Chapter 131
It’s such a rip-off!
After realizing that the game had set a trap for her, Xia Mo was speechless and gritted her teeth.
Who could have imagined that this huge black dragon could actually crack the ground and cause lava to flow out?
If we don't return the Tear Stone quickly and calm its anger, the cave will probably collapse soon!
The collapse is a small matter, but crushing Augustine to death is a big matter.
By that time, the target of the mission will be dead, where can she complete the mission?
It will definitely not be completed, and it will be recycled by the system.
When Xia Mo thought about how he was excited about triggering a rare epic task just an hour ago, and now looked at the cracks in the ground everywhere, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
It was also her fault, as she had a preconceived notion that this task could be repeated.
Now thinking back carefully, the reason why those players were able to repeatedly enter the nest academy was most likely because they did not have the item [Tear Stone].
Without props, Augustine's anger cannot be triggered. If he is not angry, he will not cause the current ground crack, as if he wants to die together with the enemy.
After figuring it out, Xia Mo stopped worrying about it.
There is no need to dwell on what has already happened. It cannot be reversed anyway. Instead of constantly feeling regretful, it is better to think of a way to complete the task before the nest collapses.
Running on the uneven ground caused by the shock, Xia Mo pulled Augustine around in circles in the nest.
She wasn't just walking around in circles, but was observing this guy's movements.
Level 100 monsters are certainly terrifying, but ultimately they also have to follow background programs. What skills and abilities does a monster have? Is there a pre-swing before releasing these skills? How long is the pre-swing? How long does it take after releasing them before they can be triggered again? These are all things to learn.
Everyone understands these theories when they are spoken out, but when they actually face them on the battlefield, it is another matter.
Players with poor psychological quality usually have a blank mind when facing monsters dozens of times their size alone. Things like testing skills and remembering the pre-swing time... all these things that they have been reminded of over and over again off the court are thrown out of their minds.
Even if there are a few obedient ones who try hard to observe and find patterns, due to their poor operation, their eyes see but their bodies react slowly, and in the end they are beaten to death by monsters just like the players above.
This is the difference between masters and ordinary players.
Mentality, eyes, pace, reaction... without any one of them, you cannot be among the masters.
Xia Mo boasts that he is not inferior to others in these aspects, so he dares to fight against the Dark Dragon with his small human body.
"Damn you, Guyenne! How long are you going to hide?"
The black dragon behind him roared, and a wall of fire spewed out of its mouth, moving forward at an extremely fast speed!
The fire wall was rectangular, with the wide side touching the ground. It would be too late to run to the sides, so Xia Mo immediately turned around and ran out at a perpendicular angle to the fire wall.
Wherever the wall of fire passed, the ground was charred black. Before it was about to hit Xia Mo's back, Xia Mo stepped on the slanted wall of the cave, kicked his thigh hard, and leaned back sharply into the air, like a fish jumping out of the water, with his back facing down, rubbing against the highest point of the wall of fire, drawing a graceful arc in the low air.
The wall of fire hit the cave wall and extinguished itself, but the impact area and the ground it slid over were turned into a charred black. If she hadn't dodged it just now, she would have been burned to a pile of bones.
More walls of fire continued to pursue her.
Xia Mo didn't care about his image and ran to the bottom of another cave wall. Like a little monkey, he grabbed the stones on the cave wall and climbed up!
The wall of fire rushed over, burning with blazing flames below! At this time, the black dragon opened its mouth and spewed flames at her on the cave wall.
Xia Mo immediately let go and jumped straight down from above. As soon as she landed, she ran to the outer circle without stopping. The black dragon followed her, accumulating energy to spray flames while chasing.
Xia Mo jumped left and right to dodge, not letting the flames touch him at all. The black dragon was furious and stopped the fire attack. It stood in place and began to flap its wings on both sides again.
Here it comes! It's about to fly into the air and crack the ground again!
Knowing that this was the pre-shake action of the shattering, Xia Mo was prepared. She stopped abruptly and stopped running forward. Instead, she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the black dragon.
Those who didn’t know would think she was going to die, but in fact, Xia Mo’s target was Augustine’s wings.
She had already figured out Augustine's ultimate move. He would spray flames first, then cause a ground fissure, and then use a wall of fire. After the wall of fire failed, he would start a new round of attacks.
Once you know this order, it will be much easier to dodge.
But the problem is that she can't hide now, she must find a way to return the tear stone in her hand.
The only chance to get close to the black dragon is during those short 3 seconds before it spreads its wings and takes off!
In the first second, Xia Mo accelerated and rushed under Augustine's wings.
The second trick was that when the wings flapped downwards, she suddenly jumped up and grabbed the wings with both hands!
In the third second, her wings lifted up and she left the ground.
Augustine flapped his wings and flew high. Using these few seconds, Xia Mo swung himself above the wings like a swing and lay steadily on them.
At that time, Augustine was just an emotionless monster who only knew how to follow the routine. He didn't notice that there was no one below him. He still fell heavily to the ground! The ground, which was already cracked, became even more riddled with holes.
Hot magma flowed out from the cracks in the ground, and the walls of the cave began to melt little by little under the high temperature.
Hurry up, it’s too late!
