I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 862 457: Where Is the Healing Effect of Your Healing Spell?

That might as well be left to be used as cannon fodder.

"Don't worry, my healing spell is super powerful." Gu Shanhai said, casually casting the healing spell with a flick.

Under the incredulous gaze of Base Station Old Liu, the spell breezed past him and landed on the half-demon that had just charged over from afar.

"Oh crap, how did it land on an enemy?" Base Station Old Liu didn't know how to vent his frustration; who had ever seen a healing spell restore a monster's health?

The half-demon, after receiving treatment from Gu Shanhai, swiftly expanded, growing from the size of a mustang to that of an elephant.

"Does your healing spell have a buff effect too~"

Boom~

The next instant, Base Station Old Liu was launched into the air by the half-demon mustang, its massive body rolling several times before finally halting.

The climbing Base Station Old Liu suspected that Gu Shanhai might be an undercover agent sent by the enemy.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw the elephant-sized mustang inflate into a bizarre spherical mass, with a mass of bones and organs being extruded out and terrifying blood-flesh tendrils extending from it, topped with a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth.

The maw seemed to be the mouth.

The tendrils wrapped around any living organism they encountered, pulling them forcefully into the mouth, followed by terrifying chewing sounds that sent shivers down Base Station Old Liu's spine.

"Holy crap, is this a healing spell!!!" Lan Qiushui was almost caught by the tendril around his waist; had he not used his skill decisively to break free, he would already be dinner.

If he was to die like that, it would be too disgraceful, so he hurriedly retreated, a little shaken.

"There's a range of attack; as long as you don't enter it, you're fine." Base Station Old Liu quickly analyzed the situation using his intelligence module.

"Are you sure this thing is a healing spell?" Lan Qiushui, having successfully escaped, immediately asked Gu Shanhai.

Gu Shanhai nodded: "Yes, you see, it was injured by Old Liu earlier, and now it's been healed by my spell."

"Well, that's true, but wait a minute, could this healing spell be an attacking skill instead?" Lan Qiushui reacted and felt slightly horrified.

"Think about what you're saying; healing spells are naturally for healing." Gu Shanhai's expression was peculiar.

At this moment, the enormous fleshball creature seemed to be satiated, sprouting a vivid blood-flesh flower on its head, resembling a rafflesia.

"It's entering the second phase; can you control this thing?" Base Station Old Liu retreated several steps again; after it bloomed, its range of predation and power naturally increased, with each half-demon being effortlessly pulled into the flower, devoured without resistance.

"Should be okay." Gu Shanhai hesitated for a moment and replied.

"Should?" Lan Qiushui felt a bit weary; how could this thing be 'should'? Wouldn't they have to fight another boss soon?

"Don't worry, this is the enemy's necessary route, and the current game mode has already turned into tower defense mode. Even if the Demon Race comes in, they have to defeat this flower first."

"If the boss can defeat it, it's still able to consume him; if the boss can't, then our task is completed, so why worry." Gu Shanhai stated that they were here to complete the task, not messing around.

Therefore, there's really no need to worry about these.

"By the way, does your flower only consume living things or also dead things?" Base Station Old Liu leaned over and inquired, after the birth of the flesh-blood flower, half-demons were no longer a threat.

"Consume it does; after running out of food, it even takes root to absorb nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and can even perform photosynthesis, its survival ability is incredibly strong." Gu Shanhai said with great enthusiasm.

"How big can it grow at its maximum size?" Seeing Gu Shanhai's expression, Base Station Old Liu's heart skipped a beat, an abrupt sense of unease arising.

"Maximum... According to my estimate, it should be able to cover all of Zhen Shi Village in half an hour, and by then it could even go toe-to-toe with the Black Stone Demon." Gu Shanhai assured that there's absolutely no problem.

Upon hearing this, Base Station Old Liu's mood instantly exploded.

The creature born from Gu Shanhai's healing spell is akin to his nuclear bomb, devoid of any ally-enemy distinction, meaning both enemies and allies would be consumed without exception.

"Wait, have you considered what we're supposed to do, this thing is so strong, how do we fight it?" Base Station Old Liu felt a bit weary for a moment, saying Gu Shanhai was indeed powerful, exceptionally strong in survival, combat, and other aspects, especially apt for someone like Gu Shanhai who played support and life roles.

But the problem is, this thing is uncontrollable, even more terrifying than the boss.

"I've considered that as well, and with the aura amplification I'm carrying, even if we're consumed, it can't digest us." Gu Shanhai said earnestly.

"So if we're eaten, it's more like entering a safe sanctuary?" Lan Qiushui leaned over as well.

"That's right, that's the idea." Gu Shanhai noted that this kid had excellent comprehension skills.

"Then how do we fight the boss? Let this flower handle it?" Base Station Old Liu initiated the cooling module to force himself to calm down, otherwise, there were just too many points to ridicule.

"That's an option; what do you guys think?" Gu Shanhai asked rhetorically.

Base Station Old Liu indicated what was there to see, he couldn't fathom it, this flower was simply too outrageous.

"Are you also dabbling in the summoning system?" Instead of addressing what he saw, Base Station Old Liu questioned further, suspecting this flower had harnessed Gu Shanhai's attribute bonuses.

"Dabbling a little, but not much." Gu Shanhai did not refute, considering Heart Demon Dao Soldiers and Fate Spirits count as summons, albeit infrequently used.

Upon hearing this, Base Station Old Liu's expression eased somewhat but still remained vigilant.

"On another note, do you two need a bit of healing spell? One cast to refresh, two casts for invigoration, three casts for immortality." Gu Shanhai said while a glow of healing spell shimmered in his hand.

"No no no, I don't want to go back yet." Lan Qiushui immediately held down Gu Shanhai, indicating this wasn't suitable for them.

"Exactly, use caution with that healing spell." Base Station Old Liu swiftly intervened, realizing Gu Shanhai's healing spell came with too many extra effects, rendering the actual healing ability almost negligible, and if struck by it, who knew if it'd lead to mutations.

"No problem, its efficacy is there, considering you are customers, there's gotta be some perks." Gu Shanhai felt he shouldn't be stingy and that they ought to experience the refreshing effects.

It was at this moment that Base Station Old Liu seemed to understand where the difficulty lay within this intermediate-level area.

It wasn't about the supposed boss, but about Gu Shanhai himself.

This wasn't as simple as being deadweight; it was directly switching sides to the enemy's camp, and more critically, the other side was kindly assisting them. If not stopped, it'd really lead to a group wipeout.

"Let's talk things over, let's not act." Base Station Old Liu hurried to help Lan Qiushui in holding down Gu Shanhai's hand that was preparing to cast the healing spell.

"Your reactions are really too much; fine, if you don't want to, forget it." Gu Shanhai didn't insist either, he meant it when he said those healing spell effects were genuine.

He was very honest when speaking, if they truly took his three-shot healing spell, they'd gain two permanent status upgrades and one inherent gift.

Unfortunately, they missed out.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Next time, don't use such scary healing spells; just sit back and watch the show, sir." Lan Qiushui quickly said, urging that as long as Gu Shanhai didn't cause any trouble, anything could be negotiated.

Clearly, they could let time slowly wear down these elite monsters, but now, all those elite monsters were nearly dead, while Gu Shanhai directly created a boss-level summon even scarier than the elite monster, and they couldn't control it.

This made them feel like such failures, unable to even surpass someone else's summon.
