Chapter 96
Ice protection!
Seeing the heavy object falling towards him, Xia Mo quickly activated his body protection skills in mid-air.
A layer of solid blue ice appeared in front of her, blocking the stones collapsing from the temple.
Plop.
Following the dark slide, Xia Mo rolled uncontrollably for a few rounds and then fell to the ground with a thud.
-400!
-550!
As soon as she landed, blood started to fall from her body.
Realizing that someone was attacking her, Xia Mo quickly got up from the ground and jogged a few steps to avoid it.
After running away and looking back, Xia Mo saw clearly what was attacking her. It was still a group of skeletons.
When they saw someone rolling down the slide, the skeleton monsters woke up from their slumber, holding various weapons and attacking the invader Xia Mo.
Also attacked were Sihai and Dorayaki, who were not completely dead.
Dorayaki is a sorcerer, and Xia Mo guessed that he must have learned some life-saving skills, so when he fell into the crack, he put life-saving skills on himself and Sihai, so that they survived.
But, it's just living.
Both of them had very little health left, and as they were constantly being attacked by the skeleton monsters all around them, their health bars were about to be emptied.
Soon, Dorayaki, who had a shorter health bar, died first.
Sihai, an elementalist, was still fighting hard. He drank a bottle of big red medicine to temporarily raise his blood pressure. Then, relying on the elementalist's equally good group attack skills, he blasted a hole in the encirclement and rushed out crawling.
He was just about to congratulate himself on his good luck for not dying, when the next second, another wave of skeleton monsters emerged from the darkness.
He had no idea where these skeletons came from, and before he could even feel happy for two seconds, he immediately started running away along the only path. While running, he turned back to attack, blocking behind him the skeleton monsters that were about to catch up with him.
When people are nervous, they do everything subconsciously. The same is true for Sihai at this time. He is worried that he will die and his equipment and experience points will be lost after he dies. He is so tense that he almost forgets that in this kind of one-on-many battle, it is very necessary to control the rhythm.
As he was throwing his skills, he suddenly realized that he didn't have enough mana.
Damn it! Why isn't it enough at this moment?!
He cursed in his heart, and since he had no other choice, he had to retract his weapon, hurriedly drank a bottle of purple medicine, and ran forward with all his strength.
If one could have a God's perspective at this time, everyone would find that about 30 meters in front of Sihai, there was a female star official also running.
Hearing the movement of the people behind him, Xia Mo put his hands together in his heart and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart for the selfless dedication of the wave of shields Sihai.
If he hadn't run behind her and blocked those skeleton monsters for her, she wouldn't be safe now.
Of course, making Sihai her shield was originally part of her plan.
After noticing that he and Dorayaki were not dead yet, Xia Mo immediately and quietly pulled a wave of monsters to their side.
There were too many skeleton monsters, and she was no match for them alone. As the saying goes, among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one. If she can't win, she should run away. It's only natural.
So after quietly directing the hatred towards Sihai and Tongluoyao, she slipped into the academy and escaped ahead of time.
Seeing her running figure in front, Sihai finally realized that he was being used!
He was so angry that his face turned blue and his teeth chattered.
"Mo Se, you villain, return the things in the golden treasure chest!" he shouted angrily.
Xia Mo pursed his lips and said, "It all depends on your ability to open the treasure chest. If you can't get it yourself, you blame me?"
"You...!" Sihai was so angry that he choked. "I think you're just jealous that we got the Tomb City clearance quota, so you deliberately followed us for revenge!"
Xia Mo smiled. "A guild that obtained clearance through unfair means is worthy of my jealousy? You think too highly of yourself."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for the people behind her to curse, she rushed out of the exit of the school, facing the sea breeze and sunshine, and jumped off the cliff with a whoosh!
The exit of the trail is a cliff, and below the cliff is the sea.
It was the first time that Xia Mo knew that there was such a map under the temple on Dazhong Island. He was surprised that the "Protoss" map was indeed unconventional, and at the same time he was glad that there was a small wooden boat docked under the cliff.
After entering the sea, she grabbed the side of the boat, turned over and climbed up, then paddled and moved forward quickly.
