Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 63 All Teammates Have Work to Do
Chen Xiuxian was also observing his four teammates during the battle.

He only used about half of his strength at most, since he didn't use any magic weapons or anything, and just relied on his sword energy to show off.

Despite his four teammates' belief that he was a formidable fighter, he was actually just slacking off the whole time.

He discovered that all four of his teammates were quite capable!
"No Time to Die" likely refers to some kind of defensive talent or skill, such as damage reduction or immunity.

Anyway, that bear-like creature that stood up was about three meters tall and probably weighed seven or eight hundred pounds, but it just couldn't force him to back down.

This bear has 38 points of strength, but only 27 points of "no time to die". He won't suffer a loss if the two sides fight each other.

There must be some other kind of magic involved!

And that old white dove is quite skilled at wielding an ebony sword!

Although each attack requires a two-second pause to recall and replenish energy, the attack itself is incredibly fast. A black light ripped open a large gash in the bear's shoulder, and the blood flowed like tap water!

Moreover, he was holding a yellow talisman in his hand, but he had never used it and didn't know what it was.

Gadak's whip was also quite impressive; it must have been some kind of magical artifact. Not only was it powerful, but it could also automatically entangle enemies, locking the bear's injured arm tightly.

However, the bear was incredibly strong, and with a sudden struggle, it made him stumble.

He would also use a technique called "drawing a circle on the ground," throwing out several small black sticks with what looked like words written on them, which would then be planted in a circle within a radius of ten meters.

The bear-man in the circle was wrapped around the legs by a semi-transparent, pale yellow aura, as if it were stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult for him to move.

The three ghost servants of the Ice Ghost Path were also quite interesting. They were not in the same style as Chen Xiuxian's gambling ghost Ma Si'er. They were all black, like a humanoid figure formed by a cloud of black energy. Their faces were indistinct, and they flew and drifted in mid-air, emitting faint wails.

Every now and then, it would pounce on the bear, opening its mouth wide as if to take a big bite, but no wounds could be seen. However, the bear's vitality was indeed reduced.

This demonic attack is quite sinister!

None of the people present were weaklings. Although the bear was an elite unit in the dungeon, it still couldn't last two minutes before collapsing to the ground, its body tattered and battered.

"Ding~ You have teamed up to kill a level 22 elite cunning bear, and you have gained 185 experience points."

"Ding~ Player Gardak has obtained the material [Bear Paw (Green)]".

"Ding~ Player No Time to Die has obtained the material [Complete Bear Hide (Green)]".

"Ding~ You have obtained the equipment card [Bear Head Hat (Green)]."

【Bear Head Hat (Green)】

Set: Three Little Bears (1/3)

Review: Have you seen my teddy bear?

Wow, it's a set?!

In the game, what drops from monsters in dungeons is random, and it's randomized to each player's inventory.

However, it's not guaranteed that everyone will have it, since this is just an elite monster.

It's said that during the initial closed beta, items would simply explode on the ground. However, this often caused internal conflicts.

The game development team eventually felt that this was too discordant. It was one thing for players to fight each other for equipment in the open world, but doing the same thing in dungeons made it so that players would often break up before finishing the dungeons.

Therefore, it was changed to directly assign it to the inventory.

Because they can see whether the other has obtained any spoils or what they have acquired, they can also share what they have.

……

None of my teammates are the type to drag their feet; they're all quite efficient.

Gadak practiced the "Gathering" skill and went up to dismantle the huge bear carcass. In just over ten seconds, it turned into large chunks of bear meat, bear bones, bear gallbladders, and the like.

The five then continued on their journey, advancing rapidly.

Chen Xiuxian was nervous at first, since he had never actually played the game before. Although he had watched the video of the next level, the specific details were different from playing it himself.

At first, he was too nervous to speak, afraid of revealing his secret, but he soon discovered that Nagardak was also a new player.

That old white dove was a "second-generation player"—a new account created after his main account was abandoned.

No wonder he's already equipped with an ebony sword!
To master this skill, most players need to be close to level 30 to accumulate the necessary resources.

Unless you're a real-life pay-to-win player or have a support group of friends and family behind you.

If you were to forge that ebony yourself, it would take at least a month and forty days to survive in the Yin Sha Rift Valley; it would be truly difficult.

Or you can buy it from the auction house!
That would require spirit stones—a high-level currency used among cultivators.

Old White Dove has used up all the capital he accumulated in his first life in his second.

He said that he died too many times in his first life, his lifespan was running out, and the path he took was not suitable, so he deleted his account and started over.

In his first life, he was already over level 20 and had accumulated quite a bit of wealth. So he quickly equipped his new character with a flying sword. It's so much fun fighting monsters with that!
Chen Xiuxian is still gathering materials.

In other games, people can auction off their items, but he can only do it himself...

Wait! Can I ask around in Shenyang to see if they sell them?
……

Along the way, Gadak had even more questions than Chen Xiuxian himself, asking all sorts of things. Chen Xiuxian would just listen to his questions and occasionally add his own.

