It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 668 Chaos

Upon hearing Huangfu Miaomiao's words, Pei Xianjue hurriedly asked, "What happens if it exceeds 60?"

"What else could it be? Look, it looks like this. It has no strength left!" Huangfu Miaomiao replied while dragging Lin Pengpeng along.

The pigeons helped Wang Xunmei up from the ground.

The Dawn Swordsman was unaffected and helped Zhang Lu retreat behind the remains.

Pei Xianjue was anxious; she had to ignite the remains as soon as possible so that everyone could be bathed in the light again.

But my fingers were trembling so badly that the flame that used to leap up easily with a snap of my fingers could not produce a single spark even after rubbing them seven or eight times.

The team member's voice came through the headset: "Squad Two was attacked! The flames over the remains have been extinguished! No team members were injured, but they are all weakened to varying degrees!"

After settling Lin Pengpeng in, Huangfu Miaomiao ran over and grabbed Pei Xianjue, "You come here too! Don't rush to start the fire. If we get pounced on by the maze boss again, everyone's weakness level will be off the charts!"

Pei Xianjue was pulled behind the remains by her and hurriedly asked, "What happens if my weakness level goes off the charts?"

"You'll definitely die! You'll become like a vegetable, with all your strength just enough to breathe!" Huangfu Miaomiao quickly created a rune and slapped it into Pei Xianjue's body, saying, "I'll use the totem to help you lower your weakness value first. Once everyone's condition is better, we'll ignite the remains, otherwise it'll be too easy to attract the maze boss."

Huangfu Miaomiao kept working and created several more runes, which she then placed into the bodies of Lin Pengpeng, Wang Xunmei, and Zhang Lu.

Pei Xianjue noticed that Huangfu Miaomiao did not create a totem for the pigeon, which means that the Boss's weakening attack did not affect the pigeon.

Was it because they were hiding behind the remains?
But when the thick fog almost completely enveloped the platform, how were the pigeons able to avoid it?

Then the voice came through the earpiece again: "The maze boss is turning in three directions!—"

Pei Xianjue's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "All members of Group Three, retreat to the rear of the remains and take cover! Do you hear me?! Retreat to the rear of the remains and take cover!"

The three groups have already been attacked once. Judging from the time, the team members are definitely not fully recovered. If they are attacked again, their weakened state will compound and the consequences will be unimaginable!

At this thought, her mind suddenly clicked, and she urgently ordered: "Group Two, halt ignition! Group Four, prepare to engage! Chaos will prioritize extinguishing the guarded Prophet's remains. Once the light is reignited, you will quickly face a second wave of attacks while weakened! Do you hear me?! Do not ignite the remains! Do not ignite the remains! Do not ignite the remains!"

The maze boss launched another attack. Right after Pei Xianjue finished speaking, the boss rushed towards Group 3 like a gust of wind!
All three teams have retreated behind the remains.

Pei Xianjue stared intently at the location of Group Three, seeing the thick black mist recoil as if burned upon touching the holy light, then splitting into two streams like a turbulent river encountering an obstacle—

The brilliance was finally swallowed by the fog.

“I understand…” Pei Xianjue suddenly realized, “The Maze Boss cannot touch the remains of the Prophet. The moment it pounces, it first sprays mist to block the light source, and then extends its tentacles, so a fan-shaped absolute safe zone is formed behind the remains.”

The light got dimmer.

By this time, three of the twelve remains of the prophets had been extinguished, and their locations were concentrated on Pei Xianjue's side. As a result, the complete circular altar seemed to have a gap, and the surrounding mist was showing a faint tendency to seep inward.

Pei Xianjue felt a chill run down her spine.

If you don't ignite the remains, you won't attract the maze boss. But if you don't ignite the remains, it's not safe either, because there are also small soul-devouring monsters hiding in the fog, which are just as troublesome!

Pei Xianjue turned to the Dawn Swordsman beside her and said, "The Light attribute has a huge advantage here. I'll ignite the remains to lure the Boss over in a bit. You need to do your best to deal damage, understand?" The Dawn Swordsman nodded vigorously, "No problem. I only used 50% of my strength just now, and the light emitted by the remains allows me to quickly recover my energy. Sustain is not a problem at all."

Pei Xianjue said, "Next time, don't hold back, go all out."

The Dawn Swordsman was stunned for a moment, "...Huh?"

Pei Xianjue gave instructions to the other groups through the headset: "The combat mode of this maze is turn-based. Chaos has no combos. After launching an attack, he will definitely return to the center of the altar to rest for a few seconds. We need to create a time difference. Now, Group Four, prepare to engage. Group One, light the fire. When Group One engages Chaos, Group Two, light the fire, then Group Three, and Group Four. During the period before the remains are ignited, each group leader should use Holy Light to heal their team members in a small area to minimize the weakened time. Do you all understand?"

The team members responded one by one.

At this point, the maze boss has finished attacking the three groups and returned to the center of the altar.

Huangfu Miaomiao asked in surprise, "Strange, why is the Boss's bleeding status gone?"

Pei Xianjue used her remaining energy to conjure a ball of fire and said quickly, "The mist can weaken us, and correspondingly, the radiance can also weaken the maze boss. The wound continues to bleed, and now that three beams of light are missing from the altar, the boss's weakening effect has been removed."

Huangfu Miaomiao's eyes practically lit up with admiration as she looked at Pei Xianjue with utter adoration: "Xiaoyu, you're so smart!"

Pei Xianjue had no time to be happy; she was eager to see if her strategy would work.

"Four teams, prepare! Everyone except the team leader, retreat behind the remains and provide fire support. Cease fire immediately once fog appears!"

Her eyes were fixed on the maze boss in the center of the altar, waiting for the boss to turn to the fourth group as she expected, lock onto the fourth group as the target of the next attack, and then she would immediately set fire to the remains on her side!
The maze boss transforms into a black whirlwind once more, hurtling straight at the glowing remains on the stone pillar platform!
"Exorcist Knight! Show it what's what!" Pei Xianjue shouted.

The four teams were ready. The team leader, the Exorcist Knight, stood directly in front of the remains and unleashed his strongest holy light! Like a spear of light, it pierced towards the approaching Chaos!
That beam of light was so holy and dazzling that it pierced right through the Boss in an instant!
Chaos let out a painful howl, and at the same time, a large amount of thick fog spewed out, enveloping the platform where the four teams were located!

Pei Xianjue couldn't see the situation of her teammates, but she could hear a few gunshots. Then she saw the Maze Boss fly back to the center of the altar, enveloped in billowing black mist.

Huangfu Miaomiao suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly, "It's bleeding! The Boss has the bleeding effect again. That last hit might have been a critical hit!"

Pei Xianjue felt much more at ease.

well.

As long as you maintain this rhythm and keep attacking wave after wave, you can wear down even the thickest health bar!
She looked at the Dawn Swordsman with great confidence, "Are you ready?"

The Dawn Swordsman's expression was resolute as he held his longsword before him. "Leave it to me!"

In the distance, Chaos slowly turned towards this direction.

Its entire body was shrouded in mist, obscuring the extent of its injuries, but the continuous flow of black blood suggested that it was seriously wounded.

Pei Xianjue stared intently at it, gripped his sidearm tightly, and held his breath.

Just as she thought Chaos was about to attack, the earth suddenly trembled! As if sensing an even greater danger, Chaos abruptly turned around and let out a terrifying screech!

From the red mist outside the altar, a gigantic figure slowly rose—
