Absolute Death Game

That's right, everything has a yin and yang, and the Five Elements can overcome each other. Plus, as those martial arts films always say, where there's poison, an antidote is sure to be nearby.

This ordinary pond water must really be the monster's nemesis. According to the Five Elements, that means water and ice.

"Haha, I've got it." Having figured out the key point, Xiao Buli couldn't help but laugh.

"What is it?" Yi Xuan quickly asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Lava Giant Python probably can't resist the cold. If I use Ice Element Spells to attack, I believe it will be highly effective. The only problem is that this creature is undoubtedly elite, and if it were in the mortal realm, it would easily be a gold-name BOSS. Its health points must be terrifyingly high, so we'll need something to withstand its blows." Xiao Buli explained rapidly, his mind whirling with thoughts, then suddenly turned to Yi Xuan and said, "By the way, can you play the role of a tank?"

Yi Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly typed a string of exclamation marks, "Give me a break, I don't have that capability. I'd be killed instantly out there."

"So, what can you do?" It was impolite to probe into someone's abilities like this, but the circumstances didn't allow for politeness.

Yi Xuan, clearly making considerations for the situation, responded immediately, "I'm of a mixed class; I can do a bit of everything." His confidence seemed somewhat lacking as he said this.

No explanation needed, Xiao Buli understood all too well. 'A bit of everything?' The meaning behind those words was being a jack of all trades but master of none. Hadn't he been like that himself at one point? And now here he was, paired with someone cut from the same cloth.

Seemingly sensing Xiao Buli's change in thought, Yi Xuan hurriedly clarified: "Actually, my studies have been somewhat scattered. My specialty is actually in support-type Spells. Before, when I was leveling up with a group, because I was the only Mage Profession, I always played the healer, and the Spells I learned were mainly geared towards support and healing."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Buli nodded, finding this explanation far more convincing than 'a bit of everything.' So he specialized in support and healing for Mage Professions, which explained why he knew high-level Spells like Rune Armor.

With Yi Xuan's specialty in mind, Xiao Buli immediately changed tactics and asked, "So, your healing ability is pretty good then?"

Yi Xuan eagerly nodded, as if to prove his strength, and typed, "My Regeneration Skills can heal for more than 100 health points at a time."

Although Yi Xuan hadn't received any tangible benefits since they teamed up, and had constantly been at a disadvantage compared to Xiao Buli, Yi Xuan found himself appreciating the fact that Xiao Buli had come to his rescue in this time of danger. Despite the grim situation, at least he wasn't battling alone now, and this engendered in Yi Xuan not only an inexplicable reliance on Xiao Buli but also a desire to prove his usefulness.

Xiao Buli nodded again, seemingly unimpressed by the healing capability, and thus Yi Xuan felt a twinge of disappointment, not having managed to impress Xiao Buli.

Xiao Buli then pressed on, "What exactly is the effect of your Rune Armor?" Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing Xiao Buli's interest in Rune Armor, Yi Xuan immediately explained, "Rune Armor can produce eight defensive Runes with a durability of 100 points each. The eight Runes can form a perfect Defense Matrix. Each Rune can absorb damage, but if a Rune is destroyed, the defense will have a gap, so it's not entirely safe."

After reflecting for a moment, Xiao Buli understood the specific use of the Spell. It had greater durability, but unlike the Ethereal Armor, it couldn't provide all-around protection. However, considering how well his Ethereal Armor held up against the Lava Red Python's attack, Yi Xuan's Rune Armor should be sufficient for the job.

After sitting and resting to regain his strength for a while, Xiao Buli checked his status, confirming he was at peak condition, and then said to Yi Xuan, "Here's the plan, I'll take on that giant snake, and you'll be in charge of supplying me with a Protective Shield and healing."

Yi Xuan was clearly reluctant, "Aren't you a Mage Profession too? Can you withstand its attacks? How about we both use Invisibility Technique and flee instead?" Obviously, Yi Xuan didn't know Xiao Buli very well.

Xiao Buli didn't bother to explain and just shook his head, "It's not that easy. It's blocked the exit. If we take another route, who knows how long it will take to get out. We only have a day's time, and we can't afford to waste it. Besides, we don't know how it senses its prey. What if it uses thermal imaging? Then we'd be walking right into death."

Seeing Yi Xuan standing there, hesitant, and knowing he might be worried about his safety, Xiao Buli added, "Don't worry. Although I am of the Mage Professions, the average tank is nothing to me." Without waiting for Yi Xuan's response, he dashed toward the cave entrance, and Yi Xuan immediately followed, ready to provide assistance at any time.

Xiao Buli's boast wasn't just empty talk. His physique was an impressive 30 points, equating to a base of 300 health points. With his equipment included, his health soared to 500 points, and that wasn't all. His Spiritual Energy Shield had been upgraded to LV3 with a durability of 300 points through frequent use, amounting to Xiao Buli being able to absorb 800 points of damage. With Yi Xuan's Rune Armor added, the damage he could absorb could comfortably surpass a thousand.
