Chapter 67 - Chapter 67 Entering the Cave Behind Clorinde

Finally, Alex found a good summonable creature to capture: "Oh! It's a Hilichurl Rogue! Clorinde, let's go!"

Truth be told, the location where he found it was a bit remote.

Stopping the car, Alex directly threw out little Chiori to enter combat.

"Clorinde, use a controlled strike!" Alex pointed at the Hilichurl Rogue in front, as if controlling a Pokémon.

"…" Clorinde remained silent, raising her sword and charging towards the Hilichurl Rogue. Clorinde understood the specific meaning: leave it alive.

Clorinde entered combat.

"Bang bang bang~" In the end, Clorinde fired three shots at the Hilichurl Rogue, leaving it on the verge of death.

The Hilichurl Rogue's HP was reduced to a sliver. It lay on the ground, paralyzed by Electro.

"Oh!" Alex couldn't help but look at Clorinde with shining eyes. She was too amazing; she could perfectly control its HP to such a low level without any HP display.

Electro-Charged, Electro-Charged, Electro-Charged.

-188, -188, -188.

This is bad! This monster is going to die from Electro-Charged!

Alex quickly picked up his Combat Skill summon, little Chiori, and threw her back, then quickly activated his skill to capture the Hilichurl Rogue.

Thankfully, this one wasn't for nothing. When its HP bar was finally empty, it successfully became his own summon.

As his own summon, it automatically cleared any abnormal status effects on its body. At the same time, because it was out of combat, the Hilichurl Rogue's HP began to slowly recover.

"Phew~" Alex exhaled and looked at his Hilichurl Rogue.

Hilichurl Rogue: Level 18. HP 500 / 80000.

Hmm? It's only level 18 and already has eighty thousand HP? That's really tanky.

The Hydro Hilichurl Rogue he caught before probably had a similar amount of HP.

Although he finally had a usable Anemo Rogue, Alex still couldn't help but frown slightly.

It truly lives up to its name as Fontaine; out of a hundred elemental monsters you encounter, ninety-nine are Hydro.

Otherwise, it's Hilichurls everywhere.

There was no other way; Whopperflowers were really too hard to find! Otherwise, Alex would have wanted two more Whopperflowers in his hand.

Not far from here, Alex discovered a Hilichurl camp.

Looking inside, Alex actually found an extra monster here that he hadn't seen since arriving: a Hydro Hilichurl Shaman.

Oh, good! A Hydro Hilichurl Shaman is also considered a rare monster species!

Time to catch it!

Afterwards, Alex easily obtained a Hydro Hilichurl Shaman.

As for the last one, Alex took Clorinde towards the sea, his northern destination.

Actually, his team was still missing a front-line tank.

Clorinde is a DPS gun-sword user, he is a Summoner, the Hilichurl Rogue is a roaming Anemo assassin with daggers, and the Hydro Hilichurl Shaman is a back-line area healer.

Ideally, the last one would be a Mitachurl with a man-sized wooden shield.

But for now, there was no choice. He had seen a Hilichurl with a small wooden shield nearby earlier.

By the sea, Alex stopped the car, and the Hilichurl Rogue, who had been sitting on the front tire of Baron Bunny, jumped down.

He was currently holding the Hydro Hilichurl Shaman in one hand and the wooden shield Hilichurl in the other.

Actually, there was another serious problem.

As a Summoner, why didn't he have a place to store pets after capturing them?

This is a bug, isn't it? What do you think?

"I need to place summons!" Alex said to his phone, then tried to put all three into his backpack, but it failed.

[Unlock hidden function: Summoning Space. Requires character level to ascend to 40.]

Actually, having a system felt much more useful than his phone.

If his phone didn't make a sound, it was as if it wasn't there.

However, there should be a Summoning Space, and it requires level forty?

It seems level 40 is a major turning point for him.

He needed to quickly defeat the Hydro Tulpa, get the Cleansing Hydro Shard, and he could ascend to 20 before nightfall.

Alex even felt that the skill books he had accumulated could directly make him level 40/40, preparing for the next ascend!

If he remembered correctly, the level 40 ascend would start requiring specific boss materials.

This is bad; if it's too far, he'll have to drag it out for a while again. Will anyone sell these BOSS drops?

Alex shook his head, but for now, he shouldn't think about that.

Alex blinked, looking at the water ahead, and then at his hard-won perfect lineup of three Hilichurls.

Alex annoyedly patted his head. He was being silly; he forgot he had to go into the water, and wouldn't all three of these monsters easily dissolve in water?

Alex circled the sea surface twice, and a flexible idea immediately came to his mind: he had a teleportation that could take people.

Clorinde watched Alex in his dilemma, looking at the three different types of Hilichurls and the water, and immediately understood: "They really can't go into the water. What are you going to do? Get rid of them?"

Clorinde raised her gun-sword in her left hand and aimed at the Hilichurl Rogue.

Alex clapped his hands, a happy smile appearing on his face: "No need! Let's leave them here for now. You take me quickly to the Hydro Tulpa's location. If I'm not mistaken, isn't there a Teleport Waypoint near the Hydro Tulpa BOSS?"

This way, the problem of summon movement would be solved! He truly was a little genius.

Clorinde thought for a moment. She didn't pay much attention to Teleport Waypoints, after all, no one could use them.

After thinking, a clear image appeared in Clorinde's mind, and in that image, there was a red, unactivated Teleport Waypoint. Then, she nodded to Alex: "Yes!"

"Splash~" "Splash~" The two played in the water, swimming downstream.

Clorinde led the way in front, and Alex watched Clorinde's constantly moving black-stockinged legs from behind. The black and white high heels occasionally blocked his view. Oh, he also saw glimpses of black leather pants... Ahem, no!! Alex swam behind Clorinde with clear eyes.

Time seemed to pass quickly. Alex hadn't even had enough of looking with his clear eyes when Clorinde stopped swimming, stood upright, and hovered in the water, waving her arms and legs at the cave entrance. Her eyes indicated that it was inside.

Alex nodded, accelerated, and charged into Clorinde's cave. No, it was into the cave behind her.

Clorinde followed closely behind!

"Puff~" Alex was swimming forward when, the next moment, the surrounding water suddenly disappeared, and he entered a space isolated from the seawater.

Alex was unprepared for a moment, flailing his limbs in panic as he fell downwards.

Fortunately, the next moment, a hand grabbed Alex's left arm, allowing him to regain his balance and stand on the ground.

It was Clorinde!

Clorinde nodded to Alex, then withdrew her hand, and "tap tap tap~" she led the way, her high heels clicking.
