Chapter 7 The Scream on the Ninth Floor

When I was a newbie, in order to quickly increase my level, I visited every corner of the first ten floors and eliminated every monster in the caves on the first ten floors. Finally, I got a definite piece of information. Starting from the eighth floor, there will be one to several elite mobs on each floor.

Compared with most arrogant, impulsive and low-IQ mobs, elite mobs usually have good intelligence. They can use favorable terrain to ambush, or direct brainless mobs to attack in batches.

These methods often cause headaches for many novice adventurers, and some may even lose their lives if they are not careful.

And this is not an isolated phenomenon.

Just like now, there are about two dozen big-toothed rats blocking our way, each one with its back hunched, teeth bared, eyes staring, ready to go.

Looking at their fan-shaped enveloping offensive, I was sure that in a dark corner nearby, there must be an elite big-toothed rat flashing its cunning eyes and chirping strangely as if its evil plot was succeeding.

"Xiao Yi, we are surrounded..."

Except for yesterday's strange tide, Phoenix has rarely seen such a large formation. It was undecided for a moment, blinking its big eyes and eager for my advice.

No wonder, from the first to the seventh floor, it is a paradise for novice adventurers. In the words of a group of old staff in the adventurer base - they are the scalps thrown away by the God of Creation, weak, messy, and never Unity.

Whenever I hear this sentence, I always maliciously turn the God of Creation into a strange uncle sitting in front of the computer, holding a box of instant noodles, with a messy bird's nest hair style, and a lewd smile from time to time on his face. image.

He would also think of the terrifying scene where if he moved his head even slightly, scalp would fall off like snow.

And those white scalps will turn into little monsters of one to seven levels.

I secretly took a look at Xiao Zhi, which piece of scalp could it be made from?

I couldn't help but feel a chill.

Without thinking about those nauseating thoughts, I came to Fenghuang's side, waved the sword in my hand twice in the air, grinned, and encouraged her softly: "Don't be afraid, just do it!"

After saying that, I rushed forward and faced the two big-toothed mice that rushed towards me. I waved the tachi in my hand vigorously and left them in mid-air.

Ding ding, two copper coins and one silver coin fell down.

Phoenix was not moved by my passionate words and actions, but became filled with passion after seeing the three fallen coins.

As a little money-lover, this was the first time she encountered a monster that could directly drop silver coins, and she instantly went crazy.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Phoenix opened his small mouth and let out a childish roar. His pair of small pink fists kept dancing, and he released the Qigong bombs with all his strength.

One after another, the pure white Qigong bombs were like shining goose eggs, and they were fired at the twenty or so big-toothed rats in front of them as if they were free of charge.

The sudden and crazy attack caught the big-toothed rats off guard, and the formation they finally managed to get out of was completely disintegrated in an instant like a mud wall hit by a strong tide.

Occasionally, one or two surviving big-toothed rats would pee and flee toward the dark corner like frightened birds.

Phoenix was unwilling to give up, roaring like a baby, waving his two little hands, and constantly releasing Qigong bombs, vowing to explode every single one of these moving silver coins.

This scene made me tremble with fear. I didn’t expect Xiao Nizi to have such a terrifying obsession with money. If I really marry her home in the future, I might only have two copper coins a day as pocket money to spend. .

Subconsciously, I clutched the gold coins in my pocket, feeling that being single was also a good choice.

Phoenix killed the last big-toothed mouse a few meters away from the dark corner. She happily bent down to pick up the silver coins that fell on the ground, while I followed her as if nothing had happened, looking around.

And at this moment, in the darkness, a cool breeze blew past, like a bat preying on insects, heading straight for the delicate and white neck of the phoenix.

Huh, I sneered slightly. I had been waiting for a long time. Without saying a word, I raised my sword and stabbed hard.

The tip of the knife broke through the cool wind and pierced the body of the object with lightning speed, like cutting into a slightly elastic tofu, nailing it to the opposite rock without any hindrance.

It was a big-toothed rat over a foot long, still struggling desperately.

Its stomach was pierced by my sword, and black and red blood was flowing freely; its four extremely thick claws were scratching in mid-air, but they were too short to catch any of us. It kept waving in vain; a pair of red eyes stared at me, emitting a hateful light; the two huge front teeth were not as white as those of ordinary big-toothed mice, but pitch black, which was disgusting.

ah!

Phoenix was startled and sat directly on the ground. She slapped her plump breasts and gasped, "What is this?"

Seeing that she was so frightened that her hair was standing up, I snickered secretly in my heart, but I still pretended to be concerned and walked forward, helped her up, touched the top of her head and said, "Touch her hair, she won't be scared."

Then he pulled her to the big-toothed mouse, which was still struggling to its death, and let her have a clear look.

"It really shocked me. It turned out to be a big-toothed rat."

Phoenix let out a long sigh, and suddenly pointed at the pair of black front teeth of the big-toothed mouse, and said with some horror: "Hey, what's wrong with its teeth... Could it be cavities caused by not brushing its teeth for a long time... Ugh."

