What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 75: How to choose in the otherworldly dungeon? Fierce battle! Another new battlefield.

In the previous chapter, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi followed the adventure team into the underground city of Corpse Curtain Cavern for the first time. After slaying numerous monsters, they didn't obtain the mid-level monster materials they sought. Therefore, the next morning, they returned to the underground city to continue their exploration.

Having already visited this dungeon yesterday, their exploration progress was much faster today. They knew exactly where the monsters would be, and they were able to clear them out quickly. They easily passed the area with a large number of "acid monsters." Just like yesterday, they took the left fork and arrived at a shallow area with "speed swimmers." In the shallow water, they found the speed swimmers they had killed yesterday.

Since today's speedster obviously has no memory of yesterday's, they don't know whether yesterday's and today's speedsters are the same.

At this moment, You Jiahui had been fighting with the speed monster for quite a while. She had no way to deal with the speed monster's hard "paddle", and all her attacks were blocked by the speed monster's "paddle".

After several rounds of ineffective first attacks, You Jiahui retreated a few steps to wait for her strength to recover. However, the fast-swimming monster didn't give her a chance to breathe and immediately closed in on her.

The stern of the fast-swimming monster "sat" directly on the water surface, and used its lower limbs "oars" to paddle in the shallow water, turning its body directly. Then, it used the sharp edges of the two "oars" on its upper limbs to cut You Jiahui horizontally.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for You Jiahui. The speedster was already shorter than her, and now it was "sitting" on the surface, with a relatively long "bow." From her current vantage point, she could only strike the speedster's hard prow. If she attacked in that manner, not only would she inflict little effective damage, but her legs would also likely be sliced ​​by the speedster's "paddle." Therefore, she had no way to fight back and could only retreat.

At that moment, Eurypian, not far from the battlefield, finally took action. He had already crouched down, lowering himself. With a fully drawn bowstring, he released his arrow, aiming for the swift-swimming monster's weak spot—the hull!

The speedster was still spinning, completely unaware of the arrows being fired at it. The arrow had pierced its "hull" before being thrown off again as it spun.

Uribe said, "Isn't the hull the weak point? This is clearly because the arrowhead didn't penetrate deep enough. Could it be because it's rotating..." He couldn't understand why this happened. He immediately calmed himself, took a deep breath, and quickly fired a series of arrows. This was his archery technique - rapid fire!

The speedster reacted after being struck by an arrow. Although still spinning, it didn't continue its advance towards You Jiahui. Instead, it rotated in place, as if searching for its attacker. This pause gave Uribian the opportunity to use his "Rapid Fire" attack. A series of "whoosh" sounds echoed, and arrows continuously struck the spinning "hull."

Taking advantage of this opening, You Jiahui retreated five steps. This was her maximum distance; any further wouldn't have stopped the speedster's water movement spell in time. She waited for the opportunity to attack again, pondering how to break through the speedster's defenses.

At this time, Yang Mingyi and the other two members of the adventure team had come behind You Jiahui.

Because they were running in shallow water, the sound was too obvious. As soon as You Jiahui heard them running, she knew they were behind her. She immediately sheathed her dagger, turned sideways, and reached out to Torsi, who was holding the shield. "Give me the shield," she said, then turned back to observe the speedster's movements.

Torsi hurriedly handed over the shield, and You Jiahui also took it.

At this time, You Jiahui was holding a long sword in her right hand and a shield in her left hand, ready to attack the fast-swimming monster again.

Di Wuan also stood beside You Jiahui, holding a hatchet in his right hand and a shield in his left. He immediately entered a fighting state.

Torsi, who had nothing in his hands, took Yang Mingyi and retreated to Ulybian's position. At this time, Ulybian had also shot all the arrows in his quiver.

Although the swift-swimming monster's "hull" was pierced with arrows, it quickly shed them all due to its own rotation. It stopped spinning only after realizing no more arrows were being fired at it. Only then did everyone see that its "hull" was covered in numerous small black spots, apparently the holes left by the arrows shot by Eurypian.

Eurypian looked at the water covered with his own arrows, his face showing a look of helplessness. He sighed and lowered his head again.

Just as the fast-swimming monster stopped, Di Wuan saw the opportunity, immediately raised his shield and rushed forward to perform his shield technique - "Wild Charge"!

The fast-swimming monster also reacted quickly. When he saw Di Wuan holding up his shield and about to hit him, he immediately raised his two "oars" to block it, intending to compete with Di Wuan in brute strength.

With a "bang", Di Wuan's shield and the "oar" of the fast-swimming monster collided extremely violently!

Just as the fast-swimming monster was competing with Di Wuan in brute strength, he forgot that there was another person, and that person was You Jiahui!

At the same time, the next second after this "violent collision", You Jiahui, who had been lying in ambush behind Di Wuan, suddenly rushed out from the right and pierced the left side of the fast-swimming monster's body with his long sword!

The fast-swimming monster was not given any time to react or resist, and this sword naturally killed it in one blow!

After successfully striking the target, You Jiahui quickly retreated several steps. She was afraid that the fast-swimming monster would fight back fiercely before dying, and she was very cautious and held her shield in defense.

After watching You Jiahui's actions, Di Wuan immediately understood what she meant. He slowly stepped back a few steps and waited with You Jiahui for the death of the speedster.

You Jiahui was still trying to figure out how to break through the speed monster's defenses alone, but Di Wuan's timely arrival made everything much easier. She then began to think about other things...

Yang Mingyi and the other two members of the adventure team saw that the battle not far away seemed to be over, and they also walked over one after another.

They stood there, watching, waiting for the swift-swimmer's corpse to dissipate. They all hoped to quickly gather the remaining monster materials. With the materials for the intermediate-level monster, their mission would be complete.

