Chapter 274: The Final Boss

Even though this black-robed wizard seems to be unremarkable, Ji Ruo knows that this guy is not simple at all.

Not to mention that he could sense the arrival of the Flying Needle Demon Bee swarm in advance, if it weren't for this guy's reminder, even Ji Ruo would not have been able to discover it.

Although Ji Ruo possessed spiritual awareness, he was not used to using it to explore his surroundings and did not often use this method. This black-robed wizard, who did not chant any spells along the way, actually had such a large perception range.

This alone is enough to prove that it is not simple.

Not only that, when the Flying Needle Demon Bee arrived earlier, Ji Ruo didn't hear what this guy was chanting, but he was able to directly open the elemental shield...

All signs indicate that this guy is definitely not an ordinary magician.

The previous threats to Lauren were probably not just talk.

At that time, this guy really wanted to kill!

As for what the other party said, such as "I just wanted to buy something, and happened to be invited by Emily, so I came", Ji Ruo didn't quite believe it.

However, for the time being, it seems that this guy has no ill intentions towards him, so Ji Ruo plans to see what the other party wants to do first. If it doesn't threaten him, it's fine. If it threatens him...

Ji Ruo narrowed his eyes slightly. If the time really came, he would have to show the power of a warrior in the Xingxuan realm.

The spiritual consciousness scanned again, and the place where the black-robed wizard was was still blank, as if there was nothing.

Apart from this, Ji Ruo could not sense anything.

The young man had a smile on his face, but he had already begun to be wary of the black-robed wizard.

As for Emily?

This guy is simply a rich girl who has read too many adventure novels. To put it nicely, she is simple. To put it bluntly, she is simply a fool and not worth worrying about.

…

"By the way, Xiaoli, what kind of god do you believe in?"

In the deep underground passage, Ji Ruo asked curiously.

It's no wonder he was curious; it was just that the faith Emily displayed was a little strange.

As a professional, you should only have one main deity to believe in.

But as for Emily...Ji Ruo listened to Emily's singing with an attitude of learning.

And Emily didn't avoid anything, so Ji Ruo couldn't be considered eavesdropping.

That is...Emily successfully released the healing spell several times, and the title of the god she chanted was different each time.

Ji Ruo knew that those irregular career inheritances were not particularly standardized, but this was too...

Besides, being a pastor is a serious profession.

"Xiao Li..."

The corners of Emily's mouth twitched. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of this title, a simple picture inexplicably appeared in her mind.

"I believe in the goddess of nature and life, She..."

It suddenly dawned on Ji Ruo that he was such a god.

But, goddess?

Isn't it the beautiful kind?

After thinking about it, Ji Ruo felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he lowered his head and started to stir the magic bee he had just caught.

He kept three magic bees, one of which was tied with a rope across his back, and he was trying to tie the other two to his waist.

The main thing is that these demon bees are still alive and can fight.

"Don't move." Ji Ruo said in a low voice, lowered his head and looked around, picked up a few small stones to block the muzzle of the gun, and muttered: "How can a gun leak bullets by itself? What should I do if I have no bullets when I encounter danger?"

Devil Bee: "Buzz~ (Devil! Devil!)"

When talking about the god she believed in, Emily didn't mind Ji Ruo calling her "Xiao Li" and introduced him to Ji Ruo with great enthusiasm.

It looks like he is preaching.

The black-robed wizard asked curiously, "I remember that the priest's faith is in the God of Light. Light has the power of purification, and evil injuries are eliminated under the shining of light..."

The hoarse voice remained the same.

Emily waved her hand before the black-robed wizard finished speaking and said, "I'm not that kind of priest. My healing skills mainly rely on vitality."

"I can see that."

The black-robed wizard tightened the flying needle bee that he had tied to his back with a rope and said, "This is the first time I've seen a healing technique that can even heal monsters...A normal priest's skills will cause damage to monsters."

Emily chuckled: "This shows that my faith is even stronger... Ji Ruo, do you want to believe it too?"

"ah?"

Ji Ruo was thinking about how to tie two well-equipped flying needle bees to his waist, thinking about performing a "double gun" trick when he encountered a monster again. Suddenly, he heard Emily ask him this question, and subconsciously asked, "What's the benefit of believing it?"

"Benefits?"

Emily scratched her head, apparently not expecting Ji Ruo to ask that.