Seeing that the cave wall was about to collapse, Xia Mo decided to give up crawling forward and instead stand up from his wings and run towards the black dragon's back along the muscle lines!
Running is not just about running forward. You also need to keep your body balanced during the running process to prevent yourself from sliding down due to any movement of Augustine.
Augustine finally noticed her, and he was already furious and almost went into a rampage!
"How dare you, you cunning ant, climb onto the back of my Dark Dragon? I, Augustine, will never forgive you!"
The dragon's wings vibrated, and it took off again, then swooped down fiercely, trying to use the up and down waves to throw her away.
However, Xia Mo held the black dragon tightly with both hands, and no matter how it swung up and down, she refused to let go.
His head was dizzy, but Xia Mo did not forget the most important thing - the tear stone!
How should we deal with this thing?
This was the first time Xia Mo encountered such a confusing task, and even though he claimed to be experienced, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
But no matter how upset she is, she will never give up until the last moment!
A pair of eyes carefully observed the black dragon's body, wings, back, head, beard, eyeballs...
Wait! Eyeballs!
After a closer look, she suddenly discovered that the light reflected from Augustine's right eye was not right.
Although both are red, the left eye is obviously brighter than the right, as if the right side is covered with a layer of shadow, making it hazy.
Recalling the giant skeleton's similar red eyeballs and the tear stone she had taken out from under the skeleton's eye socket, Xia Mofu suddenly understood. She knew! She needed to put the tear stone back into Augustine's right eye socket!
The skeleton monster took away Augustine's right eye and used it for himself. The proud dragon clan did not want outsiders to find out that its eye was injured, so it used something else to replace its right eye and temporarily stuffed it into the eye socket.
So that’s how it is!
Surprised, Xia Mo immediately rushed towards Augustine's dragon head!
But how could Augustine allow ants to step on his head?
When it found Xia Mo running towards its head, it shook its neck wildly, refusing to let Xia Mo get close.
With this swing, Xia Mo slipped and was thrown out in an instant.
Damn! Don't let down your guard at this moment!
Xia Mo gritted his teeth and adjusted his posture at the moment of flying out. He did not let himself fall straight onto the wall of the cave. Instead, he stepped lightly with his feet, then pushed hard with his legs. The whole person was like a spring, whooshing out again!
She grabbed Augustine's beard hard.
The moment she caught it, she quickly climbed up, but Augustine once again threw his head back in anger.
Xia Mo was swung in the air and felt dizzy. She felt like the overnight meal was about to be thrown out, but she still did not let go, and her eyes were fixed on Augustine's right eye socket.
Now is the time! Let go!!!
After keeping her eye on a certain opportunity, she suddenly let go!
At the same time, a palm-sized tear stone appeared in the palm of his right hand. Xia Mo held it tightly and used all his strength to insert the tear stone into his eye socket!
The Tear Stone is back! Mission accomplished!
"roar--!"
Augustine, who had regained his own strength, raised his head and let out a long roar. The hot air bursting out from his scales directly blew Xia Mo several meters away.
Xia Mo fell to the ground and rolled several times. Finally, she pulled out a knife and stuck it into the ground to save herself from falling into the lava.
"Oh human, it's you who brought back my eyes! Thank you, I, Augustine, will remember your contribution!"
Xia Mo got up from the ground, suspecting that what he had returned was not his eyes, but his brain. Otherwise, how could he have stuffed a tear stone into it and made it sober? He knew that the person standing in front of him was not his former enemy, Guyenne, but an ordinary human being.
After going through the motions and saying thank you, a series of rewards popped up on the system. Before Xia Mo had time to check, he saw Augustine suddenly bent down.
"Kind human, please climb onto my back. The nest is about to collapse, and Kangman Volcano Island is no longer safe. Please follow me and leave!"
I didn't expect that I just came here to complete a mission, but I ended up messing up the island like this. Xia Mo climbed onto Augustine's back, feeling a little uneasy.
Following Augustine out of the nest, the scene outside shocked her even more.
Because of the fierce battle in the nest just now, the volcanic island has awakened. Thick smoke billows out from the crater in the center of the island, covering the entire top of the island. The temperature of the air has also become higher than when we came. It seems that the island has turned into a steamer, gurgling in boiling water.
On the beach, countless schools of fish fled out and frequently emerged from the sea due to lack of oxygen.
The scene was so shocking that Xia Mo's guilt index soared as he watched it.
Sorry, miners and pharmacists, if you want to collect minerals and medicinal herbs from now on, you may have to move to another island...
The thick smoke was still spreading around, and soon, players in the southern port closest to Kangman Volcanic Island discovered something unusual.
World Channel: [Oh no, everyone! It looks like the Kangman Volcano Island is about to erupt!]
The players were shocked: "What's going on? We just came back from there and everything was fine! Who triggered the quest?"
Southern Harbor player: [I don't know! Anyway, I saw a black dragon flying away from the island with a person sitting on it. I guess he triggered it?]
Ahhhhh how could this happen!!!
Fenghuo, who was rushing to the volcanic island to collect volcanic rocks, saw the news from the outside world and was so angry that he staggered and almost fell down: "Who the hell actually awakened the volcanic island?! I will never reconcile with him!"
Onlooker Xia Mo: (Swallows) (Collapses)
