Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

And there was no reply in the team channel, which made Xiaoyan feel anxious.

Where has everyone gone? Why is there suddenly no reply?

At this time, all the stars were actually above Xiaoyan's head.

"My fellow Guardians, please understand that this is a test unique to Guardians, and I cannot let you go down with me."

The young mermaid had a calm expression. His explanation was reasonable. Everyone present was worried that it would interfere with the progress of the exclusive mission, so they did not make things difficult for the young mermaid.

Just a few meters above Xiaoyan's head, there was a transparent dome, and everyone came here after coming down from the narrow passage.

Ye Qing took the initiative to stand beside Huangfu Wen Ning, his right hand seemed to be "unconsciously" placed on her shoulder, and he looked down with a serious expression.

Feeling Ye Qing's right hand, Huangfu Wenning seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But the current situation is still not optimistic. No one knows what Xiaoyan's test project is, and the communication on the team channel has been temporarily disabled. Ye Qing looked at the terrain below and it didn't seem like he needed to move to pass the level.

The ravines surrounding it looked more like the spikes and fences used to restrain wild beasts in an arena.

"this......"

"Just call me Feisel, the adventurer."

While Ye Qing was still thinking about how to address him, the young mermaid had already taken the initiative to introduce himself.

"Feisel, can I know what kind of test my companion is undergoing?"

This sentence is not only what Ye Qing wants to know the most, but also what everyone else present wants to know.

What kind of test does Xiaoyan have to complete on this platform?

"Strength. As a guardian, strength is an indispensable part. Without sufficient strength, he cannot fulfill his duty of protection."

Feisel still looked nonchalant, and his answer just happened to confirm Ye Qing's guess.

Next, Xiaoyan might have to face elite or even BOSS-level monsters alone.

"Captain Ye, is it really okay to let the Exorcist class fight like this..."

Anjie next to her was already a little worried. The Exorcist profession's individual combat ability was not outstanding, and Xiaoyan was not the type to be a single C.

It would be terrible if this test would reduce his level and mission.

"Trust him. There's nothing more we can do now."

Chapter 32: Test of Strength

ps: Extra chapters are here. Thanks to Master Liancu, Yunxiu Nishang, Kongcheng Jueshang, fcggv and other readers for their support! There will be an extra chapter 2 tomorrow!

Ye Qing shook his head. In this situation, they had little room to interfere.

This is not like the mission of Justice at that time. At that time, it was necessary to guard the tombstone from being eroded by undead creatures. The large number of undead creatures pouring out from the surrounding areas did not limit the targets.

What Xiaoyan has to face now should be the same as what he faced when he faced the blackened Knight Sandro.

Zhao Xin, who was standing next to him, was concentrating on watching the scene below her feet. She couldn't help showing envy in her eyes. It was unclear whether she was envious of the exclusive task or the environment.

Soon, the sudden sound made everyone present concentrate.

squeak-squeak-

squeak--

It was like the harsh sound of nails rubbing on a blackboard, making everyone present feel a little creepy.

The source of the sound was right under this circular gully, and judging from the echo, it was obviously some distance away from Xiaoyan.

Xiaoyan, who noticed the sound under his feet, didn't even dare to stick his head out. He lit several talismans again and threw them towards a location slightly farther away from the sound.

The lit talisman turned into a burning ball of fire that kept falling down. The residual light illuminated part of the scene in the ravine, and also allowed Xiaoyan to catch a glimpse of some strange existence.

The withered and thin arms were climbing on the wall, and the gray skin was as chilling as a corpse. I almost instinctively resisted such a presence.

The piercing sound just now was probably made by this arm, right?

The fireball that was thrown down was unable to reveal the full appearance of the monster, but the status of the task had already been updated.

Exclusive mission: Cradle of Life (2/?)

Mission Description: Pass the test of strength, defeat Hamita of the Abyss, and retrieve the key to the Cradle of Life

Mission Reward: Unlock the Deep Blue Darkness skill tree

"Unlocking the skill tree is not necessarily the final task. Can the exclusive equipment be further enhanced?"

