Chapter 62
The Goddess Luo Xi with a Stark Contrast
Hidden Map - Insect Sea Cave.
"go."
The necromancer girl controlled an army of skeleton insects to attack the two.
After a long stalemate, the three finally made their move.
The silver-haired, gray-eyed girl summoned skeleton insect soldiers that not only possessed the attributes they had in life, but could also use skills. A group of second-tier skeleton insect soldiers launched a charge, and their power was quite terrifying.
"Buzzing—"
A large number of skeleton moths, each as big as a calf, braved the wind blades and swarmed towards Xia Qinghou in the storm.
"Wind Blade Flurry!"
Xia Qinghou's voice echoed through the storm, and countless sharp wind blades shot out. If one blade wasn't enough to shatter the skeleton insect soldiers, then ten, a hundred would do the trick!
The skull moths were severely damaged and fell like rain.
But then...
Two enormous, bronze-boned, blood-red skull dragonflies flew at breakneck speed, braving the wind blades as they plunged into the storm and became entangled with Xia Qinghou.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The ground trembled and cracked, and several giant skeletal insects emerged, lunging at Lin Qingyan.
"freeze."
With just two simple words, several second-tier skeletal giant insects were instantly frozen in ice.
"roar!"
Two more skeletal flying insects flew in from above, their forelimbs gleaming with a sharp, cold light.
Lin Qingyan said calmly, "Here, we can remain still while flying."
The two skeletal flying insects plummeted instantly.
Lin Qingyan took a quick step forward, clenched her fist, and threw a punch.
Black lightning flash!
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The two skeletal flying insects exploded.
Pei Congyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he said sincerely, "Amazing."
then.
A flash of gray light appeared on the staff in her hand.
A large number of skeleton insect soldiers rushed towards Lin Qingyan, then emitted an eerie gray light.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!!"
The explosions continued, completely engulfing the area where Lin Qingyan stood, and the powerful blast waves caused the entire cavern to shake and tremble.
Wait until the explosion subsides.
A crystalline ice shield appeared around her, and Lin Qingyan, completely unharmed, looked up at Pei Congyun, who had a surprised expression: "You're not bad either."
"Boom!"
Just as the three were having a great time fighting.
The cave suddenly began to shake violently.
The three turned their heads and saw a large hole appear in the sky above the cave.
A giant insect egg, as large as a house and wrapped in black spider webs, fell to the ground.
Before the three could react, a corrupting mental whisper appeared in their minds, making them feel nauseous.
"It seems to be the boss of this hidden map. Let's stop for now." Xia Qinghou returned to human form and said solemnly.
A level 3 area boss is not easy to deal with.
Xia Qinghou: "I think we should join forces and talk about it after we clear the game."
"There's no need for that."
Lin Qingyan looked at the giant insect eggs and said calmly, "I can handle this by myself. Don't interfere."
Pei Congyun gripped her staff, her voice soft and gentle, "Me too."
Xia Qinghou: "..."
Who are these people?
Could it be that among the three of us, I, who am known as the number one genius in Nanjiang City, am the weakest?
"Sizzle..."
A large number of giant worms crawled out of it, revealing their ferocious mouthparts as they crawled toward the three people.
…………
Lost Giant Tree, deep within the seventh level, the entrance to Flower Ruins.
Wu Ping, carrying a greatsword, arrived here and breathed a sigh of relief.
"We've finally arrived."
"Teacher, it's all thanks to your investigation."
He didn't even dare to think about it.
If he hadn't listened to the old man and stepped into that trap room, he would have been teleported to the seventh floor.
If it weren't for the old man's reminder to avoid the ferocious beasts and dangers along the way, he probably would have been eliminated long ago.
This is the opportunity that was destined for me!
As expected, I am the protagonist of this world, the one destined by fate.
The boy thought to himself with delight.
The old man's voice echoed in her mind, "Don't relax, there will definitely be guards here..."
Before the words were finished, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and crashed onto the road in front of them.
"Bang!"
The ground cracked and the wind howled.
Wu Ping looked up.
This monster was seven or eight meters tall, its body was pitch black as if it were wearing hard armor, it had huge insect horns, it held a long spear, and it exuded a fierce and terrifying aura.
[Abyssal Beast]: Dark Beetle Knight
[Rank]: Elite.
[Level]: LV25.
[Skills]: Thrust, Slash, Might, Berserk, Shockwave, Beetle Dance, Dark Devour.
[Evaluation]: This mutated beetle, corrupted by darkness, possesses extremely powerful combat abilities...
"hiss……"
Wu Ping gasped.
He's only LV10 now, and even with the rare hidden class - Spellbreaker Swordsman and S-rank talent, he's definitely no match for this elite monster in front of him.
"Teacher... what should we do now?"
The elder from the spiritual realm spoke up: "There's no other way. You're sure you can't handle this. I'll have to temporarily take over your body."
"But teacher, won't doing this consume your soul?"
"There will be some costs, but compared to the benefits, it's worth it."
"Really? What's up ahead?"
As the old man took over Wu Ping's body, he said, "I'm afraid even the person who set up this instance didn't expect that I only found out about it by chance."
"A stunning secret is hidden in the ruins before you, one that will not only allow you to rise again, but is also crucial to my resurgence."
"Now that we've come this far, we can't give up halfway."
As he spoke, a pale soul aura emanated from Wu Ping's body. He opened his eyes again, and they turned an eerie white. His hair fluttered, and he emitted a powerful spiritual fluctuation.
"Haven't made a move in a long time."
"Wu Ping" said to the dark, mutated beetle in front of him.
"This place... is off-limits..."
The dark, mutated beetle took a step forward and lunged at him with its spear.
…………
"Waaaaah... I've been seen naked, completely naked... I'll never get married... Waaaaah..."
Luo Xi sat on a broken log and burst into tears.
Jiang Yuan stood to the side, lighting a campfire and eating roasted insects, looking completely speechless.
"Didn't I already say I didn't do it on purpose?"
"Waaaaah..."
Hearing him speak, Luo Xi cried even louder, large tears rolling down her alluring yet innocent face.
She cried with tears streaming down her face, looking like a child who had suffered a great injustice.
Jiang Yuan hadn't expected this either.
Luo Xi, who was dubbed a seductive goddess at school, possessing both pure and cold allure, rational beauty, and a mature and sophisticated woman, actually had such a contrasting side.
If the boys and girls in school who admire her saw this, they would be absolutely stunned.
"...Waaaaah... Not only were all my secrets exposed, but my mental strength has also decreased, my mental domain is damaged, and my teleportation stone has been blown away somewhere... Why am I so unlucky..."
Luo Xi's eyes were red from crying, and her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.
Jiang Yuan felt a pang of sympathy for him.
"Alright, stop crying, eat something first."
He handed him a skewer of grilled meat.
Luo Xi, who had been starving for a long time, took a bite and then cried again.
"Waaaah...it has no taste at all..."
As the daughter of an eighth-tier mental powerhouse, a wealthy young lady, the school's most admired goddess, and a sought-after genius, this was the first time she had ever suffered so much in a single day.
puff.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It's not that he has a low threshold for laughter, but he just couldn't help it.
The usually aloof and unapproachable school beauty, who is like a flower on a high mountain, is now crying her eyes out – it's so funny!
