Chapter 18: Dark Dragon Xiao Hei
"Come out, my friend!" As Ma Yingjie called out, a hexagram flashed from his forehead, and then gradually expanded, covering the sky near Ma Yingjie.
"Bah!"
With a crisp sound, a small thing fell out of the hexagram.
Looking at this so-called demon beast, Ma Yingjie had the urge to bang his head against the wall. The little guy was only the size of a palm, his body was as black as charcoal, and he kept spitting out black liquid from his mouth.
Is this a fucking dragon? It's not even as good as the lowest-level gray wolf. Lu Hao, who rarely judges people by appearance, couldn't help but be mundane when he saw the scary appearance of the Nether Dragon.
Although the Guaiguailong Cave is not very attractive in appearance, its properties are indeed quite good.

A dragon is a dragon. Even if it is just a newly born dragon, it is so powerful. Lu Hao was happy but also a little depressed. If he could have such powerful damage and life, it would be great to be a knight and serve as a sparring partner. He would definitely be the greatest meat shield in history.
"You look so dark, I'll call you Xiao Hei from now on." With just one sentence, Ma Yingjie decided on Minglong's name. He didn't care at all about the little Minglong who opened his mouth in protest. What was the use of protesting? Could he even sue CCTV?
"Can you beat him?" Ma Yingjie pointed at a reinforced skeleton cruising not far away and asked Xiao Hei. He wanted to know what Xiao Hei's ability was.
Xiao Hei rolled his eyes and fired a Raging Demonic Flame at the reinforced skeleton. The skeleton was immediately surrounded by black flames and suffered -400 damage (the damage from the Raging Demonic Flame minus the monster's attribute defense). It only lasted for two seconds before the reinforced skeleton let out a miserable howl and turned into a pile of bone powder.
"Strong!"
This was the first thought that came to Ma Yingjie's mind. It seemed that he could level up much faster. Obviously, this place was no longer suitable for him to level up.
Leaving this powerful output machine unused is a waste of natural resources. After two days of long-term leveling, Lu Hao is very familiar with the environment of this abandoned mine. There is a cave at the innermost part of the mine. As for what is inside, Lu has not dared to see it. His strength is only enough to deal with these enhanced skeletons outside, but since Xiao Hei is so strong, there must be no problem going down.
After clearing out the blind enhanced skeletons on the road, Ma Yingjie brought Xiao Hei to a dark cave entrance. The cave entrance was on a steep cliff. There was not a single blade of grass on the dark cave, like a giant beast lying down. The huge cave entrance was open like the mouth of the beast, as if it was choosing someone to eat.
After climbing up the small hill below, there was no road above, so Ma Yingjie had to put away Xiao Hei.
It would be great if Xiao Hei grew up and could fly up directly. But now he can only rely on his own hands and feet.
Trying his best to exert his physical strength, Ma Yingjie began to climb the mountain wall. After great efforts, he finally stood in the mouth of the giant beast.
System prompt: You have discovered an abandoned mine. Experience increased by 1000, and reputation increased by 50.
Hey, this is strange. In the past, when I went to a place, I only got a hint about where I had found it. Why is there an experience and reputation reward this time? Lu Hao didn't know that only the first person who discovered the map would get a reward, and the people who came after him would not get any more rewards. Someone had been to the abandoned mine before Lu Hao, but no one had found this abandoned mine, so it was a bargain for Lu Hao.
This mountain pass is more than 3 meters wide and meters high. It is dark inside and nothing can be seen. Ma Yingjie dare not rush in. He summoned Xiao Hei and began to chant the spell of the dark sky.
"God of darkness, please grant me the power... to make this empty space..."
As Ma Yingjie chanted in a low and slow voice, a black mist gradually gathered. When the last byte came out of his throat, Ma Yingjie waved the Madru staff in his hand, and thick black smoke appeared at the entrance of the cave.
He stepped on the cold and hard ground and slowly moved into the cave, holding the Madru staff tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time. Xiao Hei also followed Ma Hao obediently, spewing dark magic flames from his mouth.
"Rustle!" When Ma Yingjie was about to walk out of the dark sky, a strange sound was heard in the passage next to him. It reminded people of the scenes in horror movies and made people feel creepy.
"Whoosh" a black creature jumped out from the passage, with a pair of soul-stirring eyes flashing with strange light.
Ma Yingjie quickly chanted the spell of Weakness: "Dead spirits of the underworld, weaken your opponent's strength - Weakness."
With a wave of his hand, a black light enveloped the unknown creature, and Xiao Hei's demonic flames spurted out at this moment. The demonic flames were quite powerful, but they missed. Fortunately, the next few hits were successful, but the damage each time was only more than 100.
"Ouch!" The monster covered in black screamed in anger after suffering a loss.
Lu Hao felt like his ears were almost deafened by the damn echo. Then Lu Hao received a reminder from the system that his health was damaged. It turned out that this was the monster's attack method, just like the roar of the lion.
"Death god from another world, weaken the enemy's mobility - Slow." Lu Hao used the Slow skill which he rarely used. The reason for not using this skill was that he felt it was unnecessary. Anyway, whether it was the abandoned skeletons or the enhanced skeletons he encountered before, they all had the biggest characteristic of undead creatures - slow movement speed. Therefore, after weakening their strength, Lu Hao was too lazy to waste MP. You know, a bottle of MP potion is very expensive, so he would save it if he could. Lu Hao is not rich.
However, the creature in front of him was obviously not one of them. Judging from its agility just now, it must be a cat. If it is not weakened, it must be because Ma Yingjie's brain was hit.
Lu Hao kept emitting instantaneous death light, but each time he could only take away a few dozen lives from the monsters. After throwing for a long time, it was still not as good as Xiao Hei's magic flame. While constantly emitting death light, he casually threw a visit.

