Chapter 9
Su Xingyuan did not take the hunter qualification assessment, so he is not quite sure how his current strength would rank among hunters.
But he doesn't care. In this regard, players only look at the game level.
As everyone expressed that they were ready, the five members of the strategy team looked to the back, obviously not planning to go in first.
Standing at the end were two logistics personnel who were carrying supplies and were also responsible for following the strategy team to clean up the spoils. One of them was Su Xingyuan.
He said nothing and walked into the portal carrying his bags. But before entering the portal, he saved the game first.
Fortunately, there was no killing at the door. Behind the door was a dungeon-like environment with only a dark tunnel in front. It was very quiet and there was no sign of a monster.
He looked behind him and saw that the door he had just entered had disappeared. It seemed that before the BOSS was defeated, he could only enter but not exit.
Everyone who entered the door together carried a vital signs monitor to check the condition of their teammates. After discovering that Su Xingyuan and the others were fine, the five hunters from the strategy group quickly walked in.
There are five hunters, three men and two women. The captain is a dark-haired man who looks quite majestic. He wears light armor and holds a two-handed sword in his hand.
Su Xingyuan judged that this should be his main weapon, not the kind of emergency weapon, after all, the heavy sword is really heavy.
"Everyone, find a good output position, advance slowly, and follow our usual tactics!"
Several people immediately formed a formation in tacit understanding. It was obvious that they had cooperated with each other many times before and slowly moved forward. At this time, the two team members in charge of logistics fell behind.
After all, they are responsible for supplies and ordinary people need protection, and if they push people to the front, their intention to kill them will be too obvious.
Soon, they encountered monsters.
The sound of flapping wings first came from deep in the cave and reached everyone's ears in an instant. Only then did they see the dense swarms of bats flying towards them!
With this level of density, there must be at least hundreds of them!
If you ask hunters what kind of monsters they hate the most, flying ones would definitely be at the top of the list, and those that live in groups and can fly are even more disgusting.
"Lily, open the defense shield! The third one lures the monsters! Everyone else, attack!"
Hearing this, the female hunter named Lily opened her hands without hesitation and opened a translucent defense circle, while the male hunter called Lao San took a breath and roared. This sound attracted the attention of most bat monsters, and it seemed to be a taunting skill.
The five people are indeed a team with good cooperation and years of experience in strategy. They were not panicked at all when faced with this situation and released their abilities in an orderly manner.
The logistics staff behind them were not so lucky.
If it was an ordinary monster, it would be fine, but this kind of small monster can fly very fast and there are so many of them. Even if one or two of them run to the back, the hunter who is busy fighting will have no time to take care of them.
The other person who came in with Su Xingyuan was a young man who looked very young and had barely any muscle on his body. When he saw this situation, he was so frightened that he stood there in shock.
He watched helplessly as the bat that passed over the Raiders team left a series of afterimages on his retina, and then swooped down towards him in an instant.
...can't escape.
There is absolutely no way to avoid it.
He was sweating and his mind was blank. He couldn't even close his eyes subconsciously. He could only stare at the bat with its terrifying fangs exposed, as if he wanted to witness the whole process of his body being pierced by its teeth.
But the next moment.
A hand suddenly reached out from beside me.
The hand was white and slender, and seemed to have no strength, but it grabbed the bat's wings in an instant. The whole action even gave people a sense of casualness, as if the other party just grabbed it casually.
The frightened young man: "......?"
He turned his head blankly and looked behind himself.
The black-haired boy wearing thick black-framed glasses was tall, but he looked a little decadent because of his hunched back. He didn't show any sign of being frightened, his lips were steady and he looked so calm as if he was strolling in the campus that he was very familiar with.
Then, without any pause, he swung the arm that was holding the bat's wings.
The monster was slammed against the wall with a chirp.
By the time the black-haired boy put down his arms, the monster that had sneaked in was already in a dazed and half-dead state.
youth:"……"
No, you are worthy of being the one who dares to enter the portal!
Suddenly I feel like a waste QAQ...
Su Xingyuan has actually killed several monsters.
Each of these things is worth 20 experience points. Even if it looks small when viewed individually, there are a lot of them.
You should be able to reach level 10 before fighting the BOSS.
Su Xingyuan smiled at the ordinary person next to him and put his index finger in front of his lips.
The other party immediately understood and shut his mouth in fear.
Su Xingyuan had already leisurely picked up the pebbles on the ground and started to accumulate experience inconspicuously.
Moreover, he discovered that even if the small stone he threw did not kill the monster, and the monster was eventually killed by a fellow hunter, experience points would be calculated for him according to his contribution.
