Passing through a narrow path piled with debris, Lily stopped in front of a three-story building that was drafty on Four Directions sides.
This was the debt-ridden old man's stronghold.
It wasn't her first time here, so even though her hair color had changed, the doorman recognized her at a glance.
"Oh no!" The doorman exclaimed, then turned and ran into the building, "Boss, that woman is here again!"
"That woman?"
The harsh sound of tables and chairs moving came from inside the house.
A moment later, a tall man with a knife scar on his forehead walked out of the house.
Lily decisively used the Spiritual Vision skill on him.
The skill judgment was successful; due to the level difference, the displayed data was not complete.
"Name": Dabiao Ge (Elite Monster)
"Template": Ordinary
"Main Profession":? Lv6
"Sub Profession": None
"Health Points": 107 / 110
"Attributes":?
"Skills": Intimidation Lv2,?
"Talent":?
"Affection": Hostile (?)
"Danger Level": Yellow
Seeing this, Lily felt relieved.
This was just as she had thought.
Above the Stars divides the target's danger level into Five categories: Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, and Black.
Yellow meant that Dabiao Ge was only slightly stronger than her, and even if she attacked Dabiao Ge's ancestors and provoked him into a blood rage, it would be enough to hold out until the players arrived to rescue her.
"It's you?"
Dabiao Ge frowned; he also recognized Lily.
"I've already told you, there's no money, only my life. You still dare to come, are you tired of living?"
Lily appeared very calm: "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you trouble."
"Then what are you doing here?"
The scar on Dabiao Ge's forehead twitched.
I'll believe you when pigs fly!
Lily pointed into the distance: "You've been targeted by Outsiders, and they're out there now."
"Outsiders?"
Dabiao Ge was greatly surprised and quickly took his Four Directions subordinates to the second floor.
Looking out, at some point, the stronghold was surrounded by at least Forty or Fifty people dressed in similar clothes, and these people kept pointing and gesturing at the stronghold.
He was completely numb.
How could he be so capable as to attract so many people to fight him at once?
Dabiao Ge turned around and anxiously asked Lily, who had followed him: "We clearly have a grudge, why are you still helping me?"
"Idiot!" Lily suddenly cursed, looking utterly disappointed, "We do have a grudge, but this is an internal conflict after all. Now that the Outsiders are attacking, if I don't help you and instead watch you get killed by those Outsiders, wouldn't that be letting these Outsiders defeat us one by one? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
"This..."
Dabiao Ge was speechless.
He had to admit that Lily was right.
If it were him, he would never be able to repay kindness with kindness like Lily.
What the hell is true magnanimity!
Dabiao Ge humbly asked: "Then what should we do now? There are so many people on the other side, it's not going to be easy."
Lily's face was stern: "Since I came to find you, I naturally have a way. To tell you the truth, I am actually a Spiritual Energy Prayer Master."
"What?"
Dabiao Ge and the others all gasped.
A Spiritual Energy Prayer Master, that's an extraordinary person who can apply various buff effects to allies and various restrictions to opponents!
"You..."
"No time to explain, I'll tell you slowly after we escape." Lily shook her head, "Now, quickly line up, I'll give you prayers one by one."
Having no other choice, Dabiao Ge and the others could only comply.
They lined up in order, and then a faint light shot out from Lily's palm, landing on their hands.
"Frenzy": Causes a certain body part of the target to enter a Frenzy state.
After the hands enter a Frenzy state, strength, speed, resistance to blows, recovery ability, etc., will be greatly improved.
This way, when facing the players' encirclement, Dabiao Ge and the others would be able to hold out longer.
Lily's enhancement for Dabiao Ge didn't stop there; she specifically applied Frenzy to Dabiao Ge's stomach and intestines as well.
Hands in Frenzy = faster and stronger.
What does intestinal Frenzy equal?
Lily was very curious.
Feeling his hands gradually becoming strong and powerful, Dabiao Ge was filled with emotion.
Lily hadn't lied to him; she really was a Spiritual Energy Prayer Master, and she truly didn't hold grudges.
Sigh.
After this battle, if he could survive, he would apologize properly to Lily. He just hoped Lily could be magnanimous and forgive his past transgressions.
"Thanks!" Dabiao Ge solemnly clasped his hands, "Later, we will do our best to attract the attention of those Outsiders; you must seize the opportunity to escape."
Lily waved her hand, scolding with a smile: "Stop being so wishy-washy. The prayer only lasts a few minutes. You guys hurry up and go; I have my own way."
"Okay."
Dabiao Ge nodded slightly. He walked past Lily with his Four Directions subordinates.
As he reached the staircase, he suddenly stopped: "Lily!"
"Hmm?" Lily was startled.
