Chapter 13 Will You Dance Too?
After a moment, the team's healer weakly spoke up:
"I mean, is it possible... that it's not a monster, but just a stone platform?"
"A stone?!" The guard with the sword touched it, pondered its feel, and was immediately stunned:
"No, this drug has such severe side effects, it's just randomly displaying images in my brain?"
"What locals perceive as an illusion, is it just a display error for players?"
Fang Qi recorded the experimental data from the back.
Seeing the guards with swords standing still, checking the scene and checking for side effects with their teammates, he decided not to wait any longer and quietly bypassed the four of them.
Fang Qi followed along partly because he had nothing else to do and wanted to see the effects of the medicine, and partly to see if there was any profit to be made.
As they descended, the scene became increasingly eerie.
At some point, the flames lighting the wall had changed from a warm red to a chilling, eerie green.
There are many grotesque-looking ghosts lurking on both sides of the path, ready to surprise players at any time.
but……
Fang Qi seems to be outside their logic of identifying enemies.
Clang, clang.
"What's that sound? Someone's coming?" A female demon, who was fairly good-looking, poked her head out in confusion and looked around.
Its mission is to lie in ambush at this corner, and jump out and let out a terrifying howl whenever someone passes by.
It would be best to take down a few, but even if that's not possible, it's still a good start and an advantage in the battle.
"Nobody's here?" It searched for a long time and was about to return to its original position.
"Whoa!"
A gaping maw lunges at you!
The female demon, who always enjoyed frightening people, screamed in terror!
"Did you hear that? I think I'm hallucinating?" The guard with a sword at the front of the group suddenly stopped.
"No, I'm not hallucinating. This time it's for real." The three nodded in unison.
"It should be background sound effects."
The guard with the sword curled his lip, thinking to himself that this potion was a total rip-off, and he would never use it again...
Well, I'll give it a try. A tank that doesn't require damage reduction or healing is really fun to play.
The four players cautiously advanced, while ahead, Fang Qi looked at the terrified Banshee Elite and couldn't help but laugh.
He used to get his face jumped on by these corner monsters when he played games, but now karma has finally caught up with him and he's finally gotten his revenge.
"Let's go!" He was in a good mood, turned the corner, and headed towards the deepest part of the area.
As you round the bend, a figure appears on the platform.
Fang Qi stared intently at it.
It turned out to be a human-bodied, octopus-headed monster wearing robes, about the same height as Roxi?
The staff looks to be in good condition; it should be worth some money.
He should be able to win, but he has no intention of doing it himself.
No need, it's not worth it.
Fang Qi's destination was the innermost storage room.
Monks are usually quite wealthy, so let's see what specialties they have in their cemeteries!
The octopus monster was engrossed in carving something resembling incantations on the altar when Fang Qi took advantage of its inattention and darted away.
Behind the altar was a hidden door, and the smell of gold coins was very strong inside.
However, he didn't have the key, and breaking in would be too noisy and inconvenient at the moment, so he had no choice but to wait patiently outside.
Fortunately, not long after, the faint sounds of players discussing things could be heard from above.
"I remember there was an elite banshee at the intersection that would jump out and unleash fear. That's weird, isn't it?"
"That shadow just now looked a bit like..."
"Then why did it run away, guard?"
The guard with the sword said in a heavy tone, "It split into two mimics and ran away."
"...?" The air suddenly fell silent.
"I told you not to ask me anymore..." The guard with the sword paused, "Let's start the fight, get the first kill, or things will get complicated!"
"The monster is about to be attacked!" Fang Qi heard it clearly and immediately retreated a few meters, gathering his strength on the spot.
boom!
There was a violent tremor above.
Boom!
He took the opportunity to smash a large hole in the door and break in.
The slight sound was buried in the octopus monster's gurgling, phlegmy roars.
"A small pile of gold coins, a treasure chest, three magic crystals... How can a leader be so poor?"
Fang Qi muttered to himself, walked around the stinking pile of fish by the door, and headed towards the treasure chest.
The wooden crate opened with a click.
Two books and three pieces of equipment glowing green appeared before them.
[Deep Sea Priest's Summoning Notes, quest item.]
[Poisoned Arrow, Archer Class Skill Book.]
It looks like a player-exclusive item, nothing rare, and the trading terminal only gave it a D-grade rating.
It's useless, don't want it.
The three pieces of equipment are quite interesting.
A staff, a mage's robe, and a thick book that could even be used to smash someone.
In addition to the basic attributes, each attribute increases maximum mana, which can increase the maximum mana cap.
All ratings are C-grade, which is considered beginner equipment. In the eyes of players at this stage, it should be pretty good.
But for Fang Qi, it's a bit of a double-edged sword.
These are all beginner equipment items, and it's easy to accumulate too much inventory.
He's about to head to Morning's pirate ship, so he definitely won't have time to sell for the next few days.
By the time you come back next time, the player's level will have already increased, and they'll just be considered trash.
Things acquired outside of trading, even if consumed, don't add to the index; they just take up space, and releasing them results in pure loss...
Taking it away makes absolutely no sense!
Fang Qi thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a light breath, putting the mage's robe into his pocket.
This robe was produced by the system. Although the style is a bit retro and the attributes are negligible, it is brand new.
Take it back and give it to Little Dragon Girl to change.
Loxi's brightly colored mage robes were so filthy; anyone who didn't know better would think he was misappropriating his assets!
As for the remaining two weapons... let the players have them.
It's so unfair that someone works so hard to clear the game and then gets nothing in return!
Picking up the gold coins and magic crystals along the way, Fang Qi went up the steps beside him.
Inside the altar, the four humans and one monster were locked in a fierce battle.
The octopus-like mage's attack struck the guard with a sword, displaying a blue magic damage indicator and a white "0".
It looks like a mixed injury of spirit and magic.
Its health was down to just over 30%, and it seemed hopeless; it would soon be worn down and killed.
However, the four players remained tense, not daring to relax for a moment, and kept their eyes fixed on the leader's movements.
The tentacles below the octopus monster's head suddenly turned red.
"Boss, the mechanic has started, be careful to interrupt it!" shouted the archer responsible for observing the battlefield and providing early warnings.
The guard with the sword nodded, used his reserved dash skill, and charged forward suddenly.
However, instead of interrupting the octopus monster while it was casting, as planned, they did not do so.
Instead, with a look of self-sacrifice in his eyes, and a black ripple above his head, he grabbed the octopus by its staff and tentacles, and shouted:
"I get it, this is a QTE (Quick Time Event), she's inviting me to dance!"
"I'll take it!" The guard with the sword forcefully pulled the tentacle up, forcing the octopus monster to spin several times!
Seeing this, he reached out and grabbed the staff.
Without using any interrupt skills, the interruption task was completed perfectly, even managing to stop the octopus monster from casting its ultimate attack.
"Backlash!"
The blue text appeared on the octopus, along with the effects of being vulnerable and stunned.
"Focus fire, unleash the devastating attack!"
Without needing to be told, the other three unleashed their most damaging skills.
