Chapter 73: Illusions in a Different World Dungeon? - Fierce Battle!

In the previous chapter, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi followed the adventure team into the dungeon of Corpse Curtain Cave. While exploring the dungeon to obtain materials for a mid-level monster, they spotted a "treasure chest" through a crack in the wall. After failing to find the "treasure chest" by taking the right fork, they returned to the fork and took the left fork, hoping to continue their search. This left fork led them to encounter another high-level monster in the dungeon—Hundred Hands Flower.

Unlike the Hundred-Handed Flower in the Evergreen Ancient Cavern that Qi Xinyang had previously slain, the high-level "Hundred-Handed Flower" in this dungeon was slightly taller and larger, capable of absorbing a wider range of magical energy for its own use. In terms of sustained energy consumption among high-level monsters, even the "Inner Demon Tree" in the Evergreen Ancient Cavern couldn't match it. Furthermore, its weak point, "Long Legs," healed incredibly quickly after being injured. These characteristics made it unmatched by the Hundred-Handed Flower in the Evergreen Ancient Cavern.

You Jiahui's current strength was undoubtedly inferior to Qi Xinyang's, but she needed to outperform him to slay the Hundred-Handed Flower before her. This wasn't like her previous battles with the Ghost-Headed Bat, where she could slowly and systematically wear down its power. After all, the other party could sustain its power for much longer. Therefore, she had to take greater risks, exerting her full strength more frequently to inflict more damage to the Hundred-Handed Flower's weak points before they healed, ultimately defeating it completely. If she waited until her own strength was completely depleted, she would face certain death.

At this moment, You Jiahui was still fighting a duel with Baishouhua.

Originally, the Hundred-Handed Flower was using Wind Blade Technique to launch "inhumane" magic attacks on You Jiahui. However, after You Jiahui learned how to dodge and repeatedly attacked its weak point "long legs" at close range, it suddenly changed its strategy and began to use "long arms" to launch physical attacks.

This sudden change caught You Jiahui off guard. After narrowly dodging a series of physical attacks, the distance between her and the Hundred-Handed Flower was slightly increased. She was then forced to dodge the dense stream of air shot out by the Hundred-Handed Flower. While dodging, she was hit in the calf by the damaging airflow and fell. Fortunately, her protective gear protected her, otherwise her calf would have been broken on the spot. She immediately regrouped and sprinted to the left, dodging the magical attacks while also getting behind the Hundred-Handed Flower. She immediately unleashed her dual swords, slashing at the Hundred-Handed Flower's "long legs." Her long hair, which had been tied up, now flew loose after the long and intense battle, dancing in the air as she swung her swords.

At this point, the Hundred-Handed Flower needed to turn and adjust its direction to counterattack You Jiahui, but it couldn't catch up to You Jiahui, who was circling it and swinging her swords. After sustaining multiple wounds in its weak spots, it had no time to heal and was now in a critical state. Suddenly, it turned in the opposite direction and swept all of its "long arms" towards You Jiahui!

Facing another sudden attack, You Jiahui was already prepared. She knew full well that if she got close, the Hundred Hands Flower would definitely find a way to use its "Long Hands" to physically attack her again. She immediately switched from swinging back and forth diagonally to swinging back and forth at various angles.

The three members of the adventure team were stunned by the several changes in this duel. They were all silent, originally cheering, and were watching nervously.

Later, when Di Wuan saw You Jiahui running and waving two swords, he was confused and muttered, "This is... impossible..." Seeing You Jiahui's superb swordsmanship skills, he was speechless.

Torsi asked Ulybian, "This fighting style of running and wielding two swords seems to be... well, what is it? The Dual Sword Ranger?" He felt that Ulybian should know more than him and wanted to get the answer from Ulybian.

Ulybian suddenly showed joy on his face and said to his two teammates: "This must be the short sword mastery and long sword mastery, and it is also the very rare identification "Swordsman"! " They completely guessed wrong about You Jiahui's identification, and they believed it firmly.

After hearing this, Di Wuan muttered to himself, "I've only heard of the identification of this 'Swordsman', I've never actually seen him." At this point, he exclaimed in his heart, "The way he wields two weapons is so cool..." As he spoke, he rested his chin on the upper edge of his shield and continued to watch the duel in the distance.

Uribian said to Diwuan, "You can't be wrong! People who have this identification usually don't show it to others, and they only use dual swords when it is a matter of life and death. Think about the giant mantis before, she killed it easily without using dual swords, and she only used them when fighting high-level monsters in the dungeon. This proves that she is the one!" He was going further and further on the road of wrong cognition.

Someone with both longsword and shortsword skills is usually classified as a "Swordsman," which has an "Extra Dual Weapon Bonus." However, You Jiahui's classification wasn't "Swordsman," but "Brave," so she didn't have the "Extra Dual Weapon Bonus" to deal increased dual weapon damage to the Hundred Hands Flower in front of her.

Let’s look back at the ongoing duel on You Jiahui’s side.

All those "long arms" that the Hundred Hands Flower had swept towards You Jiahui were ruthlessly "chopped off" by You Jiahui's wielding swords. Although they were "chopped off," in reality, those "long arms" were simply dropped to the ground by You Jiahui's swords, and were not directly severed by the continuous swings of the swords.

You Jiahui batted away the long arms that swept in front of her while retreating continuously. Having already experienced this once, she knew that after the Hundred-Handed Flower's long arms had launched a physical attack, they would inevitably launch a magical attack. She could only continue to circle the Hundred-Handed Flower to avoid being hit by the magic, and continued to slash back and forth at the Hundred-Handed Flower's long legs.

