Monsters Are Coming

Cave World, Curse Origin Scene.

At the pinnacle of the city’s tallest building, eight figures stood like phantoms.

Their black robes fluttered in the wind, and each wore a menacing ghost face mask.

The leading figure casually tucked his hand into his pocket, his coat tails ruffled by the wind, standing atop the scene and overlooking below as if he were the king ruling everything.

"Boss, should we act?"

Behind him, a burly figure with the word "Stone" carved on the top right corner of his ghost face mask asked in a deep voice, his black clothes stretched taut, filled to breaking by explosive muscles.

His gaze fixed on the small moving figures below, arms crossed over his chest, thick muscles standing tall, feet firmly on the edge of the skyscraper like an ancient pine rooted in a cliff, unmoved by any raging wind.

From behind the mask, golden eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty gleam.

"No rush."

Faced with the inquiry, Yang Xiu looked up with an indifferent expression, his voice without a trace of fluctuation.

As he spoke, Yang Xiu’s gaze swept over the searching figures below.

After waiting long, these figures seemed to give up, once again starting to search for curse traps.

Yang Xiu spoke in a deep voice at this moment:

"Black Snake stays behind to snipe; the rest follow me."

With that, Yang Xiu leaped off the rooftop.

The other figures transformed into phantoms and followed, leaping off the skyscraper.

A graceful figure remained and lifted the sniper weapon: Poison Stinger.

Though called a sniper weapon, it was not of mechanical structure.

Its main body resembled a long, narrow white scorpion, with a streamlined exoskeleton, its surface covered with flesh and able to change color according to the environment.

The barrel was a hollow chitinous tubular structure, inside was a spiral pattern akin to a barrel, and the scope was composed of the compound eyes of some insect, made of many individual small eyes.

The woman known as Black Snake lowered her head, pressing her face against the gunstock, the biological compound eyes automatically lengthening to connect with Black Snake’s right eye.

Instantly, the world seen by Black Snake’s right eye changed.

Her vision became dim yet exceptionally clear, within the ultra-wide-angle view, the once invisible wind had flowing trails.

Black Snake placed her finger at the trigger position of Poison Stinger.

The trigger was a bundle of strong musculature.

Pulling the trigger, inside Poison Stinger, a mantis shrimp-like mechanism would appear, utilizing the elastic potential energy stored during muscle contraction to instantly shoot the loaded Bone Spike.

And the Bone Spike was the bullet.

On hitting the target, it would secrete neurotoxin, with barbs springing forth, securely locking onto the target.

Entering combat mode, Poison Stinger extended several tendrils to link with the woman’s body, as if alive, drawing her blood to charge itself.

The woman looked toward her moving teammates, seeking the chance to coordinate her shot.

Meanwhile, having landed, Yang Xiu led his team swiftly forward through the streets, charging towards the player team attempting to break the curse.

"Stone Statue, you go first."

"Understood." The burly man known as Stone Statue nodded deeply, taking a deep breath, his muscles inflating like balloons.

Yang Xiu’s gaze swept towards the figures nearing the aura, then nodded and said.

"Go ahead."

"Kill." The man known as Stone Statue leaned forward, suddenly throwing his head back, stomping his right foot to shatter the pavement, charging like a cannonball towards the player team preparing to break the curse.

"Follow up." Yang Xiu said, transforming into a phantom as he departed from another direction.

The remaining figures moved according to pre-arranged positions.

At that moment, outside the aura, the player team cautiously scanned their surroundings, ensuring safety before escorting cursed teammates into the aura.

As the curse energy quickly dissipated, the Eagle-headed Demon Player in the team suddenly alerted:

"Everyone, watch out, the rip-off dogs are here!"

Just as the Eagle-headed Demon Player’s voice fell, a sharp sound of breaking wind struck.

A Bone Spike pierced his forehead instantly, leaving a bloody hole at the center of his brows, his body falling and dispersing into mist.

The remaining teammates acted decisively, spreading around the aura.

In their view, several shadows rapidly approached from three directions.

The burly figure at the front was enveloped in black airflow, coming at them like a speeding tank with heavy pressure.

The tank player in the team resolutely stepped forward, raising the Rock Shield to absorb the impact.

Yet, just as the two sides were about to collide, the Bliss Player known as Stone Statue heard the voice of Captain Yang Xiu at his ear, then suddenly rolled forward, disappearing, and reappearing in less than a second from the Gap Space, fiercely crash into the team’s magic player.

Bang!

Caught off guard, the magic player was knocked down instantly.

Stone Statue grabbed the magic player by the neck, pinning him to the ground single-handedly, sliding his head across several meters of ground under the inertia, then his left fist shot out, smashing down hard on the magic player’s head.

Boom!

Under the consecutive hits, the magic player immediately disintegrated into black mist and vanished.

Meanwhile, on the rooftops along the street, several figures swooped down like birds.

They moved fluidly, only needing a light tap with their toes on the building walls to quickly adjust their positions in mid-air.

One figure flipped in mid-air, using the force of descent, stabbed a dagger towards a close combat player.

"Courting death." The player abruptly raised the Power Barbarian Axe to meet it.

Yet the figure leapt in mid-air, soared over the close combat player’s head, then flipped forward, a "Sky-Falling Slash" striking fiercely on the close combat player’s back, tearing the Gang Qi defense.