The next second, Dabiao Ge raised his right hand.
Salute to you, salute!
After performing this comical salute, he continued downstairs.
A somewhat timid subordinate asked: "Boss, can we defeat those Outsiders?"
"We will win!"
Dabiao Ge's voice was more resolute than ever. With him strengthened, what reason did he have not to win?
Lily, standing on the second floor, watched them walk out of the building. She didn't forget to wave goodbye to them.
Go, big brother with the knife scar on your face! Let those Outsiders see how powerful you are!
Lily's blessing came from the heart, as from this moment on, Dabiao Ge had transformed into her top donor.
To express her gratitude for her top donor's efforts, she very diligently began to scour the building.
Ten-odd seconds later.
"Die!"
A furious roar announced the official start of the battle between Dabiao Ge's group and the players.
Dabiao Ge charged into the player crowd first, like Lu Bu with built-in invincibility in Dynasty Warriors, he began to furiously mow down enemies.
"-7", "-11", "-9"
Each of his attacks could deplete at least a quarter of a player's health, and it was even difficult for players to hit him.
This scene deeply encouraged the Four Directions subordinates.
Holy cow, it's lit!
You stinky Outsiders, don't think you're strong just because there are many of you! You have your friendships, and we, the forces of evil, have our own bonds too!
"Maya!"
Anya, who was watching from a distance, was startled.
People are dying, so many people are going to die.
Those Outsiders boasted a lot, but in a real fight, they were no match for Dabiao Ge.
But as Anya watched, she noticed something was off.
What was wrong with those Outsiders?
She saw an Outsider whose head was caved in, but instead of crying out in pain, he was laughing heartily.
"Damn, as expected of an Elite Monster, so strong. My first death is going to happen here."
She also saw another Outsider hanging on the wall, his waist broken, also laughing.
Even more absurdly, when their comrades were dying, the remaining Outsiders weren't sad at all.
"Haha, noob, now watch how your daddy shows off!"
"What are you showing off, you idiot? If Patrick Star wasn't tanking in front, you'd be dead long ago."
"Just tell me if I'm alive or not?"
Anya was dumbfounded.
Hey, are these Outsiders some kind of monsters?
Dabiao Ge and the others were also bewildered by the players' absurd conversations.
Who wouldn't be confused when facing such enemies?
However, the huge difference in strength still made Dabiao Ge full of confidence.
Kill, kill, kill! Kill all those Outsiders by myself!
But just as the players were sweating, something strange happened: Dabiao Ge suddenly stopped in place, his expression becoming extremely peculiar.
What the hell?
Anya and those few subordinates were stunned.
The players also stopped, becoming vigilant.
Could it be that this Elite Monster was about to enter its second phase and unleash a big move?
Dabiao Ge was indeed about to unleash something big, but not the kind of 'big' the players thought.
He clutched his stomach, his legs tightly pressed together, feeling that if he made even a slightly bigger movement, he would have a massive discharge.
"Goddammit..."
At this moment, he actually got a stomach ache. What kind of terrible luck was this?
Dabiao Ge's heart sank halfway.
It must have been those things he ate before Lily arrived!
No, he had to run quickly, otherwise, with his physical condition, he would surely be beaten to death.
Dabiao Ge turned and ran, shouting for his few subordinates to cover him as he went.
But to his dismay, those few subordinates, seeing the situation was bad, quickly slipped away themselves.
You said you'd be brothers to each other, and you just ran off like that?
"You bastards!"
The remaining half of Dabiao Ge's heart also grew cold.
He could only grit his teeth and continue running, but how could the players just let him leave like that?
"Hmph, trying to escape?"
"Thunderstorm Half-Moon Slash!"
The player named Black Tiger Afu was the first to charge forward, smashing his staff into Dabiao Ge's right eye socket, who dared not dodge with full force.
"-7"
Red critical hit!
Dabiao Ge screamed, pushed Black Tiger Afu away with his shoulder, and continued to flee, enduring the pain.
Then several more players chased after him.
Bang, bang, bang!
The continuous sneak attacks managed to push Dabiao Ge's health bar down to about half.
"62 / 110"
"He's almost dead, everyone, push harder!"
The players became excited.
Dabiao Ge, severely wounded, was burning with anxiety.
He had managed to break through the obstruction with great difficulty, but with his current physical condition, he would probably be caught again soon.
Was he really going to die here today?
He felt an unprecedented despair.
They're here.
Footsteps are coming!
Dabiao Ge gritted his teeth, preparing to fight to the death.
But after the footsteps disappeared, a familiar voice emerged instead.
"Follow me."
This is...
He looked up, and what was reflected in his intact left eye was clearly a white figure.
It was Lily!
But now he wanted to call Lily by another name—
An angel of salvation!
