Chapter 273 "I'm thin and small, and I don't look very strong"
There were quite a lot of demon bees, nearly two hundred of them densely packed together.
But Ji Ruo and others were hiding in the corner at this moment, and were able to effectively avoid the enemy's fire. Ji Ruo could hit the magic bee when he poked his head out, but the angry magic bee could not hit Ji Ruo.
In this way, Ji Ruo had a lot of fun, but the number of magic bees was decreasing rapidly.
Emily squatted aside and begged eagerly: "Let me play, let me play~"
The black-robed wizard said nothing.
Ji Ruo had almost finished playing, and the number of flying needle magic bees outside became sparse. Ji Ruo handed the dying magic bee in his hand to Emily with a sense of unfulfilled desire, saying, "We are out of bullets, so use them sparingly."
"?"
How can I save money when I have no more bullets?
Emily pouted, chanted the healing spell again, reloaded her gun, and then started shooting happily.
She imitated Ji Ruo and shouted: "biubiubiubiu~"
However, the demon bee struggled but did not shoot out any poisonous stingers.
Even when the demon bee struggled, the barbs on its legs scratched Emily.
"Ah!" Emily cried out in pain, "Why can't I type?"
"Stupid, press here." Ji Ruo taught Emily how to shoot, and broke off the wings and legs of the magic bee: "Press harder, otherwise it won't shoot far."
“Ahhh.”
Emily tried again and soon laughed happily: "Really? It's fun! The book is true. The dungeon is so interesting!"
Ji Ruo: “?”
So this is really your first time in a dungeon?
The black-robed wizard at the side silently memorized Ji Ruojiao's "launching method" in his mind, thinking that he would have the chance to try it out himself in the future.
At this time, the number of magic bees plummeted, but because they had no intelligence, they still chose not to leave.
Emily quickly finished a round of shooting. Although her face was pale and her forehead was covered with sweat, she could not hide her excitement.
However, his own mental strength could no longer support him to release the healing technique again in a short period of time.
Simply put, there is no fun.
And ever since she took over the 'living rifle', the number of demon bees has never decreased - she can't hit them.
Ji Ruo saw that it was almost time, so he reached out and picked up a handful of poison needles from outside - the magic bees never stopped attacking, nearly two hundred magic bees continuously fired poison needles, although they did not hit Ji Ruo, they did form a thin layer on the ground.
The young man held the poison needle and flicked his finger!
Finger-snapping magic!
bite!
The poison needle streaked across the bodies of the three demon bees, and finally sank into the stone wall, leaving only a tiny hole.
Ji Ruoyi grinned. This finger-snapping skill that he learned from flicking paper in the First Martial Arts School was quite powerful!
The black-robed wizard looked at the demon bee that had been shot down by Ji Ruo and was still trembling slightly on the ground, and finally had an idea.
The poison of this demon bee's stinger is not very toxic. After all, it is not a particularly powerful monster. It is barely even one star. It just shoots.
Moreover, the poison needles were produced by themselves, so they had a certain resistance. Therefore, even if they were shot down by Ji Ruo's precise shots, they did not die.
The black-robed wizard took one look at Ji Ruo, who was smiling extremely happily, and finally could no longer endure it. Anger rose from his heart, and he raised his long staff and -
He stretched out his reach from the cover, grabbed a paralyzed demon bee, broke off its wings and legs, and started playing a shooting game with it.
His voice was as hoarse as ever, without any emotion in it. His "biu~" sounded like his own electronic music, which was inexplicably handsome.
Ji Ruo raised his eyebrows and thought, so that's why. No wonder magicians always carry a staff with them, so this is their idea!
Come to think of it, when you are out and about, there are often things that are inconvenient to touch directly with your hands, so using a long staff to pick them up is just right...
Emily looked at the black-robed wizard's long staff, then looked at her own small and exquisite staff, which was only the length of her forearm, and couldn't help but beg, "Can you catch one for me too? I don't have enough mental strength..."
The black-robed wizard glanced at Emily, thought for a moment, sneered, raised his staff and pointed it at Emily, and said, "You can pick it up yourself."
"Thank you!"
…
The three of them are having a great time here.
The sting of this devil bee is only as thick as a toothpick and contains a paralyzing toxin. It doesn't hurt that much when it pierces your body. It's mostly numbness, followed by soreness.
