Chapter 44
I remember that someone once described the six existing boss-level monsters in "Magic Flag" like this: the coolest Azure Dragon, the weirdest Newt, the most beautiful Red Devil, the fastest Beast God, the dumbest Bat King, and the weakest Butterfly Demon.
Today, the colorful giant that slowly appeared in front of me should be the boss of the Devil Island under our feet, the one that is said to be the weakest among the six bosses - the colorful giant butterfly demon. Although this is the first time I have met this colorful fellow, its appearance like a super fat butterfly is definitely unmistakable. It is the only one in "Devil Flag".
This flashy boss has a head as big as a basket, with a large painted face like a Peking Opera mask. I don’t know if it wants to prove that it has many eyes, but there are at least seven pairs of colorful sunglasses of different sizes hanging all over half of its head. Its two tentacles swinging back and forth are also quite interesting. Not only are they wavy, but they also have two "little hands" "opened" on the top.
Adhering to the usual weird structure of insect monsters, the upper body of the giant butterfly monster is very short. Not only does it have a pair of exaggerated large wings on its back, but it also has two very strong arms and "towering" "chest muscles", indicating that it is very likely a "lady". The giant butterfly monster has no legs, and the lower half is relatively simple, just a bloated insect abdomen that occupies almost two-thirds of its body length. It usually relies entirely on the pair of wings to keep itself floating in the air about one meter above the ground, so this thing moves silently.
Because the colorful giant butterfly monster is only level 89 and has no followers, it is called the weakest. But this "weakest" is probably only relative to the other five bosses. In front of us players, the colorful spear in its hand can still give nightmares to the thickest knights. Just now, because I didn't expect there was such a top-notch monster nearby, I lifted the invisible state after seeing the fish on the tree. When I realized something was wrong, this beautiful insect had already rushed towards me.
Although I still had time to turn invisible, the princess and Jianjia Cangcang who might have a "close encounter" with this fat butterfly without any preparation. There was no way, it seemed that thieves were born to run away. With a sigh, I turned the folding crossbow and aimed at the giant butterfly demon that was still flying comfortably. I raised my hand and launched a sneak attack. The distance was a bit close, and I didn't care about the result. I turned around and ran away.
As soon as I rushed out of the woods, I saw two surprised pretty faces. There was no need to tell them what happened. The angry Boss behind me was enough to explain the problem. Because I had already attacked the giant butterfly demon first, it ignored the two frightened beauties and just stared at the hateful thief who "decorated" its pretty face with a steel arrow, and chased after it very persistently.
Actually, it is quite easy to get rid of a stupid butterfly that is not flying very fast in the woods, but now this place is already the edge of the misty swamp, and there are a lot of other monsters around. Not only do they all look very fierce, but they are also very "enthusiastic" when they see me, and they have to talk to me. As a result, while getting rid of the giant butterfly monster, I inevitably got a group of "wild animals" behind me. Even though the agility of a level 68 thief is already very high, the huge number of monsters still chased me up and down, and I was in a mess. In the end, I had no choice but to jump into a small river and "swim" for ten minutes before I finally got rid of all the followers.
"Hey, seriously, I really can't tell, your dog paddle is pretty good, you swim really fast." Jianjia Cangcang squatted on a big rock and teased me as I just got ashore. "Look at the way you look now, people who don't know would think a water demon has come ashore."
"Tsk, you are ignorant, aren't you? Little girl, if there are six big-mouthed crocodiles chasing you, I believe your speed can be comparable to that of a torpedo. This is called pressure creates power." I retorted while picking off the water plants wrapped around my head. Then, ignoring the blushing "little girl", I turned to the princess and sighed, "This game seems to have become more realistic recently. Look, if you fall into the river now, not only will you get soaked, but you will also bring some 'aquatic products' up with you." I turned up my collar, and a three-inch, lively little crocodile was pulled out by my tail.
"Yes, I heard that "Magic Flag" has been updated recently, but the content of the update has not been announced. Maybe it is to increase the sophistication of virtual reality." The princess smiled and wiped my face, then took the grinning little thing and put it back into the water.
"Hey, wife, you are too loving, aren't you? Just now, their whole family used their mouths full of white teeth to entertain me, your husband. Even if we don't make crocodile soup or something, you should at least let me step on them a few times to vent my anger, right?" I complained to the princess "indignantly".
"What are you, an 'old' thief, doing to a 'little' trash? You don't behave like a 'senior' at all." Jianjia Cangcang immediately seized the opportunity and stressed the words "old" and "little" on purpose to mock me for calling her a little girl.
I didn't reply immediately, but pointed in the direction behind her, made a gesture to her and the princess to prepare for battle, and then quickly hid behind a tree. Just now, in the bushes behind Jianjia Cangcang, I unexpectedly saw a flash of black shadow. Judging from the speed and strange movement, it should be a player with bad intentions. After seeing my gesture, the princess immediately called Qing to set up two tower shields in the direction I pointed, and Jianjia Cangcang did a front flip from the stone and landed behind the princess. Although the two of them didn't know what I had discovered, they also made defensive preparations in the first time out of trust in me.
