“Dong dong dong–”
Right when the pioneer cavalries and ghouls were pushing forwards, a shocking war drum sounded out deep within the forest that stunned all the players.
“Again?”
Haotian pulled his sword out from the chest of cavalry and then looked into the distance, “We are about to fall to the cavalries and the ghouls and now they want to send new troops? This Valen is so shameless, he only knows how to abuse numbers.”
“Isn’t that the same, players use that tactic too.”
Cal used Weapon Protection while using Return Slash and she smiled, “Without that strategy, we would have been crushed by the cavalries.”
Lin Xi rode her white horse and stood in front of the crowd, “Don’t be careless, reorganise ourselves and find a good position. The left is a little messy. Those Sika Deer Cavalries all return, quickly!”
“Yes Boss!”
Lin Xi’s power was top in With You and it was even higher than mine. After all, she created the guild and she was also one of the top female players on the server. Her reputation was top too so over 50% of the guys in the guild came because of her name. Which was why she was number 1 in terms of command.
……
As the war drums sounded, the forest was totally silent. Only cavalries and ghouls spawned from the forest. It was as if the drums were for nothing. Since I entered the game, I have never seen such a situation so the drums were definitely for a reason.
With Shifang Flame Spiral Eye, I saw many huge beings underground.
“They are here, underground!”
My eyes sunk and I said, “Be careful, a new enemy is here!”
I used Dark Shadow Jump to leave Beichen’s camp and then I set up three traps. With Shifang Flame Spiral Eye, I saw a being get close. The ground started to shake and then the surface cracked and a monster drilled his way out!
“Shua!”
Its pair of jaw blades slashed at me from both sides like it was about to slice me into two. But it was slightly slower and I managed to retreat. The cold jaw blades brushed past my nose and missed. A giant Miss word appeared in the sky.
“Be careful, Lu Li!”
Lin Xi said on the party channel.
“En, I am fine.”
I retreated while looking at this monster. It looked really weird and its body was covered in a black shell. Its head was like that of a crab and it had three pairs of jaw blades like they were used to attack and dig. Its body was like that of a mantis and was covered in spikes. Its body was covered in dirt, like it was a harvester that came from underground!
In the next second, I read its stats and shared it with the guild–
Earthdigger (Legacy Grade Quasi Boss)
Level: 120
Attack: 22500-29500
Defence: 18000
Health: 50000000
Skill: Jaw Blade Slash, Spiral Attack, Earthfire Armor, Dirt Storm
Introduction: Earthdigger, a beast that came from hell. They have strong digging ability and are born with control of the earth element. They can come and go from underground without a trace. Apart from that, they have three pairs of indestructible jaw blades that can slice through human armor and shields. They are violent and cruel and once Valen orders them, they will turn into the vanguard of the pioneer army
……
“Such strong stats…:”
Gu Ruyi said softly, “They are much stronger than the Starfire Lions!”
“Of course!”
I frowned, “Even their skills are much stronger. Get ready!”
When I said that, 50 meters away another red figure charged out and turned into the second Earthdigger that attacked our camp.
“Lu Li you take one I take one.”
Lin Xi charged forwards with her sword and said, “The other parties follow me and kill this Gravedigger. We can’t let them destroy our formation!”
“En!”
I retreated back in front of With You and used Hunter’s Edge+ Flames of Karma on one of them. Its body shook from the hits and the instance that my skills were used, it charged forwards and the words Jaw Blade Slash appeared!
It was here!
Its speed wasn’t like its size and it was really quick. I wasn’t able to dodge and could only place my daggers in front of my chest to tank it. In the end, the jaw blade were not only sharp but heavy. They hit my body and I instantly lost 90 thousand health. Fortunately, I wasn’t in danger with Soul Star Explosion.
“Attack!”
Cal shouted and held her sword to charge forwards with the Sika Deer. She used Deer Rush and she also dealt some damage to the Boss at the same time. She used Double Hit+ Frost Slash+ Return Slash on the wing of the Earthdigger. Haotian used Assault and stunned it.
Behind us, With You’s ranged players also started to fire. A whole patch of skills started to land on the Earthdigger’s body and its health started to shake.
“Kong–”
The Earthdigger’s shouts pierced the ear and the moment it raised the front of its body, the hair below it started to shake. In the next moment, dirt started to surge and it formed a dirt storm that swept the players. Cal and Haotian’s health started to drop and in a blink of an eye, it was down to 30%.
“So strong!”
Haotian retreated and his eyes were filled with shock.
I pounced forwards and used Gouge on the boss. I then used Demon Tribulation+Midnight Ecstacy. Demon Tribulation worked and this Earthdigger was confused for 1.5 seconds. It also broke its dirt storm channel. In the next second, the Earthdigger used Earthfire Armor. Flames surged from the ground and formed a dark red armor around it. Instantly our ranged players weren’t able to break through.
“Break its armor!”
Shen Mingxuan raised her bow and used Armor Breaking Arrow to deal 54.2% armor penetration. I waved my daggers to attack and the Heartstealer’s effect stacked to increase the armor break to 80%. During that period, I was hit by a Spiral Strike and my health dropped to 40%.
“Heal Ah Li!”
Shen Mingxuan shot while commanding the ranged players.
I frowned. This Earthdigger’s stats were so high and even I was under pressure. If I didn’t transform it felt like I couldn’t deal much damage?
This thing’s stats were probably not much weaker than a Legacy Grade Boss.
Not far away, Lin Xi was in White Star state and her body was covered in a silver white starlight. She rode her horse and spun around the Earthdigger to trap it outside of our formation. With the other members healing and damaging, it was a matter of time before it died.
It was obvious that With You had controlled the two Earthdiggers in front of us.

……
Not far away from us, three Earthdiggers were in front of Winds of Battle. Fengxian was barely holding down one and the other two had charged into the crowd. As there were too many players around, they triggered the Earthdigger’s berserk state. Its body was covered in flames and its stats increased by 30%.
“Kong!”
The two Earthdiggers started to use their Jaw Blade Slash to kill a line of people. Damage numbers rose up and in a blink of an eye over ten heavy armored players died. Along with the dirt storm surging, their ranged players started to die too. Worse was that many Pioneer Cavalries and Pioneer Ghouls started to charge in to destroy their formation.
“Don’t retreat.”
Fengxian shouted, “No one is to retreat, hold on. Even if you die just stand there. Backline push up, firepower and healing follow up. Kill these two Earthdiggers. Stop those that charged in and don’t let them cause havoc!”
“Yes Boss!”
Winds of Battle was talented so they shouldn’t get defeated by three Earthdiggers. No need to worry.
But our left was a mess. Two Earthdiggers spawned near Dragonrider Hall’s formation and they charged about. Male Bear blocked for 20 seconds and his healthbar emptied out and he was nearly killed. He retreated with Weapon Protection and an ashen white face, “What is going on with the healing, you don’t know how to stack heals? If you play like this who even dares to face the boss!?”
In the end, Male Bear didn’t dare to tank and the other players retreated. The two Earthdiggers started to sweep the frontline. Cold jaw blades flung heavy armored players into the air. When Dirt Storm was used, it was as if we were in hell. Players turned into white light from being insta killed.
This wave would be hard for Dragonrider Hall!