And no matter what, being poisoned is definitely uncomfortable.
Lauren waited a long time for Emily's treatment, and the poison spread throughout her body, and her breathing gradually became heavy.
His face was blue and purple, his body was swollen, his heartbeat gradually accelerated as his breathing became more rapid, and his blood circulation spread the toxins throughout his body, and so -
As the toxin diffused and diluted, Lauren finally regained control of her body and stood up!
The poison is not fatal. They had been hiding before only because there were too many demon bees. Once poisoned, it would be difficult for them to move. It is still very dangerous in this dungeon.
Lauren waited for a long time but the treatment did not come. After waiting for a long time, she no longer needed treatment...
He walked stiffly behind the three people who were having fun and asked in a low voice, "Is it fun?"
"It's fun! Much more fun than what's written in the book!" Emily said happily.
The black-robed wizard also said: "This is the first time I know that the Flying Needle Magic Bee can be played like this! Hehe..."
There was a strange contrast between the unusually hoarse voice and the words he spoke.
Ji Ruo flicked his finger and ejected the poison needle without even turning his head, and said cheerfully, "This is so much fun."
Lauren finally lost her patience and roared, "What time is it? You are still playing! Don't you know where we are now?"
"ah?"
Ji Ruo turned around in confusion and looked at Lauren, whose face was still ashen. He said in surprise, "Why did you get up? Lie down quickly. You are poisoned and you can't move now... Then who is that, Emily, you cast a healing spell on him."
"I'm running out of energy. I need to rest for a while."
Hearing this, Ji Ruo stood up helplessly, pushed Lauren to the ground, and said, "There's nothing we can do. Brother, hold on a little longer. Our pastor is temporarily useless, and I, a useless fighter to begin with, am even more helpless.
You are the backbone of our team, you can't get into any trouble.
After all, I am thin and small, and I don't seem to have much strength. I can't even penetrate the monster's shell. I am not as good as your big sword... My grievance brother, please hold on a little longer. When Emily recovers, I will definitely give you the first healing skill."
The veins on Lauren's forehead throbbed violently. He tried to struggle away, but Ji Ruo forced himself to sit up. He struggled for a while, but failed...
He said angrily, "Get out of here!"
"Let go of what?" Ji Ruo looked puzzled: "I didn't use any force, Brother Lauren, I'm thin and small, like a monkey, I have no strength at all, you don't think I can hold you down, do you?
Brother, you can't get up because of the poisoning, it has nothing to do with me."
"you!"
Lauren glared at Ji Ruo.
He looked at Ji Ruo, who was full of sincerity, and then at Emily and the black-robed wizard who were already having a great time, and couldn't help but roared, "Have you ever been to a dungeon before!!!"
The three of them looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Ji Ruo: “No.”
Emily: "Although this is my first time, I have read many stories about dungeons in books before, so I have a lot of experience."
Black robe wizard: "I originally came here to buy something, but Emily asked me if I wanted to form a team, so I came here."
"???"
Lauren was numb, not only physically but also mentally.
It turns out that he is the only one who has experience in going to dungeons!
And how come these people, except Ji Ruo, all pretend to be very familiar with the dungeon even though they have never been there before!
His eyes turned and he stared at the black-robed wizard: "Is this your first time here?! Then why were you pretending to be so high and mighty before?!"
He was referring to the incident in which the black-robed wizard had told Ji Ruo to shut up.
"When teammates quarrel, you must persuade them. Is there anything strange about that?"
Lauren: “…”
By now, the black-robed wizard's unusually hoarse voice no longer had any sense of mystery.
These guys are just a bunch of newbies. Only the fighter named Ji Ruo might have some strength, and he is quite strong. Lawrence admitted that he had misjudged them.
But even so, he didn't think Ji Ruo was that strong. After all, he was a fighter, not a special profession. His limit was there. No matter how strong he was, how strong could he be?
He began to regret agreeing to form a team.
The main reason was that when Emily recruited him, she started using all kinds of high-end adventure vocabulary, some of which even Lauren couldn't understand, but he felt that it was powerful.
So Lauren mistakenly thought Emily was also a senior adventurer.
