperation, and Trich will lose the ability to dominate the game.
And if Chui Ji lets her random companion become the flag bearer, since there has never been a basis for cooperation and mutual trust between the two, the cooperation between the two may be full of loopholes.
Coupled with Cui Ji's gloomy and surly personality, even if her teammates are willing to fully cooperate with her, they may not be able to keep up with her.
At that time, all it takes is for the flag bearer of the two sisters to use teleportation for a little support, and the other one can bypass Twiggy and directly attack her fellow flag bearer.
And the most important thing is that Cui Ji's strength will definitely make the other two teams wary. When the time comes, the chance that the three teams will besiege her together will be very high! (To be continued)
