Chapter 255 Search and Fight
I followed Jack and Levon Mills and flew for a distance in this strange world where gravity was upside down and the ground was a sea of clouds.
Jieming soon saw a dozen figures floating in the air in front of him from a distance.
He recognized them at a glance. These people were the other members of Jack's team whom he had met before at the intersection square.
But at this time, these people were floating quietly in place, each at a distance from each other.
Some of them closed their eyes and concentrated, as if they were being remotely controlled in some way.
Some of them had their eyes open, but their eyes were empty, and it was obvious that their main attention was not here.
After a long time, one of the wizards, who looked very fat, slowly opened his eyes.
His small eyes were filled with unconcealable loss.
He sighed heavily, and then he noticed that Jack and his companions had come over, and behind them were new wizards such as Jermyn.
"Jack, you're back." The fat wizard greeted Jack weakly.
Then he glanced at the number of wizards standing behind Jack, and a look of obvious disappointment also appeared on his face:
“Why are there only so few people?”
"Under the current circumstances, it's already good enough to find people willing to cooperate..." Jack spread his hands helplessly.
"...That's right." The fat wizard thought about the situation outside and said nothing more.
After chatting with the fat wizard, Jack looked at the new wizard behind him and said in a deep voice, "Get ready to work."
The fat wizard didn't say much and nodded silently.
His exposed skin suddenly began to wriggle violently like water waves!
Then, a small ball of flesh and blood, about the size of a bean, separated from his huge body on its own, just like plasticine that was kneaded off by someone.
Then, in the astonished eyes of the crowd, the wriggling mass of flesh and blood quickly deformed and stretched, turning into a hideous creature that looked like an enlarged version of a "mosquito".
In just a blink of an eye, the fat wizard created a large swarm of "mosquitoes" around him!
His already plump body looked noticeably smaller after so much flesh and blood was separated.
Under the control of the fat wizard, these buzzing "mosquitoes" quickly divided into twelve groups of different sizes and flew in front of the wizards.
When Jack was recruiting, he had already explained the specific process of the mission to everyone, so the others present didn't say much.
Each of them faced the "mosquitoes" that flew in front of them, mobilized their mental power, and signed soul contracts with them one by one.
The group of "mosquitoes" in front of Benjamin was the largest, more than the "mosquitoes" in front of the other eleven first-level wizards' "colleagues" combined.
He could only calm down and mobilize his mental power that far exceeded that of his peers, and let his mental tentacles penetrate them one by one like weaving a net.
This type of reconnaissance-type biochemically modified beast is different from the ordinary cannon fodder units used to charge into battle.
For ordinary cannon fodder units, as long as they sign the most basic contract and can be guaranteed to be remotely controlled, it will be fine.
However, in order for this kind of sophisticated reconnaissance biochemically modified beast to be able to transmit the detected images and information back in a timely and lossless manner, it needs to sign a deeper soul contract.
Although this contract can be terminated at any time after the mission is completed, if you are unlucky, the creatures that have signed the contract with you will be killed before the contract is terminated.
Then, the soul shock caused by its death will still have a certain impact on the wizard's mental power.
If too many died at once, it could even cause permanent damage to the wizard's soul.
With such a fatal flaw, only those specialized, soul-tough "reconnaissance" wizards could do this.
Otherwise, most ordinary wizards would generally choose to use the safer and more convenient "detective magic".
However, the advantages of this method are also obvious, that is, it can greatly increase the wizard's reconnaissance range, and the intelligence and information obtained are more accurate.
After seeing that everyone had signed the mosquito swarm contract, Levin Mills nodded and said, "We have already searched the surrounding area. So, we need everyone to move forward and conduct the next round of search."
The wizards nodded silently.
The experienced Jack took a step forward and left a small metal ball that was gleaming faintly on the spot as a reference for his subsequent return.
Seeing this, the other hired wizards also used their own methods to leave their own coordinate points on the spot.
Benjamin also raised his hand and flicked it, and a "glimmer of light" that was almost invisible to the naked eye flew out silently and instantly disappeared in the clouds under his feet.
