[Strength evaluation: The leader of the Sludge Monsters. It has stronger attack power and physical resistance. Although its huge body makes him heavier, it also brings him it higher constitution.]

Roar!

After the Furious Scale Sludge Monster in the river appeared, it did not stop at all. It directly charged toward Lin Xiu and the others with heavy steps.

Under the attack power of the Raging Tide, the bodies of the Sludge Monsters by the river became larger.

As if encouraged by their leader, the Sludge Monsters that were unable to get ashore climbed up one after another.

For a moment, the three of them were in a dangerous situation again.

“Withdraw! We are no match for this Elite Sludge Monster!”

When Wan Zhuoyun saw the Sludge Monsters coming ashore and rushing towards them, he immediately shouted nervously. Then, he issued a request to disband in the party, intending to leave the instance immediately!

However, when the invitation appeared on the team communication list, he was immediately rejected by two votes.

The sudden change caused Wan Zhuoyun to be stunned, unable to react in time.

“Don’t worry, the situation isn’t too bad. At least we weren’t attacked by the Jade Guardians!” Ding Shiyu said calmly as she retreated. She was completely different from her nervous expression earlier.

“Hmm? This isn’t bad. Do you have a way to deal with these Sludge Monsters?” Lin Xiu was also a little surprised. Ding Shiyu’s condition earlier was not like this.

When she was in the river, just those ordinary Sludge Monsters made her so nervous that her face turned pale.

However, now that the Sludge Monster Boss had appeared, she became much calmer.

Her behavior was a little strange.

In the dark and damp cave, the three of them kept retreating and had already arrived at the entrance.

At this moment, the Sludge Monsters were still approaching. The largest one had its bloody mouth wide open, as if it had already treated the three of them as food.

In such an emergency, Wan Zhuoyun’s entire body could not help but tremble. The hand holding the big sword also could not help but turn soft.

The Boss Sludge Monster’s attack power was too high. With his body, he would die after six or seven hits at most.

As for the other two players in the cave, their HP was around 200 points. They would probably die even more miserably. He really could not understand why Ding Shiyu would reject the invitation to disband the team.

Although the Boss that appeared in front of them was very beneficial to their plan, they would also be in danger.

In his view, Lin Xiu could be eliminated at any time. There was no need to put himself in danger for this kind of person.

If it really did not work, he could still get the people in the clan to secretly attack Lin Xiu after he left. This would also be able to resolve him.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. He could only send an invitation to disband the team once every 30 seconds. This amount of time was enough for the Sludge Monsters to tear them apart!

Just when Wan Zhuoyun felt that everything was hopeless and was about to die here…

Ding Shiyu, who was already near the cave wall and had nowhere to retreat, suddenly had something wrapped in gray cloth in her hand. Her face was filled with an inexplicable smile, and there was even a hint of madness in the depths of her eyes.

“Although I can’t deal with the monster in front of me, I have other ways to protect myself. It’s precisely because of this layer of protection that I can calm down.”

Looking at Lin Xiu who had retreated to the side, Ding Shiyu said with a sinister expression with a smile on her lips.

After saying that, she did not wait for Lin Xiu to react and immediately threw the thing in her hand over to him.

Lin Xiu’s heart had long since raised vigilance, knowing that the other party was very likely to attack him at such a dangerous time. Therefore, when Ding Shiyu moved, he was already prepared to dodge.

With light footsteps, Lin Xiu flashed to the side. To be on the safe side, he even swung his axe, planning to knock that unknown thing flying.

However, just as the axe blade in his hand touched the gray cloth bag, and before it could be sent flying, the cloth bag suddenly shattered, and blood-red liquid instantly splattered in all directions.

How could Lin Xiu have expected such a thing to happen? For a moment, he could not dodge in time, and his arm was immediately splashed with quite a bit of red liquid. [Hint: Due to being contaminated with blood essence, you have obtained the negative status ‘Fatal Attraction’.]

[Fatal Attraction Buff: The blood essence on your body is extremely attractive to monsters within a 100-meter radius. Monsters will not attack other players before they eat you. The effect lasts for 240 seconds.] Staring at the status bar in the lower left corner, a negative effect called Fatal Attraction suddenly appeared.

Even if Lin Xiu did not have the brains to think, he knew that before entering the dungeon, the two had already formulated a plan to target him.

However, what Lin Xiu did not expect was that the other party’s scheme was actually so unique, actually planning to use the monster’s hand to destroy him!

There was not much time left to think. When Lin Xiu understood the debuff effect on his body, the surrounding Sludge Monsters had already undergone subtle changes.

The monsters all looked at him, ignoring the other two people not far away.

Meanwhile, the Boss that was surrounded by the Sludge Monsters seemed to have seen the most delicious food in the world as it rushed toward him crazily.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The huge body of the Boss shook, causing the entire ground to shake.

It was like a mad bull in the arena, charging at him with a speed that was comparable to an ordinary person’s running speed!

“Looks like this monster is not interested in the two of us. Next, we’ll be relying on you, Lin Xiu. Don’t disappoint us.”

Seeing that the Blood Essence Potion had taken effect, a smug smile immediately appeared on Ding Shiyu’s face.

She gently shook the staff in her hand, still pretending not to know anything, cheering for Lin Xiu.

Wan Zhuoyun, who was standing at the side, saw that the monster had already entered a berserk state, and that Lin Xiu was its only target, and could not be happier. Looking at Lin Xiu’s ugly expression, Wan Zhuoyun finally held his head high and let out a sigh of relief.

“Don’t even think about running away. The space here is not big. The entrance has been sealed. If you’re a man, fight it head-on!” Wan Zhuoyun pointed at the small mountain of stones at the entrance of the cave and said with a laugh.
