My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 66: We’re on the Same Side

The pale face was right in front of him, and the next moment would be crimson claws.

Huo Yun could still feel that the dangerous aura behind him was also closing in, soon he would be facing a dilemma of one versus two.

Previously, three against one, he still couldn’t defeat the Faceless Scholar, and now it was even more absurd.

So he made a decision.

Even if he died, he needed to leave some shock for these two idiots.

But how should he do it?

An adept Hunter, possessing a high-quality purple longbow, with strong attributes in agility and insight, having powerful long-range abilities, but once approached, was almost helpless.

However, Huo Yun was different; he had a special ability.

Cash ability.

His family had equipped him with a Crystal Bomb.

This item was supported by pure rare-grade overlapping materials and was invaluable, handed to him to use for self-defense at the last moment.

Although its power wasn’t comparable to the Blood Mist Bomb’s sort of evil item, at such close proximity, it could still inflict around level 17 damage.

Huo Yun took out the palm-sized item but didn’t throw it; rather, he held it in his hand and dashed towards the nearest Faceless Scholar.

"I’m gonna blow you to hell!"

He usually restrained himself from swearing, but now emotion surged up.

Holding the bomb in one hand, he seized the scholar’s claw with the other.

Screech.

The sharp and pointed nails pierced his arm, yet he held tight, preventing the enemy from escaping.

The scholar realized the danger of the bomb, and leapt back trying to flee the danger zone, but Huo Yun grabbed it tightly, refusing to let go.

Boom!!!

The Crystal Bomb emitted a milky white light, turning into a perfect sphere of light, illuminating the dark forest.

Huo Yun was engulfed by the scorching light, but not totally resolved like choosing jade over tile, because he had a trump card, which was the special attribute on his chest armor, Savior.

A pale-blue barrier blocked the Crystal Bomb’s damage.

The Savior ability only took effect inside the Secret Realm, but its effect was powerful; if it claimed to block lethal damage once, then it would block lethal damage once.

Thus, Huo Yun’s self-destruct didn’t kill himself.

"Roar—"

Utilizing a precious revival and consumable item, he finally revealed the true nature of one Faceless Scholar.

However, Huo Yun was even more stunned, for he discovered that the terrifying thing still didn’t die despite everything.

After the light faded, the student struck by the explosion stood up staggering, miserable, but alive.

Bang!

Huo Yun hadn’t snapped out of his astonishment when he felt a heavy blow between his chest and abdomen.

Spurt.

He flew backwards, spraying blood all over, with his head and face covered in dirt.

He’d never been so embarrassed.

But when a man is about to die, he has no energy to pay attention to appearances.

He pulled himself up, leaned against a nearby broken tree stump, calmly waiting for the scholar to approach.

At this moment, Huo Yun didn’t understand why, but remembered Li Rui again.

Still alive?

He thought this in his heart, but felt it unlikely.

The scholar he encountered was numbered seven and six, meaning there were at least five equally powerful beings left in the forest. Combining this with notifications from the Secret Realm, everyone should be dead, and Huo Yun should be the last one.

So when a voice appeared by his ear, to him it was like a Celestial Thunder exploding.

"Still not dead, eh?"

Li Rui’s silhouette suddenly appeared standing in front of him.

"You."

Huo Yun felt a sense of unreality.

He Chengli appeared beside him, dragging him over: "This way, take care of yourself using the Golden Wound Medicine."

Wu Sun’s movement was a bit slower and only arrived then.

"Don’t be careless."

Now, the three after fishing five puppets, gained 75,000 experience; Li Rui had risen to level 14, needing 38,000 to reach level 15, still short by over 20,000.

So now seeing two puppets at once, he felt quite good.

Once Huo Yun regained his senses, he immediately shouted: "Their speed is fast, be extremely careful."

He actually already felt a bit odd, those two Faceless Scholars stopped their charge upon seeing Li Rui, seemingly cautious.

This situation certainly indicated they were a bit deterred by the newcomer, but Huo Yun found it hard to believe this guess.

More unbelievable was when Li Rui vanished into a golden light, he actually found it hard to catch.

"Don’t keep staring, don’t keep staring."

He Chengli said disdainfully, "Quickly heal the wounds, careful of dying from excessive bleeding."

Huo Yun couldn’t keep track of his thoughts, obediently took out the Golden Wound Medicine, and started applying it over his chest and abdomen wounds.

The effects of this Secret Realm tool were ridiculous, in a non-combat state, the wounds visibly healed.

While applying the medicine, he casually glanced at the battlefield.

Looking down: applied medicine on the side ribs.

Looking up: two puppets were charging forward.

Looking down: applied medicine on the upper abdomen.

Looking up: Li Rui radiated golden light.

Looking down: wiped off the blood on his waist.

Looking up: two puppets exploded.

?

Huo Yun was stunned, gobsmacked, and his hands completely froze.

"What? What just happened?"

"I just applied medicine, right? Just a few seconds? Why are there only two skins floating over there?"

However, the event settlement prompts didn’t lie, the two puppets were really dead, and in seconds.

On the contrary, He Chengli and the others seemed unsurprised by the scene.

Li Rui walked back from a distance, glanced at Huo Yun who had received urgent medical treatment, and smiled: "You seem hard to kill, huh?"

"You, why’d you save me, we are... competitors, aren’t we?"

"Ultimately, we’re all the same, let go of those minor disagreements."

Li Rui felt he said something modest, he was satisfied, "Furthermore, things are like this now, what’s the point in competing, all other Secret Realm agents’ souls are sealed, no task points, survival is the key."

Wu Sun said: "Exactly, we must unite."

Though he didn’t know what the four united could achieve.

At this moment, Huo Yun felt emotionally stirred; he had resolved to die, facing world NPCs, even just puppets, he felt unable to survive, yet unexpectedly, he was rescued.

Now, his mindset underwent a violent change.

"This person is unbelievably strong."

"I previously actually wanted him to work for me, am I worthy?"

Yet, thinking like this, expressing himself turned into: "If you really need my help, it’s not impossible, but just this once."

He Chengli rolled his eyes.

Li Rui didn’t mind, just said: "No rush, let’s first ascertain the situation, three at level 15, one at level 17... hmm..."

"What’s the matter?"

"Still unlikely to defeat that world NPC."

"Isn’t that obvious!! Completely discard that notion!"

The three shouted in unison.

Li Rui scratched his head: "Just joking."

"In these times, who’s joking with you! Quickly think about what to do!"

Li Rui soberly said: "We haven’t hooked any more puppets along the way, it should just be seven.

"Huo Yun mentioned before, there’s something dangerous in the depths of the Silent Forest. Previously, at Little Moon Lake, I also felt there was something lurking dangerously, and it seems real. I guess, the world NPC destroying task points came for that."

"If we were to hide, get far from that place. If he’s lazy to detour, not bothering to kill us, we might survive."
