Chapter 89: Flower Fairy’s Ability

A System Notification appeared: Accept the quest “Rescue Eliya”?

Quest: Rescue Eliya

Quest Difficulty: A-rank

Quest Details: Eliya was caught in some kind of crisis. With Eve’s help, save Eliya.

Quest Reward: Increase Eve’s Favorability by 30.

A System Notification popped up. Chen Mo and the others glanced at the quest. They found that even without accepting it, they could see the detailed information.

An A-rank quest was already considered the hardest in the Game, but the reward was pitifully small—just gaining 30 points of Eve’s Favorability. Eve was just a little girl. What use was gaining 30 points of her Favorability? Could they possibly kidnap her? But there was only one Eve, and there were four of them.

But after a brief thought, Chen Mo accepted the quest. The quest reward was pitifully small, but not to mention he needed to help June Rain find Eliya now—even without June Rain’s quest, Chen Mo would have accepted it.

As for Golden Phoenix, she cheerfully clicked accept without hesitation. She had come to help Chen Mo and June Rain anyway and didn’t care about the reward.

Seeing this, June Rain couldn’t help but look gratefully at the three of them. She was very worried that they might think the quest was too difficult and give up going deeper.

“Thank you! Eliya was caught by that strange man several days ago. You must rescue her quickly… Ah, no! Even though you are strong, that strange man has too many powerful monsters around him. You won’t be a match for them. What should we do?” Eve quickly thanked the four of them. She looked anxious and spoke in a flustered manner, extremely worried about Eliya.

“Little sister Eve, is Eliya right ahead? In the place where Eliya is imprisoned, is there a strange man and many powerful monsters?” Chen Mo asked.

An A-rank difficulty quest wasn’t easy to complete. Even if the situation was urgent, they couldn’t act recklessly. This place wasn’t like the open wilderness above ground where they could run if they couldn’t win. If they got surrounded here, it basically meant certain death.

“Yes, a few days ago, Eliya and I went to the woods below to gather Moonlight Flowers. We found that a place we couldn’t pass through before suddenly became accessible. Thinking that not many people had been here, there must be many Moonlight Flowers to gather, but we unexpectedly encountered a strange man. That strange man tried to catch us. Eliya let me escape, but she herself was caught by the strange man. These past few days, I’ve been trying to rescue Eliya, but she is locked in an iron cage with many powerful monsters around. I couldn’t get close at all.” Eve anxiously explained the situation.

“Don’t worry. Lead us to the place where Eliya is imprisoned, but don’t get too close.”

A strange man lived here? Could the strange ape monsters that appeared here be related to this person?

“Okay, follow me!”

Eve nodded quickly to show she understood and ran ahead, taking the lead.

Chen Mo and the other three followed closely behind. The white fog was still thick along the way, but no ordinary monsters appeared anymore.

“It’s right here. Another hundred meters forward, and we’ll alert those powerful monsters.” Eve whispered worriedly, afraid of being discovered.

“I’ll use Camouflage to sneak ahead and observe. Wait here for me. Be ready to retreat or fight at any time based on my command,” Chen Mo said in the party channel. Golden Phoenix and the other two nodded.

Camouflage!

Using the Camouflage Skill, Chen Mo quietly moved forward.

After advancing less than thirty meters, Chen Mo found the view suddenly opened up.

The thick white fog completely disappeared. Ahead was a huge circular tray formed by numerous intertwined branches. Its radius was at least over a hundred meters, quite spectacular at a glance.

But Chen Mo didn’t dare go any further. Just as Eve said, in the center of the huge tray stood a wooden hut. The strange man was probably inside that wooden hut.

Beside the hut hung an iron cage over two meters high. Inside the cage crouched a little girl with short black hair.

Around the tray were more than thirty giant monsters. Chen Mo carefully observed and found that each one had strength comparable to the Giant Ape they had killed earlier.

They couldn’t act recklessly!

Chen Mo calmly analyzed.

These weren’t ordinary wild monsters but were commanded by the strange man in the wooden hut. If they dared to appear here and fight these giant monsters, once they alerted the strange man, he would undoubtedly order all the monsters to swarm them. By then, even with Big Fatty, they wouldn’t stand a chance!

“Eve, is it true that every time you try to rescue Eliya, one monster chases after you?”

Chen Mo quietly retreated and described what he saw to Golden Phoenix and the other two. All three were stunned, clearly not expecting an A-rank quest to be this difficult. After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo asked Eve a question.

The key to the quest should lie with Eve. The quest details hinted at it!

“Yes, several times I was almost caught by that monster.” Eve nodded with lingering fear, but she didn’t explain how a little girl like her managed to escape from such a powerful monster.

“Eve, if we charge straight in, we’re no match for those monsters. But if you’re not afraid, you can lure the monsters over one by one. That way, we can take some time to kill all of them.” Chen Mo proposed his plan—the only feasible method at the moment.

“I’m not afraid! Wait for me here!” Without a second thought, Eve agreed, then immediately darted into the thick white fog.

Soon, the branches beneath their feet began to tremble again.

“It’s coming!” The four of them perked up and entered combat mode.

Eve rushed back, with a Giant Ape chasing closely behind her.

Chen Mo hurried forward and summoned Big Fatty to block the front.

But with their previous battle experience and knowing there were still many powerful monsters ahead to kill, Chen Mo changed his combat strategy.

They couldn’t purely rely on Big Fatty to tank the giant monster’s Damage. Last time, Big Fatty lost nearly 30% of its Health Points, and its Health recovery rate was slow. If this continued, Big Fatty would face its first death since becoming Chen Mo’s follower after killing just a few giant monsters. Big Fatty dying wasn’t a big deal in itself, but without it, eliminating all thirty-plus giant monsters ahead wouldn’t be easy.

This time, Chen Mo also joined the front line, fighting alongside Big Fatty. With his help drawing Aggro, the Damage Big Fatty received could be reduced by at least half.

Sure enough, with Chen Mo’s involvement, the number of attacks Big Fatty received noticeably decreased. The Giant Ape occasionally tried to attack Chen Mo, but the prepared Chen Mo wasn’t easily hit. He used summoned Mutant Slimes to block attacks. If he really couldn’t dodge, he tried his best to avoid the first three attacks, only taking the last one or two hits.

Chen Mo’s Health Points weren’t low; taking two hits wouldn’t kill him, though his Health would drop critically low. But knowing the monster’s attack patterns, when his Health was low, Chen Mo could step back slightly to drink potions and recover. Combined with June Rain’s Healing Skill, he could quickly return to the fight.

After the four of them killed this Giant Ape, Big Fatty ultimately lost only a little over 10% of its Health.

“I’ll lure another one over!” After the second Giant Ape was killed, Eve excitedly ran off to lure another monster.

Soon, Eve lured the second giant monster over. Chen Mo and the other three braced themselves and engaged in battle again.

Big Fatty remained the tank, but this time, its Health was already down to 60%. After this battle, Big Fatty’s Health was about to drop to 50%.

Once it dropped to 50%, Big Fatty could activate its split skill, creating a clone to fight.

However, before Big Fatty’s clone skill activated, during the battle with the third giant monster, the Flower Demon Battle Spirit, which had been lazily lying on Big Fatty’s head, began to dance gracefully atop Big Fatty’s head, scattering waves of pink light. Then, Big Fatty’s Health started to slowly recover. By the time the third giant monster was killed, Big Fatty’s Health hadn’t dropped below 50%; instead, it recovered to 80%!

Chen Mo was stunned. He never expected that the Flower Demon Battle Spirit, which had always been causing trouble and refusing to cooperate, actually had such an ability!
