Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Combat Flight

The next morning, Tang Li arranged the restaurant matters, bought a dozen return-to-city talismans, and left the town with Xirang after a long absence.

As soon as she left the town, Tang Li used the teleportation ring.

The first time she was teleported, Tang Li was teleported to a valley. She opened the map and saw that although she was still in the Tidal Sea, she was already a long way from the town.

The scenery of this valley is quite nice. On both sides of the winding stream are flowers and plants in Morandi colors, which looks particularly dreamy. At present, there seems to be no danger. Tang Li walked up along the stream, intending to find a high ground to observe.

Xirang jumped and skipped on the grass, scaring away a few yellow monsters that came to drink water along the way. It felt like an outing.

The valley was not large, and Tang Li soon arrived at the source of the stream - a waterfall of decent size.

There were faint fish swimming in the pool under the waterfall. It looked like a good fishing spot, but unfortunately Tang Li had not learned any fishing skills.

After taking a regretful look at the fish in the pond, Tang Li collected the Xirang, regretfully bypassed the pond, and climbed up the mountain along the waterfall. When he reached the middle section, a ray of light flashed from a crevice in the stone not far away.

Following his memory, he saw a bronze treasure chest with a corner exposed by the impact of the water. He took out the mining tools and dug out the bronze treasure chest. Tang Li directly found a flat ground, sat down cross-legged and opened the box.

"Click." After the treasure chest was opened, Tang Li took out a key that looked like a gem and shone brightly from it.

"Where is this key from? A copy or a treasure chest?" After looking around and not finding anything special, Tang Li put the key away and planned to continue going up.

Nothing special happened next, and Tang Li climbed to the top of the waterfall smoothly.

The outlet of the waterfall is several small springs. Maybe there is a more abundant water source underground. Tang Li looked around the springs. There was a cliff on the back of the valley. Under the cliff was an endless forest. Countless birds as tall as a person flew back and forth between the forest and the stone wall.

There didn't look like there was a place on the top of the mountain where a lock could be inserted. Tang Li thought for a moment, then used the flying technique to jump off the cliff.

"Is it here?" Tang Li landed on a tree nimbly, turned around and looked back, only to see countless densely packed caves on the bare stone walls. In each cave, a group of red-eyed baby birds with sharp teeth poked their heads out, crying for food.

Although they are called young birds, they are actually about one meter tall. The hardworking bird father and mother carry huge insects in their mouths and go back and forth to feed them. They look so dark that it makes people's scalp tingle.

"If the box corresponding to the key is in here, that would be a huge project." Tang Li said with disdain, but was actually in a good mood. The levels of these birds were slightly higher than hers, but not much higher. They were very suitable for her to level up.

"Ga ga!" The birds just happened to notice Tang Li. The giant birds closest to her dropped the insects in their mouths and flapped their wings towards her.

Tang Li took out her staff and faced the enemy head-on.

[Troll Bird: Level 13, HP 10000/10000]

These monsters can also cooperate with each other. Huge black magic balls are spit out from the mouth of the troll bird and attack Tang Li from all directions.

Tang Li, who had no combat flying skills, had a hard time facing these flying monsters. Fortunately, there were so many trees around that could serve as her natural barrier.

Tang Li dodged left and right under the cover of the big trees, and then turned back and used a few skills to firmly grasp their hatred, leading them into the depths of the dense forest, blocking the troll bird's flying advantage.

The branches in the dense forest were so dense and lush, and the birds were so tall that they had no way to fly. It was her turn to take the initiative, and Tang Li strode forward.

Magic bullet!

Cursed Eye!

Entanglement!

Life weaving!

Tang Li waved her staff, and with the help of the Greedy Set, she could fight five of them at once. Although it wasn't completely stress-free, she could still kill them by just grinding them down.

Practice has proved that Tang Li has not neglected the skills she had practiced hard during these days of busy business. In order to cooperate with the team's all-round route, she also played to her due advantages when playing alone.

Tang Li, who can fight, control and heal, performs well in protracted battles, not to mention that she also has her own red and blue potions and cooked food.

The troll birds, whose movements were already restricted, were already feeling very frustrated, and protracted battles were not their forte. After an unknown amount of time, several troll birds cried out in grief and anger, dropping their equipment all over the ground.

Tang Li picked it up and took a look. It was basically some worthless blank equipment. She could only sell it to the system store after returning.

Because the backpack space was large enough, Tang Li simply set it up for automatic pickup in the next battle, and then sorted it out after the battle.

After adjusting her state, the forest that was destroyed by the previous fight was refreshed, and Tang Li continued to go out to lure monsters.

In this way, after killing four or five waves of monsters in a row, Tang Li's physical strength was exhausted.

"Let's take a rest." The feeling of exhaustion was really uncomfortable. Tang Li sat down on the ground, took out a plate of garlic-mashed water spinach and started eating it with rice.

