Nika felt a little awkward upon hearing this, realizing that Luo Xiu had seen her actions.
Looking at the box of juicy red raspberries, her eyes showed a hint of interest, but she hesitated to speak.
Luo Xiu laughed:
"You answered many of my questions along the way, so consider this a thank you gift."
Hearing Luo Xiu say that, Nika reached out and took the raspberry, saying:
"Thank you."
"No need. I heard that no other plants can grow in Red Mushroom Town, so fruits must be quite scarce."
Luo Xiu spoke up.
Luo Xiu's words struck a chord with Nika. She picked up a handful of raspberries, popped them into her mouth, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
"Yes, this godforsaken place is always a gray and gloomy place. The caravans know this too, so the fruit they bring over is always ridiculously expensive."
"To be honest, I can't stay here for even a second longer."
Nika opened her chat box and proceeded to criticize Red Mushroom Town thoroughly.
Have you considered going anywhere else?
Luo Xiu spoke up.
"I've thought about it."
Nika wiped the raspberry juice from the corner of her mouth:
"It's because we don't have money for travel expenses, otherwise we wouldn't be here to be guides. Before this outbreak, the mushroom farmers were earning more."
"but……"
Nika laughed heartily:
"If I really become a mushroom farmer, I probably won't want to leave."
Luo Xiu's eyes flickered slightly.
Yes, sometimes we feel that a place is bad not because it is really bad, but because it is poor.
And it is precisely because of poverty that they often do not even have the means to leave the place they hate.
Luo Xiu's hair swayed.
The wind picked up, a very strong wind.
But it wasn't exactly a fitting night breeze.
Luo Xiu raised his head and looked at several black dots in the distance that were gradually getting bigger.
This is the gale caused by the flapping of the wings of those strange-looking creatures.
Those were several creatures that looked like bats.
The reason it is described as "similar" is because the bodies of those bats are very similar to those of ordinary bats.
But those wings were unusually large and heavy, and strangely obscure.
It's like attaching a pair of vampire wings from a movie to the body of a bat.
Moreover, one of the three bats had two pairs of such enormous wings.
The two pairs of wings flapped vigorously, stirring up gusts of wind.
"Second-tier Demon Bat!"
Nika stood up in disbelief, her face pale.
"How is that possible? There aren't that many demonic bats trapped in the Illusionary Mushroom Forest. How could we have run into three, and even one of them was a Tier 2 one?"
She immediately squatted down, plucked a mushroom from behind her knee, quickly finished singing a nursery rhyme, released the mushroom, and shouted at Luo Xiu:
"I'm about to start running, so stay close!"
"If we're lucky, we might survive."
That's what she said, but Nika had no idea what to expect.
She knew that the demon bats used unique methods to find people, so even with the illusionary effects of the [Farm of Illusions], if the demon bats locked onto them, it would still be difficult for them to escape.
But at this critical moment, she couldn't say those words, fearing that Luo Xiu and the others would lose their composure and fight those demonic bats to the death.
That would really be the end!
But what she feared still happened. Luo Xiu stood there motionless, even looking eager to try.
"Are you crazy?! Run!"
Nika shouted at Luo Xiu.
But Luo Xiu only said:
“It’s okay, Nika, don’t worry, we’ll handle it.”
Nika was heartbroken.
Oh no, it's that hero-playing plot again.
She wanted to run away. In the past, when she encountered this situation, she would always follow the mushroom and leave on her own, taking advantage of the moment when those people were fighting desperately, she could always escape.
But today she felt she couldn't run anymore.
Luo Xiu saved her life, gave her food, and even gave her a box of raspberries.
"Oh shit."
Nika uttered a swear word that was completely out of character for the dress she was wearing.
Seeing the demonic bats hurtling towards her, she reached into her magic pocket, pulled out two green potions, and threw them at the bats.
As the potions fell into the air, she stretched out her hand and pointed at them.
Alchemist Tier 1 Skill: [Potion Enhancement]
The two bottles of medicine exploded with a bang.
Green smoke filled the air.
The two first-tier demonic bats with a pair of wings rushed into the green smoke, their speed visibly slowing down.
The second-tier demon bat, however, was not greatly disturbed and swooped down.
"What are your professions? Are there any defensive professions?"
Nika shouted.
She hoped that there would be a paladin-like class among the Luo Xiu, who could withstand these demonic bats for a while.
She also has a bottle of medicine.
It was left to her by "him".
But it will take a little time; it's a second-tier potion.
Luo Xiu raised his hand:
"There are no defensive classes, but I should be able to stop it."
Strength-based professions?
Nika's eyes lit up, as if she had been given a new lease on life:
"Stop it, just for a few seconds! Please!"
"Ok."
Luo Xiu nodded and spoke to Milair and Tassanya:
"You two, don't move."
Once they both move, that's it; after all, only Leila can add points.
Upon hearing this, Nika felt a wave of dizziness.
Why try to be a hero at a time like this?
Ignoring her complaints, she took out a bottle of red potion, preparing to infuse it with magic.
She was actually extremely reluctant to part with it.
Because this was the only thing her beloved left her.
But she really couldn't care less about all that anymore!
Just as she gritted her teeth, preparing to infuse her magic into it.
A warm liquid sprayed onto her face.
It had a strong, fishy smell.
She reached up and touched her cheek, which was dark red.
She looked up blankly.
Luo Xiu's broad back stretched out under the glow of the mushroom, and in each hand he held half of the second-tier demon bat's body.

Watching Luo Xiu effortlessly put the demon bat's corpse into his magic pouch.
Nika was completely stunned.
The shock she felt at that moment could fill an entire wall if written down.
This man just tore the second-tier demon bat apart with his bare hands?!
What rank is this man in front of me?
Third order? Or...?
Nika shook her head vigorously, trying to banish the terrifying thought from her mind.
It can't be a fourth order.
