Chapter 78
However, unlike Yu Feifei and Gu Feng, he did not quit halfway.
Instead, he used his terrifying combat skills to fight and kill the knight captain.
Facing the remaining Black Moon Knight, he coordinated with his troops to wipe out half of their forces once again.
Finally, exhausted and with almost all their troops wiped out, they had no choice but to abandon the challenge.
After calming his agitated state, Xiang Dong looked at Yu Feifei and Gu Feng, a victorious smile appearing on his lips.
"Gentlemen, it seems I have a slight edge."
"This time, the first place in the Void Realm belongs to me, Xiang."
In Xiang Dong's mind, among the players participating in the competition, only these two could be considered his opponents.
With these two coming out before me, the ranking of the Void Realm is no longer in doubt.
However, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
Xiang Dong was puzzled. What was going on with these guys?
Was he intimidated by his own heroic performance in battle?
When he turned to look at the screen, he, like Yu Feifei and the others, was completely stunned.
"There are... still three people inside!"
"And they even made it through the tenth round!?"
Without exception, all the contestants present fell under the iron hooves of the Black Moon Knights.
The three people in front of them were the only team to clear the level, and they were even in a team-based mode.
"Gu Feng, Yu Feifei, who are these three?" Xiang Dong asked in a daze.
Gu Feng, standing nearby, said helplessly, "You're asking me? How the hell am I supposed to know?"
"Who knows where they came from?"
He was even more frustrated than Xiang Dong, who had confidently vowed to win first place before the competition began.
Not only did they lose first place, they didn't even make the top three.
That's like a toad doing somersaults; it's utterly shameful.
"But... they should be coming out soon, right?"
Gu Feng looked at the battle on the screen and said in a low voice, "The last wave was already extremely difficult; it's impossible to continue."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone could see that this team was already at its last gasp.
The main reason they were able to defeat the Black Moon Knight was that the woman wearing a Hatsune Miku T-shirt pulled out a precious scroll called [Power of the Earth].
Otherwise, even if we win, we will likely suffer heavy losses, perhaps even losing all our troops.
However, just when everyone thought they would withdraw.
But then they saw the person in the wheelchair say a few words softly, and then the three of them took out another Brain Fruit and put it in their mouths.
Seeing this, everyone understood their plan and gasped in surprise.
"They're insane! These guys are insane!"
"They're actually going to challenge the eleventh wave!?"
"Nonsense! What were they thinking?!"
The players were completely baffled, and the staff at the Anomaly Handling Bureau were also getting anxious.
Elder Wang stepped forward and raised his hands, which had been behind his back.
However, Zhou Zheng calmly said, "Don't rush, let's see how things go."
"They are not reckless people; on the contrary, from what I know of them, these three little ones are very cautious."
"They must have their reasons for doing this."
Elder Wang's outstretched hand froze in mid-air as he asked doubtfully, "Zhou Zheng, are you sure?"
"In all the years of Jiangcheng, there have only been a handful of lords who have been able to clear the eleventh wave of Endless Mode during the beginner phase."
"If something really goes wrong, even I won't be able to save you in time."
Zhou Zheng's hands, which were trembling slightly in his pockets, remained calm as he said, "Yes, I'm sure."
After a moment of silence, no one said anything more.
But the look in his eyes as he gazed at the large screen was filled with intense worry and uncertainty.
Can these three really pull off a miracle and get through wave 11 of Endless Mode?
Meanwhile, within the Mist Void Realm.
"Shen Xing... do we really want to continue the challenge?"
Qin Lang's voice was a little weak. "The last wave almost gave me a phobia. I'm afraid this wave will bring monsters even more terrifying than those knights."
Shen Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Let's try it first. If things don't go well, we'll just run away."
The other two also said nothing more.
Years of working side-by-side led them to choose to trust their friend.
As the three waited in silence, time slowly passed.
This time, they will be given a slightly longer rest period.
It has been about five minutes since the last wave ended.
At that moment, another peculiar sound came from within the mist.
"Huff... huff..."
It felt as if something was flapping its wings; even before it got close, there was an invisible sense of oppression.
The three simultaneously assumed a fighting stance, shielding the soldiers in front of them.
As the sound of flapping wings grew closer, a massive silhouette emerged from the mist.
When the other party stepped into the range of the firelight, everyone was able to see the whole picture.
The monster looked like a large bird, at least three meters long and with a wingspan of over five meters.
It had no feathers at all, like a giant bird that had been plucked of its feathers.
Most horrifyingly, it had a huge human face on its chest.
The face was neither male nor female, the skin was abnormally pale, and the eyes flashed with extreme malice.
"Oh no! It's Human-Faced Demon Bird!"
In the viewing area, many people recognized the monster and immediately erupted in exclamations.
Chapter 65: Execute, Dominating the Top Three!
The audience was buzzing with discussion, their faces showing anxiety.
"I never expected the eleventh wave of monsters to be Human-Faced Demon Bird!"
"This monster excels at mental attacks; once hit by its sonic waves, your body will instantly lose Control!"
"This is troublesome. This is a Boss Rank Human-Faced Demon Bird, which is much more threatening than a regular Boss Rank monster!"
Even Zhou Zheng frowned; things had taken him somewhat beyond his expectations.
If it were just a regular Boss Rank creature, that would be fine, but this is Human-Faced Demon Bird capable of manipulating the minds of its enemies.
Once you're hit, there's not even time to crush the crystal.
At the same time.
The ugly, strange bird flapped its wings and kept approaching Shen Xing and the others.
The evil aura emanating from him was so powerful that it even suppressed the Bonfire, causing the flames to gradually shrink.
"Why do all the monsters in this game look so eerie?" Qin Lang swallowed hard.
But what he didn't know was that, besides its sinister appearance, this monster's attacks were even more sinister.
Before anyone could react, the Human-Faced Demon Bird's chest suddenly turned towards them, its mouth twisting into a strange arc.
"Ah--!!!"
A Screech shriek rang out, transforming into tangible sound waves that spread through the air.
The soldiers hit by the attack instantly turned white-eyed, then ran around wildly as if they had gone mad, hacking at anyone they saw!
"Buhou, this is a psychological attack."
Qin Lang's expression changed drastically. "Let's crush the crystal quickly and retreat!"
Xu Jiayi, who was standing nearby, also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately took out the crystal, preparing to crush it and run away.
Just then, Shen Xing suddenly spoke calmly.
"Make your move."
Gorehowl, perched on the giant wolf's back, roared and, with its last ounce of strength, hurled the large net from its back.
The large net instantly covered the Human-Faced Demon Bird, then quickly tightened.
The enormous, monstrous bird plummeted from the sky like a crashed helicopter, and the ghostly wails abruptly ceased.
The [Ensnare] has an additional 30% hit rate against flying creatures, which is also evident here.
But this monster was ultimately Boss Rank creature, and even when caught in the net, it remained extremely ferocious.
"Hiss! Crack!!"
It howled and tore at the Ensnare with its sharp claws, quickly creating several large holes.
It looked like it was about to completely break free from its constraints.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from above.
Everyone looked up and saw an astonishing scene.
A figure enveloped in red light, with jet-black wings on its back and wielding a large axe engulfed in flames, descended from the sky.
As we descended, a refreshing breeze burst forth beneath our feet, causing our speed to surge once again.
The target was none other than the Human-Faced Demon Bird below.