That's right, she is so hypocritical. She thinks it's weird when others eat with plates in the wild, but when it's her turn, the food tastes so good.

After eating and drinking, Tang Li lay down on the ground.

Don't get me wrong, this is not carbon monoxide halo, it's simply a side effect of cooking food.

The debuff of garlic-mashed water spinach is stun for 30 seconds, and the debuff of rice is blindness for 30 seconds. When combined together, you will feel dizzy and blind, and it is easy to fall to the ground if you are not careful.

It is said that the problems players encounter in restaurants every day due to various debuffs have become an entertainment activity in the town. No matter whether it is the players themselves who have problems or the onlookers, they are all happy every day.

This is mainly because the town is a safe area. If something like this happened in the wild, it would easily cause trouble, so she is so considerate.

Tang Li raised her arms to cover her eyes and waited for 30 seconds for the debuff effect to pass.

30 seconds later, Tang Li jumped up from the ground and successfully resurrected.

After drinking two more bottles of red and blue potions to replenish her condition, Tang Li was about to make another effort when she was knocked down by the debuff of the red and blue potions again.

"Maybe we can consider combining alchemy and cooking." Tang Li muttered to herself while lying on the ground.

At this moment, Xirang in the pet space protested.

"Oh no!" Tang Li sat up in shock and quickly released the Xirang in the space, apologizing repeatedly, "I'm sorry, baby, I forgot about you!"

"Chi!" Baby Xirang jumped, indicating that he was very angry.

"I was really wrong!" Tang Li bent forward in frustration. "You'll stand far away and gain experience points later. I'll definitely bring you to level ten today. Then you can fight alongside me!"

In order to appease Xirang and find something for it to do, Tang Li canceled the automatic pickup and left the task of picking up the dropped items to Xirang.

"Chi." Xirang finally calmed down and ran away happily according to Tang Li's instructions, waiting for Tang Li to lure the monster over.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After a while, Tang Li came back with a few troll birds.

"I'm about to start!" Tang Li greeted Xirang, signaling it to be careful, and soon started fighting with the troll bird with his staff raised.

The experience gained from the death of a level 13 monster is huge for Xirang. Almost as soon as Tang Li killed the first troll bird, Xirang's experience pool was full.

However, Tang Li was too busy to upgrade Xirang now. She would have to wait until she eliminated all three troll birds that she had attracted before she would have time to transfer her supernatural powers to Xirang.

"Ji!" The feeling of becoming stronger made Xirang very happy. Before Tang Li opened her mouth to say that she wanted to continue luring monsters, Xirang couldn't wait to pick up the dropped items and urged her to continue.

"I'll try my best!" Having Xirang by her side is much more enjoyable than fighting monsters alone. Tang Li nodded and rushed out quickly.

After Xirang's level is upgraded to level five, the coverage range of the curse skill is upgraded to 2.5 meters, and the probability of the enemy skill missing is also increased to 6%.

Although no new skills have been awakened, the potential of this skill is very great, and it is also amazing to specialize in a skill.

Xirang's skill upgrade made them both excited.

After several rounds, Xirang successfully reached level 8, and Tang Li's level was finally upgraded to level 12.

After level ten, the experience required for each level up is enormous, but Tang Li does not feel discouraged.

As its level increased, Xirang's actions gradually became bolder. Just like now, when Tang Li was fighting monsters in front, it also started picking up the insects dropped by the troll bird and started attacking.

Xirang has no attack skills, but it does not give up. It directly charges at the enemy with its jelly-like body.

Although the bug was not of a high level, it moved slowly and had no attack power. Seeing Xirang trying so hard, Tang Li just let it go.

Before they knew it, they had been killing monsters all morning with their pet.

"Let's take a break." Seeing that it was almost noon, Tang Li called Xirang, who was still torturing insects, to come back. The two of them ate something together and rested on the spot.

"Let's see what dropped this morning." Although physical strength can be restored by cooking, the mental fatigue from fighting monsters for a whole morning is still difficult to eliminate. Holding Xirang to restore some blood, Tang Li regained some energy in the morning and began to check the morning's harvest.

"Let me see. I'm not surprised at all. They are all junk." Tang Li looked at them one by one. Blank equipment, blank equipment, and occasionally bronze equipment. This one can be sold for some money.

Troll bird feathers, what are they for?

Trollbird eggs? "Wow, a pet egg! This should sell for quite a bit of money, but I should probably ask in the gang if anyone wants one first," Tang Li sat up straight. "The Trollbird isn't very good-looking, though, so I'm not sure if anyone would dislike it."

However, compared to the wild wolf and rabbit, the troll bird is at least of a higher level and looks fresher, so someone should want it.

Tang Li continued reading.

