YM778.TV Chapter 167 - 7.5
\'Tentacle Treant || Level 60 || Health 100%\'
XuanLake frowned. This Tentacle Treant was a monster native to the Faran Swamp. Although Faran Swamp was not far from the meadow, this monster shouldn\'t spawn here. Since XuanLake was one of the original debuggers, there shouldn\'t be a possibility of bugs around this area.
"BROTHER XUANNN!" Yunyu screamed when the monster swung Yunyu on the air with its giant vines.
[Oh my god, I\'m going to puke for real.]
[Pupa: I mean, it is natural for you to get nauseous. Just vomit it out.]
[Are you joking? If I puke right now, it will look so disgusting, and I can\'t act like I\'m a cute damsel in distress in front of Xuan!]
XuanLake sighed. He wanted to just teleport back to his residence and rest at this point. This cutiepie was not only useless but also attracted unexpected danger. They were not even five minutes in Faran Meadow and already encountered a high-level monster.
But he was also curious about that unknown dungeon. At least, he needed to keep this person alive until he reached the dungeon and used this kid as a sacrificial lamb or something, "I can\'t believe I need to waste my energy for a useless kid."
XuanLake summoned one of his swords and jumped mid-air, "Tornado slash!"
The Tentacle treant started attacking him, but XuanLake spun around like a tornado and cut all the incoming giant vines. He dashed towards Yunyu and cut the vine that trapped him. He caught before safely landed on the ground.
XuanLake suddenly noticed something as he placed Yunyu on the ground safely. He got suspicious again and said;
"Wait here, I need to clear this monster."
The rambunctious roar got louder. It seemed that the treant was angry because it lost its lunch. XuanLake turned his head and disappeared in front of Yunyu.
He reappeared near the mouth of the monster and then slashed the tree bark, "RAAARGHH!"
The tentacle treant tried to kill XuanLake by attacking him with its vines and successfully gripped his body. The monster tightened its grip on XuanLake and swallowed his whole body.
[Meh, Xuan is a pretty strong player, I don\'t think he will die by a low-level monster, right?]
[Pupa: It should be.]
One minute, the monster was still chomping its fresh food.
[He will burst out of the monster\'s stomach and kill it.]
Two minutes, the monster continued swallowing its food.
[Anytime soon…]
Three minutes, the monster seemed to be content and burped.
Yunyu gulped;
[Is he really dead? Like, dead-dead?!]
[Pupa: I still have no notification of XuanLake\'s death. If he is truly dead, then we will need to restart. Maybe that monster is still digesting XuanLake inside, or perhaps he has respawned back to his residence.]
[What the heck!? I have to save him!]
[Pupa: Don\'t! If you use your real ability, it will blow your disguise!]
[But Xuan is literally raw meat inside that thing!]
Yunyu was thinking fast. He was not someone that didn\'t know how to be grateful. Since XuanLake had saved him before, he needed to repay the debt!
Yunyu used his index finger to draw a flame circle in the air, "Give me Brother Xuan back, you evil monster!"
The flame circle started spinning, and eight fireballs circled around with \'BL\' stamped on each ball, "Take this! Burniiingg Mandala!"
The eight balls attacked as a barrage of fireballs. It should be able to burn the monster like a normal attack. But because this was one of Sailor Senshi\'s signature attack, the power got multiplied ten times and…
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM!
Yunyu gawked at the sight of the meadow being obliterated in front of his eyes. One fireball turned into a small nuke whenever it hit something. Not only Yunyu defeated the Tentacle Treant, but he also killed other monsters around.
[Pupa: Congratulations, you destroyed the meadow and ten more high leveled monsters in one attack, the earth is also shaking when each fireball touched the ground and exploded.]
[Pupa: XuanLake is probably a grilled chicken at this point. Maybe he has respawned back in Kain Town, cursing himself for falling into a stupid trap.]
[I… I just don\'t think it will be this crazy…]
Yunyu created rain to extinguish the fire before it went wild. The smoke dissipated slowly, and Yunyu started searching for XuanLake. At least, he should say sorry to the dead XuanLake before he respawned, "Brother Xuan! Brother Xuan, are you still alive?"
Yunyu called XuanLake repeatedly until he saw a man lying on the ground. Surprisingly, his body was still intact, and he was only dirty because of the ashes, "Brother Xuan!"
Yunyu rushed and propped XuanLake, "Oh my god, I\'m so sorry! I didn\'t mean to hurt you!"
No answer.
"Brother Xuan?" Yunyu placed his finger near XuanLake\'s nostril and felt a faint air coming out. XuanLake was still breathing steadily.
[Thank god, he is just unconscious! I\'m pretty sure the shock was too much for him.]
[Pupa: He is level 150 after all, an attack like that would not hurt him.]
[You said that he was probably a grilled chicken a few minutes ago!]
[Pupa:… I just want to scare you, it is one of a kind entertainment.]
[Goddamn it! Why can\'t I have a better system?]
[Pupa: Why can\'t I have a better host?]
Yunyu was disgruntled and decided to just focus on saving XuanLake now.
Yunyu created wings for himself and flew while carrying XuanLake on his arm. He wanted to find the nearest safe place and rest before they continued the journey.
After Yunyu found a suitable spring lake, he landed safely and put XuanLake on the ground. Like a waterbender, Yunyu controlled the lake\'s water and engulfed XuanLake with healing water to clean and heal his wounds.
[Phew, I\'m glad that he is unconscious, though. I am quite surprised that he would lose against that kind of low-level monster. But since he is unconscious, I will lie that a strong player teleported into the statue and defeated the monster. I am just a useless cutiepie, teehee]
\'I see, so he is just pretending,\' XuanLake thought. He was not actually unconscious. He just used the skill \'Pretend death\' to make him look weak and faint inside that monster\'s stomach.
He was actually acting the whole time, waiting for Cutiepie69 to show his true power. He had his suspicion when he saw that Cutiepie was unharmed by the vines.
Any low leveled player would have his skin bruised, even bones crushed against the strong grip of Tentacle Treant. Cutiepie69 was only a level 30 player, but his leg was unharmed after being gripped by that monster.
\'So you want to play pretend with me… interesting…\' XuanLake was finally amused after a long boredom. He had found a new exciting game to play.
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to -10%.]
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to -20%.]
Yunyu was proud of the growth. It turned out, XuanLake was a man with a good conscience.
[Although he is still unconscious, his conscience must have been touched by my kindness! Hm, Hm~ I know I am amazing, no need to praise me, system.]
[Pupa: I\'m not praising you.]
