Unexpected Gains (2)
"In the game, the only way to wake up from being hypnotized by a monster is to be attacked by it. But this is not a game. Even a single hit from this kind of monster will definitely kill you." Li Wei's eyelids were barely open, but his mind was racing as he considered a solution.
"However, pain is still the best way to suppress hypnosis, but I just bit my tongue and it still didn't work. Could it be that the pain wasn't intense enough?" Thinking of this, Li Wei used his last bit of strength to slash his arm hard with the Colossus.
Instantly, a spray of blood rose into the air.
The intense pain traveled through his nerves to his brain, and Li Wei regained some consciousness. He then saw that the Chameleos's claws were already slamming down on him.
"Hmph, don't even think about it." Li Wei gripped his greatsword tightly and activated Shifting Forms and Changing Positions the instant the claw struck him.
This time, however, Li Wei did not move outside the cave, but instead went to the top of Chameleos's head.
Li Wei raised the greatsword high in his hand, his target being one of the Chameleos's eyes. This time, the Colossus was not bounced back, but instead plunged deep into the eye.
With a soft puff, purple slime spurted out.
The severely Chameleos roared loudly, trying to escape to the cave, but the entrance had already been sealed off, thwarting its plans.
Li Wei, however, pressed his advantage and continued to wield his greatsword, blinding Chameleos in the other eye as well.
The Chameleos's tongue struck like lightning. This time, Li Wei couldn't dodge and was slammed against the wall before crashing heavily to the ground.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but Li Wei revealed a slight smile.
The hypnotic effect of the Chameleos had lessened considerably; it seemed that pain was indeed the best medicine for eliminating fatigue. Although his body had been severely injured, fortunately, the armor he was wearing was no longer the Hunter Armor, but rather the Rathian armor, which naturally increased his defense several times over. Even though the Chameleos's attacks were extremely powerful, they could only injure Li Wei to some extent.
Seeing that the Chameleos was about to open its mouth to attack with its tongue, Li Wei directly unleashed a Finger Thunder, striking the Chameleos's tongue. Without the protection of its dragon armor, this attack was clearly effective.
But Li Wei's attack was not over yet.
Li Wei used the "Blood Control Method"Blood Control Method directly on Chameleos's tongue, simply to delay the time it would take for it to retract its tongue.
This short period of time was crucial for Li Wei.
With lightning speed, Li Wei darted out and slashed down with his greatsword at Chameleos's tongue, which it couldn't retract in time.
With a soft 'splatter', the Chameleos's greatest weapon, its long tongue, was severed in two. A large amount of blood gushed from the wound.
At that moment, it seemed that fate was on Li Wei's side. Suddenly, Chameleos staggered.
"What's wrong with it?" Li Wei asked, puzzled.
Soon, the Chameleos's movements became somewhat slow; whether it was swinging its claws or moving, it became noticeably sluggish, as if it had been drinking.
"That's right, it's the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder!" Li Wei suddenly realized. He hadn't expected the poison to still work, even though it had been suppressed within Chameleos's body at first. After Li Wei severely injured it, he could no longer suppress it, and the effects of the medicine surged out, naturally causing Chameleos to be affected.
Now, nothing could stop Li Wei anymore.
Bao Ling, standing outside the cave, stared in terror at the blocked entrance, wondering whether she should break through the Earth and Stone Barrier to go inside. At that moment, she had placed a sliver of concern on Li Wei, and the thought that Li Wei might die tormented her heart.
"No, that Chameleos is an ancient dragon species. Although Li Wei is powerful, he may not be able to defeat it." Finding a reason for herself, the beautiful woman with Devil figure took out her longsword, preparing to split open the stone seal.
At that moment, the Earth and Stone Barrier suddenly trembled, and then countless cracks appeared on it.
"What is this?" Bao Ling exclaimed in surprise, gripping the longsword even tighter.
She didn't know whether it would be Li Wei or Chameleos who came out later.
If it were Chameleos, Bao Ling was determined to fight this monster to the death to avenge Li Wei. Even if she couldn't kill it, she would just go and join Li Wei.
There was another tremor, and the Earth and Stone Barrier collapsed completely. Li Wei, covered in blood, walked out of the cave.
"Li Wei, are you alright?" Upon seeing Li Wei, Bao Ling quickly dropped her longsword and rushed over.
At this moment, Li Wei had a large wound on his arm, which was stained red, and his Rathian armor was also damaged. The continuous battles were taking their toll, even for someone with the Sky Fox physique. Fortunately, he finally managed to kill the Chameleos and harvest valuable materials.
