Chapter 123 Protective Ring
Brook returned to the Land of Decision and teleported all the way to the entrance of the Red Moon Demon Cave. He had memorized the coordinates of this route before, so he arrived at his destination quickly.
Many monsters gathered at the entrance to the Crimson Moon Demon Cave through the secret passage in the valley. The narrow path made the monsters appear numerous. Brook found a spot and pulled Bayin and the other two over, then the three of them worked together to clear out the surrounding monsters.
"Bayin, your fire wall is amazing," Xiao Shuai praised. Even if the experience points from burning spiders here were split evenly among the three of them, it would already be as good as his solo training in the Centipede Cave.
"The spider's magic defense is too high and it doesn't burn fast enough. Moreover, the spider has a lot of health but relatively little experience, so it's not cost-effective to level up here. We usually level up in the Demon Sealing Valley, where the speed is faster." Bayin said.
"What are the monsters in the Demon Sealing Valley?" Xiao Shuai asked.
"They're mainly Stone Tomb Monsters, various wild boars, scorpion snakes, wedge moths, black evil maggots, and so on. The monsters are densely packed, so no one's fighting over them. The Demon Sealed Valley should be open in a few days."
"Oh. Stone Tomb Monsters...Are there a lot of monsters in the Stone Tomb Formation? And are there merchants?" Xiao Shuai asked again.
"Well. The Stone Tomb has 29 rooms, 4 of which are merchant rooms. You can buy medicine, repair weapons and equipment, and even perform special repairs. It's a pity that you can't sell equipment. The other 25 rooms are full of monsters. The size of the room is almost twice as large as the demon altar just now. If the number of monsters is maxed out, there will be 200 of them." Brook said.
"Great! Then I'm going to level up in the Stone Tomb Formation," Xiao Shuai said. Being able to buy medicine and repair equipment was enough for him. Once inside, there was no need to exit. While there wasn't a mage's fire wall, the advantage was the constant flow of monsters, making it much more efficient than in the Centipede Cave.
There was another important reason. He heard that Overlord was often leveling up on the 7th floor of the Stone Tomb. If he was leveling up in the Stone Tomb formation, he could take some time to go to the 7th floor of the Stone Tomb. He might have a chance to kill Overlord and get the Paralysis Ring back.
As they were talking, they had already cleared out all the monsters near the entrance.
Brook drew a simple map on the ground and said, "Inside is the Crimson Moon Demon Cave, which is slightly larger than the Demon Altar. The Crimson Moon Demon is located in this direction. It uses group physical attacks, covering the entire map except for the farthest lower left corner. The entrance also happens to be on the left side."
Brook pointed at the map and explained to Xiaoshuai and the others.
"The Red Moon Demon has 5000 HP, 50-85 attack power, 18 defense, and 30 magic defense. We will use the safest way to fight it later..." Brook gave a detailed explanation, and Bayin and Xiao Shuai nodded in agreement.
Ready. Brook drank a bottle of stamina-boosting holy water, temporarily increasing his health by 50 points. He then entered the Crimson Moon Cave and immediately ran to the right front. While drinking the healing potion, he braved the attacks of minions and Crimson Moon Demons, forcibly luring the minions around the entrance to the right. He was quickly surrounded, and with his health low, he headed back to the city.
Bayin pulled Brook back to the secret passage in the valley.
Originally, Xiao Shuai would have been the most suitable person to lure the monsters, but unfortunately, he was now a highly acclaimed player. If he returned to the city, he would be sent to the Alliance Village, which would automatically cause him to be removed from the group. Brook had no choice but to do it himself.
Brook recovered his status, ran in again, and continued to run to the right. If he was blocked, he would move randomly and slowly lead the monsters at the door to the right. When his health was low, he would go back to the city directly.
"Where did you get your return stone?" Xiao Shuai chatted with Bayin and learned that the return stone was not afraid of the paralysis and petrification of the Moon Demon Spider.
"The owner of Beech's grocery store. Try asking him for the quest, he should still have some."
"Oh~ Okay, thanks." Xiao Shuai also really needed this Return Stone. Although the quest wasn't available every day, as long as he asked around, there would always be a chance to claim it.
Brook was pulled back to the secret passage in the valley again.
"Alright, the monsters at the door and in the left corner have been lured away. Bayin, come in."
Bayin walked in, followed by Brook and Xiao Shuai. As soon as the three of them walked in, they were poked by the Red Moon Demon's ground spike, but they ignored it; there were no monsters within 3 yards of the door, so the three of them took the opportunity to run to the left corner.
