Chapter 369: Chapter 333: Dice Lady, Save Me!_2

This time, there were no spare iron hooks in the cabin for them to use.

"What should we do? Let’s go all out, focus our firepower and take down the one in the middle first."

Player 3 decisively declared.

In this situation, trying to escape by trickery was basically impossible; they opted for a head-on attack instead.

"Okay."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"The battle round begins, agility contest to determine the order of action for both sides."

The Dice Lady tossed the secret dice once again.

"Please let us have some luck this time."

Liu Zheng howled in desperation.

"As if I can control it."

The Dice Lady rolled her eyes at him, even though he couldn’t see it.

Fortunately, this time her dice luck wasn’t used in any strange way.

"Agility contest completed, players will act first, battle sequence and action sequence are consistent."

The Dice Lady announced.

"Phew, that’s a relief."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the order of action, it was his turn to attack first.

So the question was, what should he attack these tough-looking tentacles with?

Liu Zheng’s eyes rolled, casting a meaningful glance at Mike Arthur.

"No, what are you going to do?!"

Mike screamed.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m just going to use you as a makeshift bronze man. You’ll get a few bumps on the head, but it won’t kill you."

He reassured.

"No, I’m really fragile, I can’t be used as a weapon."

Mike shook his head repeatedly.

"Then there’s no choice, we have to be flexible in desperate times."

Liu Zheng grabbed his right leg, ready to swing him around.

"Knife, I have a knife in my clothes!"

Mike cried out in terror.

"You should have said so earlier."

Liu Zheng dropped Mike and reached into his clothes.

"Roll an athletics check to determine if it delays the battle sequence."

The Dice Lady said.

Soon, the dice results were in.

and 9.

"Athletics check successful, battle sequence will not be delayed."

Liu Zheng withdrew his hand, now holding an unsheathed dagger.

The hilt was carved from ivory, and the blade was covered with intricate patterns, evidently of great value.

Clutching the dagger, he lunged at the tentacle specified by Player 3 and stabbed forcefully.

"Tentacle three failed the evasion check, Player 2’s attack is effective. Taking into account Player 2’s strength attribute, Brute Force level, and weapon properties, the damage dealt ranges from 4 to 10."

"Player, please roll for damage."

Liu Zheng threw a ten-sided dice with one hand, which came to rest after hitting a tentacle.

For some reason, he found the scene before him absurd, even more so than playing role-playing games in real life.

points.

"Player 2 inflicted 9 points of damage, tentacle three’s health was 15 points, leaving it with 6 points after damage calculation."

Liu Zheng plunged the dagger into the tentacle, then followed through with a downward slashing motion.

Bright red blood sprayed out, revealing pink flesh wrapped in grey-white carapace.

"Ungh!"

A horrifying scream came from outside the cabin, causing everyone’s faces to pale.

"Damn, 15 health points, that’s higher than two of me."

Liu Zheng remarked in astonishment.

This cut that could have killed him on the spot was not even enough to bring the tentacle into a near-death state.

"Roll a counter-attack check to decide if Player 2 will be subjected to a counter-attack from the third tentacle."

"Counter-attack check failed. Next up is Player 3."

The Dice Lady stated.

Player 3 said nothing, pulled out a small potion bottle from his embrace, and poured the contents onto his small knife.

The potion had been prepared in advance, so no check for poisoning skill was needed.

After applying the poison, he didn’t charge at the third tentacle but instead took a throwing stance.

Even the Scum Sect had the precise skill; there was no reason for a legitimate Thief like him not to have it.

"Rolling for evasion check, tentacle three fails to evade."

"Taking various factors into account, Player 3’s attack deals 1 to 4 points of damage. Tentacle three will suffer from ’poisoning’ status, losing 1 point of health each battle round."

The Dice Lady explained.

"Damage so low?"

Liu Zheng exclaimed in surprise.

Although his damage was definitely higher than Player No. 3’s, it wasn’t by that much, and he estimated that it was mostly thanks to the dagger in his hand.