At this moment, the pain could no longer suppress his drowsiness. Upon seeing Bao Ling, Li Wei tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day was another sunny day. The reincarnators, who had rested all night in the Hunter Village, donned their armor once more, shouldered their weapons, and headed for the hunting grounds. Perhaps some would still die today, but for survival, they had to be on their guard and fight the powerful monsters.
At the table in the meeting place, the High Wizard and Liu Yuchen sat on either side of each other, with two sets of armor and weapons laid out on their table.
"We already conducted the test yesterday, and with the testimonies of other reincarnators, it has been confirmed that the weapons and armor in this world are the hope for completing the final hunting mission. These armors have super strong defensive capabilities and are the best defensive armor I have ever experienced in all the missions." Liu Yuchen took a gauntlet made of dragon bone and metal from the table and tried to bend it, but the gauntlet did not deform at all.
The great wizard knew very well that Liu Yuchen's power was extremely strong; the armor that even he couldn't overcome demonstrated its formidable defensive capabilities.
"So, does that mean that the higher the level of armor and weapons one has, the higher the success rate of hunting Tigrex?" The high wizard, who was not good at close combat, looked at the weapons laid out on the table with a somewhat grim expression.
"That's basically it. However, your advanced magic can still damage monsters, so you don't need these weapons, but you must wear proper armor. Otherwise, a single hit from a monster will be enough to kill you."
"I understand." The high wizard knew he couldn't risk his life, so he chose a set of armor and put it on.
"By the way, where are the Daoist and the others? Do you know what they're doing?" As if remembering something, the great shaman looked up and asked.
"I don't know, he's probably collecting materials to make equipment, Wizard. You need to be careful. That Li Wei... Although you seem very friendly on the surface, anyone with eyes can see through your intentions. In this mission, we all have the same goal, so let's put aside our past grudges for now and focus on the mission," Liu Yuchen reminded him.
The great wizard remained silent, but if one observed closely, one would notice a slight smirk playing on his lips.
Staring at Liu Yuchen's face, the great wizard secretly thought, "I'd rather kill you than Li Wei."
However, this seemingly A1-level reincarnator was actually hiding his power. In fact, the great wizard thought that the other party might not be a reincarnator at all, because he had never seen the other party take out the Yellow Paper.
This was purely a gut feeling, so in his heart, this mysterious Liu Yuchen was even more dangerous than Li Wei, and if given the chance, he would definitely get rid of him.
The thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and then the great wizard closed his eyes again, beginning his magical meditation.
At that moment, Li Wei slowly awoke in the cave.
Li Wei slept very well; he hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. Shaking his head, he realized he was still in the same cave as last night, but the collapsed rocks had obviously been cleared away.
"It's Bao Ling," Li Wei thought of the woman.
Last night, our skin touched, like a dream. If Chameleos hadn't interfered, who knows what might have happened.
So, where has she gone now?
As Li Wei got up from the ground, he found that his armor was neatly arranged on the rocks next to him, along with some washed berries and even some roasted meat on a green banana leaf.
Was this prepared by Bao Ling for herself?
Li Wei was indeed quite hungry at this point, so he didn't stand on ceremony and grabbed some berries and roasted meat to eat heartily. The food in this mission world was truly amazing; after this meal, Li Wei felt refreshed and his fatigue seemed to have lessened considerably thanks to the delicious flavors.
Just then, a light footstep came from behind. Li Wei turned around and saw Bao Ling.
In her hand was a plant that resembled a coconut, which she had somehow obtained. When she saw Li Wei wake up, she was first taken aback, then her face flushed slightly.
"You must be thirsty after sleeping all night. This big coconut is really delicious, you should try it." With that, he cracked open the shell of a coconut and handed it to Li Wei.
This girl seems to be getting more and more womanly.
Li Wei had no idea what the other person was thinking, but he was genuinely thirsty at the moment, so he took the coconut and drank it down.
Later, Li Wei told Bao Ling about Sharp Axe's accident. He originally thought the woman would cry her heart out, but to his surprise, she only looked a little sad and didn't seem particularly heartbroken.
"Since entering Shadow Street a year ago, I've witnessed too much death. At first, I hated myself for not being able to protect my friends, but in the end, I realized I had done my best. If I only dwell on grief, it would be better to end it all."
This sentence greatly changed Li Wei's perception of Bao Ling. Thinking about it, it makes sense. If you keep wallowing in self-blame and sadness, you'll only end up hurting yourself. At least these monsters won't pity you, and neither will your enemies.
