Chapter 135 (2/2)

System Notice: You have accepted the quest [Reinforcing the Sentinel Tower]! (Current Quest Rank: A)

Description: Head to the south of Eternal Song Forest where the Man-eater Flower Graveyard lies . A sentinel tower belonging to Blood Dance Alliance is under attack by the Night Creatures . Defend the sentinel tower for 3 hours and wait for reinforcements to arrive!

……

Beep!

A countdown timer appeared in my window . It said, “179:59:59 . ”

A timed quest? Wonderful! All I need to do was ensure that the sentinel tower doesn’t switch hands for three hours, and the quest will automatically be completed . Though there’s no telling how difficult the quest will be . . .

There was no time to waste, so I gripped my sword and started running toward the south .

The Man-eater Flower Graveyard wasn’t too far away from where I was . On the map, it was presented as a jade-green region . However, the areas around the graveyard were blood-red in color . It was a warning to the player that the area was extremely dangerous and deadly .

Surprisingly, Xinran was following behind me . I didn’t put her back into the pet summoning s.p.a.ce, however . She couldn’t a.s.sist me in battle as she was, but she could leech some EXP and grow a couple more levels . To be honest, I wanted to see if she would change once her level grew higher .

While I was running, a rabbit suddenly ran across the path in front of me!

Puchi!

However, it barely lasted a fraction of a second before it was replaced by a colorful flower bud, leaving behind only a pool of blood and a couple of rabbit fur . The flower bud was wriggling and contracting as if chewing something . Clearly, the flower bud had consumed the rabbit!

Introduction: The guardian of the Man-eater Flower Graveyard, this brutal and venomous flower eats flesh to survive .

……

I looked around for a different way, but there was none . I was sure that I would encounter a lot more Man-eater Flowers along the way .  I guess I have no choice but to do this the hard way!

s.h.i.+ng!

I pulled out the Ghost Ice Soul, ordered the Dark Wasp forward and charged!

Swhoos.h.!.+

I appeared in front of the Man-eater Flower in a flash and plunged my sword into its stem . Red liquid that looked like blood instantly flowed madly out of the wound . Ice Ray also caused ice to appear all over the Man-eater Flower’s body, freezing it and slowing down its attack speed drastically .

The Dark Wasp flew forward and hit the Man-eater Flower four times in a row . Flurry was seriously impressive at Rank 6 . This was just the first round, and the two of us had deleted over half of the Man-eater Flower’s HP .

Splash…

Suddenly, the monster opened its mouth and revealed its insides . It was completely covered in sharp thorns and disgusting liquid . Moving at lightning speed, it tried to catch me and swallow me whole!

I knew that it would do this, however . The moment it opened its mouth, I jumped sideways to a safe spot .

Thud!

The Man-eater Flower missed me completely and hit the ground instead . The impact was so huge that dust flew all over the place, its sharp teeth sinking deep into the ground . I couldn’t help but feel a chill behind my back .  Holy s.h.i.+t, if a human got bitten by this thing, they would literally break in half, wouldn’t they?

I suddenly recalled the day I saw some couples holding roses while I was strolling the streets . They probably thought the gesture was very romantic and heartwarming . I wondered how they would feel if the rose suddenly opened its “mouth” and bit a certain something in half when they were inside a hotel and enjoying their s.e.xy time . I’m sure it would be pretty hilarious .

I executed Pardon and Desperate Gambit on the Man-eater Flower while impure thoughts ran rampant inside my mind . It let out one final growl before falling flat on the ground .

Pop!

The mob dropped a quality 92 Big Magic Stone . Not bad!

I picked up the Big Magic Stone and aimed my open palm at the mob as usual . Death Plunder!

Swhoos.h.!.+

I was surprised . A bottle filled with greenish, poisonous liquid appeared in my hand .

Man-eater Flower Poison: Rank 6 ingredient, one of the essential poison-crafting ingredients for a.s.sa.s.sin .

……

Tsk tsk, I wasn’t expecting to get an a.s.sa.s.sin-exclusive item from the mob . In Heavenblessed, a.s.sa.s.sins were natural born killers and poison-makers . During the later stages of the game, most of their skills had something to do with poison, such as Blind, Poisoned Weapon, Crippling Poison and so on . a.s.sa.s.sinating and poisoning others were the nature of this cla.s.s .

However, I didn’t know any a.s.sa.s.sins whom I would call an acquaintance, much less friends . There were no a.s.sa.s.sins in b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries or Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls either .  Oh well, I guess I can keep this and see if there’s any demand for it back at Floating Ice City . In the future, I might want to recruit a top tier a.s.sa.s.sin into b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries .  After all, it was essential for a party to have an expert who was good at scouting, dealing damage and picking off single enemies .

I tossed the Man-eater Flower Poison into my bag and continued forward . So far, it wasn’t a ha.s.sle to kill a single Man-eater Flower . It had taken me less than half a minute to kill another Man-eater Flower . They gave a pa.s.sable amount of EXP . That being said, it would be terrible if any one of these monsters managed to take a bite out of me . Not only would I lose a ridiculous amount of HP, I would be poisoned and turned as green as a leaf . That would be a really ugly sight .

After killing an innumerable amount of Man-eater Flower and reaching the inner depths of the graveyard, a simplistic sentinel tower made out of stone soon entered my view . It looked like it would crumble at any moment, and it was currently being attacked by a dozen or so skeletal monsters . The mobs were literally hitting the tower with their bony swords while two Blood Dance Alliance undead soldiers tried to chase them away . The one on the ground was a warrior, and the one inside the tower was an archer firing arrow after arrow from above!

Pop pop . . .

Unfortunately, the archer didn’t have very good aim . His arrows kept sliding in-between the ribs of the skeletal soldiers and dealing absolutely no damage at all .

Meanwhile, the Night Creature’s skeletal soldiers howled and they swung their bony swords at the walls like crazy . Once their weapons were destroyed, they started swinging their arms, and once their arms were destroyed, they ramming with their heads . It was only after they cracked their own skulls that they finally stopped moving .

I felt like spitting blood as the battle continued .  NPC battles truly are as bizarre as they come!
