30: Guidance, bone goat

“Stop, stop, stop. If this continues, just a few stronger Earth Palace Creatures will lead to your complete annihilation.”

“Although your artifacts are amazing, their power is only so-so.”

“Therefore, you must use them flexibly, not blindly follow orders, and certainly not act impulsively.”

“You need to understand your role, when to move, and when not to move.”

“In games, there’s a term called ‘aggro range,’ which means players will only attract a monster’s attention within a certain distance. Beyond that distance, even if it sees you, it won’t attack you.”

“Think about it carefully, isn’t it the same for Earth Palace Creatures?”

“But this isn’t absolute; some creatures are exceptions. I’ll show you sometime.”

Under Liu Yang’s scolding and guidance, the three sisters understood.

“Rats are coming from the front, they’re my specialty.”

“Okay, I’ll leave the rats to you, Second Sister. I’ll keep watch on the left.”

“The right side is all mine.”

“Hahaha, it turns out that once you find the trick, fighting monsters is so simple.”

“Sisters united, their strength cuts through gold. As long as we work together, no difficulty can stump the three of us.”

“Mm, Big Sister is right, Little Sister is also very capable.”

The three sisters explored forward in an orderly manner, and Liu Yang, at the back of the group, revealed a satisfied smile.

“It seems these three adorable girls are still worth nurturing.”

“Ah, there’s a new monster ahead, what should we do?”

Hearing the exclamation from the front, Liu Yang strode forward, coming to the very front of the group.

“Skeletal Mountain Goat Lv16: A death creature. Even if smashed to pieces, it can revive. It’s not easy to kill it. To deal with them, it’s best to have mental attack methods. Their attacks carry death energy, so please be extremely careful.”

“You all retreat. This isn’t something you can handle.”

Seeing the monster information, Liu Yang immediately had the three sisters retreat.

After two consecutive unconventional occurrences, Liu Yang had a general idea.

Perhaps the monsters in the Dungeon don’t appear progressively from low to high, but rather are randomly divided into areas.

As for why there was such a misconception, it might be that insects, rodents, and ants are the most common Earth Palace Creatures, found everywhere, hence the misconception.

Another point, a clue can also be seen from their names.

Whoosh!

With the warning, Liu Yang naturally wouldn’t engage in close combat with it.

Although he didn’t know what death energy was or what harm it caused, it was definitely right to avoid it.

Having used the repeating crossbow for a long time, up until now, Liu Yang couldn’t say he hit every shot, but he wasn’t far off.

An arrow shot out, hitting the Skeletal Mountain Goat’s cervical vertebra squarely.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the cervical vertebra was directly shot off.

The Skeletal Mountain Goat’s head fell to the ground with a “thud” and rolled a few times.

But the matter didn’t end there, and the Skeletal Mountain Goat didn’t die immediately.

The head flew up from the ground, flew towards the Skeletal Mountain Goat’s neck, and reattached itself.

Liu Yang’s attack angered the Skeletal Mountain Goat.

The Skeletal Mountain Goat lowered its head, aimed its sharp horns at Liu Yang, and with its four hooves thudding, charged towards him.

“Activate Second Kill skill.”

“Second Kill skill activated successfully.”

The first strike was just a test.

Since normal attacks were ineffective against it, he had no choice but to use a cheat.

Whoosh!

An arrow shot out casually, piercing into the empty eye socket.

“Your arrow shot several cracks into the Skeletal Mountain Goat’s skull, triggering the Second Kill skill. The Skeletal Mountain Goat is dead.”

“Congratulations on killing the Skeletal Mountain Goat. You have obtained 3 Spirit Grass, 2 Soul Flowers, 2 corrosion grass, and 1 Spiritual Energy.”

“Wow, Da Lao is so amazing! He can kill such a powerful monster with just two arrows.”

Seeing the monster die, Guan Ningyan immediately ran to Liu Yang’s side to give him a ‘benefit’.

Despite her being the youngest, certain aspects of her made Guan Ning霜, the Big Sister, feel embarrassed.

