My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

The distance between the lake and Moonlight Cave isn't particularly far, only about ten meters. In the game, players are all enhanced, so at level 15, they can dive across by simply holding their breath. But the main problem is that those demonic carp are too annoying. That's the main reason.

Leng Yihan, a level 75 player, was naturally not afraid of the demonic carp. She quickly crossed the center of the lake and arrived at the Moonlight Cave. After a quick dash into the cave, Xue Yunhuang immediately let go of Leng Yihan's back and got off. She looked curiously at the entrance of the cave. The lake water seemed to be blocked outside the cave by a mysterious magical force, unable to flow into the cave. However, the cave's depths were not far from the end. Not far in front of the stone wall, there was a magic circle carved on the ground. But it was definitely not the kind of teleportation circle in the main city. It was more like a magic circle that Xue Yunhuang had never seen before in the game.

That's normal, though. Xue Yunhuang is a newbie, so it would be strange if she recognized the magic circle. Just as she was about to ask Leng Yihan what it was, she saw Leng Yihan take a step and stand on the magic circle. She waved to her and said, "This is the teleportation circle to enter the dungeon. The teleportation circle will be activated when the whole team steps on it. Come on."

"Oh...oh!" Xue Yunhuang was stunned for a moment before she immediately reacted and ran forward to step onto the magic circle with Leng Yihan. As soon as they stepped on, the stone wall in front of Xue Yunhuang suddenly became distorted, and a passage appeared. At the same time, another new task appeared in the task bar.

Side Quest: Moonlight Cave (Instance)

Objective: Clear Moonlight Cave and defeat its final boss. (0/1)

[First Clear Reward: A random piece of equipment of excellent to perfect quality that matches the dungeon level.]

"More...more equipment!" Xue Yunhuang swallowed hard and looked at Leng Yihan.

"Hurry up, Yiwei! I'll watch you slaughter them all so I can get the latest gear!"

"Let's not complain about you calling yourself 'this young lady' for now. I think you need to train yourself properly. Didn't you want to play a melee priest? Go for the fork in the road, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right. Trust yourself. I'll save you if you're in danger." After saying that, Leng Yihan took a step back, clearly intending to stand by and do nothing. Xue Yunhuang was about to plead for her when she saw Leng Yihan close her eyes and cover her ears.

"Instead of pleading for mercy, we should think about how to deal with those monsters," Leng Yihan said, but he still covered his ears and closed his eyes. Xue Yunhuang glared at him and then walked alone towards the fork in the road ahead.

Before the fork in the road, she didn't immediately go forward. Instead, she cautiously looked to the left of the road she was going to take in the distance to see if there were any enemies. Sure enough, she saw three strange 'fishmen'. They looked like fish with four limbs and were holding tridents.

Just as she was cautiously observing the road to the left, a whooshing sound rang out, and a trident pierced towards her from beside her. If Leng Yihan hadn't intervened in time, Xue Yunhuang would probably have lost more than half of her health.

"Don't just focus on that side, watch out for what's behind you too. This time, just take care of this one first, and the strength will increase in turn." Leng Yihan said, then used a Flash and Shadow Strike to rush towards the murlocs behind her. With a single Waltz, she instantly killed two murlocs, then turned around to watch the last murloc's duel with Xue Yunhuang.

Although Xue Yunhuang sometimes seems a bit slow-witted, she didn't do anything as foolish as going for pure damage with her skills. At level 1, she naturally chose Holy Strike, which has a low cooldown and high output against priests. Then at level 5, she chose instant-cast Heal instead of Holy Shield, which only becomes powerful in the late game and increases attack speed and damage. The stats of Holy Shield are really mediocre until the late game, and it's not as practical as a single Heal.

[Skill: Divine Shield]

[Learning Level: 5]

[Cooldown: 20 seconds]

[Effect: Grants the player a Holy Shield equal to 5% of the player's health, and the player with the Holy Shield gains 10% of the Cleric's attack speed and attack power.]

[Next level: The Holy Shield's value is equal to 5.5% of the player's health, and the player gains 11% attack speed and attack power.]

