◎【Abyss of the North】(5) Howl of Terror and Rebirth◎
"Damn it, there's nothing here!"
This was the third time that Yamato Mitsuyo had checked carefully. He looked from front to back, left to right, and found no trace of the monster.
"This is strange, could it be that we missed a clue?" He scratched his scalp hard and turned in circles.
"Hey, Yamato, don't worry," Murphy said, also searching for clues. But just as Yamato had said, the environment here was a little dark and cold, and nothing else. "If the three of us can't find it, how can the alchemists outside find it?"
"That's right, at least we are one step ahead of her." Thinking of this, the somewhat anxious Yamato Mitsuyo unconsciously felt mentally balanced.
"And the dungeon isn't time-limited, we have plenty of time." Murphy continued to comfort him and encouraged himself at the same time.
Unexpectedly, the next second, a man in a cloak stood in front of them.
Xia Li: "Long time no see."
Murphy and Yamato both took a breath.
"Damn, how come she's still alive?" Yamato poked Murphy's waist subtly with his elbow.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Murphy said in a bad tone, obviously she was also shocked by the person in front of her.
The whole place was so quiet, but Che An raised the corner of his mouth with ease.
"I'm sorry, we were too busy to take care of you just now."
Xia Li smiled faintly: "It's okay. I won't be able to handle the boss later. You guys can only wish for the best."
Murphy and Yamato:!
What a big tone!
"But it seems that the boss you are looking for is not here." Che An said.
Xia Li didn't bother to pay attention to these three people. Under their gaze, she walked to the center of the open space very calmly. As she recited a string of spells, the originally calm ground began to rumble.
A crack gradually opened up in the ground...
The black crack grew larger and larger, until in the end the ground was basically split in two, revealing a large and terrifying black gap.
Murphy and Yamato were slightly shocked by this scene and stared in silence.
Wow, it turns out a spell is needed to open the channel.
But how did she know the spell?
There was red in the eyes of both of them, staring at Xia Li with jealousy and unwillingness.
Of course, Xia Li would not tell them that this was the spell taught to her by Shenyinniao to open the gate to the abyss.
In the dark and boundless abyss, the devil in the mouth of the Shenyin Bird began to stir.
A brown, soft creature climbed out from under the gap. As the muscles of the creature expanded and contracted, the densely packed suction cups on it also expanded and contracted.
As another soft creature climbed up along the edge, Yamato Mitsuyo and the others finally saw what the boss was - a super-super-large octopus!
After all, he is an elite-level Boss, so Xia Li doesn't dare to act rashly for the time being.
She drank a bottle of purple medicine that accelerated her, and instantly rushed to the blind spot of the huge tentacle as if she was on a whirlwind.
Just when Yamato Mitsuyo and Murphy thought she was going to attack, they saw that she had no intention of making a move. Instead, she grabbed the tentacles and crawled towards the abyss.
"What the hell is she doing again!" Yamato Mitsuyo didn't understand why this guy always played cards out of the ordinary.
But after scolding him, he focused all his attention on Boss.
It would be better not to compete with them, so that you don’t have to worry about how to squeeze her out later.
So the three of them raised their weapons and began to besiege the two tentacles that were climbing up.
On the other side, Xia Li, who had already touched the edge of the gap, was not in a hurry to fight the boss. She lay tightly on the tentacles, her eyes constantly scanning the abyss.
Shenyinniao entrusted her to cut off the puppetry, and she had to find the source of the puppetry first.
Suddenly, below the abyss, she faintly saw a blurry orange halo, which flickered and seemed to be at a certain distance from the ground.
Xia Li did not hesitate. She loosened her hands and jumped into the abyss. Only a brief scream was heard behind her, and then there was only a buzzing sound in her ears and the increasingly thick darkness.
Seeing the halo below growing bigger and bigger, she activated [Glide] just before reaching the bottom.
With the help of her skills, she lowered her knees slightly and landed at the bottom of the abyss unscathed.
This place seemed to be isolated from the world. No sound could be heard from above, and there was no life around. It looked like a stagnant pool of water.
The flickering ball of light was right inside the cave. Xia Li took a deep breath, tried to lower her presence as much as possible, and walked in quietly.
The temperature inside the cave was much lower than outside. Some water droplets that didn't have time to fall froze directly, forming icicles above the head.
Xia Li always felt that these ice spikes would fall down on purpose. After thinking about it, she took out a steel helmet from her backpack. She bought it at the trading center at a very affordable price. She had kept it there before, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Once you put on a helmet, no one loves you.
She walked into the cave in two steps at a time.
suddenly.
[Original fungal erosion progress reaches 50%, your agility drops to 50%, and your health drops to 50%]
Xia Li waved away the system pop-up window without changing her expression or heartbeat. After turning a corner in the cave, she saw a huge irregular stone, or rather a crystal, emitting layers of orange light.
Wait, after observing carefully for about ten seconds, Xia Li suddenly discovered something.
There seemed to be tiny threads pulling out from within the translucent crystal. She walked closer to the crystal, observing the direction of the threads more carefully...
Behind!
She instantly distanced herself and unleashed her skills.
The poison gas caused two explosions, blowing away some ice debris and rocks behind the crystal.
She pushed aside the gravel and leaned forward to take a closer look.
I saw something that looked like a hose, but more like a blood vessel, inserted behind the crystal.
It is through this tube that the contents inside the crystal flow out continuously.
It's obvious that this is not a glorious practice.
So he threw a blue bottle to freeze the tube, and then threw a red one, and the frozen tube shattered with a bang.
