Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Money 7: Come quickly~

The instance boss refers to the demon with the highest level within the instance.

Generally speaking, an E-level instance only contains E-level demons, while the demon boss is of E to E+ level, possibly very close to D-level.

The system seems well-prepared, with the arrow direction on the blue panel constantly changing, pointing directly to the location of the demon boss.

Qian Qi was walking and then stopped, looking suspiciously at the system panel.

"Something’s not right, you’re actually so kind to give me directions for free?"

[Look at what you’re saying...]

[If I’m sending you to die, how can I not offer free directions? ＾ｖ＾]

Qian Qi: ???

This system is even more annoying than she is!

Cursing under her breath, Qian Qi followed the panel, and finally, two hours later, found the demon boss’s nest.

Whether it was due to the system’s guidance or the instance itself having few magic beasts, she hardly encountered any magic beasts along the way.

But she clearly remembered that when she searched for information about instances at school before, it said that instances generally have lots of magic beasts, and even if killed by Awakeners, new magic beasts would refresh after a certain time.

Could this instance be special?

Qian Qi rubbed her chin. Regardless, having fewer magic beasts was good for her.

She looked around at the surrounding terrain, climbed from the side to the top of the demon boss’s nest, and then took off a round yellow ball from her body.

If someone were here, they would surely notice that Qian Qi was covered with various magic plants, including the Poisonous Liquid Demon Gourd, Thorny Cloud Sunflower, and some magic plants recognizable by Magic Plant Department students, all connected by the tendril roots of the Poisonous Liquid Demon Gourd.

What she just took down was a fruit named "Golden Flower."

The fruit "Golden Flower," when bitten open, will explode, though it cannot physically hurt magic beasts, it releases a lot of pungent golden powder, easily affecting the smell and vision of magic beasts.

Qian Qi took down a short green tube that looked like bamboo and poured out a golden-yellow liquid from it.

This liquid is called "Magic Honey," sweeter than regular honey, even magic beasts love it, often bought by Beast Masters as snacks to train Contracted Beasts.

It’s said that the more you lick it, the more addictive it gets. Qian Qi spread the Magic Honey on the Golden Flower, ensuring the demon boss inside the nest would bite it.

"Oops, almost forgot you."

Qian Qi fiddled with several barren Poisonous Liquid Demon Gourds around her waist; the gourds had gray leaves at the top, but because the gray leaves can neutralize the poison fog of the gourd, Qian Qi had already plucked them clean, leaving only a few to be picked and put into her mouth.

Then, she pulled down a tendril from the gourd on her, quickly tied it into a sling ball with her fingers, wrapped the round Golden Flower, and then lay by the edge of the magic beast nest, letting the Golden Flower coated with Magic Honey downwards.

She had to lure the opponent out of the nest first to identify the demon boss type and check its poison resistance.

The Golden Flower wobbled above the entrance of the nest, and soon its thick sweet smell attracted the attention of the demon boss inside.

Three noses sniffed slightly, and the demon boss resting on the ground began to stir, the next moment, it jumped up and ran towards the source of the fragrance.

The heavy yet agile running sound echoed in the nest, Qian Qi’s heart racing, she slightly clenched the Thorny Cloud Sunflower in her hand, frugally eating an Earth Fan Fruit.

Thirty thousand bucks... her heart ached, but for the sake of her life, she had to prioritize her safety.

And as she swallowed the Earth Fan Fruit, the huge demon boss also came out of the nest.

On that robust and slender lion body, three huge pitch-black lion heads were held high, with a sharp water-blue wavy horn on the forehead of the central lion head, wrapped with a faint thread of lightning, looking extremely dangerous.

Three pairs of majestic lion eyes quickly focused on the Golden Flower atop the nest coated with Magic Honey.

"Roar——" _{free we\bnove(l).com}

With a low roar, the three-headed Demon Electric Lion didn’t immediately gnaw on the delicious-scented Golden Flower, its huge furry paw lightly paced on the ground, slowly scrutinizing the Golden Flower, finally raised its head after a moment of thought and bit it.

Qian Qi hidden atop the nest didn’t smell the expected pungent odor, curiously peeking out her head and spotting the three-headed Demon Electric Lion sneakily licking the Golden Flower.

Qian Qi: ...

I actually underestimated your intelligence.

Yet, what she didn’t expect was that the demon boss of this instance turned out to be a lion-like magic beast with three heads, making her wonder if the body, 1.5 times larger than an adult lion, could really support the nutritional needs of three clever heads?

She closely inspected the unicorn on the lion head, guessing from her limited knowledge that it was a thunder-attribute magic beast.

So, it should not have any poison resistance, right?

"Tongzi, does the Earth Fan Fruit withstand its lightning attack?" To make sure everything went smoothly, Qian Qi asked the system in her heart.

[Please have faith in the worth of thirty thousand bucks fruits, okay?] A contemptuous expression appeared on the system display.

Speaking of thirty thousand bucks, Qian Qi got angry, glancing again at the three-headed Demon Electric Lion that was licking but not biting the Golden Flower, she was even angrier.

Looking around, she picked up a stone nearby, not too big or small, and threw it at the lion head licking the Golden Flower.

She was wild as a child, unrivaled in accuracy when throwing stones; the stone hit the lion head, startling the Demon Electric Lion, and with an accidental "crack," it bit the Golden Flower open.

Suddenly, golden pollen exploded everywhere, a smell beyond description instantly spread, pollen seeping through the eyes of the Demon Electric Lion, making them shut tight.

Taking advantage of this, Qian Qi held her breath, and leaped directly to the lion head.

"Roar——"

The twice-hit Demon Electric Lion was raging, the rightmost lion head roared furiously, ready to open its eyes to see which daring magic beast dared to ride its neck, only to find Qian Qi sliding down its neck into its open maw.

Three-headed Demon Electric Lion: ???

System: [??? What are you doing?]

"Let it eat me!" Qian Qi said with conviction, climbing and gripping the Thorny Cloud Sunflower, slashing fiercely onto the Demon Electric Lion’s tongue.

Soon, a few blood marks appeared on the tongue, not very painful but very annoying, the lion head roared again, opening its maw wide and biting fiercely at Qian Qi’s waist!

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly.

The teeth of the Demon Electric Lion cracked, almost shattered, luckily it’s a magic beast nearly D-level, avoiding the fate of becoming a "Toothless Lion."

Seeing not being able to bite, the Demon Electric Lion tried to swallow Qian Qi, but she held hard to its teeth and spikes, it couldn’t swallow, almost splitting her rigid defensive body on its barbed tongue.

"Haha, didn’t expect that!"

Qian Qi laughed sinisterly, "Just love seeing your face trying to eat me but can’t!"

[... Wow, you really are a psycho.]

Unable to swallow Qian Qi, the Demon Electric Lion resorted to chewing, trying to nibble through Qian Qi’s sturdy waist.

Qian Qi’s head was licked by the Demon Electric Lion, feeling nauseous but exactly what she wanted, assuming her waist-entangled Poisonous Liquid Demon Gourds had been fully bitten through.

Just as she anticipated, the squeezed Poisonous Liquid Demon Gourds either exploded with poison fog or directly secreted venom into the wounds left by the Thorny Cloud Sunflower on the tongue.

Five minutes later, the rightmost lion head drooped weakly, poisoned unconscious.

The remaining two lion heads: ???

They watched as Qian Qi crawled out from the third, wondering if it was her imagination, she seemed to see "astonishment" on the lion’s face.

"Ahem." Qian Qi lightly cleared her throat in apology, walking toward the middle lion head, her voice turned twisted — "Buddy, want to taste me? I’m super delicious~"
