Sword Demon and the others were focused on clearing the monsters in front and had no time to pay attention to what was behind them. Moreover, they weren't as stubborn as Han Family Young Master. He thought that if they were on a quest, even if they had nothing to do, they should still pay attention to what others were doing.
The party advanced into the depths of the Black Dragon Cave. Han Family Young Master always wanted to find a chance to turn back and teach Gu Fei a lesson. Unfortunately, having done this quest once, he knew that there was no chance for him to do so 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 continue advancing like this without alerting any extra monsters, they couldn't even take a wrong step.
They had to kill 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 killing it and opening the mechanism of the stone door, it would be the one room of the bandit leader Suo Tu.
Han Family Young Master calculated their progress and the time, but he didn't know that an accident had happened behind them.
The mountain path in the cave was difficult to walk, one foot was high and one foot was low.
The employer was careless and missed a step. He staggered and stumbled a few steps to the side.
"Be careful!" Gu Fei saw that he only lost his balance and didn't fall, so he only reminded him verbally.
The employer steadied his steps and thanked him. But at this time, 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 Fei sweep past him like the wind and landed behind him.
"Ding …" A crisp sound of a sword clashing was heard. Gu Fei's long sword was already out of its scabbard and collided with a shadow in the darkness.
"Go, you don't need to help me!" Gu Fei turned around and said.
"F * ck!" After turning around, Gu Fei yelled with all his heart. 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 by him to help him, they had the responsibility and obligation to protect him, so it was necessary for Gu Fei to step forward and help him. As for him helping her instead? F * ck! If I could deal with these monsters, why would I need to buy 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, a little puzzled. Wasn't that person a mage? Why does it look like he's fighting a monster in close combat? Oh! He walked 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. Gu Fei retreated as he fought. Gradually, he returned to the center of the road. There was light coming from nowhere. 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 holographic online games, the NPCs no longer had names above their heads. Of course, it was no longer possible to distinguish between blue and gold names. It was not appropriate to carve words like "Big Boss", "Mini Boss", and "Blue Monster" on their faces. In the end, the game company decided to show it through their appearance.
The little bandit in front of him was a small blue monster.
Thinking about how Gu Fei had been killing monsters to level up, this was the first time he 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. They were NPCs with strong skills, good equipment, high levels, and high AI. Compared to the Boss, the blue monster was just a small fry.
Gu Fei dealt with the small fry and continued to maximize his damage output. It was only a matter of time before it was finished. Unfortunately, Gu Fei had no strength and his equipment was white. He could deal with normal monsters quickly, but fighting the upgraded version was a little tiring. It took a few minutes before the blue monster finally fell to the ground.
Before lying down, Gu Fei clearly heard the small blue monster mumble, "I will never 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 hurriedly flipped the little blue monster's body. In addition to dropping more coins than normal monsters, there was actually a heavy iron key. He took a closer look: Black Dragon Cave's secret passage key.
But where was the secret passage? Gu Fei looked around and stepped toward the darkness that the small blue monster 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 a lot of homeless people who played around the bonfire by the lake. In addition to obtaining bundles of meat cutting knives, Gu Fei also seized a lot of fire making tools from them. 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.
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 huge lock opened. After taking it off, Gu Fei lifted the iron plate and a hole the size of a person appeared in front of him. He put the torch in and shone it. There was a passage the size of a person below.
Gu Fei quickly sent a message to Sword Demon and received a system notification of "Message Reception Closed" from the other party.
They were in a tense and intense battle. Of course, they didn't want to be disturbed by messages. Sword Demon and the others' message reception was closed. Everyone was together anyway. If there was anything, they could just shout.
It was better to wait until the mission was completed! Gu Fei closed the iron plate and returned to the road. He was stunned again.
In front of the cave, the small monsters that Sword Demon and the others had cleared when they passed by had respawned again.
It was just a level-35 monster. It wasn't difficult for Gu Fei. But the point was that Gu Fei wasn't like Sword Demon and the others. He was familiar with the distribution of each monster's position, aggro range, and a bunch of other data. If Gu Fei continued to move forward now, he was afraid that the small monsters in the entire cave would be cleared. In short, it was troublesome.
"God's will!" Gu Fei sighed and turned back to open the iron plate.
"Maybe if I go from here, I'll go around in front of them and scare them!" Gu Fei went into the secret passage with a mischievous mentality.
Although the secret passage was narrow, it was much easier to walk than the path in the cave. Gu Fei held the torch in front of him to explore the way. He was always on guard in case there was an ambush inside!
In the end, it was safe all the way. Gu Fei came to the end of the secret passage, a huge stone door. He reached out and pushed with all his might. The stone door slowly opened. But it had the tendency to bounce back and close at any time. Gu Fei pushed and squeezed, and finally got through. He let go, and the stone door closed again. He pushed it twice, but the stone door didn't move. 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 own strength. It seemed that he could consider adding some 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 immediately noticed a small wooden house standing alone on the flat square.
"Suo Tu is in a small wooden house built in the depths of the Black Dragon Cave … Although the outside of the house is flat and spacious …" Gu Fei recalled what the Han Family Young Master said when he introduced the mission.
He had actually arrived at his destination. So this secret passage was the shortcut to this mission! Gu Fei was happy. Since no one had come yet, then … Gu Fei held the saber in his hand and walked towards Suo Tu's small wooden house.
He admired the strategy designed by the Han Family Young Master. And their exquisite cooperation along the way was seen by Gu Fei. If he really followed the Han Family Young Master's plan, he was afraid that it would be more daunting than dangerous.
However, admiration didn't mean that he liked it! What Gu Fei liked was direct, face-to-face combat.
Luring monsters, blocking monsters, pulling aggro … Gu Fei had often heard of these terms, so he had a rough idea of what they were. These were all things that reflected the skill of an expert in the game. Unfortunately, Gu Fei was different. He wanted to become an expert in this game, but he didn't want to rely on his in-game skills. Instead, he wanted to rely on his martial arts. This was the reason why he came to this "parallel world".
After killing monsters for so long, Gu Fei had always been looking forward to a difficult BOSS for him to challenge. Now, he finally had this opportunity.
It had to be known that this kind of quest BOSS wasn't that easy to find. The system would randomly issue quests every day. There were countless quests that required him to deliver a letter to a chicken, but these kinds of challenging high-level quests were very 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 didn't hesitate to spend money to hire people to help him complete it.
Thinking about it this way, joining this mercenary team wasn't bad. He would often take on difficult quests, which would give him more opportunities to challenge himself.
As Gu Fei thought about it, he was already outside the wooden hut.
Inside was an NPC, someone who wanted to chop off his head to complete the quest. Of course, Gu Fei wasn't bored enough to knock on the door and greet him. He kicked the door open and shouted, "Suotu!"
It seemed like this method could also attract the aggro of the monster. The guy lying on the bed flipped over, picked up a large knife at the foot of the bed, and slashed at Gu Fei.
Gu Fei swung his knife to meet it! Crash!
"So strong!" Gu Fei blocked it, but he couldn't withstand the force. He was sent flying by Suotu's knife.
Suotu roared and rushed out of the hut.
Gu Fei's face turned green. He still remembered what the Han Family Young Master said, "As soon as Suotu leaves the hut, he will whistle for his underlings."
