How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Long Dong stood in front of the task board of the Magician's Guild, carefully looking for a task that suited him. Suddenly, he noticed Tang Yu walking hurriedly from a distance, with an anxious look on his face.

Long Dong was puzzled and asked, "President Tang, what happened? You are in such a hurry, is there any emergency?"

When Tang Yu heard Long Dong's voice, he immediately stopped and ran to Long Dong. He panted and said, "Oh no! I just got the news that there are signs of Saint-level monsters in Centipede Ridge! The superiors have ordered the Centipede Ridge mission to be suspended and asked us to investigate the situation before continuing."

Long Dong was shocked, his eyes widened and he asked, "What? A Saint-level monster?"

The system in Long Dong's mind couldn't help but say, "What's so strange about this? It's not the first time a Saint-level monster has appeared. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Long Dong frowned and retorted, "I'm not making a fuss. I'm worried about the safety of my brothers and sisters! I personally sent them to Centipede Ridge to train, not to send them to die. If they encounter danger, won't I regret it for the rest of my life?"

Zheng looked at Long Dong's frustrated expression and consoled him: "Long Dong, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, they chose to accept this mission. And I think you should believe in them. They all have the ability and courage to complete this mission. If you keep protecting them, they may not be able to get real training and growth. And isn't your strong strength obtained after going through countless hardships and dangers?"

Hearing this, Long Dong's eyes flashed with determination, and he nodded and said, "Yeah." He seemed to have come out of his lost mood a little.

Tang Yu smiled and said to Long Dong: "Long Dong, do you want to go with us to take a look?"

Long Dong answered without hesitation: "Okay. President Tang, I'll go with you to take a look."

Tang Yu smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to summon a flying monster. This flying monster looked very majestic, with wings spread out to several meters long, covered with a layer of hard feathers, and claws flashing silver light, giving people a powerful and mysterious feeling.

Tang Yu turned to look at Long Dong and invited him warmly: "Brother Long, please come up! My flying magic beast can take us to our destination quickly."

Long Dong originally planned to summon Taixu to go to Centipede Ridge to check the situation, but considering that he might be separated from Tang Yu and others, he finally decided to give up this idea. After all, if he could go with Tang Yu, he might meet his brothers and sisters, which would save him from searching alone.

Tang Yu's flying magic beast is called Silver Claw Thunder Eagle, which is a ninth-level magic beast. Its advantage lies in its amazing flying speed, which can quickly reach the destination.

At this time, the three major guilds and other people who came to support were riding their own flying monsters and heading towards Centipede Ridge. Although these people's flying speed was not fast, it was enough to catch up with the large army in front.

Not long after, Long Dong and his team successfully caught up with the main force. Zhang Xiaoping and Zhang Xiaomei were standing on a flying ship, waving excitedly at Long Dong.

Zhang Xiaoping: "Brother, where are you going?"

Hearing this, Long Dong quickly teleported to Zhang Xiaoping and explained to him: "I'll go investigate first."

Long Dong repeatedly warned: "Brothers and sisters, you must stay with the main force. Don't act on your own. This is not a joke!"

Facing such a powerful Saint-level monster, the two of them together were not enough to fill the gaps in the opponent's teeth. Zhang Xiaoping and Zhang Xiaomei knew that their strength was limited, and responded in unison: "Understood."

After Long Dong explained the situation to his brother and sister, he immediately returned to Tang Yu. Soon, they gradually moved away from the main force. Anyway, the mission has been suspended now, so they don't have to rush on the road.

Tang Yu and Long Dong soon arrived at a destroyed city. This city was 200 kilometers away from Centipede Ridge. But at this moment, Long Dong and his friends still saw a large number of centipede monsters. There were first- and second-level monsters everywhere. Occasionally, there were third- and fourth-level monsters.

The closer you get to Centipede Ridge, the higher the level of the monsters.

The three guilds had planned to form an elite force to attack Huanglong directly. However, when they arrived at Centipede Ridge, they found that not only were there eighth- and ninth-level monsters everywhere in Centipede Ridge, but there were also a large number of king-level and noble-level monsters.

Although they didn't see any Saint-level monsters, the huge gullies left by the monsters crawling over them proved that there were monsters stronger than the Venerable-level monsters in Centipede Ridge, and they started at the Saint-level.

The city under Long Dong's feet was a livable city that everyone longed for not long ago. However, after the invasion of Warcraft, not only was the city directly destroyed, but also a huge number of people died.

Long Dong stood on a desolate ruin, looking around with shock and confusion in his eyes. The scene he saw was horrifying - everything around him was destroyed beyond recognition, as if it had experienced a devastating disaster. Countless huge centipede monsters were crawling wantonly in the ruins, and their number was too large to count.

Long Dong carefully observed these centipede monsters and found that they seemed to have no specific goal, just wandering around aimlessly. However, what shocked Long Dong was that apart from these centipede monsters, there was no sign of any other life here.

When Long Dong cast his eyes toward the ground, he was surprised to find that every five to ten meters, there was a corpse lying there. These corpses had turned into white bones, and no matter whether they were human or animal, they could not escape the fate of death.

This situation made Long Dong have a terrible guess: Are these centipede monsters slaughtering all life indiscriminately? As long as they are not of the same kind, they will be ruthlessly killed or turned into corpses.

Long Dong looked down at the densely packed and disgusting centipede monsters under his feet, and a strong sense of discomfort surged in his heart. He couldn't help but pinched a fireball and threw it fiercely below. The fireball instantly ignited the centipede monsters on the ground, causing a crackling sound of burning. Long Dong's fireball was so powerful that it burned a large number of centipede monsters into dry shells.

Long Dong originally wanted to study the corpses of the centipedes, but the centipedes did not even let go of their dead companions. Soon, the corpse of the centipede monster was divided and eaten by a group of centipede monsters.

Seeing this, Long Dong used ice magic. A large number of centipede monsters were directly frozen into ice sculptures. Soon, Long Dong easily caught a third-level centipede monster.

Long Dong immediately dismantled the centipede monster. Tang Yu saw Long Dong dismantling the corpse of the centipede monster and came to check it out.

Tang Yu: "Did Long Dong find anything?"

Long Dong: "Yes. President Tang, please call the others over as well."

Everyone gathered around in an instant. Long Dong analyzed it for everyone. The centipede monster has well-developed venom glands, but the venom is not strong. The impact on humans is small. But it is not clear what other effects it has. The centipede monster has poor eyesight, and this third-level monster can only see things within one meter. The centipede monster has a good sense of smell. Long Dong analyzed that the centipede monster may use its sense of smell to chase the enemy.

The centipede monster's shell has average defense and is flammable, so you can use fire to deal with them. The centipede monster's pincers can drill into the ground and attack, so you need to use a hard shield to defend yourself. As for the centipede monster's toxin, you should speed up the analysis to see what specific effects it has.
