My portable gaming girlfriend

This is the third day we have been in contact with the new expansion pack. The game has maintained a strong growth in popularity during these three days. After entering the game today, it is obvious that there are more players.

Fortunately, we don’t have to work today. We have a whole day in the game. If we count 10 hours in real time, then we can stay in the game for 100 hours...

Not to mention Kui for 100 hours, you can get through a few other higher-level tasks. This is the life you should have during the holidays.

After purchasing the consumables, we took over the task of "Yushan Beast" from the "Strange Beast Countermeasure Battalion", and took the airship to the map "Xing Luo Ze".

There is a difference between 'Xing Luoze' and 'Fukasawa', but the terrain is completely different. Overlooking this plain from the air, there are countless water puddles scattered all over it, dotted all over it, if players are not careful, they will fall into the water, hence the name 'Xing Luo Ze'.

I remember that the description of Yashan Beast is "...it looks like a Kuafu but has fur, and when you see it, the world is full of water." It is said that it is a guy like a monkey with wild boar hair.

After landing on this land, everyone found that the soil here was extremely wet and soft as soon as they stepped on the ground, almost like a quagmire.

The nearest jackal was prowling by a pool when the tracker led us to it. As described in the description, this is clearly a monkey. With a height of only about 1 meter, it looks like a doll compared to the monsters it encountered before. Its hair is very long, but it hangs down and sticks to the outer skin because it is wet. Its chest and back are inlaid with iron armor, and it doesn't look threatening.

But after all, it is a higher-level task, so it cannot be taken lightly. Even Shen Qing, who has always been reckless in battle, understands this.

The small fish jumping in the lake appear and disappear from time to time, implying that the depth of the small puddles is unknown. If the water is shallow, the feet will be stuck in the mud and affect the movement, and if the depth is deep, it may not reach the chest.

I heard that this place was originally part of the 'fertile soil', but a flood turned it into a swamp a few months ago.

"Shen Qing, don't attack early this time."

"...how many times do you want to remind me?"

Shen Qing's tone was full of impatience.

"Alright, alright, Ye Yin, let's attack together."

We plan to let Ye Yin contain the attack of the Yashan Beast as before, and Shen Qinganyi and I move the output, but this time the monster is different, its intelligence level is obviously higher than the previous monsters.

This time I did not use a bow, but changed to a crossbow that has been strengthened with rapid fire, [Silver Eagle Crossbow Light], this crossbow is made of the wing bones of a light and agile silver eagle dragon. It has a huge advantage in terms of arrows, and is the lightest crossbow in the game, suitable for dealing with highly mobile monsters.

This time Shen Qing took the gun barrel and replaced it with a longer barrel fitting. The bullet seems to use a 'composite lead bullet'. Although this can enhance the lethality of the musket, the reloading speed should also be extended accordingly. I really don't know what she thinks of--

"It can be resolved quickly, what's wrong?"

She answered me like this, and I was speechless.

I shot comfortably with the crossbow, but the Yashan beast was so fast that I had to slow myself down and aim as accurately as possible, which gave it a chance.

I saw the Yashan Beast's eyeballs rolled and suddenly stared at me.

"careful!"

Ye Yin, who has been dealing with it at close range, reminded me.

I realized it was coming, but... At this moment, there was a pool of water behind me, and there was no way to retreat.

There was only one way to dodge it, and I slammed to the right as it was about to approach, my shoulder almost brushing the attack of its claws.

Not only does this monster look cunning, but it also has much longer and sharper claws than other monsters, cutting off the flesh will probably kill half your life.

It rushed into the pool when it was empty. I stayed away from the pool and waited for it to go ashore again, but 10 seconds passed and I didn't see it.

"Are we going to fight underwater here..."

Just when everyone was wondering, a jet of water suddenly shot up from the pond, and the direction of the vertical jet of water jet decreased until it was almost parallel to the ground.

The water jet didn't stop but started spinning and spraying. Is this its trick!

"Get out of the way, Sakura! Heng..."

