After Becoming a Solo Player, My Unlimited Skills Made Me Invincible - Chapter 36
Guardian No. 2
“Guardian No. 2 turned out to be a combination of three No. 1s… But what is that red vine? Is it the evil power mentioned in the information?”
Just as Mo Xiao was muttering to himself, a crimson light burst out from the void and instantly pierced through Mo Xiao’s body.
[-9,999!]
-4,999
[Beep! Thorn effect triggered!]
[Beep, Black Tortoise Armor has been activated. HP is forcefully locked at one drop of blood for five seconds!]
[Beep. The enemy has invincibility, immune to earth and water attribute control.]
“!!!!!”
Seeing this, Mo Xiao’s pupils suddenly constricted.
He quickly focused his mind, swiftly pulled back his Flying General’s Bow, and began shooting frantically.
Instantly, dozens of arrows flew straight towards Guardian No. 2.
-1304!
Miss!
Miss!
Miss!
…
“What?!” With the arrow splitting function, Mo Xiao shot out 50 or 60 arrows in this wave, but only one arrow hit.
“Damn it! Why are they all misses?! How high is this guy’s evasion rate?”
Before Mo Xiao could finish his sentence, the enormous Guardian No. 2 appeared in front of Mo Xiao as if teleporting.
With six arms and six large sabers, he ruthlessly slashed at Mo Xiao.
At this moment, Mo Xiao had no time to think and could only rely on his warrior’s reflexes to fight back with all his might.
The six large blades came down on Mo Xiao like raindrops, rapidly slashing towards him.
Mo Xiao quickly retreated while his Lord’s Sword in his hand forcefully flicked upward.
“Clang!”
A sound of metal collision rang out.
The massive Guardian No. 2 staggered back two steps, and the blades in its hands were almost knocked away.
-1,000
-1,000
-1,000
At the same time, three different-colored numbers appeared on the body of Guardian No. 2, indicating successful counterattacks.
“Why is the damage so low?” Mo Xiao frowned, looking at the noticeably heavier armor on this creature compared to Guardian No. 1, his expression turning increasingly grim. “There’s no way this guy’s damage is only one thousand points. There’s only one possibility…”
Damage Absorption.
A very rare attribute, but if one possessed it, even skills that could cause fixed damage could be partially absorbed.
Based on this creature’s situation, it should have an insanely powerful damage absorption skill.
“I wonder if this thing qualifies as an elite-level or higher monster…”
Mo Xiao muttered, taking a deep breath and entering a state of complete focus, not daring to have any distractions.
With the help of his warrior’s reflexes, Mo Xiao could keep up with the speed of Guardian No. 2.
He perfectly parried every attack, even though he could only inflict a maximum of three thousand damage. At least he was causing damage.
After each counterattack, Guardian No. 2 would stagger back two steps, and during that time, Mo Xiao had an opportunity to strike back.
Although Mo Xiao couldn’t use active skills in this situation, with the high-frequency attacks of his Flying General’s Bow, even if this creature had a high evasion rate, Mo Xiao could occasionally hit it with two arrows.
Now, Mo Xiao’s gamble was whether he could trigger the Crushing Force a few more times.
… .
Four hours later, inside the black ant dungeon.
Jiang He sat quietly in front of the hidden space where she had been waiting. Just as she was about to doze off, a system prompt suddenly sounded.
[The time limit for the Black Ant Dungeon has been reached. You will be transported out of the dungeon soon. Please wait…]
“What? No! Mo Xiao hasn’t come out yet!”
Naturally, the system didn’t pay attention to Jiang He.
The next moment, Jiang He felt a flash of light, and she was immediately back at the entrance of the dungeon.
“Jiang He, you’re finally back. What happened inside the Black Ant Nest? Why did you stay for so long?”
As soon as Jiang He came out, the Second Hall Master rushed over with a worried expression.
Beside the Second Hall Master, Jiang Shan sat on the ground with a swollen face and bruises, his eyes filled with tears. “Little ancestor, you finally came out. If you didn’t come out, your mother would have killed me!”
“Mother… ” Jiang He murmured, looking at the Second Hall Master in front of her. Then, as if she remembered something, she quickly asked, “Uncle! Mother! Have you seen Mo Xiao?”
“Hmm? Didn’t he teleport out with you?” The Second Hall Master furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this. “That shouldn’t be the case. The Black Ant Nest dungeon, which is at the Purgatory level, allows a maximum of four hours. If it exceeds four hours, you’ll be forcibly teleported out.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan cautiously approached and said, “We used the Scrying Mirror just now. Did you find something on one of the walls? The Scrying Mirror shattered at that moment.”
Jiang He nodded hastily. “Yes! At that time, Mo Xiao found a hidden space. We were supposed to go in together, but I hesitated for a moment, and Mo Xiao went in alone. After that, the teleportation didn’t work.”
“What? There can’t be a hidden space in the Black Ant Nest! That’s impossible!” Jiang Shan immediately refuted without hesitation.
This Black Ant Nest had been explored by countless predecessors, even though it was a Purgatory-level dungeon. They had never discovered any hidden spaces. How could Mo Xiao find one?
If it weren’t for Jiang He saying it, Jiang Shan probably wouldn’t have believed it.
“It’s true! I’m not lying to you!” Jiang He anxiously said, “He has been in that hidden space for four hours now! He hasn’t come out yet!”
Jiang Shan’s expression became strange as he asked, “Could that guy be dead?”
“Impossible! I was in a team with him! I can see his information!”
Jiang He said, pulling up their team panel directly.
They saw that Mo Xiao’s HP had remained at 100%, indicating that he was constantly in battle, which was quite strange.
Seeing this, the Deputy Master remained silent for a moment and said, “It’s not impossible for a hidden space to exist.”
“Huh?” Jiang Shan looked at her in astonishment. “Are you serious, sister-in-law?”
“Can you explain the existence of the secret realms then? Even the monsters in our world appear out of thin air. It’s normal for such hidden spaces to suddenly appear,” the Deputy Hall Master calmly said. “Currently, we can only observe Mo Xiao’s status through a panel. We can’t help him.”
“What if I send him a message? Or ask him to start a video call?” Jiang He quickly suggested.
“No.” Before Jiang He could send a message, Jiang Shan and the Deputy Hall Master stopped him at the same time.
“No, you can’t.” Before Jiang He could send a message, Jiang Shan and the Deputy Hall Master simultaneously stopped her.
“Then… What should we do?”
“There’s nothing we can do. We can only wait patiently.”
Meanwhile, inside the dungeon.
Mo Xiao walked skillfully through the field, his sweat-soaked head and heaving chest revealing his exhaustion.
How could he not be tired after four hours of intense battle?
“There’s only one last thing left… Go to hell!”
As the last arrow was shot, a pleasant voice resounded in Mo Xiao’s mind.
Mo Xiao’s heart instantly relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground.
[Congratulations on killing Guardian No. 2 and gaining 150,000 experience points!]