"Have you ever seen a big-toothed mouse brushing its teeth?" I twitched the corner of my mouth a few times and said helplessly: "The black front teeth represent its identity. This is an elite big-toothed mouse, the leader of the group of big-toothed mice just now."

As I said that, I glanced at the elite big-toothed mouse whose fur was slowly losing color and its limbs were slowly becoming stiff, and said to Phoenix: "I guess because the siege just now didn't work, it was unwilling to give in, so it hid in the corner and waited for an opportunity. Be prepared to deliver a fatal blow when you are unprepared."

Phoenix stared fiercely at the elite big-toothed rat, whose eyes were slightly narrowed and completely stiff, and said angrily: "So there is such a bad thing, throw away this dead rat quickly, don't dirty your newly bought sword. .”

Listening to Fenghuang's innocent words, I still couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

Phoenix looked at me in confusion, with a little anger in her eyes, as if she was blaming me for not telling her this earlier.

"Who told you that this mouse is dead? You still underestimated the intelligence of elite monsters. Attacking in formation and ambushes are just methods they learned, and what they are born with is the skill of pretending to be dead."

I inserted the sword hard again, and the elite big-toothed mouse that had been dead for a long time suddenly opened its red eyes and started struggling crazily again. This situation was even more violent than the last time.

Then, with a twist of his wrist, the sword cut off the elite big-toothed mouse, which was more than a foot long. Before it hit the ground, it turned into a black mist and dissipated in the air. At the same time, the two black front teeth also fell out. Come down.

"This is the state of the dungeon monster after it dies."

He put away his sword and picked up the two black teeth scattered on the ground, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

The incisor of an elite big-toothed mouse is a relatively rare material and can be exchanged for at least two gold coins.

I was thinking about it in my mind.

When I looked up, Fenghuang was standing timidly next to Xiaozhi, his eyes fixed on the two black front teeth in my hand, with a look on his face that he wanted to stop talking.

I know her obsession with coins and materials, but I also see that she really hates black things, especially black teeth, or front teeth.

I stretched out my hand and handed over the two front teeth. She was a little afraid and stepped back.

"It's okay, it's clean."

I comforted her.

"I...I know, it just feels...uncomfortable."

Phoenix lowered his head slightly, touched his index fingers with his hands, and made a very low voice, similar to that of a mosquito. I almost didn't hear it clearly.

"You'll always have to get used to it."

I took a step forward and inserted my two front teeth into Phoenix's little hand.

Phoenix's body trembled suddenly, and his two front teeth fell to the ground again, making a crisp sound.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Phoenix looked apologetic, but it could be seen that she was still afraid of the two black front teeth.

"I, I'm not very good at dealing with black..."

I didn't blame her, I just leaned down, picked up the two front teeth, wiped them on my clothes, put them in the pocket on Xiaozhi's back, turned around, gently stroked Phoenix's head, and gave her a warm smile.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, don't touch it. From now on, just let me do the black ones."

Phoenix glanced at my expression secretly and found that I was not angry with her, so she hummed with a slight smile on her face.

I should have known about Phoenix's fear of blackness.

She never wanted to chase monsters into dark corners, nor did she dare to stand on the edge of an abyss and look down; no matter how poor she was, once night fell, she would light up expensive magic stone lamps in the house to illuminate the whole house; Every time I finished all the housework and got ready to go to bed, Phoenix would huddle up in a ball under the quilt, shivering. At first, I thought she just liked to hold my arm and fall asleep, until I finally understood that she was. Afraid of the dark.

Maybe this is natural, or maybe it has something to do with her missing master, but no matter what, this is the biggest obstacle in her heart. Maybe one day, this obstacle will become her biggest enemy on the way forward.

Why am I not like this?

Looking at the left arm that was tightly wrapped in bandages, and recalling the exquisite and mysterious patterns on this left arm and all the tragedies caused by it, I couldn't help but sigh heavily.

After comforting Phoenix, we headed deeper again.

With the previous lesson learned, Fenghuang never relaxed her vigilance again. After killing another wave of big-toothed rats, she looked around and quickly picked up the coins and materials on the ground, and quickly threw them into Xiaozhi's backpack. middle.

Although I was amused by her overly cautious approach, it is always better to be cautious than careless.

Soon, we thoroughly 'cleaned' the main road on the eighth floor. As for those dark corners and dim corners, Phoenix doesn't like to go there, and I don't intend to take that risk.

In front of you is the portal on the ninth floor.

Phoenix stood at the door, hesitating whether to go in. After all, she was at level three now, and I told her that the monsters inside were all at level four. Once inside, she would no longer be able to run around and act alone. She must always Follow me.

For her, who has always loved freedom and joy, this is nothing short of a heartfelt challenge.

While she was thinking about it, Xiaozhi and I drew a suffocated cow on the ground out of boredom.

Just when Xiaozhi was about to mercilessly suffocate me to death in the corner, two screams suddenly came from the chaotic portal.
