Chapter 175 Extreme Fire Crystal, Entering the Crimson Mist, Player Shuohua
As time went by, Lin Xiaoxiao's petrification card and small-scale explosion card were gradually depleted.
Meanwhile, the mutated lizards continued to pour out from all directions, putting increasing pressure on Lin Xiaoxiao.
Shen Jue observed the situation and knew that if Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't find a breakthrough, they might lose their lives here.
She chose to remain on the sidelines and wait for Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao pulled out a dagger and plunged it into the ground. A powerful energy burst from the dagger, shattering the surrounding ground into pieces.
Lin Xiaoxiao, however, was unharmed because of the protective interface.
This sudden attack caused the mutated lizard's offensive rhythm to pause slightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the wounded man and ran, quickly breaking out of the mutated lizards' encirclement and heading towards the outside of the ruins. Since these beasts liked the center of the ruins so much, she decided to let them go. She wanted to take this man and leave this place as soon as possible.
Shen Jue watched calmly, realizing it was too late!
Watching Lin Xiaoxiao's figure rushing away, Shen Jue looked towards the center of the ruins, which was occupied by mutated lizards.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful lizard appeared from the entire mutated lizard swarm.
That's the leader of the mutated lizards, and also the boss of the killing battlefield. Now, if Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't have any trump cards, she might be in for a tough time.
The leader of the mutated lizards, according to his underlings, was the female player who escaped, who had previously injured many lizardmen.
The reason why the mutated lizards attacked Lin Xiaoxiao's barrier so frantically was because their leader was sleeping there.
Lin Xiaoxiao blocked the leader's escape route, so of course they would launch a fierce attack.
Now, under the command of their leader, the mutated lizards are flanking the fleeing player...
After all the mutated lizards had left, Shen Jue looked at the central area marked with waste signs.
Just now, Lili sensed that due to the frequent explosions, a layer of the surface of the ruins had been chipped away, and a powerful energy was emanating from beneath the central area of the ruins.
She aimed at the spot where the boss had been standing and threw a wide-area explosion card, intending to blow up the top layer.
Let's go underground and find out what's going on...
On the other side, Lin Xiaoxiao carried the wounded soldier tightly, not daring to stop for a moment.
She knew the mutated lizard leader would catch up soon, and they had to find a safe place before they could, and then figure out how to fight the boss.
During her escape, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly spotted a dilapidated building. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to hide inside temporarily to see if she could find a secluded spot.
They cautiously entered the building and found that it appeared to have been abandoned for a long time. Broken bricks and tiles were scattered on the ground, and the surrounding walls were severely damaged.
Lin Xiaoxiao led the wounded to a relatively secluded corner inside the building. She put the wounded down and then began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
After confirming there was no danger, they used their only two barrier cards and concealment cards.
Meanwhile, the mutated lizard following outside didn't notice Lin Xiaoxiao's sudden change of direction. She turned a corner and sped forward along the main road.
The boss noticed the dilapidated building and slowly walked in, searching it carefully.
Lin Xiaoxiao was tense all over. She knew her own limitations. She might be able to break through the encirclement and escape from ordinary mutated lizards, but the one that had come in was the leader of the mutated lizards.
Killing her would be as easy as crushing an ant.
She is not qualified to fight the boss alone because she doesn't have the strength. She has put most of her attribute points into speed, and only a small portion of her other attribute points are allocated to it.
Because Lin Xiaoxiao is a peace enthusiast, she doesn't like fighting and killing.
When faced with danger, the first reaction is to run. If you can't run, you have to create an opportunity to run.
She only ever believed in one principle: safety was only guaranteed when one was out of the enemy's attack range. Running away when you can't win, preserving your strength, is not shameful.
Lin Xiaoxiao could only hope that the cards produced by the game system could fool this boss.
Thud! A claw of the mutated lizard came into Lin Xiaoxiao's view, followed by its head and then its entire body.
The mutated lizard leader was face to face with Lin Xiaoxiao. Seeing that the leader had no reaction, it seemed that he had not noticed them.
If you haven't found anything, why are you still standing here?
