Chapter 43: How many new and strange monsters will there be in this other world? - Fierce battle! Un

The previous chapter discussed Qi Xinyang's first dungeon raid. She hadn't gone far when she encountered the same acid monster she'd killed the previous day. This time, she didn't use a bow and arrow to kill it, but instead used Wind Walk and a dagger. However, after killing the monster, she suddenly ran out of breath and crouched on the ground, gasping for breath. She suspected that her Wind Walk combined with the dagger had a problem, causing a side effect. She decided to observe the cause of this side effect in subsequent battles.

Then, while she was on guard, she encountered the same ground wolf she had killed the day before. Having experienced the battle with the ground wolf yesterday, she thought to herself, "If one ground wolf howls, the others will follow. It's best to kill them with one strike." This time, she didn't wait for the ground wolf to notice her. Instead, she nocked her arrow, drew her bow, aimed, and fired. With just one simple movement, she easily pierced the ground wolf. Everything seemed so simple and unpretentious. After all, her combat experience accumulates. After encountering a monster once, she knew how to choose the best fighting method to deal with it. From that day on, she was full of confidence in her bow and arrow's ability to kill monsters. This became her best choice of fighting method in the future, and even her only choice.

Qi Xinyang continued to walk deeper into the dungeon, observing the brightly lit passageways. She began to wonder, thinking of the torches at the entrance that hadn't gone out. She thought to herself, "Have the torches here never gone out? It seems magical energy is keeping them burning." She marveled at the effects of magical energy.

Then, Qi Xinyang suddenly spotted two ground wolves in the corner of the passage. She immediately retreated back around the corner, thinking, "Oh, I haven't used the arrows from that grocery store yet. Next time I encounter a monster, I'll use these arrows." True to the saying, "A person of great skill is bold." She firmly believed in the lethality of her bow and arrows, and it had nothing to do with whether the arrows were of higher quality.

Qi Xinyang held the bow in her hand and thought to herself, "Now that I've made up my mind, I have to take action against those two ground wolves as soon as possible to prevent their howls from attracting other ground wolves." Then, she put an arrow on the bow, pulled the bow, aimed, and shot, directly shooting through one of the ground wolves.

When one wolf fell, the other wolf immediately became alert. Qi Xinyang didn't even wait for it to howl, and shot another wolf through with an arrow. She walked over and took a look, thinking, "There are no materials left. Oh, this is too random. If I really can't hit it, I might as well take the materials I got yesterday and send them to the lady at the front desk." She wanted to give up, but when she looked at the arrows in the arrow bag, she changed her mind and said, "At least use up all these arrows before going back." So, she set a small goal for herself, to use up the arrows in one arrow bag first.

Qi Xinyang continued her search for monsters in the abandoned underground palace. However, if she encountered a group of three or more ground wolves, she would avoid them and take a detour. Facing three or more enemies simultaneously was a bit of a challenge, especially with ground wolves. Even if she could dispatch two of them in quick succession, she would struggle to react to the last one, whether it was charging at her or howling from its spot.

After leaving the wolf gathering area, Qi Xinyang encountered another acid monster. This time, she didn't use her dagger, instead confidently using the arrows given away for free at the grocery store. After she killed the acid monster with a single arrow, unfortunately, no materials were left. She thought to herself, "What bad luck today! No materials have dropped in such a long time. What do other adventurers do when they can't get materials? The lady at the front desk said this quest has a time limit. Should I just stay here until I get the materials?" Her thoughts were correct, except that the other adventurers didn't live inside the dungeon, but camped outside.

Qi Xinyang collected the arrows and continued walking forward. Along the way, she had been recycling any arrows that could no longer be used. This was a habit she had developed naturally since her first time in the dungeon. She subsequently encountered several more acid monsters, and her arrow consumption skyrocketed, yet she hadn't obtained any materials. She was getting impatient and thought, "Maybe I should just go back. I've been walking around in this abandoned underground palace for too long today." As she put away her bow, a monster she had never seen before suddenly appeared before her.

The monster that appeared before Qi Xinyang looked like a plant. It was a plant, but it was actually a living plant. Although it wasn't as tall as a human, it looked strange and scary, and it was still slowly crawling forward.

Qi Xinyang couldn't describe the plant before her. It looked like a bunch of vines all entwined together, their roots not rooted in the ground, but constantly crawling towards her. She thought to herself, "How disgusting! What's this pile of stuff, and why is it moving? Is there something hidden in it?" It's no wonder she had such wild thoughts; after all, she had never seen it before.

In this completely unknown situation, Qi Xinyang had no choice but to retreat. She took out her Identification Eye and used it to identify the monster in front of her. After identification, she saw, "Species: Monster, Name: Entangling Vine, Identification: Low-level Monster, Skill: Wind Magic."

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Who can tell what kind of ability this has? Wait, 'entanglement' and 'wind magic', could it be 'wind entanglement'?" Just as she was analyzing and pondering, the monster didn't wait for her.

The monster called "Entanglement Vine" cast a spell directly at Qi Xinyang, which was the "Wind Entanglement Spell"!

Qi Xinyang took one look and thought to herself, "I'm such a genius, I can even guess this!" She immediately tapped the ground with her toes and slid sideways, leaving her original standing place and easily avoiding the spell of the entwining vines.

The effect of "Wind Entanglement" is to reduce the target's mobility, just like having a heavy sandbag tied to the feet, and the movement speed and jumping speed will be greatly reduced.