As for the black-robed wizard... To be honest, magician is a high-end profession, and the black robe he wears makes him look mysterious. His voice is hoarse and cold, so you can tell at first glance that he is a master.
As for the archers... forget it.
In short, with Emily and the black robe wizard, plus Lauren himself, there are already three masters in the five-person team. The team combination is also healthy. The mission is only to go to the third floor. If the three of them cooperate, it is not very difficult.
Plus, Emily said that if she joined, she could take 60% of the spoils.
Lauren was moved.
But what I didn’t expect was…
It turns out that those 'advanced adventure vocabulary' Emily mentioned were learned from books... and as for asking him to take 60% of the spoils, it was probably because she didn't want to take any spoils at all, she just came in for 'sightseeing'!
Thinking of this, Lauren felt both relieved and scared.
Fortunately, the problem was discovered early, otherwise I encountered it as soon as I came in.
If it was a little later, when they reached the second or even the third floor, they wouldn't even know how they died!
As a 'senior' adventurer, Lauren knows that personal force does not play a decisive role in the dungeon.
They are human beings, and their race means they cannot defeat powerful monsters alone, so they must cooperate.
After all, even a high-level magician needs enough time to chant magic in order to exert its powerful power.
Thinking of this, Lawrence, who was lying on the ground, suddenly calmed down.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late to discover the problem.
Emily was looking at Ji Ruo and the other two in surprise and said, "Is this your first time in the dungeon too? What a coincidence, I didn't expect it was everyone's first time."
Lauren listened to Emily's wise voice and finally calmed down. She lay on the ground and said calmly, "I quit."
"Ah? You want to quit?"
Emily was stunned for a moment, and asked hurriedly: "Why? Aren't we cooperating well?"
When talking about this, Lauren got angry, and his rage surged up uncontrollably again: "Cooperation? If the poison needles weren't so toxic, the cooperation between you and the Flying Needle Demon Bee would have killed me!"
Emily looked guilty.
"Anyway, I'm quitting."
Lauren took a deep breath and said, "Let me go."
Ji Ruo advised earnestly: "Brother, you are poisoned, you really can't move rashly..."
Lauren stared at Ji Ruo intently.
"Okay, okay, I'll let go."
Lauren stood up and walked slowly towards the exit with stiff steps.
"Take it, take it, I..."
The archer raised his arm tremblingly.
He also felt that it was not reliable to follow these guys, and his psychological activities were the same as Lauren's.
Lauren turned back and said, "I'm leaving now, but before that, we are still a team, so these flying needle bees are part of me, and I want to take them away."
He stared at Emily. "You promised me!"
There are soldiers guarding the entrance to the dungeon. You need to form a team to enter, and you need to hand over a portion of the spoils to leave, which is equivalent to the ticket money collected by the empire. If you don't pay, the soldiers will not let you out.
He was already upset about mistakenly joining the newbie team, so wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable if he was asked to pay for the ticket?
Anyway, almost all the flying needle magic bees were shot down, and those that were not shot down fled because the ammunition depot was emptied. There were so many of them, and the poison needles and the magic bees themselves were enough to pay for the ticket.
Hearing this, Emily subconsciously looked at Ji Ruo.
After all, if it weren’t for Ji Ruo, they would never have been able to defeat so many Flying Needle Demon Bees.
Emily is simple, but she is not stupid.
She tilted her head, her blond hair flowing, revealing a cute corner of her ear, which Lauren caught a glimpse of and her pupils shrank slightly.
Ji waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Okay, okay, you can take it... Brother Archer, you want to leave too, right? Then you can take one too."
The archer trembled and said, "I have a name. My name is..."
Ji Ruo nodded: "I know, Archer."
“…”
After a while, Lauren and the other man, who had almost recovered, left.
Emily looked around and asked cautiously, "What should we do? Should we go back and regroup? It would be dangerous for the three of us to go to the third floor, right?"
The black-robed wizard said, "It's a rare opportunity to come here, I want to go and take a look, what about you guys?"
Ji Ruo took a deep look at the black-robed wizard, and suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, now that I'm here."
Emily saw that everyone was going, so she went too.
"You can go, but there are only three of us left, so you must be careful next time. I have seen similar situations in books. You must not act alone... Goddess bless us, if we are lucky, we should be able to gain something..."