The mutated lizard stared silently at the empty space in front of it, where there were obvious drag marks on the ground.
The marks are still very fresh, and it's very likely the hiding place of the player who escaped.
Why not let it try out its newly acquired power?
This mutated leader has a crystal on its forehead called the Extreme Fire Crystal. When the wearer uses the Extreme Fire Crystal, it will form unique skills based on the user's talents and will also be a source of power that continuously provides strength.
The lizard leader's greatest ability is camouflage, and its fighting ability is secondary.
Possessing the Extreme Fire Crystal, it also has a unique ability: to see through all disguises.
Lin Xiaoxiao's stealth ability was completely exposed to the leader lizard.
When Lin Xiaoxiao and the lizard leader's eyes met.
Lin Xiaoxiao's brain went blank on the spot. At this moment, all she could think about was how the leader had discovered them when the concealment card was still working.
Lin Xiaoxiao was very fortunate that she had used two cards. Although the Concealment Card was ineffective against the leader, the Barrier Card could still last for a day.
This period of time is enough for her to select useful items from the store.
The lizard leader saw the player and, without thinking, swung its claw at the barrier.
The protective mechanism of the barrier even managed to knock the leader lizard away slightly. If the leader lizard hadn't been so strong, that attack would have sent it flying.
The lizard that was thrown back realized that there was a protective barrier around the player in front of it.
During this time, she is invincible, and her defensive barrier cannot be broken in a short period of time.
The lizard leader has seen many players, and it has also killed many players.
Home. It was no longer surprised by the unusual methods players possessed.
Now it just needs to wait for the player's peculiar ability to end.
It can then kill this player to avenge its people.
It is truly a good leader; among the leaders on the battlefield, only it loves its people like its own children.
Therefore, the people under his command loved and respected him and all listened to him.
It was because of the presence of the lizard horde that he had a place on this battlefield.
The lizard leader waited patiently; he had the time and the energy.
The lizards that had previously overstepped their bounds have also received instructions and are heading back.
When the lizard army came to surround them, he didn't believe that this player could grow wings and fly away.
Lin Xiaoxiao watched as the lizard leader simply lay there in front of the barrier, without even launching an attack.
A bad feeling suddenly arose in my heart: Could it be that the leader had gone to shake the beast?
If she gets surrounded by lizards, it will be even harder for her to break through.
To leave this place, we must do so before the lizard chieftain's people arrive.
If we leave now, we only need to deal with the attack from the leader lizard. If we delay any longer, we will face an attack from the entire lizard swarm.
She didn't have the ability to protect herself under that level of attack; a slight misstep could have harmed the person who saved her life.
Now, Lin Xiaoxiao is checking the online store with considerable nervousness.
The traction lock is a powerful item. However, for boss-level enemies, it's only a one-time use item.
The price is high, but the value is low. No one wants to be a sucker like Lin Xiaoxiao, and she's no exception.
Lin Xiaoxiao wants some items that can both save her life and delay the boss for a long time.
After searching through them, I only found one ability card that resembled the Golden Bell Shield.
After reading the description, the Golden Bell Shield ability card can only help players buffer fatal attacks when facing huge threats, keeping them alive and preventing them from dying completely.
This card's ability, while not particularly offensive, can save its life. For Lin Xiaoxiao, who doesn't like fighting...
Survival is indeed the top priority; survival skills and items are always her best choices.
Ten minutes had passed, and Lin Xiaoxiao still hadn't found the prop she wanted.
Time passed second by second, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Lin Xiaoxiao had never felt that half an hour was so short, fearing that the swarm of lizards would arrive at any moment.
There were so many items in the shop that it was dazzling, and she had no idea which type to look at first.
Undeterred, Lin Xiaoxiao refreshed the shop again and again, hoping to try her luck and find some good weapons or even items.
After refreshing the page a few times, Lin Xiaoxiao discovered that the shop had anonymously listed invisibility cards, wide-range explosion cards, and barrier-countering cards...
These ability cards are being listed in the store like they're free, and one of them just happens to be the escape skill she needs.
