Chapter 27 Heavenly Burning Arrow, I Became a Meat Shield?
Time passed by second by second, and several hours flew by.
"Have you rested well?"
Li Wu opened his eyes and looked at Hua Zitong beside him.
His voice was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of barely concealed excitement.
"Hmm, that's about it." Hua Zitong nodded. She looked Li Wu up and down and felt that after he closed his eyes to rest for a while, his whole demeanor was different, and there seemed to be something more in his eyes.
"Let's go, let's go deeper. The area ahead is called the 'Probability Corridor,' and there will be more kobolds there, so be careful."
Hua Zitong stopped thinking about it, stood up, gripped the simple wood-chopping knife tightly again, and walked ahead.
The two continued forward along the dark passage, one in front of the other.
After walking for about four or five minutes, the view suddenly opened up before us.
They arrived at a much wider underground corridor.
The ground here is no longer rugged rocks, but a single, huge, smooth stone slab that reflects one's image.
The stone disc is engraved with incredibly intricate roulette patterns, divided into several color zones of red, blue, and gold, resembling a giant casino roulette wheel.
On the walls on both sides of the corridor, those colorful "destiny bubbles" still float, emitting a light that is both alluring and dangerous.
"Chirp chirp!"
"twitter!"
As soon as they stepped into the corridor, that familiar, irritating scream rang out again from the darkness ahead.
This time, the number of kobold Fate Thieves emerging from the shadows has doubled!
There were ten of them!
As soon as they appeared, they immediately dispersed, forming a crescent-shaped encirclement from different angles, pressing towards the two of them.
Pairs of scarlet eyes merged together in the dim light, filled with greed and undisguised malice.
"So many!" Hua Zitong's face immediately darkened.
Ten kobolds!
Ten kobolds mean that once the battle begins, their luck will be stolen at an alarming rate. Even if they win, their luck will likely be completely depleted.
"Quickly finish this! I'll charge ahead, you use the Mud Arrows to control the enemy, and focus fire on one enemy first!" Hua Zitong made a decisive decision and immediately shouted out the safest tactic.
Her body sank slightly, her muscles tensed, and she looked like a fully drawn bow, ready to pounce at any moment.
"etc."
But a hand reached out and gently stopped her.
"Huh?" Hua Zitong turned around in confusion, only to be met with Li Wu's calm face.
"I'll go first this time."
Li Wu's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
He walked past Hua Zitong and stood directly at the front of the line, slowly drawing back the arcane bow in his hand.
"You go first?" Hua Zitong frowned slightly. "You can't handle it! Their attacks are very powerful, and they also have a vulnerability effect. One touch and you'll be crippled!"
Li Wu didn't say anything, but responded to her doubts with her actions.
He adjusted his breathing and focused his mind intently.
hum!
An orange-red energy arrow instantly took shape on the drawn bowstring! Tiny sparks even danced on the arrowhead!
"go!"
Li Wusong drew the bowstring.
The burning arrows roared out!
The arrow was aimed at a kobold on the far left.
"puff!"
The arrow struck the kobold precisely in the chest with a muffled thud.
-12!
A red physical damage number appeared above the kobold's head.
Hua Zitong was completely baffled. Wasn't this injury the same as before?
She was about to tell Li Wu to step back and stop showing off, but the next second, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The kobold's body trembled violently, and a burst of flames exploded from the wound!
-88!
A striking blue magic damage number popped up!
Before she could react, another blue magic damage spell popped up!
-20!
This is not over yet!
-20!
-20!
-20!
……
A series of continuous burning damage bursts from the kobold's head at a frequency of once per second!
The kobold's health bar was visibly depleting!
Hua Zitong's mouth opened wider and wider, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"What...what is this?!" she blurted out, her voice filled with astonishment.
Continuous damage?
Such high sustained damage?!
Her mind raced, and she did the mental calculations: the first hit dealt 88 magic damage, plus 12 physical damage, and then there was the burning damage of 20 per second for the next 5 seconds...
88 + 12 + (20 * 5) = 200 points!
A full 200 points of damage!
One arrow! Just a tiny bit of health away from killing a full-health kobold?!
Are you kidding me!
"Chirp chirp!"
Just as Hua Zitong was stunned into a mental breakdown, the other kobolds roared and rushed forward.
Li Wu's face remained completely calm as he drew his bow again and shot an arrow!
The second burning arrow was fired at another kobold.
-12!
-88!
-20!
……
The third burning arrow!
The fourth one!
He was like an emotionless turret, firing a burning arrow precisely every two seconds, igniting a deathly flame on every newly charging kobold.
In an instant, the screams of the kobolds echoed across the entire battlefield, creating utter chaos.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Hua Zitong finally reacted, grabbed her machete and rushed forward, easily taking down the kobolds who were burned to a crisp with just a few stubble.
Soon, all ten kobolds were eliminated.
Li Wu glanced at her lucky scales.
[Lucky Scales: 35/100]
Although I fought quickly, I still lost 8 points of luck due to the attacks of those kobolds during the battle.
"The mechanics of this dungeon are disgusting," Li Wu muttered, grimacing.
Hua Zitong walked over carrying a wood-chopping knife. She didn't say anything, but looked Li Wu up and down with an extremely complicated expression, as if she were looking at a monster.
After a long while, she finally managed to utter a sentence.
"What kind of skill is that... burning arrow?"
"Burning Arrow! I created this while I was resting. How's it? The damage is decent, right?"
As Li Wu answered, he bent down to pick up a few copper coins dropped by the kobold, speaking as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
"..."
Well enough?
Can that be described as "okay"?
That's called explosive damage!
Hua Zitong's heart was in turmoil.
Originally, she had positioned Li Wu as a support/healer, responsible for crowd control and healing. But now… he was dealing even more terrifying damage than she, the main damage dealer!
So, what about your own positioning?!
In the future, will I only be a meat shield in front of him, responsible for taking damage?
Thinking of this, Hua Zitong suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
"I'm actually jealous! I'm actually jealous of him!"
She took a deep breath, forcibly calmed her turbulent emotions, and forced a smile in response:
"Your skill deals a lot of damage, which greatly reduces the pressure on me!"
"Chirp chirp!"
Just as the two were talking, the kobold figures emerged again from the darkness ahead.
This time, there are a full fifteen!
They emerged from the shadows from all directions, forming an even tighter encirclement.
"The same as always?" Hua Zitong gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly, looked at Li Wu, and her tone was questioning.
"Hmm." Li Wu nodded, and without the slightest hesitation, drew his bow.
The orange-red energy arrow lit up on his bowstring once more.
With their previous experience, the two worked together even more seamlessly. They killed fifteen kobolds even faster than before.
However, their luck inevitably continued to decline.
[Lucky Scales: 25/100]
[Lucky Scales: 24/100]
……
After the battle ended, Hua Zitong led Li Wu toward the center of the corridor. Before they even reached the center, a large group of kobolds appeared in front of them again!
"This is the last wave! There are twenty of them!" Hua Zitong immediately reminded them.
Li Wu nodded and conjured another burning arrow!
However, just as he was about to shoot the arrow, something unexpected happened!
