Net Game: All My Pet Beasts Are Goddesses - Chapter 58
Chapter 58: A Dark Scepter! An Exorcist!
Chen Feng and Hex appeared at Clearwater Lake.
As they said this, they walked toward Joshua.
Hearing this, Joshua put away the dark scepter in his hand and looked at his two brothers.
Although he was also a mercenary, when carrying out missions, he often stayed behind as a technician in the car to carry out the tactical analysis.
Therefore, unlike his companions, he did not choose to be a melee warrior or a gun swordsman.
Seeing that Chen Feng and Hex had come over, Joshua revealed an excited expression and said, “Why are you guys here? I was just thinking of looking for you guys! What did you guys say just now? Maise the God is in the same region as us?”
The world of Sword and Magic was divided into many different regions. If the people nearby wanted to enter the dungeon, they could only go to the one located in each region.
What Joshua did not expect was that the person who was the hot topic in the world channel was in the same dungeon region as him.
“Yes! We have inquired about it clearly. Someone in the regional channel said that he found traces of Maise the God. After the other party entered a dense forest, he should have gone straight to the location of the Dragon’s Lair dungeon!” Hex told him what he had found.
“Yes, I’ve also seen such content on the regional channel!” Chen Feng added.
At this moment, Joshua revealed a worried expression, “Chen Feng, have you decided? Are you really going to take revenge this time?”
Although Maise the God was in the same region as the three of them, if they chose to take revenge, they might have to pay a huge price.
Currently, Joshua was holding a gold-grade dark scepter and had advanced his skill, Devil-breaking Curse, to level 3.
However, if he died, his equipment would be gone and his skills would be lost.
At that time, he would have to start all over again.
Due to this, Joshua was worried.
“I must kill Maise the God. The Dragon’s Lair dungeon this time will be where he will die!” Chen Feng revealed a cold expression and said.
Joshua could not help but point at his head, “You’re only level 10. How are you going to take revenge?!”
He had died once before, so not only was Chen Feng’s level low, but he did not even have any silver-grade equipment.
On the way, Chen Feng had only relied on his previous experience to quickly reach level 10.
Many of the newbies had already left the novice village, so they couldn’t possibly leave behind any silver-grade equipment.
“If you guys won’t help me, then I’ll do it myself,” Chen Feng appeared very agitated.
He had to kill Maise the God no matter what.
In his heart, this thought was incomparably firm.
At this moment, Hex pulled Chen Feng and said, “Don’t worry, I will help you! We are your brothers. We can’t just watch you suffer such humiliation and remain indifferent!”
Hex said these words that were filled with humanity and Chen Feng nodded solemnly, “With you as a brother, my career as a mercenary back then was very meaningful!”
Joshua, who was standing at the side, saw that the situation could no longer be reversed, so he simply said, “Since all of you have decided, then help me do one thing. I found a scroll ahead. It should be an exorcist’s exclusive skill scroll! But there are level-20 demonic beasts patrolling around, so I can’t get close at all. If we want to kill Maise the God, then we must get this skill scroll!”
Hearing this, Hex could not help but shake his head.
He raised the silver-white longsword in his hand.
After training hard, he had trained the skill “Energy Light Slash” to level 3. By injecting light energy into his weapon and swinging his sword forward, he could send out a slashing wave.
“If I use the Energy Light Slash now, even if the opponent is three levels higher than me, they will be instantly killed! Not to mention that Maise the God is still at level 15! We don’t have to waste our stamina just for a scroll. After all, the dungeon will open in less than two hours.”
Hearing what Hex said, Joshua shook his head violently, “It’s better to have a skill scroll than not. With the three of us working together, we should be able to easily take care of that level-20 demonic beast.”
Hearing this, Hex could only nod, “Alright then, we’ll listen to you this time.”
Immediately after that, the three of them entered the forest beside Clearwater Lake.
A wolf’s howl sounded from all directions.
“Oh no! That demonic beast has cubs!” Joshua revealed a terrified look.
He pointed towards the rear, “Let’s leave quickly. It’s fine if we give up on the scroll, but these cubs are also level 15 existences!”
In the next second, they were surrounded by the cubs from behind.
At this moment, Hex raised the laser gun in his left hand and the silver-white sword in his right hand. He said calmly, “Let these demonic beasts test the results of my training! Joshua, use your curses to help me pin down those demonic beasts that are trying to ambush us! Chen Feng, as the meat shield, you stand next to Joshua to prevent some fast demonic beasts from launching a surprise attack!”
Under Hex’s instructions, Joshua and Chen Feng immediately went into a combat state.
They were back in the state when they were hired as mercenaries and carrying out missions.
As a close-range warrior, Chen Feng had obtained a silver-grade shield from the novice village.
This shield was already the highest-graded equipment on him.
“Now that I’m not strong enough, I can only cover for my teammates!” Chen Feng knew his limits and thought to himself.
Then, Joshua cast the Devil-breaking Curse.
With that, two word-shaped curses flashed with a dark light as they rushed out.
Then, the group of demonic beast cubs suffered some damage after being attacked by the curses.
The vampiric evil bears were the typical example of having thick defense and extremely long HP bars.
The demonic curse did not threaten their lives at all.
However, something surprising happened. The speed of the demonic beast cubs that had been hit by the curse slowed down.
“What’s going on?” Chen Feng asked in surprise.
“This is the additional effect of the Devil-breaking Curse. It can reduce the speed of those who are affected by 30%!”
“Wow!” Chen Feng was shocked when he heard Joshua’s explanation.
Following this, Hex released an Energy Light Slash and he used the laser gun in his left hand to attack at the same time.
[Penetrating Shot LVL 2]
With that, a powerful laser shot towards a demonic beast cub and pierced through its heart.
[Ding! Congratulations player Hex for killing a demonic beast cub. Obtained 100 EXP!]
[Ding! Congratulations player Hex for killing a demonic beast cub…]
[Ding! Congratulations player Hex for killing the level 20 vampiric evil bear. Obtained 300 EXP!]
After a series of battles, all the vampiric evil bears in the forest lay dead on the ground.
Although there were only seven or eight of them, Hex and the others had put in a lot of effort to kill all of them.
Then, Hex pointed at the scroll in the depths, “Joshua, that skill scroll is yours!”
Hearing this, Joshua rushed over.
[Ding! Player Joshua, your class is an exorcist. You meet the conditions to open the scroll. Do you wish to open it?]
[Yes!]
Joshua nodded his head vigorously.
[Ding! Congratulations player Joshua. You have obtained an Interference Curse. Upon casting, there is a certain probability that demonic beasts will be stunned or cursed! There is a small probability that players will be stunned or cursed.]
After seeing the skill “Interference Curse”, Joshua revealed an excited expression, “This is a treasure that will be very valuable in the dungeon! With it, Maise the God will be easily captured.”
Hearing this, Chen Feng and Hex nodded.
“Looks like the Dragon Lair dungeon is destined to be the place for Maise the God to fall!”
“Let’s go, it’s almost time.”
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic reminds all adventurers that there is only one hour left before the dungeon opens!]
[Countdown: 59 minutes!]
[58 minutes!]
