Chapter 26

"Neither is it right..." Li Huailin thought for a moment and felt something was still off. After all, if someone who could heal him ended up killing him by healing, that would be too suspicious, and it would definitely make people feel uneasy.

"Ah, what should I do... If I had known, I would have trained as a priest. I could have just kept healing myself to level up. But I can't change my class now..." Li Huailin said with great regret.

Of course, while he was thinking all sorts of things, his hands didn't stop working. After a series of frenzied attacks, the BOSS's health was already down to about 50%.

"Be careful, when the BOSS's health drops to 50%, it will release a toxic fog on the ground. The fog can last for about 30 seconds, and there can be up to three patches of fog in the entire area. The fixed damage is 100 health points per second, and you need to move away immediately," Red Moon, watching the BOSS's health, immediately shouted to Li Huailin.

"Oh, I'm not afraid," Li Huailin smiled. The BOSS had been normal for a while but then started to mess with him again, healing him 100 health points per second, making it hard for him to die.

Sure enough, as soon as Red Moon finished speaking, the BOSS immediately swung its wooden stick, and a patch of toxic fog appeared instantly. The fog appeared right in front of the BOSS, covering both Li Huailin and Red Moon.

+100, +100...

Toxic Fog: Reduces 100 health points per second.

Li Huailin's health, which had been slightly reduced by the BOSS and Red Moon's attacks, was immediately restored to full by the toxic fog. However, Red Moon's face changed drastically, and she quickly took a step back to leave the fog. At the same time, she professionally took out a health potion from her bag and drank it.

"Damn! Why didn't I think of that!" Seeing Red Moon drink a health potion, Li Huailin was taken aback. "Red Moon, give me a health potion!"

"Your health is full, isn't it?" Red Moon looked at the health bar in the party information, which showed that Li Huailin's health was always full. She asked curiously, "And do you not carry health potions when you go out?"

"Damn, stop asking so many questions, just give me one," Li Huailin said hurriedly.

"Here." Red Moon was taken aback but still moved closer to Li Huailin and threw him a health potion.

Medium Healing Potion: Restores 35 health points per second for 6 seconds.

Healing potions come in two types: regular healing potions, which restore health over a few seconds, and instant healing potions, which restore health all at once. Instant healing potions are very valuable, and at this stage, there are no alchemy recipes for them, and the materials are hard to collect. Therefore, most players use regular healing potions, which, although they take a few seconds to restore health, are cheap, easy to make, and affordable.

Seeing the medium healing potion Red Moon handed him, Li Huailin was delighted and drank it without a word.

-35, -35...

Sure enough, as Li Huailin had expected, after drinking the healing potion, a negative status appeared in his negative magic bar.

Potion: Loses 35 health points per second for 6 seconds.

"Awesome!" Li Huailin swung his sword fiercely, hitting the last bit of health from the poor BOSS, the Snake Handler Derjash.

"Snake god... have you abandoned your people..." The Snake Handler Derjash, with a look of unwillingness, knelt forward, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed on the ground.

Battle Log: Your team has defeated the second BOSS of the Snake Cave, the Snake Handler Derjash, losing 450 experience points.

System Notice: Instance cleared, final score being calculated.

System Notice: Clear time 27 minutes and 21 seconds, completion rate 75%, final score B, reward experience 800.

"Yay... We made it!" Red Moon was the first to jump up.

However, she didn't expect that someone would be even happier than her. As soon as Red Moon jumped up, Li Huailin immediately hugged her.

"Damn, I can finally level up!" Li Huailin said excitedly.

System Notice: You are suspected of harassing player "Huailin." Do you want to use the system's lightning to punish this player?

Red Moon was taken aback for a moment, and then a system notice immediately woke her up.

"Ah, don't strike my brother-in-law!" Red Moon's first reaction was this, but her face immediately turned red. "How can my brother-in-law do this... in front of my sister..."

Red Dust, who was also happy about clearing the instance, immediately turned black when she saw Li Huailin hugging Red Moon. She stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Hey! Pervert, let go of Shui'er!"

