……
Everyone was speechless for a time. Hundred Flower Valley was a whole new map alright; the power of this pet was completely off the charts!
Despite being a Level 1 creature, the Firelight Mouse's stats were already very impressive. It had an insane BN of 106, meaning that it was leagues ahead of my Dark Wasp! Besides that, its growth was so powerful that it was downright OP. 7.5-star Magic Attack, 6.5-star Defense, 7-star HP and 7.5-star Agility? It was a magic jack of all trades, but not in the bad way!
I could already imagine its future as a walking magic fortress!
”So, how is it?” He Yi smiled.
I gave her an approving nod and said, ”It's OP as h.e.l.l. You can raise it until the endgame if you want to, especially since you are a metal armor player. A powerful magical pet is exactly what you need!”
”Mn!” He Yi nodded before saying, ”Unfortunately, the Firelight Mouse only has a Fireball spell at the beginning, and it'll run out of mana in just a few uses. Still, once its level is higher, it can learn an AoE spell and join the grind too…”
We all nodded and smiled at her, happy for her success.
He Yi was the weakest player of the workshop, so the Firelight Mouse was the perfect unit to make up for her lack of skill. In fact, I thought from the start that she was the most suitable player out of all of us to inherit the Firelight Mouse. After all, we all had excess in firepower except He Yi.
……
”Let us continue, shall we? Let's see what else is waiting for us ahead!”
I continued forward with He Yi to my left and Lin Yixin to my right. It was a delightful feeling to say the least.
I noticed that we had entered the latter half of the map as we progressed. After killing a bunch of Mountain Spiders and Earth Mice, we finally saw a mob that wasn't an animal!
We got up a small hill and looked down. There was a sea of plant-type mobs at the valley floor. The mob was a walking vine plant with beautiful white flowers growing on the stems. However, a closer look would reveal that its stems were covered in sharp, poisonous thorns, putting it under the ”look but don't touch” category.
Vine Flower (Elite)
Level: 92
Attack: 820~1000
Defense: 850
HP: 22000
Skills: Poisonous Thorn, Wrap
Introduction: The protectors of the ancient forest, these Vine Flowers absorb power from the earth, grow thorns on their stems and summon vines to entangle their prey. Countless human warriors have perished under their beautiful exterior, making it the most fearful hunter of the wild.
……
”It's a Level 92 elite mob with average Attack but incredible Defense and HP…” I said, ”I also wonder how its poison attack and 'Wrap' work exactly.”
Lin Yixin smiled. ”Why don't you lure one over so we can give it a look?”
”Mn!”
I ran down the hill and charged the outermost Vine Flower. One Ice Ray and Slayer Slash later, the mob had lost almost 5000 HP. As I thought, it was much tougher than both the Mountain Spiders and the Earth Mice!
Thud!
I felt a pain in my chest. I was poisoned, but the movement slow debuff was within acceptable limits. Time to return!
I took a few steps back, but the Vine Flower suddenly started shaking violently. Then, a bunch of vines burst out of the ground beneath my feet and wrapped around my Death Shade War Boots in the blink of an eye. I can't move!
Beep!
Combat Log: You have been rooted by Vine Flower's “Wrap”. You cannot move for 4 seconds!
……
WTF, 4 seconds? There's no way I can aggro the mobs like normal this way. Considering how many mobs there were, 4 seconds of root was enough to kill anyone!
It was at this moment a beautiful figure rushed past me and attacked the Vine Flower. She dished out her signature Moon Gaze + Extreme Break combo, and I followed up with a Pardon + Desperate Gambit of my own. The Vine Flower had 22k HP, but not even it could withstand the combined might of our skills. It collapsed to the ground and dropped a small white flower!
Lin Yixin looked pleasantly surprised. ”Wow, a Vine Flower Petal? This is great, hehe…”
She picked it up and threw it into her bag.
I asked, ”Is that an alchemy ingredient?”
”Mn, a Rank 8 alchemy ingredient no less. Before this, I had to compete with a whole horde of uncles just to gather some of them. I had no idea that they dropped them here. This is wonderful!”
Murong Mingyue walked up to us and said, ”You can't see the end of these Vine Flowers. It looks like we need to bait them to a choke point and AoE them down, or we can fight them until next month and still not be done. I'm sorry to say this, but not even you and Beauty Lin can kill them fast enough to make up for the time lost killing them one by one!”
”Yeah!” I nodded. ”Let me give it another try!”
This time, I summoned the Dark Wasp to attack a lone Vine Flower at the edge. The Vine Flower chased the Dark Wasp as expected, but it couldn't use its Wrap because the Dark Wasp was airborne. As I thought, the skill is ineffective against flying targets!
