43: Chapter 43 Silver Skill: Fiery Eyes

The group proceeded slowly through the dim tomb passageway, killing countless monsters along the way, with their experience points skyrocketing.

And just like that, the moment they relaxed, Li Mumu started acting mischievous again.

"Captain Gu, honestly, this path of ours is pretty simple. The mobs are all incredibly weak."

Gu Yuehua: "..."

Simple???

Gu Yuehua recalled their monster-grinding journey so far.

Round one: five three-meter Magic Stone Statues.

"Second job skill: Holy Purification Technique!"

"Second job skill: Holy Purification Technique!"

"Second job skill: Holy..."

Boom! The five Magic Stone Statues crumbled into a pile of rubble.

Round two: thousands of Bloodsucking Bats.

"first talent skill: Arrow Shadow!"

"First Class Skill: Demon Subduing Staff Technique!"

"First Class Skill: Firebird Strike!"

"First Class Skill: Holy Healing Technique!"

"Blessing of Luck!"

Boom! The ground was covered in bat wing materials.

Afterward, it was more of the same. Venomous Scorpion tails. Cockscomb Snake fangs. Banshee panties. ...

You call these monsters simple???

It's clearly because the five of you are too freakishly strong!

Just as Gu Yuehua was rolling her eyes at Li Mumu, the group arrived at the final tomb passageway.

"Great, once we pass through this tomb passageway, we can reach the Scorpion King's tomb chamber."

No sooner had she spoken than a dozen green-faced, fanged, dog-headed monsters charged out from the narrow exit of the tomb passageway.

"Watch out! They're elite monsters under the Scorpion King, Dog-Head Generals, levels Silver 8-9!"

As Gu Yuehua shouted the warning, she commanded, "Cuihua, use Taunt to pull the monsters. Xiuhua, Liu Lin, keep a close eye on the tank's health. Li Mumu, be ready to take over as the tank at any moment!"

"Yes, Captain."

Cuihua broke away from the group, met the dog-headed monsters head-on, and shouted while raising her shield.

"First Class Skill: Taunt!"

The eyes of the dog-headed monsters, which had been advancing at full speed, instantly turned from green to red. They turned around and swung their sickles at Cuihua.

Bang, bang, bang... Cuihua's health dropped rapidly. 97.1%, 75.7%, 50.3%, 31.1%.

"First Class Skill: Holy Healing Technique!" "First Class Skill: Plant Nutrients!" Cuihua's health recovered to 100%!

"Good!" Seeing that the first round of attacks had been withstood, Gu Yuehua commanded again, "Li Mumu, find a way to pull 2 to 3 monsters over. We'll kill them in batches."

"No problem." Li Mumu, wielding the fire poker he had drawn from the level 14 prize pool, charged fiercely toward the surrounded Cuihua and activated the fire poker's active skill: Ghost Fire!!!

When activated, the fire poker was imbued with blue flames, increasing attack power, with the blue flames dealing magic damage.

He struck three times, and the blue flames burned onto three of the Dog-Head Generals, causing them to howl in pain. Their eyes turned from red back to deep green, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Mumu.

One of the Dog-Head Generals spoke in human language: "Kid, were you the one who set us on fire?"

Li Mumu picked a booger, flicked it onto the face of the talking Dog-Head General, and smirked cheekily: "It was me. If you're not convinced, come at me!"

The three Dog-Head Generals shook off the blue flames from their bodies and patted their companions. In an instant, all the Dog-Head Generals turned to look at Li Mumu.

Cuihua's aggro was wiped, and it all transferred to Li Mumu.

"Brothers, let's kill this little brat together!"

As the words were spoken, a dozen sickles swung toward Li Mumu, terrifying Gu Yuehua. "Oh no!!!"

From Gu Yuehua's perspective, Cuihua was level Silver 9, while Li Mumu was level Silver 4. There was a 5-level difference, an insurmountable gap.

When Cuihua tanked the first round of attacks, her health dropped rapidly and she almost died. Now, with Li Mumu in her place, he might get one-shot!

"first talent skill: Bronze Skin and Iron Bone!"

Bang, bang, bang... The dozen sickles struck Li Mumu, as if hitting a steel plate. His health bar didn't budge; he was still at full health.

The Dog-Head Generals were instantly confused. They looked at the sickles in their hands, scratched the back of their heads, and thought to themselves: "Is the sickle broken?"

They didn't believe it and raised their blades to hack at Li Mumu again. Bang, bang, bang... They hacked for a full three minutes.

Li Mumu couldn't bear it and consoled them: "Dear Generals, are you tired from hitting me? Do you want to take a break, have some tea, and soak your feet to relieve the fatigue?"

Taunting. It was clearly a taunt.

Let alone the Dog-Head Generals, even Gu Yuehua couldn't bear to watch anymore.

As Li Mumu said this, he was cracking melon seeds with one hand and playing the single-player version of Sheep a Sheep with the other.

This attitude, these actions, this expression—if this wasn't mocking the Dog-Head Generals for being incompetent, what was it!!!

"Damn it, this brat is mocking us! Brothers, use your ultimate moves." "Alright!"

Accompanied by a roar from the Dog-Head Generals, black light flashed in their opened mouths, and they spewed out a stream of searing black flames.

"Oh no, it's Black Flame Breath!" "Priest, heal him quickly!"

It was too late; over a dozen streams of Black Flame Breath were aimed and rapidly spewed at Li Mumu. Boom, boom, boom...

After several loud explosions, thick smoke filled the air, enveloping Li Mumu's figure and making it hard to see.

"Damn it, I've lost the target and can't heal him! Everyone, save Li Mumu!" Liu Lin and Xiuhua's expressions changed drastically as they shouted in unison.

The incident was sudden, and the group panicked. To save Li Mumu, they all unleashed their skills at the Dog-Head Generals.

Gu Yuehua, in particular, knew the strength of the Dog-Head Generals very well, and she knew exactly how powerful the Black Flame Breath skill was.

Black Flame Breath: The Dog-Head Generals' ultimate kill skill, a skill used only when they go berserk, belonging to the magic attack category.

Legend has it that the Dog-Head Generals relied on Black Flame Breath to assist the Scorpion King in wiping out a small country. So... this time... Li Mumu was likely in grave danger.

But just as Gu Yuehua was frowning in heartache, a voice suddenly came from the smoke.

"Second talent skill: Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils!"

Hearing Li Mumu's voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison, but the scene that followed made their hearts, which had just relaxed, jump right back into their throats.

It was just... this time it wasn't a crisis, but an incredible event.

They saw that as the Dog-Head Generals kept spewing, their own health dropped like flowing water. In just over a minute, their health bars hit zero and they died instantly.

??? The group was completely confused, their mouths opening wider than the next, and their faces filled with shock.

What was going on? Could it be... they had seen a ghost?

Tomb, darkness, incredible events. Woo-woo... It was terrifying!!!

After a long while. As the last Dog-Head General fell to the ground, the smoke dissipated, and Li Mumu's figure gradually emerged.

Looking closely. In the darkness, with a human form and monkey body, a scorching white light shot upward from his eyes. The white light pierced through the tomb, aimed straight at the firmament, and illuminated the entire Ancient Valley.

Not far away, on a cliff in the valley, sat a man with a bloated and pale face. Due to his slovenly attire, it was hard to tell his actual age from his appearance.

"Finally, there's some movement. It was worth waiting for over a month. The show is officially starting!!!"