In the middle of the cliff, Sihai was standing at the exit of the trail, hesitating whether to jump or not. He saw her slipping away quickly, and when he turned around, he found that a group of skeleton monsters were about to catch up with him. So he made up his mind and jumped into the sea like her!
Plop!
Jumping into the sea, he tried to paddle his limbs to float himself up, but what puzzled him was that no matter how hard he tried, his limbs would not move!
He clearly learned to swim, how could this happen?
Just when he was wondering if his skill level was not high enough, his heart suddenly skipped a beat when he saw the health bar.
How could this be...?! He... is dead?!
On the sea, Xia Mo couldn't help but chuckle when he found that Sihai had not shown up yet.
This person must be a fool. His health bar is so low and he is on the verge of death, but he still dares to imitate her and jump down from such a high cliff.
Although there is sea below, it will not kill anyone who enters the sea, but after exceeding a certain height, the player's health will be deducted when entering the sea. For example, she just lost several hundred points of blood.
She has a lot of health points, so even if she loses 1,000, it won't be a big deal, but Sihai only has a little health left, so wouldn't losing 1,000 of it be suicide?
The more Xia Mo thought about it, the funnier it became, and his mood became particularly cheerful at this moment.
But the joy didn't last long, because suddenly, she heard a series of plop sounds coming from near the cliff.
Her heart tightened involuntarily, and she quickly suppressed her smile and turned back. This time, her pupils couldn't help but widen.
Those skeleton monsters are also jumping into the sea!
One after another, they leaped into the sea, and after entering the sea, they quickly floated to the surface, then paddled with a pile of white bones and quickly chased after Xia Mo.
Oh my god, this is even more cruel than debt collection! It's just a treasure chest, why is it necessary to go to such great lengths?
Xia Mo was speechless and increased the speed of rowing.
Although it is not as fast as the power boats used in sea adventures, Xia Mo estimated that the current boat speed should be around 1.5 gears of a power boat, which is not very slow.
She just looked at the map. She was now in a bay. Across the bay was the Pergas continent, which was not far away. At this speed, she could reach there in about 20 minutes.
At this time, her [Constitution] of 7.55 comes into play.
Rowing on the sea consumes more physical strength than fighting on land. If her physical fitness is relatively low, her physical strength will be consumed very quickly, and she may run out of physical strength before reaching the shore.
Seeing the continent getting closer and closer, Xia Mo's heart was beating fast. It was almost there, almost there. Just hold on a few more times. It wouldn't be too late to deal with those skeleton monsters after getting ashore!
As he thought of this, his arms rowed more vigorously. At this moment, a deafening splashing sound suddenly came from behind him.
Huge waves rushed towards her and the boat. Xia Mo couldn't avoid it and was drenched by the sea water. A lot of water also entered the small wooden boat.
But it's not a big problem. She is almost reaching the shore and it won't have much impact.
Xia Mo was not worried about reaching the shore, but was very curious about what was happening on the sea behind him.
"Human thief, return the treasure to the temple!"
As soon as she turned around, Xia Mo was faced with a huge skeleton that was so tall that she had to tilt her chin up.
A giant skeleton! Its skeleton is covered with smaller skeletons.
Xia Mo quickly realized that this guy was made up of the little skeleton monsters that had just entered the water.
Its skull was larger than the gate of the royal city, and its upper body exposed above the sea was estimated to be thirty or forty meters high. At this moment, it was staring at her with its red eyes, looking down at her angrily.
Xia Mo's heart skipped a beat when he was stared at by it. This was the feeling of oppression brought about by the huge level difference.
She didn't have this feeling when she fought the dragon in Dragon Valley. At that time, she was level 12 and the dragon was level 35. There was a difference of 23 levels between the two sides, but she didn't feel a chill down her spine.
This was not the case when they were dealing with the level 55 python at the entrance of the Jacate Cave. In fact, because the python was not a boss-level monster, but just an ordinary high-level wild monster, it was easier for her and Wenren Fei to kill it than a dragon.
However, at this moment, when Xia Mo threw out an appraisal, he received the feedback that [Level cannot be appraised]. Suddenly, his mood became not so good.
Only when the level difference is greater than or equal to 40 levels will the monster level be unable to be identified. In other words...
