Chapter 246: The Extraordinary Little Genius
Successfully controlled?
No, the body of this monster is too bulky, and the muddy ground only submerged its two legs below.
Why do I say this… In fact, the Stitch Monster, as the name suggests, has countless limbs on its body.
“Pah…” The boss exerted itself, and one of its knees fell to the ground.
Its entire body sank into the sludge.
Before the players could rejoice, it actually used its extra arms to tear off several obstructed parts!
The torn-off parts piled up together, becoming rocks in the muddy pool.
And the Stitch Monster stepped on this rock, about to leap out of the muddy range! It’s a nimble fat guy!
The three whiteboard players were ashen-faced; they had no choice but to run!
“Sorry!” If they didn’t run now, they would surely die—only those who lived had points, and once dead, they would be out of this event.
“…If we can’t even control this move, then there’s truly no way.”
Vines and frost had already been used on the fierce boss, but in a fit of rage, it became immune to the slow effect and exploded the vines.
“Let me go.” Endless Sea spoke, knowing that someone had to step up to buy them time to kill the boss.
“No way! Your remaining life can’t withstand any attacks!” Shuchen immediately rejected.
“Even if I have to sacrifice my life for time, there’s no time to worry about such things! I’m going!” Saying that, he activated the Guardian Shield and charged straight at the Stitch Monster.
“…” Shuchen opened his mouth and took a breath.
Even though this is a virtual world, letting a companion sacrifice themselves still caused a pang in his heart.
He clearly didn’t need to go this far.
The moment he came into contact with the fleeing players, Endless Sea was enveloped in a layer of poison mist; he had been poisoned!
But he kept his composure, throwing out a taunt just as he was about to touch the boss.
Fortunately, his skill effect didn’t miss, and the Stitch Monster shifted its attack target, looking at the moving knight.
The cooldown time for Frantic Soul is 3 hours, and it had already been used up to protect Starry from damage.
And with the movement speed in normal condition, it was almost a fantasy to engage the boss.
You have to know that their movement speed difference was at least 50%!
This meant that in just 3 seconds, he would be slapped to death by the boss.
Even if he dodged the attack, the plague on him would take his life in a few seconds.
What to do? Was the Charge still on cooldown, would he be caught…?
Would he have to run back to Water City again?…
“Little brother, I’m here to help you!” Sword Fire Burning the Plains shouted loudly, raising his shield against the back of the Stitch Monster!

The damage was too low to see, but it did slightly change the boss’s attack trajectory. Endless Sea instinctively lowered his head and rolled,
A miss floated out from his previous position!
“Whoo—whoo—whoo! Uncle, your face is so green!” The knight, who barely escaped, panted heavily and spoke to the nearby “Zombie.”
“Damn! Is this the time for jokes? And you’re not doing any better than me, right?!” Sword Fire Burning the Plains scolded.
“Hahaha, no, I can’t withstand the plague, I’ll run over in a bit.”
Endless Sea laughed, pointing at his health bar that was barely above 300.
While removing equipment could prevent the plague, it would also result in losing the movement speed bonus from the gear, which would surely allow the boss to catch up at such close range.
It was a deadlock.
“…Sword Fire Burning the Plains was in shock; his condition was just as dire, and when the boss turned around, it would be time for them to return to town.
‘You little brat, it’s all your fault for pretending to be a hero, and now I’m all pumped up!’ Uncle even began to complain.
‘Can you blame me? I was just buying time!’
‘Damn it, you didn’t mention that! I still have a big guild waiting for me to command!’
‘Hahaha… Endless Sea scratched his head, “Anyway, since you’re here, let’s run together later, at least I’ll have company on the way.”
‘I have a wife and kids… be careful with your words.’
‘Get lost, I meant let’s hurry!’
‘Eh——！！！ Seeing the two joking around, the boss became angry; how dare they ignore it and talk about love?’
Hey!

Suddenly, a holy light illuminated the entire underground space, and a healing chain hit Endless Sea first, then bounced to Sword Fire Burning the Plains.