"Please player, make a damage roll."

Player No. 3 promptly rolled the dice.

"Player No. 2 has inflicted 1 point of damage, the third tentacle has 6 health points left, and after damage calculation, 5 health points remain," the mermaid announced the result.

"No, how can you say we’re the ones with bad luck?"

Liu Zheng had a face full of question marks.

Rolling 1 point of damage out of a possible 1-4 points in a combat round was, in some ways, even unluckier than a complete failure.

"I told you to show some respect to the Dice Lady, you wouldn’t listen, now you’ve reaped your reward, right?" Player No. 4 also took the opportunity to speak.

"I’ve been lucky so many times, it’s about time I had some bad luck. Besides, 1 point of damage is still damage, as long as the counter attack roll goes through, it’s still a gain," Player No. 3 stubbornly said.

As he spoke, the small knife slid across the tentacle, adding an inch-long wound to it.

"Make a counter-attack roll to decide if Player No. 3 will be counter-attacked by the third tentacle."

"Counter-attack successful, Player No. 3 needs to make a dodge roll to decide if he can avoid the third tentacle’s counter-attack."

"Dodge roll failed..."

After a series of announcements, the mermaid stopped.

Clearly, she didn’t know what to do next.

With Player No. 3’s current health, as soon as the Damage Dice was thrown, he was undoubtedly doomed.

And once Player No. 3 died, the team’s wipeout wasn’t far off.

"Make a luck roll to decide whether Player No. 3 inevitably receives fatal damage."

A moment later, finally, the mermaid spoke.

Two ten-sided dice appeared in Player No. 3’s hands, but this time the host didn’t tell him the required numbers.

"Great Dice Lady, please forgive your follower’s ignorance and arrogance, bless this roll to be successful."

Facing a life or death situation, Player No. 3 finally gave up his persistence and embraced mysticism.

The dice were thrown, then quickly came to a halt.

and 1.

"Luck roll successful, counter-attack damage changed to 0 to 2," the mermaid said.

"Phew~"

All the players let out a breath of relief.

A one-third chance of death was always better than one hundred percent, which was probably the mermaid easing the rules within her limits.

Immediately, the final damage number was revealed.

point.

"Player No. 3 takes 1 point of damage, health remaining at 1 point, entering a dying state," the mermaid stated.

The blood-drenched tentacle whipped like a lash, swooshing through the air towards Player No. 3.

Player No. 3 jumped back, dodging the tentacle’s sweep with difficulty, but he was still knocked down by the aftershock.

The back of his head hit the floor, his eyes rolled back, and he couldn’t get up again.

"Why’s it always the back of the head today?"

Liu Zheng was speechless too.

"Next, Player No. 1’s turn," the mermaid continued.

Player No. 1 was completely out of weapons, so he simply ran over, grasped both ends of the tentacle’s wound, and pressed it against his knee.

"Make a strength contest to determine if the third tentacle can break free."

"Strength contest successful, the third tentacle fails to break free."

"Hah!"

Player No. 1 shouted, then exerted force with his knees and arms, ripping the third tentacle apart from the middle of the wound.

Taking into account various factors, Player No. 1 has inflicted damage of 1 to 6 points. The third tentacle will receive a ’bleed’ status, losing 1 health point each combat round.

"Roll a 5! Roll a 5!"

Everyone except the dying Player No. 3 started making noise.

"No problem, watch this."

Player No. 1 confidently stated and threw the Damage Dice.

points.

"Holy cow!"

"Awesome!"

Liu Zheng and Player No. 4 exclaimed sincerely.

"The third tentacle suffers a fatal injury and drops out of the combat round," the mermaid said.

The third tentacle trembled violently like it had been electrocuted and then retreated, letting the outside light shine in through the cavity.

"Make a challenging counter-attack roll to decide whether Player No. 3 will be counter-attacked by the other tentacles."

Before they could celebrate too long, the mermaid’s voice rang out again.