At first glance, this skill seems powerful, but upon closer inspection, the low attack speed and attack bonus of the Priest are indeed worrying. Coupled with the low health in the early game, this Holy Shield can't withstand much damage, and the Healing spell can restore 10% of health at once.

[Skill: Instant Heal]

[Learning Level: 5]

[Cooldown: 10 seconds]

[Effect: Restores health to a single target equal to 10% of their maximum health plus 10% of their vulnerable health.]

[Next level: Restores health to a single target equal to 11% of their maximum health + 11% of their vulnerable health.]

The level 10 skill didn't choose the offensive Double Strike, but instead opted for the more reliable Protection of Companions instead of Holy Shield.

[Skill: Protection of Companions]

[Learning Level: 10]

[Cooldown: 30 seconds]

[Effect: Grants a single target a shield equal to 5% of the maximum health of the player with the highest health in the party.]

[Next level: Apply a shield equal to 5.5% of the maximum health of the player with the highest health in the party to a single target.]

Don't forget, there's a level 75 player in this team. Leng Yihan's equipment is already top-tier, except for the lack of special effects, so its attributes are extremely overpowered.

So, how much of Xue Yunhuang's health is equivalent to 5% of Leng Yihan's maximum health?

"Protection!" Xue Yunhuang shouted softly, and a shield full of health bars was stacked on Xue Yunhuang's health bar. Ignoring the Murloc's output, after the Holy Strike Hammer, she immediately used the Novice Wooden Stick to smash the Murloc's head repeatedly, while using the skill she learned at level 15 - Falling Star.

[Skill: Falling Star]

[Learning Level: 15]

[Cooldown: 15 seconds]

[Effect: Makes the next attack on an enemy stun them for 1 second.]

[Next level: Makes the next instance of damage dealt to an enemy stun them for 1.2 seconds.]

With the fishman under control, Xue Yunhuang became even more unrestrained, swinging her staff faster and harder, each blow piercing flesh, making Leng Yihan shudder.

"Huff...huff...who else!"

A few dozen seconds later, Xue Yunhuang successfully solo-killed the poor fishman.

55. About Xue Yunhuang's solo adventure into the Moonlight Cave and the persistent girl.

The first move was a stun on the head of a murloc. Then, with a quick step, the player flashed to the murloc's side and unleashed a flurry of blows to its head. Meanwhile, the murloc's companion was blocked from receiving the attack and was unable to support it. As a result, another murloc was instantly killed by Leng Yihan's Shadow Slash.

After Leng Yihan instantly killed the murloc, there were still two murlocs left on the field. Leng Yihan used Shadow Step to leave and watched from the sidelines as Xue Yunhuang furiously attacked the two murlocs.

With the shield generated by Leng Yihan's high health, Xue Yunhuang endured the damage from the murloc while frantically hammering the murloc in front of her with her wooden stick, causing its health to plummet.

59%...

51%...

42%...

36%...

It's just a regular AI after all. Xue Yunhuang's little trick was pretty clever, using a fishman to separate herself from another fishman, creating a one-on-one situation first.

Leng Yihan couldn't help but smile slightly. This merman was just an ordinary monster. Its only attack method was to stab with a trident, but it was too slow and could be easily dodged by Xue Yunhuang.

In the end, the murloc who was blocked by two men was gloriously killed by Xue Yunhuang. Xue Yunhuang ignored the trident thrust at her by the murloc behind her, rushed forward and swung her wooden stick, beating the murloc until he was dizzy and seeing stars. In the end, he was also successfully killed by Xue Yunhuang.

"Huff...huff..." Xue Yunhuang sat down wearily against the wall after killing the two fishmen. She did not continue to explore deeper. The staff technique she had just used was obviously very exhausting. Leng Yihan felt that this staff technique must have been a random, haphazard way of striking. Only this kind of staff technique could produce such a thuggish aura.

"I'll tell you again so you don't forget. The fork order is left, right, left, left, right, left, right. There are eight waves of monsters to deal with along the way. I'll handle the other fork. Also, you can't use your companion's protection anymore."

