26.4 - Meet Again, Xiao Suda (Three in One)

The spirit fox Hui Ge was struck dumb as he saw Xiao Suda. He was just teamed up to help Luobi Kuangfeng for a while. Why did boss and Yousi stay in the swamp?

He turned his eyes and was about to shoot toward them, but how could Yiye Feihua give him that chance?

“Archer!” Yiye Feihua bellowed in a deep voice. His teammates Yang Yang and Maomao Yin immediately understood and singled out the archer with wild attacks so that he had no chance of interfering with Xiao Ran at all.

“What can I do, Kuangfeng-laoda!” The holy monk player asked worriedly as he saw that the situation wasn’t very good.

Luobi Kuangfeng glanced greedily at the Water Serpent elite. At that time, it’s blood volume had gradually decreased almost to the blood limit, and it’s entire body began to turn red.

With a sigh of release, he announced: “The boss is dying, kill it quickly!”

At that time the body of the Water Serpent elite was red, and the toxic gas had spread along the swamp ground to completely surround them.

“Retreat!” After the swordsman player shouted in a calm and cold voice, he took the lead and leapt back to the safe area.

What he didn’t expect that even though he hadn’t yet landed firmly, Yiye Feihua appeared beside him in a strange formation. He flew toward him with a dragon knight’s Gale Kick and the gravitational bonus set off by the shield and giant axe propelled the swordsman player into the swamp beside him. His combat power hadn’t diminished even the slightest.

He had been in Shenzhou for so long, and he was already intimately aware of the eight major occupations. At that time, it was quite easy to use dragon knight skills. There was no trace of overshooting, his timing seemed instinctive, and his shot was resolute and fierce.

“What the fuck???!!!” The swordsman player was at a loss. He turned and saw the Water Serpent elite, whose hatred value was still aimed at him, as it twisted, seal-painted tongue drilling into his neck.

At that point, half of the six people in Luobi Kuangfeng’s team were stuck in the swamp.

Luobi Kuangfeng was almost dead. The boss’s hatred was now firmly targeting their team. If the boss went to attack Yiye Feihua and the others, the serpent’s tail would be very painful to toss on their bodies, ah!

“Kill the boss, kill the boss, kill it quickly!” Luobi Kuangfeng shouted at the holy monk player and Hui Ge as the three of them went all out trying to damage the boss.

The red-blooded boss naturally wouldn’t be able to last much longer against such a fierce onslaught. It stretched its snake-like neck, let out a weak hiss, and weakly collapsed.

At that moment, other than Xiao Suda and Meng Ruo Yousi, their team was all Level 40. Ig they hadn’t completed the breakthrough mission, they wouldn’t be able to gain experience. However, it wasn’t experience that Luobi Kuangfeng wanted, but the rare materials dropped by the elite that would help relieve the pressure of the current battle situation.

At that moment, as the boss died, a piece of glowing orange equipment and two rare materials scattered across the ground. Luobi Kuangfeng could hear the pounding of his own heartbeat.

Orange outfit!

If he saw it, then Yiye Feihua naturally saw it too. He rushed to pick it up first, and Luobi Kuangfeng called out the ID of the holy monk player. The holy monk player understood it within his heart, and despite being a glass cannon magic user, directly blocked Yiye Feihua’s path with his body as Luobi Kuangfeng hurried over. Just as his hand was about to make contact with the orange outfit, a vine suddenly emerged from the ground and tightly constricted him.

At the same time, a set of clean and white fingers easily hooked the orange item into his own hands.

Luobi Kuangfeng’s eyes were so wide they were about to burst in rage!

“Thank you for your hard work.” Xiao Ran said, then shoved the orange outfit in his hand into his belt and picked up the other two rare materials.

He was waiting for that moment.

Generally speaking, when enemies meet in the wild, they have to take the chance to snatch away a boss for experience. But at that moment, their team was at max level except for Yiye Feihua, and experience was useless to him. Since the other three were all Level 40 with no experience gain, they also didn’t care about claiming the boss at all. What they really wanted to grab was the boss drops.

