The five people rested on the spot to recuperate from their injuries and temporarily stopped exploring the cave. They found some firewood and built a bonfire. Everyone ate one or two baked eggs to restore their health. The pain gradually decreased to a minimum and entered a tolerable range.
Zhang Mu distributed the remaining biscuits, chocolates, and ham sausages in his backpack among several people so that everyone could fully fill their stomachs. The team was very tired after the battle with the Skeleton Mage, so Zhang Mu decided to rest for a few hours before continuing to move deeper into the cave.
This place is so remote that it is basically impossible for anyone to come in. The skeleton monsters in the cave won't move around at will. Are you worried that they will grow wings and fly? Only by adjusting your body and mind to the best condition can you exert your highest combat effectiveness and achieve the most glorious results.
The environment is getting colder and colder, making people very uncomfortable. But a few people are exhausted physically and mentally, so why would they care about this
Leng Yun lay on the ground, pillowing her head with a piece of hard wood, looking at the swaying bonfire, and soon became hazy. She entered the Blood Forest and never closed her eyes. This was the first time she fell asleep.
She slept like a baby, and had several dreams intermittently. Leng Yun dreamed of going back to the past, working hard for her thesis studies, and running around for trivial matters in life. There were too many suitors who were as endless as flies and came one after another. She is particularly disgusted with a few rich men, they are like dog-skin plaster, which makes people upset. She has been full of resistance and disgust towards men with glamorous appearance and fickle words since she was a child!
Leng Yun dreamed of her long-lost mother, her annoying father, her long-dead grandma... She seemed to be living an ordinary life before the disaster.
In the dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for pleasure for a while.
However, it is a dream after all.
When consciousness was pulled back from the dream, cold, pain, and fatigue swept over me.
Leng Yun's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her blurred eyes. What she saw was still the bonfire, but the wood was burned out, leaving only some blackened charcoal. The charcoal was slightly red, with a little heat remaining. Her body was covered with coagulated stinky mud and blood, and there was no clean spot left, which made her, who always loved cleanliness, very uncomfortable.
Because the ground was uneven and her pillow was made of hard wood, she felt sore all over after sleeping for a long time.
"Dreams are all just a dream..." Leng Yun looked at the extinguished bonfire, sighed quietly, and thought to herself: "It would be great if it were true."
At this time, a slightly low, hoarse but magnetic voice came from the side: "Are you awake?"
Zhang Mu sat quietly against the wall. He was wearing leather armor on the upper body and jeans on the lower body. He was dressed in a nondescript manner. The pants were already in tatters. As for the leather armor, there were many gaps and traces of being burned. His hair was even messy. Even worse than a beggar, his face was covered in mud and blood, and his appearance was hard to distinguish, except for his eyes, which were exceptionally clear and bright.
Leng Yun felt a little less disappointed, nodded slightly, and asked in surprise: "Aren't you asleep?"
Zhang Mu said calmly: "In this case, there must always be someone keeping vigil."
Leng Yun didn't expect that Zhang Mu would silently protect everyone when others were sleeping, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved. Just when she was about to speak, Zhang Mu stood up: "Let's just wake everyone up, we are about to set off."
"yes."
Leng Yun also stood up. She put on her magic robe. The dark blue robe was a bit loose and could not completely cover her plump figure.
Zhang Mu walked up to the fat man who was lying on the ground with his legs in the air, snoring like thunder, and kicked his round belly: "Damn fat man, wake up!"
The fat man drooled all over the floor and sat up in a daze, "Why, it's dawn?" His hair and eyebrows were burned off, turning him into a bald fat man, which looked a bit funny.
Sun Bing and Chen Ling also woke up.
Sun Bing put on the soldier's armor. The hard, thick luster of the metal, coupled with the tall and majestic figure, can still give people a sense of security. Soldier armor is a set of metal plate armor, which is a kind of armor made of large pieces of plate metal. Compared with scale armor and mail armor, it has higher defensive power, but it lacks flexibility and has only a few close combat capabilities. Only professions can wear heavy plate armor, and knight is one of them.
After resting, Chen Ling's mental state improved a lot. Her clothes were torn in many places, exposing her delicate skin. She was a beautiful young woman who still had charm. Although she was not as good as Leng Yun, she was still outstanding, but In this environment, no one will pay attention, let alone me.
Zhang Mu said: "Get organized and prepare to continue fighting."
The fat man was full of energy, took out the jungle blade, and inserted it into the ground with a scrape: "Stand by at any time, I have been resurrected at full strength!"
Zhang Mu nodded with satisfaction and led the team deeper into the cave. It didn't take long before they encountered skeleton soldiers and the battle began. It took about an hour to kill a dozen skeleton soldiers in total. Zhang Mu's experience increased to 65%. It wouldn't take long for him to level up again if the speed continued.
Along the way, a few pieces of bone jewelry dropped.
After Zhang Mu and Sun Bing, Fatty also collected the suits, and Leng Yun and Chen Ling each got one or two accessories.