Although Xiaoyan was also afraid, the reminder of the exclusive task and his expectations for the equipment gave him courage.

The Hamita of the Abyss mentioned in the mission description most likely refers to that monster. The sound it made just now was enough to make people shudder, not to mention its appearance illuminated by the fire.

The huge body and possible "claws" can become a deadly move in low-light conditions.

I can't go on like this, I need to light up the surroundings a little more...

Xiaoyan gradually reacted at this moment. The temporary "failure" of the team channel might be related to the mission. The BOSS in front of him needed to be killed by himself.

In the normal dungeon strategy, Xiaoyan has killed quite a few bosses and elite monsters by himself. To say that he does not have one-on-one strength is indeed a bit of an understatement to him.

However, with the update of the version and the increase in the difficulty of the monsters in the strategy, the level of fighting alone must be at least like Wu Yonghe to be considered at ease. As for Ye Qing, who is suppressing the boss...

Thinking of this, Xiaoyan had already taken out several talismans and threw them in all directions. The Suzaku Flame Shikigami had begun to spread around the venue.

"Very good. At least you are still clear-headed. You didn't lose your composure because of the environment and the disadvantages of fighting alone."

At this moment, Li Xuan in the coaching room also saw this scene and expressed his approval of Xiaoyan's actions.

The surrounding environment is so dark that it is difficult to see objects within a normal field of view, so lighting up the environment first is naturally the best option.

But Xiaoyan still had some thoughts when he threw out the talisman. The Suzaku Flame Shikigami he threw out was not attached to the wall, but suspended in the air.

"Is there any reason for this, Master Li? I feel like you are too lenient with them..."

The assistant coach couldn't help but complain. He really didn't see any special meaning behind this move.

And it can be said that in the eyes of most people, Xiaoyan's previous operation was just to throw a few fireballs upwards to illuminate the environment.

"Assistant Teacher Xiao Feng, your thinking is rigid now~"

A light laugh came from behind him. Assistant Professor Feng was about to retort when he noticed that the person coming was none other than Hu Li, who had taken a break from her busy schedule to come over and watch.

She watched Xiaoyan's actions on the big screen and seemed to have thought of something.

"Sister Hu, please tell me, don't keep me in suspense."

Assistant Coach Feng felt a little helpless. At the moment, he really couldn't figure out much. Could the fireballs hovering around him change in any other way?

Being able to become an assistant teacher shows that his understanding of the game is not bad, and he must have learned about the skills and characteristics of each profession.

At this moment, Hu Li, an "outsider", saw the trick that even an insider like me could not see. Could it be that she really just couldn't think straight?

"You'll understand when the monster comes out."

Li Xuan smiled, and also did not take the initiative to explain at this time, but left the suspense to the monster that would appear next.

The harsh friction sound was heard again, but this time it was obviously fleeting.

Xiaoyan, who was standing in the center of the platform, had already summoned a number of elemental shikigami and was vigilantly observing the movements around him.

When Xiaoyan heard the voice suddenly stop, his brows furrowed, but Anjie above him had already shouted unconsciously.

“Get out of the way!!!”

But the team channel was "disabled" at the moment, Xiaoyan couldn't hear Anjie's voice at all, and didn't notice the impending danger at all.

Until his eyes unconsciously looked at the ground, the next moment, as if an electric current ran through his body, Xiaoyan desperately flew to the side.

boom--

The deafening sound suddenly echoed in the entire space. When the huge body fell from mid-air, Xiaoyan barely dodged and avoided death from the pair of sharp claws.

What appeared in the firelight was a huge body made of skin and skeleton.

Through the pale and dry skin, you can see that the bones beneath the skin seem to be constantly moving, and the pungent fishy smell is even more disgusting.

It has a body like a giant, but all the bones in its body seem to be about to explode out of its body, and the sharp sound comes from a pair of steel claws.

The sharp claw was obviously not a part of the withered giant's original structure. The crooked steel nails and marks of branding on it proved that it was forcibly installed later.