Seeing that they were discovered, the two people hiding behind the tree seemed to discuss something, but soon they reached a consensus because they walked out together with their hands raised. The knight with a loud voice shouted from a distance: "Hey! Hey! Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong! We don't mean any harm!"
"I said, it would be better to just walk out openly, but you insisted on trying to approach covertly and suddenly show up. Now you've been discovered, right? You messed up, didn't you? How embarrassing." Long Ruowu walked with his greatsword on his back, muttering to the archer beside him.
"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to make a deep impression on that female knight? Otherwise, I wouldn't have used this method. You're talking so much nonsense when I'm helping you." The drowning fish immediately glared at him. "Besides, who knew that the thief's reconnaissance ability was so abnormal that he could even find us at this distance."
"Should I say thank you for the compliment? Or should I just give you a sword?" I said softly standing behind the fish. Five minutes was enough for me to get behind these two guys and attack them. It was just that they didn't seem to have any bad intentions, so I didn't really attack them.
"Oh my god!" Long Ruowu was so frightened that he jumped far away, "Are you a ghost? Why are you behind us?"
Although the drowning fish was also startled, his reaction was much more intense. When the dragon knight was imitating the kangaroo jump, the handsome elf had already turned around, put the arrow on his bow, and made a full moon. He did several actions in one go. As expected of a knight leader, his combat reaction speed was first-rate. However, before he could aim well, three green arrows flew over his scalp. Unfortunately, my head was right in the flight path of these arrows. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. I subconsciously flicked the Dragon Fang Blade in my hand left and right, and then turned my head sharply, and narrowly dodged the three arrows that shot at my life.
Looking up, I found that the archer was also sweating. Looking at the strands of hair slowly falling in the air, we both realized how dangerous it was to ignore a beautiful woman, especially when she was within the reach of the archery bow in her eldest lady's hand.
"Restore the bow slowly. If the arrow on the string goes out, I guarantee you will experience a perfect assault." The princess's Elf War Song pressed against the back of the drowning fish, preparing for the assault. Qing's cross saber was also placed next to Mr. Long's head.
"OK, I'm putting away my bow. Hey, hey, princess, I helped you make this love token from the sword master, you won't use it to cut me, will you?" The drowning fish put away his bow and arrow and spread his hands to show peace. He didn't notice that the weapon in the princess's hand had changed.
"Really? So you helped me to break the broken knife that almost killed me?" I said to the fish, but I looked at the princess with a smile. Haha, a token of love? The princess noticed my look, and her face turned slightly red.
"Blow up to death? What did you say?" The drowning fish turned around and looked at the princess's hand in confusion, "Huh? What, what is this?" After seeing the elf war song, the "fish eyes" widened even more.
"This thing is called Elven War Song." I explained to him "seriously", "Coincidentally, this thing was modified by me using the 'token of love' you mentioned as the raw material." Hearing me emphasize the token of love, the princess glared at me unnaturally.
"You modified the Hot-Blooded Crazy Song? Does that mean that the magic weapon enhancement can really succeed?" After hearing what I said, the drowning fish looked at the princess in surprise, "Ha! You dare to try with a 3% success rate? That's a good thing with 1 attack and 2 strength. The sword master must be very sad to know that you played it this way. He played with those salamander knights for three days before he got all the stones to smash it."
"It's useless for him to be sad now, the things have been changed. I just don't know if he can still keep his feelings." I continued to interject indifferently, it turns out that the broken knife has such a "tragic" story. "If it doesn't work, let him make another one, anyway, he knows where to send it."
"Serious!" The princess couldn't bear it any longer and looked at me coldly. There was a hint of anger and an obvious warning in her beautiful big eyes.
"What? Am I wrong?" I looked at her coldly. The guys who have been entangled with her recently are almost all the princess's "pre-marriage friends". Although I was mentally prepared, after eating so many flies in a row, it is inevitable that I feel annoyed with the "marriage agreement" with the princess for the first time. Isn't this agreement too cowardly for a husband? What the hell am I trying to do?
"Whatever you say." The clever princess certainly understood my silent accusation. Looking at me, her eyes gradually softened. After a moment, her pretty face suddenly turned to the side and she said softly, "I just want to tell you that no matter what others give me in the future, what I really hold in my hand is still the Elf Battle Song."
"Really?" I said softly, and in my heart, I couldn't help but feel happy. Turning around, I suddenly grabbed Mou Yu's collar and stared at his inexplicably handsome face solemnly, "Hello! My name is Yanzhang! The princess' husband, I'm glad to meet you!"
"Well, hello!" The drowning fish looked at the thief who claimed to be the princess' husband. Although he was confused by the conversation between the two people, he was more concerned about another issue. "Mr. Yanyan, the princess' husband, if you don't intend to strangle me, please put me down."
