Chapter 18
After following the princess out to kill monsters twice, I found out why she had the nickname "Crazy Rider".
This woman is like a tank. When she sees a monster, she charges, charges, and charges again. She takes medicine and fights like crazy, as if super medicine is free. Since the wife is so "brave", what man would hide behind and watch? After a few times, I also went crazy with her, and the frequency of using the Dragon Fang Sword was much higher than before.
The advantage of her playing style is that experience increases quickly and saves time. However, the disadvantage is also great. The speed of medicine consumption is alarmingly fast. Often, we have to go back to the village to resupply after we have just gone a short distance. The increase in experience is directly proportional to the speed of the wallet consumption. I have mentioned this money-consuming method several times. The princess knows the problem, but at the beginning of leveling, she still does her own thing and goes crazy. I can't get angry at all. Sometimes I really wonder if her family runs a bank, burning money.
Another characteristic of the princess is that she is "stupid and bold". She doesn't know much about the high-level monsters on the human side, but that doesn't stop her from attacking with enthusiasm. She will attack any monster she hasn't seen before. I saw her fighting a blood-sucking spider. The fight was so intense that she was exhausted. After she survived, she asked me, "What kind of monster is this? It seems very powerful?" I was speechless. How did she get to level 51?
"Why are you here? Don't you want to practice collecting herbs?" I asked the question in my mind.
"I came here to collect Mandrake powder. There's none near the village. I didn't expect to run into this guy. Seriously, have you ever seen this kind of monster?"
"No, it looks a bit like an enhanced version of the Skeleton Warrior. Could it be a recently updated monster?" The skeleton in front of me was a head taller than the Skeleton Warrior. Its appearance adhered to the usual tattered design of the undead, with rusty and broken armor, no shield, and the two-handed sword was almost as tall as me. The whole shape looked like a garbage dump made of scrap iron and bones.
"I thought so, so I asked you to come and see if you can dismantle it." I said, why did the princess come to me, it turned out that she wanted to kill this skeleton. Normally, if she couldn't beat it, she could still run away. In Qilian Mountain, except for the beast god, there were almost no monsters that could kill her in seconds.
"You have such a big grudge? You specially asked me to collect scrap metal? Haha." I joked while observing the skeleton. Anyone who can ask the princess for help must be around level 70.
"It killed Qing right away. I fought it a few times, but I didn't expect the unicorn to be finished. Look at what it is." It killed Qing instantly! Qing is almost level 3. Although her defense is not as high as the mammoth, it is not easy to kill her instantly. The attack power of this skeleton is fierce. I began to be interested in this ugly skeleton.
I stepped back, carefully moved within the attack range of my skill, and cast an identification spell on the skeleton from behind.
Name: Sword Demon. Level: 80. Type: Undead leader.
"Tsk tsk, honey, you found a treasure, this skeleton is called Sword Demon, a level 80 quasi-boss. Is there anything special about it?" Level 80 things have some strange characteristics, like the Green Ball King is smelly and poisonous. I don't know what this big skeleton can do.
"Oh, no wonder, it can slowly repair its damage and use skills to attack. When it killed Qing just now, it used a sudden attack. How about we retreat first?" The princess said hesitantly, and it was obvious that she was unwilling to do so. However, she also knew that killing a quasi-boss monster at night was almost like committing suicide.
"Retreat? Haha, you don't seem to have confidence in your husband. Wait, I'll open your eyes." At this time, I had to bite the bullet and stand up. In front of a beautiful woman, the issue of face is very important. Men! Strong fool.
"Seriously, I know what you are going to do, but it's night now, and it's not easy for you to run away in the woods. Don't try to be brave. Besides, poison is ineffective against undead." The princess felt like laughing. The fool below was like a male peacock on stimulants, trying desperately to show off his beautiful tail feathers. He didn't even look at the time and place, and there was a "tiger" next to him who was preparing to eat.
She knew that mages and archers were known as boss killers, and they could slowly drag the enemy down. Thieves could also use crossbows, so they could do the same. However, the current environment was not suitable. There were too many trees to run away, and the sword demon was not afraid of poison and was fast. The vision was unclear at night, and there were many strange shadows around. If there were more people, there would be a chance, but there were only two people here, and the chances of winning were really slim.
"Wife, wait for me for a while." I said, and then returned to where I came from. The princess overlooked a special skill of the thief - firearms master. As long as there is enough time and materials, the thief's bomb trap array can kill any monster that breaks into it.
Fortunately, I bought a lot of materials when I came here. In the smallest possible area, I started to set traps along a certain route. I wouldn't dare to do this when there are many people around, because it's too easy to hurt others by mistake. Now there is no one else around except me and the princess, so I can use this skill.
It took me nearly half an hour to set up the bomb trap array in a forest, and another few minutes to lure away other monsters nearby, otherwise they would have interfered when the Sword Demon and I were practicing "long-distance running".
I returned to the princess and told her to be careful about her safety and not to follow me. Then, I took out the assassination folding crossbow and used the sneak attack to nail an arrow firmly into the back of the Sword Demon's head while he was "looking at the scenery". Unfortunately, the sneak attack was unsuccessful. The Sword Demon, who was very angry, immediately chased after me with the exaggerated giant sword in hand, accompanied by the clanging sound of bones and iron sheets colliding.
I led the Sword Demon to play hide-and-seek in the thunder array in the forest. For a while, the roar of explosions in the woods was endless. The princess had also moved to the nearest tree. She sat on the tree fork and watched with amusement the man and the skeleton circling around in the fire of the bomb, and reminded me of the movements of the Sword Demon from time to time.
As expected of a level 80 skeleton boss, his defense is so strong! Although the broken pieces of iron on his body were blown everywhere, the giant sword in his hand was not ambiguous at all, and he swung it vigorously, almost hitting me several times.