It could be said that God of the Underworld’s work was quite irritating.

Luobi Kuangfeng’s heart almost shattered into debris. It took a while for him to realize that Xiao Ran’s face was somewhat familiar. Wasn’t this the player who had first bought that equipment!

“It’s you!” Luobi Kuangfeng said through gritted teeth.

That conversation was also too familiar. Just a few minutes ago, Xiao Suda also gave a similar welcome. It must be said that the world is small, and acquaintances meet at every turn.

Seeing Xiao Ran’s face clearly, Luobi Kuangfeng felt something was off. Hadn’t this guy been messing around with Xiao Suda? Why did he suddenly come here?!

As soon as Luobi Kuangfeng shifted his eyes, he almost fainted from lack of breath. The only two teammates who could receive experience had been incapacitated. In the blink of an eye, the experience that they finally obtained by defeating the boss had disappeared with the drop of one level, not to mention the sour taste in their mouths.

How could it be so quick!

Luobi Kuangfeng was astonished. He dodged Xiao Ran’s attack as he observed the surrounding situation. Xiao Suda and Meng Ruo Yousi have been incapacitated by Xiao Ran, the swordsman player was struggling in the swamp, Hui Ge was having a nervous breakdown and held up by Yang Yang and Maomao Yin, and the holy monk player…… Where did the holy monk player go?!

Luobi Kuangfeng was alarmed. He turned his eyes quickly and found that the holy monk player thar was using his body to try and block Yiye Feihua was swiftly tossed into the air. Yiye Feihua turned around and instantly put a shield behind him, so he slammed onto the shield and down into the swamp……

Another one down!

Luobi Kuangfeng felt a sudden sense of powerlessness. Even when there were six people, they couldn’t do anything against those four, let alone now that it was only him and Hui Ge. He immediately threw an Ink-Splashing Palm to repel Xiao Ran, then turned around and fled.

This time he was truly careless. He still had a fragment of the Underground Palace Stone Statue with him, so he shouldn’t have been so arrogant! He had to escape from there quickly!

“Hui-ge, cover me!” Luobi Kuangfeng shouted.

Hui-ge glanced at him in displeasure, but he also knew the importance of the Underground Palace Stone Statue fragments. At that time, even if all five of them died, nothing could happen to Luobi Kuangfeng, as the fragments of the Pan Long Underground Palace Entry Ticket would be burst upon death. 1 If they were lost during a breakthrough mission, the guild master would skin them!

Just as Luobi Kuangfeng breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a wall made entirely of vines appeared in front of him, blocking his path. A the dragon knight’s great axe flashed, and a floating skill simultaneously lifted the pair into the air. In the next second, Fentou Bengdi dropped the giant axe and shield in his hands, leapt into the air, and kicked at them with a fierce Gale Kick. Generally speaking, the Gale Kick skill could only affect a single target, but the timing with which the vine wall had appeared was ingenious. The two players just happened to be stacked together, so Yiye Feihua packed and rolled them together and kicked them into the swamp.

Luobi Kuangfeng was worthy of being the elite Shen Bi cultivated by Wo Bu Ru Diyu Shei Ru 2 himself. Now that his entire team had fallen into the pit, he could still think of a clear way to escape, and screamed at the top of his lungs: “Waterfall Impact! Waterfall Impact!”

Waterfall Impact was a ranged levitation skill for holy monks. Holo games were all about realism; although the team’s ability to deal skill damage was now invalid, they still had access to the effects of their skills. Levitation skills could still float things in the air, and repulsing skills could skill repulse. Luobi Kuangfeng shouted that in the hopes that the holy monk player on their team could blast him and Hui-ge out.

The holy monk player’s skill level wasn’t low. Once he understood and was about to use Waterfall Impact, Xiao Ran’s Luofeng Brush fell from the sky and interrupted his cast.

