What kind of girl would travel to another world?

In the previous chapter, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi followed the adventure team into the underground city of Corpse Curtain Cave. At this point, they encountered a second acid monster and encountered a minor incident. After You Jiahui slew the monster with a single strike, a large amount of acid from the monster splashed onto Torsi, who was standing nearby. Torsi collapsed in agony, but Yang Mingyi's timely healing spell instantly healed him.

Torsi saw that he was fine, but his shirt had been corroded into shreds by the acid splashed by the acid monster. Even his protective gear had been corroded to the point of breaking apart, with metal pieces falling to the ground. He could only continue his journey through the curtained cave, shirtless.

Next, their formation changed significantly as they explored the Curtain Cave.

You Jiahui walked in front, wanting to test whether she could kill the acid monster with one strike of her sword again. She wanted to find out whether it was a coincidence or a necessity.

Although Yang Mingyi was walking behind, the adventure team kept her in the center, like a star-studded group. Di Wuan was always blocking her way, while Yuribian and Torsi were on either side of her, turning their heads from time to time to guard their left, right, and back.

The adventure team was now completely focused on protecting Yang Mingyi. They all knew that anyone seriously injured could be saved by Yang Mingyi. However, if Yang Mingyi was seriously injured, that wasn't necessarily the case. Right now, Yang Mingyi was the primary target of their protection.

Yang Mingyi was very confused about the change in formation and asked You Jiahui loudly, "Jiahui, why did you get to the front?" Although she didn't understand, she didn't dare to catch up and walk so far ahead.

You Jiahui loudly replied to Yang Mingyi, "You stay back." She now understood Yang Mingyi's role. Rather than using her as a combat force, it would be better to have her serve as a logistics support.

Not long after they started walking, they encountered another acid water monster, but the difference was that it was much bigger! It was also because of the size of the acid water monster that they were able to spot it from a greater distance.

Torsi said to You Jiahui, "My Lord Knight, be careful. That acid water monster is about the same height as a human. It must be a 'mutant'." As soon as he said this, everyone became nervous.

You Jiahui also noticed that the acid monster in the distance was indeed different from the two she had seen before. The large "acid monster (large mutant)" she was observing was twice the size of the acid monsters she had encountered before, not only taller but also wider.

Di Wuan said to Torsi, "I remember that this kind of 'mutant' is only described in the illustrations. I have never seen it with my own eyes before." After saying that, he was amazed at the huge size of the acid water monster (a large mutant) in the distance.

Uribian said to Diwuan, "Captain, maybe it's because this dungeon is in an overflowing state that this kind of 'mutant' appeared." After saying that, he immediately took out his bow, and it was obvious that he was more nervous than before.

You Jiahui asked the adventure team behind her, "Is there anything different?" She felt that getting clear information could reduce risks.

Torsi replied to You Jiahui, "The illustrated book only says that the acid in this 'mutant' is stronger and has a higher probability of dropping materials. But it doesn't mention the fighting method at all, so it should be 'Renjutsu'." He could only guess what the illustrated book didn't say, but it did give You Jiahui some information.

After hearing this, You Jiahui nodded and drew her dagger.

Di Wuan stopped You Jiahui and said, "Sir Knight, that acid monster has stronger acid in its body, which is too threatening for close combat. You should take my shield." After saying that, he handed the shield forward.

You Jiahui politely declined Di Wuan's suggestion and said to him, "No need. The shield should be used to protect the 'Mage'. She is not wearing any protective gear." After that, she slowly walked towards the acid water monster (a large mutant).

The three members of the adventure team all felt that this made sense. They all increased their vigilance to ensure that Yang Mingyi would not be attacked.

You Jiahui walked forward alone, thinking in her mind, "Where the acid in that monster's body will splash must be related to the direction and angle of the sword swing. If I stab with the sword tip, the acid will be reflected and splashed directly at the person who attacks. I can't do that. Stabbing diagonally will still splash on my hands. Chopping diagonally? Just now, Torsi chopped from top to bottom. Although most of the acid splashed on the ground, it was inevitable that some splashed on his body. It seems that he also came up with the 'best answer' after fighting the acid monster many times." Thinking of this, she had made a decision to chop from top to bottom like Torsi just did.

You Jiahui had only walked forward for a moment when the acid monster (a large mutant) spotted her. She immediately charged forward upon sensing its movement. She knew full well that in a melee attack against a ranged opponent, the quicker the closer, the better.

The acid monster (a large mutant) immediately launched a chain of spells at You Jiahui while she was still charging forward. Its chain of spells differed from the previous acid monsters in the height at which they were cast. While the previous acid monsters' projectiles shot water droplets upward, this one shot water droplets downward.

The continuous "BiuBiu" and "BiuBiuBiu" sounds were heard, and the water droplets that appeared continued to spray towards You Jiahui.

While You Jiahui wasn't as nimble as Qi Xinyang, capable of sideways sliding and rolling, she was still capable of these subtle turns and evasions while running fast. Drops of water continuously brushed against her face, each one coming incredibly close, nearly hitting her face. In the blink of an eye, she dashed past the acid water monster (a large mutant) and arrived behind it. She instantly turned, flicking her sword wrist, and the blade effortlessly slashed downwards from above.

