The rain pattered down from the sky, and thick black clouds had somehow covered the aurora borealis that filled the sky. In the entire dark plateau region, the only light was the pink crystals in the background.
The only sounds were the ceaseless patter of rain and the growing roar of a monster...
A tense atmosphere permeated the crowd, as everyone watched the monster approach with unwavering resolve.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Suddenly, someone's voice pierced through everyone's consciousness, breaking the oppressive silence.
A dazzling array of magical lights surrounded the crystal, and the cold, sharp weapons reflected a terrifying gleam from the magical light.
However, there were too many monsters rushing in from all directions. The originally green grassland was covered by the colors of the monsters, and they surged in like a tide. It was not until they crashed into the crowd that they slowed down noticeably.
"Charge!"
"Kill you vile monsters!"
Humans and monsters clashed instantly.
The drizzling rain continued, and the earth-shattering sounds of battle did not slow its descent; instead, the rain diluted and soaked the blood splattered on the earth...
In just a short while, the land around the crystal turned red.
"Moo!"
"Awoo!"
The monsters' cries rose and fell, constantly pushing forward as if these humans were the ultimate dessert to them, something they would take a bite of even at the cost of their lives.
Such a terrifying trend has not frightened people.
A berserker standing in the crowd roared, "Die!"
The giant sword in his hand split a Demonized Spider in two as if splitting the heavens and earth.
However, while the greatsword has high attack power and gives people a sense of great strength, it also makes the user's speed very slow.
Another Demon Wolf had its eyes on him and, taking advantage of his inability to retract his attack, bit him.
The berserker knew he couldn't stop it, so he could only stretch out his other hand to meet the Demon Wolf's mouth. The sharp teeth and exaggerated bite force instantly made the berserker howl in pain. He then swung his retracted greatsword upwards, splitting the wolf's body in two.
"Come on! Again!"
The berserker flung his hand away, throwing the half-eaten wolf carcass that was biting his arm.
The rain was still falling, washing away the wounds on his arms.
The berserker glared at the other monster with a ferocious expression. Without even a moment to rest, he immediately engaged the other monster in battle.
The sounds of battle grew louder and louder, but the number of monsters remained high, especially those with control abilities. The assassins couldn't find them for a while, which caused them great difficulty.
Soon, the ground not only turned red, but also became littered with the severed limbs of humans and monsters. Some monsters began to gnaw on the corpses and severed limbs, making the monster horde that humans faced seem less daunting.
However, the rate of human casualties did not decrease, and more and more people were being devoured because they could not cope with the attacks of multiple monsters at the same time.
However, people from nearby bases heard about what happened and quickly arranged for rescue, attacking from behind and greatly reducing the casualties of those guarding the Crystal Sky Curtain.
However, the number of rescue teams that have arrived is limited, as they also have to deal with monsters in their own region. Therefore, the situation on the battlefield is still not optimistic. The number of people who have sacrificed their lives has already exceeded a thousand, and it is clear to the naked eye that more people will be sacrificed in the future!
At this moment, the warriors holding the front line began to tire and made many mistakes, letting the monsters in, which prevented the Shi Yi attacking from the rear from focusing on attacking the flying monsters.
If these flying monsters were to tear open the sky, the Golden Lifeform would appear and wipe out everyone here with a single stomp!
The commander was terrified and immediately activated his talent, shouting, "Shoot down those flying monsters in the sky! Quickly! Quickly!"
Among the arriving rescue team was a player who could fly. He quickly flew to the Crystal Sky Curtain and used a taunt skill to attract all the monsters flying towards the Crystal Sky Curtain.
Then start taking them for a walk in circles.
"Join the crowd as quickly as possible, protect the mages, and let them kill all those flying monsters!" the rescue team leader commanded.
"Bang!"
While the captain was speaking, an Elite Mantis swung its scythes and slashed at him.
The captain could only hastily draw his sword to deal with the situation.
"Team leader!"
The team members were all amazed by the mantis's speed.
"Don't worry about me, you all go in first!"
The Gale Mantis is a level 39 monster known for its speed.
Damn it, I never expected that such a high-level monster would appear among this batch of monsters!
The captain roared inwardly and forcefully pushed the Gale Mantis away.
However, it seemed that the Gale Mantis had its sights set on the captain. Even after being pushed away, it did not change its target. Instead, it assumed a fighting stance and stared at the captain with fierce eyes.
The rescue team leader gritted his teeth, gripping the sword hilt tightly with both hands, intending to use his strongest sword move to instantly kill the mantis.
[Extreme Shadow Sword]!
A phantom light shone from the blade, and in the blink of an eye, the blade pierced directly into the head of the Gale Mantis.
With a twist of the sword hilt, the mantis's head was smashed to pieces in an instant.
"Heh, no matter how fast you are, you'll still die before my sword."
"Pfft!"
The dead mantis instinctively controlled its scythe to slash forward, cutting open the captain's stomach, and blood and intestines instantly spilled out.
"Damn it... cough..."
The rescue team leader coughed up blood, quickly took out some medicine, swallowed it, and the wound slowly healed.
However, as the captain of the swordsmen, he vaguely sensed a sound of air being cut by his ear. He held his sword to the air, and a tremendous force instantly sent him flying.
"Invisible Gale Mantis?!"
The captain was shocked; level 40 monsters had appeared!
A level 40 Gale Mantis can become invisible, and with its speed advantage, it's impossible to kill this monster without the Perception talent!
"Damn it, even a level 40 monster won't stop me from killing it!" The captain put on his Night Vision Goggles and began fighting the Gale Mantis.
These invisible monsters instantly killed dozens of people upon their appearance. The deaths were so rapid that even priests couldn't heal them in time. For low-level players who were attacking with guns, their guns continued firing even after they died, until a second later, when their headless bodies suddenly collapsed.
If Su Xi hadn't activated the [Flawless Dome], she would definitely have noticed the illogical aspects of this battle.
Even though she had been captured when the monster tide appeared in her previous life, she was still able to understand the situation through the Mind Net afterward. There were indeed giant monsters of the Gold Rank, but the other monsters were not even level 35!
