It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 564 So annoying

For a fleeting moment, Meteor suspected that the hidden boss in front of him was toying with him.

However, Feng Ling's expression was too serious, making it difficult for Liu Xing to tell whether she was joking or really thought so.

Did you stumble and fall...?

It depends on how the hidden boss defines "slipping up". If the deaths of the maze administrators can be considered setbacks, then the hidden boss has already slipped up, without her even realizing it.

Thinking of this, a faint hint of mockery appeared on Meteor's lips.

"People often mistake the power brought by good fortune for their own power," said Meteor.

Feng Ling blinked. "Are you trying to tell me that I'm not really strong, that I'm just lucky?"

Meteor smiled faintly: "I admit you are strong, but if you take this strength as your own strength, I will find it laughable. You and I are just playthings in the game. Without the game and without the cards, we are nothing. So after knowing this, will you still be arrogant and conceited?"

Feng Ling thought for a moment, "Probably."

meteor:"………………"

“Playing games well isn’t a skill, is it?” Feng Ling shrugged. “And even if there were no more cards one day, I’d probably still win with just my fists.”

Meteor stared at her sincere expression for a moment, then chuckled softly.

Feng Ling asked her, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing..." Meteor shook his head with a smile, "I just think fate is too strange. It's really interesting that the Mother Nest card ended up in the hands of someone as aggressive as you."

"What was the mother nest like before?" Feng Ling asked again.

Meteor paused for a moment and said, “Silent, calm, as gentle as the spring breeze, as warm as the earth, it is accumulating energy to nurture life every moment, and has almost no offensive capabilities. Like the queen ant in an anthill, reproduction is its only mission.”

Feng Ling looked uncomfortable upon hearing this.

Her reaction gave Meteor a subtle sense of pleasure, as if he had won a minor verbal exchange.

"How could a boss from the Abyss not have any attack capabilities?" Feng Ling was really shocked. She was still thinking about advancing to the Abyss Body, and Meteor's words made her feel disgusted.

Meteor said, "There is no rule that the Abyss Boss must have strong attack power. In order to enrich the player's experience, the design of the dungeon master will have different focuses. Some have strong attack power, some have high defense, and some are simply high in health. The dungeons are also different. Some require solving puzzles, some are full of traps, and some, like the dungeon we are in now, require following the story."

Feng Ling frowned and asked, "Never mind, let's talk about this maze instead. What does the maze boss look like? What skills does it have?"

Meteor shook his head. "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Feng Ling was taken aback. "You know this place so well, you even know where to steal clothes, how could you not know the information about the maze boss?"

“As I said before, this maze requires following the storyline to trigger the corresponding events,” Meteor said. “Star has never completed the entire storyline, so no one has ever seen what the Boss looks like.”

She paused, then continued, "However, you do need to be wary of the Maze Boss. The messenger doesn't have many helpers right now, and if you're pushed to the brink, he might use the Maze Boss to hold you back."

Feng Ling thought to herself: As long as there isn't another doomsday judgment, that's fine.

Less than 24 hours had passed since the last time the angel skill was used, and Feng Ling remained calm and not in a hurry at all.

She even thought it might be more satisfying to kill the messenger just as it was about to regain its full power. —Once she was out of her rage, Feng Ling could become incredibly patient.

However, Meteor's condition was clearly different from hers.

The shooting star was very fast, frequently glancing towards the camel caravan.

After a long and anxious wait, the camel caravan finally began to move. The merchants started to take stock of their goods, and the camels lined up neatly at the merchants' shouts. The camels that had been frightened and run away last time were also found and returned to the caravan one after another.

Feng Ling counted them; there were a total of eighty camels and forty merchants.

There aren't many monsters near the oasis, but as you venture deeper into the desert, the number of monsters will increase.

Feng Ling walked ahead and cleared out a bunch of scorpion monsters. They were easy to kill, but when the group stretched to over a hundred meters, she became a little flustered.

Because she couldn't frighten the caravan, she couldn't use mental pressure. When killing scorpions, she had to rely entirely on quick eyes and hands. But scorpions wouldn't wait for her to kill them; they would often dart around and crawl around haphazardly!
Once a person or camel is frightened, the entire caravan becomes chaotic and stops in place. Only after Fengling and Liuxing have killed all the scorpions around them will the camel caravan calm down, slowly recover, and continue on its way.

After walking and stopping for more than an hour, Feng Ling was covered in sweat when she finally saw the sandstorm again.

She stood with her hands on her hips, panting, feeling that the maze was too tedious.

If a team of five or more people were brought in, perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult.

From a third-person perspective, more red dots are coming toward the camel caravan; two are coming from the left and three from the right.

Feng Ling is so annoyed.

She ran to the right, quickly flicked her tentacles, and killed the scorpion with a few snaps, then ran to the left without stopping—

Running in the sand was extremely difficult; her feet kept sinking into the sand. She slowed down even slightly, and the scorpion raised its tail high and attacked the nearest camel!

The caravan descended into chaos once more, with the people riding the camels screaming in terror!
Feng Ling thought to herself: You all have weapons on your waists too, you can't rely entirely on others for protection! You're all grown up, you need to learn to be self-reliant!

Before the scorpion could hurt anyone, she snapped it in half. The sticky liquid clung to its tentacles, and not knowing whether it was poisonous or not, Feng Ling was so disgusted that she immediately stuck the tentacles into the sand and scraped them off vigorously.

The chaos had just subsided when the latter half of the group descended into chaos again, with several scorpions heading towards the rear of the group that Meteor was in charge of!
Meteor's advantage lies in its ghostly form, but the desert under the scorching sun is like a hot plate. If its body melts into a black shadow, it will be cooked on the spot, not to mention it might frighten the caravan. So at this moment, Meteor is wearing a turban and is relying entirely on its short arms and legs to fight against the scorpions in the desert.

Feng Ling rushed over to help, but before she could run more than a few steps, another scorpion appeared at the head of the group!
The scorpion crawled very fast.

Feng Ling sighed heavily: "Alas!"

Then he turned around and ran back—

The camel at the head of the caravan was so frightened by the scorpion that it cried out and ran away from the caravan in terror.

To protect the caravan, a merchant jumped off his camel, picked up his scimitar, and slashed fiercely at the scorpion!
With a snap, the scorpion's forelimbs were chopped off, and at the same time, its tail plunged into the merchant's chest!

By the time Feng Ling arrived, the merchant's face had turned purple, and he was lying on the ground foaming at the mouth.

Feng Ling was powerless to change the situation. Standing beside the merchant, she murmured, "...Forget it, next time we shouldn't rely on ourselves."

　I forgot to post the drawings of Feng Ling and Ye Zheng I made a few days ago, so I'll post them now~ (I'm terrible at drawing human figures, so I draw more chibi-style ones).
