When I was a novice rookie, in order to be able to quickly increase the level, I walked through every corner of the first ten floors, eliminated every monster in the first ten floors, and finally got an exact information, that is, starting from the eighth floor, there will be one to several elite monsters on each floor.

In contrast to the vast majority of brute, impulsive, and low-IQ mobs, elite mobs are usually smart, and they can take advantage of favorable terrain to ambush or command brainless mobs to attack in batches.

These methods are often a headache for many novice adventurers, and some of them may even lose their lives if they are not careful.

And this is not an isolated phenomenon.

Just like now, there are about two dozen big-toothed rats blocking our way, all hunched backs, baring their teeth, staring, ready to attack.

Watching their fan-shaped encirclement, I'm sure there must be an elite toothed rat in some dark corner nearby, flashing a cunning gaze and chirping like a successful plan.

"Xiao Yi, we are surrounded."

Except for yesterday's strange tide, Phoenix has rarely seen such a large formation, and it can't make up its mind for a while, blinking its big eyes and longing for my advice.

It's no wonder that from the first floor to the seventh floor is a haven for novice adventurers, in the words of the veteran staff in the adventurer's base - they are the scalps thrown off by the god of creation, weak, disorganized, and never united.

Whenever I hear this sentence, I will maliciously associate the god of creation with the image of a strange uncle sitting in front of the computer, holding an instant noodle box, a messy bird's nest hairstyle, and a lewd smile on his face from time to time.

I also think of the terrifying scene where if he moves his head slightly, his scalp will fall off like snow.

And those white scalps will also turn into small monsters with one to seven layers.

Sneaking a glance at Xiao Squeak, which piece of scalp will it be cut into?

I couldn't help but shudder.

Without opening those disgusting brain holes, I came to Phoenix's side, the sword in my hand shook twice in the air, grinned, and encouraged her softly: "Don't be afraid, just do it!" ”

After saying that, I rushed forward, faced the two big-toothed rats that pounced, and swung the knives in my hands vigorously, leaving them in the air.

Ding-ding, dropping two copper coins and one silver coin.

The phoenix was not moved by my passionate words and actions, but only surged with blood after seeing the three coins that had fallen.

As a fan of small wealth, she encountered a monster that could drop silver coins directly for the first time, and the whole person went crazy in an instant.

Yaa, yes, yes!

The phoenix opened its small mouth and let out a childish roar, and a pair of small pink fists kept dancing, releasing qigong bullets with full strength.

One after another, pure white qigong bombs were like glowing goose eggs, and they slammed into the twenty or so big-toothed rats in front of them like no money.

The sudden and crazy attack caught the big-toothed rats off guard, and the formation that was easy to set out was like a mud wall that had encountered a tide, and it was instantly disintegrated cleanly.

Occasionally, one or two surviving big-toothed rats fled into the dark corners like frightened birds.

The phoenix did not relent, while babbling and roaring milkily, while waving its two small hands, constantly releasing qigong bombs, vowing to blow up these moving silver coins one by one.

This scene made my heart tremble, I didn't expect Xiao Nizi to have such a terrifying attachment to money, if I really marry her home in the future, I only have two copper coins a day to spend pocket money.

Subconsciously, I clutched the gold coins in my pocket, feeling that being single was also a good choice.

Phoenix killed the last of the big-toothed rats a few meters from the dark corner, and she happily bent down to pick up the silver coins that had fallen to the ground, while I followed her casually, looking around.

And at this moment, in the darkness, a cool breeze swept past, like a bat that preyed on insects, and went straight to the delicate and white neck of the phoenix.

Hmph, I sneered slightly, I had been waiting for a long time, and without saying a word, I raised my knife and stabbed hard.

The tip of the knife broke through the cool breeze and stabbed into the body of the incoming thing with lightning speed, like cutting into a slightly elastic dried tofu, nailing it to the opposite rock without hindrance.

It was a big-toothed rat more than a foot long, still struggling desperately.

Its belly had been pierced by my sword, and it was bleeding black and red; The four unusually thick claws kept scratching in mid-air, but they were too short to catch any of us, and they just kept waving in vain; A pair of red eyes glared at me, glowing with hatred; The two large front teeth are not as white as ordinary rats, but are pitch black, which is disgusting.

Yikes!

Phoenix was startled and sat directly on the ground, she patted her full chest, gasped, and said, "What is this?" ”

Seeing that her hair exploded in fright, I snickered in my heart, but I still pretended to be concerned and stepped forward, helped her up, touched the top of her head and said, "Touch the hair, I can't be scared." ”

Then he pulled her to the dying toothed rat and let her see it clearly.

"Really, it scared me, it turned out to be a big-toothed mouse."