Sure enough, the lower left corner will not be attacked by ground spikes.
The spiders sensed the presence of humans and all gathered towards the lower left corner. Brook summoned Xiaobai and took position, while Bayin began to release a wall of fire.
"Artifact...I sense that the Red Moon Demon has a divine artifact." Xiaobai suddenly said.
Brook was shocked that Xiaobai could actually sense the artifact!
"What kind of artifact is it?" Brook asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it. But that kind of power is indeed magical, just like the teleportation ring and the paralysis ring." Xiaobai said.
Brook exhaled. It was an artifact he had never seen before, neither a teleportation ring nor a paralysis ring. Xiaobai had seen both of these.
"Brook, what artifact are you talking about?" Xiao Shuai asked. He and Bayin could not hear Xiaobai's voice.
"I mean, this Red Moon Demon might be able to drop a divine weapon." Brook said.
Although the monster possessed artifacts, it wasn't certain they would drop. If a warrior from another world was carrying a certain piece of equipment, killing him wouldn't guarantee it would drop, but if a Marfa monk died, all of it would drop. It wasn't known what kind of monster this was.
Brook thought for a moment and said, "Among the three of us, Xiao Shuai should have the best luck. Later, when the Red Moon Demon has 500 HP left, Xiao Shuai, you will kill it."
"It's up to you."
After burning two waves, the area around the door was clear. Brook ran out and continued to lure out the monsters under the ground spikes of the Red Moon Demon.
The current Crimson Moon Demon hadn't mutated, and the monsters within it all had normal attributes. Soon, the monsters on the left side of the entire Crimson Moon Demon Cave map were completely cleared, revealing the Crimson Moon Demon's massive mass of wriggling blood vessels and rotting flesh.
Brook and Bayin took a few steps forward. The Red Moon Demon had entered the 8-yard attack range and began to fight it hard.
Without the harassment of a large group of spiders, the single Red Moon Demon was not scary to Brook and Bayin. Both of them were of high level and had strong defenses, and Bayin also had a magic shield, so it didn't matter if he could withstand the damage.
Unfortunately, Brook's Soul Fire Talisman couldn't hit the Red Moon Demon, so he could only poison it, and the main output was from Bayin's lightning. Brook was on the side giving the two people group healing, so that they could drink less healing medicine.
After a while, seeing that the Red Moon Demon had less than 500 health left, Bayin stopped.
"Xiao Shuai, it's up to you." Bayin said.
"Hehe, just wait and see!"
Xiao Shuai rushed out from the bottom left corner and quickly ran to a groove below the Red Moon Demon, which is where melee classes can directly attack the Red Moon Demon. There were many spiders on the right side of the map. They spotted Xiao Shuai and immediately surrounded him. Unfortunately, Xiao Shuai's groove was in a very good position, and only one spider outside could hit him.
Xiao Shuai ignored the spider's harassment and just attacked the Red Moon Demon.
Fiery fire, attack, normal attack, normal attack. The Red Moon Demon only had 100 HP left. Xiao Shuai stopped and waited until the Fiery Sword Technique was finished cooling down. Then he launched another Fiery Fire. Bang, the Red Moon Demon exploded.
Protective ring!
Brook and Bayin were both very experienced, and if they found any artifacts, they were usually rings. They both discovered the protective ring almost at the same time. Bayin was closer and took two steps forward to pick it up.
Protective Ring: Defense 0-1, Durability 5, required level 26.
A divine weapon had truly been unearthed! Both were utterly thrilled. The sight of this divine weapon made all the other equipment on the ground pale in comparison, including an ordinary Tianzun necklace and dragon-patterned sword.
"Don't just focus on picking up things, there are monsters here." Xiao Shuai was still blocked in the groove by a group of spiders. Although there was no danger, he couldn't get out.
The two then remembered the hero who had dropped the artifact. Without the Crimson Moon Demon, the three of them no longer needed to go to the lower left corner to block the position. They simply found a spot nearby with their backs against the stone wall and quickly cleared all the monsters.
"What is the effect of the protective ring?" Xiao Shuai asked.
"I just tried it. When being attacked, health points are not deducted, but magic points are deducted first." Bayin said.
"Oh, it's used by mages." Warriors have no mana before level 28. Starting from level 28, they have a small amount of mana, because there is a skill called "Crescent Blade" at level 28, and using this skill will consume mana.
Xiao Shuai is now level 37, with 591 health points and 141 magic points.
Bayin is level 40, with 193 health points and 893 magic points.
Obviously, the protective ring is most suitable for the mage to wear, and it can greatly improve the mage's safety.
