“Yes, that does sound powerful... I remember Kuang He Bing Lie (a character from Pi Li Taiwenese Opera) died after using this skill...” Feng Bujue narrowed his sky to reply.
“Shut it!” Atobe was annoyed by the insinuation. “This is a one-time use skill that can require Fighting Mastery B and Sorcery Mastery C, normally speaking, at the very least, it is a Level A Skill.”
“Fine, fine... Then when we run into the Silkworm Mother, we will decide to use this skill of yours as the central focus of our attack tactic.” Feng Bujue said.
“Okay, then leave the crowd control to the rest of us.” Ambitionist nodded and continued, “We will try our best to create the chance and opportunity for you to use your skill.”
“Actually there is no need to purposely go and do these things. The Silkworm Mother is so large so accuracy is not going to be a problem; and the chance of failure for a one-time use skill is practically non-existent...” Atobe replied, “As long as we can confirm there is no silk web standing between me and her, I can...” At this point, Atobe was swiping back a wall of web before him. But to his surprise, a swift shadow lashed out from behind the web.
“be careful!” The moment Pegasus came out with his warning, he had already made his move. This move was surprisingly not Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken but a normal forward punch. However, Pegasus still managed to force out an invisible blast of force based on his overpowering strength. The shadow that darted out was knocked back by the blast from the punch and halted in his movement. Using this opening, Atobe also took half a step back while swinging his large fan and successfully forced the enemy back.
It was then that the group saw clearly what the attacker was. It was a mushroom...
Or to be more precise, it was a ‘mushroomman’.
If at this moment, the image that appeared in your mind was that mushroom character from Super Mario, then you would be wrong... the thing that appeared before the players were more like the God of Haikus from Gag Manga Biyori....
Two seconds later, the fairy ball fell on the crystal ground and then... it started to shake left and right. For some reason... these few seconds, all four players were tense with worry and they were transfixed at their spots...
Once, twice... thrice...
Compelled by some kind of gaming instinct, the four focused their stare at the fairy ball. When it stopped shaking after three times, they all gave off a sigh of relief.
“Ding ding ding deng deng deng deng~” At that moment, the system gave off a very familiar sound effect like completely did not fit into the game that they were playing. Feng Bujue walked forward, picked up the fairy ball and smiled brightly, “Ha! I have captured the God of Haikus!”
“What is this sense of contradiction that ravages my mind...” Pegasus mumbled.
“It felt like we have been suddenly transported into a different game...” Ambitionist added.
Atobe’s gap was quite sharp. “Would a quest suddenly appear to tell you to go around the gyms that are located around this island and collect their badges....”
“Stop talking nonsense. Which of you have an antidote? I need one.” Feng Bujue quickly brought the topic back to the main quest. Even though the effect of the poison was not that strong, he was not going to allow it to ruin his body; In just these few seconds, the Stamina Points that was transmuted from the damage that he received was quite a lot already.
...
Five minutes later, at the top of the Leaf of Terror.
“Hmm? They have really arrived?” The Silkworm Mother who was resting on the vein of the leaf suddenly arced up her body and said, “Hah... they seem to have found a way to cut through the web...” The Silkworm Mother did not have a real sense of ‘sight’ per se, her system of sense was different from the human being’s five senses. Therefore, she did not know about infrared light, but she could sense the approach of the players through the slight vibration of the webs.
“Interesting... well, at least it won’t be a waste of the trap that I have planned.” The Silkworm Mother chuckled. While she was talking to herself, a circle of red light slowly approached from the maze of crystals and arrived at the edge of the Leaf of Terror. Suddenly, with two sharps flapping of a fan, the wind blew. A large fan sliced open a web that opened in the air, four figures then proceeded to leap through the opening. In the flick of a finger, all four players had landed on the Leaf of Terror, they assumed their decided position and trained their focus.
“Coming to save your partner?” The cute voice coming from the stomach of the Silkworm Mother said mockingly. “Oh, I am so touched.”
