Realm of the Bell, Lake Heart Island.
Looking up, the sky was as dark as ink, and the forest on the island was shrouded in shadows.
At that moment, there was a small bell hanging from the top of every tree in the forest. Those bells all emitted a faint silver light. They were like solitary lamps that lit up the dark night, creating a strange picture scroll.
"Ha … This is within my expectations." The Bell Demon smiled wickedly as she walked to stand before Feng Bujue. "Now you should understand why the priest failed to defeat me, right?"
Feng Bujue held the wound on his waist and knelt on the ground, gasping for air. "Ha … Cough … You're right … This is … within my expectations." At this point, he started to laugh. "From the beginning, I knew that you were very powerful. For an exorcist like the Bell of Jin Gang to fall into the hands of a demon like you, it is clear that … cough … "He coughed out a mouthful of blood." You are not to be trifled with. "
The Bell Demon no longer looked like a little girl. Her body was no different from an adult's, but she was shrouded in black smoke. From the shape and voice, she was female. Her voice sounded like she was in her thirties, but the other features were unknown.
"Humph … Since you already knew, why did you order your companions to split up with you?" Bell Demon laughed. "You were the one who told them to split up and buy as much time as possible, right? And you shouted it right in front of me. "
"Is there something wrong with my strategy?" Feng Bujue answered as he forced himself up from the ground.
By then, Feng Bujue was at the end of his rope. Earlier, he had used Death Poker and Body Enhancement Spell to force the Bell Demon to deal with him first. Along the way, he fought and retreated, stopping and activating skills, switching equipment, and using items … In the end, he managed to fight his way out of the Bell Demon's encirclement, and he even managed to whittle down the Bell Demon's Life Points.
However, facing a boss that he could not defeat alone, his series of actions came with a price. At that moment, Feng Bujue had used up all five of his Life Points Recovery Potions and none of his Death Poker cards remained. Even though he still had one-third of his Stamina Points left, he only had twenty-six percent of his Life Points left, and there was a bleeding effect in his status bar.
Even if the Bell Demon hadn't given him the final blow, Feng Bujue wouldn't have lasted more than a few minutes.
Of course, Feng Bujue still had SCP-500 on him, but he did not plan to use it. He felt that he might die in this situation, so using it would be a waste.
"If you knew how strong I was from the beginning, you should have worked with your friends to fight me. That way, you would have had a chance of winning," Bell Demon replied. "Humph … But you told her to run separately from you. You want to buy time? Heh … Could it be that you think that dragging out the battle in my territory is actually beneficial to you? "
"I can't say that it's advantageous." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "I just chose … a way to win against you."
The Bell Demon's body froze. "Oh? Let me guess … at this moment, are you trying to say … that you have some kind of powerful explosive on your body, and as long as you die, it will detonate and blow me to smithereens? "
"No." Feng Bujue said, "I just want to tell you that you've been poisoned."
"Hah … Is this your last joke?" The Bell Demon smirked coldly.
"The effect of this poison is very weak. From your performance, whether it was the moment you were poisoned or after, you didn't feel anything." Feng Bujue said, "If you were a traveler from another world like me, you would have noticed it with a glance at your status bar, but unfortunately, you're not."
"You make it sound so real, but compared to that, I'd rather believe that you would self-destruct," the Bell Demon replied with a smile. Obviously, she still did not believe it.
"There are two reasons for your confidence. First, you think that as a spirit, you should be immune to things like 'poison.' Second, until this very second, you still haven't figured out how I poisoned you." Feng Bujue directly exposed her thoughts and continued, "Since victory is in my hands, I might as well tell you. First of all, I poisoned you with this … "
As Feng Bujue spoke, he revealed the Goblin Mask. "When I was tied to the wooden stake to talk to you, you were already poisoned. This is called a 'poison attack,' a method unique to us travellers from another world. You should know that our weapons, as long as it's not a pure physical attack, will be effective against a spirit like you. " As he spoke, he hid his facial equipment again. "Just like the submachine gun I used to shoot you. Those bullets have no effect on you, but the flames that occasionally trigger can hurt you, right?"
At that moment, the bells on the surrounding trees started to shake, and some even fell from the trees. This was the best proof that their owner was wavering.