"Ah... what should we do then!" Xue Yunhuang, who was sitting on the ground, looked up in surprise when she heard Leng Yihan's words. Her current ability to solo was undoubtedly due to the shield provided by Leng Yihan's high health. Although the shield did not last for a period of time, if Leng Yihan limited the number of times she could use it, she would have no skills to protect herself and output damage safely after the shield broke. She only had a healing spell to restore her health.

"If you can't hold on, just dodge. Use dodge to avoid the murlocs' attacks. You'll have to fight three murlocs each time for the next seven waves. And in terms of stamina, Oracle's fatigue recovery is only 30%, but you look exhausted right now. It's really worrying whether you can make it to the end of the dungeon."

Upon hearing Leng Yihan's words, a glint of light flashed in Xue Yunhuang's eyes, as if she had seen a way to save herself: "So that means! I can rest when I'm too tired to fight?!" Just as Xue Yunhuang was secretly delighted, Leng Yihan took out a glass bottle containing a strange orange-yellow liquid.

"If you really can't hold on any longer, you can drink a bottle of this fatigue reliever, and all fatigue will disappear immediately."

[Item: Fatigue Relief Agent]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: Relieves fatigue]

[Usage requirement: Feeling tired]

[Note: If you're tired, don't want to work, don't want to fight monsters, don't want to do homework, then try this fatigue reliever produced by our 'Meishayong' company! One bottle will guarantee you're full of energy!]

"Ah?! Are you a demon?!" Xue Yunhuang cried out with a mournful face, but it was no use. Leng Yihan put away the potion, reached out a hand, and pulled Xue Yunhuang up from the ground.

Xue Yunhuang was half-heartedly pulled up from the ground by Leng Yihan. Her reluctance was written all over her face. After picking up the wooden stick that she had just dropped, Xue Yunhuang took a deep breath and adjusted her state of mind.

The two walked about fifty meters to the next fork in the road. The correct path at the second fork was to the right, so Leng Yihan cleared out the monsters on the wrong path on the left, while Xue Yunhuang dealt with the monsters on the correct path.

Instant Flash - Shadow Strike - Waltz!

The corpses of three murlocs lay on the ground (don't forget the bug with the Nether Dancer, the corpses won't disappear unless you leave the instance). Leng Yihan then flicked the blood off the dagger that Xue Yunhuang couldn't see. Xue Yunhuang sighed and rushed to the right.

Although the stick in his hand was wielded with fluid and powerful movements, it was actually chaotic, formless, and spiritless. Simply put, it was just... wielding the stick and then randomly hitting things, relying on the character's superior physical abilities to swing the stick blindly.

However, this drawback is obvious. Although it is not apparent now, once Xue Yunhuang loses the shield provided by her companions, she will no longer have a safe space to unleash her attacks.

Although the shield is thick, its defense still varies depending on the character attached to it. If Xue Yunhuang doesn't dodge these three tridents, the shield's health is decreasing rapidly. What's worse, Xue Yunhuang's swing speed is getting slower and slower, and she's running out of stamina. If this continues, she'll die sooner or later.

Fortunately, the official Oracle is still humane; at least for dungeons below level 70, players can revive within the dungeon on any difficulty level other than Normal. However, for players above level 70... sorry, no, that's how it is to clear the dungeon in one life.

Xue Yunhuang's shield was finally reduced to half of her health. The three murlocs thrust out their tridents again, and Xue Yunhuang's health instantly dropped to a dangerous 7%. Xue Yunhuang immediately jumped back to cast a healing spell while becoming more careful with her movements, focusing all her attention on dodging. She could only occasionally seize a small opportunity to use the combination of Falling Star and Holy Strike to attack the nearest target, and then create distance to continue maneuvering.

Xue Yunhuang's health gradually recovered during the long struggle, but fatigue ultimately delayed her actions. Her sluggish reactions made it difficult to dodge the three tridents that were thrust out at the same time, so she had no choice but to return to the entrance of the dungeon and rush over again.

After seeing Xue Yunhuang's health drop to zero and return, Leng Yihan didn't wait for her in the same spot, but instead turned around and ran towards the entrance of the dungeon.

At the dungeon entrance, Xue Yunhuang collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Aches and pains swept through her entire body. Although rebirth would restore all her health and mana, her 'stamina' stat would not be restored, so her current physical condition was really not good.