When this body, which was as tall as a floor, appeared on the platform, even the firelight reflected in the surroundings was blocked a lot.

The reason why Xiaoyan was able to notice this change just now was because he deliberately left the fireballs at a distance from the wall.

"I see! If the flame is completely close to the wall, although the area covered will appear larger at first glance, the shadow it casts will also become larger. The multiple shadows will obviously affect visual judgment."

Assistant Coach Feng in the coaching room witnessed this scene and shouted out in sudden realization.

It is precisely because of this space that when the withered giant below takes action, corresponding shadows will be reflected on the back of these fireballs.

When the other party moves, the smaller shadows projected on the wall can most directly reflect the speed and direction.

Xiaoyan, who was on the platform, couldn't laugh. Although the enemy had appeared in front of him, how to attack became a difficult task.

"Every time the claw swings, I have to retreat at least three steps. If I keep retreating like this, there won't be much space left to retreat..."

Although the withered giant moved slowly, his sharp steel claws made up for this weakness very well. Each swing could cover most of Xiaoyan's movement range.

The sweeping left and right restricted Xiaoyan's flexible lateral movement, forcing him to retreat temporarily.

This can't go on like this!

Several methods suddenly flashed through Xiaoyan's mind. The moment the withered giant raised his arms again, he quickly formed a few seals with his hands and threw them out with the talisman.

In an instant, the huge steel claw that was about to fall suddenly bounced straight up.

The sound of metal clashing against each other continued incessantly. The withered giant found that his attack was blocked and immediately let out a crazy howl.

He raised the claws in his hand again and began to wave them in front of him, but they were bounced away every time.

Shikigami——White Tiger Gold!

Just like the flame of the Vermillion Bird, the White Tiger representing the gold of the west and the center of the four directions has the most ferocious means of attack, and the gold of the White Tiger is the most extreme of the corresponding skills.

The white tiger phantom kept waving its sharp claws, as if trying to compete with the withered giant. Another collision forced the withered giant to retreat several steps.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiaoyan rushed out quickly and threw countless talismans around the platform.

Although the attack of White Tiger Gold is powerful, it can only last for a short ten seconds. Within these ten seconds, Xiaoyan must find a way to further force the opponent to retreat.

"If his movement speed is not fast, then did he jump up just now purely by bursting out of energy in an instant?..."

Xiaoyan was just about to go around the withered giant when this thought came to his mind.

The first time I heard the harsh friction sound, it took several minutes before I heard it the second time. But after the second time, less than a minute passed before I heard that short and rapid sound.

As a result, the next moment, the withered giant fell straight down from mid-air.

Although there was no immediate answer in his mind, Xiaoyan had already reacted instinctively.

His right hand swiped quickly in the air to complete the spell, and his index finger and middle finger were put together, pointing directly at the arm of the withered giant.

"Golden rope - lock!"

Xiaoyan threw the talismans into the countless surrounding talismans. Several of the talismans suddenly lit up with golden-red light at this moment. Several ropes were thrown out directly from the talismans and wrapped around the arms of the withered giant.

The moment the giant was tied up, he immediately used his arms to try to break free.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly fall to the ground.

"Xuanwu-Yinzhao!"

Chapter 33 Li Huo

The sacred beast Xuanwu, which had not been cancelled before, came in handy at this moment.

Right under the feet of Hamita of the Abyss, the originally solid ground suddenly turned into a quagmire, causing the right leg that supported the huge weight to sink directly.

Without a leg, coupled with the weight of the two pairs of huge steel claws, Hamita's left leg immediately fell to the ground, creating a huge deep hole in the ground.

The sudden trap made Hamita roar, but the roar sounded quite awkward.

"How come he is so big but has such a small voice?"

Anjie couldn't help but frown slightly. The people above could naturally hear the voice made by Hamita.

But the sound seemed to be half-muffled by something, but there was no obstruction on Hamita's face, and nothing penetrated the middle of her throat.