While healing them, it also generated two Cold Crystal Shields!
The expected death did not come, and both retained around 800 health.
This feeling is… “Wencheng!”
“Yes, it’s me! You two retreat quickly!” Wencheng urgently urged as he looked at the two motionless.
Although the skill was instant cast, the healing chain had a follow-up action, and it could not heal as quickly as a machine gun.
Since mom has arrived, there’s naturally no need for a head-on fight, and the two knights turned to run, fearing they might be hit again.
“What about others? Didn’t you go to slay the dragon?” Endless Sea did not forget to ask while running.
“…Nangong won’t let me say.” Wencheng said thoughtfully.
“Ah, what’s the big deal, even if you say it, he won’t know.”
“Then… I’ll say it, just don’t let them know.”
“Go ahead, go ahead! Do you still not understand what kind of person I am?” He patted his chest, looking like a righteous person.
“Actually…”
He pulled out a hemp rope and called out, “Brother Shiu! Come here and help me!”
“Not free, I’m on my way to slay a dragon!”
“…With all due respect, you’d just be a denominator if you go.” Return to Earth glanced at Brother Shiu.
“Whatever, it’s all about participating.” If it were normal times, Brother Shiu would definitely compete with this guy to make him know what it meant to be the top mage in the fourth server, but now he couldn’t be bothered to waste time with him.
“Wait! I have a way to get you down; I need your help with a little task.”
“Down? What way? Is it reliable?” Brother Shiu’s eyes lit up. If he could truly get down quickly, then helping pick up dust wouldn’t be a problem.
“Hehe, you have friends below, right? Let me tell you, I’m a level 4 engineer; I can…”
“Get to the point.”
“…Cough cough, don’t be anxious, I have a durable hemp rope, 50 yards long; as long as it’s fixed on top… Hey, don’t go, listen to me explain!” Return to Earth saw Brother Shiu turn to leave without stopping.
Nonsense, was this really a good way? Wasn’t it the same as what he thought it was?
“This rope has high elasticity! As long as it’s fixed, you can just grab it and slide down without a problem!”
“…Really?” Brother Shiu hesitated.
“Brother Shiu, is this really reliable?” Nangong shook the middle of the rope a couple of times.
“It must be reliable; I usually use it for equipment.” Return to Earth affirmed.
“…Nangong cast a doubtful glance, “How about… we let someone else go first?”
“Who’s going first?”
“…The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
A minute later, Wencheng stepped up, “How about… I go down first; if I remember correctly, there shouldn’t be any priests below.”
“How can that be appropriate…?” Nangong hesitated, but secretly sighed in relief; looking at this death height, just one glance was enough to make him want to faint.
“Let me do it; there’s not much time left.” Wencheng was quite firm.
“Wencheng, good luck!” The ethereal girl folded her arms to encourage him.
“Baby, if you’re scared, think of your father… Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” Jiangxia hadn’t finished speaking when his head got a bump.
The descent process went smoothly, very smoothly, just as Return to Earth said, the quality was excellent.
Wencheng slid to the bottom and sent a “All good” message.
“Alright! Let’s show you the courage of a man now.” Nangong was stimulated and actually briefly overcame his fear of heights.
“Oh.” The Traveler looked indifferent.
“Quickly go down, why so many words.” Brother Shiu complained.
“You guys just don’t know how to be human, can’t you learn from girls… Really,” Nangong shook his head and then grabbed the rope, slowly sticking to the wall.
Bang.
“…I think I heard something abnormal?” Nangong froze.
“What?” Brother Shiu asked.
“Nothing… I must have misheard.” After he finished speaking, he let go of his entire body.
Uh…
The thick hemp rope suddenly snapped in midair!
Nangong’s face turned pale, flailing his hands and feet and even executing a complete dive action in the air!
Crash!
-7598
His head fell straight to the ground, dead.
Okay, here we go: Before the fight with the boss even started, he jumped off the cliff to commit suicide!
“Hahahahahaha, Nangong, you are an extraordinary little genius!!!”
Endless Sea rushed to the adventure group channel to show off.