This giant in the sea is at least level 68 or above.
Xia Mo suddenly began to wonder if she had some kind of radar installed on her head, specifically to attract high-level monsters. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why she was always being chased like this again and again!
The wooden boat docked, Xia Mo jumped onto the land and ran into the woods at a high speed.
The giant skeleton monster then stepped ashore, but because it was so large and had a skeleton with too many gaps in its body, it could easily get caught on various large trees and vines. So after walking a distance ashore, it released some of the small skeletons on its body.
When the little skeleton monster landed on the ground, its size immediately shrank.
Xia Mo took a look and thought, isn't this delivered to her door?
With an idea in mind, she immediately pulled the giant skeleton monster into the depths of the jungle. The trees there were more lush and leafy. If she blocked the giant skeleton monster's way, a lot of small skeletons might fall from it.
The giant skeleton didn't have much brains and would just follow her wherever she ran.
Boom, boom, boom, the earth makes a rhythmic shaking sound under its footsteps.
An assassin player who was looking for a treasure chest in the jungle raised his head and stared into the distance.
"Did you hear anything?" he asked the person next to him uncertainly.
A soldier pricked up his ears, listened for a while, and shook his head: "No, did you hear it wrong?"
"How could that be? Listen again! Boom, boom, boom, it's getting closer and closer!"
Assassins have their own perception and are more sensitive to their surroundings than other professions. Seeing that his companions didn't hear him, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He continued to look forward, and suddenly, with his sharp eyesight, he saw a huge monster several hundred meters away!
His pupils trembled violently, and he turned around and shouted, "It's a giant skeleton! President! Vice President! There's a big boss in the southwest corner!"
Hearing this shout, Zhuye Zuijiu and Xiao Hongchen both raised their heads.
"Where is it?" Zhuye Zuijiu hurried over.
The assassin player pointed to the southwest: "Guild leader over there! Do you see that white head? It's moving northeast!"
Zhuye Zuijiu narrowed his eyes, his gaze penetrating through the layers of woods, and indeed he saw the skeleton monster that was taller than the hill.
Giant monsters are rare to come across, and if you defeat it, you will definitely get a huge reward!
Thinking of this, Zhuye Zuijiu immediately stopped digging for the treasure chest: "Melee fighters, follow my orders and pull the skeleton monsters. Ranged fighters, follow behind. Once you see a monster, pull it and focus your fire!"
The people who had been digging in the jungle for a long time but had not found a treasure chest were worried about having no place to vent their anger. When they heard Zhuye Zuijiu asking them to do something big, they immediately picked up their weapons and excitedly chased after the skeleton monster!
Xia Mo looked at the map again and confirmed that she was running towards the more densely populated northeast direction. The giant skeleton monster behind her was finding it increasingly difficult to move because it was blocked by the big trees.
So I took this opportunity to harvest a few small skeletons on the ground.
Killing the little skeletons gave her little experience points, only a few hundred points, but strangely, every time she killed one, the system prompted her to gain [Bone Grain*1]
Xia Mo, who had never seen what bone particles were, was just confused.
But despite her doubts, she still accelerated and ran towards the northeast.
However, at this moment, a variety of skills suddenly rushed out from the side, and those skills were aimed at the giant skeleton monster. The skeleton monster's hatred was attracted away, and the white skeleton no longer followed Xia Mo, but turned around and went towards the crowd attacking it.
It is normal to have monsters robbed in the wild, but what annoys Xia Mo now is that the group of people who pull the monsters are so brainless.
Didn't you see she was deliberately pulling the skeleton monster towards the deep forest? Why did these idiots lead it westward instead?
Going west, there is a big city - Baita City, which has a rich economy and a large flow of people. If the skeleton monsters rush there and rampage in the city, even if we confiscate all their belongings, we still won't be able to compensate for the loss!
I am speechless!
Xia Mo's brows furrowed, and he immediately sped up to chase after the skeleton monster.
At this moment, Zhuye Zuijiu, who had no idea what kind of disaster his actions would bring to the neighboring Baita City, was immersed in the joy of successfully pulling the monster.
"Xiao Hongchen, after this wave of monsters is defeated, remember to say a few good words for me in front of this old man." He grinned.