Su Xingyuan was also happy to gain experience for free here. After all, he didn't use any skills and didn't move. At most, he could just throw a few small stones and get free experience easily.
Soon, the hunter team killed all the bats, and the monster corpses fell all over the ground.
The logistics staff was responsible for checking whether there were any valuable crystal cores or the like in the corpses, while the hunter took out the supplies brought by the logistics staff and adjusted his status before continuing to move forward.
Although the supplies have been replenished, it is definitely impossible to replenish them to full capacity in this situation.
Even if they wanted to rest, the endless monsters would not give them time. The best option was to stay vigilant and keep moving forward.
"Your name is Xin Yunting?"
While there were no monsters around, the auxiliary hunter named Lily took two steps behind and came to Su Xingyuan. She said with interest, "I heard that you are very good-looking. Would you consider taking off your glasses and showing them to me?"
She had a pretty and lovely face, and she smiled sweetly when she said this, as if she thought he would not refuse.
"But," he said naturally, "I can't see the road clearly without my glasses."
Being politely rejected by an ordinary person, Lily couldn't hold on to her smile and said unwillingly, "Just for a moment, I won't be unable to see clearly..."
At this moment, a flesh worm suddenly jumped out from the wall and pounced on Lily from behind!
“Swish!”
It was the archer in front of her who reacted in time, grabbed the arrow and stabbed it hard into the body of the fleshworm, nailing it firmly to the wall.
Lily finally reacted and looked back with a pale face, only to see that the flesh worm was still alive and struggling, her face looked even worse.
The archer woman said coldly: "You are not a newcomer, don't you know that you should not be distracted in the portal?"
If it happens again, the worm’s mouthparts will swallow her head directly.
However, the woman was too lazy to say this. After all, they were just colleagues. Moreover, in an environment like the Paishan Guild, the hunters did not have much friendship with each other.
She turned around and glanced at Su Xingyuan with a warning in her eyes.
Su Xingyuan blinked silently and pretended not to see it.
It’s not his fault that there are rumors that Xin Yunting is good-looking. He just came here to take advantage of the opportunity.
He just noticed something in the wall, but he was too lazy to care.
In his eyes, these NPCs all have red names and are also shiny red dots on the small map. Their malicious intent couldn't be more real.
Their early death would have no impact on him other than possibly losing a few experience points.
Su Xingyuan looked at the health bars above the heads of the people in front of him and restrained himself with some regret.
It's still early.
The appearance of the flesh worms in the wall seemed to be a trigger, and soon they encountered small waves of insect monsters one after another. They also move in groups, and their white appearance is much more disgusting than that of bats.
"Fortunately, they can't fly, and their movements aren't very fast, so even if they have strong vitality, it's not difficult to deal with them."
Su Xingyuan didn't say anything.
He looked at those snow-white strips of meat and always felt that things were not that simple.
Sure enough, from a certain moment on, when the captain wielded the heavy sword, he did not feel the familiar feeling of cutting meat, but the force rebounded to his hand.
The man frowned and looked over warily.
The original flesh worms were covered with a layer of dark brown shell at some point. This shell was not only hard, but also made them blend into the environment. In this slightly dark cave, it became much more difficult to find them.
"Old Xie, come here."
The man called Lao Xie took out his knife and stabbed down fiercely, but still couldn't break the defense.
They all felt a chill in their hearts.
There is a default rule for those who enter the portal, that is, no matter what changes happen inside the portal, as long as you don’t know, you should consider the worst case scenario.
Because often this kind of change is the root cause of the attacking team's annihilation.
"Ignore them for now, quickly find the BOSS and open the portal!" the captain decided after gritting his teeth.
They had already killed so many monsters before. Even if they left these behind, as long as they killed the Boss, they should be able to reduce the magic power inside the door to below the critical value.
The original door can only be used for entry but not exit, unless the door turns from red to black.
After the strategy is successfully conquered, a new portal to the outside world will appear briefly. Researchers believe that this is a short-term spatial disorder caused by a sudden drop in magic power levels. This phenomenon often occurs with the death of the boss.
The captain obviously made the decision to kill the boss first and leave the portal.
As for whether the remaining monsters here will become a disaster or the fuse to open the advanced portal, it has nothing to do with them now.
The others looked at each other and didn't dare to stay and take the risk, so they all agreed to this arrangement.
The group began to speed up and head deeper into the cave.
The other logistics officer was a little behind and fell behind. He looked back and seemed to vaguely hear the sound of something flapping its wings.
He shuddered, and quickly forced himself to speed up and came to Su Xingyuan's side.
For some reason, he felt safer next to this young man.
