With a face full of disbelief, Ding Shiyu was not sure if Lin Xiu and Wan Zhuoyun had made some kind of contract, or if the other party really only saved her out of humanity.
However, no matter what, the other party had indeed saved her from danger.
Ding Shiyu had mixed feelings in her heart. After she squeezed out the word 'thank you' through her teeth, she did not say anything else.
"Step back. I'll deal with this Boss."
Lin Xiu did not notice the change in Ding Shiyu's expression at all. After he finished speaking, he directly walked toward the Sludge Monster Boss.
He crushed the small MP Potion and allowed the blue light to enter his body.
A wave of ice-cold pleasure came over. Lin Xiu's spirit shook, his entire body already recovering to its peak!
"No wonder the price of a potion is so expensive. It seems that the effect is indeed good."
Glancing at the mana bar on the interface that had been fully recovered, Lin Xiu immediately chanted the Fireball Spell and began the battle with the Boss!
A scorching and dazzling fireball appeared in the air. Lin Xiu's footsteps were steady as he walked in front of the Sludge Monster Boss.
Roar!
When enemies met, their eyes turned red. After the Boss saw Lin Xiu, it immediately recalled the bad memories from before. It used the wave skill again, and the remaining eight Sludge Monsters rushed toward Lin Xiu.
"Go to hell!"
Lin Xiu did not hesitate at all, directly throwing out the completed fireball.
The fireball was like a shooting star that streaked across the Milky Way. After forming a perfect parabola, it smashed toward those smooth creatures.
Rumble!
The heat wave that spread in all directions instantly lit up the entire cave. The huge impact caused a huge pit that was more than ten centimeters deep to be smashed into the ground.
The Sludge Monsters in the target area screamed in pain as they were charred black!
Although Fireball's damage was not high, after deducting Magic Resistance, it only dealt 50 points of damage on the interface. However, the burning effect of Fireball also had a high damage output on the Sludge Monsters.
An ordinary Sludge Monster only had 320 HP.
In the previous battle between Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun, the health of those Sludge Monsters had already been reduced.
At this moment, under Lin Xiu's ranged Fireball attacks, many of the Sludge Monsters' HP had been reduced to around one-third.
The burning wall of fire even blocked those monsters more than ten meters away. Facing Lin Xiu's attack, they could only scream in anger.
Inside the spacious and dark cave, Lin Xiu relied on his extremely high movement speed to circle around those Sludge Monsters.
He kept releasing fireballs to ensure that the monster's HP was depleted while maintaining a distance of 20 meters from the Boss to maintain the aggro.
Flames filled the sky, and miserable screams continued.
Under the high temperature, the water in the bodies of the Sludge Monsters disappeared and they were burned into a pile of white ashes.
The Boss's HP had also dropped to around 200 points.
Wan Zhuoyun watched as Lin Xiu continuously shuttled through the monster horde without suffering any damage.
The corner of Wan Zhuoyun's mouth was stained with blood, and his expression was filled with jealousy and hatred.
He was a little unwilling. The other party had taken all the limelight in this Catacombs adventure.
He hated it very much. Because of Lin Xiu's obstruction in the dark, his image in Ding Shiyu's eyes had fallen to the point where he could only negotiate with Lin Xiu to escape from danger.
In comparison, the hatred Ding Shiyu had for Lin Xiu in her heart was much lessened.
Her emotions were complicated, and there was a hint of regret in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
From time to time, some unrealistic thoughts would appear in her mind.
If only six years ago, the one who went missing was not Lin Xiu's father, but Wan Zhuoyun's father.
If the Wan Family was the one that was declining, she might be even happier now!
Lin Xiu's handsome back, which was constantly releasing fireballs accurately, was reflected in her eyes.
However, in the end, Ding Shiyu's rational thinking took over again, allowing her to gradually calm down.
There was no turning back now.
Instead of regretting the past, it was better to seize the present.
No matter what, Lin Xiu had to die. Whether or not he could threaten the two families' position in Linyue City, the result would be the same.
Rather than sympathizing with a dead person, she might as well take this opportunity to comfort Wan Zhuoyun and make the relationship between the two families even closer, thus solidifying her position in the Ding Family.
After thinking it through, Ding Shiyu walked to Wan Zhuoyun's side and asked about his injuries with concern.
At the same time, the battle between Lin Xiu and the Furious Scale Sludge Monster also reached a white-hot state.
When its HP fell below 10 percent, the Boss became even more crazed.
Its attacks became faster and faster. The remaining two Sludge Monsters were also constantly cooperating to create opportunities for their leader.
However, Lin Xiu had already recovered. Furthermore, through the previous battle, he had a sufficient understanding of the Boss's attack patterns.
Usually, as long as the Boss raised its hand, he would know what skill it was about to use.
Therefore, the outcome of the battle was beyond doubt. The only thing missing was time.
After dodging the incoming punch with a double jump, Lin Xiu turned around in the air and instantly activated the Fireball Spell that he had already condensed!
Flames flickered, and the violent impact shook the entire cave.
A hysterical scream rang out, signifying the death of a Boss.
A white light lit up, and the fat body of the Sludge Monster Boss instantly disappeared.
In its place were a few glowing materials and equipment.
After casually dealing with the other two, Lin Xiu immediately walked forward and picked up the glittering dropped items.
[Hint: You have obtained the Bronze equipment, Hand of Furious Scales. You have obtained the forging material Corrosive Slime, the forging material Furious Eye, 7 gold coins, and the strengthening material, Bronze Cone Stone.]
[Hint: Respected Class, you have leveled up to level 4 and obtained one free attribute point.]
Two System notifications flashed by his ears. Lin Xiu only felt his entire body become light, and his body continuously used strength.
"I've finally reached Level 4. I should be able to learn new skills now."
Feeling the surging power in his body, Lin Xiu was very happy in his heart.
He immediately opened his Backpack and found the remaining 11 skill books he had bought in the trading market.
Most of these skill books had a level limit. Only one of them was emitting a dull light. Clearly, Lin Xiu had already met the learning requirements.
Gently touching the System panel, Lin Xiu pressed the 'learn' button without hesitation.
He had carefully selected these skill books before purchasing them. Not only did they suit his combat style, but their effects were also very powerful.
[Hint: You have learned the basic Mage skill -- Mana Siphon]
[Level 2 Mana Siphon: Absorbs a portion of the enemy's mana. The amount of mana absorbed is 1.8 MP. The minimum value is 10 points and the maximum value is 100 points. Cooldown: 120 seconds]
Looking at the skill description in front of him, Lin Xiu was quite excited.