I remember that big brother once described thieves like this: running is necessary, life is important, thieves are great because they are immortal, escaping is common, and tradition is exercise. How insightful, it points out the characteristics of us thieves, we are warriors in the shadows, heroes in the scolding. While running away in circles, I was daydreaming, with a satisfied and intoxicated look on my face. The princess on the tree just rolled her eyes, thinking that this person was so addicted to being chased by monsters, and he looked happy while running away.
No matter how many bombs there are, they will run out eventually. After Mr. Sword Demon trampled on them for nearly twenty minutes, the last bomb exploded. The tenacious Sword Demon was blown to pieces, and his whole body was black. The tattered armor was almost completely broken, and several ribs were missing. Although he still looked ferocious, his speed of movement had slowed down.
When the princess saw that the bomb was gone, she pulled out the Blood Song without saying a word, and jumped down from the tree holding the Guardian Tower Shield. Now, it depends on who can last longer, us or the Sword Demon.
Because the speed of the medicine to restore health is gradual, the princess started using it in mid-air, and rushed towards the sword demon with red light flashing on her body, and used the attack reduction spell on it under the attack of the giant sword. "Bang!" A broken shield symbol appeared on the sword demon's body, and the damage was reduced by one third. Good opportunity! Seeing this, I quickly put away the assassination crossbow, pulled out the dragon tooth, picked up the defensive dagger like a trident, turned around and rushed back, and summoned the mammoth. At this time, there is no room for hesitation. There is strength in numbers, so let's fight.
Two people and one elephant surrounded the smoking skeleton and attacked it. Maybe there were too many targets, and the Sword Demon couldn't react for a while, so the frequency of attack kept decreasing. The princess attacked continuously with the medicine bottle, and my sneak attack was lucky enough to succeed several times, hitting the Sword Demon's bones. The mammoth was even more excited to launch a collision skill, and it was amazing that it could hit the target! The two people and the skeleton were all knocked away.
Although the Sword Demon can recover automatically, he can't stand the "rogue" play. Two against one is fine, but he also hit me with an elephant! It's too outrageous! I won't live anymore! The grief-stricken Sword Demon let out a "long roar" and protested by disintegrating in the air in anger.
The defensive dagger can block most melee weapons, but it can't protect against flying bone sticks. As luck would have it, the sword demon's exaggerated giant sword also fell on me. It hurt so much! The knight's tower shield is better. The princess shrank back a little and hid behind the door-like shield. Unlike me, I was hit with stars all over my head.
Ignoring the pain in my body, the princess and I began to search for the items dropped by the Sword Demon among the bones on the ground. I was sharp-eyed and saw the Sword Demon dropped three items in the air, but unfortunately they were hit by the stupid elephant and flew away.
After searching for a long time, the princess and I found a bag of gold coins, a golden ring and a black stone from the pile of bones. The ring was not identified, but there were more than 200 gold coins. I don't know what this stone is used for. I took a look. Meteorite? What is that? It's a little different from the ore that monsters usually drop, but I can't figure out what it is used for. Whatever, I'll put it away first. It's a level 80 monster, and it may drop something. Let's take a look at this ring first. Hehe, it's golden, and I can't help but think of the sacred glass star.
I found a clean place to sit with the princess. She took a handkerchief and started to wipe her face. Girls like to be clean. I excitedly took the ring and looked at it carefully. The front of the ring was an angel shape, holding a harp in its hand. It was made very delicately and emitting bursts of golden light. It was quite beautiful. But I was more concerned about its properties, so I raised my hand and tapped the identification spell on it.
Item name: Hymn of Life. Use level: 0.
Huh? Gone? What is it for? Where are the basic properties? I was dumbfounded. What kind of ring is this? I used the identification spell several times without giving up, and the results were exactly the same. I tried it on, but none of the properties changed. No way? The most common white ring will increase the attack a little bit, how can this be so rubbish? This is the first time I have seen jewelry that does not increase anything.
"Have you finished the appraisal? Let me see what a beautiful ring it is. Oh, it's called the Hymn of Life." The princess saw me staring blankly after the appraisal and took the ring from me out of curiosity. It seemed that she liked the shape of this ring very much.
"It's just beautiful, but it has no other properties." I shook my head with a wry smile. I was busy with a row of thirteen cards, but all I got was a stone that I didn't know what it was used for and this "super white" ring. I was so depressed.
"Really, it really doesn't have any properties." The princess listened to me, put it on and tried it, and seemed surprised as well.
Just as we were lamenting our bad luck, a white dove flew in front of us and kept cooing at me.
"Hey, honey, our midnight snack is here." I stared at the "midnight snack" with hatred, imagining eight ways to eat the pigeon.
"Take a look at the letter first. What's wrong with you? You eat other people's messengers? They're one gold coin each. Aren't you afraid that people will come after you?" The princess pushed me, obviously disapproving of my "hobby".
"Humph, those guys have eaten my messengers many times. It's rude not to reciprocate." I muttered to myself as I grabbed the pigeon and took out the letter.
Seriously, where are you? I know you are online. Come back to Rose Garden, Brother Yun and his friends have finished the auction, and we have something to discuss. Hurry up! Also, don't eat my pigeons! Otherwise I will strangle you to death! Sender: Ah Zi.
"Haha, my elder sister's messenger, it seems you can't eat it. By the way, you are not allowed to eat my eagle in the future." The princess chuckled and stood up with me, preparing to go down the mountain to the teleportation station.
"How can I do that? I'll have to sell it to you after I eat it. That's a lot of money. Besides, I can't bear to part with such a beautiful messenger."
"Just so you know."
"To be honest, owls actually taste terrible. I wouldn't eat them even if they were given to me for free."
"You are a fool."