After a while, the body of the speedster finally disappeared, and everyone was disappointed. They didn't see any materials for the intermediate monster again. After they killed the speedster here yesterday, they also didn't see any monster materials left, and the same thing happened today.

Eurypian then began to collect his arrows. He would shake out the water from each arrow he picked up, then wipe it with the towel in his pocket before putting it back into the quiver.

Di Wuan said to You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, there is still no monster material." After saying that, he shook his head.

You Jiahui said to Di Wuan, "There's no other way, we can only continue exploring." Then, she turned to Yang Mingyi and asked, "Mingyi, does that monster's water movement only allow it to move forward and not backward?" She had been thinking about this problem just now. When she came here yesterday, the fast-swimming monsters she encountered always rushed forward with the bow of the boat.

Yang Mingyi replied to You Jiahui, "Yes." After that, she nodded to confirm.

You Jiahui made a "tsk" sound and blamed Yang Mingyi, saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" She looked a little unhappy.

Yang Mingyi defended herself to You Jiahui, saying, "You didn't ask." After saying that, she felt very wronged.

After rolling her eyes at Yang Mingyi, You Jiahui asked her, "Has that traitor ever seen this kind of fast-swimming monster?" The "traitor" she was referring to was Qi Xinyang.

Yang Mingyi suddenly remembered and said to You Jiahui, "Oh, right. I would have forgotten if you hadn't asked me. The fast-swimming monsters that Xinyang mentioned are all blue. This is different from what we see. The ones here are white. But they also bump around like ships..." As she spoke, she pouted and began to recall.

You Jiahui widened her eyes and questioned Yang Mingyi, saying, "Since you have such important information about the speed-swimmer monster, why didn't you tell me before? I was still guessing how this monster would attack." When she thought about how Yang Mingyi didn't tell her in advance yesterday that the speed-swimmer monster would charge like a boat, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

Yang Mingyi answered You Jiahui in a slightly coquettish tone, saying: "Oh, the name is too hard to remember, I couldn't think of it for a moment. And the color is different, I thought it was a different monster." After that, she spread out her hands and shook her head.

You Jiahui was furious at the moment and said to Yang Mingyi, "Since you know so much information about monsters, if you see other monsters later, please remember them carefully and don't miss any important information from me." As she spoke, she pinched Yang Mingyi's cheek.

Yang Mingyi said to You Jiahui, "Okay, okay. Stop pinching it, it's almost deformed." Because her cheeks were pinched, her voice was unclear.

After hearing this, You Jiahui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She immediately let go of her hand and said to Yang Mingyi, "You haven't had plastic surgery, so why would you change? Alas..." As she spoke, she put her hands on Yang Mingyi's shoulders, lowered her head and sighed.

You Jiahui really couldn't do anything about Yang Mingyi, so she returned the sword in her hand to Torsi and continued walking forward.

Torsi said to Yang Mingyi, "Yes. If you had told us in advance, we wouldn't have been in such a mess yesterday." Thinking about the violent shock in the channel yesterday, he was still scared.

Yang Mingyi said to Torsi, "Oh, I just said that the colors are different. Who would have thought that it is the same monster. It's also because the name of the monster is too strange. When Xinyang mentioned the name before, I didn't remember it." After that, she slowly followed behind You Jiahui.

Di Wuan glanced at the hidden passage he had entered yesterday and sighed. He was still upset that he hadn't found the "treasure chest."

So they continued to explore forward.

As they walked, the passage they passed through became wider and wider. Then, they came to a larger area with many stone pillars connecting the upper and lower parts, and the sound of dripping water. The environment here was a little different from the passage, the only thing the same was that it was still a shallow area.

You Jiahui stopped walking immediately and turned back to Uribian, saying, "I feel the same level of depression as before. Do you feel any different?" She looked around, observing the changes in her surroundings. Besides the sound of water dripping, the only sound was their conversation.

Uribian didn't say anything. After a while, he replied to You Jiahui, saying, "It feels like we are very close to the monsters. But unlike the high-level monsters we met yesterday, there is no such extremely strong sense of oppression." Although the monsters here were not high-level monsters, he still nervously took out his bow.

After hearing what Eurypian said, the others slowly drew their weapons.

You Jiahui, dagger in her right hand and shield in her left, slowly explored forward. Just as she reached the center, she suddenly spotted a monster to her right. It looked remarkably familiar—it was still a "speed swimmer," but noticeably larger. She immediately raised her hand to signal the others behind her to stop and pointed to the location of the large speed swimmer.

Yang Mingyi took one look at the large, speed-swimming monster and suddenly felt a little frightened, completely pausing to move. She thought to herself, "The small ones are already so difficult to deal with, this big one is even scarier..." With that thought, she immediately gripped her short staff tightly.

Eurypian, not to mention, was already sweating profusely. He quickly wiped the sweat off his face with his hands, and hurriedly took out an arrow from his quiver and put it on the bowstring.

Di Wuan whispered to You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, what should we do? Should we fight?" He was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should continue forward to look for other mid-level monsters, or deal with the monster in front of him.

You Jiahui was also a little hesitant. After all, there were definitely other mid-level monsters ahead. But she felt uncomfortable seeing them and not clearing them out.

Yang Mingyi knew You Jiahui well enough to immediately realize she was likely staying behind to fight. She quietly walked away from the large, speed-swimmer monster, finding a nearby stone pillar where she could hide. Torsi followed her, but neither of them had protective gear, so they couldn't withstand a single charge from the speed-swimmer.

Just when You Jiahui was still hesitating, the large fast-swimming monster suddenly moved first!
