Chapter 109: Chapter 106 Deirdre Becomes an Apprentice
Chapter 109 -106 Deirdre Becomes an Apprentice
For Da Fei, who had transformed into Spiderman, the Demon Camp might as well be an uninhabited land. Just like that old spider who also could use advanced Stealth, it was a case of an eye for an eye.
Da Fei once again arrived at the corpse-strewn ravine, where Deirdre had been waiting for a long time. No need for words, he found a spot to assemble the Crossbow Cannon. There was no space to set up the cannon on the bone-covered mountain as it was too uneven, and it also grossed out Da Fei; he found a flat ground just within range of the red dot.
The downside of Extreme Shooting is the reduced damage, but the advantage is the longer range, which provides enough time to reload for a second shot. Although the Ghost Vengeful Spirit is a Flying Soldier, nicknamed “Piaopiao,” it is as slow as some infantry. Together with the “Shake,” the level 2 Flying Soldier Stone-statue Ghost from the Mage Academy, they are known as the Piaoyao Combination, the game’s only two flying units that are slower than some foot soldiers.
So even if the first round doesn’t kill the enemy, there is still plenty of time for Da Fei to reload. By that time, the enemy would have just entered full range, ready for a critical hit.
The assembly of the Crossbow Cannon begins. The annoying thing about War Machine Science is that a whole day in game time is only 2.4 hours, but it takes half an hour just fiddling with the Crossbow Cannon.
Ten minutes later, the assembly of the Crossbow Cannon is complete.
Bro can’t wait any longer! Oh, wait! The ghost’s special skill has a 50% chance to dodge attacks, with the third attack guaranteed to hit after two consecutive dodges. What if Bro’s luck is terrible and both shots from the double-shot Crossbow Cannon are dodged? That would be disgusting. And this ghost is definitely a BOSS, who knows if it can cast spells? If it isn’t severely damaged, who knows what kind of counterattack it will unleash?
Nothing more to say, when levelling up to level 27, I saved up 1 Skill Point, and learned Triple Crossbow.
–Triple Crossbow: After mastering precise Arrow Skill, the hero gets enlightened, pushing the Crossbow Cannon to its limits to fire three arrows at once. The price is the Crossbow Cannon’s Durability will continuously decrease.
Learning prerequisites: Master War Machine Science, Master Level Archery, Crossbow Master.
Bro’s current force composition consists of the Crossbow Cannon and ranged troops, there’s no reason not to learn this sub-skill derived from Arrow Skill and War Machine Science. As for the reduction in Durability, utterly ignore it. The Phantom Crossbow Cannon isn’t mine to keep anyway, I wouldn’t be heartbroken if it breaks.
–System Prompt: You spent 1 Skill Point and learned the combined sub-skill “Triple Crossbow”!
Master-level Crossbow Cannon stats are 30 Attack, 6-7 Basic Damage. At level 27, Bro has a total of 26 upgrade attribute points plus 5 attribute points from Junior Navigator, giving a total of 31 points, with Total Damage = Basic Damage × Total attribute points = 186-217. With a 150% bonus from 30 Attack, it comes to 465-542 damage, and with 30 Magic Power Enchantment, the damage from Master-level Ice Pillar Magic is 468 points. Bro’s cannon deals a damage of a thousand! Even with physical damage reduced by half at maximum range, 800 damage is still there.
In short, even if Bro is incredibly unlucky and two shots miss due to dodges, the third shot can still blast 800 of its health! It’s equivalent to the damage of a one-shot kill of a 900-health crocodile on Pirate Island! Since a ghost has no form or body, how high could its Blood Defense be? Higher than a crocodile?
Now everyone is in position and ready, aim!
–System Prompt: Your Phantom Crossbow Cannon has locked onto an unknown target from another plane, do you wish to attack?
Attack!
The base of the Phantom Crossbow Cannon burst into a dazzling magical light, boom pop pop pop! Three shots go off in succession, the Crossbow Arrows turn into three flashes of white light that disappear into thin air as soon as they leave the barrel, and then boom boom boom! The space around the target violently warps, and ice shards explode everywhere—Miss! -612! -598!
A horrifying scream echoed through the ravine, deafening, and -40 damage popped above Da Fei’s head! At the same time, a large cloud of white mist appeared in the middle of the bone mountain! Damn it! Soul Scream! Such a large formation! In that instant, Da Fei’s minimap was lit up with red!
Although not the worst-case scenario since only one shot was dodged, the Resentful Spirit’s Blood Defense was beyond imagination! Plus, even at that distance, it was able to hit with a spell for 40 health, what would happen if it got closer?
“Take cover! Don’t fire!!!” Da Fei shouted at Deirdre while hurriedly reloading, with a herd of grass-mud horses galloping through his mind! How cruel is the world outside this barrier? Is this map not really a place for someone of Bro’s level?
But Bro has always been unlucky in life, always preparing for the worst while hoping for the best! Moreover, it’s not bad luck yet. Come on, Bro doesn’t believe he won’t flip you over with the second shot!
The white fog blanketing the valley flashed with lightning, illuminating the entire Underground World, and Da Fei’s eyes narrowed in shock!
Damn it! Lightning Strike!!!
And at that moment, a piercing scream erupted from the Demon Camp, like a gust of wind sweeping through, and the white fog in the valley suddenly shuddered. The screen filled with “-3” “-4” “-2” damage numbers dazzling Da Fei’s in-app purchase-gilded helmet dog eyes! At the same time, a -50 damage number popped over Da Fei’s head! Amidst the indiscriminate screen-wide assault, the lightning in the rising white fog disappeared without a trace!