“Boss, I can’t do it, ah!” The holy monk player burst into tears.

Luobi Kuangfeng saw that there was no hope of fighting their way out of the situation, but he still refused to give up. He had held back his final move – harshly coughing out some words: “Do you know who I am?! I’m an elite player personally trained by the guild master of God of the Underworld. If you’re sensible, let us go today, otherwise I…… wu!”

A final sound disappeared into the swamp as the huge body of the Baby Iron Bear sat on him.

Maomao Yin shrugged innocently: “I definitely didn’t do that on purpose.”

Trustworthy, ah!!!

The moment the Baby Iron Bear touched the surface of the swamp, there was a bubbling noise, as if someone was farting on Luobi Kuangfeng’s head. Realizing that, Luobi Kuangfeng became so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

But before he could explode, his five sensory organs were all submerged in the mud, and so his life was taken first and he died.

The remaining three players were also doomed, and they disappeared in the swamp, aggrieved tears transforming into golden light.

Only two pieces of equipment remained shining in the swamp.

This team instance was no better than PKing in the wild. The equipment wasn’t guaranteed to burst, but there was a certain chance that it would be dropped, depending on the character. Six elite players and three pieces of purple equipment could be said to be rather lucky.

Three pieces, that’s right. When Xiao Suda died before, her staff really dropped for Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran scooped up the equipment one by one without remorse. Specifically, he picked up the Spirit Fox’s Level 40 purple gauntlets and the Swordsman’s Level 40 purple boots.

The gauntlets were directly given to Yang Yang, since he could use it, and everyone negotiated over the remaining boots and staff. Yang Yang, who got the gauntlets, chose to give up. Yiye Feihua also naturally chose to give up, so the former was placed into Maomao Yin’s bag, and the latter was kept by Xiao Ran.

The Water Serpent Elite had dropped a Level 40 orange equipment for Shen Bi, the Serpent Ring, as well as two rare materials, Snake Skin and Snake Fangs. Yang Yang and Maomao Yin really didn’t do much. After receiving two pieces of equipment, they packed them away and were settled. They stalwartly refused to say anything more, instead letting Xiao Ran accept it all himself. Xiao Ran nodded, and unceremoniously put the items away.

This jewelry was the equipment type with the lowest burst rate at any level. That is, it didn’t occupy an equipment space, and it was an orange equipment tier. It could be said that the ring’s value far exceeded that of the three purple equipment combined. The Serpent Ring increased the player’s night vision and spell cooldown, and more importantly, it had a base spell damage of 98. For Xiao Ran, who was practically naked, it was like rain after a long drought, and he equipped it without even thinking.

After sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils, the group of people were about to leave, but the sharp-eyed Xiao Ran saw what seemed to be a small, off-white object lying in the swamp where Luobi Kuangfeng died.

“What is that?” Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and asked.

Half of the small object’s body was sunk into the swamp mud, leaving only a small dragon’s head floating on top. If he didn’t look carefully, it would be easy to miss.

Xiao Ran stepped forward and pulled the small object out from the mud.

It was a realistic and lifelike stone statue of Zhulong. 3 The moment the candle dragon was fished out of the mud, the system immediately refreshed the mud on it, revealing its original majestic and lofty appearance.

“Great God Zhulong?” Maomao Yin exclaimed. Zhulong was the main god in Shenzhou. The heroic figure of Elder Zhulong could be seen throughout every main city of all levels in Shenzhou, so players would naturally be familiar with it.

Naturally, the stone statue engraved into the figure of Zhulong wasn’t an ordinary object. When Xiao Ran picked up the stone statue, he had felt a premonition in his heart. It wasn’t until after he used his reconnaissance skill that a meaningful arc appeared on his lips.

[Prop (Rare): Pan Long Underground Palace Stone Statue 4 (Incomplete)

Item Description: Instance ‘Pan Long Underground Palace’ Entry Ticket Fragment ¼]

“It turned out to be this.” Xiao Ran said cheerfully—

On the other side, as Xiao Suda squatted under a certain moist boulder in the swamp forest, her face was so dark it was as if ink was dripping out.

