188: Chapter 188 I Do Not Agree to This Marriage
[ Demon Shark · Trial BOSS · 1st Rebirth ]
Tip: After killing the Trial BOSS, the exit restriction can be lifted.
Jiang He was stunned upon hearing the system prompt and nearly cursed out loud.
In this area, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Now a boss guarding the exit has popped up?
Isn't this clearly making things difficult for him?
What is he supposed to fight with? Chewing it with his teeth?
"Damn it!" Jiang He rushed toward Gu Tian and shouted, "Aren't you familiar with all the monsters around here? Go talk to it quickly and let us pass."
Gu Tian looked troubled.
He really did have a good relationship with the monsters in this area.
But this one... he had truly never seen it before.
"Um, I'm not familiar with this one."
"Damn, if you're not familiar with it, why are you acting like a big shot?"
Jiang He stamped his feet in anger.
"Pah, and you call yourself a Holy Son, you can't even handle the monsters right at your own doorstep."
"It's over, it's over, we're completely finished now!" Jiang He shouted while clutching his head.
Here, he couldn't use any skills.
Gu Tian was the same.
Just then, Ah Li standing to the side stepped forward.
"Master, don't worry, I can fight."
Upon hearing this, Jiang He and Gu Tian were both stunned.
Right, Ah Li isn't a human; she isn't restricted here.
But as soon as he thought of this, Jiang He shook his head in disappointment.
"Forget it, you won't be able to beat it."
Although Ah Li's level had increased quite a bit while following Gu Tian, reaching level 98 now, the opponent was a 1st Rebirth BOSS!
The level gap might not seem large, but the difference in strength was worlds apart.
"It's okay, I am willing to fight for Master."
"No." Jiang He and Gu Tian shouted in unison.
Ah Li is Jiang He's Battle Pet and can also sense Jiang He's task.
She knew that if her Master wanted to leave this place, he had to kill the monster in front of them.
And right now, only her attributes weren't restricted, allowing her to fight the BOSS.
"Gu Tian, don't try to persuade me. He is my Master; fighting for him is my mission."
Gu Tian's expression became even more troubled.
He understood this logic, but Ah Li was simply no match for this BOSS; going up there was practically suicide.
At this moment, Jiang He also said firmly, "No, I cannot let you take this risk. You can't beat it. Let's think of another way."
"Master, I..."
"That's enough, listen to me on this."
Jiang He gave a direct order, and Ah Li dared not disobey, so she had to step aside.
Gu Tian cast a grateful look.
Jiang He didn't appreciate it, however, and rolled his eyes at him.
"Don't pull that with me, you figure out a way to solve it."
"Huh? I have to figure out a way?"
"Duh, this is your territory. If you don't think of a way, who will?"
Jiang He glared at him, then turned around and pulled Ah Li toward the tribe.
"Let's go, Ah Li, go back and rest with Master. If this kid can't think of a solution, you two shouldn't be together either—as part of your family, I do not agree to this match."
After speaking, he angrily pulled Ah Li toward the tribe.
Gu Tian stood frozen on the spot, looking aggrieved.
What kind of situation was this?
He went for a swim, and his wife disappeared?
Back at the tribe, Jiang He sat in the grass hut, pondering how to deal with that monster.
Ah Li thoughtfully brought over a cup of water.
"Master, drink some water. Gu Tian is already thinking of a way."
Jiang He glanced at her irritably.
"Hmph, already siding with him?"
"Ah? I, I didn't..."
"Anyway, I said it, if that kid can't come up with a solution, I will never agree to you two being together."
Ah Li lowered her head and smiled secretly.
"Alright, alright, we won't be together, I'll listen to Master."
Jiang He ignored her and lay down on the stone bed, calling out in his mind: "cheat system! Are you still alive? Make a sound if you are."
[ Heh heh... thinking of me now? ]
"Damn, what kind of talk is that? When have I ever forgotten about you? Stop talking nonsense and think of a way for me!"
The cheat system was silent for a moment.
[ This area is just too bizarre. Not only can you not use skills, but even I cannot mobilize any functions. ]
"Damn it, I asked you to think of a way, not to listen to your complaints!"
Jiang He was truly anxious.
The cheat system was his greatest trump card; if even the cheat system had no solution, he was truly at his wit's end.
Just as he was arguing with the cheat system, Gu Tian's voice came from outside the grass hut: "I have a way—"
Gu Tian rushed into the grass hut, looking excited.
"I know how to deal with that monster!"
"How do we deal with it?" Jiang He sat up abruptly, excited upon hearing this.
"This matter still has to rely on you yourself."
"Damn it!" Jiang He was furious.
"If I could handle it myself, why would I need you to think of a way?"
"No, no, no, listen to me, only you can kill it."
"What do you mean?"
It turned out that after Jiang He left earlier, Gu Tian suddenly realized a problem: When he was underwater, where did he get the strength to throw both Jiang He and himself out of the water?
Logically, after returning to this area, all attributes should be lost, so why could he still feel the power surging within his body?
He checked his attributes and discovered: all attributes gained through leveling were gone, but the attributes attached to this "Styx Set" were actually still there!
Although his strength was far inferior to before, it should be more than enough to deal with a 1st Rebirth small BOSS.
Thinking of this, he jumped off the cliff again, intending to kill the monster directly.
But unexpectedly, the monster ignored him entirely and swam away.
Gu Tian wanted to chase, but the opponent was extremely fast underwater and impossible to catch.
After trying a few times, he finally determined: this monster only attacks Jiang He.
"Damn? It's just staring at me to attack? Are you getting excited now?" Jiang He was confused.
"No! I mean, only you can engage it in battle!"
"Engage what battle? I can't even beat a Forest Wolf right now, and you want me to solo a BOSS?"
Jiang He became angrier the more he heard.
Gu Tian had no choice but to quickly take off the Styx Set from his body and hand it over.
"If you wear this, won't you be able to fight?"
Jiang He was stunned.
Right, in this place, Gu Tian was just an ordinary person like him.
Don't look at Gu Tian's 65th Rebirth status; if they were actually wrestling here, it wasn't certain who would win.
Jiang He took the equipment and put it on, immediately gasping in shock.
These attributes were terrifyingly high!
After completely losing his level-based attributes, relying solely on this set of equipment, his attributes were already streets ahead of his previous level.
At this moment, he felt terrifyingly strong.
Earlier, he had also checked the attributes of that Demon Shark: HP, attack, defense, all were not much different from his current self.
At least in close-quarters combat, he had a fighting chance.
But if the opponent used skills, he would still be at a disadvantage.
The most troublesome thing was that the cheat system couldn't be used here, so he couldn't revive infinitely.
Once he died, he would likely be teleported out directly and face the penalty of losing ten levels.
Thinking of this, Jiang He steeled his heart. "Damn, screw it, let's die then!"
He had already made the worst-case plan: if he really died and was teleported back to the "Endless Purgatory", he would just walk the "Path of Death" again.
At most, he would waste some time leveling up again!
It was better than being trapped here forever!
"Damn it, it's just an octopus, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Let's go, let's kill it!"
Jiang He stepped out of the grass hut aggressively and headed straight for the cliff.