How can you ask for benefits if you believe in God?

wack.

The black robe wizard asked with interest: "What benefit do you want?"

"You ask me?" Ji Ruo didn't even raise his head. After trying for a long time, he finally decided to stuff the magic bee directly into his trouser pocket. This way it would be convenient to take it out, but it didn't look very good.

"Then I definitely want all the benefits."

"Like what?"

"Like... Yo, Slime!"

Ji Ruo was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw several translucent gelatinous monsters wriggling by the wall. His eyes lit up and he rushed over to grab two fist-sized slimes.

Seeing this, Emily said with a look of disgust: "Why are you grabbing this? It's so disgusting."

Ji Ruo said casually: "I have an interesting idea. Let's try it out later to see if it works."

The three of them walked towards the second floor while chatting.

The overall structure of this dungeon is a spiral downward, and there are many monsters along the way. Fortunately, the black-robed wizard has a good perception ability, and except for the swarm of magic bees, the three of them did not encounter any other danger.

Occasionally, you may even encounter "gifts from nature", such as a wooden treasure chest placed in a corner waiting to be opened, and when you open it, you can get a variety of bottled medicines or something.

However, since it is only the first level, the quality of the medicine is not very good.

Ji Ruo looked at the turbid potion in the glass bottle with a look of disgust.

"How long has this been here? There's no production date or expiration date, and I don't know if it's spoiled or not. Is this a dungeon?"

There are visible fruit residues in the medicine, and it is obvious that it has not been carefully processed.

Emily nodded and said, "Although I don't quite understand what the production date and shelf life are, this is what the dungeon looks like, just like what's written in the book."

"All right."

…

Outside the underground city, there is a town.

Lauren, with a big sword on his back and bruises on his face, reluctantly spent money to buy a bottle of antidote. After drinking it, his swollen body returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If Ji Ruo were here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that the antidote that Lawrence had just drunk was indeed the bottle of turbid potion that Ji Ruo got from the treasure chest in the dungeon that made him look disgusted.

As the saying goes: Wherever there is a poisonous snake, there must be an antidote within seven steps.

Although there is no scientific basis for this, it is indeed the case in dungeons.

For ordinary adventurers, fighting against monsters is not easy and it is inevitable to get hurt, but even so, adventurers still flock to dungeons.

In addition to the rich resources contained in the dungeon, the most important thing is that the dangers in the dungeon are actually limited.

Otherwise, if it's just a matter of suicide, who would take the risk?

Isn't that boring?

In short, if you encounter a monster that can poison you in the dungeon, as long as you don't die on the spot, then after you survive it, there will definitely be an antidote in the subsequent "treasure chest reward".

Next... No, this is what it's like to enter a dungeon.

However, Lauren did not trust the ability of Ji Ruo and others, and was not sure if he could find the "level treasure chest" by following them, so he left early.

Although it is a bit painful to spend money on the antidote, it doesn’t matter. This loss can be made up quickly and you can even make a big profit.

"That girl named Emily, turned out to be..." Lauren narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding the shock and ecstasy in her eyes, and walked in a certain direction without saying a word.

After a moment.

"Are you serious? She is really..." A man holding a cigarette was shocked at first, and then asked suspiciously: "If it is true, you should understand her value. Would you be so kind to tell us this news?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?" Lauren said, "I am sure that I am the only one who discovered her identity. They are still in the dungeon, so it is a good opportunity to catch her.

If I hadn't been unsure of catching her in the dungeon and moving quietly, I wouldn't have come looking for you!"

The smoking man seemed to be deep in thought.

Lauren snorted coldly: "What are you still hesitating about? If we catch Emily, not only you and me, but also your brothers will not have to live on the edge of a knife anymore.

Catch her and sell her for a good price, and then use the money to buy a few small titles, and we will also be noble lords in the future!"

Hearing this, the smoking man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let's do it!"

Afterwards, several people conspired together, because they had cooperated many times before, and there was a basis of trust between each other.

The plot went smoothly, and before long, they arrived at the entrance to the Lahapa underground city. After the seven of them registered, they entered the underground city.

The geomagnetic energy in the dungeon is abnormally chaotic. Based on the situation during the Ji Ruo Wu exam, the location you enter is different each time.

Lauren said calmly:

"Their target is the ice bats on the third floor. They should be almost at the second floor now. Let's hurry up and go to the third floor to guard them."

