Chapter 0007: The Night Cat Demon
Ye Xiu estimated that with the level of Yue Zhongmian, it was better not to push through at this moment, to focus on evasion instead. Killing off this one-tenth difficulty was not too challenging. However, to his surprise, this guy continued to stubbornly clash with the Night Cat Demon, and his counterattacks appeared somewhat weak.
Beautiful! Ye Xiu couldn't help but praise inwardly. The timing of the swordsmanship skill "Moonlit Slumber" used for blocking was impeccable, and the upward counterattack was executed without any hesitation, clearly demonstrating exceptional skill. Had he misjudged? The level of this "Moonlit Slumber" was beyond his expectations!
"Step back." Yue Zhongmian shouted, but instead of retreating, he advanced. It seemed he wanted to make himself the primary target of the dark night cat demon's attack.
After the other three spoke in succession, Yue Zhongmian was the first to express disappointment: "There are no pretty girls!"
Oh. Yue Zhongmian expressed understanding and then asked: "What about the others?"
As he watched the little monsters fall one by one, Ye Xiu's thoughts were in turmoil; he recalled far too much, including the adventures in the Gerson Forest, which even brought back memories from ten years ago
The three output team members were already prepared and immediately wielded their weapons to demonstrate the skills they had learned. Yue Zhongmian no longer dodged left and right to evade the Dark Night Cat Demon, but began to rely on Jun Moxiao's healing techniques to counter it, in order to keep the Dark Night Cat Demon controlled within a stable position
"Well done!" Yue Zhongmian showed no fear as he charged forward with his sword. The Night Cat Demon, being small in size and quick in movement, posed a significant challenge to the players' operational accuracy. Ye Xiu had already observed the skill levels of the four players in the *Book* and estimated that it might take some time for Yue Zhongmian to stabilize the Night Cat Demon. He even suspected that he might inadvertently draw aggro during the healing process. However, that was not a concern; Ye Xiu was more than capable of handling a Night Cat Demon on his own.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Ye Xiu suddenly heard a rapid rustling sound coming from the edge of the forest. This sound was not footsteps, but rather the noise of a body brushing against the branches and leaves.
Amidst a chorus of laughter, the team set off
Everyone nodded, and Ye Xiu did not say much more; there was nothing wrong with the statement made by Yue Zhongmian.
He has arrived. Ye Xiu noticed that typing might take some time, so he hurriedly called out in a vague manner, with a cigarette still clenched in his mouth! At the same time, he lightly flicked his fingers twice, and Jun Mo Xiao swiftly turned around, already aiming in the direction from which the Night Cat Demon was attacking.
"Alright, next up is the Night Cat Demon," Yue Zhongmian said after defeating the last small monster in front of him. Upon hearing the words 'Night Cat Demon,' Ye Xiu's thoughts immediately shifted. The hidden BOSS may not necessarily appear only after the entire dungeon is cleared; according to the system's guidance, it is sometimes possible to encounter it in a scene midway through. And for Ye Xiu and his team this time, the Night Cat Demon was indeed about to appear here.
The Forest of Green is a small dungeon that allows novice players to further familiarize themselves with the game. How difficult can it be? Moreover, Yue Zhongmian is clearly not a newcomer, as he smoothly commands hetushu.com.com throughout the journey. After Ye Xiu instructed Jun Mo Xiao to initially cast two healing spells from the Holy Word class, he was immediately designated by Yue Zhongmian as a Holy Word user, becoming purely supportive. In fact, in such a low-level dungeon, it is unnecessary to employ the classic triangle strategy of Warrior, Mage, and Priest. However, Yue Zhongmian is evidently accustomed to this strategy in dungeons, and he completely directs the team according to this approach. He himself acts as the main tank to attract aggro, while the other three focus on damage output, with Jun Mo Xiao appointed as the logistics chief.
The person shouting was Ye Xiu, who guessed it was Yue Zhongmian. He had also seen the system's notification about the appearance of the hidden BOSS, the Dark Night Cat Demon. After Ye Xiu typed a "heh heh," he heard Yue Zhongmian's voice: "Speak up, what are you typing for?"
The situation is well maintained, and the cries of the Night Cat Demon being beaten resonate in waves through the forest, exciting everyone. The three true newcomers have already learned about the value of the hidden BOSS from Moonlight Sleep along the way. While everyone is eagerly anticipating the thorough beating of the Night Cat Demon, a peculiar thought begins to arise in Ye Xiu's mind.