Furthermore, he cultivated an "introverted lone wolf" persona for himself. In the real world, there are quite a few people whose mental and psychological state is "not quite ordinary" due to various circumstances.

The introverted lone wolf that Chen Xiuxian set for himself is already considered to be in a relatively normal category.

He said he had been leveling up in secluded, sparsely populated areas and hadn't had much contact with other players.

This time, I teamed up with someone because the Breakthrough Dungeon automatically formed a team.

That's not exactly lying, is it?

Chen Xiuxian: I'm only telling the truth!
So I also borrowed a lot of common knowledge from the game.

After the bear, we fought several waves of strange beasts, including some that looked like mutated gorillas!

Then we encountered a huge wave of monsters~
This will test the team's AOE capabilities against groups of monsters!
It was a huge swarm of leeches, each as thick as a baby's arm and a foot long!
Its slender body is black with orange stripes, and its body is constantly stretching and contracting in rings. There are suction cups under its body, and at the top is a three-lobed mouthpart in the shape of a triangle. If you look closely, you will see countless tiny rotating teeth!
This thing is terrifying! Just one look at it sends chills down my spine!
Not to mention there are hundreds of these things!

It was swarming in a thicket of bushes!

On the ground, on the trees, on the rocks, they kept wriggling and arching.

Those that were close enough to sense the heat source or human energy would attach themselves to the suction cups at the ends of their bodies, stretch out their entire bodies to get closer to the person, and open their mouths wide...

"Holy crap! That's disgusting! Yue~" Gadak gagged a few times, almost vomiting bile. Young~
Even the large, square-faced man with no time to die frowned deeply. "Everything else in this dungeon is fine, but this level is just infuriating. The designer has definitely been exploited to the point of turning evil by the boss!"

Without saying a word, the old white dove flung out the yellow talisman in his hand, which transformed into a fireball the size of a human head in mid-air and crashed directly into the leech swarm, exploding in the process.

The system started ringing and beeping non-stop!

However, this thing is only level 4, so it doesn't have many experience points.

The Ice Demon Path remained expressionless, only releasing three pitch-black ghostly figures.

Those three ghost servants were incredibly effective against this low-level creature, like three massive black scythes, waving their arms and opening their mouths to slash everywhere.

The leeches shrank into a ball as if they had fallen into salt water, spitting out blood, and died in the blink of an eye!
However, those leeches are truly fearless and probably don't even have the concept of fear.

Startled, they crawled over in large numbers, just like the black silt surging in.

Chen Xiuxian stomped his foot, and the ground in front of him suddenly rose up, forming an outward slope to block the leeches that were crawling over.

Then with another wave of his hand, large and small stones flew up from the ground and rained down on the swarming leeches.

"Wow! So cool!" Gadak exclaimed.

Old White Dove couldn't help but nod and smile: "That earth magic move was really quite impressive!"

Just clearing out this large area of ​​leeches kept everyone extremely busy.

There are just too many!

The old white dove then asked Gadak, "This thing can be considered a medicinal herb, do you want to collect it?"

Gadak waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to even glance at it: "No, no, it's too disgusting, I can't earn that kind of money!"

……

After the swarm of leeches, the group arrived at a vast, abandoned graveyard.

This is the very end of the dungeon. It's been less than an hour since we started this dungeon.

In this vast cemetery, broken graves and tombstones are everywhere, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

Many graves have been leveled, and some broken coffins are exposed on the ground.

There are many more monsters in this area!

There are many mummified corpses that have crawled out of coffins, ranging from level 10 to 15, and there are a lot of them.

This thing has a very keen sense of smell; it can smell the life force on a person and then it moves over with a "whoosh whoosh" sound from its throat.

Because of its slow movement and average strength, it is not a threat.

The number is indeed quite large; standing still for a while can attract forty or fifty of them, which is quite a drain on resources.

Moreover, these mummies occasionally include zombies, which are elite units with very high defense.

Without a second thought, he punched the man, sending him flying three meters away, but the man simply straightened up and stood up perfectly.

If he were to fight them one by one, he could kill each zombie in at least seven or eight punches. He'd be exhausted to death!

It's clear that his cultivation path isn't very efficient for solo monster-hunting; he must have a team behind him.

Of course, they have their own special tricks!
His entire body was covered in a burst of azure true energy, and he immediately launched into a set of "military boxing"!
The energy enveloped his arm, forming a massive fist half a meter in diameter, which sent more than a dozen mummies flying into the air!

Among the monsters is a type of ghoul that is extremely fast and agile.

This thing looks skinny, but it has a lot of explosive power.

Moreover, they are good at ambushes, usually hiding in broken coffins, and suddenly jumping out to take a bite when you get close!
There's also corpse poison!

Gadak was bitten on the calf, and within seconds the calf turned purple.

This thing was emaciated, but its eyes were bloodshot, it drooled, and its expression was extremely ferocious. Its sudden appearance startled the inexperienced Gadak, who didn't react in time.

However, the taciturn Ice Demon released a non-humanoid ghost, about the size of a human head and resembling a small monkey, which lay on Gadak's wound and sucked away the poison.

You know what, they all have quite a few tricks up their sleeves!
