Instead of immediately returning to his self-built house, Yu Xiangnan squatted down to examine the puppets.
These puppets were cast from tough metal. The originally intricate metal pieces were tightly joined together, but as the thin threads broke, the metal shells became loose, and pieces of metal quickly fell off and clattered to the ground.
Is it completely unusable?
Seeing that Bula had calmed down, Yu Xiangnan asked, "Bula, I didn't see wrong just now, did I? The moment the puppet attacked you, it seemed like it was injured by something."
[Bula]: Hmm! That was a "reflection spell" that my master cast on me. My master seems to be one of the earliest players when the server opened. She's really amazing!
[Bula]: This reflection spell has a long duration and is not a one-time consumable spell. As long as it detects that the instantaneous damage I receive exceeds 35% of my total health, then these attacks will be reflected back at double the amount.
Yu Xiangnan was taken aback.
Is that how it is? She was wondering why she seemed to vaguely see the puppet bounce off an invisible wall for a moment.
She quickly jumped to where Wu Mu had just been.
Sure enough, the glaring bloodstains came into view.
She had seen detailed information about the profession of "Puppeteer" in the "Profession Manual".
The book describes the puppeteer's manipulation of puppets in great detail, mentioning that no matter what type of skill it is, the puppeteer will also be injured if the puppet is damaged.
As for the percentage of damage suffered, that varies from person to person.
The puppets' attack power had just increased dramatically, and the Sea Witch's reflect magic could deflect damage many times over. Furthermore, the [Puppeteer] was inherently fragile without the puppets' assistance... Wu Mu's health must have dropped significantly, leaving him no choice but to abandon the puppets and flee in panic.
Yu Xiangnan was lost in thought when suddenly, she looked down and found that Bula was staring at her with its big, bright eyes.
[Bula]: How about I acknowledge you as my master?
Yu Xiangnan looked surprised. "Don't you have a master now? Isn't the Vast Ocean Witch your master?"
[Bula]: What's wrong with that? There's no order of precedence in learning; the accomplished are the teachers. Although you're of a lower rank than me, you're more capable than me. There's nothing wrong with me acknowledging you as my teacher, is there?
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
Her answer seemed irrelevant, and she was unable to refute it.
"Forget it, I can't teach you anything."
Yu Xiangnan couldn't even imagine what a terrifying scene it would be like to teach and nurture students.
When it came time to fill out her high school college application, her parents wanted her to choose a teacher training program so she could become a teacher. She resolutely refused, and her parents didn't interfere further, letting her make her own choice.
"Bula, do you know about reward dungeons?"
[Bula]: Reward dungeon? I've never been in it.
Bula shook his head sincerely.
Yu Xiangnan didn't ask any more questions. After confirming that Wu Mu had left and was no longer secretly watching him, he quickly returned to his self-built house.
On this trip, she robbed the couple of a lot of items. Their card album had a lot of items, and it seemed that they were habitual thieves who had robbed many solo players by taking advantage of their numbers.
Unfortunately, Wu Mu appeared out of nowhere.
I wonder if the map of this instance will shrink; we might even face off against Wu Mu again in the future...
Thanks to the counter-magic of Bula and her master, she barely revealed her trump card this time.
Yu Xiangnan planned to rest for a while, at least until the cooldown of [Resurrection Song] was over before going out.
......
......
Temperatures have plummeted, with sub-zero temperatures persisting for several days.
The earth was covered with thick ice and snow, like a giant ice cellar, devoid of any life.
With only four days left until the exclusive achievement system for the instance opens, Yu Xiangnan checked her stats and found that her cold resistance was currently at 10%. The current temperature felt like a normal 16 or 17 degrees Celsius to her.
This level of support can last for a while longer.
Attention all players, new rules have been released.
[Player count detected. The map's movement area continues to shrink. Players must pay close attention to the public map at all times and must not linger outside the barrier. Staying outside for more than five minutes will result in automatic elimination.]
Not again?
Yu Xiangnan opened the map and found that the self-built house was on the edge of the barrier, very far from the center. It looked like it would soon be outside the barrier.
So she had no choice but to immediately pack up the [Enchanting Workbench], the [Random Supply Machine], and all the other supplies, and leave the basement.
Yu Xiangnan walked towards the center of the circle, traversing a vast forest. Suddenly, she stopped in front of a towering ancient tree, keenly sensing something amiss.
Parting the layers of branches and leaves, a hidden tree hole appeared before our eyes.
It appears to be a hidden map.
Should we go in, or not?
Judging from the current rate of shrinking, it will take at least two more days for the barrier to reach this location. She thought to herself, now that she's here, she can't let this golden opportunity slip by.
After all, the last time I encountered a "hidden map" was in the [Underground Labyrinth] in the first dungeon. Thinking back carefully, it had indeed been a long time since I had entered a hidden map.
"Let's go in and take a look."
[Bula]: Received!
As Yu Xiangnan stepped into the tree hollow, a burst of golden light instantly engulfed his vision, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
Bula followed them in.
—【Tree Hole Space】—
She held a small, broken shovel and looked around.
This tree hollow was enormous, covered with winding vines, and its dome was so high that no one could see the top. Faint light filtered in through the gaps above. Thick tree roots emerged from the cave walls and the ground, crisscrossing and intertwining like a giant dragon coiled up.
The ground was damp, emitting a unique smell of soil and decaying leaves.
Yu Xiangnan had only taken two steps when suddenly, she saw an enormous figure in the distance.
The surrounding air instantly became heavy.
That's... a bear?!
She immediately held her breath, hid in the shadows, and observed silently.
It appeared to be a massive bear, its body resembling a moving mountain, its thick brown fur gleaming brightly in the sunlight filtering through the gaps.
Could this be a bear den?
This scene suddenly reminded her of her childhood.
Luckily I have hair, otherwise I would have been hated to the max.
