Qin Chengyao was also stunned for the first time inside the dungeon because of this sudden change.
"April, run back right now and check on those two dragons!" Qin Chengyao reacted and shouted.
"Okay!"
Ji Siyue agreed. She cast a continuous healing buff on the other four people, then sprinted all the way back to the location of the original little fire dragon.
Sure enough, the two little dragons had merged. The little fire dragon was emitting red light all over, and the little blue dragon was attacking the red one. Its HP was also gradually decreasing.
Ji Siyue tentatively cast a healing spell on the little fire dragon, but its HP still dropped.
Just then, a voice came from the other end of the earphone.
"Have you arrived there? Our HP has increased."
"Now it seems so. We left too much HP for it when we left. So the HP it has left now is all for the Snow Woman! We were too suspicious back then!"
"Hehe, I knew the game's production team guessed our thoughts. They knew we were too suspicious to trust this little fire dragon!" Zhu Zhiyao cursed and then quickly dodged the Snow Woman's attack.
Their HP was now very low. Without Ji Siyue, they had no attack bonus or healing, and they couldn't hold on for long.
Ji Siyue asked anxiously, "So what should we do now? Should I continue to run back to heal you?"
After thinking for a while, Qin Chengyao finally gave an order, "You should have two offensive skills. Now cast both an offensive skill and a healing skill on that little fire dragon at the same time. Just cast one set."
"Okay!"
Ji Siyue obediently cast the two skills. Zhu Zhiyao swore again, "Damn it, this dragon is really strange! Both your healing and attack have been added to us!"
"I know what to do!"
Ji Siyue wanted to take a gamble. She directly took off her earphone and cast all her healing skills on the little fire dragon and all her offensive skills on the ice dragon.
After casting for more than ten minutes, the two dragons died at the same time.
Meanwhile, an announcement was played on the big screen.
[System Notification: Congratulations to the Hall of Fame players and the players from the Fortune Cookie Dessert Shop for achieving the first kill of the limited-time and difficult dungeon Ice Cold Pond!]
With this announcement, a diary-like item gradually appeared in front of them. As the diary slowly flipped open, everyone finally saw the story of this dungeon.
It turned out that the Snow Woman was just an ordinary human girl. She was invaded by the Ice Soul and turned into a demon, occupying the dragon's cave.
The dragon could transform into a human. After falling in love with this human girl, they both wanted to save each other.
The girl sealed herself to avoid hurting the dragon. She stood in the middle of the dungeon, hoping that the players who entered the dungeon would kill her as soon as possible so that the cave could be returned to the dragon.
The dragon then returned to its original form. It stood at the end of the dungeon, sealed itself, and pretended to be the final boss.
Since they sealed themselves almost at the same time, they didn't know what the other had done.
After the dragon died, the Snow Woman felt something, so she flew into a rage and came to attack.
So neither of them was actually the final boss.
After the five people met up, they picked up the equipment dropped by the dungeon and then left the dungeon.
There were already many people gathered outside the dungeon. When they saw the five people coming out, they all started posting on the public chat.
[World] Little Miss: Sure enough, the people from the Fortune Cookie Dessert Shop are more awesome!
[World] Time Passing By: We've tried so many times but couldn't get through, yet they managed it on their first try. This game really depends on talent.
[World] Lemon: Isn't Ji Siyue on good terms with the official? She must have obtained the dungeon strategy through improper means. Otherwise, how could so many top players fail while she, a mediocre player, succeed?
Ji Siyue just remained silent as she read these messages on the public chat. She was still thinking about the story she had seen in the dungeon just now.
She was already an adult, so why was she still feeling sad because of a virtual dungeon story?
"Pikachu——!"
Ji Siyue's phone rang. She saw that the caller was Qin Chengyao.
She sniffed, stood up, and walked into the bathroom. "Senior."
"Did you take off your earphone just now? I asked you something but you didn't reply."
"Yeah, I took a gamble just now. I didn't expect it to work."
"We got the first kill of the dungeon. It's a happy thing. Why do you sound so down?"
"I'm still thinking about the story in the dungeon just now! I'm a bit sad..." Ji Siyue said aggrievedly.
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly let out a soft laugh.
"Hehe..."
The sound was extremely gentle, like a breeze blowing past Ji Siyue's ear, making it a bit itchy.
Ji Siyue blushed and asked, "Senior, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm just laughing because you're still the same as before."
"Huh?"
The topic seemed to have changed a bit abruptly. She felt a bit lost.
"Don't you remember? Back then, I told you the plot of a novel, and you were sadder than the protagonist in the novel."
As Ji Siyue listened to his words, her face felt as if a bomb had exploded on it. It was hot and swollen.
Who didn't have a non-mainstream period when they were young? When Ji Siyue was young, she liked to imagine herself as the heroine of a novel. She was very immersed in it. Every time she read a tragic novel, she would feel sad for the protagonist for a long time.
But now, when she thought about it carefully, Ji Siyue remembered a detail.
After other people found out about this, they would spare no effort to laugh at her and say she was crazy.
But only the person on the other end of the phone had always been very gentle with her. Although he never felt sad with her, he always left the gentlest words for her.
Ji Siyue felt warm in her heart.
"Senior, thank you so much."
"I should thank you for today's matter." Qin Chengyao replied.
Ji Siyue opened her mouth but finally didn't say anything.
The two "thank yous" just now were said from completely different perspectives.
Ji Siyue was referring to the past, while Qin Chengyao was talking about today.
But in any case, it was time for all things to have a better start.
So, Ji Siyue mustered up her courage.
"Senior, can we go out and play together on Sunday? I seem to have a lot of things to say to you."
She thought that given their current relationship, he would agree.
But she never expected that the person on the other end of the phone would reject her without hesitation.
"No."
