The door slid open.
A huge hall appeared.
There is a curved glass dome above the hall, and the faint blue light shining down makes the hall seem even more eerie.
Of course, the strangest thing is not the light in the hall, but the bloody human bodies standing in various positions in the hall.
These bloody people have no skin, so their blood vessels, muscle tissue, ribs and some internal organs are clearly visible.
At the same time, a faint fishy smell wafted out from inside, like the smell of rotten meat in the hot summer.
Chen Weihan frowned in disdain, approached one of the bloody corpses, and took a closer look: "Master, they seem to be alive."
Xia Yao walked over and took a closer look.
Indeed, the heart exposed to the outside was beating very weakly, and with each beat, the blood in the blood vessels flowed slowly.
While Xia Yao was observing, Chen Weihan jumped in front of several other bloody men to observe.
"Wow, Master, these bloody people's heartbeats are so fast!"
A bad premonition suddenly rushed into her mind. Xia Yao turned around sharply, drew her bow and released an "arrow": "Leave quickly, they are awake."
Chen Weihan is a hunter, and she is good at medium and long-range attacks. Close-range counterattacks are not her strong point. The two blood men closest to her suddenly attacked. She had no time to shoot arrows, so she had to draw out her dagger to barely block one of the blood men.
She saw another one about to pounce on her.
Suddenly, there was a whoosh!
[Soul Absorption]!
The blood man's movements suddenly stopped, and thin fragments of floating light flew out of his body and penetrated into Xia Yao's body.
She gains 0.5 souls.
Then, he fired a [Soul Corrosion], releasing the 0.5 layers of soul he had just accumulated. The arrow emitting a faint green light accurately pierced the bloody man's head.
Critical hit!
The bloody man's jaw moved, and he fell to the ground with a thud without making any sound.
Immediately another arrow was fired, and [Chaos Chanting] caused the blood man to be paralyzed for 3 seconds due to mental confusion.
Chen Weihan took this opportunity and took a big step back. She grabbed the round wooden bow from the air, and the huge arrow flew out like an eagle!
Bang!
One arrow shot to the head, successfully killing!
Although they hadn't seen each other for a year, there was no sign of unfamiliarity between the master and the disciple, and they still cooperated seamlessly.
Chen Weihan shouted happily: "Master~"
Xia Yao also responded with a smile: "Well, you played well."
Fortunately, she had quickly switched to the Exorcist Bard, otherwise, with the Bard's skills, she could only rely on delaying the opponent to death.
Chen Weihan also noticed the bow and arrow in Xia Yao's hand. She had no time to ask before, but now that the crisis was over, she asked curiously, "Master, your weapon..."
This was the first time she had seen a poet using a bow as a weapon.
Xia Yao said frankly: "This is my hidden profession, the exorcist poet, and my weapon is the bow and arrow."
Chen Weihan:!
I thought that being let down by my master in the arena competition was shameful enough, but I didn't expect that my master also got a hidden profession~TT
Even though she has reached the top of the hunter rankings, she still has a long way to go to catch up with her master.
Chen Weihan secretly encouraged himself in his heart to emulate his master every day in the future!
Xia Yao quickly scanned the hall and found that several more blood men showed signs of waking up. It seemed that this was the place where the blood men were breeding poisonous insects. As long as the time came, they would slowly revive.
Xia Yao raised the bow again, her right hand resting on the string, and a translucent arrow suddenly emerged. She aimed at a bloody man in the distance, ready to attack, and said calmly, "We can't stay here for long. Let's make a quick decision."
After saying that, a shot of [Soul Absorption] was fired.
The bloody man's movements were temporarily restrained.
Then change the target and continue to use [Soul Drain] to delay the awakening blood man.
Chen Weihan realized that Xia Yao's skill could not be used for attack but only for support, so he rushed to the long metal table, occupied the commanding heights, and shot the bloody people who were immobilized and stunned one by one.
There were about thirty bloody people in the entire hall, half of whom had awakened and were rushing towards them.
But it was useless to run wildly, because Xia Yao could always use [Soul Drain] or [Chaos Chanting] to hold them back at the critical moment, and then Chen Weihan would shoot arrows from behind, and the blood men could not even get close to them and were all eliminated.
As for the remaining blood men who had not yet awakened, it was easier to deal with. The hunter had a group attack skill of shooting thousands of arrows at once. Chen Weihan insisted on cleaning up the mess himself, so Xia Yao smiled and stepped aside. Thousands of arrows instantly spread across the dome, densely packed and full of oppression.
As Chen Weihan loosened his fingers, the arrows rushed towards the target like galloping horses!
Wushan Leng did feel a bit cold on his back, but seeing that the little frog was even more frightened than he was, he had to pretend to be calm: "Oh, we might have encountered a living maze."
Previously, the 1st to 10th floors were all dead mazes, and the paths wouldn't move. This time, after reaching the 11th floor, I guess in order to increase the difficulty, the maze was changed to a movable one.
The little frog nodded, thinking Wushan Leng's analysis made sense: "Then what should we do now? There are dead ends on both sides of the passage, and we can't get out."
You can't just rely on your poor development to get through this level, right?
Wu Shan Leng swept his flashlight left and right, and found that the paths on both sides were indeed blocked by walls. He scratched his head and said, "How about we feel around? Usually living mazes have hidden mechanisms or something."
If they find it by then, maybe they can escape.
The little frog hummed, then immediately hugged Wushan Leng's arm.
Wushan Cold:?
"Brother, what are you doing?"
The little frog said in a muffled voice: "...I'll go look for it with you."