“Why do you still want to take revenge on us? We used your purple equipment so well at first, but in the end we couldn’t keep it forever and let Gumu break it down into materials. Now I’m playing with it in my new weapon. Want to try it?”

“Oh? I believe the orange weapon in your hand is even more convenient. Wouldn’t it be good to break it down and enhance my weapon?”

“Then come and try it!”

……

Xiao Ran’s voice repeated in her mind over and over, like a magical voice in her ears.

Death in an instance was no better than PK in the wild. The probability that she would bump into him was so low. Not to mention, with so much equipment on her body, she preferred to just throw away the weapon without dying!

Xiao Suda felt her cheeks burn hot, as if someone had slapped her to the brink of death.

Weapons! Weapons, ah! The item she had snatched out of Xiao Ran’s hands back then had been a weapon! But how could a purple weapon at Level 5 compare to a purple weapon at Level 40? That’s the difference between a pig’s head and an immortal!

Xiao Suda’s heart had broken into eight hearts and eight arrows…… 4

She stayed under the rock and calmed herself for almost ten minutes before she fiercely patted her face, turned on her team chat, and asked: “How’s it going? Have you killed those four players?”

In her opinion, she and Yousi had been caught because of low defense. Although they got along with their other teammates like day and night, and she was quite clear about their strength. After she and Yousi were taken out, they were at most just going to have to fight a little harder. How could they lose? That was absolutely impossible.

As soon as Xiao Suda’s words left her mouth, there was dead silence in the team chat.

Xiao Suda: “……”

Xiao Suda: “……How many are still alive?”

Xiao Suda: “……You can’t be completely wiped out, ba!”

Swordsman Player: “You shut your mouth!”

Xiao Suda couldn’t say anything more, and felt as if the other half of her face had also been slapped.

The team chat was silent for about three minutes before Luobi Kuangfeng’s voice hissed out like a venomous snake: “Where is everyone now? Let’s meet up first.”

After all, the leader was the leader. As soon as Luobi Kuangfeng gave the order, the other five people muffled their frustrations. After reporting their coordinates, they reported to a previously surveyed hidden area as a rendezvous point.

Five minutes later, the six of them had finally reunited, each with a heavy expression on their faces.

Luobi Kuangfeng, who had lost the Entry Ticket fragment, had a particularly heavy expression. Without even getting close to him, they could feel the frosty pressure around him.

Luobi Kuangfeng was silent for three seconds, then said wickedly: “We have to fight back!”

The holy monk player immediately placated him: “Of course, of course! We were unlucky just now. They were too despicable, sneak attacking us when we were fighting a the boss! This time we have to make sure they don’t look good!”

The swordsman player also added: “Is there any spare equipment for those of us who lost ours? Let’s replace them and kill them!”

For super guilds like God of the underworld, many of the equipment worn by elite players didn’t belong to the players themselves, but to the guild. After all, elite players were just a few people who were specially supported by their guild. They often needed various sets of equipment with different attributed to face different instances, or in case of emergency. Level 40 equipment wasn’t that rare, so they did have another set of equipment for PVE in their bags.

Xiao Suda and the others didn’t speak, but silently equipped the gear to replace the ones that had been dropped. Everyone was harmonious and didn’t mention the Pan Long Underground Palace Stone Statue.

Xiao Suda asked: “Where should we go to find them now? We won’t be fighting a boss this time, so they shouldn’t have any advantage, and they may hide……”

As soon as Xiao Suda finished speaking, the team’s voice chat rang.

Yiye Feihua: “We didn’t leave that place were we just PK’d you just now. You guys can come here and die!”

Xiao Suda: “……”

She almost didn’t know how to describe that slap in the face QAQ.

Xiao Ran: The revenge of the year before last will finally be avenged this year 🙂
