There’s actually something ? Cloud Guest had never tamed a beast, so he couldn’t tell if it really worked, but just looking at the item attributes, it seemed to make sense.
"Right, we fed it the wrong thing. If the wolf isn’t happy, naturally it won’t open the door for us."
"Let’s buy more of this thing, and try again tomorrow. This time, let’s prepare in advance, and if a battle is triggered, we’ll just run away. Is this thing expensive?"
"Damn, that’s expensive? Forget it, 200 it is then, no bait, no catch. Mao Mao, go buy all the Secret Dog Food in the auction house! I’ll reimburse you, let’s rest up today and try again tomorrow."
After finishing, a slight doubt suddenly sprang up in his mind, could it be that Hidden Moon Following Wind wasn’t telling the truth?
But that’s not right, ordinary people can’t see Ghost Soldiers at all. That guy clearly looked like a swordsman type of profession, and only level 12, he couldn’t have possibly seen a Ghost Soldier.
Still, let’s go try it out first.
"Don’t worry, I can hold on."
Xiao Jie took a step forward, thrusting his blade straight out.
Puchi—this thrust went straight into the merfolk’s throat, -107 (Vital Strike)!
It hit with double damage.
This Thrust skill, as long as it hits the vitals, can deal double damage. Since the Thrust skill has a very small attack judgment, it’s quite difficult to hit for double damage, but for a master like Xiao Jie, it wasn’t a big problem.
And every Vital Strike felt quite satisfying.
The merfolk’s health emptied, and it fell to the ground clutching its bleeding throat.
Immediately, another even larger merfolk barbarian rolled over its body, swinging its weapons and rushing towards Xiao Jie.
Ao woo! Xiong Da smacked the merfolk barbarian’s shield with a fierce Bear Palm Strike, knocking the merfolk barbarian head over heels.
Puchi—a sound, and the Xuanhua Giant Axe immediately killed the merfolk barbarian on the spot.
Looking around at the scattered corpses, the three of them laughed heartily, exhilarating.
They each pulled out golden sore medicine and power pills and started downing them.
The merfolk were refreshing faster and faster, they had to get ready for the next wave quickly.
The trio had just recovered when suddenly the lake surface churned with waves.
Uh oh, something’s different this time. Xiao Jie instantly became alert.
Just then, a figure emerged from the lake, walking as if on flat ground, a slim female merfolk holding a coral Magic Wand, a clear, sparkling Treasure Bead on top of the wand shining brightly.
Merfolk Water Master (Merfolk Noble): Elite: Level 16, Life Value 450.
It’s an Elite Monster! — Uh, why is the health so low?
Not good! A twinge of unease flashed through Xiao Jie’s mind.
"Everyone, be careful of their magic!" he shouted aloud.
Monster strength judgment principle: the weaker an aspect of a monster is, the stronger its other aspects are.
This creature, being an Elite Monster with only 450 health, means its Attack Power must be terrifying, or it has some extremely powerful spell.
The next second, they saw the merfolk Water Master forcefully wave her Magic Wand, a stream of water converging on her Magic Wand above the lake surface, forming a high-pressure Water Arrow shooting out rapidly.
This Water Arrow shot out at a very fast speed, practically like a high-pressure water cannon. Mr. Ramen, hearing the warning and reacting, was still hit squarely by a Water Arrow, his health bar instantly dropping by more than a third, knocking him over.
Xiao Jie, although psychologically prepared, was still startled, holy crap, that’s high damage!
Without a second word, he switched to bow and arrow and started shooting. Against this type of high attack, low health magic monster, there was nothing much to discuss, he had to deal with it quickly.
Luckily, since the opponent had low health and there was only one, it was a fight to the death.
I Want to Be Immortal also quickly switched to bow and arrow and started aiming directly.
Puchi! As they both hit the target simultaneously, a high-pressure Water Arrow also hit him, watching his health bar instantly halved, Xiao Jie felt numb all over.
His health was only 200, two hits and he’d be gone.
Hurriedly, he ducked behind Xiong Da, gulping down a medium bottle of golden sore medicine.
On the other side, I Want to Be Immortal fired another arrow, but the merfolk Water Master again cast a spell.
The lake water gathered around her into a huge bubble-like thing, completely enveloping the merfolk Water Master, the arrow shot at her actually solidified within the bubble.
Damn! She even has a shield, magic monsters really are strong.
Xiao Jie, after finishing the red medicine, peeked out just as the merfolk Water Master shot another Water Arrow his way.
He hurriedly performed a roll, barely dodging it.
When the third Water Arrow was shot, he was hit again.
"Damn, that firing speed is too fast!" he pondered tactics while gulping down a blood bottle.
Besides the first barrage that took off more than a hundred of her health, the subsequent arrows were all blocked by the Water Shield.
He had to break her spell!
But the merfolk Water Master was hiding in the lake, making it not easy to approach.
Moreover, even if he got close, he didn’t know if melee attacks could penetrate the effect of that Water Shield.
He couldn’t hit her from a distance, it was truly a dire situation.
The merfolk Water Master’s Water Arrows shot one after another, strong and fast, hard to dodge. Xiao Jie could still rely on his high Agility to try dodging, but I Want to Be Immortal could only tough it out.
Unable to withstand it, the trio and the bear took cover behind a straw hut.
Luckily, the merfolk Water Master dared not leave the lake, only continuously firing Water Arrows to suppress them.
