"roar!"
A monster's roar could be faintly heard from the thick fog ahead.
Su Bai felt a chill run down his spine.
He put away the music box and hurried forward. As the surrounding mist gradually dissipated, he saw bloodstains on the ground, still very fresh, indicating they had been left only recently.
After walking several dozen meters along the street.
A dim, yellowish light appeared in the mist, and the figures of several monsters were revealed at the same time.
It was a girl wearing a black dress. She had a youthful face and looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was huddled in a corner at the moment.
The source of the light was the candle she held in her hand, and the light emitted by the candle seemed to be able to block the bloodthirsty monster's senses.
However, she had scratches of varying degrees on her arms, calves, and abdomen.
The wound kept bleeding.
The strong smell of blood kept the surrounding monsters from leaving.
The candle was almost burned out.
The girl's expression changed from fear to despair; she closed her eyes tightly, awaiting death.
"Waaah..."
A bloodhound, its body rotting, was not far from her. It licked the blood on the ground and gradually approached her. The increasingly loud footsteps made the girl tremble violently.
Whoosh!
At the critical moment, a powerful crossbow bolt shot from the side, instantly piercing the Bloodhound's head. The enormous impact sent its body flying seven or eight meters away!
Critical hit! Weakness attack!
-8467!
"roar!"
Su Bai's move immediately attracted the attention of several monsters around him.
"waste."
He shook his head and put away the critical strike crossbow.
This crossbow only has enough durability for four more uses, so using it on ordinary monsters like this would be a waste.
But there's nothing we can do, whether it's the splash damage of Wind Bullet or the spread of Fire Spell.
They would attack even the girl next to them.
In that case, not only will the person not be saved, but a life will also be unjustly taken away.
Now that we've lured the monster away, it'll be much easier to deal with.
Su Bai used the Wind Bullet Technique to kill the wandering ordinary monsters one by one.
The unusual sounds of battle drew the girl's attention, causing her to look up and open her eyes.
Are you alright?
Su Bai looked at the girl as he waved his staff.
The exploration technique is activated automatically.
The girl's basic attributes appeared before his eyes.
【Merlin: Common, Level 1, Health: 5/100 (Severely injured and weak, scurvy infection, continuous bleeding)】
...
He was startled when he saw the girl's condition.
Goodness.
Thankfully, he arrived in time.
Two seconds later, she would have bled to death without the monster even having to do anything.
What you'll see then is a corpse.
A glimmer of light!
He raised his staff, and a beam of holy light shone upon Mylin.
But the next second, no healing numbers appeared, and the girl's health dropped by two points instead!
"Scurvy?!"
Su Bai was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening.
The two types of monsters in the Mad Street area both inflict very troublesome special status effects when they attack.
The attacks of the berserk monsters will stack Frenzy Erosion.
The attacks of the scurvy monster will prevent healing; you must first take hemostatic drugs before you can enjoy the healing effect.
But at this point, it's questionable whether she can even hold on until she takes her medication!
An ancient call!
Su Bai reacted with incredible speed; the pendant hanging around his neck immediately glowed faintly and arrived in an instant, disappearing into the girl's body.
"I..."
Mai Lin reluctantly raised her head, wanting to respond.
The next moment.
Her health bar dropped to zero.
Her pupils dilated and lost their luster; she fell to the side with a resentful expression.
"Waaah~!"
At that moment, an anciently carved animal horn appeared above her corpse. The horn vibrated, emitted a low hum, and released a soft glow that slowly seeped into Mylin's body.
Thump!
Her heartbeat, which had just subsided, began to beat again.
"What... happened to me?"
She got up, her eyes glazed over.
Su Bai glanced at her and saw that Mai Lin's health had returned to around 60 points.
This is what she looked like 30 seconds ago.
The bleeding is still there, probably from the cuts on her body, but the negative effects of the scurvy infection have disappeared.
"Just a little bit short."
Su Bai let out a soft breath, then tossed out two hemostatic pills, gesturing for the girl to take them.
"You're alright now."
He said.
"Thank you for saving me." Mylin glanced at Su Bai timidly.
She then touched her abdomen in disbelief, and the terrible wound that had killed her was gone.
"I remember... I think I've already died once..."
She bit her lip, trembling with fear.
Su Bai didn't answer, but went straight to the point: "Was it you who asked for help on Beiwa Street just now?"
"It's me."
The girl nodded.
A look of lingering fear crossed her face. "A monster broke into my house, and I had to run away... Could you provide me with a safe place to go?"
"Let's go to the ancestral hall."
Su Bai answered without much hesitation.
The ancestral hall is not a safe place either; the incense used for sedation is like a slow poison that will eventually kill a person.
But there's nowhere safer in the city than the shrine.
"thank you!"
Mylene clearly knew the location of the shrine.
She rummaged through her clothes, saying, "I have nothing to give you in return, only..."
As she spoke, her face gradually turned pale.
"You're looking for this?"