Worm slime, is this the drop from the bugs Xirang killed? It's actually a magic item. Keep it, I'll probably know what it's useful for later.

And then... a skill book?!

"It's a skill book?" Tang Li couldn't believe it. She could actually get a skill book dropped from an ordinary monster?

What made her even more unbelievable was that this was actually a book on combat flying!

Look what she saw, rare combat flight technique??!

She had been thinking that her maneuverability was too poor when fighting with birds, but these cute and kind birds actually dropped a book on combat flying for her?

Although combat flying is also subject to personal agility, even with the same agility, fighting on land and in the air will result in completely different maneuvers.

Didn't you see that Tang Li no longer likes to use her flying broom after mastering the art of flight? The feeling of being able to fly independently is completely different from flying with the help of tools. Similarly, fighting on the ground is completely different from fighting in the air!

"From now on, I will rise!" Tang Li decisively learned the skill book and immediately rushed out to fight the troll bird to the death.

She is now only one level lower than the Troll Bird, and now she has combat flight. As long as she doesn't attract too many monsters at once, she feels that she no longer needs to hide.

"Next, let's fight fairly!" Tang Li's blood boiled, and she rushed to... the edge of the forest. If she couldn't win, she could still return to the depths of the dense forest.

"Ji!" Xirang also stood at the edge of the forest, closer to the inside, rushing out from time to time to use his skills and pick up some loopholes.

More than two hours later, Xirang successfully upgraded to level 10, and acquired a new skill [Collision] through his own efforts, and Tang Li also obtained two more combat flying techniques.

"Is this really not a dream?" Tang Li looked at the two freshly-made skill books in her hands with some disbelief.

Tang Li searched the system prompts for a long time in disbelief, and found that all three skill books were picked up by Xirang, and the monsters dropped by the last two skill books were killed by Xirang.

"That makes sense now," Tang Li held her chin with one hand, pretending to have suddenly realized something. "I was wondering how I could have such good luck, it turns out it's all because of the Xirang baby."

"Although we've found the reason for the skill book drops, why are all the dropped ones Combat Flight?" Tang Li's eyes flashed with confusion as she cast her gaze towards the dense flock of birds flying in the sky. "Is it because of the bird monsters?"

If it was really as she thought, even if the general level of their gang members was higher than the level of this monster spawning point, this would definitely be a high-quality resource point that required people to spawn for a long time.

Combat Flight is something you don’t have to use, but it’s essential. It’s a high-quality skill book that almost everyone needs, and it won’t become obsolete even in the later stages of the game.

But now everything is just her guess. In order to prevent everyone from being disappointed, Tang Li plans to continue verifying it.

In the following time, Tang Li did not forget to pay attention and observe while fighting monsters.

I even started picking up the dropped items manually.

After working for a long time, Tang Li got nothing, but she picked up a skill book from Xirang.

It is still combat flying.

It is now almost certain that this monster spawn point specifically drops combat flight skills.

Tang Li opened the message board and planned to send this news to Juerlizi in a private message, asking him to send someone to verify it.

As a result, before she could open her mouth to say anything, her vision suddenly went dark.

Tang Li quickly rolled over to avoid the opponent's attack, and then used combat flying skills to jump out more than ten meters, only to find that the one attacking her was actually a boss that was bigger than the other troll birds.

[Troll Bird Leader: Level 15, HP 20000/20000]

He is three levels higher than her and should be able to beat him. Tang Li hesitated for a moment and did not directly call for help. She felt that they were about the same level now, and it would be no difficulty to ask them to fight these bosses together.

But she planned to try to see if she could kill the boss alone first. After all, the experience points for killing the boss alone were considerable. Wasn't she working so hard to kill monsters alone just to catch up with everyone else as soon as possible?

Tang Li's eyes were firm, and she looked at the boss with a determination to win.

Cursed Eye!

The skill was activated, and the boss, flapping his wings, was instantly hit.

Taking advantage of this gap, Tang Li hurriedly recalled Xirang and rushed towards the dense forest.

She is just a squishy magician and definitely cannot withstand the boss's attacks, so she can only take advantage of the dense forest again, hoping to entangle the boss.

Before he ran far, the troll bird leader roared and quickly caught up with him.

Cursed Eye!

Tang Li continues to use her skills!

This time it seemed to have failed. Tang Li felt a burning sensation behind her. Even though she immediately dodged to the side, the aftermath of the shock wave still threw her forward.

There was a sudden pain in her body, and Tang Li's health bar dropped by half in an instant.

"Gudong!" Tang Li picked up the red medicine and stuffed it into her mouth, while continuing to run towards the dense forest without daring to stop.

Finally, before the boss's next wave of attack arrived, Tang Li slid and successfully hid deep in the dense forest.

The dense forest full of branches really had a huge impact on the boss's movements.

But there is a reason why he can become the boss. Even if he is disturbed by the dense forest, he can still beat Tang Li to a pulp.

