Chapter 1250 - 1217: Silver Beetle
In an isolated valley, a sudden dense white light kept flashing.
As the light faded, it was Shuai Diao Zha and others.
The group immediately became alert upon appearing here.
Shiyu immediately said:
"Everyone be careful."
Although it’s less than half an hour until the opening of [Paradise Island].
But some rough so-called strategies have already begun circulating online.
Shiyu and others checked the relevant content before entering and knew this place was not safe.
Subsequently, everyone began to carefully observe their surroundings.
This is a valley full of desolation, and all the trees in sight have long since withered.
Although it’s daytime now.
But when everyone appeared here, they still felt a hint of chill.
Just at this moment.
Zhang Xinying began supplementing the group’s status (boosting BUFF):
"Holy Light Lv5"
"Heart of Guardian Lv5"
"Divine Strike Lv5"
"Shadow of Holy Light Lv5"
"Order-Defending Array Lv4"
"Five Elements Guardian Lv3"
...
Several colorful glows lit up above everyone’s head, starkly contrasting with the gray-black tone of the valley.
This action for Zhang Xinying had become instinctual.
Now Zhang Xinying’s BUFF Skills can effectively double the group’s strength, showcasing their tremendous effect.
And at this time, Stable as a Mountain and Shiyu were guarding each side of the group.
Stable as a Mountain immediately initiated a group skill:
"Battle Banner Guardian"
A banner engraved with mysterious patterns was planted into the ground, forming a circle of protective energy that enveloped everyone.
Then Shiyu also followed by activating a skill:
"Dragon Prison Domain"
A giant dragon’s shadow appeared above everyone’s head out of thin air.
After a brief appearance, the dragon left only a long-lasting roar and turned into light dots, forming a protective circle.
A circle of blazing fire ignited around the protective circle, releasing scorching energy.
After all this was done, Shiyu suddenly shouted:
"Yuna!"
The two women exchanged glances, and Yuna immediately understood Shiyu’s intention, nodded, and said:
"Alright!"
Then Yuna began to unleash skills:
"Summon Thousand Soldiers!"
With Yuna’s wave, dense sounds began to emerge from the scorched earth around.
In just a moment, one by one, skeleton soldiers continuously crawled out of the soil, leaving pits on the ground.
These lowest-level skeleton soldiers, under Yuna’s command, scattered around the group, vigilantly guarding.
Just as everyone completed their preparations, suddenly!
Zhan Chen suddenly said:
"They’re coming!"
At first, everyone was puzzled.
But the next moment.
Countless wild monsters appeared at the valley’s end, surging like tide towards the group.
At this moment Xiao He also exclaimed:
"They’re coming from this side too."
Indeed, in the other part of the valley, countless wild monsters emerged, their density making one’s scalp tingle:
"So many! Oh my god!"
Moreover, these unknown things moved extremely swiftly.
It’s estimated that it wouldn’t be long before the guild would engage.
Xiao He, seeing this, anxiously said:
"They’re coming from both front and back, how do we fight?"
Shiyu decisively said:
"Retreat!"
Then took the lead toward one side of the valley.
The others had no choice but to follow suit.
Shiyu then said:
"Stable Uncle to guard the rear, Yuna cover."
"We must find a recessed cliff for cover, or else being attacked from both sides will be tough."
Stable as a Mountain replied, leading his giant dragon combat pet to guard the rear:
"Rest assured, leave it to me."
Some of the vanguard had already appeared within the group’s sight, and Yuna, who stayed behind to cover, finally saw clearly what these things were.
These are nothing but some entirely silver, horned a meter in size beetles (Silver Beetle Lv69)
As these beetles moved, everyone felt as if an earthquake was occurring, the ground began incessantly shaking.
Yuna said to Stable as a Mountain:
"Stable Uncle, fall back; I’ll handle the rear."
Then the scattered skeleton soldiers under Yuna’s command quickly began to gather, forming a ’human’ wall blocking the group’s rear.
Seeing this, Stable as a Mountain no longer tried to tough it out, retreated, and caught up with the group.
The giant dragon and other combat pets took to the skies.
After the skeletons formed a ’human’ wall, Yuna had already retreated.
Facing the seemingly endless army of beetles, these axe-wielding skeletons (Lv67) knew nothing of fear.
Soon as they collided!
The skeleton wall formed by nearly a thousand skeleton soldiers was broken open by the frenzied Silver Beetles in less than five seconds.
Those skeletons collapsed directly under this wave of impact.
Perhaps due to their vast numbers, the skeletons could not withstand the beetle tide.
Although it lasted for less than five seconds, it bought some valuable time for the group.
Shiyu led everyone to the foot of the nearby mountain, finding a shallow cave, delightedly saying:
"This is it!"
Then Shiyu let Zhang Xinying and others quickly hide inside while she and the following Stable as a Mountain stayed by the cave entrance, displaying an aura of one man defending against ten thousand.
After Shiyu hid in the cave, Shuai Diao Zha began releasing magic in the area five meters outside the cave:
"Magma Magic Land"
Every time Shuai Diao Zha completed the magic casting, an area three meters outside the cave would be covered with magma.
When the Silver Beetles fearlessly crawled into the magma, terrifying damage numbers instantly appeared over their heads:
"-645000" burn damage~
"-645000" burn damage~
...
Almost before they could walk out of the magma area, they were burned to death and vaporized, turning into experience for Shuai Diao Zha and others:
System: "Congratulations on killing Silver Beetle Lv69", gaining experience: 259969 (3.8 times)."
System: "Congratulations on killing Silver Beetle Lv69", gaining experience: 259969 (3.8 times)."
...
Seeing the system interface continually flashing with notifications, everyone was stunned by the high amount of experience.
A somewhat idle Tian Ci couldn’t help but drop his jaw:
"Experience this high, damn."
Over 200,000 experience!
To know, on the Rafam Continent, the experience gained from killing Level 69 monsters was less than 70,000!
Here, one yields nearly 260,000, which made everyone both surprised and delighted.
Moreover, seemingly, these Silver Beetles appeared aggressive, yet their actual strength was not as terrifying as imagined.
Quickly a wave of Silver Beetles approached closely.
But they were stopped outside the cave by Stable as a Mountain and Shiyu.
The damage these Silver Beetles caused to Stable as a Mountain was around 10,000.
Although this damage looked high, it was inconsequential to Stable as a Mountain.
Not to mention Zhang Xinying behind him healing, Stable as a Mountain himself healing with potions faster than losing health.
With Zhan Chen, Mingmen Yue’Er, and others joining the battle.
Everyone’s long-dormant experience bar began slowly increasing at a visible pace.
At this moment, Shuai Diao Zha couldn’t help but feel anxious:
"Why do I feel that this seems not to be a good thing..."