After the Hundred-Handed Flower's "Long Hands" were knocked to the ground by You Jiahui after it swung to the left, its "Long Legs," its weakest point, were repeatedly slashed by You Jiahui. Many of the wounds on its "Long Legs" had not yet healed, but had deepened. The situation was truly critical. It immediately swung to the right and swung its "Long Hands" again, attacking You Jiahui.

However, You Jiahui had already guessed that the Hundred-Handed Flower would do this, and immediately swung back and forth to the right at various angles, and once again "cut off" all of the Hundred-Handed Flower's "long hands" one after another.

Furthermore, the Hundred Hands Flower, already suffering from numerous wounds, was noticeably more sluggish than before. Its turn to the right was smaller than its previous turn to the left, and the range of its "long arms" sweeping towards You Jiahui was significantly shorter. This was extremely fatal for it, as it gave You Jiahui more time to retaliate.

You Jiahui had no intention of continuing the fight, as her stamina was nearly exhausted and her body was overloaded. She immediately launched a series of back-and-forth attacks at the "long legs" of Bai Shou Hua until she was completely exhausted.

After the hundred-handed flower's "long legs" suffered repeated wounds, the wounds were so deep that they could no longer heal quickly, and even the giant flower on its head gradually wilted. Soon after, its "long legs" were broken off. And after the final blow, You Jiahui collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, dropping both swords.

When You Jiahui struggled to stand up again and looked at the Hundred Hands Flower lying on the ground, it was equivalent to declaring her victory!

After the fierce and noisy battle, the entire huge nest fell into silence again.

Although she had killed the Hundred-Handed Flower, You Jiahui felt no joy at all. Instead, her rage instantly turned to sadness. When she turned back to look in Yang Mingyi's direction, tears welled up in her eyes. Then, she knelt down, lowered her head, and said nothing.

The huge nest, which was originally as bright as day, became a little darker with the death of the hundred-handed flower.

She looked up and thought to herself, "The person is gone. I will be alone in this strange and alien world from now on. What can I use to remember him?" Then, she slowly stood up, not caring about the two swords that fell to the ground, and walked slowly towards the "dead" Yang Mingyi as if she had lost her soul.

You Jiahui arrived in front of Yang Mingyi and knelt helplessly. She looked at Yang Mingyi lying on the ground, her eyes tightly closed, motionless. She lowered her head, tears falling drop by drop. As she cried, she thought to herself, "It's all that damn Qi Xinyang's fault. If I hadn't wanted to catch up with her strength, I wouldn't have brought you here... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Torsi hadn't expected the friendship between You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi to be so deep. He felt a certain pain in his heart. He sighed and said to You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, don't be sad. The mage just fainted."

You Jiahui was stunned after hearing this and questioned Torsi, saying, "Huh?" She wondered if she was too sad and upset that she misheard what Torsi said.

Torsi also hurriedly said to You Jiahui: "The wizard just injured his ear..." He then explained to You Jiahui in detail the specific cause and effect of the incident.

You Jiahui then realized that Yang Mingyi's ear had been sliced ​​open by the damaging jet of air from the Hundred Hands Flower, causing the bleeding and fainting. Upon discovering that Yang Mingyi's ear was fine, Uribian immediately cleaned the blood from it and waited for her to regain consciousness.

You Jiahui recalled her actions and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. She stood up and, with a forced expression of composure, said to the three members of the adventure team, "I'll go see if that monster left anything useful..." Before she could finish, she turned around and walked back to the place where Baishouhua had fallen.

You Jiahui returned to the spot where the Hundred-Handed Flower had fallen, but it had already dissipated, and nothing could be seen left. She thought to herself, "It would be a bit awkward to go back now. Why not just stay here a little longer..." With that thought in mind, she squatted down and pretended to be searching for the monster's remaining materials.

You Jiahui stared at the spot where the Hundred Hands Flower had fallen, stunned for a moment. Then, she brushed her long hair back and used her hands to move the plants on the ground. It was during these few attempts that she finally spotted something strange. She took it in her hands and examined it, muttering, "This shouldn't be some kind of monster material, it's just an ordinary vine. It's a bit hard, and the shape seems like it could be used as a 'hairpin'!" With that, she simply rolled up her long hair and tied it up with the "hairpin" in her hand.

Afterwards, You Jiahui continued to squat there and dawdled, pretending to check whether there were any remaining materials of the Hundred-Handed Flower on the ground beside her.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Mingyi finally woke up on the other side.

Torsi asked Yang Mingyi softly, "Master, how do you feel?" He was the first to discover that Yang Mingyi was waking up.

Uribian quickly took out the water bag and fed Yang Mingyi some water.

After Yang Mingyi drank a sip of water, she instantly became sober and sat up immediately as if she had just resurrected from the dead.

Although Yang Mingyi's reaction was the second time, it still startled Uribian, who had seen it for the second time. Not to mention Di Wuan and Torsi, who were seeing it for the first time, they were also shocked.

Yang Mingyi asked Ulybian, "Did I faint again?" She had fainted once before at the Ghost-Headed Bat's place.

Uribian looked at Yang Mingyi and nodded quickly.

Then, Yang Mingyi spotted You Jiahui in the distance and realized the fight was over. She felt bad she hadn't seen it all. She asked the others, "She's already done fighting, why is she still squatting there?" Her face was filled with confusion.

Torsi shook his head and replied to Yang Mingyi, "I don't know. He said he was looking for monster materials and has been looking for a long time."

Yang Mingyi was curious and muttered to herself, "Did you see something so good that you were fascinated by it? Let me see!" After saying that, she immediately got up from the ground and rushed over.
