Learning to play games, a 40-year-old woman achieves a remarkable turnaround.

Chapter 251 Listen to others and eat enough

A hint of worry flashed in Little 9's round eyes as she explained earnestly, "My lord, in the normal mode of the series' storyline, with your abilities and the assistance of the battle spirits, you can easily conquer any dungeon boss solo."

However, from this instance onwards, the difficulty of each subsequent story instance will be drastically different, increasing exponentially. To ensure success, teaming up is the best option.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao suddenly realized what was happening, a hint of annoyance appearing on his face as he raised his hand and patted his forehead.

I chuckled self-deprecatingly, "So that's how it is! It's all my fault for getting a little carried away after just learning the advanced fighting techniques. I didn't read the plot explanation and walkthrough carefully, so I forgot about this."

Xiao 9's words immediately alerted Yuan Bao. Without hesitation, she tapped her finger and quickly opened the plot explanation interface.

His eyes scanned the screen quickly, not missing a single detail, carefully studying the strategy information for the upcoming dungeon boss.

It turns out that the BOSS they were about to encounter was Lady Flower.

After drinking the Meng Po soup, this flower maiden should have forgotten her past life and been reincarnated smoothly. However, she had an obsession in her heart and insisted on staying on the banks of the River of Oblivion, waiting foolishly for her beloved.

However, the effects of the Meng Po soup prevented her from remembering her lover's appearance, and in the endless waiting, she often fell into madness.

Once it enters berserk mode, its combat value will skyrocket exponentially. Especially in hard mode, going it alone is almost like throwing an egg against a rock. The system strongly recommends that players team up to conquer it.

Yuan Bao was well aware of the principle that "listen to advice and you'll have a full meal," and after reading the guide, he did not hesitate for a moment.

She decisively exited the story instance interface, her eyes quickly searching to see if the system had issued a team quest notification for this storyline, trying to find like-minded teammates as soon as possible to face the upcoming difficult challenges together.

Yuan Bao was intently searching for team information on the system interface when the screen suddenly lit up, and a team invitation highlighted in red popped up.

The invitation title read "Wangchuan Flower Maiden Dungeon Raid - Hard Mode", and the team leader was "Yixiao Naihe".

Yuan Bao's eyes lit up, and he clicked the team application button without hesitation.

Almost instantly, the team leader "Yi Xiao Nai He" spoke in the team chat: "Welcome new teammates! Let's try to break the record for the fastest clear of the Flower Maiden dungeon this time."

During the conversation, "Yi Xiao Nai He" learned that Yuan Bao possessed the unique skill of the Medicine King, enabling him to perform group healing.

"This is absolutely crucial! Yuan Bao, the important task of leading the team of doctors is now in your hands."

"Yi Xiao Nai He" immediately made the decision.

Yuan Bao then added, "I also contracted with four divine beasts of the battle spirits. Their attack power should not be underestimated, and they can be of great use in battle."

These words instantly enlivened the channel.

"Fantastic! With this powerful boost, we're in luck this time!" Teammate "Dawn" exclaimed excitedly.

The rogue chimed in, "Looks like this dungeon will be a breeze!" Meteor sent a string of thumbs-up emojis.

After some discussion, the group finalized their battle plan.

"Let's go!" Following the captain's command, "Yi Xiao Nai He," the entire group passed through the teleportation array and arrived at the banks of the River of Oblivion in the blink of an eye.

A chilling mist instantly enveloped everyone, and from afar came the faint, mournful cries of the Flower Maiden.

Yuan Bao took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and stood beside the four majestic divine beasts, their bodies radiating light.

Just then, a shrill roar came from the depths of the mist, and everyone's nerves tensed instantly. The weapons in their hands shone brightly, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

No sooner had Hua Niangzi's roar subsided than a graceful figure, enveloped in thick black mist, shot swiftly from the surface of the River of Oblivion.

Her long hair danced wildly like snakes, her white dress was stained with blood, and her three eyes, glowing with an eerie red light, were like searchlights from hell. The moment they locked onto the crowd, it sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Prepare for battle! Proceed according to plan!" Captain Yi Xiao Naihe decisively gave the order.

Yuan Bao swiftly used the Medicine King's Divine Hand technique to buff her teammates with a layer of pale golden shield, and the four divine beasts also formed a battle formation around her as instructed.

The Azure Dragon coiled and rose into the sky, its breath causing the surrounding temperature to plummet; the White Tiger was poised to strike, its roar causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Po Xiao, wielding a sharp blade, charged towards Hua Niangzi like a black lightning bolt.

But Lady Hua moved with ghostly grace, easily dodging the attacks. With a flick of her sleeve, several black energy blades shot out like flying knives.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Bao immediately commanded the Vermilion Bird to spread its wings and fly high, spewing out raging flames to form a wall of fire in the air, blocking all the air blades.

The rogue and the meteor were not to be outdone. The rogue used magic to summon a swamp at the feet of the flower maiden, trying to restrict her movements; while the meteor kept shooting arrows with a dizzying effect.

Enraged, Lady Hua roared to the sky, and the black mist around her instantly boiled and condensed into sharp spikes.

With quick reflexes, Yi Xiao Nai shouted, "Everyone scatter!" The crowd quickly dispersed, the spikes grazing their clothes and creating deep craters in the ground.

Just as Lady Hua was preparing to launch a new attack, Yuan Bao seized the opportunity and commanded the four divine beasts to launch a joint attack.

The chilling aura of the Azure Dragon, the clawing wind of the White Tiger, the flames of the Vermilion Bird, and the rocky projectiles of the Black Tortoise surged toward Lady Hua like a tide.

Hua Niangzi let out a painful roar, and the black mist around her began to dissipate.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, Lady Hua suddenly drank a mouthful of water from the River of Oblivion, and her aura suddenly surged, and her previously injured parts quickly recovered.

"Oh no, she's gone berserk!" Yuan Bao exclaimed.

Yi Xiao Naihe immediately adjusted the tactics: "Yuan Bao, focus on healing; Po Xiao, engage in close combat; Pi Zi and Liu Xing, attack from a distance!"

The group quickly adjusted their mindset and rejoined the battle.

Yuan Bao quickly activated his skills, and the light of the Medicine King's Divine Hand flashed continuously on his teammates, promptly healing their wounds.

With his agile skills, Po Xiao nimbly weaved around Hua Niangzi, dodging her deadly attacks time and time again.

The rogue and the meteor intensified their attack, raining down magical beams and arrows upon the flower maiden.

Hua Niangzi waved her arms wildly, causing the waters of the River of Oblivion to surge into towering waves that swept towards the crowd.

Yuan Bao commanded Xuanwu to step forward, and its huge shell instantly transformed into a solid barrier, blocking the impact of the giant wave.

During the fierce battle, Yuan Bao discovered that the jade pendant on Hua Niangzi's chest was her weakness.

She immediately informed her teammates of this discovery, and Yi Xiao Naihe made a decisive decision: "Dawn, seize the opportunity to attack the jade pendant!"

Bo Xiao took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and charged towards Hua Niangzi.

Just as Lady Hua was about to launch her attack, Dawn leaped up, his sharp blade piercing precisely at the jade pendant.

With a crisp cracking sound, Lady Flower let out a desperate roar, and her massive body slowly collapsed...