The card with this ability is called "Show Off Your Skills Across the Arena".
Although the name is fancy, the skill description is quite practical. Using this card will immediately put you into a speed-boosting state for half an hour, granting you the ability to run away unnoticed.
It's a pretty useful escape skill. This running technique is obviously from a pro.
Lin Xiaoxiao was quite pleased to buy the cards.
After receiving the cards, Lin Xiaoxiao realized that her luck had turned around. Among the cards she bought was an especially powerful skill: the Lava Explosion Card.
As the name suggests, when this ability card is used, the surrounding environment will be like a lava eruption, with the temperature rising and a deadly explosive force.
The person who sold these cards is such a kind person; she doesn't care even though these cards cost her over a million gold.
Lin Xiaoxiao had so many gold coins mainly because she obtained a lot of rare materials from dungeons, and also because she didn't encounter any particularly strong opponents when she killed the Icefield Behemoth, and the materials dropped by the Edge Behemoth were quite rare. As soon as she left the arena, she put these materials up for sale in the shop.
Many big shots rushed to buy it.
That's how they accumulated millions of original gold coins.
It's worth spending over a million to save her life.
After buying the cards, Lin Xiaoxiao spent hundreds of thousands more on equipment with maxed-out defense, fearing that her lack of caution might lead to her death.
She had prepared a whole box of cards and bought more than ten sets of equipment. She refused to believe that she couldn't escape from the boss.
We can't waste any more time now; every second we leave early means less danger.
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the unconscious man and decided to put him into her spatial storage first.
However, to prevent him from discovering my secret, I first gave him a rosemary potion.
So that he wouldn't wake up halfway through and find himself in another space.
The wounded soldier was given a drug that would cause him to faint.
Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hand and put the unconscious man into her spatial storage.
Now that she's all alone, she's more likely to escape.
The leader was also stunned this time, witnessing the person lying there disappear, which was somewhat beyond his comprehension.
What kind of ability is this?
Is this a new special ability that players possess?
Will the attack be very strong?
Since he had never seen this ability before, the boss was a little panicked. What if this ability was very powerful? How could he possibly dodge it?
The fact that he's still alive and hasn't died even once shows that he's different from other bosses.
The lizard leader possesses some intelligence, but not much.
Taking advantage of the moment when the leader/boss was slightly distracted.
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly attached the "Flying All Over the Stage" card.
In a flash, it disappeared from the boss's sight like a big black rat.
Leader Lizard: ...
With such a powerful aura, it's only used for escaping?
What a waste of that ability to run so fast.
Alas, the lizard race is just too slow. If they were fast enough, they would have dominated the entire battlefield long ago.
If he could obtain an Extreme Fire Crystal and learn the techniques related to speed, that would be wonderful, allowing him to lead his people to fly together.
It's a bit of a shame that this player got away.
It doesn't matter, he has already memorized her scent and aroma, unless the player changes their own scent and aroma.
Otherwise, as long as she is still on the battlefield, he can sense her location.
Having successfully escaped, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly retrieved the wounded man from her spatial storage, hoisted him onto her shoulder, and continued running. During her escape, the man she was carrying appeared to be unwell.
He started coughing violently, then vomited, vomiting onto Lin Xiaoxiao's clothes.
Lin Xiaoxiao: ...
Fortunately, this person hadn't eaten much all day, and what she was vomiting was just bitter water; otherwise, she really would have gone crazy.
They found a flat spot and immediately put him down.
I spent half a day in the ruins and then another half chasing lizards. By the end of the day, I was truly exhausted.
This counter-barrier card is perfect right now, allowing her to rest without any worries and recharge her energy.
Lin Xiaoxiao cast a counter-barrier card on herself and another on the wounded soldier.
Unless the target moves out of the barrier on its own, attacks from other creatures will be reflected back at the barrier. This is practically a bug-level ability card.
These two cards alone cost 200,000 gold, while the Lava Blast card cost 600,000 gold. She had already experienced the effect of the Counter Barrier card, and she planned to save the Lava Blast card as a trump card for later.
