Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

however,
At this point, the players quickly distanced themselves from the area affected by the black snake and continued to attack it.

Furthermore, under the intimidation of the sword formation, the black snake was completely unable to break into the player group and could only be pulled away.

Just then, Dawn once again wielded the Holy Sword and slashed at the black serpent's head!
The sword light, blazing with flames, tore another long gash in the black snake, causing its blood to burst into flames and emitting a burnt smell, as if it were almost cooked.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the black snake began to howl. Its voice became exceptionally shrill and unpleasant, like a mournful cry from the depths of hell. The black snake had sensed that its death was imminent.

With so many players joining forces, Black Serpent has been driven into a corner with nowhere to retreat. Even with the domain behind it, Black Serpent still feels unable to move an inch. The methods and strength of these players are simply too ruthless. Once they find a fatal weakness in Black Serpent, they will unleash a storm of attacks, constantly assaulting and striking it...

This left the black snake with virtually no way to salvage the situation.

Just then, a tremendous noise also came from the areas of Zone 2 and Zone 3.

Suddenly, the flying mantis leaped across a distance of about a kilometer and charged into the group of players.

The sharp mantis blade pierced straight through the chest of a fourth-tier player, taking his life!

"Watch out! It's the monsters stationed in Zones Two and Three; they've come to this place too!"

The scene changed so dramatically that it caught the players completely off guard. They never expected that these monsters would come to their aid from other areas!

The Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain instantly adjusted their direction, aiming their sword formation directly at the mantis.

at the same time.

There was also a ghostly figure floating in the sky.

The ghostly figure began to chant a song that sounded like hell, its voice ethereal and desolate, seemingly carrying a deadly sense of stillness, constantly drifting through the area. The song was incredibly deadly, as if it could sink everyone's mind into it.

"It's not good!"

Chenxi frowned as she looked at the situation before her, which was completely beyond her expectations. She realized that something bad must have happened.

"I didn't expect that the bosses from Zones 2 and 3 would both send reinforcements. This Blood Gate dungeon won't be so easy to clear!"

Previously, the players were only dealing with a single black snake, which was naturally a breeze. But now that the monsters from Zones 2 and 3 have come to their aid, the situation has immediately reversed.

"Let's deal with that mantis first. It's extremely aggressive and has a great armor-piercing effect. If we let it get rid of players in the middle of the group, it will end up in a very bad situation."

"The shield-type characters are responsible for keeping an eye on this mantis. We can't let its attacks land on us carelessly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Sister Sunfire, beware of that ghostly shadow. It is a half-spirit [Ghost Singer] with a very high status. Its song can greatly weaken all of our players' resistances and also put them into a weakened state. The effect is greatly reduced. If we continue to be affected by this song, it may even have a permanent negative impact on our sanity."

"In short, this dungeon is extremely difficult. We must be on high alert to fight against these things."

The players quickly perked up, knowing that the battle was no longer so easy. With the monsters from Zones Two and Three arriving, the situation would become extremely difficult to resolve.

At this moment, Chen Ye was still in hiding. When he saw the monsters from Zones Two and Three emerge simultaneously, he immediately revealed a thoughtful look:

"It seems that this instance doesn't have a final boss; it's just an instance of the Blood Gate World. But the fact that so many high-level monsters are willing to stay in this area as gatekeepers shows that the rewards of corruption are truly abundant!"

Of course, this requires sufficient combat strength to make these monsters willingly act as gatekeepers.

Moreover, when they take on the role of gatekeepers, they will inevitably be able to obtain a decent reserve of combat power within this instance, allowing them to develop better in this area and gain even greater strength.

Therefore, Chen Ye knew that these monsters had not actually chosen the wrong path, but they had simply formed relationships with the wrong allies.

Should we make a move?

Wu Nian calmly observed the current situation. He had noticed the strength of these players. Although they were all quite good and had excellent teamwork, there was still pressure in dealing with this situation.

Of course, if Chen Ye and Wu Nian joined the battle, the outcome of the fight would instantly be decided.

"unnecessary."

Chen Ye shook his head and said, "They still need to go through some training. And according to my estimation, their strength is enough to handle the current situation. We just need to watch from the sidelines and witness what kind of characteristics these top players have."

Chen Ye has an excellent memory. He can take in the abilities, habits, and fighting styles of any character who has appeared with just one glance, thus knowing what kind of players they are.

Therefore, for Chen Ye, this battle was a major opportunity to gather intelligence.

If I were to take action myself...

If the battle ends too quickly, it loses its suspense and becomes boring.

Therefore, in order to see a more interesting scene, Chen Ye did not choose to act immediately, but instead chose to wait and see how the situation would develop before deciding whether to make a move.

…………

At this moment, Chenxi was already facing the black serpent head-on. She wielded her holy sword, constantly drawing out deadly sword light, which struck the black serpent and erupted into a thick black mist.

The sword light slashed at the black snake, instantly carving out a long, bloody outline.

"what!"

The black snake let out a roar that was almost human-like. Clearly, having reached such a level, it also possessed a self-awareness no weaker than that of a human, knowing that this creature had consistently caused it harm, and that the harm was permanent.

