Looking at the nightmare's stats, Qiao Yu felt a twinge of pain in his teeth. This nightmare was obviously just a small monster in Nightmare Village. Could it be that even the small monsters in this novice S-level dungeon were this twisted?
After the nightmare finished a mouthful of meat, it licked its dark lips and turned its gaze towards Yang Xiangdi with lingering desire.
It liked fatty meat!
Whoosh!
The nightmare pounced on Yang Xiangdi, its movement speed so fast that it left afterimages.
"Holy crap! Don't come over here! Eating so much fatty meat will give you high cholesterol!"
Yang Xiangdi looked at the nightmare's large mouth full of sharp teeth and retreated in fear.
If he were bitten, the doctor wouldn't even know how to stitch him up.
At a critical moment, a petite figure, carrying a large shield that was extremely disproportionate to her body, appeared in front of the tall and plump Yang Xiangdi.
Crack!
The nightmare bit down on the shield, leaving two rows of deep teeth marks. A bright red "-10" rose from Zuo You's head.
"Yang Xiangdi, run! Zhao Ziyue, heal me! Qiao Yu, summon the undead to restrain this nightmare!"
At this critical moment, Zuo You demonstrated her strong leadership skills, directing the team in an orderly manner.
"Understood!" The three of them, Qiao Yu, replied in unison.
Yang Xiangdi immediately distanced himself from the nightmare.
"Crazy Healing!"
Zhao Ziyue released her skill, and Zuo You's health bar instantly filled up.
Zuo You breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. As long as everyone cooperated well, solving this nightmare wouldn't be difficult.
Now all that was missing was Qiao Yu's undead creature. Zuo You turned her head to look, and her smile instantly froze on her face.
She saw Qiao Yu charging forward with a staff in hand, just like a street thug in a brawl.
Wasn't this guy a necromancer?
"Qiao Yu, come back! You'll die if the nightmare gets close! Qiao Yu!"
Zuo You immediately became anxious. Even she, a tank, could barely withstand the monster's damage. Qiao Yu, a necromancer, would definitely be killed instantly.
"Yu-ge, come back quickly, that's not how you use a staff!" Yang Xiangdi shouted.
The hearts of the other students also clenched. Was Qiao Yu, who possessed a hidden class, going to die young?
No matter what they thought, it was too late to stop him now. The distance between Qiao Yu and the nightmare was almost nonexistent.
Some of the female students couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene of Qiao Yu being bitten to death by the nightmare and covered their eyes.
"Atada!"
Qiao Yu slammed his staff on the nightmare's head. In the horrified gazes of everyone, a bright red "-50" floated above the nightmare's head.
The nightmare, which had brought endless fear to everyone, turned into ashes just like that.
Zuo You: ......
Yang Xiangdi: ......
Zhao Ziyue: .......
Other students: .......
Is this how necromancers fight their enemies?
The nightmare with fifty health points was instantly killed? This guy Qiao Yu must be cheating!
Qiao Yu turned his head to look at Zuo You.
"Zuo You, did you call me just now?"
"......It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you've eaten."
Zuo You had a dazed expression. She wondered if she was hallucinating. She actually saw a necromancer engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
Qiao Yu walked to the place where the nightmare had died to investigate.
To Qiao Yu's surprise, the nightmare didn't turn into a soul core after being killed, but into a black stone with a winding, mysterious symbol on it.
Qiao Yu picked up the stone and went to the first floor to compare it. He discovered that the black stone that Village Chief Wo Gan wouldn't let them remove was exactly the same as the black stone that the nightmare monster dropped after death.
Qiao Yu vaguely had a feeling that this black stone must be related to the core secrets of Nightmare Village.
Moreover, he had another question... Why didn't he get any free attribute points for killing a nightmare in melee combat?
Could it be...
"Qiao Yu, did you find anything?"
Zuo You saw Qiao Yu hurrying down from the third floor, afraid that something might happen to him, and quickly followed.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm just thinking too much."
Qiao Yu put the black stone in his pocket and shook his head.
The night passed without incident. The sunlight of the next morning tore through the long night.
The students who shared a room with Qiao Yu had a feeling of rebirth after experiencing last night's events and seeing the sunlight again after walking out of the house.
"Oh my god! We really have to thank Zuo You and Qiao Yu last night! That was close! I almost lost my life!"
"Yeah, that nightmare still terrifies me when I think about it!"
"I'm not saying anything else, I think clinging to Qiao Yu's thigh is definitely the right thing to do! He's so strong, he solved that nightmare in one go."
"It's not just him! Zuo You directly withstood the nightmare's attack with her shield earlier, Zuo You is also very powerful!"
Ma Fei, who had just walked out of the next room, perked up his ears slightly. The discussions of several students immediately entered his ears.
After some eavesdropping, he finally understood what had happened in the next room last night, and immediately said.
"Hmph! If I had been there, I definitely wouldn't have let Zuo You, a girl, go up to take the damage! Hiding behind a woman is not what a real man does! A mere nightmare, I can destroy it with a single sword!"
After Ma Fei finished speaking, he took out the novice longsword distributed in the Otherworld and made a handsome sword flourish.
Coincidentally, Qiao Yu and the others also walked out of the house, and they looked at Ma Fei, who was posing, in surprise.
"Class monitor, you're doing morning exercises so early? You're really working hard!"
Yang Xiangdi's fat face was full of admiration.
Qiao Yu also nodded secretly, that's why he was the class monitor, just this hard work surpassed many people.
"Cough cough, I'm just practicing casually."
Ma Fei coughed awkwardly twice, put away his sword, and walked quickly to Zuo You.
"Zuo You, stay in a room with me tonight! I will definitely not let you take damage!"
After Ma Fei finished speaking, he gave Qiao Yu a provocative look.
Zuo You was a little puzzled when she heard this.
"But my class is a heavy-armored tank, if I don't tank, who will?"
Ma Fei's expression instantly froze, and he quickly explained.
"No, what I mean is that I can deal with the nightmare alone, I don't need you to do anything at all!"
In Ma Fei's view, even Qiao Yu, a mage, could win a nightmare in melee combat, wouldn't it be easy for him, a sword cultivator, to do so?
"Ma Fei!"
Zuo You's expression became serious.
"Your idea is wrong. Teacher Xue said that we must unite and help each other. The power of an individual is definitely not as good as the power of a group! You can't always think about working alone! You should learn more from Qiao Yu!"
Ma Fei was full of black lines from being lectured, and when he turned his head to see Qiao Yu's indifferent look, Ma Fei couldn't help but feel very aggrieved.
Just as he was about to say something to save his image, Village Chief Wo Gan suddenly rushed over with a large group of villagers.
The villagers were holding weapons such as dung forks, hoes, and wood knives, and it was clear that they were not friendly!
Wo Gan, who was walking in the front, was even more full of murderous intent!
"Take them all down! Then put this group of people on the pyre and wash away their sins with flames!"
"Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot!"
