Chapter 189
Blom Advanced, Indestructible! “Roar!!”
Andrew let out a terrifying roar, which slightly slowed the attack of the Soul-Devouring Monsters.
Hilda, Renice, and the other ranged attackers relentlessly unleashed various attacks at a speed that left afterimages.
Cao Xing focused on channeling various spells to deal damage while quickly observing the entire battlefield.
Two minutes later.
Fifteen Soul-Devouring Monsters had already fallen at the entrance.
Right after Cao Xing released a round of Ice Arrow Rain, a sharp pain pierced his brain!
Cao Xing instantly realized his situation, “Is my spiritual power exhausted?”
He didn’t panic but quickly took a drop of [Moon Condensing Flower Dew] from his backpack and swallowed it.
In the next moment, he felt a cool sensation sweep through his brain.
The piercing pain was immediately suppressed.
“Not bad, this stuff really works.”
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and prepared another wave of spell attacks!
Meanwhile, after more than two minutes of defensive combat,
there were still over twenty Soul-Devouring Monsters in the hall.
He glanced at the health of the three melee fighters.
The health had become somewhat precarious, fluctuating between 40% and 60%.
At this rate, their recovery wouldn’t keep up with the depletion of their health.
After all, even though Cao Xing’s subordinates had impressive survival abilities,
it should be known that they were battling creatures over ten levels higher, crossing a significant tier in between.
If it were other same-level Bosses, even Leaders, they would have been unable to withstand by now!
Liu Muxue also noticed the current state of the team.
She took a deep breath, then said earnestly, “Axing, I should go too.”
Before Cao Xing could speak, Liu Muxue continued, “Axing, I think I can do it.”
“I have over three thousand health now, more than two hundred Armor, plus the Holy Shield on me. I should be able to hold the Soul-Devouring Monsters for about 20 seconds.”
“Though it’s not long, it can at least relieve some pressure off others.”
Liu Muxue finished in one breath.
Cao Xing was momentarily stunned, then a look of gratification appeared in his eyes.
After these days of battles, Liu Muxue had grown, learning to analyze both sides’ data and assess the situation.
Cao Xing nodded, “Go ahead, be careful.”
“Alright!” Liu Muxue said excitedly.
Then, she quickly raised her Shield and charged forward.
Cao Xing glanced at Blom, whose health was the lowest, and ordered, “Blom, fall back and recover.”
Blom followed the order without hesitation.
An opening appeared in his area.
The Soul-Devouring Monsters were about to break through.
At this moment, a graceful figure charged forward with a Shield raised.
Boom!
A heavy sound echoed!
That Soul-Devouring Monster was slammed back by Liu Muxue with a [Shield Bash].
Meanwhile, other Soul-Devouring Monsters also launched attacks.
Swipe!
A fierce claw strike slashed through.
But it caused no harm to Liu Muxue, as the Holy Shield on her absorbed it.
Swipe! Swipe!
Two more attacks came, directly shattering the Holy Shield on Liu Muxue.
When the fourth claw strike from a Soul-Devouring Monster was about to descend,
Liu Muxue seized the moment and used the [Shield Counter] skill.
Bang!
[-115]
A slight damage appeared on Liu Muxue.
The Shield Counter succeeded!
The damage from the Soul-Devouring Monster was significantly reduced.
Cao Xing couldn’t help but give Liu Muxue a thumbs up.
“Muxue, well done!”
Her combat awareness was already quite remarkable.
Considering the enemy’s strike speed, the Shield Counter had only a fraction of a second for her to react.
For Liu Muxue to respond in such a short time and successfully block the enemy’s attack was truly impressive.
After getting Cao Xing’s praise, a smile appeared on Liu Muxue’s face.
Meanwhile, she sighed in relief inwardly.
‘Fortunately, I didn’t mess up…’ Liu Muxue thought to herself.
With her joining, the defensive pressure at the entrance significantly eased.
As for Ji Xinyue, she also wanted to help.
But she was just a level 6 warrior, and facing those Soul-Devouring Monsters was out of the question, as a single claw could tear her apart.
Another three minutes passed.
Most Soul-Devouring Monsters at the entrance had been slain.
Only five or six ordinary Soul-Devouring Monsters were left attacking the group.
During these three minutes, Andrew, Hilda, and Liu Muxue each emitted a white glow.
System prompts constantly appeared.
[Your territory member: Andrew has leveled up, current level: 17]
[Your territory member: Hilda has leveled up, current level: 11]
[Your territory subordinate lord: Liu Muxue has leveled up, current level: 11]
…
Delight filled Cao Xing’s heart.
The group of over forty Soul-Devouring Monsters at the entrance had provided them with tens of thousands of experience!
Including his own level, which was about to rise to level 12!
At this moment, Cao Xing glanced at the battle situation inside the hall.
Now, Sarah was battling three third-tier Soul-Devouring Monsters alone, appearing at ease.
She occasionally slashed down with a sword.
[-2531]
[-3374!]
Terrifying damage numbers appeared, causing the health of the three Soul-Devouring Monsters to plummet.
At this point, one Soul-Devouring Monster Stalker’s seventeen thousand health had been reduced below three thousand by Sarah.
Seizing the opportunity, Sarah threw an [Obstructive Dagger].
Thump!
[-3104]
The Soul-Devouring Monster Stalker’s health dropped to zero, dying instantaneously.
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has killed a Soul-Devouring Monster Stalker lv27, third-tier Elite Level creature, gaining Experience Value: 2160]
[Combat personnel gained Experience Value: 1080]
…
Witnessing this scene, Cao Xing sighed in relief.
Thus, the battle on both fronts had stabilized.