"If it were a 100% recovery of stamina, you would have already fainted. Drink it." Leng Yihan appeared beside Xue Yunhuang at some point, holding the potion to relieve fatigue in her hand.

Xue Yunhuang immediately used the potion after receiving it (the potion would be used immediately as soon as she made the action of drinking it), and the soreness and fatigue in her body disappeared in an instant, just like when she first entered the dungeon and had plenty of energy.

"Keep it up." Without Leng Yihan pulling her up, Xue Yunhuang sprang to her feet and charged aggressively toward the second fork in the road, continuing to fight the three monsters that couldn't recover. But this time she was noticeably more cautious, making sure that she wouldn't get hit with each attack.

Xue Yunhuang's output was already low, and this made the fight even slower. Finally, when she was almost out of stamina, she was hit by the three-pronged attack and returned to the cave entrance. Leng Yihan handed Xue Yunhuang a potion once again.

Her fighting spirit seemed to be ignited. As soon as her strength was restored, she rushed towards the three little monsters again and engaged them in a fierce battle once more. She was defeated time and time again. After the seventh time, Xue Yunhuang finally dealt with the three fishmen, and once again, she was too exhausted to stand up and sat on the cave floor.

"Finally... finally passed, hahaha!" Leng Yihan was also very surprised by Xue Yunhuang's perseverance. She originally thought that this guy would give up after two or three tries, but she didn't expect him to persist to the end.

"Don't forget, there are still six waves of monsters to come."

"Hey?!"

56. What about Xue Yunhuang's extreme challenges and the scene of catching her husband cheating?

On the way to the next fork in the road, Xue Yunhuang suddenly turned her head and said, "Yiwei... I want to try to kill six monsters at once."

"Oh? You want to pull all the monsters on the left and right sides to the middle to fight? That's possible... but it's very difficult for you right now. Are you sure you want to turn the difficulty to the highest level all at once?" Leng Yihan was surprised for a moment when she heard Xue Yunhuang's words, but she quickly recovered. She just didn't expect that Xue Yunhuang would challenge herself to fight six fishmen at once when she was already struggling to fight three fishmen.

“Yes.” Xue Yunhuang nodded very seriously: “I think I need more pressure to push myself.” Hearing this, Leng Yihan shrugged and naturally wouldn’t stop Xue Yunhuang. Since she wanted to do it, let her do whatever she wanted. Anyway, there would be no loss if she died in the dungeon, she would just have to run back.

Let me explain here first: the correct route is [left-right-right-left-right-left-right-left-right]. This is the only way to reach the boss level. If you take the wrong route, you'll be stuck in a dead end. However, there is a hidden room on the second left turn...

Back to the present, Xue Yunhuang saw the fork in the road and rushed straight in without saying a word. This was the third wave of monsters. After stepping into the aggro range of the monsters on the left, Xue Yunhuang immediately ran to the right and then pulled back to the middle. Six murlocs, attacking six times per second, could take away at least half of her health each time.

Six strikes were enough to easily kill Xue Yunhuang. Xue Yunhuang struck first, knocking one of the stunners with Falling Star, and then rolled away to dodge the four tridents. At the same time, she raised her wooden stick to block the trident that the merman in front of her was stabbing down. She activated Holy Strike and hit the merman in front of her with just one blow. After hearing the sound behind her, she immediately rolled to the side in a sorry state, barely dodging the attack from behind.

When Xue Yunhuang stood up again, she had already put away the wooden stick and was focused entirely on dodging the attacks of the six fishmen, so she had no time to pay attention to her surroundings.

After watching for a while, Leng Yihan shook her head. There were too many unnecessary movements. However, Xue Yunhuang had only been playing for a short time... and her current level was outstanding among beginners, but among intermediate players... she was indeed too weak.

"Xue Yunhuang, jump one more time." After watching for a while, Leng Yihan suddenly said. Although Xue Yunhuang didn't know why, she did as she was told. However, she found that the distance the fishman in front of her was stabbing seemed to be longer than before...?

No, it's longer because it involved a short, sharp thrust!

Xue Yunhuang was shocked, and the fishmen beside her began to stab her one after another. Xue Yunhuang was too slow to react and died on the spot.
