Chapter 17

Bloodthorn Vine! Wang Hai is completely bewildered!

"Boom boom boom!"

A fire mage who can unleash their full power is an absolutely terrifying war machine.

Fireballs were rained down like they were free, making Jiang Feng scream with pleasure.

For mages, shooting at these motionless targets is incredibly satisfying, even more so than putting them inside.

"..."

Jiang Yuyao, standing to the side, looked speechless, clearly finding her younger brother's ridiculous appearance quite embarrassing.

But since it was during a battle, she didn't say anything. She simply waved her staff, and beams of holy light shone down, causing considerable damage to the withered tree guards.

For a time, everyone was doing their own job.

This, on the contrary, made Su Lin seem like an outsider.

However, Su Lin didn't feel embarrassed at all. That's how beast tamers are. If there's anything, just let your beast pet handle it. It's easy and fun!

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Lin observed the equipment of the group.

The conclusion is drawn once again—it's damn good to be rich!

Having three pieces of gold equipment on myself is already quite extravagant.

But look at the brother and sister. They are dressed neatly from head to toe, with at least five or six pieces of clothing. Judging from their exquisite quality, none of them are less than gold!

Especially Jiang Yuyao's magnificent pair of breasts.

The collar of the platinum robe was slightly lower, revealing the bottomless snow ravine. A ruby ​​necklace, shimmering with a faint fluorescent light, was classically elegant and exuded a sense of spatial aura.

"Wow! It's so beautiful and so big!"

Su Lin sighed inwardly.

Such a huge ruby ​​would be worth at least tens of millions even as an ornament, let alone as a spatial artifact. Its value can only be described as immeasurable and priceless.

"This thing must not only be able to hold things, but it also must have some incredibly awesome special functions!"

"Sigh, such a beautiful baby, I wish it were mine. If not, just being able to touch it would be a wonderful thing..."

For a moment, Su Lin felt that the backpack on his back was heavier and uglier.

He didn't notice that Jiang Feng's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot, as if he wanted to smash a fireball into his head:

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you muttering about over there! What do you mean 'really big'? What do you mean 'touch'? Damn it! If you keep looking around like that, even if City Lord Lin were here, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"..."

Okay, that was a misunderstanding!

Su Lin felt somewhat embarrassed.

No matter what, being caught secretly peeking at someone is pretty embarrassing.

In particular, he clearly saw that after Jiang Feng finished speaking, a blush of embarrassment and annoyance appeared on Jiang Yuyao's fair face, and she glanced at him with a displeased look.

That look in his eyes practically screamed "scoundrel" onto Su Lin's face.

"Don't get distracted, get the output going!"

Fortunately, at this moment, Wang Hai, who was at the very front of the group, let out a low shout.

Jiang Yuyao and her brother then looked away.

The staff was swung even more violently...

"Boom!"

With two loud bangs, the human face on the withered wood warrior's body exploded instantly.

[Defeated a level 21 Withered Wood Warrior, gaining 661 experience and 624 pet experience.]

[Defeated a level 21 Withered Tree Warrior, experience gained...]

A dungeon is a dungeon—high difficulty, high reward.

The abundant experience points instantly increased Su Lin's and Xuanjia Shield Turtle's experience bars by a small margin.

The only thing that Su Lin regretted was that these two monsters were not killed by the Xuanjia Shield Turtle, so its evolution count did not increase!

"Sigh, system, you're still too rigid. How can you not count monsters killed by a team?"

Su Lin was just grumbling to himself, but he knew that if this counted, then it would be too terrifying if Lin Xiong led him to sweep through everything.

However, it seems that the Xuanjia Shield Turtle can also instantly kill monsters of the same level, it just doesn't have enough of them...

"Looks like we'll have to let the armored vehicles steal some kills."

Su Lin stroked his chin.

"Hello!"

At this moment, Jiang Feng looked over with hostility.

"Alright!"

However, before he could speak, Jiang Yuyao frowned and stopped him.

Jiang Feng immediately became displeased: "Sis, he kept glancing at you and muttering to himself. He's so creepy, he's definitely up to no good. How can you tolerate that?"

"I said okay!"

Jiang Yuyao raised her eyebrows: "Within the dungeon, killing monsters is the priority. Don't cause trouble!"

"..."

Jiang Feng's face turned red with anger. She glared at Su Lin hatefully. Although she didn't dare to say anything more, her eyes clearly showed that she held a grudge.

"Cough cough..."

