I Only have One Skill, But I Can Put A Hole Through The Planet - Chapter 29
Middle section of the [ Thousand Snakes Lair ].
Over a hundred snake monsters were making their way towards the party be it from above or the bottom of the lair!
This sudden appearance of the snakes caused many of them to panic.
The thick and heavy snake monsters lunged forward at the same time, forming a slithery veil that obscured their vision!
57!
63!
59!
Almost everyone had taken damage from the sudden surge of monsters!
Fortunately, the damage the monsters dealt was rather low. Plus, owing to how densely packed they were, not many were actually capable of landing a hit.
However, everyone immediately noticed that their Spirit values were beginning to deteriorate!
It was dropping from 100 to 95, and it showed no signs of stopping.
Their vision started to waver.
“Don’t just stand there! Warriors, activate your skills to block them!”
“These snakes are venomous! After taking too many attacks, their venom will cause momentary blindness!”
The wall of snakes was making it difficult for Xue Feng’s subgroup to spot Su Chen’s subgroup. All he could do was shout his orders and hope for the best.
Fortunately, Su Chen’s subgroup heard the orders loud and clear!
[ Mountain Fortress ] !
As a Heavy Shield Warrior, Qiao Yi knew that it was his time for act.
He erected his giant shield and cast a projection that enveloped Su Chen’s subgroup.
The projection pushed all the snake monsters aside.
“You can come to our side!”
Upon casting [ Mountain Fortress ], Qiao Yi’s Defense had risen immensely, and upon striking the projection or his shield, they had only managed to deal 20 damage!
“Each cast only lasts 30 seconds. I can’t hold them back for too long! Let’s start moving forward!”
“Once my shield ends, it’s your turn to take the brunt of the damage, Zhang Ming!”
Qiao Yi’s voice rang out once more.
During such a situation, the correct course of action to take was to imitate Su Chen, who was leaning against the wall while steadily moving forward.
However, Zhang Ming and Li Xing exchanged glances amidst the chaos, indicating that it was time to make their move.
One of them unleashed their Bowman skills to avoid arousing suspicion, whereas the other one used the two shields that he was holding to suddenly push Su Chen!
This was the plan that they had thought of just now.
Although friendly fire would prevent them from directly harming their allies, touching was fair game.
You dare take our brother’s spot and reduce our income!?
You’ll pay with your level!
Unfortunately, even if you drop any equipment here, we won’t be able to pick it up.
Su Chen, who was in the midst of casting his Fireball, was pushed by the great strength of the Double Shield Warrior, and he immediately lost balance!
He suddenly fell into the pit that was filled with snake monsters!
As he was surrounded by snake monsters, Qiao Yi, Su Chen’s little fanboy, was utterly clueless that his idol had already dropped into the pit.
However, just as Su Chen was falling, he managed to grab Zhang Ming’s left arm, and as a result, the two of them had fallen into the pit together!
“Careful!”
It was only then that Qiao Yi noticed Su Chen and Zhang Ming falling down. He shouted anxiously, but as expected, it had done nothing to help with the situation.
At the same time, his [ Mountain Fortress ]’s duration had already run out. With the projection now gone, the snake monsters leaped onto the party once more.
He swung his shield and smacked the snake monsters, but since he had allocated all his stats into Defense, he was lacking enough damage to kill them.
His HP was dropping rapidly.
The same had applied to the Bowman as well. He was already chugging down HP potions like no tomorrow.
It seemed that he would not last for much longer.
However, at this moment.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, several crossbow bolts flew over.
They pierced through the snake monsters’ body, and although it was not enough damage to kill them outright, it had still managed to pin them onto the wall.
“Quick, stick to the wall and come over!”
The level 18 [ Crossbowman ] Mu Lin shouted at Qiao Yi’s subgroup.
Xue Feng also swung his heavy broadsword to clear the way for them.
Qiao Yi led his subgroup that had now been reduced to two members and met up with Xue Feng and his crew. They hurriedly cleared their way across the pit, and before long, they had returned to a normal tunnel.
Seeing that they were now out of the aggro zone, the snake monsters stopped giving chase and returned to whence they came.
Xue Feng looked at the two-man subgroup and frowned as he asked Qiao Yi, “Where’s Little Brother Su? Where’s Zhang Ming?”
“Did they die, or did they drop down?”
Qiao Yi responded dejectedly, “They accidentally fell into the snake pit.”
“No! It wasn’t an accident. It was that kid who accidentally fell. But in a failed attempt to regain his footing, he pulled Zhang Ming as well, causing the both of them to drop into the pit!”
The Bowman Li Xing angrily spat.
Xue Feng frowned deeply. He had a feeling that something was amiss.
He subconsciously glanced at Zhou Pengtai.
“Old Xue, why are you looking at me?”
“I’ve already told you, no? The kid thinks he’s a hotshot all because he has two pieces of green rank equipment. The truth of the matter is, he’s simply trash when it comes to an actual battle.”
Zhou Pengtai immediately replied.
“F*ck! Forget it, let’s just move on.”
“Those two will die sooner or later now that they’re in the pit.”
“The rest of you, keep your spirits up. There’s a level 20 boss ahead. Now that we’ve lost two party members, our combat prowess has taken a major hit! Don’t waste any more time!”
Xue Feng did not dawdle on this matter. He simply proceeded with the plan and led everyone forward.
…
Within the snake monster pit.
99!
99!
Su Chen and Zhang Ming slammed into the ground with a thud and lost 99 HP.
However, their surroundings were completely different from what they had expected.
Perhaps due to their party members above aggroing all the monsters in the pit, there was currently not a single snake monster in sight.
Zhang Ming turned to look at Su Chen, who was equipped with two pieces of green rank equipment. Suddenly, a hint of green flashed in his eyes.
[ level 15 Double Shield Warrior, Zhang Ming has left the party. ]
A system notification flashed across Su Chen’s vision.
Realizing that something was amiss, Su Chen hurriedly stood up and dodged to the right!
Miss!
Zhang Ming equipped his shields and launched a Double Shield Strike at Su Chen!
“You dodged it?!”
Zhang Ming looked at Su Chen in surprise.
He had finally dropped the act.
Especially since no one could see them down there.
Right now, his only goal was to kill Su Chen.
It should be a cinch for a level 15 Double Shield Warrior to take down a mere level 15 Fire Mage!
Even if he has green rank equipment, my class and level advantage will definitely still let me pull ahead!
Plus, what if I can get him to drop his green rank equipment!?
I’d make a killing!
“To think that you’d actually dare to drag me down with you. Oh well, this is a good opportunity for me as well. Let’s hope you’ll drop your equipment upon death!”
Zhang Ming shouted and began his assault on Su Chen!
Su Chen looked at the attacking Zhang Ming and calmly moved his staff. At the same time, he said with a bemused expression on his face.
“What an interesting turn of events.”
“To think that you’d even make an opportunity for us to be alone.”
“You even took the initiative to leave the party for me, how kind.”
The moment he finished talking, a flaming blue orb shot outwards and slammed into Zhang Ming!
939!
Zhang Ming’s was instantly blown back after being hit by the fireball!
His HP was instantly vaporized!
“Holy sh*t!”
Before turning into a ball of white light, Zhang Ming’s eyes were wide open with shock.
He was really stunned!
Is this supposed to be an amount of damage that a level 13 Mage can deal!?
