Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1305. Searching for the Netherworld Flower (20)

The moment the Mind-Concentrating Grass came into contact with the black mist, it emitted a dazzling white light, and the black mist let out a shrill scream, instantly retreating several steps.

A flicker of fear flashed in his red eyes, clearly indicating that the power of the spirit herb and the Netherworld Flower had harmed him.

"It works!" Everyone cheered.

But before they could celebrate for long, the black mist went berserk again, and more black tentacles stretched out, reaching out to grab Lin Xi.

Just as Lin Xi was about to dodge, a black tentacle wrapped around her wrist and pulled her over instantly.

Lin Xi was holding the Netherworld Flower and the Spirit Herb in both hands and didn't have time to pick up the hammer. Both of his wrists were entangled, so he couldn't fight back.

"Xiao Bei!"

Chen Luoxue rushed towards Lin Xi, a knife appearing in her hand, and slashed at the black mist.

Wu Qingquan also realized what was happening, raised his fist, and slammed it hard at the black tentacle.

Wu Qingquan slammed his fist into the tentacle with a loud bang, and his hand bones almost cracked, but he did not loosen his grip at all.

Wang Xiaoyue then took out a dagger and slashed at the base of the black tentacle.

With the combined attack of the three, the black tentacles were finally severed, and Lin Xi took the opportunity to retreat a few steps and escape danger.

A deep red mark appeared on her wrist from the tentacle, and a sharp pain shot through her.

Without the Ghostly Marrow Flower, she could not heal her wounds.

She shook her hand; thankfully, it was just a sore spot and some red marks.

She decided to ignore her wrist for now.

—123 seems to be injured again.

—It seems okay, the hand can move, so it shouldn't be injured.

—This lousy dungeon is full of traps!
—That's what makes it exciting!
—Shouldn't we have a peaceful instance to give players a break?

—Don't worry about 123, she doesn't need to enter the instance.

—Oh right, I almost forgot, 1, 2, and 3 can now enter the dungeon on their own; they can choose not to enter if they don't want to.

—Do you think if everyone could voluntarily enter dungeons, would this lousy game become unplayable?

—Not necessarily, some people like money more!
——123: I think you're talking about me.

“Everyone is injured; this can’t go on.” Wang Xiaoyue frowned. “We must obtain the Nether Bone Flower as soon as possible. Only the power of the Nether Bone Flower can completely suppress him.”

Su Qing took a deep breath.

“I’ll distract him, and you guys take the opportunity to get the Netherworld Flower. Although I don’t have much spiritual power left, I’ve recovered some after taking the spiritual herb, and I can still use a secret technique of the Spirit Clan to temporarily trap him.”

"No!" Lin Xi immediately refused. "Your body is already very weak; activating this secret technique will cause you great harm!"

“This is our only option.” Su Qing smiled. “I am the guardian of the Spirit Clan’s cave. It is my mission to protect the Nether Marrow Flower and reinforce the seal. Also, we can only pick the petals of the Nether Marrow Flower, not the whole thing.”

As she spoke, she closed her eyes, formed hand seals, and chanted ancient spirit incantations.

Her body emitted a dazzling white light, which grew brighter and brighter until it enveloped the entire altar.

Sensing the threat of the white light, the black mist let out an angry roar, and countless black tentacles reached out to grab Su Qing.

A burst of white light erupted, trapping all the black tentacles.

The black mist was suppressed by the white light and could not move, only able to let out a shrill scream.

Lin Xi and Zhang Ting exchanged a glance and immediately ran towards the Ghost Marrow Flower.

Lin Xi carefully picked the petals of the Ghost Marrow Flower.

The moment the petals of the Ghost Flower were picked, they emitted a soft glow.

Zhang Ting also picked two petals.

Just then, Su Qing's body suddenly went limp, and the white light dissipated.

The black mist broke free of its restraints and let out a frenzied roar. A huge black tentacle reached out to grab Lin Xi and Zhang Ting, trying to snatch the Netherworld Flower petals from their hands.

"Watch out!" Lin Xi pushed Zhang Ting aside and casually tossed the flower petals from her hand to Zhang Ting, who quickly caught them.

Lin Xi grabbed a plastic hammer and smashed it at the black tentacles.

The black mist immediately retreated a few steps.

Holding the Ghost Marrow Flower, Zhang Ting ran towards the bottom of the altar.

Suqing spoke weakly.

"Quickly...use the juice of the Ghost Marrow Flower...to reinforce the seal...the groove in the center of the altar..."

Zhang Ting nodded and immediately squeezed out the juice from a petal of the Ghost Marrow Flower, dripping it into the groove in the center of the altar.

The moment the juice dripped onto the altar, the runes on it suddenly lit up, and the eight dragon-carved stone pillars emitted a dazzling white light. Countless runes floated down from the pillars and flew towards the black mist.

The black mist let out a desperate roar, its body enveloped in runes, struggling incessantly.

The black iron chains tightened again, firmly binding the black mist beneath the altar.

As the runes multiplied, they eventually formed a massive sealing array, completely sealing the black mist beneath the altar.

The hall finally returned to calm. The power of the Ghostly Marrow Flower reinforced the seal, and the remnants of the demonic cult could no longer break free.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Ting immediately ran to Su Qing's side and handed all the flower petals in her hand to Su Qing.

Su Qing took out a jade bottle and carefully collected the juice of the You Sui flower, then put the petals into her pocket.

After drinking the juice, Su Qing's complexion gradually became rosier, and her breathing became much more stable.

"We...successfully?" Zhou Lili asked softly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"We succeeded." Lin Xi smiled. "We obtained the petals of the Netherworld Flower, reinforced the seal, and should have solved the miasma problem in Soul Broken Ridge."

Lin Xi had just finished speaking when a "tick-tock" sound was heard.

A cold, electronic voice began congratulating them on completing the game.

A white light flashed before his eyes.

Lin Xi returned to the cabin she shared with her sister.

The first thing she did was to let her sister know she was safe.

"I know, I just came out too," Lin Bei said with a smile. "I'm coming to see you."

Before she knew her sister worked for the game company, Lin Xi didn't want her sister to go to her live stream.

She was afraid her sister would worry.

But, her sister is already a top-tier player, and she's even entered dungeons on her own, so it doesn't matter.

"Go and get some rest. We'll go see Sister Ye tomorrow," Lin Bei said with a smile.

"Okay," Lin Xi replied.

Then she realized that she hadn't transferred the tip out.

It seems she hasn't donated to several instances of the game.

The bank card only contains the bonus.

However, it's good to keep that money, just in case some dungeons require spending money!

Anyway, she's not short of money now.

Her sister doesn't need her money either.

After taking a hot shower, Lin Xi lay on the bed in the cabin and then looked at the bonus on her bank card.

Not a small amount.

She transferred the money to the bank card that was originally prepared for her sister. Although her sister didn't need it, it was still nice to have it there.

For the next two weeks, she plans to travel and enjoy the scenery with her sister, and won't be going into any dungeons.
