Since the system became my girlfriend

Since Su Rui's mission this time wasn't to grind monsters, he didn't linger here for too long, taking advantage of his high magic damage.

With the corpses guarding him, Su Rui fought his way through the densely packed monster area and headed straight for the entrance to Mine No. 4.

At the entrance to Mine No. 4, there was a campfire, and four gnolls stood near it: two melee gnoll warriors, one ranged gnoll ranger, and the other, Su Rui's quest target—the gnoll wizard.

"These four monsters are standing a bit too close together..." After arriving near the campfire, Su Rui frowned. The four gnolls were very close together, and it would be almost impossible to separate them and lure them over.

“Then let’s kill them together. You just need to have the corpse guards control the aggro, and I’ll heal them!” Feng Lixi said from the side.

“Okay!” Su Rui nodded. If he were doing the quest himself, this place would indeed be difficult to handle, but because he had the priest Feng Lixi by his side, dealing with four small monsters at the same time was no longer a problem.

At this moment, Su Rui was using the corpse of a gnoll warrior as a guard. These melee monsters have a strong ability to generate aggro. As long as each enemy gets hit once, Feng Lixi can safely heal.

"Let's clear out a battlefield first!" Su Rui was afraid that dealing with these four small monsters would attract other small monsters, so he and Feng Lixi first killed all the small monsters in a small area around them.

In this way, there were no troublesome monsters around Su Rui and his group.

“I’m going to go!” Su Rui said to Feng Lixi.

"Okay!" Feng Lixi nodded, then raised her small hand and fully restored the Corpse Guard's health. At the same time, she also cast a shield on the Corpse Guard that could absorb damage.

"Charge!" Su Rui waved his hand, and the corpse guards rushed towards Su Rui's target, the gnoll wizard.

"Whoosh!" The Corpse Guardian inherited the Gnoll Warrior's skills, so after getting close to the Gnoll Wizard, it suddenly accelerated and crashed into the Gnoll Wizard, stunning him for a second.

At this moment, Su Rui was casting Shadow Bolt while controlling the Corpse Guard to attack the three small monsters around him. Under Su Rui's control, the Corpse Guard slashed at each of the small monsters once. At this moment, Su Rui's Shadow Bolt also landed on the head of the Gnoll Wizard.

-455!

Because the gnoll wizard is a spellcaster class, he has high magic resistance and is five levels higher than Su Rui, so Su Rui's spell damage is greatly reduced.

Corrosion!

(resistance!)

Not only was the damage of Shadow Bolt greatly reduced, but due to the large level difference, Su Rui's spells also had a high chance of being resisted by the opponent. This resistance was a probability-based reduction of spell damage, which was similar to evasion in physical attacks, and could completely ignore the damage and effects of the attack.

Because Corruption has a three-second cooldown, Su Rui had no choice but to continue casting Shadow Bolt!

-65! (Absorption)

-58! (Absorption)

-57!

-225!

Just as Su Rui was casting Shadow Bolt, four gnolls were also attacking Su Rui's corpse guard. The attacks from the other three monsters were not too bad, but the attacks from the gnoll wizard were terrifying. Its spell damage was actually able to deal more than 200 damage to Su Rui's corpse guard.

Keep in mind that Su Rui's corpse guard only had a little over 1,200 health points. Under such an attack, it couldn't possibly last more than a few rounds!

+185!

+55

+55

Just then, Feng Lixi made her move. She first used a quick heal to restore about 200 health points to the Corpse Guardian, and then added a continuous health regeneration effect to the Corpse Guardian.

With Kazeki joining the battle, the Corpse Guard's health was basically under control.

At this point, Su Rui could focus on killing monsters. He kept casting Shadow Bolt, and once the Corruption spell was off cooldown, he placed one on the heads of all the monsters.

Although spell resistance occasionally occurred, the gnoll wizard's health quickly dwindled. Although spell-type monsters deal high damage, they are still just ordinary monsters, so it didn't last long before falling to Su Rui's Shadow Arrow.

Meanwhile, the other three gnoll minions also lost about a third of their health due to the Corruption spell, and Su Rui, in coordination with the Corpse Guard, quickly took them down!

"Phew... It's finally over!" Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle wasn't dangerous, it still consumed a lot of mana.

After walking a few steps to the campfire, Su Rui first picked up the coins and cloth dropped by the monsters, and then began searching for developing potions in the jars behind the gnoll wizard.

"Huh? Why isn't it here?" Su Rui quickly searched the gnoll wizard's belongings thoroughly, but found no developing agent...

"Could there be other gnoll wizards?" Su Rui asked doubtfully.

"What's that?" Feng Lixi asked, seeing that Su Rui couldn't find the key point.

"Huh?" Su Rui followed Feng Lixi's finger and saw a small medicine bottle in the middle of the jars. The medicine bottle was very small and hidden in the gap between the two jars. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

"Developing agent!" Su Rui reached out and touched it, and sure enough, he got the prompt, but he couldn't pick up the bottle of developing agent.

"Try opening it!" Feng Lixi continued to suggest.

"Hmm!" Su Rui opened the bottle directly, and a plume of white smoke shot into the sky!

"What's going on?!" Su Rui was so startled that he took two steps back, and then he realized that the scenery around him had suddenly changed.

The once desolate mine, which had been occupied by jackals, suddenly became bustling with activity. Many human miners were going in and out of the mine, while soldiers dressed in Xuanwu City uniforms were guarding it.

"This is... footage from the past?" Su Rui suddenly realized that the developing agent had clearly taken effect.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Su Rui spotted a familiar figure among the soldiers on guard duty—Sansas!

The governor of Donghai Town was just a lowly soldier at the time. He was stationed near the mine and was responsible for supervising the miners to prevent them from hoarding gold nuggets.

"Kill!" Just then, with a roar, a group of people with red turbans suddenly emerged from behind the distant hillside. There were many of them, conservatively estimated to be several hundred.

At this time, there were only about a hundred soldiers from Xuanwu City surrounding the mine.

"Enemy attack!" Someone shouted, and in an instant, all the Xuanwu City soldiers drew their weapons, preparing to fight off the attacking enemy. Only Sansas hid in the mine, craning his neck to look out...