The cigarette-smoking man nodded slightly.

One of the team members looked around and suddenly said, "I've been here before. There's a shortcut nearby that takes you directly to the second floor. Follow me."

Lauren was surprised, and then continued, "There are only three of them left. Emily is a professional pastor, but she has no experience and can't even perform healing spells accurately.

The remaining two people, one is a magician, wearing what seem to be magic props. It is unclear how powerful they are, but as long as the magician does not allow them enough time to chant spells, there will be no problem.

As for the last one… He is just a fighter who seems to have a special profession. He has strong strength and speed, but he is the only one. There is nothing to be afraid of. "

Lauren looked around and said, "This is their first time in a dungeon. They have no experience at all. We have been in the dungeon at least 20 times. We have the home advantage and overwhelming experience... Brothers, whether we are rich or poor depends on this wave. I hope you can show your true strength!"

The man with the cigarette clenched his fist and whispered, "We must get him!"

"We must win!"

After encouraging each other, they followed the young brother's guidance and headed for the shortcut.

suddenly--

Boom!!!!

There was a loud explosion, the earth shook, and everyone was shocked.

"What is going on!"

"Earthquake?! How can there be an earthquake in the underground city?"

The ground cracked and several people were caught off guard and fell into deep darkness.

…

Let’s go back in time a little.

At the entrance from the first floor to the second floor, a huge black wolf was lying at the entrance, as if it was resting.

"It's actually the Shadow Wolf."

Emily said distressedly: "Our luck is so bad. We finally found the entrance to the second floor, but it is guarded by monsters..."

The so-called guarding monsters are actually equivalent to the "bottom boss".

The Lahapa underground city has been explored to the eighth level, and many monsters guarding the levels have been killed, especially in the first three levels. Due to the high "traffic volume", although there is more than one entrance to the lower levels, there are also many monsters guarding the levels.

But in the first three floors alone, the monsters guarding the floors are almost legendary - because they are not difficult to kill, and their strength is limited, there are no monsters guarding the floors in most of the passages in the first three floors.

Of course, less does not mean none.

The processed voice of the black-robed wizard was barely audible as he said calmly, "The Shadow Wolf is extremely fast. My magic cannot hit it from this distance, and I am not sure I can finish the chant before it attacks me. I suggest you find another entrance."

"It doesn't have to be that troublesome, does it?" Ji Ruo said nonchalantly, while fiddling with the slime he had just picked up on the road: "It would be a waste of time to find another entrance. What if there are monsters guarding the new entrance?"

"But with our current team configuration, Shadow Wolf is very restrained... Hey~ Why are you still holding these slimes? Stay away from me, they are sticky and disgusting."

Emily looked at the string of fist-sized slimes hanging on Ji Ruo's body and felt disgusted.

The black robe wizard was also a little puzzled and said: "Slime is the lowest level of monster. It does not even have the most basic intelligence and can only act on instinct.

Its gelatinous body structure makes it immune to most physical damage, and it can only be killed by destroying its elemental core...

However, their elemental cores cannot be preserved, and are essentially elemental impurities. Even if they are used to make potions, the impure elemental forces will reduce the quality of the final potion and make it unusable... No matter how you look at it, slimes are not worth capturing."

Ji Ruo did not answer. He picked up a slime and brought it in front of him, looking carefully at the irregularly shaped elemental core inside its body.

The elemental core of slime is not only irregular in shape, but also in color. It is not a single element, but a mixture of multiple elements.

As a monster, slime can of course advance. The higher the level of the slime, the purer the elemental core.

However, it can only evolve to the level of a two-star monster at most, and the upper limit is not high.

“You will know soon.” Ji Ruo picked out all the slimes with reddish elemental core colors and tied them together with a rope.

The title of "Great Inventor" came into effect, and a small invention was made in this way.

Then, in the two people's puzzled eyes, he threw the slime skewer out.

"biaji~"

"?"

The Shadow Wolf raised his head with a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what was going on.

"Awoo~ (What's that sticky thing?)"

"Ji Ruo! What are you doing?!"

Emily lowered her voice and yelled, "Shadow Wolf, restrain us!"

"Oh? Really?"

It was as if he rubbed his hands together, and fine electric lights suddenly appeared and danced on his fingertips.

"Palm Thunder!"

…
