Healing to Kill

Chapter 53 – The Shock of the Moonlit Dance



```

[You have entered the Scarlet Flame Mountain region, officially starting the server-wide quest.]

[Quest points template activated: Kill monsters to earn corresponding points. The higher the points, the greater the rewards.]

[Current points: 0]

[Public points: 0]

[Hint: In team mode, the killer receives 80% of the points for each monster killed, and the remaining 20% is shared among the team and can be freely distributed.]

At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Chen, Qing Ying, and Tao Xiaoyao all received the system prompt.

"This 20% public points must be to take care of support players."

Jiang Chen immediately saw through its purpose.

Then, he looked at the vast mountain ahead and sent a text message to Moonlit Dance.

[Mortal World: We've arrived at Scarlet Flame Mountain. Where are you?]

Soon, the other party replied.

[Moonlit Dance: I'm at the 'Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons,' dealing with the fourth Gate of Sealing's boss and elite monsters.]

"Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons..."

Jiang Chen murmured, "If I remember correctly, it's at the eastern foot of Scarlet Flame Mountain, and we're at the northern side."

After confirming the direction, Jiang Chen started walking east along the foot of the mountain.

A few minutes later.

In a clearing not far from the mountain, a large crowd of players came into view.

These were the player armies.

In front of them were numerous black "Demon Dogs."

[Demon Dog: LV15 (Bronze Level Elite)]

[Rend: Each attack inflicts a bleeding effect, dealing 10% additional damage over 5 seconds.]

Almost every Demon Dog was surrounded by several players, engaging in intense combat.

Meanwhile, deeper in, there was another battlefield.

Here, too, were many players.

In their midst was a tall, two-headed boss.

[Two-Headed Demon Dog: LV15 (Bronze Level Boss)]

[Rend: Each attack inflicts a bleeding effect, dealing 20% additional damage over 5 seconds.]

[Two-Headed Roar: Every 20% decrease in health triggers a roar, stunning all targets within 5 meters for 3 seconds.]

The boss's health was almost depleted.

It seemed like the cleanup was nearly done.

"Looks like the fourth Gate of Sealing is almost resolved."

Jiang Chen observed the situation from a distance.

Then, he noticed that behind the large crowd of players were several high platforms.

Each platform had a four-legged square cauldron, nine in total!

"Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons..."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself and walked towards the battlefield ahead.

Suddenly!

A system prompt appeared:

[The fifth Gate of Sealing (Bronze Level) is about to open!]

"The fifth gate, huh?"

Jiang Chen had just finished speaking when another system prompt appeared.

[Due to players destroying a large number of residual seals, the opening speed of the Gates of Sealing has accelerated. The sixth Gate of Sealing (Bronze Level) is about to open!]

"Two gates opening at once?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

Then, he received a text message.

[Moonlit Dance: The opening speed of the Gates of Sealing has accelerated again. This time, two gates are opening at once.]

Jiang Chen immediately sent a voice message: "Take me to the sixth Gate of Sealing."

"Can't we just guard here?" Moonlit Dance replied.

"If it were just one Gate of Sealing, we could stay here."

Jiang Chen said via voice message, "But with two gates opening, if the monsters converge here, do you think we can still hold out?"

The area wasn't that large.

"I understand. I see your location. I'll come find you."

Soon after, Moonlit Dance walked over from a distance and joined Jiang Chen and the others.

"If we go to the Gate of Sealing, we might get contaminated by the demonic aura," Moonlit Dance frowned.

"Demonic aura contamination only increases the death penalty. Just don't die, right?"

Jiang Chen didn't mind.

"Alright, I'll lead the way."

With that, Moonlit Dance started heading up Scarlet Flame Mountain.

Jiang Chen followed with Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao.

After passing through a large area of exposed rocky terrain.

Ahead, a long line of monsters approached.

[One-Eyed Demon Wolf: LV15]

"These should be the small monsters from the sixth Gate of Sealing, heading towards the Demon Suppression Cauldron."

Moonlit Dance said cautiously, "Such a neat formation means there are no other players nearby. Should we retreat and wait for other players?"

After all, there were nearly a hundred monsters in that long line.

Moonlit Dance felt that one team of players couldn't handle it.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything. He cast a Healing Spell at the leading One-Eyed Demon Wolf.

-1000!

A white light shone on the One-Eyed Demon Wolf, and a faint lightning attached to it.

Its health instantly dropped by 20%.

"5000 health."

Jiang Chen quickly understood and said, "This line is too long. Qing Ying, go pull the small monsters together."

"Got it!"

Qing Ying nodded excitedly.

Then, she rushed forward.

As Qing Ying approached the monster line, the small monsters were instantly attracted to her.

The formation began to scatter.

Only the one Jiang Chen had attacked continued to walk towards him.

Before it got close.

A white beam of light condensed in front of Jiang Chen.

At the same time, a purple crystal ball appeared, floating around him.

The white Healing Ray's light intensified and connected with the small monster.

-1920! (Double Cast)

Moreover, its body was enveloped in lightning, slowing its movements.

Two seconds later.

The small monster was killed by the Healing Ray!

Jiang Chen opened his quest points template.

[Current points: 8]

[Public points: 2]

"A common monster is worth 10 points."

Jiang Chen glanced at it and then closed the quest points template.

He looked at Qing Ying, who was pulling the monsters, and reminded her, "Don't get tangled with the small monsters. Move around more and don't let yourself get surrounded."

"Got it!"

Qing Ying's pleasant voice responded.

At this moment.

Moonlit Dance was already stunned, her mouth slightly open, wanting to say something but unable to.

Her mind was filled with the numbers floating above the small monster's head.

That four-digit damage.

It was like a thunderbolt, striking her mind directly.

She even wondered if she was hallucinating.

But when the small monster fell.

The fact was right in front of her.

A Priest, two skills, a few seconds, and a monster was down!

It completely shattered her understanding.

At the same time, a shocking thought emerged:

This Priest might be the strongest in this team?

While she was lost in thought.

Jiang Chen had already walked forward.

At this moment, a large group of small monsters had gathered around Qing Ying.

A glowing hexagram magic circle appeared.

An even more shocking scene unfolded.

The entire group of small monsters was covered in electric arcs.

At the same time, a terrifying damage number appeared above their heads:

-2400! (Double Cast)

...

In less than three seconds.

The entire group of small monsters fell to the ground!