Su Lin wasn't angry. After all, he was the one who saw the other woman's sister first, so even if it was a misunderstanding, it was normal for her to react that way.

However, he didn't intend to explain.

Often, other people's attitudes depend on one's own abilities.

No amount of explanation will change anything if you can't demonstrate the strength that commands respect.

Conversely, there's no need for explanation at all; the other person will change on their own.

"Let's keep moving forward."

At Jiang Yuyao's command, the team moved forward again.

With the experience gained from the first battle, the subsequent waves of withered tree guards were dealt with easily.

To be honest, Su Lin felt that this speed was a bit slow, but there was nothing he could do. Crimson Flame would need almost half an hour to complete its evolution.

The Xuan Shui Shield Turtle is not good at attacking; it only has one offensive skill and its mana is very limited, so Su Lin didn't say anything.

Anyway, you can gain a lot of experience just by taking it easy, so it doesn't matter if it's slow or not, there's nothing urgent.

"Be careful, the monsters are stronger this time!"

A few minutes later, the group encountered another group of monsters.

These are also two withered wooden warriors, but this time, their heavy bodies are covered with several strange, blood-red vines!

Bloodthorn Vine (Mutated Common Monster)

[Level: 22]

[Health Volume: 3450/3450]

These monsters, also around level 20, have almost half the health of the Deadwood Warrior, clearly indicating that they focus on attack!

"Su, your Xuanjia Shield Turtle will be putting in its strength later. Can it hold up?"

Wang Hai's expression was grave, as he was giving a heads-up.

In the previous battles, Su Lin saw that he was holding his own against two withered wood warriors with relative ease, so he barely let the Xuanjia Shield Turtle get close, focusing only on getting kills.

Since he's under pressure now, let's send the Xuanjia Shield Turtle in!

Su Lin naturally had no objection to this.

"No problem, let's start the fight."

"good!"

Wang Hai gave Su Lin a deep look, then charged forward with his shield raised.

In fact, he didn't really have much hope for Su Lin's Xuanjia Shield Turtle.

In his opinion, although the Xuanjia Shield Turtle is a powerful C-rank beast pet, its level is limited, so its defense is definitely not that strong.

The reason I said that on purpose was simply because I couldn't stand seeing Su Lin slacking off all the time.

Don't you see, after these few battles, Jiang Feng in the back was so dissatisfied that he almost ground his teeth to powder?

If it weren't for Jiang Yuyao keeping him in check, he probably would have already lost his temper with Su Lin.

This can't go on; it's affecting the team's performance.

Furthermore, he also needs to understand the defensive capabilities of the Xuanjia Shield Turtle so that he can make reasonable arrangements for pulling monsters when encountering elite monsters or even BOSSes later on.

"Shield Bash!"

With a bang, Wang Hai attracted the monster's hatred.

At the same time, the Xuanjia Shield Turtle crawled forward and slowly spat at another withered tree guardian.

"Swish swish swish swish!"

In an instant, the two withered tree guardians and the two blood thorn vines seemed to be greatly provoked, and launched a frenzied attack on Wang Hai and the Xuanjia Shield Turtle respectively.

-329! -573!

The next second, two numbers appeared above Wang Hai's head at the same time, causing his expression to change instantly.

"These bloodthorn vines deal such high damage?!"

As a level 25 A-rank shield warrior, Wang Hai was specially equipped by the Jiang family before his release, and his health was barely over 10,000 points.

Two ordinary monsters took away nearly a thousand HP in one round of attacks?

This is too exaggerated!

Nightmare mode, is it really that difficult?!

Almost instantly, the suppressed desire to retreat in Wang Hai's heart resurfaced!

These are just mobs, and they're already this tough. How are we going to fight the elite mobs and bosses later on?!

"Bang! Bang!"

Just then, the attacks from the withered wood warriors and bloodthorn vines on the other side landed on the black, shiny shell of the Xuanjia Shield Turtle.

"Yes, let's check how well this shield turtle defends first."

"Even if it's a bit weaker than me, it has an advantage in health as a pet."

"With it, if I'm careful with my positioning in the later battles and try to dodge some attacks, I might still have a chance to clear the game."

In a flash, a series of thoughts popped into Wang Hai's mind.

But in the next second, a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes, followed by a deep sense of disbelief!

"Where are the damage numbers? Why aren't they showing up?!"

"Could it be... that it can't be breached?"

"Holy crap! How is that possible?!"
