The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

Wow! This is a huge profit!

"There's actually a patch of spices here that hasn't been contaminated."

"If I remember correctly, this stuff is really expensive. I'll dig up as much as possible before anyone else finds it."

As he spoke, Xingmai happily gathered spices, unaware that danger was lurking behind him.

The distance behind is about twenty meters from the star vein.

Ella and several team members exchanged glances.

"As expected of a low-level monster, its vigilance is too poor!" Ella thought to herself.

Immediately afterwards, she drew her bow and nocked an arrow.

At the same time, he winked at his Nightmare Clan teammate beside him.

The latter understood perfectly.

The flames on the black Nightmare Clan horse intensified, followed by a neighing sound.

The Nightmare Clan member leaped into the air.

"War tramples!"

The ground trembled the moment it hit the ground.

On this side of the star vein.....

"Holy crap!" The sudden change caused Xingmai, who was collecting spices, to experience a brief moment of dizziness before he could even react.

Immediately afterwards, his body was also directly blasted away by the shockwave of the Nightmare Clan's skill.

Meanwhile, in the stellar vision, before anyone could react, the arrow continued to grow larger in the pupils.

"Abyssal Corruption!"

Fortunately, Xingmai was among the second batch of players to enter the game, and after experiencing several major battles, his reaction was relatively timely.

A significant amount of black abyssal mist surged forth at the crucial moment, but before it could completely envelop Starvein, the magical arrows arrived.

"Depend on!"

The arrow pierced through the star vein in the next moment.

Starpulse was startled when he saw the -HP600 message.

Fortunately, the Abyssal Corruption released by Starpulse at the critical moment had some effect; otherwise, Starpulse probably would have been instantly killed by this attack.

"Shadow Barrier! All Magic Resistance!"

As the black barrier appeared, Star Pulse immediately and recklessly unleashed a barrage of defensive skills upon himself.

Realizing something was wrong, Xingmai immediately took out a grenade from his backpack.

"French raptors!"

Star Pulse roared and threw it directly at the burning horse.

At the same time, complex magical runes appeared around Starpile, signaling "Arcane Missiles!"

"Fireball!"

"You bastard, you dare to ambush me? Die!"

The sudden change surprised Ella as well.

"What?!"

His charged attack failed to kill the weak Pata immediately.

"Something's definitely fishy!"

"This one, Pata, must be the one the goddess is looking for!"

Ella made a quick judgment.

Almost at the same time, several of his companions also disappeared into the darkness.

"Captain, watch out! This Pata is using abyssal magic!"

"Just now, the Nightmare Clan member, who had dodged several grenades and retreated to the side, said in a deep voice."

"I felt it!"

"I never imagined that a weak little Pata could master such magic. No wonder the goddess is so angry."

"It's absolutely impossible for such a weak race like Pata to control it. This Pata must have stolen a sliver of the goddess's power through some unknown means."

"This Pata is nothing but a dirty thief. Not only that, the artifact is almost certainly in his possession, because his dirty soul determines his actions."

Ella made a quick judgment.

At this moment, Xingmai was completely bewildered.

Especially while listening to their conversation, he struggled to fend off their attacks.

"What goddess? What divine artifact? Are you guys crazy?"

"What kind of bullshit goddess are you talking about? I don't even know her. How could I possibly steal her power?"

However, what Xingmai didn't know was that his words directly ignited the anger of several people.

This creature not only stole a sliver of the goddess's power, but also dared to insult her.

"You lowly plop, how dare you!"

At that moment, magic surged around Ella, and countless arrows formed from magic appeared around her.

Then she took out a black longbow.

"Nine shots in a row!"

The next moment, a whooshing sound rang out.

The shadow barrier of Star Pulse shattered with just three arrows, and before Star Pulse could react, two shadows suddenly appeared beside him.

"Oh no!"

Seeing the two suddenly appearing shadowy star veins, he realized that the situation was not good, but it was clear that he was outnumbered and had no way to deal with it.

The next moment, the familiar voice rang out again.

"The earth trembled!"

Immediately following was another figure: "Earth-Splitting Slash!"

Just as Xingmai was briefly lifted into the air by the tremors of the great earthquake, he saw a curved blade getting closer and closer to him. The next moment, a powerful force sent Xingmai flying four or five meters into the air.

Even with various magical enhancements, Star Pulse's health was already less than one hundred against so many attacks.

Meanwhile, the star in the sky saw another dark elf below that hadn't made a move yet.

The dark elf was assuming an attack stance, its dagger emitting a faint glow, clearly indicating that it was charging up some special skill.

"it's over!"

A cold, clear voice rang out.

"Nine-Hit Shadow Slash!"

The next moment, the dark elf transformed into a stream of light and appeared directly next to the star vein in the sky.

In the scene, there is a bewildered creature in the sky, followed by nine beams of light appearing from its various positions, while several arrows fly in from below.

At the same time, a horse engulfed in flames on the ground spewed flames into the air.

"Did I break some kind of cardinal rule?"

These were Starpulse's last thoughts before he died.

"It's finally over!" Ella put away her longbow and walked to Starpulse, who was now lying flat on the ground.

"Do you recognize this subspecies of Pata?"

Upon hearing this, they all shook their heads.

"But it's alright, this Pata should be the one the goddess was looking for, exactly the same as the one in the portrait." The dark elf teammate added, "And you all saw the battle just now, right?"

"It took several of us working together and using so many skills to kill it; a regular Pata couldn't have done that."

"The only special 'pat' is when the goddess specifically mentions you."

The other teammates agreed with what this teammate said.

"The goddess's enemy has been dealt with; next comes the artifact. I haven't sensed any aura of the artifact from him," a muffled voice from the Nightmare Clan beside him said.

Ella pondered for a moment, "He probably didn't bring it with him, but since he's been moving around, we can be pretty sure his home is nearby. If we search the area, we should be able to find his house, and the artifact should be over there."

"However, this is the 60th floor of the Dragon Cave underground city, which is extremely dangerous. Let's stick together."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Ella's suggestion.

.......

Just as Ella and her group began searching the surrounding area, at this moment, in the players' gathering place...

The newly resurrected Star Pulse, with tears streaming down his face, was telling everyone about his tragic experiences.
