As expected of the meat of a strange beast rich in energy, after eating it, Gu Mian felt so good that she felt she could kill a fifth-level skeleton monster with one punch!
"I'm full and satisfied. Thank you so much, Sister Gu, for the generous hot pot feast!" Qin Huaizhou stood up, stretched, and then opened his spatial backpack:
"In return, I'll give you all of my little blue bottles. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
Gu Mian: "...Speak normally."
With such an affected tone, one might think you'd been struck on the head by a skeleton monster's steel blade.
Qin Huaizhou chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "I just saw your message in the group chat. I wonder what the extra rewards are for killing the big boss?"
"What big boss?" Gu Xiaobei also came over: "What boss are you talking about? Aren't there only skeleton soldiers? Sister Mian, I've given you all my little blue potions too."
Gu Mian: "They're one level higher than the skeleton soldiers, and there should be one on every floor. Also, why did you all give me the little blue bottles? Don't you want them for yourselves?"
“We don’t usually need the small blue bottle, so it’s most useful to you.” Xu Kun and Jiang Bai also came over one after the other: “Will the big BOSS respawn after being killed? Or is there only one per floor?”
Gu Mian shook her head: "I don't know about that. I only killed one on the second floor. After killing the BOSS, I completed the mission and was immediately teleported to the third floor."
"Hmm..." Xu Kun rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "Don't rush the BOSS, let's go and help you increase your kill count first."
Gu Mian nodded: "Okay."
They've been here for quite a while now, and not a single skeleton soldier has appeared. Since the skeleton soldiers haven't appeared here, they must be somewhere else.
It's impossible that they actually killed all the skeletons on the third floor. Besides, even if they did, they should have respawned by now, otherwise what would happen to the other players who entered the dungeon?
"Which way do we go?" Xu Kun turned to look at Gu Mian and asked.
There are more than a dozen passages leading to the center of the underground palace, and they are standing at the center point with more than a dozen options.
Xu Kun was caught in a dilemma.
"Whatever..." Gu Mian had just opened her mouth, about to say that any path was fine, when she heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from the passage on the right.
She frowned and turned to look.
Are they other players?
"Giggle!"
"Giggle!"
It was the sound of bones colliding!
Xu Kun and the others also became serious, and they tacitly took out their weapons and placed Gu Mian at the back.
Just as they were watching the passageway warily, the people inside didn't keep them waiting long.
In the blink of an eye, four people sprang out from the third passage on the right. The leader was Xing Zhao, who was holding an iron axe and had a cold look in his eyes!
"Oh?" Gu Mian raised an eyebrow, looking at Xing Zhao, who was covered in sweat and looked disheveled. "You're not dead yet?"
Qin Huaizhou: "..."
"My goodness..." Gu Xiaobei's lips twitched: "Sister, is this how you usually greet people?"
Xu Kun: "As expected of the woman I've set my sights on, she's truly exceptional!"
Of course, he only dared to think this in his heart; if he actually said it out loud, he would definitely be criticized again.
Jiang Bai frowned slightly. Why did this person look so familiar?
Xing Zhao: "?"
Xing Zhao was also taken aback when he saw Gu Mian standing at the back of the crowd. Hearing what she said, his eyes turned even colder. However, the sixth-tier skeleton soldiers behind them were too close, and now was not the time for verbal sparring...
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and raised his voice, "Everyone, there's a level 6 skeleton soldier behind me. He's the boss guarding this level. Defeating him will drop special rewards. How about we team up and take down the boss?"
Gu Mian nodded: "It's fine."
Xing Zhao was somewhat surprised. He thought that because of their previous grudges, Gu Mian would definitely interfere, but he didn't expect her to say that it was fine!
Before she could even feel happy, she asked again, "I wonder who gets the dropped reward?"
Xing Zhao: "Naturally, whoever killed them gets to keep them!"
Gu Mian nodded again: "Then how do we know if you'll go all out? Or if you'll just play it safe and wait until the boss is low on health to steal the kill?"
"I..." Xing Zhao was speechless for a moment. It wasn't that he couldn't answer the question, but rather that he really did have the idea of stealing kills.
That's a level 6 boss, which has only appeared in this dungeon so far. Who knows what rare items it will drop after you kill it?
Gu Mian: "What? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Xing Zhao blinked awkwardly. He was right, but he certainly wouldn't admit it honestly.
Just as he was thinking of how to make an excuse, skeleton soldiers began to emerge continuously from the once silent passage.
These skeleton soldiers, clad in heavy armor and wielding steel blades, immediately locked onto the few people standing in the center upon their appearance.
Then, the flames in their eye sockets flickered a few times, as if they had received some kind of signal.
Without any command or order, these skeleton soldiers spontaneously began to move, advancing in unison and quickly and methodically to surround Gu Mian and the others.
In no time, Gu Mian and the others were surrounded.