"Why did you come here alone? Did the golden oak leaf fall?" I had just put down the drowning fish and was staring at the handsome elf boy with hatred, so I couldn't wait to ask.
"Your super crow's mouth is still the same as before!" The drowning fish gave her a strange look, "Golden Oak Leaf has indeed disbanded."
"Why? Is it because of that team battle?" Jianjia Cangcang asked in surprise, and the princess also looked at him with a questioning look on her face.
"No." The drowning fish sighed, glanced at me, and said to the princess and the others, "It's the captain who's back."
I don't know who the leader he's talking about is, but it's definitely not the one who crosses the river and destroys the bridge. Looking at the expressions of the princess and Jianjia Cangcang, my heart suddenly moved, "The leader of Silver Oak Leaf?" The three elves knew that the leader I was talking about was not the insidious wizard. This can be seen from the three pairs of surprised eyes looking at me. "Damn, are thieves so quick to react?" I heard the almost whispering groan of the drowning fish. I looked down at the dragon tooth in my hand and couldn't help wondering, is this fish provoking me?
"Did she really find the Clear Sky Temple? Does that place really exist?" The princess waved her hand at me first, then asked the fish. "The world will probably be in trouble. It was he who designed the captain to look for that inexplicable ghost place."
"You know that with the captain's personality, she won't come back until she finds that damn place." The drowning fish smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Since she is really back now, it means that the place really exists. Moreover, after she came back, it only took her three days to make Guohe, Tianxia and Jiansheng become empty-handed. She is still so efficient."
"What about you? Were you kicked out too? The leader wouldn't want you as the 'elf killer', would he?" The little girl with a crow's mouth was a little curious.
"Haha, he's probably doing it for some crow-mouthed, slow-witted sister." The princess couldn't help but pinch Jianjia's cheek. After hearing what she said, I immediately understood, and the little girl who was pinched also blushed, and as for the drowning fish, it laughed even more bitterly. No wonder on the day of the team battle, these two knocked down a large number of people around them, but never shot an arrow at each other. It turns out! It's like this! Ah.
When our conversation came to an end, the four of us almost simultaneously remembered something we had forgotten: the Dragon Knight seemed to still be held at bay by Qing with a crusader sword! The princess turned around and quickly asked Qing to stop the battle. We were about to go up to him and say hello, but we didn't expect to hear a very interesting confession.
"Yeah, um, my name is Long Ruowu, I'm a level 48 knight. Although I like to fight, but I'm still a very good person..."
"You, you are very beautiful. Really, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
"Although it's a bit presumptuous for our first meeting, if possible, can we, can we, can we be friends?" The great knight Long Ruolong, as stiff as a tall stone sculpture, spoke the above to Qing incoherently.
No way? The female knight he wanted to impress was actually Qing! My God, he had been standing there for so long, didn't this guy realize that Qing was just a pet?
"I'm sorry, but that's probably not possible." The princess walked up to the knight who wanted to make friends with her pet and patted him in the face.
"Why! What does this have to do with you!" Not getting a response from the beauty, the knight roared at the princess angrily.
"Because..." The princess waved her hand and finished calling back her pet. "I don't want to find a player as a partner for my pet yet."
"She, she's a pet!" This time not only the knight was startled, the archer was also shocked, and both of them stared at the dissipating Qingsmoke in a daze. Haha, we all understand this feeling. After knowing Qingsmoke was a pet for the first time, everyone's reaction was similar.
"Forget it, ignore them and listen to me. I noticed that the giant butterfly monster just now seemed to be flying slowly in the woods. Since we now have the archers with the longest attack distance, you two think about whether it is possible to kill this treasure?" It seems that the two of them still need to adapt for a while. While I was running, I called the princess and Jianjia Cangcang to study the fat butterfly. I had already discovered when I was running away just now that the insect flew quite slowly in the woods.
"Yeah, I noticed this too, and it doesn't seem to have any long-range attack skills. With my shooting range, there should be a high chance that I can kill it if I'm careful." Jianjia Cangcang lowered his head and thought for a while, then answered with certainty.
"That won't work. There are too many other monsters around here. Jianjia can't run away at all." The princess quickly pointed out a fatal problem. "Even if you are the fastest runner here, there is no way to lure away monsters of different speeds at the same time, right? Don't count on me. In the woods, unicorns can't run at all. Asking me to lure monsters away is no different from sending myself to death."
Yes, there are indeed too many monsters in this place. It seems that the official design of "Magic Flag" is quite reasonable. With such a dense crowd of monsters, the giant butterfly monster does not need any followers at all. In fact, as long as we can lead those monsters away, the fat butterfly will be easy to get. However, the principle is very simple, but how to do it specifically? The three of us looked at each other in silence for a while.
"Hey, isn't this serious?" As several people were staring at each other, the big head of Whispering in the Wind suddenly popped out from the bushes on the left, "What are you doing here? Is there anything fun?"
"Yes! Of course!" I looked at the round face of the zebra warrior in front of me and smiled happily.
Hehehe, what a coincidence...
