Chapter 3: Baiyun Medical Hall (Middle)

In this regard, Wu Mingkong felt that not bringing fire was a mistake; having already committed murder, setting fire seemed to be an act that could also be deemed acceptable.

What is going on? Did I guess wrong? Wu Mingkong cautiously opened the door that had not been fully pushed open, and then quickly lifted the lid of the large pot

However, all of this is irrelevant to Wu Mingkong; killing him is the only truth

The agile dog also dashed out fiercely, its streamlined body akin to that of a leopard, endowing it with tremendous speed and explosive power

This made the little dog's tail wag even more joyfully

However, even so, he did not exit; not for any other reason, but because there was no exit key. To return, he would either have to die trying or complete the game to get out

Wu Mingkong and the small dog each chose a side, then Wu Mingkong carefully pushed open the wooden door of the thatched cottage, lifted the lid of the large pot, and waited for the flying darts to come.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh

Seeing that the young apprentice was no longer moving, Wu Mingkong finally called back the small dog and raised the large pot lid to guard against the impending ambush. He remembered that in the last instance, after he had killed Mingyue, he had died immediately afterward.

Wu Mingkong picked up the two orbs of light that the herbalist and the medicine-pounding boy had revealed. As soon as the orbs were in his hands, they automatically merged into Wu Mingkong's body

However, this is not the time to consider such matters; rather, we should reflect on the attack range of that herbalist boy.

Only the pharmacist, dressed in a long robe and with a mechanical expression, stood in the open doorway of the thatched cottage

Observing the two additional light orbs within the items, Wu Mingkong did not feel any dissatisfaction. Based on this assumption, Target 1, the Herbal Gathering Boy, would drop the Medicine (Upper), Target 2, the Medicine Crushing Boy, would drop the Medicine (Middle), and thus the final Apothecary would surely drop the Medicine (Lower)

At this moment, Wu Mingkong seemed to awaken from a dream: "The attack range and aggro range of the minions."

Then Wu Mingkong stood up directly and threw the kitchen knife at the herbalist boy, shouting, "Dog, go."

The door-opening assassin can only throw one dart at a time, while the herbal gathering apprentice in the medicinal garden can throw three darts at once, each with increasing force. The third dart even pierced through the large pot lid in Wu Ming's hand.

Players acquire the incomplete skill: Medicine (Level 1)

It does not matter if there is no fire from the books; Wu Mingkong decided to borrow arrows with straw boats

Therefore, I need to come up with a clever maneuver

Wu Ming was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't this setting becoming more and more like a game?"

This time, he directly lowered his body, completely prostrating himself, hiding behind the large pot lid, and cautiously stepped into the Baiyun Medical Hall, one careful step at a time

Indeed, the pharmacist did not throw a dart; instead, he struck the large pot lid with a punch, causing Wu Mingkong to stagger.

Player has acquired the incomplete skill: Medicine (Intermediate)

At this moment, Wu Mingkong also understood why the moment he opened the door, the medicine boy attacked him; it was because he had entered the attack range of the other party

"Good boy, wait until we finish the dungeon and I'll give you something delicious to eat," Wu Mingkong said with a cheerful smile

Yet there was still no response. He poked his head out to take a look, and in fact, he had already prepared to return. However, the anticipated darkness before his eyes did not materialize. Instead, he saw the young herbalist wandering aimlessly in the medicinal herb garden, as if he had not noticed the scene that had just unfolded at the entrance.

If I am not mistaken, the target pharmacist should be inside the thatched cottage, and this pharmacist is likely stronger than the herbal gathering apprentice. Wu Mingkong picked up a kitchen knife and circled around the cottage.

The imagined dart did not arrive; instead, Wu Mingkong suddenly felt a powerful blow as if struck by a heavy lid, leaving him completely unprepared.

Although there are some differences between the keywords and what was expected, they are not significantly apart. Ultimately, the final result still needs to wait until the medical aspects are fully addressed before further discussion.

Previously, the young apprentice who was grinding medicine died too quickly, and I did not get a clear look at him. This time, the young apprentice gathering herbs was at a certain distance and had not yet been pounced upon by the hounds, allowing Wu Mingkong to finally see the appearance of the herb-gathering apprentice.

Three consecutive sounds of breaking wind rang out, and immediately thereafter, Wu Mingkong heard that two of them were blocked by a large pot lid, while the third, the most powerful dart, pierced through three fingers' thickness of solid wood, leaving a deep gash on his cheek.

Incomplete skills cannot be learned; it is necessary to gather the remaining incomplete parts

A dog is indeed loyal; when Wu Mingkong says stop, it stops. If it were a cat, who knows what it would do.

"Alright, dog, that's enough, enough." Wu Mingkong noticed that the herbal gathering boy had also stopped moving like a book, which finally prompted the small dog to cease its actions

He swiftly picked up the dart that had pierced the large pot lid, and as he watched the small dog pounce on the herbalist boy, biting at his neck, he also charged forward with the dart, intending to deliver a finishing blow

First, he used the large pot lid as a shield. This time, he did not stand behind the large pot lid, but instead hid behind it, allowing the large pot lid to assist in bearing the burden

The herbal medicine gatherer had a rather unfortunate fate; without Wu Mingkong's timely intervention to call for a stop, he was bitten by the small dog, leaving him bloodied and mangled

The small dog seemed to interpret the two barks as an understanding, and upon hearing that there was something delicious, it barked even more vigorously

The small dog lunged directly at the apothecary boy, its large mouth sinking fiercely into the boy's neck, causing a copious spray of blood to erupt, while a warning sound of wheezing emerged from his throat

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response; all that remained was the medicine-pounding boy lying on the ground, along with the glowing orb on the boy's body

When the small dog left the herbalist boy, wagging its tail and looking bloodied as it approached Wu Mingkong for a reward, Wu Mingkong did not mind the dog's bloodied appearance and patted the dog's head, which was lowered in a plea for a reward

Wu Mingkong's kitchen knife struck directly against the belly of the herbal-picking boy, unfortunately not the blade side, but rather the back of the knife. However, the boy's expression did not change at all, remaining completely mechanical.

Based on this speculation, the pharmacist should throw either six or nine darts at once, and according to the pattern, Wu Mingkong's large pot lid will definitely not be able to withstand it

Although it has a human appearance, its face is entirely mechanical, resembling an NPC draped in human skin

"Damn, you are not playing by the rules. The minions are ranged, so why is the BOSS melee?"

Wu Mingkong recalled seriously that he was attacked as soon as he entered the Baiyun Medical Hall. Therefore, if we consider a broader scope, the attack range of the herbal medicine boy should encompass the entire Baiyun Medical Hall

However, Wu Mingkong did not feel afraid; instead, he was quite satisfied: "As expected of the oldest hunting dog, come back, pup"

This scene made the slender dog appear particularly fierce

However, seeing the thin dog pinning the herbalist boy down so firmly, there was truly no way to intervene, and in the end, he had to give up. For this reason, he couldn't help but feel relieved that he had chosen summoning-type skills in the first place