"You guys divide the loot, I have an emergency and need to leave first. We'll talk next time." At this point, Li Huailin didn't care about letting go or not. After saying this, he put down Red Moon and ran towards the instance entrance. Of course, Li Huailin, who had never bought anything from a general store, had no idea about the convenience of a return scroll. Fortunately, the instance wasn't far from the main city, and Li Huailin knew the direction, so he ran back without a word.

"This guy, running so fast!" Seeing Li Huailin suddenly run away, Red Dust stomped her foot in anger and immediately walked to Red Moon's side. "Are you okay? Why didn't you strike that pervert?"

Red Moon's face was still flushed with embarrassment, and she didn't know how to answer Red Dust. She thought to herself, "I didn't think my sister was right, my brother-in-law really is a pervert..."

"Hmm? Hmm?" Red Blood, who lived to tease Red Dust, suddenly came over and said with a mischievous smile, "I feel like someone is very nervous, jealous? Or jealous of your own cousin?"

"Ah!" Red Moon let out a startled cry and nervously glanced at her sister. "Sister, nothing happened between me and my brother-in-law, you... you don't misunderstand."

"What are you talking about, I have nothing to do with him either," Red Dust said anxiously, feeling more and more confused. "I was just worried about Shui'er, what does that have to do with being jealous!"

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about it." The guild leader, Red Moon, clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. "Let's divide the loot and talk about love and romance later."

"There's no love and romance!" Red Dust said hurriedly.

"Alright, I'll loot the body." Red Moon said and started to search the corpse.

"A blue item appeared." A blue light flashed, and Red Moon's face lit up. Although she was the guild leader, she didn't have a single blue item on her, and she never expected to get the guild's first blue item on her first instance run.

Snake Handler's Steel Chestplate (Silver): Plate armor, physical defense 20-30, magic defense 15-15, strength +10, constitution +10. Requires level 15.

"Good luck, and it's tank equipment, a blue chestplate. If I sell this on the market now, I think I can get more than 5 gold, maybe even 10 gold. It's a godsend for clearing instances, and it won't be hard to sell," Red Moon said with a serious expression.

"Wow, this is great, guild leader, put it on quickly." Red Blood was also delighted. If he had this equipment earlier, the guild would have had a lot more confidence in clearing this instance.

"Huailin is also a warrior..." Red Moon thought for a moment and said, "He led the entire instance, and if we take the loot without a word, isn't that a bit..."

"Who asked him to chase after our Dust? A little contribution is necessary," Red Blood said with a mischievous smile.

"Hmm..." Red Moon frowned and didn't say anything.

"Guild leader, if he wanted the loot, he wouldn't have left without waiting for the loot to be divided," Red Blood, seeing Red Moon's serious expression, stopped joking and became serious. "I think he probably doesn't care about the loot here, don't make yourself unhappy."

"Blood, don't you think this guy... is strange in many ways?" Red Moon thought for a moment and said.

"Of course, do you think there's anything not strange about this guy since we met him?" Red Blood smiled bitterly. "If he doesn't want to say, should we force him to?"

"I know, that's why I didn't ask." Red Moon smiled. "I just suddenly thought, if this guy joins our guild..."

"Right." Red Blood's eyes lit up, but he quickly realized something. "No, he's a guy, and our guild is all girls, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Is my brother-in-law going to join our guild? Great, great!" Red Moon suddenly interjected, "Playing with my brother-in-law is so much fun, he will definitely make our guild more interesting!"

"No way!" Red Dust said nervously. "Our guild only accepts female players."

"Family members can also be accepted," the guild leader, Red Moon, said with a mischievous smile.

"What do you mean by family members, I really have nothing to do with him," Red Dust said quickly.

"See, I didn't even say whose family member, and you admitted it yourself," Red Moon smiled.

"Eh? I... I..." Red Dust was at a loss for words.

"Alright, you silly girl, at this rate, you probably won't get married even when you're my age. I don't count on you." Red Moon sighed and then turned to Red Moon. "Shui'er, I have a task for you. Go and get your brother-in-law to join our guild."

"Sure, sure, guild leader, you're the best." Red Moon said excitedly.
