Sword Spectre and the other three were focused on clearing the monsters in front and had no time to pay attention to what was behind them. Moreover, they were not as stubborn as Mr. Han, who thought that they should focus on watching others work even if they had nothing better to do.
The party advanced deeper into the Black Dragon Cave. Mr. Han had always wanted to find a chance to teach Gu Fei a lesson, but he knew that he would not have the chance this time. The deeper they went into the cave, the higher the level of the monsters and the denser they were. If they wanted to advance without alerting any extra monsters, they could not even take a wrong step.
They had to fight their way to the deepest part of the cave. There was a stone door there, but the small boss guarding the mechanism was also quite strong. After dealing with it and opening the mechanism of the stone door, they would reach Suo Tu's one-room house.
Mr. Han calculated their progress and time, but did not know that something had happened behind them.
The path in the cave was difficult, one foot high and one foot low.
The employer was careless and stepped on empty air. His body staggered and stumbled a few steps to the side.
"Be careful!" Gu Fei saw that he only lost his balance and did not fall, so he only reminded him.
The employer steadied his steps and thanked him. But at this moment, Gu Fei suddenly felt that something was wrong in the darkness behind the employer.
"Get out of the way!" Gu Fei yelled and dashed over.
Before the employer could react, he saw Gu Feifei sweep past him like the wind, landing behind him.
"Ding …" The crisp sound of a sword clashing could be heard. Gu Fei's sword was already out of its scabbard and collided with a shadow in the darkness.
"Go, don't help me!" Gu Fei turned around and said.
"F * ck!" Gu Fei yelled after turning around. The guy had already run far away and had no intention of helping Gu Fei. From his point of view, since Gu Fei and the others were hired to help him, they had the responsibility and obligation to protect him, so Gu Fei's help was necessary. As for him helping him? F * ck! If I could deal with these monsters, why would I hire you? The employer thought.
"Alright, you can continue on your way!" Gu Fei said to the kid as he casually accepted the challenge.
The employer walked away in a daze, slightly confused. Wasn't that guy a Magician? Why did he look like he was fighting a monster in close combat? Oh! He moved closer to pull aggro from the monsters, causing them to quickly shift their attention from me to him. As expected of an expert.
The employer hurriedly chased after the main force, leaving Gu Fei to face the enemy alone.
It was not easy to fight in the dark, so Gu Fei retreated as he fought. Gradually, he returned to the middle of the road. There was some light here, and Gu Fei could finally see his opponent clearly. He was also a bandit, but he was dressed in blue.
What does blue clothing mean? It was the same as the blue name in normal online games. In the holographic online game, NPCs no longer had names above their heads. Of course, it was no longer possible to distinguish between blue and gold names. Carving words such as "Big Boss", "Mini Boss", and "Blue Monster" on the player's face didn't seem appropriate either. In the end, the game company decided to use the player's appearance to reflect this.
The bandit in front of him was a small blue monster.
Thinking about it, this was the first time Gu Fei was lucky enough to encounter a blue monster. He couldn't help but be a little excited.
Unfortunately, the blue monster didn't give him much excitement.
To put it bluntly, blue monsters weren't considered Bosses. They were just the upgraded versions of normal monsters that provided health, attack, and defense. A real Boss would be clad in golden armor and stepping on colorful clouds to appear in front of you. They would make you feel ashamed of your own inferiority at first glance. It was an NPC with strong skills, good equipment, high level, and high AI. Compared to a Boss, the blue monster was just a small fry.
Gu Fei continued to deal with the small fry, continuing to deal the most damage. It was only a matter of time before it was finished. Unfortunately, Gu Fei didn't have any strength and his equipment was white. He could deal with normal monsters quickly, but fighting the upgraded version was a little tiring. After a few minutes, the blue monster finally fell to the ground.
Before lying down, Gu Fei clearly heard the small blue monster mumble, "I won't give the key to the secret passage to anyone."
"What key?" Gu Fei asked subconsciously.
But the monster was already dead. Even if it wasn't dead, it wouldn't answer if it wasn't a planned conversation.
Gu Fei quickly flipped the body of the small blue monster. Apart from dropping more coins than normal monsters, there was actually a heavy iron key. Looking at it: Black Dragon Cave Secret Passage Key.
But where was the secret passage? Gu Fei looked around and walked towards the darkness where the little blue monster had jumped out from.
It was too dark, he couldn't see anything. But this wasn't a problem for Gu Fei, because he had a torch.
Back then, he killed quite a few homeless people who played around the bonfire by the lake. Apart from getting bundles of meat cutting knives, Gu Fei also got a lot of firemaking tools. Gu Fei was only a Mage, so there was a limit to the amount of weight he could carry. His Doraemon's pocket wasn't limitless, so he obviously wouldn't carry extra meat knives and the like. However, things like fire torches might come in handy at some point. Wasn't this the case now?
