Chapter 83: The Harpies
It was difficult to count the number of monsters, with nearly a thousand in each direction. One-third of them were elementary level monsters with strong fighting power. Each group of monsters was led by one or two first-order monsters. They were of different species and possessed different combat styles, making them even more difficult to deal with. All they could do was defend the camp and block the monsters’ attacks.
A group of one-eyed ape-men rushed to the wall, and the fragile earth wall was completely vulnerable to their punches. They immediately opened a passage, and a large number of monsters rushed in one after another. Wang Chao unleashed his berserk state, roared, and jumped off the wall, blocking the group of incoming monsters. With his wolf tooth mace, he smashed three one-eyed ape-men into minced meat, and the strong force blew down a large number of monsters. On the other hand, the Tigers’ vice team leader Zhao Dahai led the other team members to rush over, and in one round of attack, they annihilated dozens of monsters.
The bravery of Wang Chao and others boosted the morale of the camp guards who came to assist. However, the dozens of monsters that were eliminated were nothing compared to the huge monster horde. The monsters kept rushing and fighting against the humans from all directions, and the deafening cries of battle resounded through the night. In just a few minutes, more than a hundred monsters had fallen.
After crushing more than 20 monsters, Wang Chao finally confronted a first-order monster that charged towards him. It was a blood-red, one-eyed ape-man with immense strength and agility, making it quite formidable. Even with his transformation, Wang Chao could only fight it on an equal footing. Finally, Zhao Dahai came to his aid, and together they managed to hold it off.
The number of monsters was several times greater than that of humans, so this battle was destined to be very difficult.
Just as the battle began, several sharp and ear-piercing screams suddenly came from the sky.
Under the night sky, a group of bird-like monsters were flapping their wings and flying towards them, numbering about a hundred. The strange-looking birds had wingspreads of about three meters and weren’t particularly huge. They had black feathers and long, sharp claws, yet these monsters were almost indistinguishable from ordinary birds, except for the fact that they had a woman’s face attached to their necks. Their faces were quite charming, with blue eyes and pointed ears, but they looked out of place with their bird body.
The feathers of the frontmost harpy ahead were bright and pinkish, and its body size was three points larger than the other harpies. It was a first-order monster.
“Watch out! There are monsters’ reinforcements!”
