Chapter 440: The Operation is About to Begin
"My first turn number is the highest, so I'll go first!"
The warrior Hyacinth rolled an exaggerated number and charged ahead.
"How far am I from becoming the city lord?"
"About twenty feet. At your speed, you can easily reach me," said Hellcat, who was playing the role of the city lord and also the observer.
"Then I'll move to within range of my weapons and attack the city lord!"
"Is it just a normal attack? I think it would be better to open up the battlefield. I can provide ranged support with magic," said the mage Iris.
"Ah, right, then I'll use my Whirlwind Slash skill to include the city lord and the desk in front of her in the attack range!"
The clatter of dice being thrown, the rising and falling voices of discussion, and the occasional bursts of laughter and groans created a very harmonious atmosphere for this dungeon adventure.
Su Tianqing explained the effects of attacks and spells, directed her familiars to adjust the scenery, and enjoyed the dungeon adventure.
Besides herself, Su Tianqing also saw someone unexpected.
"Next, it's Rabbit's turn to act."
"Oh, I have three servants here that I can command... I'll have them use magic fire arrows to interrupt Iris's spell focus."
"There are still three more! ... But I have mage armor that increases my armor level, so it can't interrupt my concentration." Iris was very calm.
"Low-level magic can't be interrupted, but the damage still has to be taken."
"Mmm..."
Cheshire Rabbit, Xia Taotao. She's quite lively in today's dungeon adventure.
First, he played the role of an NPC who shared information in a tavern, and then he commanded an NPC squad in the caravan raid and the conflict at the city lord's mansion, which attracted a lot of attention.
The usually timid and socially awkward bunny girl transforms into the Cheshire Bunny and can play games with everyone, showing no signs of her severe social anxiety.
This reminded Su Tianqing of another matter she had temporarily put aside—The Starry Night of Cheshire Rabbit.
The starkly different personality traits before and after the transformation made Su Tianqing sense something strange, which might be the key to breaking through.
Now that the first phase of the dungeon adventure is over, it's time to put Rabbit's new form on the agenda.
Although there might be a spectacular scene of four or five Star Shadows battling it out in Chengdu... wouldn't that be super fun?
Thinking of this, the fox girl revealed a joyful expression and excitedly described the battlefield environment to the audience:
"Hyacinth's surprise attack plunged the city lord's mansion into chaos! But with the help of magical artifacts Tian Nanxing collected from underground, the heroes successfully broke through the magical defenses bestowed upon the city lord by the Great Demon King Fox!"
"The office has turned into a fierce battlefield. Attendants are constantly trying to reinforce us, but the mage Iris's magic is preventing them from entering the office. She is determined to kill the city lord who has sided with the undead legion on the spot!"
"But just as the city lord's health dropped to 50%..."
Upon hearing Xin Yuehu utter this line, everyone suddenly felt something was amiss.
"Why the sudden emphasis on 50% health... Ah! Could it be...?"
"Heh heh heh, that's right, this is the magic bestowed upon me by the Great Demon King Fox!"
Hellcat read his lines from the script, and a strong magical aura emanated from his body, clearly indicating that a powerful spell was about to be unleashed!
"Ninth-Order Technique, [Mind Scream]!"
"Damn it, Iris! Use your magic to counter!"
"It's no use. My counterspell is only level three. It's impossible for me to counter such a high-level magic scroll."
"Hahaha! Just three more rounds and you'll all be crushed to dust by this powerful magic!"
.
The battle was intense, and everyone excitedly played their respective roles, completely immersed in this otherworldly adventure.
Hyacinth's direct assault, Arum's opportunistic sneak attacks, and Iris's magical attacks all rained down on the city lord wielding the magic scroll.
"By inflicting enough damage, we can interrupt the city lord's spellcasting concentration and stop this evil magic!"
"Then let me see just how unwavering your resolve is, brave warriors!"
Neither side would give an inch, throwing dice and reciting their lines, bringing the adventurous atmosphere to its peak.
The live stream chat was also somewhat skewed by everyone's enthusiastic acting:
【Hero, charge forth! Defeat the Great Demon King!】
Hyacinth's dice luck isn't great; she almost failed to break through defense twice in a row.
The poet's inspiration for the nightingale somewhat compensated for this.
Look at Arisaema, it's still emitting energy!
The first act ended when Hellcat, who played the city lord, collapsed while reciting his lines, and everyone was still in shock from the scene.
"After a fierce and arduous battle, the heroes interrupted the release of evil magic, killed the city lord who had sided with the undead army on the spot, and brought peace to the city."
"Although this peace will not last long, the resurgence of the undead army will inevitably affect Ashwood City. The heroes must find the Lich King's tomb as soon as possible and reinforce the seal."
"To find out what happens next... please look forward to Chapter Two of Dungeon Adventure~ Sweet dreams everyone~"
As the video ended, the chat window was filled with reluctant farewells, and then it quickly switched to a black screen chat mode.
Today's magical girl forum will definitely be filled with content related to today's dungeon adventure, and there might even be a lot of fan art.
Just thinking about all sorts of wonderful fanfiction that she would see in the next few days made Su Tianqing chuckle to herself.
"Everyone gave a fantastic performance today! Did you have fun?"
The fox spirit addressed the group watching the replay in the live stream's rest area.
"Because the script for this grand adventure is quite long, our production has only progressed to the first act. We hope everyone will participate in the production process from now on and feel free to share your brilliant ideas!"
"Okay—"
Everyone gave an affirmative answer, and even Black Alice, who was called Little Jack, showed a rare smile, indicating that it really hit her sweet spot.
After all, who hasn't imagined an adventure in a fantastical world?
After arranging the subsequent production process, just as everyone was about to disperse and go home, Xin Yuehu called out to Fenrir, who was about to activate a teleportation spell to leave.
"Doggy, can you wait a minute?"
"I've already said I'm a wolf!"
Fei Yelan was still very concerned about her race. After baring her teeth in protest, she stood obediently in place, watching the golden-haired fox girl walk towards her.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"It's not really anything important, it's just..."
Su Tianqing leaned closer to the gray wolf girl and whispered in her ear:
"Ye Lan, you and Tao Tao are quite close, right?"
"Hmm? Yes, I took her to Chongqing during winter break, and I've also been inviting her to go shopping at souvenir shops and concerts recently."
Fei Yelan tilted her wolf ears and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, it's nothing to hide; it's normal for friends to invite each other to play together.
But what came out of the fox girl's mouth next puzzled Fei Yelan.
"I want to ask you for a favor."
"If possible, could you please ask Tao Tao where she bought her first magical girl item?"
"The first item?... Why are you asking that?" Fei Yelan asked, puzzled.
The fox spirit revealed a pretty smile.
"I'm planning to give Tao Tao a little surprise~"
