Chapter 407: Chapter 262 I, Sphinx, am back_1

"Damn!"

Mu You blinked. This flame had to inflict at least five thousand damage, right? One flame killed two of them, and he was left critically injured. Only Lin Xue, thanks to the damage reduction of the Crimson Cloak, escaped the highest damage. But the subsequent damage was quickly burning away her life...

No time to think further, Mu You quickly pressed his pocket watch. Before the opponent could breathe fire, he cast a Holy Shield on Lin Hai and a Life Barrier on Little Ya.

[The Panda Man breathes out a large fire...]

The next second, the opponent used the same move again.

This time, no one died. However, the situation hadn’t improved much. He and Lin Xue were severly injured by the flames again. Little Ya’s life dropped instantly, leaving her barely alive, sustained only by the Life Barrier.

Thanks to the Holy Shield, Lin Hai avoided the flames. Though the shield disappeared in an instant, it did protect him from being ignited, making him the only one in good condition on the scene.

Lin Hai was taken aback and quickly began to heal everyone. Mu You also played the role of the priest using Holy Light, but barely managed to stabilize the team’s health.

However, it was still useless. The upcoming texts made them feel even more hopeless.

[Due to the Panda Man’s magic immunity, you can only fight close combat with him.]

[However, you have underestimated the Panda Man’s martial arts. Panda Men are a species addicted to alcohol, and they have a unique racial talent, known as ’drunkenness.’ In their drunken state, Panda Men’s instincts for battle are magnified to the extreme. They no longer intentionally maintain balance, yet they always keep balance.]

[The Panda Man holds a bamboo staff in one hand, fearlessly charging into your ranks, inhaling a puff of alcohol mist, and starts displaying his martial arts skill, standing his ground against the four of you.]

[Your Elven Combat Art is useless in front of him. Although the Panda Man is fat, he is flexible enough. Under the state of drunkenness, his body becomes as flexible as a noodle. Facing your four-man attack, the Panda Man can always dodge with an incredible angle, from start to finish, avoiding all your attacks...]

"Magic immune and 100% dodge rate, isn’t this a bit too much?"

Mu You frowned.

Lin Hai and Little Ya can be disregarded, but his and Lin Xue’s agility attributes are not low. He has the attribute bonus of a vampire skin, and Lin Xue is a player who mainly focuses on agility. Her agility is close to seventy points. No matter how good this national treasure’s martial arts are, it’s too strange not being able to hit even once.

The battle in the game continues, but Mu You already knew there was no hope. Before being killed, he clicked on the Arcane Orb, absorbing the spell the opponent had just used.

[Your Arcane Sphere has copied the intermediate fire magic ’Fire Breath.’]

[Fire Breath: Spews a stream of fire to the fan-shaped area in front, causing 500 fire damage. If the target is affected by the alcohol mist, the alcohol mist will be ignited, causing high burn damage.]

It’s just an intermediate magic, with only five hundred damage.

Of course, the spells copied with the Arcane Orb are all at the lowest LV1. Even if the Panda Man’s magic is at LV5 and above, the damage would be at most one thousand. Even with the addition of some item and fire talent bonuses, the damage would not exceed two thousand.

But this Panda Man’s fire breath produced five to six thousand damage, nearly triple the amount. That is to say, all the extra damage came from the after-effect of igniting the alcohol mist.

What’s truly scary about the Panda Man is not his fire breath, but his alcohol mist.

As he was thinking, the game prompts had started to pop up in succession.

[You were killed by the Panda Man!]

[You are dead, lifespan -1, experience -20...]

[You have been resurrected outside the Ratman Cave.]

[Lin Hai Hai has revived beside you...]

[Pea Breeder has revived beside you...]

[Blossom from the Other Side has revived beside you...]

...

As expected, the entire team got wiped out!

Mu You had anticipated this outcome and wasn’t too worried. He paused the game and went to Vivian to inquire about the Panda Man.

"Panda Man? Why are you asking about that?" Vivian, who was resting, opened her eyes and looked at him.

Mu You explained what happened in the game to her.

"The Panda Man is a civilization with a long history, but it’s already extinct. It is said that it had disappeared completely over two thousand years ago. I didn’t expect there would still be living Panda Man..." Vivian was also slightly surprised after hearing this.

"So, is this race very powerful?" Mu You asked.

"Of course, they are powerful. The Panda tribe are skilled in close combat fighting, and also have excellent magical talents. They belong to the school of both magic and martial arts. However, they also have a significant weakness. Their abilities come from traveling and insights. Once they stop traveling and adventuring, and stay permanently in one place, their level and talents will gradually decline. For this reason, Panda Men are often world travelers, leaving their hometowns once they reach adulthood and never returning." Vivian said.

"I see..."

Mu You kind of understood now. No wonder the Panda Man was only level 12. This Panda Man must have been a legendary master two thousand years ago, but since he had made a promise to help guard a tomb, he had been in the tomb for two thousand years, with his physical abilities gradually deteriorating, thus resulting in his current pitiful level.

Of course, even though his physical abilities had deteriorated, his combat experience remained at its previous level. He held his own against the four of them without losing ground.
