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

Chapter 573 Potions

Inside the underground palace, Feng Ling found that Liu Xing was not moving, so she hung him up and shook him, thinking: Is he dead?
But soon after, she noticed that the meteor was getting lighter and lighter, and it was shriveling up as if it were dehydrated, until only a thin layer of skin as thin as a cicada's wing was left hanging on her claws.

Feng Ling froze, looking up, down, left, and right—

"What's going on?" Feng Ling shook "Meteor's Skin" again and muttered, "Skills? Items?...Hey, Meteor? Are you still there?"

The shooting star was not there, of course.

Even if he were there, he couldn't possibly respond to her.

Feng Ling had to accept the fact that Meteor had escaped.

It escaped right under her nose with some unknown force.

She muttered to herself, "Did I... mess up?"

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, she felt that this was not a setback.

“That doesn’t count.” Feng Ling shed the unpleasant feeling and comforted herself, “It’s just a minor mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. The messenger lost his life because of a mistake. He was the one who really stumbled.”

The serpent turned its head and looked at the doctor lying in the sand not far behind it.

Their eyes met suddenly, and the doctor stared at her blankly.

The next second, a flash of white light appeared, blood spurted out, and the scene in the doctor's eyes was forever frozen at that moment.

Feng Ling dismembered the doctor and let out a soft breath, "I feel much better now."

She remembered the grudge of being judged by the messenger, and was also angry because of the meteor's trickery. But then the messenger died and the meteor ran away, so she vented all her pent-up anger on the doctor.

"Now, let me see where you are..." Feng Ling summoned her mother's longing, and the image of the shooting star immediately appeared before her eyes.

The meteor was running desperately through the heavy rain. In just a few minutes, it had already left the underground palace and arrived on the surface. The surrounding environment was somewhat similar to the ancient ruins from before, indicating that the passageway of the underground palace was connected to the ruins.

Feng Ling's gaze remained fixed on the marked target.

Meteor seemed to sense something, stopped and turned to look, but found nothing, and turned back to continue running forward.

"Quite perceptive." Feng Ling smiled, transformed back into human form, and prepared to enter the passage.

The doctor's cards had been extracted by then, a total of three, which Feng Ling accepted, and her anger subsided once again.

She ran quickly into the passage and went straight ahead. After passing through the iron gate, the passage turned into a rugged tunnel with no forks in the road.

The tiger-headed bug crawled out from underground and whimpered uncomfortably behind Feng Ling.

Rainwater seeps in, filling the ground with moisture. The loose sand becomes either sticky or compacted, increasing the difficulty of digging. The underground is no longer a comfortable zone for the tiger-headed insects, and even their crawling slows down.

"Take your time climbing, I have to go chase after the alien species." Feng Ling patted its big tiger head, comforted it for a couple of minutes, and then quickened its pace while keeping an eye on the movements of the meteor.

Meteor was injured, and the witch had also thrown a potion that reduced its speed by 30%, so its movement speed was limited.

Feng Ling was very confident that he could catch her.

Just as I was thinking this, a large object suddenly appeared in my field of vision.

The rain obscured her vision, and she could only vaguely make out an outline, like a huge skeleton. Upon closer inspection, she could see two figures beneath the skeleton.

"There are reinforcements too, tsk, I'm going to kill you all later."

…………

……

Meanwhile, Meteor, having just learned that the maze was the game's anchor point, fell into deep thought.

Seeing that she was no longer speaking, the drunkard and the witch guessed that she had given up the idea of ​​killing the dwarf sheep, so they turned around and went to find a place to set up a teleportation array.

Teleportation arrays can be set up anywhere—on grass, snow, roads, lakes, or even lava—but the prerequisite is that it must be a flat surface.

The desert terrain is undulating, and the torrential rains have eroded it into numerous gullies, making it time to find a completely flat patch of sand. The drunkard spent a fortune to buy a teleportation array and spent a few minutes finding a level spot.

She pointed to a patch of sand ahead and said, "This is fine."

The witch, holding the boy anxiously, said, "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly set up the teleportation array!"

"No." The drunkard shook his head and lowered his raised hands.

The witch frantically grabbed her hair, crying out, "Why?!"

“The hidden boss is coming. We’re too close, it’s not safe,” the drunkard said. “If we leave now through the teleportation array, the hidden boss will catch up with us before I can destroy it.”

The witch looked at the ruins in alarm, but the torrential rain made it impossible to see anything.

"What do we do then?!" she asked the drunkard anxiously, "How long will it take to destroy the teleportation array?!"

"60 seconds," the drunkard replied.

The witch nearly fainted upon hearing this. "How can it take so long?!"

"Because these are expensive items, the game includes a 60-second undo period to prevent players from making mistakes," the drunkard sighed. "After all, it's worth 500,000 points."

She then said to the witch, "If you can hold off the hidden boss for 60 seconds, we can escape successfully."

"Are you kidding me?! I couldn't even last 6 seconds, let alone 60!" the witch screamed. "It'll cleave me to pieces! Was it you who lured the hidden boss here—the meteor???"

The witch turned around and found that the shooting star that had been behind her was gone.

"Damn it! Damn it!!!" the witch cursed angrily, "That guy has hidden himself again!"

The drunkard thought for a moment and said, "Give me a potion to boost my attack and defense. I'll go stop the Boss. You and Meteor go first."

The drunkard set up a teleportation array worth 500,000 points on the sand.

The witch paused for a moment, then asked, "What are you going to do then?"

"If you can't beat them, just log off." The drunkard patted the skeleton next to him and said nonchalantly, "I'm not like you guys, logging off is too risky."

—The witch and the meteor were among the first players to enter the game, and they have been online for nearly a year. Their bodies in the Origin World are already very weak, and they will need to go through a long period of treatment after logging off. They may even suffer from incurable sequelae.

The Stars killed the Abyss Mother Nest about half a year ago, and the Drunkard logged off shortly after that incident, so his body was not affected and he can log off at any time.

The witch put the boy down, pulled a bunch of bottles and jars from her backpack, and threw them at the drunkard.

[The Witch's Special Potion: Defense +30%]

[The Witch's Special Potion: Attack Power +15%]

[The Witch's Special Potion: Speed ​​+30%]

The witch pulled out a small golden bottle and said through gritted teeth, "This is my life-saving medicine, I'm giving it to you too!"

After saying that, he threw the water at the drunkard with all his might.

[The Witch's Incredible Potion: Critical Hit Rate +55%]

The witch was heartbroken. She couldn't always succeed in making medicine, and the amount of materials and effort required for each batch was immeasurable.

Just as I was feeling sorry for him, the bishop next to me suddenly turned and ran away!

The witch was shocked. "A bishop?!"

"Grab him!!!" The drunkard immediately jumped onto the skeleton monster.

The hidden meteor struck first, tackling the little boy to the ground!
Then a steel blade suddenly stabbed towards them! With a loud bang, the skeletal monster's massive hand bone blocked the steel blade!
"I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!!!" Feng Ling chased after them angrily.