The fat man suddenly shouted: "Why is there light in front of me?"
Zhang Mu looked over and saw that there was indeed light at the corner of the passage, "It's probably the end."
"It's over so soon?" Fatty said depressedly, "We haven't killed enough yet!"
Elite monsters have high experience and a high explosion rate. If you can keep brushing them, several people will soon be upgraded, and you can also get more equipment, which will enhance the strength of the team. It's a pity that it ended like this.
Zhang Mu said: "This is just a small elite area in the wild, there will still be opportunities."
Several people walked around the corner, and as expected, there was an exit in front of them.
However, there is a space of several hundred square meters in front of the cave exit. A particularly tall skeleton was guarding there, and behind it was a gorgeous and exquisite black iron treasure box. It was more advanced than the [exquisite black iron treasure box] that Zhang Mu saw at the bottom of the river. This was a [luxury black iron treasure box] with a high grade. Out a lot.
Everyone looked happy when they saw the treasure chest, but when they saw the skeleton standing in front of the treasure chest, they couldn't help but be stunned.
[Iron Skeleton] (Silver Elite Monster), level 7, life 700, magic 400, attributes? ? ? ,Skill? ?
Sun Bing said in surprise: "This is a silver elite!"
Zhang Mu nodded: "I know."
Leng Yun frowned and said: "The Death Mantis we encountered was a level 6 silver elite. If it weren't for good luck, our group would have been wiped out. This time it was a level 7 silver elite, and its strength may be stronger than The Death Mantis is more powerful, can we win?"
The fat man cried out: "You're so scared, just go up and fuck her grandma as I say!"
Chen Ling showed a hint of fear. The power of the Death Mantis left some shadows in her heart. Now she has to face a monster that may be stronger than the Death Mantis. Everyone looked at Zhang Mu, waiting for the captain to speak.
"This night of killing elite monsters, our equipment and strength have improved tremendously. They can no longer be compared with yesterday." Zhang Mu paused and continued: "Elite monsters are the lowest level existence other than ordinary monsters. If we don't even have a silver elite If you don't dare to face it, how can you stand in the world from now on? Kill!"
Zhang Mu expressed his attitude.
The fat man raised the big sword and laughed loudly: "The boss has spoken, so what are you waiting for! Silver elites will definitely drop good things!"
Zhang Mu looked at the steel skeleton. It was shiny with a metallic luster, as if it were made by pouring molten steel, giving people a feeling of invulnerability. In addition, the skeleton wore an exquisite scale armor and a metal helmet on its head. It held a sword in its left hand and an ax in its right hand. The two ghost fires in the helmet seemed to be staring directly at several people, exuding a fierce atmosphere. A violent breath.
According to Zhang Mu's experience, this monster should be difficult to fight.
The monster's defense is not low, and its health is relatively sufficient. It dual-wields weapons, with a blood-red short ax in one hand like a berserker, and a sharp sword in one hand like a ranger. It may not only have a strong attack, but also have a good agility and speed. This kind of monster is highly balanced and has strong overall combat power.
"Boss, how to fight?"
"How can we fight if there is only one enemy?" Zhang Mu shrugged, "Of course we will attack together, but to be on the safe side, Sun Bing will go and test it out first. Leng Yun should stay far away, don't rush to take action, and must avoid pulling him in. The hatred of monsters.”
Leng Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know how to measure."
Zhang Mu said to the others: "Let's go."
The four of them advanced side by side towards the Steel Skeleton. Leng Yun stood behind the four of them holding a fish bone staff and stopped about a hundred meters away. If he continued to move forward, he was afraid of disturbing it. Sun Bing took a deep breath and took out his shield and warhammer from his backpack. Because of the new armor, which could offset an additional dozen points of damage, plus the shield and petrified skin, Sun Bing's defense became extremely high, even when facing the Silver Elite. , and also has the confidence to block a few attacks.
Sun Bing had just taken a few steps forward when the steel skeleton was startled and turned around suddenly, the blade of the sword glowing with cyan light.
Zhang Mu immediately shouted: "Be careful, skill attack!"
"Wind Slash!"
The steel skeleton was covered with green light and disappeared from the field of vision. It rushed up at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. The sword light struck the shield with a crisp sound. Sun Bing's shield cracked from the middle and broke into two halves. The green sword The light swept across the chest, leaving a deep mark on the plate armor.
Sun Bing was thrown away like a sandbag.
The steel skeleton's ax glowed with blood-red light and struck the ground hard—earth-shattering strike!
A burst of energy ripped apart the earth and hit Sun Bing from bottom to top. The energy penetrated the armor and caused serious damage. Sun Bing rolled out more than ten meters and hit the rock wall. Then he stopped, with less than 35% of his health remaining. .
The fat man was dumbfounded: "What a pervert! This guy knows how to combo!"
The strength of the Iron Skeleton is indeed stronger than imagined.
Zhang Mu shouted: "Come on!"
