I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 181 - 152: Farewell, Teacher (Part 4)
Lina sighed.
She wished her skills were as versatile as Rogel's.
...
With a bang, a cloud of black mist exploded in the water.
Rogel landed in the water, looking around.
This was a circular lagoon surrounded by reefs, and he was in the center.
[Lu!]
At that moment, a voice sounded from the corner.
A group of stocky, catfish-headed humanoid creatures were sitting in the shadows by the lagoon, staring intently at Rogel as he moved.
[...]
Seeing this, Rogel in the water couldn't help but show an awkward smile.
A while later.
[You have slain the reef fishmen and gained combat experience.]
[You have slain the reef fishmen and gained combat experience.]
[You found Fishman Mucus ×3.]
[You found Fishman Eye ×6.]
[...]
With a slight sound, Rogel sheathed his weapon.
The reef fishmen had become the souls under his blade.
[So fast?]
Lina, coming down from the rope, glanced at the fishmen corpses.
Rogel smiled and took out the Cave Pointer to check directions.
The pointer aimed at the darkness behind.
[Could there be monsters in there?]
Lina asked while pulling out the Pearl Lamp for illumination.
[There should be, so be careful not to get swallowed whole.]
Rogel teased.
Lina scoffed, not falling for his scare tactic.
Soon, the two reached the end of the cave.
However, they didn't see any sign of the cave.
This puzzled Rogel.
But the pointer indeed pointed forward.
Could it be underwater again?
Surprised, Rogel pulled out the Armor-Piercing Spear, attempting to strike the rock ahead.
With a bang, the stone shattered, revealing a small opening.
It was hidden behind a rock layer.
Rogel's eyes lit up, and he began widening the path with the Armor-Piercing Spear.
Soon, a roaring dragon statue and a stone door appeared behind the broken rock wall.
[Found it.]
Rogel said.
Lina, however, frowned, looking around with a serious expression.
[Don't go over yet; there seems to be something nearby.]
She seemed to sense something.
Rogel also didn't rush forward.
At present, every cave entrance is guarded by powerful monsters.
Clearly, the monster guarding this second land cave couldn't be those few seemingly unintelligent reef fishmen.
Rogel searched carefully but found nothing.
Could this monster be invisible?
[It should be there!]
Lina pointed to an area beside the stone door.
The two exchanged a glance, then pulled out several Skeleton Spirit Staffs and daggers.
Once their power was fully charged, the two launched their attacks at Lina's indicated spot.
Poof!
A purple outline appeared as the Skeleton Stripping Technique hit the creature, stripping away several tiny fangs.
However, it didn't cause significant damage.
This made Rogel furrow his brow.
This thing has no bones!
Crunch!
Lina's dagger stabbed fiercely into the creature, seemingly causing some damage.
A piercing shriek followed.
The monster briefly revealed its form.
It was a worm-shaped monster!
[Hidden Worm]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Boss]
[Level: 20]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Explanation: A worm with invisibility and blood-sucking abilities, watch your back!]
Whoosh!
The sound of air being split echoed.
After being injured, the worm sped away, launching toward an unknown direction.
Whoosh!
The next second, the Hidden Worm attacked Rogel.
Bang!
The blade met the Hidden Worm's mouth with a thud, not cutting it but indicating its skin was very tough.
Missing a strike, the Hidden Worm quickly pulled back, disappearing from their view, searching for another chance to attack.
"Can you pinpoint its location?"
Rogel asked cautiously.
As the monster and character levels increase, combat becomes more complex.
Faced with the Hidden Worm, unaffected by Skeleton Stripping and capable of invisibility, Rogel dared not underestimate it, switching to True Perspective for better control.
Another thud sounded, as Lina was attacked by the Hidden Worm.
Her power was weak now, struggling against such attacks; luckily, Rogel helped her escape.
"I can, but its speed is too fast!"
Lina's level was still too low.
If she were higher in level or equal to the Hidden Worm, she could easily handle it.
"Alright."
Rogel took a deep breath, focusing his mind.
Black mist rose, transforming Rogel into a Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry riding a skeleton warhorse.
After sensing for a moment, Rogel activated the cavalry's talent skills.
Seeing this, Lina gasped but had no time to inquire.
The Hidden Worm's attacks were becoming more frequent!
Moreover, the pressure was always on Lina's side!
As a result, Rogel had to turn around to help her, thereby exposing his back.
Whoosh!
As expected, the Hidden Worm was waiting for this moment, launching directly at Rogel's back.
With a swish, the Hidden Worm stuck to Rogel's back, opening its maw to bite down.
However, Rogel was unfazed.
This was the effect he wanted.