He'd already shown his resilience by following the Guild Master through Plague City dungeons before; seeing that mutant nearly frightened him to death. Now that the Guild Master wasn't around, he stopped pretending and laid it bare: he was simply afraid.
Wu Shan Leng looked at the little frog pendant on his arm, speechless and amused. He was obviously the youngest, so how come he became the eldest brother?
Forget it, let’s go together. There are no monsters here anyway, so they can just look for it slowly.
In the darkness, a boy and a young man were groping along following the light of the flashlight.
Suddenly, the little frog's ears moved: "Listen, is there something?"
Wu Shan Leng stopped and listened carefully: "No."
After a pause, he teased, "Brother, are you too afraid of auditory hallucinations?"
The little frog was choked by being laughed at by people younger than him for auditory hallucination, and he didn't know how to explain it. Coincidentally, the sound really stopped at that moment.
Maybe he really was hallucinating?
The little frog closed its mouth and once again tightened its grip on Wushan Leng's arm.
However, the rustling sound was heard again.
The little frog shuddered and pulled Wushan Leng hard.
This time Wushan Leng heard it, but he couldn't tell where the sound came from. He asked the little frog with his eyes, and the little frog shook his head, indicating that he couldn't hear it either.
As the sound grew louder and louder.
Unable to identify the source of the sound in the darkness, the two men were so frightened that they stood still, not daring to breathe.
Fortunately, Wu Shan Leng still retained a trace of rationality. He whispered, "Get your weapons ready. A monster might be coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, boom! A hole suddenly appeared in the wall in front of him!
Countless shadows staggered out from inside, and Wushan's cold pupils suddenly widened: "Quick! Little frog, group attack!"
After saying that, he rushed out without hesitation!
All the bloody men in the hall were eliminated. Xia Yao found an exit in the hall leading to another place. She and Chen Weihan looked at each other and said nothing, but they cooperated tacitly.
Xia Yao is responsible for opening the door, and Chen Weihan is responsible for dealing with any monsters that may appear outside the door.
The door slid open to the right.
A narrow passage that can only accommodate one person appeared in front of us.
It’s not quite accurate to call it a passage. Strictly speaking, it’s a small path no longer than 1 meter.
Xia Yao observed for a while and confirmed that there were no monsters for the time being, so she stepped out first. Chen Weihan followed behind her, glanced at the hall, and then gently closed the sliding door.
As the door closed, the view suddenly darkened.
Fortunately, Xia Yao had the foresight to grab two glow sticks from the hall before leaving. She threw one out first, and the glow stick flew out, then hit the wall, fell to the ground, rolled to the side a few times, and finally illuminated something to her left.
Xia Yao held the bow, held her breath, and walked out of the 1-meter passage step by step.
The moment she dodged, she put her hand on the string, ready to launch a fatal blow to the thing in the corner.
She had already accumulated 5 levels of souls in the lobby, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to use her big skills.
Chen Weihan followed closely behind, ready to finish off the opponent at any time.
However, after Xia Yao rushed out, she did not shoot the arrow. Instead, she frowned and stared at the bloody man in front of her who had his eyes closed and was motionless.
Chen Weihan saw the bloody man and was startled: "Master, be careful of danger."
Xia Yao stared: "This seems to be the mother body."
With the help of the light from the glow stick on the ground, Chen Weihan lowered his head and found that there were densely packed red silk threads entangled underground. These threads extended along the floor, walls, and ceiling, leading to different directions. One of them led to the door behind them.
"So those blood people are being nourished by this mother body." Chen Weihan suddenly realized, "Then Master, let's act quickly, before the blood people in other places wake up."
She wasn't worried about not being able to win, after all, there were two number one on the list. She was mainly worried that the others who got separated wouldn't be able to hold on, which would reduce the number of people and make it difficult to pass the level.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yao shook her head: "With my eyes closed, the system shows that I can't attack."
Chen Weihan: "Then we...?"
Xia Yao: "Let's go, this should be the final boss, and we can't move it for the time being. Let's find other people first."
As soon as he finished speaking, several screams sounded behind the Boss.
Xia Yao recognized it as the sound of little frogs.
She was the first to squeeze through the gap between the Boss and the wall, only to see another passage appear.
At the other end of the passage, bloody people were running out continuously. Little Qingwa was releasing skills at this end, and Wushan Leng was throwing props in the middle. The two of them were fighting in a mess, and Wushan Leng's blood was even reduced to a low level.
Upon seeing this, Xia Yao quickly drew her bow and released her ultimate skill [Natural Disaster], which caused 750% spell damage to all enemy targets within 15 meters at the cost of burning 3 layers of soul and 50 points of magic. If the target was not dead, a soul corrosion effect would occur until the target died.
Boom, the skill exploded in front, and the bloody man fell to the ground instantly.
With only a wisp of skin left, Wu Shan Leng turned his head in surprise: "Sister?!"
The little frog also turned around in surprise, and soon his eyes were wet: "President, you are finally here!"
Seeing the little frog's disappointing look, Wushan's face turned as dark as a pot. He quickly took the medicine and walked over to the little frog and said, "I'm a dying man and I didn't say anything. Why are you crying?"
After saying that, he slid to his knees and hugged the thighs of the person in front of him tightly: "Wuwuwu sister, I almost lost sight of you~"
Little Frog: ...
Wushan is cold, you green tea dog!
The author has something to say:
PS: The place where Wushan Leng was first dropped was where the mother body was, but unfortunately he was blind and didn’t notice it, so he went directly to reunite with the little frog.