Honor directly supports voice communication, and it is very realistic, operating on a single channel: current. The distance between characters directly affects the volume of the sound, as the system has its own set of calculations for sound propagation. There is no background music in the game; instead, there are various realistic sound effects of wind and rustling grass. Once you put on the headphones, the immersive experience is incredibly strong
The other three people with the books also stepped back to stand in position, aligning beside Jun Moxiao, while Yue Zhongmian maintained several body lengths of distance. Everyone held their breath and stared, but even the rustling sound of the night cat demon weaving through the forest came to a halt at that moment
Just as the team member Yang Guang had uttered two words, a shadow darted out from the forest, accompanied by a sharp cat's cry. The first strike was indeed aimed at the one standing at the front, Yue Zhongmian.
"Yangguan, you shouldn't keep looking at the sky; the night cat demon won't just fall from above," Yuezhongmian suddenly remarked. Glory is a first-person perspective game, and the screen essentially displays a realistic human viewpoint. Due to the excellent details, when the perspective is moved to look at the sky, the character must tilt their head up. Yuezhongmian couldn't help but criticize teammate Yangguan for always gazing upward.
That friend who became acquainted with me at the dawn of glory, the one who stayed up all night discussing the innovations and future of this game with me. He saw through everything, spoke the truth about everything, and had everything planned out. Yet, due to an unexpected update, all dreams and hopes turned to dust, leaving only this unfinished Thousand Machine Umbrella.
"No blue left?" Ye Xiu glanced at the team panel, clearly indicating that this was not the issue. However, the sudden decline in Yue Zhongmian's performance this month somewhat validated his previous thoughts. Just as Ye Xiu was about to remind him, he heard Yue Zhongmian shout, "Damn it, it's an OT!"
"Red blood, keep up with the healing spells." The life of the Night Cat Demon was quickly reduced to below one-tenth, a state that players habitually refer to as red blood. Many bosses exhibit new tricks when in red blood status. The Green Forest is merely a novice dungeon, and the bosses do not possess such special abilities, but the Night Cat Demon is different; it is a hidden boss, and lacking such abilities would not do justice to its title.
The night cat demon has a chance to inflict a curse status on people. However, it's just a curse, nothing to be afraid of. The problem is that this creature is fast, and it may take me some time to catch it. Everyone, hold on a little longer, don't panic or act recklessly. " Yue Zhongmian is strategizing.
However, the transformation of the Night Cat Demon is relatively simple; it becomes enraged, which increases its attack speed and damage to some extent. Therefore, the pressure on healing during this period will be somewhat greater
You were supposed to be the most talented and accomplished person in glory..." His fingers lightly brushed over the keyboard, and with a flick of the mouse, a reply from Jun Mo Xiao was accurately added to Yue Zhong Mian. While Yue Zhong Mian praised the timely addition, Ye Xiu's thoughts were completely elsewhere.
Everyone saw Jun Mo Xiao's actions and realized that it was this brother, who had remained silent all along, who spoke up at a critical moment to provide a hint
Amidst the sounds of battle and the shouts of his teammates, the five-man team advanced with great strides. Ye Xiu's skills were seasoned, and his positioning was exceptional, earning him lavish praise from the captain. However, at this moment, Ye Xiu's mind was in a daze, wondering when was the last time he had gone into a dungeon with his companions. How long had it been since he felt this way?
"Someone is sleeping, it's not convenient." After Ye Xiu typed this, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, skillfully flicked it to get one out, placed it in his mouth, tilted his head, and lit it.
In the midst of the moonlit night, Yue Zhongmian launched a series of attacks, causing the cat demon to float in the air. Following this, he executed a piercing thrust, followed by a ground-shattering sword strike. The final blow, a ghostly slash, emitted a dark purple blade of light that sent the night cat demon flying. This series of consecutive strikes drew loud cheers from the crowd. However, Yue Zhongmian did not dare to let his guard down for a moment. After catching up and delivering two more sword strikes, he shouted, "Commence the slaughter"
In the dark night, the cat demon missed its strike, but reacted extremely quickly, flipping over and clawing again. Yue Zhongmian raised the sword to block it, and with a loud "clang," the sword struck the cat's paw. Yue Zhongmian's body slid back half a step, and then he immediately executed an upward thrust with his sword.
As a result, in the middle of the month, the person's character erupted; this sword strike was timed exceptionally well, striking the airborne dark night cat demon squarely. Moreover, with a subsequent roll to the side, they evaded the cat demon's pounce, saving a healing spell that Jun Mo Xiao had already prepared.
There is currently no official announcement, comrades. We are very likely to achieve the first kill of the hidden BOSS in Zone 10! "Yue Zhongmian" excitedly encouraged everyone.
"Advance." At the command of the Moonlit Sleep, the five continued to move forward. The already dim Green Forest became even gloomier as a dark cloud obscured the sun overhead, and the sound of their footsteps on the forest floor was particularly clear. No one spoke; everyone was fully focused on their surroundings.
