Chapter 2023: Game (4)
Hemsis chased the giant spider and kept attacking, but it was basically useless, and his own blood dropped more and more...
Allen and I retreated together, constantly attacking, trying to kill it at the last moment.
Suddenly, the giant spider directed a stream of milky white liquid at Allen.
The liquid spread out in mid-air and turned into a spider web, which tied Allen up and made him unable to move.
By this point in the battle, it was completely out of control.
Then, the giant spider opened its mouth towards me again, obviously trying to spit out cobwebs again.
The moment it opened its mouth, I aimed the fireball inside its mouthparts and fired it.
The spider web tied me up, and at the same time, I saw the fireball explode in the giant spider's mouth, and the word critical hit appeared - this should kill it at once.
And Hemsis, who was following behind and slashing wildly, also exhausted his last health points and fell to the ground.
We paid the price of two lives to complete the copy.
However, before I could finish reading the news in my mind, I saw the giant spider shaking its head.
Not dead?
I took a closer look and saw that it still had its last bit of health left...
Ordinarily, my critical hit should be able to kill it?
Before I could wonder, a stone the size of a fist hit the spider on the head.
Then, the spider screamed and died.
This stone was thrown by the Minotaur child "Minotaur".
The stones he had thrown before were not big, but this was the biggest one he could lift.
"Ah! Success!"
The child shouted excitedly, then looked at us triumphantly and said, "If it weren't for me, you lame adventurers would be dead!"
As he said that, he pulled up Corsaron and Hemsis who were lying on the ground.
Strange to say, the two of them were obviously dead, but now they seemed to be "alive" like people who accidentally fell!
Then, the child Minotaur ran over, tore off the spider silk from Alan and me, and said, "Are you also here to look for the caveman's treasures?"
Allen said: "We were entrusted by the old village chief to find his lost grandson. It should be you, right?"
The child Minotaus said dissatisfiedly: "What does it mean to be lost? I am just out to take risks. You guys have no ability and dare to accept the commission..."
I looked at the scene in front of me with some dumbfounding.
"There were no spoilers in the guide before. We were told to experience the plot carefully, so that's what it meant!" Heimses said depressingly, "This big spider can't be killed at all, he must be the one to die."
"The legendary Emperor Minotaur has been extremely talented and powerful since he was a child. There is no need to portray him like this..." Corsaron put away his equipment in a depressed tone.
The child Minotaur seemed unable to hear our complaints, and continued to say to Alan: "You go back first, I will go back later, and there are some treasures hidden outside that I can't let you see."
Then, he ran out of the cave on his own.
Allen smiled and spread his hands, ready to rummage through the trophies left by the giant spider.
Since he is a dungeon lord, he should have decent rewards and be able to reveal a lot of good things.
Sure enough, beneath the spider's corpse were a handful of gold coins, two rooms of weapons and equipment, and a scroll.
"Poison Fang Dagger, Spider Eye Necklace... the equipment of the Demon Blade Assassin, well, the necklace is universal and has toxin resistance," Ailu picked up the equipment and said, "Also, the purification skill has no professional requirements, but only
If you can use it on yourself, well, this is suitable for Corsaron."
"It doesn't matter, it's not a national-level online game. Everyone can use the equipment interchangeably," Corsaron said, "This skill scroll is suitable for me."
"I don't know where a spider got the gold coins..." Hemsis said with a smile, "This kind of old-fashioned game can never be changed."
"It's not fun if it's too real. You have to skin the monster, cut its flesh and bones, and take it back in exchange for money. It's so troublesome..." Allen said.
After allocating equipment and gold coins, we released a copy.
The child had disappeared long ago, and it was obvious that we would see him when we returned to the village.
However, I don't have much game time left.
"Go offline when you return to the village." Allen said, "Come back tomorrow and we'll play tricks on the road."
I nodded, said goodbye to them, and went directly back to Novice Village.
After handing in the task, the old village chief felt relieved, but I didn't see the child Minotaur.
Although I was a little curious about the subsequent plot, I still quit the game and fell asleep under the hypnotic music played by the smart butler.
I "slept" until the next morning, and when the smart butler's alarm clock rang, I got up.
In fact, you can't call the alarm clock. After all, you can wake up directly by voice. Maybe you can call it a wake-up call service...