I yelled at Sakura who was standing stupidly while running away from the water column. Hearing my shout, Sakura suddenly realized that she was standing within the range of the water column. She started running out of range of the water column.

However, the shooting range of the water column was too long, and Sakura didn't run out of the shooting range, and was mercilessly knocked into the air. In fact, I didn't have time to remind her that 'just run sideways'.

"ah……!"

The impact from behind made Sakura fall to the ground.

The water column stopped after sweeping back and forth at a 180-degree angle, and I finally had the opportunity to see the situation of Sakura.

"Ayuan...I can't move..."

Sakura was lying on my arm. After all, she hadn't suffered substantial damage in the game, so her voice wasn't as weak as her body showed.

I took out the healing medicine from Sakura, and fed it to her who was handicapped. The medicine took effect almost immediately after I took it in, Sakura helped me by the shoulders and sat up...

"The enemy's attack range is too large, be careful."

"Um……"

Shen Qing was not injured this time, it might be better to say that she was lucky, she got behind Kui when the water jet attacked.

In fact, if she acts more cautiously in the game, many attacks can be completely dodged with her positioning. It's just that she is usually too calm, but she must fall into impulsive mode in the game...

Shen Qing took advantage of the attack time of the Yashan Beast to stand comfortably and shoot for a while, but the monster's ability is not limited to this——

The water level in the pond dropped rapidly, and even formed a whirlpool. The center of gravity of this vortex is a monster that is expanding.

"Then... what is that! It's disgusting!"

"It sucks water into its body!"

The pond was originally only three meters deep, but its water level almost dropped by almost one meter due to water absorption.

A 6-meter-high monster stood up in the water. The cannon barrel on its back was as big as a hairpin, and the iron armor on its body was gone. If a player came over at this time, I'm afraid they would never have guessed that it was a mountain beast.

It did not rush to attack, but began to walk slowly towards the shore.

This time is certainly a good time for us to attack, but based on past experience, it is more important to understand an enemy's attack mode than to attack rashly.

But Shen Qing didn't seem to care, she stood on the shore and continued to attack the giant monster in the water with armor-piercing bullets.

And Ye Yin was also observing.

Although he is a melee fighter, he is not without the ability to attack underwater. In fact, one of the powerful abilities of Xuangui helmet is the ability to allow players to "breathe underwater". Ye Yin can dive as long as the bird's beak is put down to cover the mouth and nose. up.

"Roar--!"

The Yashan Beast suddenly let out a roar, which was the same as Kui's sound wave, which can cause substantial damage to the player, and the turtle helmet just helped us defend against this damage.

The giant beast slowly climbed ashore, and Shen Qing took a few steps back.

If it moves slowly, then there must be compensation in other aspects, such as attack power, defense power... Or, what kind of big move is it accumulating?

It looked at Shen Qing and Ye Yin who were closest to it, both of them were standing on its right side, and the distance between them was only ten steps away.

"I think we should stand apart..."

Ye Yin suggested weakly.

"Huh? Why?"

"Is it a premonition? I will slowly move to the left of it..."

When Ye Yin was speaking, he had already started to move in the direction directly in front of the Yashan Beast, and the Yashan Beast was always staring at it.

However, when Ye Yin ran between us and the Yashan Beast, the giant beast suddenly moved.

It opened its mouth and spit out a huge water column with a diameter of nearly 1 meter. Ye Yin immediately rolled to the side. I pushed Sakura away, but I was hurt, and was sent flying a few meters away by the water column. I experienced the feeling of Sakura being shot by the huge water column just now, as if blocking the plane with my body... …

But after all, the defensive power of the equipment on my body is stronger than Sakura's 999 gold novice skirt, and I was able to get up after taking a frontal attack.

This monster's intelligence is considered very high in the game. It didn't rush to attack when it could attack, but seized the opportunity when the three of us were in a straight line to attack.

After it hit me, it immediately chased the nearest Ye Yin.

