“Seriously…this is not an easy raid at all,” Bu Dong exclaimed as he was catching his breath after killing the last Demon Rat that was trapped with them in this black damp room. The room was not lit and there was not a switch in the room to turn the lights up again. If not for the Mask having a night vision mode in it, there was no way he and the rest of the Pandawans would be able to see.
The night vision mode was initially a paid module for the masks that they were wearing but because of the current situation in which most Pandarens were stuck, the System had decided to be ‘gracious’ and ‘magnanimous’ to put it as a buyable module via the use of raid points.
What’s more, was that it was priced way cheaper than usual (about 10-20% cheaper) if the raid points were to be converted into Panda Coins (there was a current exchange rate between the raid points and Panda Coins but because it is done like a live currency exchange, the number of raid points needed to change for one Panda Coin keeps going up.) In fact, Jin later revised to put the Night Vision Module as part of the higher tier tickets especially for the sponsor tickets and the Pandawans all received it for free. (If they already had it previously, it would be converted into extra raid points but only 25% of the current amount that had been offered to the public.)
The System also bundled the night vision module with other Mask’s modules if the Pandarens were looking for some serious upgrades to their current Mask while saving some money along with it. Else, the night vision module was more than sufficient for their current predicament as well as when they use it to traverse the Undercity.
“We did expect that much of a difficulty especially when we had decided to enter the teleport circle.” Xiong Da said as he tried to use his chi to sense whether there are any more living Demon Rats within the vicinity. He had fought these rats before and knew that trickery was not beyond them. In fact, such cowardly behaviour to hide in the room and ambush them when they were caught off guard was perfectly normal. After all, the winner would be the one who survives. (Although the Pandawans know that it was only bothersome for them to restart again once they died, as well as the fear of losing more points than required.)
Eventually, he noticed that there were quite a few Demon Rats hiding within the corpses via his chi sense and decided to use his chi telepathy to tell the rest about it. The rest continued to act casually while building their chi within their body so that when they were close enough to the enemies, they blast their chi out with their strikes.
There was immediate retaliation from the Elite Demon Rats using whatever they could find as a shield. Even using their previous late comrades was an option they did not skip. They were no doubt injured from the Pandawans’ attacks but they were still capable of a counter so they took every opportunity they could salvage and used it to injure the Pandawans.
The only consolation that Pandawans have is that they are experienced cultivators who had been trained in Jin’s Dungeon instances for months. There was no need for them to panic with this surprise ambush when they were the ones who were vigilant enough to counter back as well and put the remaining Demon Rats down to their grave for sure.
After clearing the room once more, everyone started to use chi Sense once again to ensure that there were no more enemies around. It was then they decided to rest a little while Xiong Da and Shi Zuo stood guard. From replenishing their health and chi with potions to ensuring that they were well armed before getting out of the room. It might seem like a room with no exits but their chi sense had managed to find a tunnel corridor that was connected to the doorless room.
Thus, they decided to break it down with force and move forward but the Pandawans immediately felt a dangerous aura emanating within the four walls, causing them to raise their weapons up in reaction. They could not find anything that was moving until they realised that a new teleport circle emerged right in front of them. The only difference was that this teleport circle was smaller in fact, small enough to teleport just one enemy.
“Just one Demon Rat? Did he teleport wrongly?” Luo Bo said only after she released her arrow. However, the Demon Rat screamed at them and the arrow even though imbued with chi was being stopped in its tracks and fell to the ground.
“Guess it’s not some normal Demon Rat that we had been fighting against.” Bin Yong went forth ahead of the group and took a defensive stance, protecting the entire group with his tiny shield.
Roughscream did not know whether to laugh or pity the warrior who stood at the front. To the Demon Rat General, It was obvious to him that the guy defending with his buckler was either naive or stupid.
Yet, the rest of his team seemed to trust him a lot and there was nothing else the rest of the group would do to resist him. This then made Roughscream to be a bit wary of him. Yet, he felt that there was sufficient reason to think that the shield guy had been overestimated by him.
But before the rat could make his move, Luo Bo had decided to use her skill. Thousand Rabbit’s Shower. With no monsters to disturb her and sufficient space between her and the enemy, the Luo Bo was able to utilise this difficult skill that ensured that her arrows would shower and hit true.
Roughscream tried to defend against the Thousand Rabbit’sShower and thought it was just a bunch of arrows attempting to injure him. But never did he realise that those arrows that had been blasted through a wide radius would eventually converge towards him.
“Heh. You better give me more fun than this.” Roughscream said to himself as he flicked his pickaxe which had killed dozens of cultivators before leaping further into this kill box zone.
