Chapter 465: Mental Attack

"Gu Xiaobei, tell us again what the situation was like before you vomited?"

Lan Qingyou, having stopped, turned to look back at Gu Xiaobei who was being supported.

What was the difference between Gu Xiaobei and them?

She had been pondering this question since just now.

If it was about race, there was also a Wind Elf in the team.

If it was about gender, the team was even predominantly female.

Looking at it from these major analytical points, these external factors were not the cause of the other party's vomiting.

So after ruling out most of the guesses, Lan Qingyou finally thought of a possibility.

Hence the question above.

Gu Xiaobei said weakly.

"No, what I mean is, were there any symptoms?"

"Oh, oh, that. Just felt dizzy and nauseous, and then vomited."

Although they were chatting about these somewhat unappetizing matters, neither of them showed much concealment or embarrassment.

An alchemist who used bugs as medicinal ingredients and a cook who used bugs as food ingredients.

No matter how you looked at it, they didn't seem like people who would shy away from such things.

As for how the people around felt, they didn't care too much.

However, Gu Xiaobei's answer made Lan Qingyou nod uncontrollably.

"Then it seems my guess was right."

"Hmm? What guess?"

Hearing there was a clue, Vivian immediately became spirited.

Although everyone was good friends, supporting someone like this was still a bit tiring.

Even if everyone's stats had increased a lot, if everyone improved, it was equal to no improvement, so it was still tiring.

Especially the posture of supporting someone, it was tiring on top of tiring.

As for why they didn't let subordinates support her, Vivian expressed that this was her own friend, there was no need to have them lend a hand, in the end, it was better to do it personally.

"Right, I was wondering before what the difference between Gu Xiaobei and us was."

"And so?"

"So with Gu Xiaobei's symptoms as corroborating evidence, I'm certain of my guess."

"What is it?"

"Mental attack."

"Ah?"

Vivian was stunned.

"Basically speaking, whether it's our Witch race or you vampires, the stat bonuses in terms of spirit are quite substantial. But elves, especially Forest Elves, don't gain much in terms of stat bonuses. So compared to us, the attack she suffered was the most severe."

Lan Qingyou stated her guess.

"Wait, then what about Li Huai? Why didn't he show these symptoms?"

Gu Xiaobei, who felt she was being treated unfairly, glared at the unbothered Li Huai.

If there's suffering, then everyone should suffer together.

Acting like this makes me look very foolish.

"Look at the things on Li Huai's body, they all add to spirit. There's this fundamental difference between a whale and people like us who rely on grinding."

Relying on the Analytical Demon Eye, Lan Qingyou could naturally easily tell if others had magic items on them, and what stat bonuses those magic items provided.

Although in terms of spending money, Lan Qingyou believed she wouldn't lose to anyone, and she even had quite a few magic items.

But those were all obtained through the hard work of herself and the witches. So sometimes Lan Qingyou truly envied Li Huai's solo lone-wolf status.

"Is there any way to stop this kind of thing?"

Vivian asked.

Although she hadn't thought of these matters, since Lan Qingyou said so, it should be correct.

"There are ways. One is for Gu Xiaobei to go outside and wait, the other is to increase her spirit attribute to the point where she can resist it."

Lan Qingyou nodded.

"The first method definitely won't work, and don't even count on the second method working in a short time, so all that's left is to stack magic items?"

"That's the only way, otherwise who's going to solve our daily meals."

Vivian pouted and said a sentence that everyone deeply agreed with.

Turning back now was completely impossible, so they could only bite the bullet and keep going.

Fortunately, they had found quite a few magic items inside the dungeon this time. With a little effort, they could gather a complete set for Gu Xiaobei.

Although at this stage, these magic items were considered everyone's common property.

But for an artisan like Gu Xiaobei to use them in advance, everyone had nothing to say against it.

Just like Vivian said, after ten months of hard work, although the food they brought couldn't be said to be finished, there wasn't much left either.

After all, at the very beginning, Lan Qingyou and the others never expected to stay in one map for so long.

Nor did they expect a single map to be this difficult to clear.

Of course, the main reason for this was still those monsters that could continuously 'multiply', which wasted a massive amount of time. Otherwise, they would have reached the hill long ago.

These guys were truly disgusting.

Disgusting to the point that even Lan Qingyou throwing rocks from the air couldn't destroy them all at once.

One could imagine how difficult it was during that period of time when they were clearing the middle section of the road.

And now, whether it was wild vegetables or monster meat.

Gu Xiaobei was figuring out how to solve their daily meals.

Such a chef absolutely could not have any mishaps, otherwise the daily food consumption of their group of over a hundred people would be enough to give Lan Qingyou and Vivian a headache.

"How is it?"

"You know, it's much better after putting them on."

After putting on the selected magic items, Gu Xiaobei felt her whole body lighten, and the previous dizzy and nauseous feeling instantly disappeared.

"It seems I was indeed subjected to a mental attack just now."

"Hmm... since that's the case, let's find more magic items that add spirit for everyone to put on. Being able to add a bit more to the spirit attribute is better than looking for them when we run into trouble later."

Taking precautions, Lan Qingyou thought for a bit and decided to increase everyone's spiritual power in advance.

Especially races like Li Huai's and Gu Xiaobei's that gained little spirit were the focus of attention.

In her view, since it was an attack, and an omnipresent mental attack at that.

Then it was really hard to say whether the attack would get stronger the further they went in.

So preparing early was never a bad thing.

"Look, there's light ahead."

Li Huai, who was walking at the very front with Lan Qingyou, said softly.

His words made Lan Qingyou and Vivian simultaneously freeze.

One must know that when they stopped just now, there was no light ahead.

Now that light appeared, no matter how you thought about it, it was a very strange matter, right.

Of course, it was also possible that Li Huai saw wrong, although this possibility wasn't even one in a hundred.

Thus, the two turned their heads to look and indeed found a faint green light flashing intermittently at the corner ahead.

The four leaders looked at each other.

Then Lan Qingyou sat on her magic broom and rushed out.

After all, compared to the others, inside this kind of narrow cave, Lan Qingyou and Li Huai had a greater speed advantage.

And compared to Li Huai's wind element, which caused quite a commotion, Lan Qingyou's magic broom was more suitable.

"Hmm!"

When Lan Qingyou executed a beautiful drift into the corner in the air, she froze in place.