At the last moment, Ye Yin guessed that the escape was not as fast as the water column, and immediately chose to fall to the ground to avoid it. The water column narrowly brushed past his body, and then escaped the attack.

After the water column attack was over, the Jackal Mountain Beast was only half the size of being filled with water.

Then it jumped up, jumped up with the help of the water spray from its back, and smashed down on Shen Qing hard.

During the fall, gravity and the water spray cannon on the back simultaneously accelerated it, and Shen Qing's evasion was also a step slower, and the result was of course hit in the heart.

The water spurting from its body blocked its body.

"Shen Qing! Are you dead?"

I'm calling on the comm channel.

"...at the bottom of the water."

"The monster is coming to my side, Sakura, go and save Shen Qing."

"OK!"

The Jackal Mountain Beast has returned to its original size because it let go of the water, and it is a good time for us to attack after a round of combos.

"Next, I'm going to use Long Xiao bomb... Ye Yin, stay away from it."

"Shen Qing, you're alive... Wait for the Longxiao bullet? That bullet that is difficult to hit with synthetic materials?"

Pulse bombs are made of the vocal organs and dragon tendons of the Howling Dragon, and the materials obtained by killing a Howling Dragon can only be used to make 2 Dragon Howling Bullets, which are very rare bullets.

"Since you almost killed me, be prepared to be revenged to death by me."

Shen Qing raised her musket and said solemnly.

"Secondary school is a disease, it needs to be cured..."

When Ye Yin was just 3 meters away from the Jackal Mountain Beast, Shen Qing launched an attack.

The explosion of the dragon whistle bomb would cause a range attack, no matter how low Shen Qing's accuracy was, as long as she didn't point the arrow at the sky or simply turned her back, she would definitely be able to hit the enemy.

After the dragon whistle bomb hits an object, the dragon tendons eject and stimulate the vocal organs, making a sound like a ghost screaming. The diffused sound waves caused three rounds of sound waves within a range of five meters in diameter.

What surprised me was that the jackal beast was very afraid of this attack, it covered its ears and did not move...

It's a great opportunity to attack!

I fired more than 10 light-feathered arrows in one go, and Shen Qing immediately replaced it with ordinary lead bullets. With the joint efforts of the two of us, the Jackal Mountain Beast was bombarded, making the Mountain Jackal Beast tremble until it fell down.

In the face of the twitching jackal beast, concentrated fire attack is the kingly way. So the similar routine was staged again. After throwing 8 explosives, we had another round of concentrated fire attack. The mountain beast got up and moved, but was knocked down for the second time by the concentrated fire attack for a few seconds.

But after falling to the ground for the second time, it was obviously more violent when it got up again.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and its speed was faster than before, making it almost impossible to see the trajectory.

In this case, it is difficult for Ye Yin, who is a melee fighter, to help us block its attack because his speed is limited by the huge shield.

However, Ye Yin is worthy of being the 800 players in the arena. He quickly adjusted his strategy and began to use the minimum movement to restrain the jackal beast...

But the Jackal Mountain Beast also found that he couldn't get any benefit from Ye Yin, so he pointed the finger at me.

With his level of intelligence, he has already discovered that my output is higher than Shen Qing and Ying combined, right?

However, now that it has gone through two rounds of downfall, we are not far from victory...

But just after it swooped and missed, I saw it stop suddenly.

"how……"

No one can answer me. The Yashan Beast raised its head and stared straight at the sky.

I raised my bow and arrow - no matter what it wants to do, it is right to attack now!

But it was unaware of the attack on its body.

From a certain pool not far away, a huge black iron ball with a radius of several meters floated out! After the iron ball appeared, it rolled towards us quickly!

I got a sense of its size as it came over us—about the size of a water-soaked dalek.

"A Yuan!"

"Stay away!"

I rolled sideways to avoid the impact of the black ball.

But it didn't continue to chase either of us, it just stopped in the middle of the field.

