In a corner of the underground palace, Gu Mian, a dog, lurked around the bend in the passageway, peeking out with his eyes at a group of skeleton soldiers who appeared to be on patrol.
There were 15 skeleton soldiers in this group, not a large number, and she could take them down with some effort. But it wasn't a small number either, because it would indeed take a lot of effort.
After quickly finishing the remaining half of the sandwich, Gu Mian took out the Floating Light Glass Fan and swung it at the skeleton soldier at the end of the line.
[Health Points - 2000]
[Health Points - 2000]
...
The skeleton soldier was instantly struck by several beams of light, its health instantly depleted and it was taken away.
[Killed 1 Tier 4 Skeleton Soldier.]
[Current kill count: 10/100.]
The attack was silent and completely went unnoticed by the skeletons in front.
The ultimate skill of the Floating Light Glazed Fan has a cooldown of one minute. Gu Mian waited patiently, and after the cooldown ended, she hit the last skeleton soldier with the fan again.
[Killed 1 Tier 4 Skeleton Soldier.]
[Current kill count: 11/100.]
Although killing one monster at a time is a bit troublesome, it works very well, ensuring that she won't be discovered by other skeletons and then surrounded and attacked.
Two hours later, the number of fourth-tier skeleton soldiers killed had reached 99.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Mian gave up on immediately killing the last monster to complete the mission and instead chose to contact her friends first.
The skeletons on the first floor are tier 3, those on the second floor are tier 4, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the skeletons on the third floor will be tier 5.
If the skeletons on the third floor were also clustered together in groups of dozens like those on the second floor, she wouldn't be able to complete the mission by herself.
Furthermore, there's a Skeleton King on the second floor, and she wanted to see if there would be any extra rewards for defeating it.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Gu Mian did not complete the task immediately, but instead found a secluded place to hide and opened the group chat.
"What floor are you all on now?"
After a few minutes, other people in the group started to reply one after another.
Xu Kun: "Old Bai and I were desperately trying to escape on the third floor..."
Gu Xiaobei: "Haha... What a coincidence, me too..."
Qin Huaizhou: "Me too!"
Meizi: "I'm still on the first floor. There are so many fire crystal treasure chests here! I'm going to collect as many chests as possible before going up to the second floor!"
Gu Mian: "Um...is nobody on the second floor?"
This is troublesome. Even if she completes the mission and reaches the third level now, she won't immediately reunite with her friends. Moreover, there's a greater chance that she'll be hunted down just like them.
Most importantly, she was inexplicably interested in that Skeleton King...
It’s decided!
We still need to defeat the Skeleton King before going up to the third floor!
“[Location] I’m here. Meizi, come find me here after you come up.”
Meizi: "Okay!"
The location was sent, but Gu Mian didn't just wait around.
The backpack function has been unlocked, and she can now take out and eat all the delicious food she previously stored inside.
She had already digested most of the sandwiches she had eaten earlier, so she grabbed two meat buns to fill her stomach.
Once the hunger had subsided, I took out some strawberries to quench my thirst.
After we had almost finished eating, I was just about to ask Meizi where she was when I looked up and saw her panting as she ran towards us, munching on a small red bottle, followed by dozens of skeleton monsters and a skeleton king wielding a scepter.
Gu Mian: ...
Dude, you're really good at pulling mobs! You actually pulled a whole bunch of them over here!
While mentally complaining, he didn't slow down at all and cast a healing spell on Meizi first.
Over there, Meizi noticed that her health bar, which had been down to a sliver of health, had instantly been fully restored. She immediately turned around and slashed the skeleton soldier chasing after her twice.
The skeleton soldier that was struck didn't even have time to resist; it fell back to the ground and turned back into a pile of bones.
Knowing that someone was there to back her up, Mei Zi stopped taking any more red potions and plunged straight into the pile of skeletons to unleash her attacks. Her movements were fluid and graceful, leaving Gu Mian, who was hiding around the corner, dumbfounded.
Seeing that Mei Zi had almost finished clearing out the skeleton soldiers, Gu Mian hurriedly shouted, "Wait...wait a minute! Leave that Skeleton King to me!"
Meizi paused for a moment, then moved with ghostly speed, snatching the scepter from the Skeleton King's hand and interrupting its preparation to unleash a powerful attack.
Then he leaped onto the Skeleton King's shoulder, plunged his sword into its eye socket, and twisted it forcefully.
The Skeleton King let out a scream that sounded inhuman, and its health dropped by half in an instant.
After the Skeleton King's health dropped to half, Plum stopped attacking and instead drew her cleaver to continue attacking the remaining Tier 4 skeletons.
At the same time, Gu Mian seized the opportunity and swung her fan at the Skeleton King.
Several streaks of light shot out from the glass fan, heading straight for the Skeleton King's head.
[Kill Skeleton King*1]
[Obtained: Forging Table *1]
[Special item, cannot be duplicated.]
[The mission for this level has been completed; you are about to enter the third level.]
[Transferring...]
Gu Mian was stunned. Killing the big boss would actually drop a weapon-forging platform?!
Just as she was about to tell Meizi the news, her vision distorted for a moment, and she was teleported to the third floor!
[Teleportation successful. Current location: Third floor of the dungeon.]
[This level's objective: Defeat 100 skeleton soldiers.]
[Current kill count: 0/100.]
Gu Mian: ?
The task content is exactly the same, and you didn't even change a single word?
