Chapter 63 : Monster Siege (7)
Monster Siege (7)
Seeing this scene, Chen Zixuan did not hesitate at all and directly followed that team, charging together towards the front line of the battle.
Just because others were afraid of elite-level monsters, didn't mean she was as well. With Cecilia's current level 6 stats and fully equipped with level 5 epic gear, even if she faced a dozen elite monsters at once, it was still not out of her depth.
With a boost of 377 points in Agility, the silver-haired girl moved at an astonishing speed and quickly caught up with that team of professional players.
Many players didn't even realize someone had passed by; they just sensed a waft of fragrance in the air, turned their heads, and found that the monster they had painstakingly worn down to the brink of death had suddenly become a headless corpse.
"Damn! Where's my goblin?!"
Meanwhile, at the very back of the front lines, the experience bars of Dawn's Light, Yuewu, and Gu Yanxi were all soaring rapidly.
Before long, Chen Zixuan reached the very front of the front line. Just as the players who'd fled earlier described, the open ground was littered with player corpses—at a glance, there were over a hundred of them.
Many players were desperately fleeing under the spiked clubs of a horde of Large Goblins.
The entire area was in chaos, with Large Goblins blocking escape routes everywhere. They were huge in size, high in attack and HP; if there were only a dozen, the players might have barely resisted. But now, over a hundred had arrived at once, with massive stone axes and spiked clubs swirling everywhere!
A Sharpshooter player apparently refused to back down. Even as everyone else was running for their lives, he still stood his ground, drawing his bow and dealing damage.
At that moment, a spiked club suddenly flew over and slammed down heavily on his head.
-124!
With a miserable scream, his vision went black, and he toppled to the ground, instantly turning into a lifeless corpse.
At this, the Large Goblins all grinned, letting out loud and crude laughter.
The players from the professional teams, seeing this, also chose to temporarily retreat or simply stood by and watched as these regular players were chased down and slaughtered.
There was no choice; there were just too many elite monsters.
At this point, the players were in complete disarray, with no desire left to resist. Whoever tried, died.
"Captain, what do we do now?" a player looked around anxiously and asked the young man beside him.
"Wait a little longer," the young man frowned. "These random players only know how to run. What's the point? The city gates are closed—where can they run to?"
"Should we cooperate with the other teams then? If we can't kill these elites, everyone here dies." the player asked again.
"We don't have a choice, let's wait for others to organize a counterattack first. We can swoop in and reap the benefits."
The young man spoke as he swept his gaze across the surrounding players.
Suddenly, as if he'd seen something, his gaze froze and he could not help but curse under his breath:
"Damn it, is she trying to get herself killed?!"
With these words, everyone immediately looked in the direction the young man was staring.
What entered their eyes was the petite figure of a silver-haired girl, wearing a set of equipment none of them had ever seen before, calmly walking toward the horde of monsters.
Is she an NPC? Seeing her hair color and her gear, almost everyone's heart involuntarily flashed with such a question.
However, what happened in the next second shocked them even more.
That girl suddenly drew a pitch-black dagger from her waist and charged straight at the Large Goblins, so fast that they barely had time to react.
In less than a second, the distance between her and the Large Goblins was reduced to under twenty meters.
At that moment, under the utterly stunned eyes of everyone, the girl's right foot—clad in dark knee-high boots—slammed into the ground and she leapt up.
Silver blades, densely packed like the scales of a serpent, reflected dazzling light as they shot from her palm. A Large Goblin was struck as if by lightning, collapsing with a thunderous crash.
-480!
The grey-colored, high-damage number floated up. Not only had she one-shot the unlucky Large Goblin, but she also thoroughly shocked every professional player watching from afar.
"That's... true damage?!"
"No way! Is that for real? 480 points of true damage?"
"Look at the weapon, her class must be Assassin. Is Assassin damage supposed to be this high?"
"......"
The players all started chattering, none of them willing to believe that on only the second day after launch, someone could deal such a ridiculously high damage number.
Even though her equipment looked extraordinary, to one-shot an elite monster with a single skill was simply outrageous.
Just how high did this Assassin's stats have to be to deal such monstrous damage?
As they spoke, the girl had already forcibly torn open a gap in the enemy ranks and vanished into the tide of monsters.
"Captain, she's charged in. Should we go too?" that player asked again.
The young man fell silent, a trace of struggle slowly appearing on his face.
Should he wait for total annihilation, or, like that mysterious silver-haired girl, dive into the enemy to grasp even the faintest sliver of hope?
He said nothing, but the furrow between his brows showed his deep internal conflict.
Finally, a few seconds later, the young man made up his mind. He gripped his longsword tightly, glanced behind him, and said in a low voice, "Fortune favors the bold and starves the timid. Even if we die, our team will die fighting! We're charging in with her!"
"Yeah!"
Upon hearing the captain's words, the players instantly felt like they'd been injected with adrenaline, and their morale soared.
Warriors and Paladins formed up to protect the rear-line ranged attackers, while Warlocks began to chant—cracks split open in the ground, and from them crawled out rotten skeleton soldiers...
Taking advantage of the gap torn open by the silver-haired girl before it closed up, the group coordinated perfectly as they charged at the Large Goblins not far away.
Opportunity only appeared in an instant; once missed, it was hard to encounter again.
While they hesitated, Chen Zixuan had already gone on a killing spree.
Large Goblins only had 40 attack, while Chen Zixuan's current physical defense was a whopping 61 points. The Blood Moon Slayer's Set, though a bit revealing, offered exceptional defense; at least with the Large Goblins' attack, it couldn't be breached.
On top of that, with Cecilia's current 120 attack, at worst it took only two slashes to kill a Large Goblin with ease.
Were he not worried about taking too many hits and lowering his armor's durability, Chen Zixuan wouldn't even bother dodging.
The worst that could happen was getting stunned and losing some HP, but a few seconds later, he'd be good as new.
One, two, three, four...
One Large Goblin after another fell to the ground at her side.
Meanwhile, at the back of the front line, the three "slacker" players' experience bars were rising rapidly: elite monster kills gave over ten times as much experience as regular monsters.
In just a few short minutes, Gu Yanxi had even leveled up twice in a row, catching up directly with the very top players in the country!
