Fortunately, Red Scorpion attracted a lot of attention. His shot, which he was trying to use to finish off the enemy, had a very tricky trajectory and was covered by a lot of dazzling magic from the mage, so no one noticed it.
After all, who would believe that someone could shoot into the air, dodge a barrage of fireballs and arrows, and then somehow manage to hit the commander accurately?
In fact, before Qin Shuai could say anything, the group had already taken action, unleashing a barrage of skills on the Red Scorpion.
Originally, the team leader was supposed to finish off the enemy, but unfortunately, he messed up and accidentally killed two of his teammates, giving the team members who wanted to get the first blood an opportunity.
At this moment, the severely injured Red Scorpion curled up in the sand and burrowed away to escape.
The creature, about the size of a baby elephant, with only half its body visible, was stuck in the sand by some treacherous sorcerers.
It was like a helpless and pitiful girl dragged into a dark alley by a group of refugees, suffering wave after wave of abuse. Its tail, stained with poisonous blood, thrashed about like a slender leg kicking wildly as it struggled desperately, which only aroused the excitement of the crowd. Their breathing became heavy, their eyes bloodshot, and they became increasingly frenzied.
Kill monsters to gain experience, get equipment, and learn skills, not to mention this is an elite monster leading an army!
The soldier, armed with a knife, jumped up and started slashing wildly!
The mage chanted incantations and unleashed a barrage of burst skills at the Crimson Scorpion. If teammates were accidentally injured, it was the fireball's fault, not the mage's!
The archers' hands flew across the field as they desperately fired arrows at the struggling red scorpion, filling the bow with arrows so thickly that it nearly burst.
call out!
The man-eating flower spat out a poisonous stinger, a flash of emerald green in mid-air, standing out even amidst a dazzling display of fireworks. It pierced through the flesh beneath the red scorpion's carapace, bursting into a vibrant green flower, with most of the toxins penetrating inside.
"Awooo, watch how I kill it!"
Then, Qin Shuai drew his golden hand axe, and, accompanied by the bouncing carnivorous plants, charged forward like a mad dog, hacking away the scorpions blocking his path. He joined the melee group, howling and charging forward with them…
This behavior fits his persona as a hot-tempered guy who threatens his teammates with a gun, and it also creates the illusion that he's running out of ammunition but still wants to grab experience points with a hand axe.
Furthermore, the melee tanks and warriors also had a certain fondness for him; the vine bindings of the carnivorous plant, which allowed for almost instantaneous casting, were of great help to them.
"cough…"
Can Yan knelt on the ground, her shoulder-length black hair hanging down, her face somewhat pale.
That burst of forging power nearly drained most of his magical energy and also consumed a lot of his stamina.
Having used his trump card, he was in extremely poor condition and urgently needed to rest.
rustle…
At his feet, the sand cracked open, and a scorpion suddenly darted out and pounced.
The sand underground hadn't undergone the same soil hardening process the mage had used to smash the scorpion's head open.
"Tear!"
The scorpions that jumped out were slashed and sent flying more than ten meters away, landing on the faces of some scorpions that had just emerged.
Qin Shuai, wielding a golden hand axe, grabbed Can Yan and released a man-eating flower, then pounced on him like a dog, devouring several small scorpions in one bite.
"Thank you, Bai Qi."
Can Yan barely managed to fight, panting heavily, and slowly recovered by drinking some potions dropped by monsters.
After he severely injured Red Scorpion with his sword, the guild leader was sent flying. The other guild members were busy grabbing experience points, and no one paid attention to him, the great hero.
On the contrary, Qin Shuai, covered in poisonous blood, had clearly fought his way through the scorpion swarm to come and provide support, which moved him somewhat, increasing his favorability towards Qin Shuai by +++.
"Can you still move?"
"Sure, using only some basic sword techniques is fine."
"oh."
Qin Shuai nodded and said.
Their gazes turned to the battlefield of the Red Scorpion.
The Crimson Scorpion is engulfed in flames, and even some melee classes dare not jump onto it and slash wildly. They can only stay on the edge, where they are also vulnerable to being injured by unskilled mages.
At this moment, amidst the near-mad rampage of the group, Red Scorpion trembled, abandoned half of his body, and before running away, he filled the hole with soil.
Here's your tail as a souvenir, see you later! (Next time I'll get my brother to kill you all!)
With their leader running away, the brainless scorpions followed suit.
They arrived in a grand procession and left with the same fervor, leaving behind some pitifully cheap white clothing before disappearing.
After cleaning up the battlefield and recovering, the group prepared to head to the next Golden Palace to seek help from a monstrous expert once their leader woke up.
"The cabbage and pork filling is pretty good."
Qin Shuai also sat on the sand and handed a steamer to Can Yan.
As the steamer is opened, steam rises, and the hot steamed buns release a meaty aroma. The thin bun skins, glistening with the flowing meat juices, look incredibly tempting.
Can Yan didn't hold back either. After catching her breath, she grabbed a few steamed buns and stuffed them into her mouth. Soon, a satisfied smile appeared on her clean face, which was hidden by her blue hair.
It smells so good!
Upon seeing this, the people around were stunned for a moment, and when they touched the rough and hard dry food in their hands, they couldn't help but show disgust.
In particular, a certain carnivorous plant was chewing on the scorpion's corpse, its venomous fangs crunching and splattering juices, which made them lose their appetite.
"By the way, Bai Qi, what kind of route does your man-eating flower take?"
“…(*?▽?*)?”
With a smug look in her eyes, Can Yan stared at Qin Shuai, who was filling his ammunition and looking puzzled, while biting into a steamed bun. She asked curiously, "We summoners all have our summoned beasts develop a clear path for us."
"I chose the melee summoner class, and my summoned beasts are mainly for support. When equipped, I become the strongest fighter."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuai pulled out a frying pan, poured in some drinking water, and then put the lid on.
Place some flint at the bottom of the pot and pile stones around it to reduce heat loss.
Pour a few tea leaves into the teapot you bought, and then brew them with boiling water.
Qin Shuai took a small sip, blowing on the emerald green tea, which was filled with a rich aroma.
Upon seeing this, Can Yan was taken aback.
Boil...boil tea?
"Want a drink?"
“…Um, okay.”
Amidst the rolling yellow sand and the shade provided by cacti, the two leisurely ate steamed buns and drank green tea.
Everyone: "..."
That's going too far!
To Canyan's surprise, the brewed tea had a noticeable soothing effect on the spirit.
He estimated that the large cup in his hand was worth at least a thousand Star Coins, not including the tea leaves.
My new teammate really does come from a wealthy family…
I bet their family owns a gold mine…
Qin Shuai looked at the team that was still resting. They had killed at least a thousand scorpions, but only a dozen or so items had dropped, mostly white equipment with no attributes.
With a drop rate of around 1%, test takers are likely quite resentful of the game's design.
Seeing that the team was still resting, and the team leader had just finished eating dirt and gotten up with a very unfriendly expression, Qin Shuai lowered his head, flipped through the Summoning Manual, took a sip of clear tea, and thought about his Random Summoning Spell, which had refreshed its cooldown and could be cast once.
Then,
He used…
A layer of white light flashed, and the next moment, a gray-furred mouse leaped out from the turbulent flow of time.
Qin Shuai: "..."
Mouse: "..."
