◎A beam of white light pierced her heart from behind◎
"I'll do it, Great God, you step back!"
As a thief, striking in the dark is his forte.
He threw the flying knife in his hand forward.
Then it successfully threw away.
“Damn it…!”
Another mistake!
Cheng Tianxia looked ahead in disbelief, then looked at his hands.
He is a thief after all, how could his knife throwing skills be so inaccurate?
"Let me do it."
Xia Li strode forward and stood in front of him. Then, with her left foot as the center, she used her right leg to drive her body into a circle, and the two skills were thrown out by her easily like shot put.
There were two "puff" sounds, and the skill hit the monster in front.
Then there was the sound of bones breaking apart. With the dim moonlight, Cheng Tianxia gradually saw clearly the skeleton monster that had just attacked them with rockets.
The skeleton monster was not dead, but some of its bones were temporarily corroded by Xia Li's green mist, so they were half scattered on the ground.
It howled and crawled forward using its only uncorroded arm.
Although it was not the first time he had encountered a skeleton monster, Cheng Tianxia was still frightened by this guy, and his face was as pale as paper in the moonlight.
"Aren't you going to collect raw materials? Hurry up and get away from the altar."
Skeleton monsters basically only appear about 20 meters away from the altar. As long as you run out of this range, they will stop chasing you.
Cheng Tianxia responded and tremblingly approached the skeleton in front of him. Then, with a frown, he threw the skull, which was still making a hoarse sound, into the system backpack.
Because the first skeleton monster just now alarmed the enemy, more skeleton monsters appeared from the darkness one after another.
Fortunately, they were all ordinary monsters. Xia Li quickly observed them and found that as long as there were no elite skeletons, everything would be fine.
Miracle divides wild monsters into four categories: common, mutant, elite and boss.
Ordinary monsters are basically minions, and their health and attack are generally low. They are usually the main targets of players' monster-killing tasks.
Mutated monsters are basically mutated normal monsters, usually with enhanced attributes, like a significant increase in health or a sudden increase in attack. Generally speaking, they're not particularly difficult to deal with, and two players working together can easily take them down.
The most difficult monsters to deal with are elite monsters and boss monsters. The former possesses certain powerful skills, while the latter are basically equivalent to the boss level in the dungeon, with high health, high defense, and strong attacks. Some boss monsters even have a certain degree of intelligence. Without a good team, it is difficult for players to successfully challenge them.
Countless skills burst out like fireworks. Under the green light, Cheng Tianxia saw from afar her agile figure moving back and forth near the altar. The skeleton monsters fell one after another. Although none of them died, they had basically lost the ability to get up and attack her again.
Soon, her figure flashed behind a wall and disappeared.
Cheng Tianxia's heart skipped a beat. Something happened? Should I go help?
But as a thief, his stealth ability is not even as good as hers as an alchemist. Would he just be making things worse if he went there?
Just when he was struggling over whether to save her or not, Xia Li's figure quickly appeared from behind the wall again.
"Walk!"
She had collected 15 belladonna leaves and also brought Chengtianxia 3 more skulls. In the end, only 10 ground bee stings were left.
At this time, the game time was already past midnight. Cheng Tianxia took the three skulls she handed over, thanked her repeatedly, and prepared to rush to the next material collection point.
"Wait," Xia Li called him and took the initiative to add him as a friend.
"Really... Can I really be friends with you?" Cheng Tianxia was flattered.
When he thought about the skeleton monster's rockets shooting at them, he mistakenly thought that she could not protect herself, so he stepped forward to block the damage for her, but he didn't expect that his aim was so poor, and he ended up embarrassing himself in front of the great god.
Cheng Tianxia never thought that the other party would add him on his own initiative. He was extremely happy but also a little confused.
"You have a talent for refining equipment. Maybe I'll need you to help me customize it in the future." Xia Li saw his confusion and smiled faintly at him.
"Customized?!" Cheng Tianxia was shocked.
"Yes." Xia Li confirmed solemnly.
Perhaps he himself did not realize that although he was poor and down and out, and did not even have a guild to support him, these did not hinder him from displaying his unique insights into equipment crafting.
While other equipment crafters used the materials allocated by the guild to create ordinary-quality equipment, he had already learned to incorporate other materials into the regular refining process. Although this innovative process was both expensive and laborious, and almost caused him to starve to death on the streets of the royal city...
Xia Li looked at him silently. Perhaps because she had chosen a different beginning in this life, many events had changed as a result.
For example, now she has met Cheng Tianxia much earlier than in her previous life.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Cheng Tianxia licked his lips and said, "Then...if the Great God doesn't mind, I will do my best to make equipment of any attribute you want, and I won't charge you any money."
In order to collect skulls with enhanced properties, he had been fighting skeleton monsters at the Night Altar since the afternoon. He thought he could get a skull with the help of his identity as a thief, but he didn't expect that he was no match for a level 20 skeleton monster.
He spent most of the day, and until dark he still couldn't get a skull. He was about to give up, but unexpectedly ran into this great god named Xia Ri Lihua.
If she hadn't intervened in the end, he would probably have died empty-handed and returned to the resurrection point in the royal city like the previous times.
To express his gratitude, Cheng Tianxia volunteered to equip her for free.
"Could you please put on a high-defense armor?" Xia Li asked him, considering that her skin was still a little fragile.
"No problem, but when does the Great Master want it?"