What was that? Regardless, it bought precious time for Da Fei to reload! Da Fei was ecstatic, his hands never stopped, and he finished loading the Crossbow Cannon! Without thinking about anything else, Da Fei kicked the trigger fiercely!
–Boom pop pop pop!!! The Triple Crossbow Cannon shots whistled through the air! During the third shot, a rainbow light soared! The Misfortune Hourglass finally paid its respects to Dad! -634! -Miss! -1156!
–System Prompt: Congratulations! You have slain a Tree Elf Vengeful Spirit, and gained Experience +360,000! You have obtained a B-class strategic treasure Tree Elf Bow, and received the quest item “Tree Elf Heart”.
–System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to 28! You have gained +1 free attribute point…
–System Prompt: Deirdre has completed the quest “[Slay the Culprit in the Ravine!]”
–System Prompt: After the fierce battle, your Charming Emperor’s Army has grown!
Deirdre jumped out from her hiding place excitedly cheering: “Master! We’ve won!”
Da Fei burst out laughing! This Demon Camp really lived up to its high-security state, what timely and satisfying help! Thanks, haha! This map truly is no place for a brother to mingle in, I almost took a fall.
——System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A large number of troops are approaching you! Please be on alert.
Da Fei was so shocked his jaw dropped to the ground! Holy shit! Could it be the sudden appearance of a BOSS has alarmed the Demon Army? What am I thanking them for? I can hide, but what about the Phantom Crossbow Cannon?
Deirdre exclaimed in shock, “Master, quick, hide!”
At this point, there was only one way out. Da Fei hurriedly said to Deirdre, “Just say that the crossbow cannon is yours!”
After finishing his sentence, he activated Stealth and Spiderman took off into the sky.
Soon after, dust billowed, and a large group of Hell Horses and Hellhounds appeared, along with several Hell Barons. One of the Hell Barons stood out and galloped over to Deirdre, asking sternly, “Who are you? I don’t remember seeing someone like you in the camp?”
Fuck, another level 8 hero soldier! Could this give us away? Da Fei, huddled under the ground, was sweating bullets in tension.
Deirdre hurriedly said, “I’m a student of Master Siriel, I’ve been sent here on the orders of my mentor to clear out hazards in the rubbish heap!”
A flash of red light shone from the Hell Baron’s helmet, “I think you’re the hazard!” He exclaimed and prepared to bring down his Flame Cutting Horse Saber with a swing!

Run!!! Da Fei was almost screaming in terror. Deirdre was ready to roll on the spot when suddenly—Boom! A blast of flames exploded in front of the Hell Baron, pushing him and his horse back several steps, and a Mage engulfed in flames appeared in the midst.
As if meeting a savior, Deirdre shamelessly rolled behind him, clasping his thighs and cried out, “Mentor! Save me!”
Da Fei felt his heart drop from his throat to the ground and shatter. My dear heart, that scared the hell out of me!
Siriel snorted coldly. Although he was not pleased to be forcefully addressed as a mentor by this shameless student, under the current circumstances, he could not deny it either, lest he be mocked by other Demons as cowardly and not willing to protect his own.
“Lord Alistair, just after I took office today, I discovered the issues in the bone pile. You’ve been here for so long and haven’t noticed a thing, which shows that the recent problems are all related to your incompetence!”
Alistair snorted coldly as well, “Everyone knows, that here lies a Guardian of the World Tree that I have exterminated. As long as it’s left alone, there will be no trouble. I advise you not to overstep your authority and meddle in things you shouldn’t. Your job is to teach!” With a whoosh, he led his troops away in a cloud of dust.
Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Now he just had to get past this guy.
At that moment, Deirdre sweetly smiled, “Thank you for saving me, mentor!”
Siriel grunted and went straight to the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, saying in a surprised tone, “What is this?”
Da Fei tensed up once more!
Deirdre, with great admiration and exaggerated tone, accompanied by gesticulating hands and feet, said, “This is a peerless invention by a great genius Mage from the surface world, which I managed to steal with great effort. Mentor, you will surely be awed and overwhelmed by it!”
Da Fei almost pissed himself! Hey hey hey, my dear heart, you can’t screw me over, that’s my precious treasure!
“Pfft! Boring!” Siriel indeed snorted with contempt, turning away without giving the crossbow cannon another glance. Da Fei was stunned again. So this guy’s got an attitude, huh? The more you praise it, the less he cares? This temperament, I like it, wahaha!
“Speak, Banshee, what is your intention?”
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat. Did he give us away?
Deirdre immediately knelt down, “I want to become your student!”
Siriel burst into flames all over, “I can’t teach someone too foolish, it would only damage my reputation! However, after what just happened, whether or not you’re my student, you are now. Fortunately, you killed that Resentful Spirit without shaming me, so I’ll reluctantly take you in!”
Pshaw! A professor reluctantly taking in a beautiful student my ass, I’m this close to beating you up!
Deirdre was overjoyed, “Thank you, mentor!”
Siriel snorted, “Come see me in the tower, you’ll have to start from the basics!” With a boom, he disappeared from view.
Oh yeah! Done deal! But why does my heart feel so sour?
(Before the holiday, I was busy revising for two days, and the pressure is quite heavy on me a part-time author with a scheduled release on the first of October coming up.