The black mist that is burned and evaporated will take an unknown amount of time to be cultivated.

It's unbelievable that they've been worn down to this state...

and so.

The black snake must be furious about this.

How could a mere human being inflict such great trauma upon himself?

This is something the Black Serpent cannot comprehend.

It was furious, it roared... In its extreme rage, it charged toward the dawn, but was met with even more sword light, which engulfed the black serpent.

In the blink of an eye, the black snake's body was covered in wounds, and thick black blood dripped continuously from it, only to be mercilessly burned by the holy flames, creating a truly gruesome scene.

"We must attack alongside the Dawn Saintess!"

The players nearby noticed that the battle on Black Snake's side seemed to be nearing its end, and they immediately became greedy, wanting to get a share of the strategy points.

"Watch out! The praying mantis behind you is attacking!"

Chenxi quickly turned his head and saw that the mantis was pouncing on the players who were trying to approach the black snake. He immediately warned them.

But it's too late.

The players were all focused on the black snake and didn't notice the mantis lurking in the shadows, charging towards them.

Chi Chi!
A sound like a chest being ripped open rang out...

The players' pupils dilated for a moment before they collapsed into pools of blood.

The mantis's sharp blade pierced through the players' chests, injecting black blood that corrupted all their attributes, causing them to die instantly.

"This guy is too agile; we can't hold him off!"

The Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain nearby seemed to be getting a little impatient.

Their formation can only be used to hold off the mantis.

But once this mantis enters a stealthy state, its destination is completely beyond anyone's imagination.

Therefore, the mantis still found many opportunities to infiltrate the player's group and reap their lives.

"Damn it! Are we really helpless against this praying mantis?"

"The main problem is that the song of that [Ghost Singer] is really annoying. Our attributes have been suppressed. Fourth rank is equivalent to third rank, and fifth rank is equivalent to half a step to fourth rank. Our position has been suppressed a lot. Otherwise, it would be much easier to control this mantis."

"Now we need to head towards the Longhu Mountain formation. With the formation's blessing, we won't be affected by the [Ghost Singer's] voice."

"If it weren't for the songs of the Sun Sisters, our situation would probably be even worse now."

"Yes, thankfully the Sun Church was able to break into this instance, and the Manufacturing Association's firepower kept suppressing the red-skinned zombies. Otherwise, we might not have been able to take this instance."

"What we need to do now is to hold off the Mantis and the Ghost Singer, and wait for Dawn to kill the black snake. This way, we can release Dawn, a high-end combatant, to deal with the Mantis. At that time, we can concentrate our efforts on finding a way to deal with the Ghost Singer. This way, we will have a solution."

"But this black snake's vitality is just too tenacious, and its wounds have begun to heal even without our players' continuous attacks. Although Dawn can still create more wounds, its healing speed is still very impressive!"

"This dungeon is really not that simple. I've encountered so many powerful enemies in a row. I'm really impressed. I wonder where they all came from."

"There's no other way. After all, it's an industrial zone instance. We have to bite the bullet and charge in. We can't give these monsters too much of a chance to breathe."

"Yes, let's hold off this mantis for now. Shield-type characters need to stay highly focused and charge in whenever the mantis attacks!"

"I'll hold off the Ghost Singer!"

At this moment, Wan Tong's gaze, reflecting a kaleidoscope-like shimmering light, was fixed on the [Ghost Singer] in the sky above.

A moment later, a radiant, crystal-clear light enveloped the [Ghost Singer]...

The Ghost Singer's movements suddenly slowed down, and her singing became less loud, indicating that she was somewhat restrained.

The people on the field immediately felt a significant reduction in their burden.

Among them, those who felt it most deeply must be the group of Sun Maidens.

Although the Sun Maiden's singing could somewhat restrain the Ghost Singer, the Ghost Singer's rank was simply too high, and under the overall attack, she was completely suppressed.

It can only alleviate the negative effects on the people on the field.

However, resisting the singing of the Ghost Singer is still extremely difficult.

However, at that moment, Wan Tong used his pupil technique to restrain the Ghost Singer, thus creating more opportunities for the Sun Nun on the field.

It can suppress the singing voice of the [Ghost Singer].

This would be a good thing for the singers in Lieyang.

After all, the [Ghost Singer]'s rank is too high, and being a member of the shrieking type, they possess a certain singing ability. In the realm of singing, they have a significant suppressive effect on those of lower rank.

But if it's Vantone, then it's a bit different.

Wan Tong's mastery of the spiritual arts is also quite profound, and it is an application of pupil techniques.

Dealing with the Ghost Singer becomes incredibly easy, allowing for effortless suppression.

"Alright, we've finally managed to suppress the [Ghost Singer]!"

"Our task now is to take care of that praying mantis!"

"Leave it to the Taoists of Longhu Mountain. We have a sword formation that can restrict the mantis's movements."

"Form the Shushan Demon-Slaying Formation to trap that mantis and prevent it from having too many opportunities to move."

"That's right, leave it to us!"

"As long as this mantis is trapped within the Shushan Demon-Slaying Formation, it will have absolutely no chance of escaping!" (End of Chapter)