"You've been chasing me for too long. Even if exercise won't worsen the effect of the poison in your body, I believe after one hour and seven minutes (Feng Bujue calculated the time in his mind when he was running) … even if I only take away one percent of your Life Points every minute, you'll only have thirty-three percent left. Combined with my attacks along the way …" Feng Bujue sighed deeply. "In any case, even if I die, you won't have time to kill my teammates. That's why I said it's 100 percent doable … "
"Enough." The Bell Demon interrupted him. "The so-called 'status', 'HP', and 'attributes' that you mentioned have nothing to do with me," she said darkly. "You just want to tell me that I'm about to be killed by you, right?"
"Correct," Feng Bujue said.
Suddenly, the bells in the forest quieted down, and the surroundings returned to silence.
The black smoke dispersed, and the Bell Demon revealed herself. She was half a head taller than Feng Bujue, and she had the face of a European woman. Her features were sharp and beautiful. Her skin was lavender, and she had no hair. There were curly horns on both sides of her forehead. She didn't have any clothes on her body. From the lower half of her chest to her lower abdomen, there was a mane that looked like clothes. It covered some sensitive parts that weren't suitable to appear in the game. As for her lower body, there were two smooth and slender thighs connected to huge, hairy hooves below her knees.
Feng Bujue shook his head and said earnestly, "This is too vulgar. This is too outrageous. What is the meaning of this? A tube top made of hair? Do you dare to have hair all over your body, or not at all? "He complained about the system's public display of body parts that were half-covered and half-exposed by the demon beauty. At the same time, he shamelessly fixed his gaze on the other party's towering chest, staring at the two semicircular balls that were not covered by the mane for a long time without blinking.
"Humph … Your partner is right. You're an extremely narcissistic person." The Bell Demon had obviously been monitoring the two players, and she knew their conversation clearly.
As she spoke, she walked to stand before Feng Bujue. She looked down at him with a condescending gaze. "Do you really want to tell me everything about your plan before I die? If you say something else to delay me, I might have died without knowing it, and your life would have been saved. " She suddenly reached out with one hand to strangle Feng Bujue's neck and easily lifted him off the ground. "And now, since I know that I am going to die soon … why don't I drag one more person down with me?"
"Damn it …" Blood leaked out from Feng Bujue's lips. His face was purple, but he forced his eyes to widen. He continued to stare at the Bell Demon's chest at a forty-five degree angle. Before his last bit of Life Points and dignity disappeared, he squeezed out the words through his teeth. "It's … really … airtight …"
At that moment, there was a flash of light, and blood splattered. The hand that grabbed Feng Bujue's neck suddenly lost its strength.
Feng Bujue felt the pressure on his throat loosen, and then he collapsed to the ground. His Life Points stopped at three percent. The Bell Demon before him had lost her head.
The female head with the goat horns flew into the sky and drew a parabola in the air before landing seven or eight meters away. The numerous bells in the forest disappeared several seconds later.
The surrounding shadows began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sky gradually brightened. The golden sun at dusk pierced through the darkness like a sharp knife, illuminating the small island.
Before Feng Bujue could react to this series of changes, the headless body of the Bell Demon swayed twice before falling toward his Brother Bujue.
For a player with only three percent Life Points, being hit by an object that was at least fifty kilograms, the chance of being turned into white light was very high. Feng Bujue had survived a great ordeal, so how could he let this happen? He immediately rolled to the side to avoid the falling body. The moment his Life Points dropped below two percent, he popped another SCP-500 into his mouth and healed the bleeding status.
"Phew … that was close …" Feng Bujue sat up and sighed in relief.
The next second, his eyes met Passing Rain's condescending gaze.
"Damn it, you sure are well-hidden." Passing Rain used her unique icy tone to repeat Feng Bujue's' last words'.
"Hey, didn't I tell you to split up with me?" Feng Bujue asked. "If you stick close to the boss like this … what if the boss kills me when it only has thirty percent of its Life Points left and quickly locates your location? Then, won't the two of us be wiped out?"
Passing Rain acted like she did not hear him and continued to mumble, "She's almost 1.9 meters tall, and she's half human and half goat …"
Feng Bujue replied with annoyance, "Are you mocking my taste? Or are you just jealous? "
"I'm just surprised. How crazy does a person have to be to have this kind of … reaction when they're about to die?" Passing Rain chuckled.
"This is just a game. It's not like I'm going to be strangled to death." Feng Bujue shrugged and replied in a relaxed tone.
Passing Rain stared at his face for a few seconds and stopped herself. In the end, she did not say anything but said, "Perhaps."
Then, she slowly walked to his side, hugged her knees, and silently passed him two Life Points Recovery Potions.