Gu Fei felt lucky for his foresight. He took out a torch from his pocket and lit it up.
The darkness lit up. Gu Fei immediately found a large iron plate on the ground. One end of the plate was locked together by a huge lock. He inserted the key he had just seized and twisted it. The lock opened. After taking it off, Gu Fei lifted the iron plate. A one-man-sized hole appeared in front of him. He stuck the torch in and shone it. There was a passageway as tall as a person.
Gu Fei quickly sent a message to Sword Specter, but received a system notification saying "Message reception is off."
Since they were in an intense battle, they obviously didn't want to be disturbed by messages. Sword Specter and the others' message reception was off. Since they were together, they could just shout if there was anything.
Let's talk about it after we finish the quest! Gu Fei closed the iron plate and returned to the road. He was stunned again.
In front of the cave, the monsters that Sword Specter and the others had cleared had respawned again.
They were just Level-35 monsters, so it wasn't difficult for Gu Fei. But the problem was that Gu Fei wasn't like Sword Specter and the others, who were familiar with each monster's location, aggro range, and a bunch of other data. If Gu Fei continued to advance, he would probably have cleared all the monsters in the cave. In short, it was troublesome.
"God's will!" Gu Fei sighed. He turned around and lifted the iron plate again.
"Who knows, if I take this path, I might be able to go around in front of them and scare them!" With a mischievous attitude, Gu Fei went into the secret passage.
Although the secret passage was narrow, it was much easier than the path in the cave. Gu Fei held the torch in front of him to explore the path. He was always on guard, in case there was an ambush inside!
In the end, nothing happened. Gu Fei arrived at the end of the secret passage, where there was a huge stone door. He pushed with all his might, and the stone door slowly opened. But it looked like it would close at any time. Gu Fei pushed and squeezed, and finally made it through. He let go, and the stone door closed again. He pushed twice more, but the stone door didn't budge. Open it? He was sweating from pushing it just now. It was impossible to open it like this. Gu Fei was a little dissatisfied with his strength. It seemed like he should consider increasing his strength.
After leaving the stone door, he looked around. It was empty.
He didn't expect to find such a flat and spacious place in the cave. Gu Fei noticed a small wooden house standing alone in the middle of the square.
"Suo Tu is in a small wooden house built in the depths of the Black Dragon Cave … Although the outside is flat and spacious …" Gu Fei remembered what Mr. Han had said when he introduced the quest.
He had actually reached his destination. So this secret passage was the shortcut to the quest! Gu Fei was happy. Since no one had come yet, then … Gu Fei gripped his sword and walked towards Suo Tu's small wooden house.
He admired Young Master Han's strategy very much. Gu Fei had also seen their exquisite coordination along the way. If he followed Mr. Han's plan, it would be a daunting experience without any danger.
However, admiration didn't mean he liked it! What Gu Fei liked was direct, face-to-face combat.
Luring monsters, blocking monsters, pulling aggro … Gu Fei had seen and heard of these terms often. He knew that these were the skills of an expert. Unfortunately, Gu Fei was different. He wanted to be an expert in this game, but he didn't want to rely on his in-game skills. He wanted to rely on his martial arts. This was the reason he came to this' parallel world '.
After killing monsters for so long, Gu Fei had been looking forward to a difficult BOSS for him to challenge. Finally, the opportunity presented itself.
It had to be known that this kind of quest BOSS wasn't easy to find. The system would randomly give out quests every day. There were countless quests that required one to deliver a letter to a chicken, but these kinds of challenging high-level quests were rare. Even if it did appear, it would be a huge stroke of luck to receive it. Therefore, when the employer received this quest, he would be willing to spend money to hire people to help him complete it.
Thinking about it, joining this mercenary team wasn't bad. He would often accept difficult quests and have more opportunities to challenge himself.
As Gu Fei thought about it, he was already outside the wooden house.
Inside was an NPC, someone who wanted to chop off his head to complete the quest. Gu Fei obviously wasn't bored enough to knock on the door and greet him. He kicked the door open and yelled, "Suo Tu!"
It seemed like this method could also attract aggro from the monsters. The guy lying on the bed got up, picked up the sword at the foot of the bed and slashed at Gu Fei.
Gu Fei swung his sword! Clash!
"What strength!" Gu Fei managed to block it, but he couldn't withstand the force. He was sent flying by Suo Tu's sword.
Suo Tu roared and rushed out of the house.
Gu Fei's face turned green. He remembered Mr. Han's words, "Once Suo Tu leaves the house, he'll whistle for his little brother."