Thanks to her strong logistics, she relied on potions and blood recovery skills to fight the boss.

Relying on the dense forest and her own advantages, Tang Li successfully eliminated the level advantage between the two. Although the progress was not fast, she gradually began to fight with the boss and successfully reduced half of the opponent's blood.

Time passed slowly, and when Tang Li realized it, it was already getting dark.

The night gave the boss an extra boost. The boss, who was originally very aggrieved, suddenly became more powerful and attacked Tang Li ferociously.

The wise thing to do now is to quickly escape from the battle and return to the city, but the boss has already lost half of his health, and it is really reluctant for her to give up now.

If she can't kill this boss today, she won't be able to sleep at night.

Tang Li gritted her teeth and finally decided to stay.

Nothing could be seen clearly in the pitch-black night, but fortunately her skills did not fail thanks to her good hit rate. In addition, the two of them had unknowingly entered the depths of the jungle. Although the boss had strong attack power, it could not exert much advantage in this environment.

After fighting for a long time, Tang Li was still strong and the boss's health was basically not reduced. The current situation was that no one could kill the other, but no one was willing to give up, so both sides just kept wasting time.

Unkillable creatures are really annoying. Now it seems that she has dragged on for a while. It is obvious that this kind of boss is not something she can deal with, but she feels unwilling to give up just like that.

In order to defeat this boss, she had spent a lot of red and blue medicines alone. If she gave up now, she would definitely lose money.

Tang Li, who was numb, searched back and forth in her skill bar, and finally found that the only skill she could use to turn the situation around was Explosive Impact.

Explosive Impact has always been Tang Li's favorite in the early stages because of the chance of death. However, as Tang Li's level increases, it becomes difficult to trigger the chance of death due to her luck. The attack power of this skill becomes a bit awkward after Tang Li reaches level 10.

Tang Li has been using this skill less and less, so this time she can only try it out.

As long as she can trigger the fatal skill of Explosive Impact, she can kill the boss.

"It all depends on luck!" Tang Li gritted her teeth and decided to give herself another chance to be a gambler.

If she still can't kill the boss after running out of mana, she should leave the battle and use the return symbol to go back.

Explosive impact!

-50!

The amount of blood loss was like scraping, not only did Tang Li want to cry, but the boss also seemed to be insulted and yelled at Tang Li.

-60!

The boss's roar brought with it a shock wave, which took away 60 points of Tang Li's health when he passed by.

If Tang Li hadn't been exhausted from the boss's attacks, she would have almost laughed.

This scene is so humorous!

After dodging another wave of attacks, Tang Li wiped away her tears and continued to wave her staff.

Explosive impact!

It was unknown how long it had been, but Tang Li was almost numb from the cycle of dodging and drinking medicine, and the magic circuits in her body were running wildly due to the high-intensity exercise.

"Wait, something seems wrong?" Tang Li stopped drinking the blue medicine.

When she used Explosive Impact just now, did the mana bar recovery speed increase?

"It's meditation!" Tang Li quickly found the reason.

Although she hadn't leveled up these days, she had been practicing her meditation skills all the time. From the initial stumbling blocks to the continuous practice later on, the ordinary skills that every player had when they registered actually showed their magic at this time.

At first, Tang Li thought it was just an illusion, but after several experiments, Tang Li found that the blue bar that was originally empty was indeed recovering at a very fast speed.

In addition to the blue bar, the recovery speed of the health bar and physical strength is also much faster than before, and the experience points representing meditation are also climbing rapidly.

My body was extremely tired, and the potential of my meditation skills was brought out!

She knew that the game spent so much effort simulating magic circuits, definitely not just for the sake of immersion.

What's the biggest fear when playing games? Isn't it putting in effort but not getting any reward?

Although the recovery after high-speed meditation is still limited and still needs to be supplemented by blue and red medicines, as long as Tang Li can feel the progress, she feels that the effort tonight is worth it.

With the new gains, Tang Li, who had been defeated, was revived with full health and attacked the boss with full motivation.

The boss couldn't understand why this annoying human who he was about to give up on suddenly came back to life as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He only knew that this person was so annoying, like a little bug. Although he didn't have much attack power, he just wouldn't give up.

The grumpy boss showed stronger attack power!

Encouraged, Tang Li fought harder and harder.

Finally, with a burst of impact, the half-bar of the boss's health that could not be lowered was completely emptied.

"Clatter--" The sound of equipment and money falling was very pleasant.

Tang Li was stunned for a long time, then quickly summoned Xirang after she reacted, and gently pushed it forward:

"Xirang, go pick up what's left!"

"Ji!" Xirang stepped forward and quickly pulled out a piece of parchment.

It seems to be a medicine formula?

Tang Li took the parchment and looked at it carefully, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Night Vision..."
