Chapter 778 Violet To The Rescue!
Chapter 778 Violet To The Rescue!
Clang!
It was the Black Dragon Sword!
The ballooned-up rabbit in front of Liam actually spat out his Black Dragon Sword!
Liam was completely speechless. His heart began to beat uncontrollably as he walked over and picked up the sword.
He only had time to grab Luna and rush into the tower at the last second before the game crashed. He did not think about anything else. He was rushing out of a burning building, and he instinctively grabbed the person whom he wanted to save the most.
But unexpectedly, this rabbit in front of him had taken action on his behalf. She actually managed to run out and get the sword at the last minute!
Liam chuckled, shaking his head. What a peculiar creature! He really needed to appreciate her more!
But why the hell was she ginormous?
And then it happened again?
Staring innocently at Liam, the rabbit Violet opened her mouth, and once again, another item dropped.
Clang!
And this time, it was one of Shen Yue's legendary daggers!
"What the…" Liam was beyond shocked. His eyes were transfixed on the legendary treasure, which was more powerful than any weapon the first wave of beasts could drop and would likely be more powerful than any weapon dropped by subsequent waves as well.
The only reason he never bothered to focus on these items was that bringing them out of the game was almost impossible, and now this little rabbit had done just that.
His gaze then shifted from the solo dagger back to the rabbit as a thought entered his mind. Were these the only two items that she had brought with her?
As if answering his question, the rabbit opened her mouth again, and lo and behold, another item dropped. It was also a dagger, or, to be more precise, the second dagger of the legendary item set.
And then it started…
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Items started raining down one after the other without stopping.
Liam and Luna both stared at the rabbit in utter shock. Just what the heck was happening? Loot was piling up in front of them. The rabbit was spitting out item after item.
And her size was shrinking with each item that spilt from her mouth. Was this little thing a walking space ring? What was happening here? Like a chipmunk hoarding nuts, this rabbit had hoarded all the items into her mouth
How long was this little rabbit even out collecting all these treasures? How fast should her speed have been to gather everything?
Liam hadn't felt anything at all. He did not know when the rabbit summoned herself out or when she slipped into the space artifact along with him and Luna. Since he was completely focused on his mana core, he had missed the whole thing.
Now he watched the rabbit in awe as she slowly returned back to her former little self after emptying out everything that was within her mouth? Stomach? Where did she even keep all these?
He stared at the mysterious rabbit as she continued to put on the show for two to three minutes straight, puking out her guts.
And when the last item dropped… Liam's heart almost stopped.
Thud!
It was the stone tablet!
Unbelievable!
Liam squatted down in front of the pile of gold and the stone tablet that was on top of it. He then fell back, laughing his heart out.
Ba ha ha ha! Ba ha ha ha! This just blew up their odds of surviving the apocalypse!
He knew for certain that the divine priestess did not expect this to happen. How would her reaction be when she learned that he not only managed to escape unscathed, awakening his mana core, but also took everything along with him?
However, Liam's excitement was short-lived, and his gaze turned cold.
If she came to know that all of these were taken, then she was probably going to take out her anger on Mia or the old elf, or perhaps Asura or Lyana, or any of the people that were close to him.
The mere thought made him sober up from this unexpected lottery win. He let out a deep breath and stood up. "Thank you, Violet." He sincerely thanked the rabbit and picked her up. Even Luna leaned closer and gave the rabbit a pat with her small paw.
Chik. The rabbit bobbed her head and vanished in a puff of sparkling stardust that rushed into him. Unlike Luna, she was truly a low-maintenance pet.
Liam smiled, and he then, along with the fox, stepped out of the artifact. For now, he did not bother taking any of the items outside. For the first wave, this was completely unnecessary.
The beasts that emerged could be dealt with using common household weapons. Otherwise, the entire planet would have been wiped out with just this first wave.
He also wanted everyone to get their combat mojo back. If they got used to relying on weapons too much at this stage, then it was only going to hurt later on.
As Liam once again appeared in the outer world, Mei Mei was standing right there, along with one of the wyverns. "Brother, what happened? Are you alright? You suddenly disappeared?" The little girl's face was filled with worry.
But the next second, her eyes widened in shock as she saw the familiar little fox curled around Liam's neck.
"LUNA!" Mei Mei shrieked with delight. The little fox also didn't give her much attitude this time and allowed her to snuggle with her and pet her, at least for the first couple of seconds.
Liam sighed in relief, looking at the two little idiots in front of him. He did not know if he had achieved enough in this life, his second chance, but the sight in front of him was worth everything.
Whatever the future held in store for them, he was going to do everything in his power to ensure that this lasted.
"Alright. That's enough playing. How is everyone doing? What level are you?"
"I am at level 2 already!" Mei Mei smiled with glee and pride, only to be quickly reprimanded. "Don't fool around anymore. Level faster." Liam flicked her forehead.
"Ouch. Brother, you are so mean."
"Am I now? What level is Alex?"
The little girl immediately became quiet. "Sis Alex is at Level 3 already." She sulked and replied in a low voice.
"See how hard-working Alex is. You should be more like her."
Mei Mei didn't care for his stern voice and stuck her tongue out playfully. Liam helplessly gave her another forehead flick and smiled before walking back into the fray.
Mei Mei returned to her position as well, but this time there was no playfulness on her face.
She looked pretty darn serious, and her movements and actions looked more mature. Only in front of her brother did she always play the cute sibling part so that she could lighten his mood a little bit.
Meanwhile, Liam walked over to Alex and pulled her aside. "I am heading out now for a few minutes. Can you guys manage by yourself?"
"Yes. You can leave it to me." Alex nodded. "Are you going to check on that old woman and her dojo?"
"No. Shen Yue should have already informed them about everything. If things go well, they should be joining us around nightfall on their own. They don't need my help."
"Oh." Alex agreed. She knew firsthand the combat abilities of those people, so she too had the same opinion. Those were the last group of people who would need any help.
"Then where are you going? I am only asking because we have no way of communicating with each other."
They had a system screen right now, just like the one in-game, but the two were completely different. This one felt more like a basic version than the one inside the game.
It didn't have many features like inventory slots, friend lists, communication channels, or party functions. It simply displayed their current level, status, and attributes.
Liam also knew this, which was why he was not planning to go too far. "I will be around this area. Closeby. I just need to track what is happening in our neighboring areas."
"Do you need someone with you?" Alex smiled bitterly as soon as the words came out of her mouth. Of course, he did not. He was probably the only Level 50 plus being on the entire planet!
"My minions will be here with you guys. So keep farming." After talking to her, Liam prepared to leave when Alex called for him again. "How long will this beast wave last?" She hesitantly asked.
"The entire night."
Her eyes widened in shock, but she gripped the axe she was holding and nodded with determination.
"Let's go!" She shouted and continued fighting with vigour. Fighting was the thing that she was good at, and they needed to get stronger faster.
Even if this beast wave lasted until the next day, she was prepared to stand and fight them. After all, Mia was waiting for them.
