Chapter 54 - Earthworm

I'm dizzy! This guy Baxter has so many good things in his hands. He has at least 20 or so gold equipment items, worth over 100 gold coins.

Baxter smiled: "My little brother has a very high luck value. Before, when we fought bosses and higher-level monsters, although we didn't fight as fast, we still got quite a lot of stuff. Later, we formed a team with Fire Lord Wang and fought dark demon snakes in this cave. We even got a golden glove."

Dizzy! Even at level 39, the ordinary monsters can drop a silver item after a day of killing. It's already a stroke of luck. But it could also drop a gold item. Even the experts in the forum who post about the wind conditions haven't heard of this. This is really extraordinary luck!

Baxter continued: "That platinum ring was actually dropped by the Blue Demon. Without my brother's luck value, it wouldn't have appeared. But Fire Lord Wang thought it was random and had nothing to do with my brother. He only gave us a small amount of money. So, we no longer wanted to team up with him."

Benajah was wearing a whole set of golden equipment in front of us at this moment. The four elemental monsters summoned immediately seemed much more imposing. We were really envious because none of us, including White Feather, had a full set of golden equipment at this point.

We all gathered around Baxter to look at the equipment in his hands. Baxter said it wasn't expensive. Six gold coins were the same price, a little lower than the market price. Eventually, White Feather bought the golden glove, the Tiger King bought a golden shield, and the Wind Monitor bought a priest's hat. Honey didn't have money, but because of his contribution in rescuing the Sacred Deer set, he insisted that I pay for him to buy a golden knight suit and a pair of golden boots.

I bought a golden flute. The performance effect increased by 40%, and the transmission range increased by 3.

Baxter asked curiously: "Can you use this thing? Do you know what it is? This... This is not a magic wand or a staff!"

I was dizzy: "Isn't this a flute? Do you think I'm illiterate?"

Almost everyone looked at me. Honey scratched his head: "Brother, don't say like this. None of us know, what did you say, 'nose'?"

I fainted again. The Jew didn't talk about him anymore. Could it be that the young people in China of this era have forgotten our national musical instruments... After everything was settled, we slowly descended to the fourth floor.

We thought the cave was very dark, but when we came down, we found that it was as bright as day. It was the light emitted by countless gems!

The small hill composed of gems in front of us was as high as a large house. All kinds of fantastic lights were dazzling and brilliant, not just red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but also countless namesless colors. Moreover, the various lights mixed together and kept changing, like countless eyes blinking alternately. The dust in the cave was also illuminated by the gem light, flowing slowly in the air, making it seem as if we were in a dreamlike and magical world.

No wonder Baxter was so enthusiastic to come down to fight the boss. There were so many gems in this cave. Not only the Jews, but none of us present wasn't stunned and drooling. Of course, White Feather's saliva was in his mouth and we couldn't see it.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, scattering the gems all over the ground. Then, a huge snake head appeared in front of us.

Investigation result: "Dragon, unknown level boss, growth type, dark element, other unknown."

System prompt: "There is a monster beyond your level by ten levels. It's extremely dangerous. Please be careful..."

The dark gray head of the dragon was like a person with a very long face, and it was a very ugly one. One glance made you feel disgusted.

The dragon's body dragged on the ground for a long distance, with no tail visible. It was at least several tens of meters long. The standing body alone was three meters high. The dark black skin was in pieces like turtle shells, but the surface seemed to have fish scales, which made me think: It's not easy to climb... I originally planned to follow the old method, finding an opportunity to climb behind the boss's head and use the animal training and blood suction techniques. However, looking at the slippery skin and the bare head of the creature, I'm afraid I have to give up.

Baxter roared loudly, casting the Light of the God and the Life of the God on himself, and charged forward first.

Unexpectedly, just now he was pretending to be a merchant and selling us equipment, but now he has turned into a fanatical warrior. We all froze.

Benajah smiled awkwardly: "My brother is like this. He can't bear the light of precious things... Usually it's fine, but there are just too many things here today..."

Before he could finish his words, Benajah also ran up and commanded his four elemental pets to attack the dragon.

The Tiger King and Honey didn't want to lag behind either. The Tiger King gathered his strength and charged directly towards the dragon, even before Baxter.

With a loud bang, the Tiger King hit the dragon's abdomen and passed a number through it.

"-1!"

The Tiger King was sent flying back by the impact and still felt dizzy when he got up. After a little while, he managed to stand firm and stopped for a moment. Suddenly, he shouted: "Run!"

