Reunited, crushing an Overlord (continued)

Shen Xing and his two companions watched the approaching monster and assumed fighting stances.

Zhou Zheng flicked his cigarette and asked, "Tier Three Overlord Rank monster with its own domain, whose combat power rivals that of Tier Four Boss Rank monster. Are you confident?"

Shen Xing said in a deep voice, "Let's give it a try. With Senior Jiang Rong's assistance, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Captain Zhou can just stay on the sidelines and keep watch."

"Alright." Zhou Zheng nodded. "If you really can't hold on, don't force it. I'll take you away."

Shen Xing glanced at him in surprise, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Then, he softly recited the names of the generals in the territory.

"Whoosh..."

As the gray fog dissipated, three familiar and powerful figures emerged.

Old Fordring, clad in full silver armor and wielding a mace.

And Leina, holding a staff and wearing a flowing red feathered robe.

And... the last one, Black Arrow, an ice skeleton over two and a half meters tall, clad in a full set of ice armor!

There is one front-row unit and two ranged units.

This is more than enough to deal with this Tier Three Overlord Rank monster.

"As usual, Fordring will go up and tank the damage."

"Leina, Black Arrow, charge up and unleash your attack."

"Senior Jiang Rong, please assist in channeling Holy Light."

Shen Xing quickly issued a series of instructions, and everyone sprang into action.

Fordring raised his black-scaled shield, his body glowing with golden Holy Light, and charged resolutely toward the colossal figure.

Leina and Black Arrow simultaneously raised their weapons and began to charge up.

Two completely different yet equally vast forces, one of ice and one of fire, rose up in the passage.

Behind the crowd, the Holy Light Priestess beside Jiang Rong also began chanting.

"Boom!"

The enormous, Frenzied Dark Manticore surged forward, quickly spotting the white ant at the front holding a shield, and abruptly raised its massive forelimbs.

Then, he ruthlessly struck!

"Whoosh!"

A huge flash of cold light streaked past, even slicing a crack more than ten meters long into the stone wall of the passageway.

However, when it struck the silver energy shield, it was completely blocked.

But this was only the first wave of attacks from the Frenzied Dark Manticore.

The next second, it swung its huge forelimbs again, its speed suddenly increasing dramatically, even leaving afterimages.

Not only that, but the sharp barb at its tail also rained down like crazy.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"

The relentless onslaught of attacks instantly slashed countless cracks into the Silver Shield.

Even the Fordring Fording was forced to retreat by this ferocious attack, leaving two deep footprints in the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Xing frowned slightly.

"As expected, it seems that Fordring Fording alone is not enough to withstand the attack of such an Overlord Rank creature?"

Just as he was about to summon Black Moon Knight, Xiao Hei Black, to provide assistance.

Suddenly, the old knight emitted a strong light, and a sacred and powerful aura rose up.

"The power of the Holy Light is endless."

"I once lost everything and languished in darkness for thousands of years."

"But now, I will never let history repeat itself!"

As he spoke in a deep, resolute voice, the golden light instantly expanded countless times.

It was as if a sun had risen from the spot, illuminating the entire passageway!

To everyone's astonishment, the Silver Divine Shield began to repair itself rapidly and turned into a pale gold color.

Tirion Fordring, the knight, raised his shield high and pressed forward resolutely against the monster's furious onslaught.

As he continued to advance, the Overlord Rank lion scorpion was actually retreating step by step, and even the power of its domain was being suppressed.

His back view at that moment was so old, yet so radiant!

The Holy Light Priest beside Jiang Rong stared blankly at this scene, muttering to himself.

"Such immense power of Holy Light, such unwavering resolve..."

"Just who is this person?"

At the same moment, Leina and Black Arrow's attacks were also fully charged.

"Boom!"

"Call out!"

Blazing fireballs and icy Arrows shot out.

"Crack! Boom!"

The surging chill instantly froze the monster's limbs, while the raging flames melted the ice in an instant.

The Frenzied Dark Manticore experienced the thrill of extremes, both ice and fire.

"Hiss--!"

It let out a mournful cry, its massive body now charred black.

The ensuing battle was, of course, a foregone conclusion.

In boss battles like this, the key lies in whether the front-line tanks can withstand the enemy's attacks and whether the healers in the back can keep them alive.

The Fordring Fording had completely suppressed this Overlord and would naturally not give it any chance to resist.

They maintained a ferocious output, unleashing a barrage of fireballs, dark metal spheres, and Freezing Arrow.

Two minutes later, the monster could no longer hold on.

"Boom..."

A heavy, muffled thud.

The massive corpse of the Frenzied Dark Manticore tilted to the side and collapsed completely.

Before long, it dissipated into mist, leaving behind a large amount of spoils scattered on the ground.

Shen Xing looked up and saw several glittering items among the Soul Stone scattered on the ground.

They were a golden scroll, a massive Overlord Rank Soul, and a black venom sac.

At the same time, a tin can walked quickly from the front.

"Haha, Shen Xing, you're my savior! You came just in time!"

Qin Lang said excitedly, his eyes filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.

At that moment, he also noticed the two people beside him.

"Huh? Senior Jiang Rong, and Captain Zhou are here too. You guys actually came as well?"

He asked in surprise, "This maze is so big, how did you all meet up and find me?"

Zhou Zheng took a drag of his cigarette and chuckled, "You'll have to ask your brother about that."

Shen Xing smiled and explained, "It's just a little trick of mine that allows me to find people I know in the maze."

"As for Senior Jiang Rong and Captain Zhou Zheng, I just happened to run into them on the road, and we ended up getting together."

"I see..."

Qin Lang didn't press the matter further, or rather, he was too lazy to delve into it.

For him, how he found himself was not important.

The important thing is that he reunited with Shen Xing, and now he can rely on Shen Xing again.

It's so exciting to think about!

Shen Xing looked at the pile of materials on the ground and asked, "How should we divide these spoils?"

Zhou Zheng simply shrugged. "I didn't do anything, of course I'm not involved."

Qin Lang shook his head as well. "I didn't do anything. You and Jiang Rong can just be seniors."

Shen Xing nodded without saying anything more.

"Senior Jiang Rong, let's continue with the 80/20 ratio then."

"Okay." Jiang Rong nodded gently.

Soon, they each put away their spoils.

Shen Xing took the scroll and the Overlord Rank Soul, while Jiang Rong took the poison sac.

After dividing the loot, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, shall we continue looking for the others?"

"Find someone else?" Qin Lang was taken aback. "Find who?"

"Of course we'll ask Jiayi and Feifei, who else can we ask?" Shen Xing said with a smile.

"Wow, that's ridiculous!" Qin Lang exclaimed in disbelief.

He had spent several hours wandering through the maze and had already deeply experienced the bizarre nature of this secret realm.

Most of the time was spent trying and failing, trying my best to memorize the route, but I still had to start over countless times.

Shen Xing, however, said that it was truly absurd to find other people in such a complex maze.

However, considering that he was able to find himself, it wouldn't be surprising if he continued to find others.

Qin Lang said no more and silently followed behind Shen Xing.

She simply gazed at his retreating figure, a thoughtful glint in her eyes.

The group of three grew into a group of four, continuing their journey through the dark tunnel.

Time passed slowly, and soon another half hour had gone by.

They traveled another ten kilometers or so through the maze.

Upon arriving at a reward room, the familiar wooden treasure chest reappeared ahead.

Shen Xing was just about to summon troops to scout ahead.