The sword struck the acid monster (a large mutant) squarely in the body, sending a large amount of acid spurting out, covering the ground. Its body only held out for a little longer than the previous acid monster, but soon began to collapse.

You Jiahui had already jumped back a long way, observing the changes in the acid monster (a large mutant). She had originally only wanted to strike it lightly to test the damage, and when she was about to move forward to strike again, she had no idea that the acid monster (a large mutant) would suddenly collapse on its own.

Everything happened so suddenly that the three members of the adventure team were stunned. They were marveling and cheering at You Jiahui's stunning dodging of all the magical attacks, when the next second, the acid monster (a large mutant) suddenly collapsed. They were all dumbfounded, unable to understand how this could have happened. How could a simple blow of a sword destroy the acid monster (a large mutant) just like that?

Torsi asked Di Wuan, "Captain, isn't it 'short sword proficiency', but 'hort sword mastery'?" When he first saw You Jiahui kill the sawtooth mantis with one sword, he guessed that You Jiahui's skill was "hort sword proficiency", and now he guessed that You Jiahui's skill was "hort sword mastery".

Di Wuan replied to Torsi, "It's possible, but also unlikely. The Knight is obviously a high-human. The 'dagger' skill is usually possessed by us dwarves, and we dwarves are better at it and can improve it more easily. And she has only been summoned for two months. It is impossible for her to reach the 'mastery level' in such a short time. What's going on..." After that, he stopped talking because he really couldn't figure it out.

Yang Mingyi was listening on the side. She originally wanted to explain to them, but she was afraid that You Jiahui would be angry, so she finally held back and said nothing.

You Jiahui was thinking alone at this time, thinking, "From the information I have now, it is the level of skills that determines the amount of damage to the monsters in the dungeon. No wonder that traitor Qi Xinyang can thrive in the dungeon, so this is how it is. But she has an advantage, that is, she does not need to take risks in close combat when killing monsters, as long as she has enough arrows. Humph! A little trick!" After thinking about it, she glanced at herself and found that the protective gear on her right hand was splashed with a little acid. The pink color painted on that small area disappeared, revealing the original color of the pig skin. After seeing this, her mood suddenly became bad, and she couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound. Then, she began to carefully check whether there were other places on her body that were splashed with acid.

Soon after, everyone else came to You Jiahui.

Yang Mingyi didn't know what You Jiahui was looking for on her body, so she followed her to look for it.

The three members of the adventure team looked at the monster glue on the ground together.

Torsi muttered, "There are quite a lot of acid monsters in this dungeon, and they are quite dense." After that, he looked at the winding passages in front and behind with concern.

Uribian said to Torsi, "It should be caused by the special environment of the Corpse Curtain Cave where this dungeon is located. Since large-sized 'mutants' have appeared, it goes without saying that there will definitely be acid water monsters gathered together." Then, he turned to Di Wuan and said, "Captain, what do you think?" He was a little hesitant, feeling that this dungeon was much more dangerous than other dungeons.

Di Wuan replied to Uribian, "Well. If we really encounter a gathering of acid monsters, we should retreat for the time being." He also felt that this dungeon was too dangerous.

You Jiahui said to everyone, "No need, we can still fight them if we encounter a gathering!" She thought to herself, "The traitor Qi Xinyang must have encountered a gathering before. It is impossible for him to conquer the dungeon without fighting it once. There must be some way to do it." She didn't know that the dungeons that Qi Xinyang had conquered before were all ordinary dungeons, not like the Corpse Curtain Cave where they were now, which was overflowing with monsters.

After hearing this, the three members of the adventure team all felt a boost in morale. After all, with a Holy Mage by their side, there was nothing to be afraid of. With this in mind, the three of them became even more careful in protecting Yang Mingyi during the subsequent exploration.

Yang Mingyi said to You Jiahui, "Jiahui! I remember Xinyang said that when she faced a gathering of monsters, she would shoot multiple arrows at the same time." When she heard people talking about the gathering of acid water monsters, she remembered the story Qi Xinyang had told her before about how they solved the problem at once.

After hearing this, You Jiahui slowly sheathed her dagger. She then crossed her arms, looking thoughtful.

After hearing this, Ulybian was shocked and asked Yang Mingyi, "Ah? Can this really be done?" He had never seen anyone do this before, let alone learned such a technique.

Yang Mingyi said to Ulybian, "You try it later!" After that, she continued to "search" on You Jiahui.

Uribian said to Yang Mingyi, "It's not appropriate to try it here. Let's go back and try again." He felt that Yang Mingyi was being a little too relaxed. If this new technique was not practiced for a period of time first, not to mention whether it would be successful, it might even cause accidental injuries to teammates.

Seeing that Yang Mingyi was "looking around" on her, You Jiahui frowned and asked her, "What are you doing?" It was obvious that she was a little unhappy on her face.

Yang Mingyi asked You Jiahui in confusion, "Weren't you looking for something on your body just now?" When she spoke, she had already stopped "searching" on You Jiahui's body.

You Jiahui glared at Yang Mingyi and said to her, "I was checking to see if any acid splashed on my body! You..." At this point, she was about to lose her temper on the spot, but fortunately she held herself back.

Yang Mingyi realized that she seemed very stupid, so she replied to You Jiahui, "Oh." After that, she took a step back with a silly smile.

After a while, Uribian picked up the monster glue and put it in his bag, and everyone continued on their way.