The phoenix let out a long breath, and suddenly pointed to a pair of black front teeth of the big-toothed mouse, and said with some horror: "Hey, how about its teeth. It can't be tooth decay caused by not brushing your teeth for a long time? Vomit. ”

"Have you ever seen a big-toothed mouse brushing your teeth?" I twitched the corners of my mouth a few times, and said helplessly: "The black front teeth represent its identity, this is an elite big-toothed mouse, which is the head of the group of big-toothed rats just now." ”

As I spoke, I glanced at the elite big-toothed rat whose fur was slowly losing color and its limbs were slowly becoming stiff, and said to Phoenix: "It is estimated that because the siege just now did not work, it is still unwilling, so it hides in the corner and waits, ready to launch a fatal blow when you are defenseless." ”

Phoenix stared viciously at the elite big-toothed rat whose eyes were slightly squinted and completely stiffened, and said angrily: "It turns out that there is such a bad thing, quickly throw away this dead rat, don't stain your newly bought knife." ”

Listening to Phoenix's innocent words, I still couldn't hold back my laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

Phoenix looked at me puzzled, with a little anger in her eyes, as if to reproach me for not telling her this earlier.

"Who told you the rat was dead? You still underestimate the intelligence of elite monsters, platoon attacks and ambushes are just the means they have learned, and what they are born with is the skill of playing dead. ”

I thrust the knife again, and the long-dead elite toothed mouse suddenly opened its red eyes and struggled frantically again, this time more violently than the last struggle.

Then, with a twist of his wrist, the Taidao cut off the elite big-toothed rat more than a foot long, and before it landed, it turned into a black mist and dissipated in mid-air, and at the same time, the two black front teeth also fell down.

"This is the state of the dungeon monster after it dies."

Put away the knife and pick up the two black teeth scattered on the ground, secretly happy in his heart.

The incisors of the elite bigtoothed rats, which are relatively rare materials, can be exchanged for at least two gold coins.

I was thinking about it in my heart.

As soon as I looked up, Phoenix was standing timidly next to Xiao Qi, her eyes staring at the two black front teeth in my palm, and she wanted to say goodbye.

I knew her dedication to coins and materials, and I could see if she really hated black things, especially black teeth, or front teeth.

I reached out and handed both front teeth over, and she stepped back in fear.

"It's okay, it's clean."

I comforted her.

"I... I know, it's just the feeling. Under the weather. ”

The phoenix lowered its head slightly, its index fingers touched, and its voice was very small, similar to that of a mosquito, and I almost didn't hear it clearly.

"You always have to get used to it later."

I stepped forward and tucked the two front teeth into Phoenix's small hand.

The phoenix's body shook coldly, and the two front teeth fell to the ground again, making a crisp sound.

"Yes. . . I'm sorry. ”

Phoenix looked apologetic, but it was clear that she still had a fearful attitude towards the two black front teeth.

"I, I'm not very good at dealing with black."

I didn't blame her, I just leaned down, picked up the two front teeth, wiped them on my clothes, put them in the pocket on Xiao Squeak's back, turned around, and gently stroked the top of the phoenix's head, giving her a warm smile.

"It's okay, don't touch it if you don't like it, just let me do it in the future."

Phoenix peeked at my expression and saw that I wasn't angry with her, so she let out a shallow smile on her face.

Phoenix's fear of black, in fact, I should have known about it.

She never dared to chase monsters into dark corners, nor did she dare to stand on the edge of the abyss and look down; No matter how poor he is, once it is night, he will light up the expensive magic stone lamp in the house to illuminate the whole house; Every time I cleaned up all the chores and got ready for bed, Phoenix would curl up in the quilt, shivering, at first I thought she just liked to fall asleep holding my arm, until I finally understood that she was afraid of the dark.

Maybe this is innate, or maybe it has something to do with her missing master, but no matter what, this is the biggest obstacle in her heart, and maybe one day, this obstacle will become the biggest enemy in her path.

How could I not be like that?

I sighed heavily as I looked at my left arm, which was tightly bandaged, and thought back to the delicate and mysterious pattern on my left arm, and the tragedy it had caused.

After comforting the phoenix, we went deeper again.

With the previous lesson, Phoenix never let her guard down again, and after killing a wave of big-toothed rats again, she probed her brain to look around, and quickly picked up the coins and materials on the ground, and threw them into Xiao Squeak's backpack.

I'm amused at her overly cautious approach, but it's better to be cautious than careless.

Soon, we had thoroughly 'cleaned' the main road on the eighth floor, and as for those dark corners and dim corners, Phoenix didn't like to go, and I wasn't going to take that risk.

In front of you is the portal on the ninth floor.

Phoenix stood at the door, hesitating to go in, after all, she is now level three, and I told her that the monsters inside are all level four, and once inside, she can no longer run around and act alone, and must always follow me.

This is a heartfelt challenge for her, who has always loved freedom and freedom.

While she was considering, Xiao Squeak and I boredly drew a suffocating cow on the ground.

Just when Xiao Squeak was about to suffocate me ruthlessly in the corner, two screams suddenly came from the chaotic portal.
