The former advocates passing through if possible, and using a return scroll to escape if not.
Another approach is to kill the monster even if it means being severely injured!
The two often argued fiercely.
But during the argument, they inexplicably felt that their bond had deepened. They could easily say jokes that they wouldn't normally make.
For example, Leah mocks Eko as a "big bear monster," while Eko despises Leah's flat-top.
After several nights of discussion, Xueyan finally finalized the plan.
Today is the day they can verify their results.
The World Tree Secret Realm, thirteenth floor, Dripping Water Cave.
This is a vast cave with an open terrain, filled with jagged rock walls, strange blue rocks, and stalactite-like rocks overhead. Cool water droplets drip down from the ceiling.
Ahead of the Snow Goose Squad, in a puddle, a monster suddenly emerged, spewing out a thick jet of water that swept across the surrounding area.
"They're here!"
"The guardian of the Dripping Water Cave, a level 28 monster, the Sleeping Serpent Beast!"
"Upon encountering the adventurers, the Sleeping Serpent Beast will unleash the skill [Water Spray]. Everyone, listen to my command and prepare to take cover!"
Phyllis's golden braids fluttered in the wind as she wore a white scholar's robe and nervously gazed at the monster ahead.
The Sleeping Serpent Beast is 15 meters long and 5 meters tall when semi-erect. It is a water-attribute snake-type monster with a light blue, round, rock-like organ at its seven-inch mark.
Linda's guide calls this thing a sleeping bag, which contains a large amount of gas that can induce drowsiness.
The Snow Goose Squad set up their formation, with Oru and Chrona in the first row, ten meters apart, watching over each other.
As the team's strongest damage dealer and a semi-tanky swordsman, Lia sits in the middle and adapts to changing circumstances.
In the back row are Kaine and Ike, one with a bow drawn and an arrow nocked, and the other holding a staff.
At the very back was Phyllis, who was in charge of command.
"Jump!"
Seizing the opportune moment, Phyllis gave the order, and the entire Snow Goose Squad leaped up, precisely dodging the Sleeping Serpent Beast's sweeping water jets.
What follows is the most fatal.
What makes the Sleep Serpent Beast terrifying is its ability to emit sleep rays.
Adventurers who are hit will fall asleep instantly for 10 to 30 seconds.
In a battle fraught with danger, let alone sleeping for 30 seconds, even sleeping for 1 second could be fatal.
But Linda gave Xueyan a strategy—to do the opposite.
The three damage-dealing classes, including Lia, intentionally took the hit, absorbing the Sleep Serpent Beast's Sleep Beam. After using this attack, the Sleep Serpent Beast's sleep sac needed to replenish its power and was unable to continue using it for a period of time.
While Lia and the others were asleep, Krona and Orlu stood in the front row to block the Sleeping Serpent Beast's attack.
While ordinary front-line units might not be able to do this, with Krona, a pink-haired loli with an incredibly tough build, and the powerful [Rampage Stomp], it's enough to successfully block the Sleeping Serpent Beast's attacks and draw its aggro.
Once Chrona reaches Star Rank 1, she will learn the incredibly powerful taunt-type ultimate skill, "Minion Minion," whose functionality rivals that of a five-star character.
But that's a story for another time.
Looking at the present, Phyllis, following Linda's ideas, formulated a detailed battle plan.
Level 13, you'll definitely pass!
...
"Its sleep light is activated, Captain, let's go!"
Phyllis's eyes were red, and she screamed at the top of her lungs.
In his struggle against the berserk Sleep Serpent Beast, Oru's shield shattered, and he coughed up blood.
Chrona's face turned slightly pale, and she looked like she was about to collapse.
"Go to hell!"
"Explode! Flame! Slash!"
With a loud shout, Lia's fiery red greatsword ignited with tornado-like flames.
