Faced with this sudden situation, only Su Bai among those present reacted.
But he stood still, showing no intention of making a move.
The Mystic Sea and Sky is a hidden gem with beautiful scenery and a tranquil environment, making it a great place for taking photos and sightseeing.
In reality, it was the stronghold of a group of cult members.
Beneath this beautiful exterior lurks terrifying and bizarre monsters.
They won't learn their lesson unless they are taught a lesson.
"Jiaojiao, watch out!"
Shenwei reminded him, drew his greatsword and rushed forward, but it was still too late to save him.
Before Gillian could react, she was immediately entangled by the tentacles. After a moment of stunned silence, she turned pale with fright and managed only to let out a scream.
"ah!!"
Then, the person was dragged into the sea of clouds by the tentacles and disappeared without a trace.
A few seconds later.
A system message arrived.
[Notification: Your teammate 'Ah Jiao' has died!]
...
If this were the real world, she would be dead beyond any doubt in such a short time.
They couldn't even find the body.
It's a pity it's just a game.
Furthermore, the penalty for dying in the secret realm is not as severe as it is normally.
You won't lose experience or equipment; at most, you'll lose 5% of the durability of all your equipment.
Losing points and wiping out the entire party is a common occurrence when running dungeons.
But the fact that the monster managed to get the kill so easily right under everyone's noses made the professional players' faces look rather grim.
"She was too close; there wasn't enough time to save her," Mo Yu explained, standing closest to A Jiao.
"It's not your fault."
Nine Lives spoke up for him with a solemn expression.
Everything that just happened is clear. Su Bai had already warned her, but he still couldn't stop A Jiao from courting death. There's nothing anyone can do about this situation.
"Damn it!"
Shenwei glanced at Su Bai, then angrily ran to the spot where she had been swept into the sea of clouds, wanting to avenge her.
But after the monster succeeded in its attack, it remained silent.
Like a top-notch assassin.
They quietly hid themselves, waiting for everyone to reveal their next weakness.
"Let's reopen it. Luckily, we just entered the store, so it won't take up too much time."
"Nine Lives said."
Shenwei looked grim. Before entering the dungeon, he had confidently declared that he would carry everyone.
As a result, he couldn't even protect his own female companion.
He suddenly glared at Su Bai and demanded, "You knew there were monsters hiding there? Why didn't you say so beforehand?"
"Was my reminder not timely enough?"
Su Bai frowned and looked at him.
Their gazes met.
Shenwei's gaze involuntarily shifted away, then he became even angrier, a vein bulging on the back of his hand as he gripped the greatsword.
The two were deadlocked.
Nine Lives came to the rescue, saying, "It happened so suddenly that no one had time to react. The White Emperor gave us a timely warning, but the monster is too cunning. We can just try again."
At this point, Gillian Chung had also respawned and was asking in the team chat, bewildered, "What happened? How did I get killed?"
Kamui, seething with anger, offered a simple explanation: "You were ambushed by a monster..."
He then initiated a restart request within the team.
Everyone voted to agree.
A flash of light.
Everyone reappeared unharmed at the spot where they had just entered the secret realm.
"Damn it! That damned monster! Brother Wei, you have to avenge me!" Ajiao hugged Shenwei's arm and shook it, acting coquettishly.
Everyone naturally ignored the couple's affectionate display.
But Jiuming also said, "We didn't see what kind of monster it was just now, but keeping it around is a potential threat. Should we lure it out and deal with it first?"
These words were spoken to Kamui, the nominal captain.
Nine Lives' gaze drifted toward Su Bai.
None of them were stupid. The monster wasn't mentioned in Shen Wansan's intelligence, yet Su Bai was able to give an early warning.
He must know some more detailed information.
Su Bai simply said, "Give it a try."
Who will lure the monster?
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell on Gillian.
The woman shrank back in fear, "I'm not going! That feeling is too terrifying! You can go yourselves!"
"I'll do it!"
Shenwei took the initiative to accept the task.
He is the team's main tank, so this dangerous task should rightfully be done by him.
Seeing this, the others stopped saying anything.
Shenwei then walked to the edge of the mountain path. Having learned from his previous experience, he pretended that nothing had happened and turned his back to the sea of clouds.
The monster hidden in the clouds was indeed fooled.
Whoosh!
The clouds and waves parted.
A dark figure darted out quickly.
But this time everyone was prepared. Shenwei was the first to react. He suddenly turned around, drew the greatsword from his back, and his body glowed red as he fiercely slashed down at the tentacle.
when! !
The sword blade collided with the tentacles, producing a metallic clanging sound.
"Ancient winds, heed my call and shatter the enemy before you!"
Nine Lives raised his staff and chanted softly.
Wind Blade Combo!
Whoosh whoosh!
A series of half-meter-wide azure wind blades flew out from the tip of the staff, striking the tentacle one after another, only causing a shower of sparks to fly.
But he had another reason for choosing the wind element.
The clouds and mist were blown away.
call...
After the wind blade shattered, it created a gust of wind that blew away the sea of clouds, allowing the monster hidden in the mist to reveal its true form for a moment.
"Oh my god!"
"What the hell is this thing?!"
"Holy shit, holy shit? Holy shit!"
Everyone froze in place after witnessing the tentacle's true form.