Get up, wash up and have breakfast, then go out and go downstairs to prepare for today's rotating resident group instrument training.
Surprisingly, today's resident squad leader is an elf woman, and the rhinoceros man who was my examiner the day before yesterday is the vanguard under her...
When the female elf saw me, she seemed a little curious.
"Venom Quick thinks very highly of you and says you're not suitable for teaming up with others, but I don't believe it," she said, "What do you think, do you want to try cooperating with my team?"
I said: "It doesn't matter, what I want is to go out and fight with the dragons with real weapons as soon as possible, instead of doing these fake training here."
"The training is fake, but the skills you develop are real," the female elf said, "Come and give it a try."
I nodded: "Okay."
Then came the basic physical fitness training, which was almost as difficult as yesterday, and the female elf herself also participated.
Despite her height of 1.9 meters and slender figure, she does contain a lot of energy and her physical fitness is quite amazing. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become the squad leader.
A thousand years ago, elves and humans would never be a match for orcs in terms of physical strength. However, the planned effects of genetic improvement and biochemical transformation over the past thousand years have evened out the huge differences between races.
Although they are not exactly the same, the gap has been greatly narrowed. For example, the female humans and trolls who took part in the assessment the day before yesterday were definitely not as powerful as men a thousand years ago, but their performance was already very close to that of men.
Of course, three thousand years ago, the situation was different - with ether and telekinesis, even skinny goblins and dwarfs could burst out with powerful power. That depends on their talent...
After a morning of basic physical training, everyone in the group looked at me with admiration. Only the Rhinoceros people had known my strength for a long time and were not too surprised.
When it came to the holographic simulation combat training in the afternoon, I directly teamed up with them to enter the air combat training.
The friendliness of the female elf team leader is not a bad thing for me, but it can't be said to be much. After all, cooperation with the team depends on the situation.
Captain Quick didn't want to admit me, a patient with an unstable condition. The female elf captain didn't seem to mind, but after seeing the cooperation of their team, I also noticed that she wanted to recruit me. The main reason was that her own team members were really not interested.
——Although the Rangers are the elite among the elite, there are also gaps between squads.
It's not that their team is much worse than the Quirk team, it's just that the Quirk team has a better understanding of each other and their performance is more stable.
The female elf team seems to lack enough integration, and perhaps it was just formed. I am not accepting Chu, but at least she is willing to accept me, which shows that I am not too late...
However, I still have no intention of compromising myself and will cooperate with them honestly.
Not long after the battle started, everyone was assigned five drones. I simply asked her to give me twelve drones, and directly pulled out Zhinao, the instructor and sparring partner who was watching the whole process, as a shield.
The female elf seemed to have read my training records and agreed simply.
So, I controlled these thirteen fighters at the same time, and surrounded a small area on the opposite side by myself...
The entire team was shocked by my operation. The female elf team leader asked other team members to cooperate with me, obviously to develop an efficient strategy.
However, I still feel that those uncontrolled teammates and their drones are a burden and hindrance to me...
So, I also let go of my hands and feet, actively entered the flow mode, and started killing everyone.
Soon, the battlefield in front of me was under my absolute control, and the twelve drones were more at my command than yesterday.
I even thought about asking Zhinao to add two more for me.
At the same time, the cooperation of my teammates also hindered my performance, which actually caused my enemy-killing efficiency to continuously decrease.
In the end, I "led" the team to defeat the dragon clan on the opposite side, and it took more time than yesterday...
When the battle ended, the female elf captain and others were silent.
Zhinao said very "uninterestingly": "The training is over and the battle ends three minutes earlier than usual."
I heard the female elf sigh on the communication screen.
"It's really not suitable, Bihun Duen," the female elf squad leader said. "I feel that you alone are a complete combat squad."
"I think so too." I said.
After the training, the female elf and the team members left, and the rhino man came over and chatted with me.
"I feel that you have improved a lot compared to the day before yesterday." He said, "I really don't know how you have such a high talent."
I said: "I want to know too, and I feel that I am returning to a certain state rather than making progress..."
The rhinoceros man was stunned for a moment and said: Your squadron leader should consider letting you form a separate team."
I said: "I also have this idea..."
After all, our friendship was not very deep, so we chatted casually and left.
It was still early, so I went back to the room to wash up. The smart butler reported to me today’s battle data and the female elf’s evaluation.
Chapter completed!
