Chapter 144: Absolute Crush
Indeed, many more ogres broke through the layers of soil overhead and jumped downwards. One ogre pounced towards the spot where Leng Le had just stood. If Leng Le hadn’t stepped back, she would’ve been the ogre’s snack.
"Damn it!" Leng Le, who had been trained before, activated the weapon attached to her shoes. A sharp blade shot out from the tip of her shoe. She then kicked out, piercing the ogre’s neck directly.
If one-on-one, Leng Le would find it difficult to defeat the ogre despite her skill. However, the key was that the ogres, after their jump from above and the impact upon landing, had all their actions slowed. Leng Le grabbed this opportunity and took down the enemy in one move.
But while Leng Le was able to react and seize the opportunity, other people couldn’t. Facing the increasing number of emerging ogres, many were knocked off guard by the falling ogres, quickly torn to shreds before they could understand what was happening.
Despite everyone knowing that ogres are afraid of bright light, it was of no use. Your flashlight either illuminated the ogres leaping from above, or it was directed at the ogres on the ground to keep them at bay. Either way, there was a trade-off.
The situation began to worsen. Su Hui quickly shouted, "Everyone don’t scatter, back to back, gather together."
Hearing this, the different factions no longer cared about their differences and cooperated. They banned together, leaning on one another, some in charge of shining the lights around, some shining lights above. This barely pulled them out of their unfavorable situation.
The ogres couldn’t pounce on those below from their jump from above nor from the ground due to the bright lights, aggravating them. They began howling angrily.
Due to the bright light directly shining at them, the ogres were unable to look straight and were knocked down by Ouyang Jin with a shove. Ouyang Jin then said, "Don’t just defend. If we don’t eliminate these ogres, we won’t be able to leave."
Everyone knew this. So while being careful of ogres that could jump down at any moment, they also attempted to eliminate as many ogres as possible after suppressing them with bright light.
Suddenly, a series of crackling noises that clearly came from a mechanism’s rotation pulled everyone’s attention. The mechanism seemed rather dangerous given how loud it was.