Feeling the solid connection established between this "Eye of Glimmer" and the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, Benjamin nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at Levin Mills and the others who had already started to act, with a slightly puzzled expression: "It's starting already?"
He frowned, said nothing more, and followed Levin Mills.
Under Levin Mills' arrangement, Jack's team and new wizards such as Jermyn began to gradually disperse.
Depending on the number of "mosquitoes" in their respective contracts, they formed a huge fan-shaped collective flight within a safe range of tens to hundreds of kilometers, scattering the "mosquitoes" with whom they had signed contracts like dandelion seeds.
Everyone conducts a careful net-like search of the cone-shaped area in front of them.
The search process is actually very boring.
The scenery here is shockingly monotonous and there is not much variation.
Occasionally you'll encounter some bizarre creatures that have spontaneously emerged in this area.
The attacks they launched became "toys" to relieve boredom during the search.
As Benjamin was flying forward, he suddenly discovered through the vision shared by a "mosquito" flying in the front that in the distance he vaguely discovered that there was a group of extremely fast creatures flying straight towards him!
Those creatures are extremely fast.
Judging from the sonic boom clouds they leave behind, their speed has easily surpassed the speed of sound!
Because the speed was so fast, Benjamin couldn't even see the mosquitoes clearly.
One could just barely make out that every inch of those creatures was very streamlined, as if they were living white cannonballs flying at high speed in the air!
Two minutes later, when those creatures entered his regular reconnaissance range, Benjamin was able to clearly see the specific figures of those creatures with his extraordinary eyesight.
After a quick calculation based on his own reconnaissance range and the enemy's approaching speed, Benjamin was surprised to find that the average speed of these creatures had easily exceeded three times the speed of sound!
Fortunately, the moment Benjamin discovered them, he activated the "acceleration" talisman magic weapon in advance.
By relying on "acceleration", his nerve reaction speed was greatly improved, so that he would not be unable to see the other person's figure clearly like before.
Looking at the rapidly approaching group of creatures, the other party showed no intention of slowing down. There was no doubt that it would not feel good if they were hit by these things.
He stretched out his finger and aimed it at the creatures that were attacking at high speed from a distance.
Benjamin tentatively fired a fireball that was compressed several times.
The fireball grew in the wind the moment it left Benjamin's fingertips.
The fireball, which was originally only the size of a fist, expanded into a "little sun" with a diameter of more than 100 meters and burning with red flames after flying hundreds of meters!
It cut through the sky at a speed faster than those creatures, dragging a long red tail of flame in the air.
Finally, when the two sides were about to come into contact, there was a loud explosion!
Boom!!!
A terrifying force exploded!
In the air where the two sides collided, a huge rolling fireball with a diameter of more than a kilometer was formed!
Infinite light and heat are released at this moment!
It even evaporated the surrounding clouds and mist instantly, forming a short-lived "vacuum" zone!
This is the true destructive power of a normal second-level wizard.
Its power was enough to easily destroy a village or town from Jemin's previous life.
And it’s not the kind of destruction that only kills living things, but the real destruction that completely razes an area including the land and buildings to the ground!
Suddenly attacked head-on, these high-speed flying creatures suffered heavy casualties.
However, there were still a few creatures at the head of the team, whose strength had reached the peak of level two. With their sturdy shells and strong vitality, they survived the aftermath of the explosion and were still able to move.
Seeing that they just adjusted their posture slightly, they rushed towards him again at a faster speed.
Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
"This is really a bit troublesome. I can't use 'matter manipulation' magic and 'force field' magic. It's not easy to capture these things alive without killing them."
After thinking about it, Benjamin glanced at the talismanic magic weapon on his wrist and did not choose to use these things.
Instead, he raised his fingers again and began to gather elemental power at his fingertips.
The two sides fought for a while.
In the end, Benjamin used his own destructive witchcraft to control the power and seriously injured these creatures that were like "living missiles" one after another.
Only after making them unable to move can they be captured successfully.
At the same time, Benjamin was also keenly aware of the various violent energy fluctuations coming from afar.
It seems that other wizards have also been attacked by enemies like him.
"However, since no one has asked for help in the team channel, there's no need to worry for now."
Thinking of this, Benjamin did not stop and continued to explore further ahead.
