Chapter 899: Inside and Outside the Kitchen
Woof~Woof~Woof~
A series of sharp, frequent, and cheerful dog barks…rang out in the depressing and terrifying atmosphere of the temple, creating an indescribable sense of disharmony.
This Chihuahua (although the breed summoned each time is random, the appearance of this super small dog is probably due to "skill restrictions") is naturally not out of thin air, but was summoned by Xiao Tan using [Summoning Technique - Puppy].
As a very basic summoning skill, the summoned creature it creates certainly does not have too high intelligence or combat power. However, in this scenario where you may encounter "open door killing" at any time, letting the puppy "step on the thunder" is undoubtedly a very smart strategy.
At the moment, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling used this Chihuahua to quickly explore the Tianwang Hall, Luohan Hall and the west side hall of Liuhe Temple. They did not conduct a very detailed search, but only determined whether there were any instant death incidents or monsters in these three places.
Their plan is... to explore as many places as possible before the duration of the summoned creature (8 minutes) ends, and then go back to carefully investigate again after the puppy disappears.
Unfortunately, because the script weakened the effect of active skills, the puppy disappeared before eight minutes... Even though the two of them had been racing against time, they still only explored three areas.
Before the Chihuahua disappeared, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling just came to the vicinity of the kitchen...
"Eh? Did you smell it?" Xiao Tan's sense of smell was quite sensitive, and he could smell the smell coming from the house from a few dozen meters away from the kitchen.
"Compared to the smell..." Xiao Ling replied, and raised her hand and pointed to the high place, "The smoke coming out of the chimney is easier to detect, right?"
"Well... In this case, there is still the leisure to light a fire and cook in the kitchen..." Wang Tanzhi shook his head and muttered, "Could it be... Brother Jue?"
"You think..." Xiao Ling complained at the right time, "Except for the leader, no one else can do this kind of thing, right..." As she said that, she took out a bottle of red wine from her bag. "Anyway... I'll put a bat in and find out."
Before she finished speaking, she activated her only summoning skill...
[Name: Summoning - Vampire Bat]
[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanent Mastery]
[Skill Category: Summoning]
[Effect: Summon a vampire bat to fight for you (Cooling time 20 minutes, existence time 5 minutes, at most 1 vampire bat exists at the same time)]
[Consumption: Spiritual Power 2, at least 50 ml of red wine]
[Learning Conditions: Level 10, after learning, summoning expertise will be enabled]
[Note: Its attack may not cause too much damage, but it is enough to leave wounds on the target; its innate ultrasonic ability gives it a very good evasion ability, and it is not easy to hit it regardless of flying props or direct attacks; it should be noted that... if it leaves your field of vision and does not receive clear instructions for the time being. Then it will actively attack the warm-blooded animal closest to it. ]
Like Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling also learned this skill in order to enable summoning expertise and brush up on the proficiency of expertise. However... although both are basic summoning skills, Xiao Ling's summoned creatures are stronger than Xiao Tan's, because her skill requires the use of a rather expensive consumable like [Red Wine] to activate, unlike Xiao Tan who can buy a [Dog Whistle] and summon as many times as he wants.
"But... you let the bat fly in through the window and bite randomly, we still don't know who is in the house?" Xiao Tan asked.
"Stupid~" Xiao Ling knocked on Xiao Tan's head, "Bats can't recognize people, can people recognize bats?"
"Oh! That's right!" Xiao Tan realized it after being reminded by the other party. "Brother Jue recognizes your summoned creatures. If it's him in the house, he will naturally respond to us." He paused, "And if it's someone else in the house... this bat may be able to lure the snake out of the hole."
"That's right." Xiao Ling responded. "So..." As she read, she directed the big brown bat to fly to the kitchen window.
At this time, the window was undoubtedly open. After all, it is impossible to install exhaust fans or range hoods in such ancient buildings, even if there is a chimney. It is easy to die if you cook with the window closed.
Pah, pah, pah, pah...
Although it is a low-level summoned creature, the flying speed of the vampire bat is quite fast, but its flying movement is a little loud, and the sound of flapping wings is more obvious.
About seven or eight seconds passed. The summoned creature flew into the kitchen.
Then, it never came out again...
…………
At the same time, inside the kitchen.
"Huh... I was wondering how there would be such ingredients that were automatically delivered to the door..." Oink looked at the bat that was crushed in his hand and quickly turned into white light, and sneered and said, "So it's a summoned creature..."
When he heard the four words "summoned creature", [Non-mouth King] squatting in the corner had his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a glimmer of hope again, surrounded by fear and despair.
Speaking of which... this classmate who had successfully fought with [Zuiwochangran] to death in the S2 preliminaries was also considered an elite among the younger generation of Corpse Knife. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the Corpse Knife version of Tuntian Guixiao, but... in this script, he was in an extremely miserable state after stopping taking the medicine.
At the beginning of the script, Feikouweiwang became the only player who was directly teleported to the interior of Liuhe Temple. This kind of situation... if handled well, it is an advantage, but if not handled well, it will be quite bad. Feikouweiwang's situation is obviously the latter... in less than a minute, he accidentally triggered a boss-level battle event.
Compared with the "woman in red" encountered by Xiaotan and his friends, the little boss that Feikouweiwang encountered can be described as "difficult to look at"...
In terms of appearance, he has a head of black messy hair that is not long or straight, a withered and sallow face, and a look of worrying about the country and the people... It is unforgettable.
In terms of body shape, he has a torso of adult human size and limbs of hobbit specifications; if the hunchback is a manifestation of his humility, then the three characteristics of a needle-thin throat, a big mouth, and a belly as big as a mountain... undoubtedly represent his attitude towards life.
In terms of clothing, his bare upper body and bare feet were covered with blood, dirt and feces (probably). This unrepeatable, performance-art-like way of decoration was simple, but not simplistic, high-end, but not high-profile. A pair of shorts made of grass, bark and rattan around his waist showed his unruly personality and wildness that was difficult to conceal, giving people a sense of oppression that made them want to kneel in front of him without the courage to raise their heads and open their eyes.
In summary, this guy is basically a demonized version of a deformed primitive man.
But we all understand one thing - it is wrong to judge people (weird) by their appearance. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that... there is actually no direct correlation between combat effectiveness and appearance. Those guys who are both handsome (beautiful) and strong are nothing more than having an innate racial talent of taunting more than others.
Feikouweiwang did not mean to underestimate this strange thing, and he fought with all his strength from the beginning. However, "limited skills" is a big problem, and the opponent is indeed a hard player and extremely difficult to deal with... So, this man and monster fought for a long time in the main hall of Liuhe Temple. It was only more than ten minutes ago that Feikou King Wen narrowly won.
And just when he was about to get out of the battle and sit down to take a breath, the second brother... oh no... Oink... suddenly appeared.
What happened afterwards can be summarized in two sentences - Oink easily subdued Feikou King and took him back to the kitchen... ready to let him taste the "broth".
"What's wrong?" At the moment, Oink had just put his food into the soup pot. Although he had his back to the player, he was very clear about the other party's every move, "Knowing that there are other alien travelers nearby, do you think the situation will turn around?"
"I..." Feikou King hesitated for two seconds after hearing this, and then forced himself to be calm and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "... I don't understand what you are saying."
"Ha!" Oink laughed dryly, "This is the first time I've heard someone lie in such a blunt tone."
After this sentence came out, Feikou King did not respond further.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Oink continued, "Well... since you think you can turn the situation around by relying on others, then fine..." He put down the wooden spoon in his hand and covered the pot, "I'll go and invite the other party in." (To be continued...)