With her bouncing and jumping, her two small mountains occasionally bumped into him, which was extremely comfortable.

Of course, compared to Second Sister Guan Ningxiu, there was no comparison. Guan Ningxiu’s stature was enough to be described as exceptionally gifted.

Men would be mesmerized by her, and women would feel ashamed.

“The monster’s description said the best method was mental attack. Could it be…?”

Guan Ning霜’s focus was always so sharp, immediately spotting the crux of the problem.

But Liu Yang naturally wouldn’t explain it to her.

Mental attacks or whatever, are they as awesome as the Second Kill skill!

He smiled, saying nothing.

As for what the other party thought, that was her freedom.

“I didn’t expect this Skeletal Mountain Goat to also drop poisonous herbs. This is great.”

“If I can gather enough Bewitching Potion here, I won’t have to face the disgusting Poison Toad.”

“No, the Bewitching Potion requires shadow poison toad skin. Only the Poison Toad drops that. It seems I can’t avoid dealing with it in the end!”

Liu Yang’s thoughts churned, and his expression changed continuously, leaving the three sisters beside him bewildered.

“Da Lao, what’s wrong? Did you get something good?”

“If he got something good, he wouldn’t be like this. He probably got something decent but can’t use it.”

“Hmm, very likely.”

Unaware of the three sisters’ thoughts, Liu Yang remained silent.

“No, the Bewitching Potion formula is dropped by the Poison Toad.”

“Then is there a chance to drop antidote formulas or something similar here?”

“If there’s an antidote, then what’s there to be afraid of!”

Thinking of this, Liu Yang snapped back to attention, filled with renewed vigor.

Giving a shout, he strode deeper forward.

“Let’s go! The big monsters are mine, and the insects, rodents, and ants are yours. Let’s go fight monsters and eliminate all the Skeletal Mountain Goats.”

“Yes.” x3

The three sisters didn’t know what had happened to Liu Yang, but there was no time to think much, so they quickly followed.

“Your arrow shot off the Skeletal Mountain Goat’s front leg bone, triggering the Second Kill skill. The Skeletal Mountain Goat is dead.”

“Congratulations on killing the Skeletal Mountain Goat. You have obtained 1 Spirit Grass, 3 corrosion grass, 3 Copper Blocks, and 1 Spiritual Energy.”

“666666, Da Lao is too amazing! Another Skeletal Mountain Goat died by your arrow.”

As the Skeletal Mountain Goat fell and the materials were obtained, Guan Ningyan raised her hands and cheered.

“Your arrow shot off a large piece of the Skeletal Mountain Goat’s skull cap, triggering the Second Kill skill. The Skeletal Mountain Goat is dead.”

“Congratulations on killing the Skeletal Mountain Goat. You have obtained 5 Soul Flowers, 2 blood-sucking wood, and 1 Spiritual Energy.”

“Da Lao is awesome, Da Lao is invincible! A mere Skeletal Mountain Goat can’t withstand the power of your arrow, all turning to dust. This humble girl is impressed.”

Another Skeletal Mountain Goat was eliminated.

Guan Ningyan, as Liu Yang’s little fangirl, cheered wildly for him.

Although Liu Yang was a bit embarrassed at first.

But the truth was, it felt really good.

So he just let her be.

Seeing that Liu Yang didn’t object, Guan Ningyan became even more unrestrained.

“Da Lao traverses the Dungeon unrivaled.”

“When Da Lao makes a move, all Earth Palace Creatures disappear.”

“Da Lao, I love you, I want to have monkeys with you.”

There were many such words.

And then.

Even with Liu Yang’s thick skin, there were times he couldn’t listen anymore.

The envoy of justice finally appeared.

Guan Ningyan was ruthlessly suppressed by Guan Ning霜.

Finally, Guan Ningyan looked at Liu Yang with tears in her eyes, begging him to intercede for her.

Liu Yang felt a bit of pity, but when he met Guan Ning霜’s cold gaze, he uncharacteristically chickened out.

As for Guan Ningxiu, she watched the whole spectacle, a smile never leaving her face.
