"Squeak —" After a pained wail, another tusked beast fell to the ground.
This was already the fifth giant beast that Ruo Yu had cut down. However, her face was still as calm as water. It was as if the slaughter in front of her didn't affect her at all.
"Tsk … There's no end to it …" Not far away, Xiao Ling muttered as she reloaded. "And none of them are weak at all …"
"Don't let your guard down, there are still many more." Xiao Tan, who was beside her, kept repeating the same lines. It was unclear how he knew all this.
"Heh … Don't worry." Tired Dream heard this and replied with a smile, "I'm still at ease."
"Me too," Greedy Wolf chimed in. "Even though the pace of this battle is a bit tight, so far, our advantage has not been shaken."
Just as they were talking, suddenly …
A violent tremor came from the corridor below. This sudden change caused the ground under the players' feet to crumble like a fragile biscuit.
"F * ck!" Xiao Ling cursed immediately (her voice had not been censored). Then, she turned around and grabbed Xiao Tan's shoulder with one arm.
Xiao Tan naturally understood what she meant. Without saying a word, he also reached out and grabbed Xiao Ling tightly.
Their action was not a public display of affection, but a reaction on a tactical level.
In the previous scenario, perhaps someone had already noticed that Gu Xiao Ling had a very obvious weakness — she had a hard time dealing with falling from a high altitude.
After all, Xiao Ling was a player who specialized in shooting, and she was the type who leaned toward heavy firepower. The weight of her weapons and ammunition (outside of her inventory) was already ridiculous, and she did not have the support of a high level fighting mastery, so naturally, she was faced with this problem.
Of course, if she was prepared, she still had a few ways to slow down her descent. But relatively speaking, when faced with falling … especially when it was sudden, she had very few ways to deal with it. At that moment … there were only two things she could do. First, she prayed that the difference between them wouldn't be too great. Second, she hurriedly grabbed hold of Xiao Tan.
"You must be joking … This is the interior of a building. Why is the floor below this corridor so deep …" Weary Dream's expression changed abruptly as he fell. This was because when he looked down, he discovered that there was actually a vast and boundless abyss below him. He couldn't see the bottom at all.
"Could it be …" Tan Lang said in a deep voice, "While we were fighting, some kind of monster quietly destroyed the structure of the building below us?"
While the two of them were conversing, their bodies were not idle either. They also used their own techniques, adjusting their bodies in the air and using their own techniques to slow down their descent.
"Xiao Tan." Ruo Yu quickly spoke up. She didn't seem to have done anything special, but her falling speed was about the same as the others. "Is it dangerous down there?"
At that moment, Xiao Tan was intermittently activating the Divine Incantation of Heaven and Earth Inversion to control the rhythm of his and Xiao Ling's descent. However, he still had the energy to answer this question. "Hmm … It's extremely dangerous …" As he said this, his eyes inadvertently glanced at his left hand. "It's unprecedentedly dangerous …"
"Roar — Roar —"
Suddenly, two roars that were almost overlapping each other came from the abyss.
The players' already tense nerves were tightened once more …
"Over there!" Xiao Ling's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the huge monster lurking in the darkness.
"Ah, I see it." Xiao Tan's detection mastery was also Level B, and with the reminder, he also discovered the target.
"Steady," Xiao Ling added, and at the same time, she reached her hand into the side pocket of her top.
"Got it." Xiao Tan understood tacitly. He activated the divine incantation and hugged Xiao Ling's waist tightly.
Retrieving bullets, reloading, aiming, and firing …
Within five seconds, Xiao Ling used a series of actions to release six light bullets in all directions.
Name: Low Temperature Constant Light Bullet
Type: Consumable
Quality: Normal
Special Effect: One second after being shot, it will start to glow, providing illumination within a radius of 12 to 15 meters.
Usage Requirement: Marksmanship D or Workmanship D
Remark: Lasts for 280 to 300 seconds. It will still be effective after landing, but the illumination effect will gradually weaken as time passes.
As the six light bullets fell in a circular pattern, the roaring monster revealed its true form.
It was a giant monster about the size of three elephants (adult African elephants). Its body looked like a flat crab shell, and its whole body was black. There were four symmetrical inverted V-shaped legs on the front, back, left, and right sides of its torso. These legs did not have fingers or toes, and they looked more like hooves.
Furthermore, this monster did not have a 'head.' However, on the top and bottom of its flat shell, there was a huge mouth that was split open …
"Roar! Roar!" The moment it saw the light, the monster roared again (both mouths roared at the same time).
This time, the players were only about ten meters away from the bottom of the abyss. Therefore … the monster's roar became clearer and harsher … and it was mixed with an indescribable stench.
"What the f * ck … No matter how you look at it, this is at the level of a scenario boss …" Tired Dream mumbled the moment he saw the giant monster's face.
Tired Dream was someone who had seen the world. To be able to make him say something like that, the monster's power and presence was not to be underestimated.
"Haha … Don't worry, it's not that powerful." Suddenly, another voice spoke. His tone was frivolous and sharp … and it sent chills down everyone's spine.
At that moment, the five players landed one after another. They did not care about the exhaustion of Life Points and Stamina Points from the fall but were already on high alert.
"So, that's why …" After he steadied himself, the first thing Xiao Tan did was let go of Xiao Ling and turned his face away from the monster. "The super dangerous thing … is actually you …"
"Haha … 'Dangerous'? Same here, same here, "the owner of the voice said as he slowly walked out from the darkness.
Several seconds later, he appeared in the players' sight.
This was a humanoid creature. His skin was pure white, his cheekbones were higher than normal humans, and there were two eyeballs in each eye.
He was dressed in a black robe with a gorgeous cloak draped over his shoulders. His every movement exuded a calm and shrewd feeling.
"Let me introduce myself." After he came to the light, he smiled with his hands behind his back. "I am the Cursed Priest under the command of the leader of the demons … Taliohm."
"Roar! Roar!" The giant monster in the distance did not care about their conversation. It was now a puppet of V1-God of War and had to act according to a certain pattern. Therefore, when it realized that its targets had all landed, it roared again and raised its feet to crawl over.
"So noisy …" Taliohm's expression turned cold as he glanced at the giant monster. "Low-level trash …"
Before he finished, he had already raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The next second, the giant monster let out a weak groan. Then, its limbs broke as if they had been dismembered. Its torso crashed to the ground, and its mouth was firmly shut, no longer making a sound.
"Motherf * cker …" Seeing this, Tired Dream cursed in his heart. "I really shouldn't have queued for a Nightmare-difficulty team dungeon. What the hell is this … Any random guy that comes out can kill me!"
"I don't think we've met before, have we?" Xiao Tan did not turn back to look at the giant monster's condition. He kept staring at Taliohm and walked towards him step by step. "What do you mean by 'same here'?"
"Indeed, this is the first time we've met." Taliohm smiled. "But …" His four eyes moved to Xiao Tan's left hand. "I felt your existence as early as when you entered the Monster Kingdom."
"What you felt …" Xiao Tan said as he rolled up his left sleeve, revealing his entire left forearm. "It's this power, right?"
At this moment, Ruo Yu, Xiao Ling, Tan Lang, and Tired Dream's expressions changed to varying degrees.
They saw a scarlet line of blood on Wang Tanzhi's left hand. The line started from the palm of his left hand and extended in the direction of his pulse … When it reached his arm, it bloomed like a vine, forming a complex, tattoo-like pattern.
At this moment, Xiao Tan's left forearm was covered with scarlet blood patterns, and those patterns were faintly emitting a red light …
