"Third brother, third brother—!!"
The remaining two bandits shouted in grief and indignation, but their bodies betrayed their words; they were already running away while shouting.
But You Che was not about to let them go. He threw out two more daggers, accurately taking down two bandits.
The three young men were somewhat stunned, but You Che called out loudly, "Look ahead!"
The three of them snapped out of their daze and quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding a fireball spat out by the giant bird.
"Take care of this guy first!" the young man in charge shouted, raising his staff once more.
However, by this point in the battle, their stamina and mana were almost depleted, not to mention the absence of the bandits responsible for interference, which was very unfavorable for their all-mage lineup.
So for a while, the three of them were chased around by the giant bird.
In the end, it was You Che who made the move. With the green rusted short sword in front and the hound's claws behind, two daggers flew over and accurately pierced the same spot.
In this way, the poison can be applied first, and the blood explosion that follows will not only deal significant damage, but the shattered flesh will also cause the two daggers to fall to the ground.
"boom--"
You Che quickly approached, picked up two daggers, and narrowly avoided the strange bird's sweeping beak, while also making two more cuts on its legs.
The three teenagers beside him were almost too weak to fight anymore and could only watch You Che perform.
In their eyes, You Che was like dancing on a knife's edge, constantly striking during the gaps in the giant bird's attacks, leaving it with bursting wounds time and time again.
In the eyes of the three, You Che's tactics were simply unbelievable. If he made one wrong step, he would be pierced through by the terrifying giant beak of the giant bird!
However, even under such pressure, Yu Che did not make a single mistake. Using two daggers and abnormal effects, he managed to scrape off the remaining 30% of the monster bird's health.
When the strange bird's enormous body crashed down, the three boys were completely dumbfounded.
"Is this... something a human can do?" one of the girls murmured, but neither of her two companions could answer her question.
In other words, You Che didn't hear what they said, otherwise he would have just complained that they were making a fuss over nothing.
This is nothing!
The Great Bird is a relatively common wild magical beast. It usually lives in groups, has low intelligence, and has little to do with dark races.
This thing is actually quite agile, but it only has a few moves. It's just that it looks scary because of its big size. In reality, apart from the bird-tracking car that plows the ground with its head, it is not a threat at all.
Moreover, this one was acting alone, making it extremely easy to deal with; You Che could do it with his eyes closed.
So at this point, Yu Che, who felt like he had just done some aerobic exercise, glanced at the strange bird's corpse and lost interest after confirming that no items had been dropped.
The material on this thing is somewhat valuable, but harvesting it is time-consuming and laborious, and he doesn't have that much time to process it.
Instead, he looked at the three-person team beside him: "Can you still move? If you can, get up, pack up and hurry back. Clearing out bandits is not a child's game."
He was serious when he said that. The game *Dark Fantasy* does have a significant amount of PVP elements in online multiplayer, and the main storyline also includes human enemies and bosses.
Perhaps in pursuit of realism, the development team used the same modules as the players for all these types of enemies, only modifying their attributes and skills.
Human enemies don't naturally have higher health and defense attributes like monsters or dark races, but the wide variety of abilities and tactics they combine make them very difficult to deal with, and the casualty rate in battle is very high.
Or to give another example, among the "foul monsters" that are generally recognized on the forum, humans and humanoid enemies make up at least 60%.
Enemies like bandits are generally not very high level. Judging from the henchmen just now, the leader of this band of bandits should not be higher than LV15, and his attributes are definitely not higher than the strange bird from before, or the three quest monsters in the previous maze.
But Yu Che had no intention of fighting that guy head-on.
The reason is simple: the tactics and skills used by bandit leaders are increasingly despicable. If you accidentally get hit, you'll suffer not only physical damage but also potential psychological harm...
Therefore, in his view, it was somewhat like he was just offering himself up as food for the bandits when three LV8 academy students came to try and clear out the bandit stronghold.
But the three of them looked at each other and seemed unwilling to go back.
You Che raised an eyebrow: "What, do you think you can still fight? With all the magic power you have left?"
"Don't try to be a hero since you haven't even graduated yet. The footage of that giant bird is yours. Pack it up and go back home."
"What do you know! We're not doing this for..."