No wonder my death light can only take out so little blood each time, it turns out to be a monster with high magic defense.
Xiao Hei, don't use magic, use physical attacks." Ma Hao shouted.
"Aho!" Xiao Hei rolled his eyes at Lu Hao, pounced forward, and slapped the fallen Gruul Lynx with his small claws - 637 damage floated up, and the Gruul Lynx, whose life had been drained a lot, was instantly reduced to bloody skin.
At this time, the effects of Weakness and Slowness disappeared, and the dark sky also dissipated. Gruul the Mountain Cat glanced at Xiao Hei, then glanced at Lu Hao, turned around unwillingly and ran into the cave.
"You want to run? Don't you even look at what my profession is?" Lu Hao quickly cast a Slow spell, and Gruul's mountain cat's movements were slowed down again. Xiao Hei then stepped forward and blasted a huge flame, killing it instantly.
After groping in the dark for a while, I encountered a few troublesome Gruul mountain cats. After killing them, they only gave me a few copper coins reluctantly.
Lu Hao summoned a skeleton warrior from the corpse of the fallen Gruul Lynx and let it lead the way, and continued to move forward.
After walking around for a long time, Lu Hao was secretly surprised. This cave was very large, almost the size of a small town, with criss-crossing passages. Skeletons were abandoned in the cold and damp corridors, most of which were from monsters, but there were also a small number of human skeletons.
"Ding!"
System prompt: Your pet Nether Dragon has been upgraded to level 10 and has acquired the innate skill Strong.
After Xiao Hei scattered a fallen Gruul Lynx with one grab, a pleasant reminder sound rang in Ma Hao's ears.
After taking a look at Xiao Hei who had grown a lot, Ma Yingjie summoned Xiao Hei's interface.

Sure enough, there was a new strong skill under the skill column, and it seemed that the attribute was pretty good. Haha, when this skill is fully proficient, Xiao Hei will be invincible, Ma Yingjie thought.
Turning a mountain road, a faint white light came from underground. Could it be that this cave has another exit? With this thought in mind, Ma Yingjie followed the direction of the light. The terrain was getting lower and lower, and Ma Yingjie felt that he should be underground.
The light was getting stronger and stronger, and suddenly he heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the front. Lu Hao walked towards that direction for a while and came to an underground river. The light came from the rugged rocks on the edge of the cliff, and it could penetrate so far through the reflection of the river water.
Walking to the edge of the cliff, Ma Yingjie couldn't help but take a deep breath, revealing a surprised expression. What appeared in front of him was actually a large underground canyon.
