Chapter 15：Amulet of the Redmoon

The eyes of the other three players fell on Fei Yu's face at the same time because she was the weakest link among the four of them. When she saw them looking at her, she became a little stiff and then seemed to make a major decision as she said, "I...I can do it." But after she had finished, her eyes flashed with a trace of fear and bewilderment.

Yu Xue nodded and said earnestly, "We believe in you! No matter when, you must learn to be strong. No one can help you, and you must learn to face it yourself."

The druid was very strict most of the time, and it was rare for him to speak so gently. Xiao Ling could see that he still cared about Fei Yu.

Luan Ying laughed, trying to ease the situation. "You don't have to be so serious. Alright, let's go!" Compared with Yu Xue, Luan Ying was more easygoing, but their concern for Fei Yu was the same.

Xiao Ling reached out a hand with the intention to pat Fei Yu on the shoulder and encourage her, but he pulled it back halfway because he was afraid of frightening this girl, who was as sensitive as a rabbit.

With his back against the cave wall, Yu Xue slowly approached the three poisonous maggots and stopped not far from them. On the other side, Luan Ying had used his Stealth skill to sneak around behind a maggot.

Then, he made a gesture to Xiao Ling, Yu Xue, and Fei Yu.

The battle began!

With his Sap skill, Luan Ying smacked one of the maggots in the back, stunning it in an instant. Then, Yu Xue rushed over with a roar and, together with Luan Ying, quickly attracted the attention of the remaining two maggots.

Heal!

Suddenly, Fei Yu cast a quick heal on Luan Ying, her hands tightly clutched at her priest staff. Just as she was about to give Yu Xue a quick heal as well, Xiao Ling quickly stopped her. "Don't be nervous, their health hasn't dropped too much, so don't waste your mana. Believe in yourself, you can do it!"

His slow, low voice struck deep into Fei Yu's heart, and her hands gradually relaxed.

Holy Renew!

She cast a spell that could slowly recover health over time on Luan Ying and Yu Xue. Seeing that, Xiao Ling nodded approvingly and began to wave his staff.

Corruption!

Searing Pain!

Shadow Bolt!

With two melee players tanking in front, Xiao Ling did not need to worry about anything else except concentrating on attacking.

The damage of each of his attacks was about 100 points, which surprised Luan Ying and Yu Xue. 'The dps of a high-intelligence warlock is so strong!' If truth be told, even some of the fire mages of the same level they met before might not have as high a spell damage as Xiao Ling.

Bam! A critical hit occurred, and a large number of 300 something appeared over the maggot. It was hard to believe that Xiao Ling's critical hit could inflict three times his normal damage.

While squeaking, the poisonous maggot ditched Luan Ying and charged straight at Xiao Ling.

"Not good!" Luan Ying was caught off guard and tried to catch up with the maggot, but it seemed to have targeted only Xiao Ling and pounced on him at high speed.

Xiao Ling was alarmed by the sudden change while Fei Yu's eyes flashed with fear. However, as he often engaged in grinding alone, Xiao Ling was very sensitive and responsive to various situations. So, he only panicked for a brief moment and then recovered his composure.

Splash! The venom ejected by the maggot turned his whole body green, and his health went down to only 39%. He backed away hurriedly, then pushed the maggot away with the Repellent Ring.

Shadow Bolt!

Searing Pain!

Two spells rushed at the maggot.

Heal!

Surprisingly, Fei Yu managed to cast a quick heal on Xiao Ling, which instantly recovered his health to the maximum level. At the same time, he quickly drank the antidote.

Splash! Another stream of venom hit him, taking away 53% of his health. 'What a close call!' thought Xiao Ling. Had it not been for Fei Yu's Heal, he would have fallen to the ground now.

Force Blast!

Bam! The spell instantly deducted more than 200 health points from the maggot. Force Blast was a close-range spell with relatively low spell damage, and no one expected its critical hit to cause more than 200 damage points.

The poisonous maggot fell feebly to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Luan Ying caught up and asked.

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "We are fine, thanks to Fei Yu's timely heal."

Luan Ying glanced doubtfully at Fei Yu; he could hardly believe that she could react in such an emergency. Fei Yu was a little uneasy from the gaze, but the expression on her face was one of happiness. However, perhaps because she was a little embarrassed, Xiao Ling saw that the fair skin behind her ears had turned red.

"Thank you!" said Xiao Ling with a smile.

Fei Yu smiled sweetly as she shook her head and said in a low voice, "You're welcome!" There was gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Ling.

Luan Ying nodded. Then, he turned back to help Yu Xue, as the maggot next to him had already woken up. The three of them stepped up their attack, killing the maggot Yu Xue had trapped before moving onto the last one.

The last maggot did not cause too much trouble and was soon killed by them. When the battle got over, Luan Ying picked up what the three maggots had dropped.

Xiao Ling received 75 silver coins. Luan Ying had also found a glowing red amulet from under the body of one of the maggots. After identifying it with a scroll of identify, he said with surprise, "Oh, this is a Rare item!"

Xiao Ling looked at the amulet: it was a silver amulet with a crescent-shaped red gem that looked crystal clear and extremely delicate.

The Amulet of the Redmoon

Rare Item

Attributes: +3 Intelligence, +2 Agility, +10 Heal Effect

Class: Priest

Required Level: 6

Clearly, it was an item for Fei Yu. Its attributes were pretty good, especially the +10 Heal effect that was very useful for a priest. With all the attributes, it could be considered as a low-level superior-grade item, and she should be able to use it until she reached level 20.

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

Fei Yu thanked him with a red face.

"The market price of this amulet should be around 60 gold coins," said Luan Ying. "According to the agreement, we should give you 20 gold coins."

Luan Ying traded the gold coins with Xiao Ling, who nodded and accepted them. Although they already developed a good friendship, the rules could not be broken. If it were something that he could use, Xiao Ling would also pay them for it.
