Woof ~ Woof ~ Woof ~
Sharp, frequent, and cheerful dog barks … rang out in the temple with an oppressive and terrifying atmosphere, giving rise to an indescribable sense of dissonance.
This Chihuahua (Even though the breed of the summoned dog was random, the fact that it was a super small dog was probably due to the limitation of the skill) did not appear out of thin air. Instead, it was summoned by Xiao Tan using Summon — Puppy.
As a very basic summoning skill, the summoned creature it created would not have high intelligence or combat ability. However, in a scenario where they could be killed at any moment, having the Puppy step on a landmine was undoubtedly a brilliant strategy.
Therefore, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling used the Chihuahua to explore the Sky King Hall, Arhat Hall, and the West Wing of the Temple of Six Harmonies. They did not conduct a detailed search; they merely confirmed the presence of monsters or instant-death events at these three locations.
Their plan was … to explore as many locations as they could before the eight-minute duration of the summoned creature ended. After the Puppy disappeared, they would return to explore the area again.
Unfortunately, due to the weakening of the active skill, the Puppy's duration ended in less than eight minutes. Even though the two were racing against time, they had only explored three areas.
Before the Chihuahua disappeared, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling arrived at the Fragrance Kitchen.
"Hmm? Did you smell that? " Xiao Tan had a keen sense of smell. He could smell the smell coming from the kitchen even when he was about ten meters away.
"Compared to the smell …" Spirity replied, raising her finger and pointing upwards. "The smoke coming out of the chimney is easier to detect."
"Hmm … Under such circumstances, he still has the mood to cook in the kitchen …" Wang Tanzhi shook his head. "Could it be … Brother Jue?"
"Do you think …" Xiao Ling added, "Other than our leader, no one else would do something like this?" Then, she took out a bottle of red wine from her inventory. "No matter what … I'll send a bat in to investigate."
As she finished, she activated her only summoning skill …
[Name: Summon — Vampire Bats]
Skill Card Attribute: Active, Permanent
Skill Type: Summoning
[Effect: Summon a Vampire Bat to fight for you (20 minute cooldown, 5 minute duration, maximum of 1 Vampire Bat at a time)]
[Consumption: 2 Spiritual Energy Value, at least 50 milliliters of red wine]
[Learning Requirement: Level 10, Summoning Mastery will be unlocked after learning]
[Remark: Its attack may not cause too much damage, but it is enough to leave a wound on the target. Its innate ultrasonic ability gives it excellent dodging ability. Be it flying objects or direct attacks, it will be difficult to hit it. One thing to note is that if it leaves your field of vision and does not receive clear instructions, it will take the initiative to attack the closest warm-blooded animal.]
Just like Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling learned this skill in order to unlock her summoning mastery and increase her mastery of the mastery. However … even though they were both basic summoning skills, Xiao Ling's summoned creature was stronger than Xiao Tan's. This was because her skill required an expensive consumable like [Red Wine] to activate, unlike Xiao Tan who could use [Dog Whistle] as many times as he wanted.
"But … if you let the bat fly in through the window and bite, we still don't know who's in the house?" Xiao Tan asked.
"Stupid …" Xiao Ling knocked Xiao Tan's head. "The bat can't recognize the person, but the person can recognize the bat."
"Oh! That's right! " With the reminder, Xiao Tan realized. "Brother Jue can recognize your summoned creature. If it's him in the house, he will respond to us." He paused for a moment. "If it's someone else in the house … this bat might be able to lure the snake out of its hole."
"That's right." Xiao Ling replied. "So …" As she muttered, she commanded the brown bat to fly towards the kitchen window.
At that moment, the window was open. After all, an ancient building like this would not have an exhaust fan or a range hood installed. Even if there was a chimney, it was easy to kill someone while cooking with the window closed.
"Pah pah pah pah pah pah …"
Even though it was a low-level summoned creature, the vampire bat flew at a very fast speed. However, it made quite a bit of noise when it flapped its wings.
About seven to eight seconds later, the summoned creature flew into the Fragrant Kitchen.
Then, it never came out again …
...
At the same time, inside the kitchen.
"Humph … I was wondering why this kind of ingredient would come to me on its own accord …" Oink looked at the bat that he had crushed in his hand disintegrate into white light, and he chuckled coldly. "So, it's a summoned creature …"
When he heard the term summoned creature, No Words King, who was squatting in the corner, had his eyes light up. The man who was surrounded by fear and despair had a glimmer of hope.
Speaking of which … this student who had managed to kill Lying Drunk in the S2 preliminaries could be considered an elite among the younger generation of Zombie Blade. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was Zombie Blade's version of Phantom Dawn, but … in this scenario, he was at his worst when he had stopped using his medicine.
At the start of the scenario, No Words King was the only player who was directly transported into the Temple of Six Harmonies. This kind of situation … if he handled it well, it would be an advantage, but if he did not, it would be a disaster. As for Fei Fang, it was obvious that he belonged to the latter … In less than a minute, he had accidentally triggered a Boss-level battle event.
Compared to the woman in red that Xiao Tan's group encountered, the mini-boss that No Words King encountered could be described as' hard to look at '.
In terms of appearance, he had a head of unkempt black hair that was neither too long nor too straight. His sallow face and worried face … were unforgettable.
In terms of body size, he had the body size of an adult human and the limbs of a hobbit. If the hunchback was a sign of his modesty, then his throat was as thin as a needle, his mouth was as big as a torch, and his stomach was as big as a mountain … these three characteristics undoubtedly represented his attitude toward life.
In terms of clothing, his shirtless upper body and bare feet were covered in blood, mud, and feces (probably). This kind of irreplicable, performance-art style of dressing … was simple but not simple, high-end but not flashy. The short pants made from grass and tree bark that were tied around his waist showed off his untamed personality and wildness that could not be hidden. It gave off an oppressive feeling that one would not have the courage to look up even if they wanted to kneel before him.
In conclusion … this man was basically a demonized version of a deformed caveman.
However, everyone knew that it was wrong to judge a book by its cover. In recent years, more and more research had shown that … there was no direct correlation between one's combat ability and one's appearance. Those who were both handsome (beautiful) and strong merely had an innate Racial Talent of Taunting.
No Words King did not intend to underestimate this strange creature. From the beginning, he gave it his all in the battle. However, the 'skill limitation' was a big problem. Furthermore, his opponent was indeed a tough opponent. Therefore, this man and monster fought for a long time in the Great Hall of Six Harmonies Temple. About ten minutes ago, No Words King won by a hair's breadth.
Just as he was about to sit down and catch his breath, Second Senior Brother … no, Oink … suddenly appeared.
What happened after that could be summarized in two sentences. Oink easily subdued No Words King and brought him back to the kitchen … to let him have a taste of the 'meat soup'.
"What's wrong?" At that moment, Oink had just placed his dish into the pot. Even though he was facing away from the player, he could see the player's every move clearly. "After knowing that there are other travelers from another dimension nearby, do you think the situation will turn around?"
"I …" Hearing that, No Words King hesitated for two seconds before forcing himself to be calm. He replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "… I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Ha!" Oink laughed drily. "This is the first time I've heard someone lie in such a harsh tone."
After he said that, No Mouth Is King did not respond further.
Seeing that he did not reply, Oink continued, "Fine … Since you think relying on others can turn the situation around, fine …" He put down the wooden spoon in his hand and closed the pot lid. "I'll go invite them in now."
