Chapter 652: 223. Why do you guys always encounter such strange things? _3

Of course, this was just the projected effect of injury.

For the digitized players, it’s always difficult to define the state of weakness.

Each player’s response to pain and endurance levels varied; for instance, Little Wei Ming, unique in her circumstances, could keep fighting despite intense pain, while the pampered Little Brother Fu would yelp in pain even if his foot was accidentally hurt.

But it was clear that only when they died would they truly stop fighting.

"Power of Nature, please soothe this warrior’s pain."

Lady Shui, embodying her role, invoked Avalon and waved her thorny magic wand to cast Spring Revival. A surge of green spiritual energy flowed into Sister Pomegranate, instantly lifting her spirits.

The "bruise" and "bleeding" effects on the character interface were quickly cleared.

Due to three of Lady Shui’s five character strengths passively enhancing the effect of healing spells, her professional Spring Revival was faster than Wumeioge, who had passed the Black Iron Trial but was still embarrassingly slow.

Worth mentioning is that her "super healing" ability was considered a "God-given gift" within the Avalon Church. Coupled with her outstanding appearance, Old Eugene and Madame Jules had begun discussing whether to groom her into a new "missionary".

If the Avalon Church approved of "Saintess", Lady Shui would surely earn the strange nickname "Saintess of Nature" in the game, given her qualifications.

"Pomegranate, take a break, you scared us."

Orchid moved forward leaning on her blood-soaked Falcon Shield, pressing Sister Pomegranate, who had just risen and wanted to continue the chase, to the ground. She said:

"You’re not yourself today. You never used to be this aggressive."

"Oh, don’t stop her, she just doesn’t want the annoying Brother Cat to surpass her."

The poignant Little Wei Ming, chewing on fruit candy and checking the personal point pool interface, drawled:

"But he just killed an elite creature, Pomegranate. He’s scored more points than you."

"Don’t fan the flames, you fool!"

Sister Lumina knocked on Little Wei Ming’s forehead and looked up at their current location.

The small den they were in was filled with corpses; more than twenty Jackal Barbarians had been killed. There were no elite leaders here, and the accompanying Gnolls had already fled through tunnels on seeing bad prospects.

These short creatures were skilled at digging and ambushing, but were naturally cowardly. Without the Jackal Barbarians backing them, even the elite Gnolls dared not face humans.

They were pitiful creatures.

However, they were different from the Jackal Barbarians. According to Lady Cui Si, Gnolls were indigenous to Transylvania and not "gifts" from the Black Disaster. This species was widely spread across the continent.

Even in the cold wilderness, their dens were everywhere. Even the most knowledgeable Psychics and Priests of the Sun could not ascertain the number of Gnolls on the continent.

Therefore, from an evolutionary standpoint, the survival strategy of the Gnolls was quite successful.

"Don’t worry about him surpassing you. It’s the moment of darkness next, your home ground."

Lady Shui checked the time.

She needed to turn off sleep mode to prepare breakfast for her husband and children; she would be offline for at least three hours. Before logging off, this intelligent and gentle housewife advised Sister Pomegranate:

"After night falls, there’s no need to focus on ordinary Jackal Barbarians. Use your and Little Wei Ming’s advantage of flight to attack Black Iron and elite creatures to quickly collect points. Brother Cat is indeed more skilled than you, and his team far exceeds our five-person group in terms of destructive power.

But that shouldn’t stop you from capitalizing on your strengths.

Never rush into things blindly.

If something goes wrong because you’re too hurried, all your prior efforts will be for nothing."

With that said, Lady Shui laid down a mat next to the campfire Lumina had started and then logged off. The remaining four members gathered around the fire, letting Orchid, the great explorer, cook them a meal in-game to replenish their exhausted bodies.

"It’s my fault."

Sitting next to them, Sister Pomegranate tended to her combat claws. After a few minutes of silence, she let out a sigh and admitted to the other three:

"I was too committed today, ignoring your feelings. I know that none of you enjoy all the fighting and killing... I just... hate being surpassed by others.

There’s no point in being the runner-up.

Only the champion is worthy of the flowers and praise."

"But you’re already very strong."

Little Wei Ming cuddled up close to Sister Pomegranate. She carefully disassembled her two crimson hand cannons for maintenance, while saying:

"You’re the most powerful woman I’ve ever seen! Even stronger than my grandmother. Do you know how my grandmother dealt with those field rats on the farm? She would bash their heads in with a rake! But the sight of you smashing the heads of those wolf people... If my grandmother saw it, she’d scream ’oh my god!’"

"You just haven’t met a formidable opponent for a while, so encountering one suddenly led you to revert to your professional mindset.

It isn’t abnormal, don’t fret.

Just like when I was on the Sichuan-Tibet route a few years ago, I was foolish. I insisted on competing with another traveler. I found him so annoying, and ended up climbing too fast and suffered from altitude sickness.

In the end, he was the one who carried me down from the highlands. We’re still good friends now."

While stirring a variety of dried foods to boil them over the bonfire, Orchid spoke gently:

"Relax, Pomegranate. You’re no longer a professional athlete. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. You need to learn to enjoy a relaxing and happy life."

"Huh."

At this moment, the three girls around the fire were all looking at Orchid, who was playing the role of the understanding "big sister".

After a few seconds, Sister Pomegranate coughed and, with a stern face, said in a low voice:

"But I’m more concerned about whether something happened between you and the man who carried you down..."

"Shut up! I’m comforting you here! You heartless girl, stop nosing around in my business!"

Orchid barked angrily, causing the other three to start laughing. Suddenly laughing midway, the perceptive Little Wei Ming abruptly covered Pomegranate’s mouth. She got up, alert, her ears pricked up in all directions, then said:

"I heard a voice, someone is yelling ’help’... Their voice is strange... It’s nearby, no, it’s in this wolf people’s den! Quick, fan out and search. Orchid, you stay here and guard Lady Shui. Don’t let anyone take advantage of her.

Her husband is famously protective. You don’t want to mess with him."

Under Little Wei Ming’s command, the three girls immediately spread out. Orchid stayed in place cooking porridge but also readied a hunting rifle by her side. A few minutes later, a shriek came from Little Wei Ming over the team’s channel:

"What the hell! What is this thing? Hurry up! I found it! It’s a... wolf person locked in a cage, and it can talk!"

"? What do you mean it can talk?"

"Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like! Don’t dwell on it, I think I’ve found something big. Hurry over!"
