Golden Shovel Survival: One Lucky Star and One Colorful Hex

Chapter 142: We agreed on a one-on-one duel, but you don’t have any fighting ethics!
"Five more king-level monsters are here! Do you really think I'm an islander?"

Mo Lang's mouth twitched. As a national-level quitter, he had already started to back out and was ready to say goodbye.

The monsters are about to attack the city, so there is no need to confront them head-on now. They can't do anything to me anyway.

Wouldn't it be great to wait until you have three stars and five mana, then kill this little skeleton?

Originally, one king-level skeleton was a bit stressful for him, and now there were five more king-level ones. Mo Lang felt that there was really no need to confront them head-on. Even if he won, he would suffer heavy losses. What would he do when his monsters attacked the city?
"Ahem, I'll let you off today, but you won't be so lucky next time." Mo Lang coughed awkwardly, his face calm and his heart steady as he spoke seriously.

Then he immediately crushed the teleportation scroll.

He muttered to himself: We agreed on a one-on-one duel, but you don’t even have the moral code of martial arts!
……

……

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully challenging the SS-level Duel Master bond. Your overall score is SS+. The SS+ level reward has been issued."

"Ding! Since your Trial Tower rating is SS+, you need 120 Energy Crystals, 180 White Orbs, and 90 Blue Orbs!"

After returning to the base and seeing that he had received another SS+ reward, Mo Lang nodded in satisfaction.

After informing Xia Chuchu, the two of them teleported to the Twisted Jungle again and decided to explore the cave again!

After pushing all the way to the front of the cave, Mo Lang took Xia Chuchu and walked straight in. After discovering that there were no monsters inside, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if you have to kill it again, it would be a pure waste of your time.

After passing through the first two floors, Mo Lang came directly to the third floor.

The third floor was even darker than the second. There was only a faint light in the corner, flickering, and from time to time there was a faint sound of electric current, making a crackling sound.

Xia Chuchu hugged Mo Lang's arms tightly in fear, her innocent face full of panic and fear.

Seeing this, Mo Lang took out a torch and lit it. Only then could he see the surrounding environment clearly and found that this place was somewhat different from the laboratories in science fiction movies.

What can be seen everywhere here are not test tubes, but various strange-shaped energy instruments that flash strange lights.

Runes flow on the surface of those instruments, emitting mysterious power fluctuations.

"It smells like humans..."

This eerie whisper was like an icy arrow that suddenly pierced the silence. Immediately afterwards, the same whisper came like a surging tide, rushing in from all directions, densely intertwining in this dark space, making people feel terrified.

In an instant, the darkness around seemed to have substance, and countless black shadows flashed by like ghosts!

Mo Lang's breathing quickened, and he hurriedly raised the torch, using the light of the fire to penetrate the thick, inky darkness with difficulty.

When he saw what was in front of him clearly, his breathing suddenly stopped and he swallowed subconsciously.

What appeared before my eyes was actually a group of "people"!
But if we want to describe them accurately, they can no longer be called human beings, because these pitiful and terrifying creatures have all parts of their bodies brutally occupied by various strange plants.

Some of their faces were completely covered by a giant carnivorous plant, leaving only two empty and lifeless eyes exposed; some of their limbs were tightly wrapped by vines. The vines seemed to be alive, growing along the texture of the skin and even piercing into the flesh, twitching from time to time, as if greedily absorbing nutrients.

Others' chests were propped up by a small tree breaking through the ground, with the trunk passing through their backs. A few strange leaves hung on the branches, swaying gently as their bodies trembled.

They stumbled along, their movements mechanical and slow, exuding a strange blend of decay and vitality. They gazed greedily at Mo Lang, Xia Chuchu, and their chess pieces, as if they were seeing an incredibly delicious meal. "Are these the people who didn't escape? Have they been taken over by mutated plants and become controlled zombies..." Mo Lang was a little frightened.

But for some reason, his right eyelid kept twitching and he always had a bad feeling.

It felt like someone was secretly watching me.

At the same time, Mo Lang's sight suddenly tightened, locking onto the two king-level monsters!
A twisted carnivorous plant king stood abruptly in front of him like a mountain of flesh, five meters high. Its thick stem was covered with sharp thorns, and each huge petal was like a door to death, emitting a disgusting stench as it opened and closed slightly.

Next to it is a twisted tree spirit king. Its trunk is twisted and contorted like a pretzel, its bark is cracked and oozing a strange dark green juice. Its branches stretch out wildly like dancing pythons, with some glimmering unidentified objects hanging at the ends, as if they are the trophies it has captured.

"There are two king-level monsters, but no lord-level monsters. Could it be that they were swallowed by the two of them?" Seeing this, Mo Lang used various gain scrolls and also gave Xia Chuchu a lot of gain scrolls.

At this moment, he was somewhat glad that he brought Xia Chuchu with him today, otherwise, with two king-level monsters and more than 500 elite monsters, he would probably lose a lot of chess pieces this time.

With the combat effectiveness of Xia Chuchu and the eight countries, Mo Lang felt that the pressure was reduced a lot.

In particular, all of his five-cost items have reached two stars, and various attribute bonuses and skill damage bonuses have been greatly improved.

In particular, Sett's effect is greater when killing monsters with more health. Among them, Sett No. 1, who is wearing the Ascension Amulet, directly enters the Ascension state after three minutes. A throw directly deals a lot of critical damage, which can even be described as earth-shattering and sky-shattering.

"Death Lotus!"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded, and Xia Chuchu's Katarina suddenly spun and jumped in the pile of monsters, also dealing considerable damage.

Mo Lang then discovered that Xia Chuchu's Katarina had reached two stars, and was also equipped with Magic Explosion, Fist of Justice and Giant Killer. Combined with the attribute bonus of Ba Sanguo, the health of the surrounding monsters dropped rapidly.

"Let me end this!"

At the same time, the three-star Noxus also launched an attack, especially Noxus No. 1 who was equipped with Infinity, Magic Burst, and Drain Sword. He jumped up, and the giant axe in his hand was like a divine weapon. Carrying a violent aura, he madly harvested the monsters with low blood around him.

Each hit dealt a critical damage of seven to eight thousand, which was simply terrifying.

After Mo Lang paid the price of several high-level healing scrolls, the battle lasted only twenty minutes and ended with Mo Lang's complete victory, leaving only the corpses of monsters and various magic balls on the ground.

Two of the lords directly dropped two colored orbs and four golden orbs.

As for the white and blue magic balls, Mo Lang was too lazy to count them.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Just as Mo Lang collected all the magic balls and prepared to go to the next level, a sound of applause suddenly came from the darkness.

Then a slender figure slowly walked out from the darkness.

The person who came had a graceful figure, with long fiery red hair casually draped and slightly curled at the ends, revealing a bit of wild beauty.

A dark green long skirt meandered like a vine, outlining her slender waist and long legs. As her jade feet moved slowly, flower buds appeared around her and broke through, growing into enchanting flowers.

Those red eyes were as deep and bright as rubies, and at this moment they were staring at Mo Lang with a smile, making it impossible to guess what they were thinking.

Mo Lang recognized the other person at first sight.