One of the girls raised her head, ready to retort fiercely, but when she saw You Che's face under his cloak, her voice immediately went quiet.
"...We didn't come here for material or to show off, there's...other reason." As she spoke, she lowered her head again, her voice becoming as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and finally she simply stopped arguing.
You Che: "..."
Sometimes being too handsome can be a problem, I'm sure everyone understands.
The same young man continued, "This... adventurer, to be honest, we came here to find the bandits to retrieve what they stole from us. It concerns the lives of my friend's family."
"So we can't go back, we have to..."
"But there's no use in you staying," You Che interrupted. "Three level 8 mages, their magic power is almost gone, what can they do?"
The boy gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and said, "Um, you're going to hunt down bandits, right? I wonder if you could take us with you..."
You Che replied expressionlessly, "It's the same question again: what use are you guys to me?"
"Let me guess, you three are prospective mages, one is a spellcaster, one is a creator, and the last one... is it a dream or spellcaster? It doesn't matter."
He ignored the three people's astonished expressions and continued:
"The spellcasting class won't really start to shine until you reach LV10 and become a professional. Right now, all you can do is throw your pathetic fireballs. The creation class is too resource-intensive. Judging from the three of you, you're probably all special recruits from ordinary backgrounds. How many magical materials do you have to burn?"
"As for the last one... I'm sorry, you only used general magic light bullets the whole time, so I can't figure out which element you are."
"In short, look at your own stats. Which one has more than 5 remaining magic points? Or, to put it another way, which one has an intelligence level of 15?"
"If there's even one of them, you can come along; otherwise, you'd better go back right now."
You Che didn't hold back with his words. To put it bluntly, if your intelligence is even worse than an archer's, then what can you do as a mage?
The three were dumbfounded once again: "You... how could you know so much about our situation? Have you been spying on us all this time?"
You Che laughed: "Spying on you? You think too highly of yourselves."
"It's very easy to find out these things. Your level, the equipment you're using, what spells you've cast, how many times you've used them, and how much damage you've done to the monster bird—by working backward from these, you can get a pretty good idea of your attributes and playstyle."
"So I'll say it again, you can't help, so don't come along."
The three of them were dumbfounded again.
Based on these inverse attributes... it would be more convincing to say that you secretly saw their stats.
Who could believe something like that?
However, when they thought about what Yuche had done when he dealt with the giant bird, the three of them wavered again.
Perhaps, this man really can do it?
"That's it, you all get back now."
You Che didn't want to waste any more time. He had only offered his help casually at first, and he had no intention of becoming a babysitter for the three little kids.
Unexpectedly, the boy called out to him again: "Please wait a moment!"
You Che looked at him, and then saw the boy take out a pendant from his collar, which was shimmering with a faint light.
[The Fool's Blessing: The wearer can slowly regenerate mana.]
"I have 6 mana points left... Do you think I can follow along?"
You Che: "..."
Damn, I miscalculated.
Aren't you all just ordinary people? Where did you get such rare mana regeneration equipment?
But he had already made his statement, so there was nothing he could do but sigh and say, "If you want to come, you're on your own."
"no problem!"
You Che shook his head, then looked at the remaining two girls: "You don't have any surprises for me, do you? Then go back. Consider this a gift."
He took two Moon Eating Grasses out of the medicine bag and gestured for them to take them.
It's still quite a distance to get back to the nearest town. If these two girls go back empty-handed, they might get devoured by monsters halfway there.
The two of them naturally had nothing to say. They bowed their heads and thanked You Che as they approached him.
However, just as the girl who had previously refuted You Che took the Moon Eater from his hand, she seemed to notice something, suddenly exclaimed, and grabbed You Che's hand!
You Che was startled: "What are you doing?!"
He immediately pulled his hand back.
Hey girl, I know I'm handsome, but you can't just start touching me like that, can you?
The girl quickly realized what had happened and apologized repeatedly.
You Che was a little confused, but he didn't say anything and left with the boy.
The remaining two girls exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat peculiar.
"Did you see that? His hand..."
"Hmm...that's right, that's it."
The two seemed to have reached some kind of agreement: "Let's go! Let's go back and write a letter to our senior!"