The threads in the crystal stopped pulling out, and the originally flickering orange light ball gradually became stable.
At this time.
[Congratulations, you have completed the task of destroying the demon's puppetry, requested by the Godly Bird!]
[The manipulated Shenyin Bird finally regains her life. In return, she is willing to contribute her energy to you!]
【Do you accept the help of Shenyin Bird? 】
【yes】
In an instant, Xia Li felt a hurricane dragging her up.
She was like a leaf, a floating boat, carried by the wind, leaving the cave and the abyss.
Behind her was a cave that began to collapse automatically, and the ice spikes that she had been watching out for were falling to the ground one by one and smashing into pieces.
Soon, she was back on the ground.
Xia Li thought this was the help from Shenyinniao, but unexpectedly she received another system prompt.
[You receive the power gift of the Hidden Bird, and all personal attributes temporarily increase by 500% (limited time: 15 minutes)]
500%!!!
A full 5 times!
Xia Li couldn't believe that this was the treatment given by the elite association!
Go ahead and use it! What are you waiting for?
Xia Li, who was running at her usual speed, suddenly rushed in front of the tentacles. She raised her left hand and gently swiped it.
-4200!
-5600! Critical hit!
The three people who had been fighting so hard before, oh no, even dying, were stunned when they saw this.
Yamato: "Isn't it possible that I was dazzled just now?"
Murphy: "She's not human!"
Che An: "Yeah, it's a monster."
Xia Li, who had never dealt such high damage to a boss before, was overjoyed. Elite dungeons? Abyssal tentacle monsters? They were all weaklings in front of her now!
Speed, like the wind.
Power, like thunder.
Defense, indestructible by swords and knives.
Dazzling skills flew out from his hands, and the tentacles that were thicker than his waist were almost broken into pieces. The suction cups fell to the ground and squirmed desperately, but after a while, they lost their ability to move because they were separated from the mother body.
In an instant, the eight tentacles were reduced to pieces on the ground.
Well, there's only one head left.
Xia*Shashifengle* Li wiped off the debris on her face and walked step by step towards the big and soft octopus head that looked very easy to handle.
Yamato, who had been watching the entire process, trembled in fear: "How about... we just split the victory with her?"
Murphy: "...No, have you forgotten how badly she treated us?"
Yamato: "But at this rate, we're likely to continue being bullied in the future..."
Murphy: "Shut up."
Che An: "Continue to wait and see."
Here, Xia Li, who was about to make the final move with Big Head, slowly stretched out her hand.
Gas crit, go for it.
However, at this moment, the octopus let out a series of miserable roars, one after another, more shrill than the last. The earth trembled, and a strong wind blew violently from the abyss.
A terrifying feeling of fear spread throughout the body, and at the same time, a series of bright red numbers popped up on everyone's head.
The only difference was that because Xia Li had the defensive protection of the Shenyin Bird, her health dropped the least in the whole field, while the other three people were all left with little health.
The boss will basically amplify his skills before dying, which is a common setting.
Xia Li drank a bottle of red medicine, ready to put an end to it.
But she never expected that the terrifying howl was just a prelude, and the next scene shocked everyone present.
Under the huge, wriggling head, a tentacle sprouted in the blink of an eye, followed by the second, the third...
Xia Li rushed forward, threw out a skill, and at the same time drew out the warrior's broadsword to finish off the opponent.
Phew!
The first three tentacles that had just grown out were cut off at the roots!
However, her actions did not stop the octopus from continuing to grow. New flesh began to grow again from the cross-section that had been cut off. In just a few seconds, the three tentacles grew back intact.
What's even more terrifying is that no matter how Xia Li chopped or blew them up, these tentacles kept growing outwards like perpetual motion machines.
The power blessing of the Shenyin Bird has ended.
Xia Li stood in front of the arrogant octopus, panting.
Damn, eight of them, all full length.
This time, Yamato, Murphy and Che An, who were lying on the ground watching the octopus's regeneration, were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.
What the hell is this? Regeneration skills!
What the hell are they doing?
It is said that a man who knows the times is a hero. Murphy, who has always been strong-willed, finally agreed: "Che An... let's... get out of the fight."
They can’t beat them, even if 10 more come!
The team fell silent.
"Che'an, don't hesitate. I don't have much mana left. If I get hit a few more times like that, I won't be able to save you," Murphy practically begged. "Retreat, Captain. We really can't take this dungeon."
Yamato Mitsuyo also prayed: "Chean... I only have three bottles of red medicine left..."
He had never thought that this would be the situation, so he used the red medicine casually. Who knew that something fatal was coming next.
Looking at the health bar above Yamato's head, which was only a fraction left, and meeting Murphy's pleading eyes, Che An lay on the ground, clenched his fists and dropped them to the ground.
They had finally waited for this opportunity, finally able to attack Xia Rilihua, and finally reached this point, only to escape the battle like this...
He...he really couldn't accept it!
But what if you don’t leave?
Che An tried to raise his head, and in the shaky scene, he clearly saw that Boss was constantly launching fierce counterattacks against her.
-850!
-900!
-1800!
The damage to Xia Li was ridiculously high, and the health bar above her head dropped down like a cliff.
At this rate, none of them would be able to last even a minute.
But isn’t that just right?
Che An suddenly smiled ghostly. If they couldn't push the instance, they could just regroup and try again, but if she died in the instance, wouldn't that just be a perfect solution to their hatred?
He closed his eyes, thoughts racing back and forth in his mind.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
"Let's all withdraw from the battle." He said coldly.