After the spell failed, the vine slowly crawled towards Qi Xinyang.

Qi Xinyang continued to cast spells at her while being on guard against the entwining vines, while also aiming his arrow at the entwining vines.

With a whoosh, an arrow pierced through the vines and sank diagonally into the gap between the tiles behind them. Although Qi Xinyang's arrows knocked down several vines, they failed to completely destroy the vines.

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "No way! My bow and arrow should be very powerful. Could it be that the actual core of the vine is very small?" Her analysis was completely correct, but she was a little hesitant, thinking, "Should I use the dagger to chop it and see what it is, or continue to shoot with the bow and arrow and try my luck?" She quickly made up her mind and thought, "It always feels too dangerous to get close, and I don't know what effect the vine will have. I might as well shoot with the arrow!" Thinking of this, she continued to aim and shoot.

After Qi Xinyang shot countless arrows, including one at every part of the vine, he finally managed to hit the core of the vine by luck and completely defeated it.

All the vines surrounding the vine's body collapsed to the ground, but nothing could be seen inside. Qi Xinyang observed and thought, "It seems that after the core was shot through, it immediately disappeared, leaving only the vines." She looked back at the arrows and found that only three of the free arrows from the grocery store were left. She thought, "Let's collect them quickly. I wonder how many of them are still usable on the ground."

Just as Qi Xinyang was retrieving the arrow, the corpse of the entangled vine also disappeared without a trace. She sighed, muttering to herself, "Alas, there are no materials left again. But at least I saw a different monster." After saying that, she immediately took out a "little notebook" from her bag and wrote down the information about the entangled vine. She had bought a piece of white paper to draw a map before, and this time she bought a small notebook to record the monsters she had seen. She thought to herself, "If I can't understand the atlas, I'll draw my own atlas." Then she drew a portrait of the monster. It must be said that her drawing skills are really good, and she really drew the characteristics very clearly.

Next, Qi Xinyang encountered two acid monsters huddled together in this abandoned underground palace. Suddenly, a terrifying thought struck her: "Why not try and see if I can dodge the simultaneous spell attacks of both?" With that thought, she sprang into action. However, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to dodge in time, so she cast Wind Walk on herself, intending to flee immediately if she couldn't dodge. Then, radiating a green aura, she approached the two acid monsters.

The two acid water monsters discovered Qi Xinyang at the same time and immediately cast a series of spells at her.

Seeing the acid monsters spraying water droplets at her, Qi Xinyang immediately dodged their attacks. With the added bonus of Wind Walk, she dodged with incredible speed. The combined attacks of the two acid monsters failed to hit her.

After dodging for a while, she felt it was almost time, so she immediately aimed her arrow. After dodging and aiming at the same time, she shot through one acid monster, and then shot through another.

Although Qi Xinyang easily defeated the two acid monsters, she noticed something was wrong. The arrow she shot not only pierced the acid monsters but also lodged deeply into the stone wall. The entire arrowhead was embedded, leaving only the bulk of the arrow exposed. There was no way to retrieve it.

Qi Xinyang sheathed her bow and looked at the two arrows lodged in the wall. She wondered, "How is this possible? Could this be another effect of the Wind Walk spell?" As she pondered this, the exhaustion returned. It was her Wind Walk spell that had dissipated. She leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. After a while, she finally regained her normal breathing.

Qi Xinyang thought to herself at this moment, "It seems that the dagger is not the problem. The side effects of this Wind Walking Technique are too dangerous. I can't use it carelessly in the future. I can only use it at critical moments. But why did it become like this? I remember it wasn't like this before." At this moment, she still couldn't figure it out.

Qi Xinyang took another close look at the place she was in and thought to herself, "If there's a door here, it must be a large room." With that thought in mind, she picked up a torch from the wall and began to explore the obscure corners of the room. In a small corner, she found a chest. Looking at the chest in front of her, she wondered, "Could this be the 'treasure chest' that boys talk about? But it's locked. Shouldn't I look for the key?" Then, on second thought, she muttered, "Ugh! Why look for a key? I'll just pry the chest open!" Immediately, she drew her dagger.

Qi Xinyang then used her dagger to pry the box open, leveraging it, but it didn't budge. She thought, "This doesn't make sense. Why isn't it moving? It's a wooden box, not an iron one." Then she thought, "Could it be that, like the inextinguishable torch, this is some magical energy at work?" With that thought, she stepped back and propped the torch against the wall.

Qi Xinyang took out his bow, nocked his arrow, took aim, and shot an arrow at the box. The arrow naturally pierced the box, but soon the arrow slowly retreated out of the box and fell to the ground. When he looked at the box again, it was still intact.

Qi Xinyang, who saw all this, thought to herself, "As expected, it seems that the magical energy in the dungeon is to blame. Eh, could it be that this 'treasure chest' and those monsters are caused by magical energy?" It can be said that she guessed correctly, but she was not sure whether her guess was correct.

Qi Xinyang squatted on the ground and stared at the box for a long time. She muttered, "I'm really curious about what's inside, but I can't open it. Oh, how annoying!" After that, she kicked the box twice.

Qi Xinyang left the "room" in a huff and continued on her way. On the way, she wondered, "Could it be that the "room" where the three wolves gathered just now also has a 'treasure chest'?" Then she thought, "Never mind, it can't be opened anyway, so forget it!" She left with such regret, feeling incredibly upset, but helpless. After all, even if she kept wasting time like this, the chest wouldn't open on its own.
