Do You Still Need a Dog, Miss Vivian?

"Miss Vivian! They're coming! Are you… Holy f*ck! Don't bite my butt… are you ready?!" Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat sprinted away while shouting into the distance.

The two players were covered in dirt as they jumped up and down. They looked miserable, as though they had just returned from begging for food.

Behind them was a large group of ape-shaped monsters that were chasing them relentlessly, especially the ape monster in the lead. Its eyes were red with rage and one of its claws was waving wildly in the air. The other was strangely pressed behind its buttocks as if it had been ruthlessly stabbed by two bastards.

High-level players were indeed high-level players.

Even their method of luring monsters and aggroing them was so unique. The leader of the monsters was definitely not going to stop until he tore these two bastards apart with his underlings.

However, would they have dared to take on the task if they didn't have the skills to complete it?

It could be seen that these two closed beta testers had good skills. Every time the monsters were about to close in, they suddenly sped up and dodged the ape monsters' claws like slippery eels.

On the opposite side, in a clearing in the forest not far away.

Liao Zixuan stretched out his limbs comfortably and laid in the little girl's arms. He praised them while watching the images transmitted by magic.

Oh, something must be clarified here. Liao Zixuan was a Dark Flame Wolf, not a sloth.

The reason why he was hanging onto the little girl and couldn't even be bothered to walk was all because Vivian liked to hug him whenever she had the chance. It definitely wasn't because he was addicted to being in the girl's arms. That's right, it was all because the little girl spoiled him too much!

Back to the main topic.

"Vivian, concentrate your magic power first. Don't rush to release it. Wait for the monsters to get closer." Liao Zixuan used telepathy to teach the girl how to use magic.

"Miss Vivian! Quickly use magic to destroy them! Quick! We can't hold on much longer!!" The two players who were luring the monsters were getting closer and closer. When they saw the little girl, it was as if they had seen their mother.

"Ignore them, listen to me." Liao Zixuan kept using his wolf claws to block the girl's worried gaze from the players who were being chased by a large group of monsters.

"O-Okay, Black. I'll try!"

Averting her gaze, Vivian's face tensed up. She continued to hug the little wolf with one hand while slowly raising her other hand. Surging magic power began to gather rapidly.

"This time, try not to release all your magic power at once. Can you disperse your magic power into multiple missiles and attack different enemies?"

"Alright, I… I'll try!"

"Help! Help! Miss Vivian, they're really going to catch up… Holy f*ck! You stupid monkey, stop grabbing my ass!" The Mage God of Close Combat and Big Watermelon were on the verge of tears.

They saw that Vivian was already poised to release her magic but had not done so yet. This made them extremely anxious.

Didn't the mission say that we were supposed to lure monsters to you?

Make your move!!

"Fire!"

"Quickly fire!"

Seeing that the enraged and deranged ape monster was about to pounce over again, Big Watermelon shouted at the little girl with a heart-wrenching cry.

However, just as he finished speaking, the two players' vision was overwhelmed by a swath of blue.

In the next second…

The biggest ape monster that was arrogant and aggressive just now… his flesh and blood flew everywhere, revealing a huge hole in the wake of Vivian's Magic Missile.

Holy sh*t!

How cruel!

Seeing that Vivian had finally made a move, Big Watermelon finally heaved a sigh of relief. He sat on the ground with a plop, panting heavily.

As for the Mage God of Close Combat, who had previously shouted for help several times and was nearly caught in the ass, his expression changed and he instantly shouted arrogantly at the remaining ape monsters who were stunned because their leader was killed in an instant.

"Come here! Come here again if you have the guts! You chased us so fiercely just now when we only jabbed your boss's butt. Look, look! Now that you've offended a great Witch, you know fear, right?"

Indeed.

The monsters were not fools. They felt the weakness of the two players, but from the girl standing behind the players, they felt a huge threat.

And as for… as for the little wolf pup in the human girl's arms… they felt…

From their soul, from their bloodstream…

A deep and profound fear!

Run!

Quickly escape!

The strong signal from their instincts scared them into retreating. They wanted to leave this place quickly.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The azure blue color that symbolized magic power blossomed from Vivian's hand again. This time, it wasn't just a missile, but a burst of energy that was like a machine gun. It became a true magic missile that could attack multiple targets.

[You have killed "Forest Violent Ape" and received 43 EXP]

[You have killed "Forest Violent Ape" and received 49 EXP]

[You have…]

A series of notifications sounded. It was indeed different with the help of players. Look at the efficiency.

The heartless Liao Zixuan immediately started counting the money. On the other hand, Vivian, who had a big heart, quickly ran to the two players with an apologetic expression.

"It's been… it's been hard on the two of you!" The little girl looked at the sorry state of the two of them. She was so overcome by gratitude that she bowed deeply to them.

Vivian really didn't expect these two foreigners to work so hard for her!

She also felt very sorry that the players were hunted down by a large crowd of monsters when they were just trying to find the way to go. It was too unfortunate.

Yes, the girl who was kept in the dark thought that the two foreigners were only responsible for keeping watch. Little did she know that they were the ones who provoked the monsters into hunting them down. Or rather, they were under the "implicit orders" of the "Witch".

Looking at her silly little girl, the little black wolf in her arms curled its lips in disdain as it counted the money.

Nonsense!

Would they have worked so hard if it wasn't for the Grade S mission?

"Miss Vivian, you're being too polite! Since we've accepted your request, we naturally have to do our best!"

"Don't mention finding the way. As long as you say the word, Miss Vivian, I can be your bait and cover your retreat. I'll swear to serve you!"

Listening to his teammate, the Mage God of Close Combat's solemn vow that verged on expressing the sentiment of, "Miss Vivian, I want to be your dog", Big Watermelon was rendered speechless.

His friend had nothing but thick skin!

He would never do something as shameless as him!

Then…

The wonderful "ding" from the system sounded again.