Baxter shouted: "My auxiliary skill is of the Light type, and it will surely break its defense!"

Baxter's long sword pierced through the dragon's body, and another "-1" appeared. Baxter's sword almost slipped out, and he retreated in shock.

Benajah's four pets were even worse. When they hit the dragon, they showed "MISS".

The Golden Arrow of Bai Yu and my Fireball also arrived. They showed the same "-1".

Honey saw this situation and also turned and ran. Behind him were Baxter's two brothers.

Baxter shouted as he ran: "Tiger King, you were so fierce just now, why was it you who ran first?"

The Tiger King didn't turn his head back: "After being rebounded by this guy once, my gold-level equipment lost one-fifth of its durability. Can I not run?"

Everyone was an experienced veteran, and such scenes weren't the first time they encountered. The level difference was too great, and there was no slightest chance of winning. Then, without any hesitation, there was only one word: "Run."

However, everything went dark suddenly, and the dragon's body flew past from the air and landed in front of us. It turned around and gave us a sinister smile. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The dragon's head had basically blocked the entrance, and there was no way to escape.

I don't know what level this dragon is, but it's definitely not below level 45. Both physical and magical defenses are extremely high, and agility far exceeds ours. Intelligence is also not low. It seems that we are doomed.

Baxter probably didn't figure out the dragon's level either. He just used common sense to judge. The Dark Demon Snake above is level 39, and the boss won't be above them by more than six levels. But this one clearly doesn't fit this common sense.

When the dragon passed by just now, its rear body also crashed towards our heads. "Elegant 83" has the lowest agility and the slowest reaction, and it didn't dodge in time, and was instantly crushed.

Everyone was once again desperate. The dragon hadn't even launched an attack yet, but just touching us had already killed a player with over 200 health. What was there to play for?

I suddenly turned around and ran towards the pile of gems.

Benajah and Honey were the first to realize it: "Brother, you're strong. Even at the end, you still want to grab a handful of gems. How could we not think of that?"

However, they were only a little slower than me. The dragon had roared and turned around, flying to the front of the gems, and sprayed a black mist at us.

Fortunately, the dragon didn't use something like Fireball. The speed at which the black mist spread was indeed slower. I side-stepped to the side, and the others retreated, all avoiding the black mist.

Seeing that Honey and his companions seemed to still want to rush forward, I couldn't help but curse loudly: "You still don't run! You really think I'm here to collect gems? I want to help you distract it!"

Everyone finally realized and ran towards the entrance, but suddenly, everyone's footsteps seemed to become unsteady.

It was black fog. Although the fog had dissipated, the smell had already made their bodies feel weak.

My body was not severely affected yet. It seemed that the 30% dark resistance in my body had played a role.

What should we do now? We must attract the attention of the dragon, but we can't be killed by it. Otherwise, it won't achieve the purpose of delaying time.

What abilities do I have? My mind was racing. Ah, it's because I have too many skills. I can't finish checking them all in a short time. Let's just pick one randomly. The first thing that came to mind was the newly bought flute, a golden-level one. I used it.

While taking out the flute, I ran towards the side of the dragon, drawing its attention towards me.

Although I knew nothing about flutes in reality, once I used the "Playing Technique" and "Method of Playing Wind Instruments", even a music blind person could become a master.

When "The Prayer Melody" was played, the dragon stared at me blankly, as if it was truly moved by my music. Great! I remembered the legend of Indians playing flutes to make snakes dance (that instrument is called "Spingi"). This dragon was not much different from a snake, was it?

I played various tunes with great effort, waving my hands repeatedly to signal everyone to run quickly. However, to prevent the dragon from seeing everyone, I had to run in the opposite direction, that is, the rear side of the dragon.

These were experienced players. The Tiger King and his team knew they couldn't help me. Everyone escaped one by one. Finally, they all dragged their heavy steps out of the cave.

The last one to come out was Baxter. He stared at the entrance for a long time, confirming that my flute sound couldn't make the dragon fall asleep. Then he left. But before leaving, he remembered something and turned around to shout: "Friend, snakes' ears have poor hearing. They listen with their bellies!" I was stunned. It seemed that this was really the case. After all this time, I was just blowing into a deaf person. The dragon was just curious about what I was doing, not moved by my music!

Sure enough, the dragon seemed to have discovered my intention to divert its attention. As soon as it looked back, the others were gone. Immediately, its eyes bulged, and the cave began to vibrate. I felt a chill in my heart. It was time to use my ultimate move. I was doomed...
