-East Gate
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Xie Feng continued to swing his spear indiscriminately from right to left without caring too much about the technique, after all, low grade monsters had no intelligence to worry about dodging an incoming attack; unless they had a battle skill like the Imperial Triton Soldier from the south gate.
Every time Xie Feng swung his spear, it was as if a huge rock fell hard on a calm lake; the monsters that charged forward like a tide were repelled backwards due to the strong impact and struck the monsters behind, stopping the movement of the rest for a small moment.
Although it was impossible for Xie Feng to cover a battlefield as wide as this, he tried his best to kill as many monsters as possible in the shortest possible time. He always tried to swing his spear so that the arc generated by the attack would hit the body of as many monsters as possible. The number of monsters Xie Feng had killed was so many that his experience bar, which had been empty not long ago because he had leveled up after killing the Red-Eyed Mutated Ape, was almost half full.
Of course, Xie Feng was not the only one causing chaos among the army of enemy monsters.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Magic spears of ruby red color were summoned by Mu Wuying at terrifying speeds. For every three seconds, Mu Wuying could conjure five magic spears in total; Mu Wuying’s casting speed was so high that she could almost conjure two magic spears per second!
The magic spears hit the monsters without missing them even once. Each energy spear claimed the life of a level fifteen monster without fail. Moreover, since Mu Wuying’s level was equal to that of the monsters she was fighting, she had already leveled up and was now a level sixteen player!
The three beasts summoned by One Man Army also moved through the middle of the monster army, causing chaos and commotion before retreating to attack in another area of the map.
Although many players were killed, there were also many other players who leveled up once or twice during the course of the Dragon’s Revenge mission. Like all video games, the competition was fierce; while those who were killed by the monsters lost a random piece of equipment and a level, those who survived the beasts’ assault and worked hard were able to gain experience that would take days to obtain by normal means!
The battle continued for about fifty minutes and the number of monsters was much less, Xie Feng even noticed that the players were starting to enclose the remaining ones in a large circle.
BOOOM!!!
Rumble…
Suddenly, a loud explosion followed by the sound of something collapsing, and the ground shaking echoed across the entire battlefield.
“What was that!?” One Man Army shouted loudly as their movements stalled.
Mu Wuying frowned and suddenly felt a bad premonition.
On the other hand, Xie Feng too stopped the indiscriminate massacre and looked to the west. The source of the explosion definitely happened there.
“Don’t tell me…” Suddenly, an idea crossed Xie Feng’s mind, but he didn’t want to think of such a thing.
Ding!
Xie Feng’s communication tool flashed and he quickly realized that it was Yang Tian. Without a single second’s delay, Xie Feng answered the call.
“Hey! The west gate of the city was destroyed!”
“What!?”
Even before Xie Feng could say a single word, Yang Tian’s frustrated voice came from the other side of the intercom. Although Xie Feng was already expecting it, still he couldn’t help but shout in surprise and worry at the same time.
“It’s okay, even though the door is down, it’s only one monster.” Yang Tian’s words made Xie Feng sigh in relief, however, what he said next made that relief disappear like a puff of smoke. “However, the problem is that none of the players in my guild can identify it…”
Hearing this, Xie Feng’s face vacillated between relief and worry.
Relief because fortunately, Yang Tian had stationed approximately 1.2 million players within the city. But even so, 1.2 million players wasn’t even enough to properly protect one gate, let alone protect four gates and protect the NPCs. Even then, it was better than nothing since, at the very least, these players could buy precious time for reinforcements to arrive on the scene.
As for the reason why Xie Feng was worried…. According to what Yang Tian said, no player could identify the monster that broke the city gate, therefore, considering that the players who were still alive were level eleven or level twelve after gaining so much experience and considering that the basic inspection skill allowed players to obtain information from monsters that did not exceed the player’s level by more than ten levels or was not of too high a rank, the attacking monster was definitely a beast above level twenty.
But, even if the attacking monster was just a normal monster above level twenty, it was enough to kill a few small children or weak NPCs. The problem was that Xie Feng did not believe that the monster that entered the city was a normal monster.
“What the hell happened to that guy with the surname Nangong?” Xie Feng asked in discomfort. He could still see Nangong Lei’s health bar almost completely full; Xie Feng didn’t understand what the hell that guy was doing at a time like this.
“That guy missed the monster.” Yang Tian growled in a tired tone. “When he realized what was going on, he ran to chase after the monster but was held back by waves of snow monsters, forcing him to stop his steps. In the end, the monster had enough time to destroy the city gate.”
Xie Feng realized that he really couldn’t trust the trash after listening to Yang Tian’s explanation.
“Mu Wuying, One Man Army, I have to go.” Xie Feng summoned Ferghana Horse and briefly explained what happened.
“It’s okay, don’t worry.” Mu Wuying nodded with a serious expression and a slight frown after hearing that the west gate had collapsed.
“Go, finish off that monster quickly.” One Man Army shook his fist. It seemed that his confidence in Shiva’s attack power was absolute.
However, Xie Feng could only smile bitterly at One Man Army’s overconfidence. Black Smile was still on cooldown for ten minutes more, so he could not use it immediately and the offensive blessing Mu Wuying had given him had already ended a long time ago.
Unless Xie Feng used his strongest skill, it was impossible to end the approaching battle so easily. But he was not willing to use Consecutive Light Strikes, this skill was being reserved by him for the boss of the final wave; no matter what, Xie Feng could not use it.
Xie Feng wasted no more time and started riding at full speed towards the inner part of the city. He even activated Cloud Path and Fast Movement at the same time, increasing his movement speed to 252 points thanks to the extra 60 points from Ferghana’s Horse.
However, as Xie Feng moved further and further away from the eastern battlefield, an announcement from the system fell on his ears.
[You have been targeted by the Spirit of Love. Blessing of the Spirit of Love received –
Love Speed Blessing: Increases your movement speed and attack speed by 100%. The chances of being hit by an enemy’s attack decrease drastically. Duration: 5 minutes.]
Just as Xie Feng was surprised, his communication tool flashed. It was a message from Mu Wuying.
“Although I can’t use Love Force Blessing for another 5 hours, I can help you with this. Good luck!”
Reading the contents, Xie Feng involuntarily smiled.
Now, with a frightening movement speed of over 500, Xie Feng turned into a lightning flash running at full speed. Time was pressing on his shoulders!
* * *
-Eminentis City, west zone.
Roar!
Bang!
The roar of a beast followed by a loud explosion echoed inside the city walls.
The interior of the western part of Eminentis City had fallen into chaos. Men, women, old people, kids; everyone was running everywhere and screaming or crying as they tried to get away from the danger zone as fast as possible.
“Damn it, get it over there! The guild leader just informed me that Shiva is on his way here!” a short-haired, brave-looking female player with a sword in her right hand shouted to the nearby players. She was the commander in charge of the King’s Land guild army in the western part of the city.
The female player’s words had a small effect as the players began to run towards the beast in order to stop its footsteps even for just one second longer.
Seeing the players, who were like little ants, running towards it and stopping its footsteps, the beast’s eyes flashed with a touch of fury. The beast was five feet tall even when it walked on all fours; its pelage was white with many purple spots and it had two huge fangs protruding from its mouth. However, the most striking feature was the pair of purple wings on its back.
If it were to be compared to a known monster, it would be the legendary saber-toothed tiger, as the appearance of the beast was somewhat similar but much larger and more powerful.
Suddenly, the beast’s purple eyes turned blood red and red lightning began to flash over its body. Seeing this, the faces of the nearby players turned as pale as a sheet while remembering what had happened when this monster used that skill.
