"By the way, did you come alone? You didn't bring any attendants?" Ellie asked, somewhat surprised.
Su Xi was speechless. "I can complete the task myself, why bring followers? Are they trying to steal my experience points?"
"Well..."
Ellie was speechless at Su Xi's words, and the rest of the conversation was interrupted.
Su Xi asked again, "Could you arrange for someone to take me there so I can deal with those monsters?"
"Oh, okay, shall we add each other as friends first?" Ellie quickly agreed, then asked cautiously.
Su Xi: "..."
Why is everyone suddenly so keen on adding friends?
Su Xi still refused; women are such a hassle.
"Wow! Someone actually got a rare item! Everyone, did you see that? Someone got a purple item!"
Ellie's boyfriend was standing on the shore, live-streaming the battle between players and piranhas. When he saw a player kill a piranha and get a rare piece of equipment, he immediately cheered.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Upon seeing the purple equipment, the player's eyes practically lit up with greed. Ignoring the fact that he was a fragile marksman, he immediately jumped off the defensive fortification and ran to pick up the equipment.
"Snap! Snap—"
-1505!
-1498!
While he was picking up equipment, a piranha flew up and bit him twice, killing him instantly.
The viewers in the live stream were terrified.
"If I die again, I'll be in a weakened state for another hour, making it even harder to fight monsters. I was too reckless. Anyway, the equipment that drops has a one-hour protection period, so what's the rush?"
"Fortunately, at least I found some equipment before I died, so I didn't lose both my life and my money."
"Ahhh, I really want to know what the stats are of the rare equipment that just dropped. It looks like a sword, so it should be suitable for me, right?"
Amidst the lively atmosphere of players slaying monsters, Su Xi was brought here by an elven servant.
The elven servant [Amit] pointed to the player and the piranha with two strange legs on the muddy ground in the distance and said, "Your Highness, the piranhas have been appearing here for several days. They often bite through the bottoms of passing ships, and Priestess Ellie has been troubled by this for several days."
Su Xi nodded, indicating that she understood.
[Polluted Piranha]
Level: 35
Life Level: Common Monster (Contaminated)
Health:
Attack power: 1500
Defense: 200
Skills: Swift Swim (Swimming speed in water +50%), Consecutive Bite (Instantly deals two 100% damage attacks), Water Shield (When health drops below 10%, generates a 5000-health shield that cannot be broken for one minute, restoring 5000 health)...
Description: I'm so hungry, so hungry, why are we here?
For a monster of average level, having these skills is already quite good, and it fits the profile of an aquatic assassin.
But why didn't they say what kind of pollution it was?
Could it be another Fallen Ones?
Su Xi activated her talent while deep in thought.
[Dimensional Avatar: Tokisaki Kurumi]
The familiar red dress reappeared.
"City of Eating Time!"
A massive red array instantly appeared on the battlefield.
The piranhas that came ashore were all slowed down.
I only have 53 Time Value points left in the Zafkiel, not even enough for a few skills. I'll use City of Eating Time to absorb some time first.
Fortunately, there were many piranhas, and the Time Value was full in no time.
At this moment, the players on the battlefield noticed the bright red time array and instantly became excited.
"It's Kurumi!"
"The number one player has arrived!"
"What a cool skill."
The next instant, Kurumi flashed onto a dry mound of earth.
"The Third Bullet!"
He shot himself, and his attributes instantly increased by 50%.
Thud, thud!
-3747!
-3812!
Two shots were enough to kill a piranha with only 5,000 health points left, without even giving it a chance to use its Water Shield.
"Wow, this damage is unbelievable."
"Damn, it didn't even give it a chance to activate its shield and run away before it was taken down. That's amazing."
The surrounding players stared wide-eyed. They had all dealt less than a thousand damage to the piranhas, so it was hard to believe that a player could now deal nearly 4,000 damage.
Kurumi ignored their shock. With Time Value, she created three more clones to help kill the fish.
Although the clone's attack power is only half that of the main body, it is still higher than that of an ordinary player.
With Kurumi joining the team, the speed of killing fish increased significantly.
"Ding—, you have killed a [Polluted Piranha]. Killing a monster one level higher grants you double the experience bonus, and you have gained 700 experience points!"
"Ding—, you have killed one..."
Only 700 experience points per animal...
This is a far cry from the previous experience of getting several thousand experience points per monster when killing one that was more than ten levels higher.
Kurumi glanced at her experience bar.
My god, 20 million experience points, how long will it take to level up using only these fish?
As she pondered this, Kurumi suddenly felt a sense of admiration for the players who were leveling up on the leaderboard.
No player has better equipment than her right now, which means it's difficult for her to level up by killing monsters ten levels higher and enjoying ten times the experience bonus. Yet, they've managed to catch up with Kurumi.
It's really both grindy and expensive.
That's absolutely terrifying.
Such a rapid offensive quickly changed the situation where there were more fish than people on the shore.
Kurumi cleared a large area by herself, relieving the pressure on the surrounding players. The piranhas that had low health and activated their shields to escape were not so easily swallowed by the fish and disappeared.
After the piranhas on the shore were all cleared away, Kurumi stepped into the mud and picked up the items scattered on the ground.
The drop rate of wild creatures is higher than that of dungeon monsters and quest monsters, but these are all ordinary monsters and don't drop anything good.
After counting my gains, I found a total of 1093 Silver Coin and 13 pieces of ordinary-level equipment.
Kurumi didn't even bother to look at these items; she just threw them up in the auction house at the lowest price.
The piranhas on the shore died too quickly, which meant that the piranhas in the water were killed by other players before they could even fully reach the shore.
The situation has reversed.
There are too many monks and not enough porridge right now.
Kurumi didn't compete with them for the monsters, mainly because the experience points weren't worth fighting over, and it would be beneath her saintly status.
Simply cancel the incarnation and then transform back into Kurumi Incarnation; this will clean the mud off the spirit dress.
Kurumi watched the players fight over the Warcraft in silence, lost in thought: Why do I seem to have an extra item called "Elf Saintess"?
However, Kurumi was unaware that this moment of transformation was recorded in Pude's live stream.
"Huh? Did Tokisaki Kurumi just turn into a red-haired little girl?"
"Has anyone taken a screenshot? Please share! I hope kind people can also get the Saintess quests for other races!"
"Wow, I got a screenshot! Kurumi's real form is actually a cute little girl, so adorable! Just like my daughter!"