"No later than 12 noon tomorrow, okay?"
If nothing unexpected happens, the dragon will completely wake up in the crater at 12 noon tomorrow.
"Sure! Don't worry, Master!" Chengtianxia patted his chest and ran away.
After leaving the Night Altar, Xia Li finally had time to pay attention to the friend list. 99+ friend requests had already filled up the notification box, and the time following these friend requests was all concentrated after completing the dungeon.
People are like this. If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you. If you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives.
Vice versa, when the four words "Summer Pear Blossoms" existed in Miracle like a cancer, those who had been close to her and treated her as brothers and sisters suddenly became strangers to her as if they had lost their memories, and some even took the opportunity to step on her.
Xia Li looked at the pile of densely packed applications expressionlessly and chose to delete them with one click.
Suddenly, she remembered something and took the initiative to open the friend blocking bar.
Sure enough, several messages came from the other side.
[Mantian Feixue: Lizi, have you ever completed a dungeon? Shocked.jpg]
[Mantian Feixue: Lizi, are you there? I want to ask you something.]
[Mantian Feixue: Our president wants to invite you to join our guild, the Blazing Flame. You must know it, right? It's the largest guild in Miracles, and the players there are all wealthy. Lizi, you'll definitely be treated very well.]
Mantian Feixue: Huh? You joined Fengyun Tianxia? Honestly, Fengyun Tianxia's ranking is still a bit low. A small guild has no resources and no strength. Your future growth will be greatly limited, Lizi. Why don't you join us? Hehe.jpg]
Join you and wait to be treated like garbage?
Xia Li carefully read every word sent by the other party, and a cold look gradually appeared in her eyes.
It was almost the same routine as in the previous life. They used the excuse that the big guild had resources that the small guild could not match and could help her grow faster, so they enthusiastically invited her to join the big guild as a friend.
However, after she quit the small guild where she had been for half a year and joined the Fiery Fury, she realized that the other party was not doing this for her own good, but for himself.
In her previous life, Feixue developed a liking for Long Yan, the nephew of Guild President Lieyan, and took the initiative to pursue him.
Long Yan initially refused, but eventually, unable to resist Fei Xue's repeated persuasion, he finally agreed. However, Long Yan was no pushover; he agreed to Fei Xue's pursuit only because Fei Xue fulfilled one of his conditions: allowing Xia Rilihua to join Lie Yan.
The reason is that the Flame Guild needs a powerful healing priest like Summer Pear Blossom to help with the dungeon.
Xia Li agreed and took Lieyan's teammates into the dungeon.
But Long Yan turned around and was extremely disdainful of her combat skills. He even accused her of hiding her skills in public and was unwilling to reveal her true abilities. He forced her to hand over all the high-level props, weapons and skill books in her backpack, and ordered her to hand over a pioneering plan that could guarantee 100% success before she would give up. Otherwise, she would be hidden in the miracle forever!
Xia Li naturally refused to agree to such an unfair clause.
Then Long Yan sent Feixue to plead for mercy.
It would be more accurate to say that he was threatening her in a different way rather than pleading for her.
Feixue came and held her hand that was injured in the battle, and advised her not to be so selfish and to think more about the guild as a whole.
"Lizi, Lieyan is different from your previous small guild where you can disobey the rules and discipline. Here, Longyan and the president's words are the authority, and you must obey."
It was not until then that Xia Li realized that everything her so-called best friend did was to win Long Yan's favor. From beginning to end, he never thought about her once, not even once.
People with different ideas cannot work together, so Xia Li chose to withdraw from Lieyan.
It was then that she discovered, by chance, that Long Yan was the man who, in reality, built Slum No. 36. It was he who had issued the policy that drove all the elderly and children, both widowed and orphaned, to Slum No. 36; it was he who had strictly enforced the area, isolated Slum No. 36, and left it to fend for itself on the edge of Tost.
Whether in the game or outside the game, everything shows that Long Yan is an arbitrary and violent person. If Feixue follows such a person, she will definitely become cannon fodder.
Before leaving, Xia Li thought for a long time, and finally told Feixue what Long Yan had done, and warned her not to get involved.
Unexpectedly, Feixue turned around and told Long Yan everything. Long Yan was very angry after knowing it and began to take various revenge on her.
Feixue didn't know that Long Yan was so angry about this matter. At first, she felt a little guilty. She plucked up the courage to persuade Long Yan and begged him to let Xia Li go.
But Long Yan not only refused to listen, but time and again slandered her in front of Feixue, saying that she was the one with evil intentions. He also pinned several notorious incidents in the miracle at that time on her head, and finally even joined forces with other players to encircle and suppress her.
Feixue was forced to give up persuading Long Yan, and finally stood on Long Yan's side and followed everyone to deal with Xia Li.
During a boss battle, she was accidentally injured. When Feixue found out, she immediately joined forces with others to lead the way for Long Yan and the others.
Although she hid very well, she was still found by them and was seriously injured under the siege.
But she was not dead at that time. After all, she was a priest with the strongest healing skills. She gritted her teeth and broke through the siege by constantly recovering her health.
Unexpectedly, after running for a distance, a beam of white light pierced her heart from behind.
She was very familiar with that light. It was the priest's only output skill - the Holy Arrow.
Before she died, Xia Li saw a woman with the ID "Mantian Feixue" standing where the light came from.