Suddenly, thousands of water arrows shot out from its body,

The water arrow is like a bullet fired by a machine gun at an extremely fast speed, and the space around it, including the cone-shaped area, is bathed in this jet attack. Fortunately, I escaped because I was far away from it and reacted quickly, and only one leg was hit by the water arrow. stained.

Just one foot was touched, and it was already penetrated. I fell to the ground and saw that my calves, covered with thick armor, were bleeding profusely, completely out of my control.

However, the water arrow attack is not the last move of Black Ball...

Unknowingly, the jackal jumped to the side of the black ball at an extremely fast speed, and got in through a door opened on the ball.

The ball began to disintegrate and deform, becoming a humanoid monster with two feet on the ground.

The jackal driving a humanoid monster leaped high and landed on the ground in front of me!

Take off, fall, uninterrupted 4 times.

I, Shen Qing, and Ying were all sent flying because we couldn't dodge in time—especially Shen Qing, who was the most seriously injured.

"Can't move..."

At this moment, my whole body is seriously injured, only my hands can move, and I am almost a disabled person.

And our team's average blood volume is only 30%, which is a step on the road to rebirth for Shen Qing and Sakura.

If you don't use any props, you will definitely lose this battle.

I took out the precious prop "Life Fireworks". As the name suggests, it looks like a fireworks tube, and it can be activated as long as the fuse is pulled.

A ball of green fireworks shot straight into the sky, and exploded into thousands of snowflakes scattered on the battlefield...

This is a one-time large-scale recovery item, and all humans within its firework coverage can recover 20% of their blood.

It’s just that the flower of life, which is necessary to make it, is very expensive. The current price on the market is about 67 gold dollars each, which is a luxury for me every time I use it.

"Oh? Can you still use this prop?"

Shen Qing looked at the fireworks in the sky curiously.

"Have you really played the game before? Why do you look like a novice who just found out that there is this item in the game?"

"...just forgot."

suspicious.

At this time, except for Ye Yin, we all still have 50% of the blood volume. Next, we should pay attention to our positioning, and two bottles of healing medicine can restore our health in time. There is no need to use precious props——

boom--

A green firework flew into the sky and scattered...

Shen Qing casually threw away an empty fireworks tube.

"...You have this item? So you really just forgot it just now?"

"Of course, what do you think?"

She looked at me contemptuously.

The current team has an average of 70% blood volume, which is very good, and taking another bottle of medicine can restore 90% blood volume...

boom--

Another firework of life.

"Can you not use such an expensive item casually? Just now you can recover by taking medicine..."

"I still have 8 on me, and 50 in the warehouse, can't I use it?"

"……Can."

I forgot. The precious props I think are insignificant in the eyes of Miss Shen Qing...

"Come on, let my armor-piercing arrows pierce your throat—"

In order to cover up the embarrassment and gap, I installed armor-piercing arrows on my crossbow, aiming at the alive and kicking jackal beast...

"Don't be a bloody idiot."

Shen Qing squinted and complained. This guy completely forgot what kind of shameful lines he said in the second phase of middle school.

"When you see it, there will be floods in the world..."

Suddenly, a dull voice came from my ear.

"Wow~ who's talking?"

Sakura looked around and tried to find the source of the sound, but the sound was obviously not made by any of us, it is very likely...

"...It's the Yashan Beast."

In "Legend of Mountains and Seas", it is not a novelty that monsters can talk, and sometimes it is often a means of revealing the plot.

"My family is back, you should leave..."

"What is it talking about? I don't quite understand it."

"It means that their race has returned, let us get out of the way."

"Does that mean we give up? Where can those residents go after leaving here?"

Because of the previous guidance, Sakura already has the concept of 'sympathy' in her mind, but this sympathy does not distinguish between humans and NPCs...

"This is just a game. It won't really drive the residents away. Anyway, they will be defeated by the players in the end."

"There are also weaker players, won't they be torn apart if they can't beat like me?"

"There are other NPCs protecting them. As for you, you are an important support in the team, and we will protect you."

"But I also want to become stronger...until I can help A Yuan."
