[ Ding, experience +30 ] [ lv4(50/400 ]
The Flying Head Gu moved swiftly. In barely two minutes, Keno's burly body rapidly withered, and his once vigorous howls grew weaker and weaker as his blood drained away.
With its intelligence, it probably could not understand where these nine monsters had come from. That regret followed its fading consciousness into hell.
Once Keno had completely become a dried corpse, the Flying Head Gu slowly released its bite and circled in the air. As Cao Xiaochun's experience increased, the corpse gradually turned to ash, leaving behind only a bone-made ring and a bead wrapped in electric currents.
Cao Xiaochun quickly jumped down from Xiao Qiang, picked up Keno's drops, and weighed them carefully in his hand. A stream of data appeared before his eyes.
[Black Bone Ring] (Storage Type, Black Iron Grade)
The ring came with two cubic meters of storage space and could store items.
[Thunder Pearl] (Attack Type, Black Iron Grade) Could summon a bolt of lightning to attack an enemy. Cooldown: two hours.
He had not expected this little lord to drop spatial equipment. It was quite beyond Cao Xiaochun's expectations.
In a dungeon, every monster killed had a chance of dropping equipment. The higher the monster's level, the greater the chance of a drop.
These pieces of equipment came in all kinds. They could be weapons, armor, or items with special properties.
Take the two items Keno had dropped, for example. One was spatial storage equipment, and such items were usually the most valuable. Though the Black Bone Ring only had two cubic meters of space, it would still cost several million on the open market.
As for the Thunder Pearl, it gave him another means of attack. Though its cooldown was rather long, used well, it could achieve some unexpected effects.
Cao Xiaochun was very satisfied with this haul. After putting on the Black Bone Ring and stuffing all his belongings into it, he climbed back onto Xiao Qiang and continued exploring in the direction he had originally chosen.
After walking for nearly another two hours, Cao Xiaochun noticed that the monsters in the area were becoming more numerous, and abnormally so. In just two hours, his experience bar had already filled again.
He had even encountered two more Kenos along the way! Although neither had dropped any equipment, this oddity made Cao Xiaochun increasingly cautious.
"Could the supreme overlord of Dark Forest be around here?"
After smashing the claws of eight Darknight Cat Demons, Cao Xiaochun recalled the Gu insects still wreaking havoc nearby. The change in the environment made him more vigilant as well. In a dungeon, even the slightest relaxation could bring him serious trouble.
Just as Cao Xiaochun was considering whether to send some of the Gu insects to scout several kilometers around for anything unusual, a wave of scorching heat suddenly rushed out from the dense forest ahead!
Frightened cries followed immediately after!
"What is going on?! We clearly chose the outskirts of Dark Forest. How did we run into the Binuoxiu sisters?!"
"How could they, at lv18, appear here?!"
"Miss, run! Hide and use the coordinate teleporter! We'll cover you!"
"Binuoxiu? The highest lord near Dark Forest?"
Hearing the big man's shout, Cao Xiaochun frowned deeply. As the lords of Dark Forest, their range of activity should not have included this place. Why had these two sisters appeared here?
But if someone could still struggle under their attacks, then if both sides ended up badly hurt, perhaps I could pick up the spoils?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Driven by curiosity and that opportunistic mindset, Cao Xiaochun recalled Xiao Qiang and cautiously made his way alone toward the source of the sounds.
Soon, Cao Xiaochun pushed aside the grass in front of him. Under the destruction of frost and fire magic, a clearing had been opened here. Two girls, one red and one blue, floated in the air and continuously cast spells, ice cones and flames hammering heavily against the protective barrier on the ground!
The sisters held staffs in their hands, their features exceptionally delicate and their figures perfectly proportioned. The short animal hides on their bodies could not conceal their sexiness at all. Without using Appraisal, no one would have believed these two sisters were actually dungeon monsters.
[Binuoxiu lv18] (Bronze Grade) (Upgradeable) [Herak lv18] (Bronze Grade) (Upgradeable) Strength: 120 Agility: 135 Spirit: 140 [Introduction] Clever and lively human mage sisters, each proficient in frost and fire magic. They were known respectively as Flame Binuoxiu and Frost Kelahe.
Originally blessed with bright futures, they ignored their master's warnings and entered Dark Forest on their own. Trapped within a barrier created by elves, they lost their way and eventually went mad, beginning to attack humans.
Later, after that devastating disaster, no one ever saw them again.
Seeing the sisters' descriptions and attributes, a fiery gleam flashed through Cao Xiaochun's eyes. These two sisters were perfect materials for raising Gu, especially with their Upgradeable attribute. If he succeeded, he would gain two powerful helpers!
However, he was only level 4, far below them. Even with the Flying Head Gu and Xiao Qiang helping him, defeating them would not be easy. More importantly, he did not have any Gu insects capable of controlling them.
At this thought, Cao Xiaochun's eyelid twitched. He quickly opened the system shop, and after carefully reading the description of the Slave Gu, his expression immediately darkened.
Was this system doing it on purpose? It knew exactly what I lacked, so it put it up for sale just to drain every last bit of my hard-earned money?
Looking at the sisters' backs in the sky, Cao Xiaochun gritted his teeth. Opportunities vanished in an instant. Since there was now a chance to make it work, he did not mind taking a gamble!
Soon, three firefly-like insects appeared in Cao Xiaochun's hand.
The effect of the Slave Gu was simple: the more severely injured and muddled the target's consciousness, the higher the chance of success. Looking at how energetic the sisters were now, success was absolutely impossible.
Therefore, Cao Xiaochun decided to wait and observe, striking only when the right opportunity appeared. The best way to keep them alive while robbing them of their ability to act was poison!
With that in mind, Cao Xiaochun slowly retreated. Once he confirmed it was safe, he summoned Xiao Qiang again. Xiao Qiang was too large for a sneak attack, so he still chose to use the Flying Head Gu.
Under Cao Xiaochun's command, phantoms of the Five Poisons spewed from Xiao Qiang's mouth and were rapidly absorbed by the nine Flying Head Gu, coiling around their sharp fangs. As long as Binuoxiu was bitten once, the Five Poison's tyranny would make the sisters lose consciousness instantly!
After making all the preparations, Cao Xiaochun let out a heavy breath. These two Upgradeable lords were his now!
