Poverty makes me capable of anything.

At this moment, the guard who had been restrained narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you all afraid of dying?"

After saying that, he laughed to himself.

"That's right. So many years have passed. It would be too sad if humanity hadn't grown at all, hehehe..."

Because of the change in the shape of his teeth, he seemed to have a slight lisp when he spoke, which added to his strange accent and made him appear even more menacing.

You bunch of scum, I'm super fierce!

"..."

The snow of winter remained silent for a moment.

To be honest, he's very busy right now.

They were busy discussing tactics in the chat channel.

[I'll activate my shield and slam him against the wall, then you guys immediately attack the monster's main body, understand?]

What if I can't break through their defenses?

Yeah, yeah, why don't we just fight them both together?

The enemy is 3 levels higher than me, we should focus our firepower.

But there are many of us!

Being careful is never a bad thing.

[Shall we take action now?]

The controlled defense officer sneered, looking at the player standing in front of him with the same disdainful gaze: "But courage alone is useless!"

Humans are nothing more than inferior food that it only eats when it is extremely hungry.

It's very hungry now that it's just woken up, and it needs to eat a lot.

Then let's start with you!

Under the control of that spindle-shaped monster, the energy within the members of the defense unit began to concentrate in their right arms.

It moves very fast, but the players move even faster.

With a roar, "One man, one city!" a large, circular shield made of magic appeared on his right hand.

boom!

The large shield slammed forward, slamming the defense team members, who were still charging up, and the monster into the wall.

Under the impact of the external force, the monster stabbed even deeper, and for a moment, a sharp, needle-like object emerged from its abdomen.

"Hurry up!" shouted the winter snow.

The large shield trembled incessantly, and dozens of fine cracks had already appeared.

Without him needing to say more, these battle-hardened players had already brought out their most secret techniques.

The narrow corridor was filled with light and shadow, and the sound of the explosion could be heard far away.

The cute girl who had just closed her online store picked up an axe and charged forward.

"Purify your eyes!"

brush--

The cherry blossom-colored light dazzled my eyes.

In that instant, the axe displayed an even more powerful aura than the Cherry Blossom Divine Axe.

With a clang, the monster, whose small part was embedded in the body of a member of the defense department, was cleaved in two by an axe.

"Explode, monster!"

Countless energy orbs rained down on the monster.

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

The faint sounds of explosions continued.

The group held nothing back, and even though the monster had over 120,000 HP, after a brief resistance, it was ultimately reduced to dust.

As the monster disappeared, the controlled members of the defense team collapsed to the ground with a thud, their health bars instantly depleted.

Winter Snow dispelled its shield skill, took a breath, and began to comment: "Tch, I thought this guy was a tough character because he talked so arrogantly, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."

The other players also cheered.

"Alright, I've completed my advancement mission!"

"Wow, that's a lot of experience."

"It seems that if it's just a spindle-shaped monster, dealing with it won't be too difficult for us."

The winter snow began to greet others.

"Let's keep going and try to find monsters that are alone."

"Row."

As the little cutie passed by the body of that defense officer, her expression still changed slightly.

"Bah bah bah..."

She lightly jumped over and was about to walk to the front of the line when she suddenly froze.

A circular hole appeared in the ceiling above our heads at some unknown time. A moment later, a monster that looked like a rope crawled out of the hole.

"Ahhh-"

The scream immediately attracted the attention of others.

"Hold the grass!"

After turning around, Snow in the dead of winter, having failed to cast a reconnaissance spell, abruptly stopped himself from going up to help.

"Run! What are you all standing around for!"

In the blink of an eye, the winter snow had vanished without a trace.

"Hey--"

Someone reached out a hand, trying to stop the winter snow.

Fine, I'll just run with him.

"You guys, you're destined to be single forever, you know that?"

Another player shook his head, pulled out a bunch of flying swords, and bravely charged towards the straw rope.

Monster, I'll fight you to the death!

boom!

The straw-yellow light shone brightly, instantly engulfing the entire corridor.

As the light dissipated, all the players who hadn't managed to escape, including the one who had just rushed over, were pinned to the wall.

"Having courage alone will eventually turn you into my food."

The front end of the "rope" swelled up, and soon a mouth appeared.

It examined the players pinned to the wall and finally chose one that looked the fattest.

whoosh-

It opened its mouth wide and bit down hard.

But I got nothing.

In an instant, a thud echoed through the corridor.

The monster stared blankly at the cold wall in front of it.

Gone.

The human corpses had vanished!

It didn't understand what was going on at all.

The monster twisted its body, glanced around, and all the corpses it had pinned to the wall were gone.

An unnamed rage quietly rose within it, and it chased straight after Snow and the others in the dead of winter.

The prey should be aware of its prey nature!

Snow in the dead of winter has used every skill he has, but unfortunately, speed is not his forte.

If this continues, he will eventually be caught up by the monsters behind him.

Fortunately, the base was enormous; otherwise, he would have ended up in a dead end after just a few steps.

"We must tell others what's going on here!"

Winter's Snow quickly posted a message in the chat channel.

A single monster is easy to deal with, but once these monsters gather together, the player's strength becomes insufficient.

"Huff—"

The snow in the dead of winter was panting heavily.

Upon seeing an open door, he rushed inside without saying a word.

Let's find somewhere to hide first. His stamina has been depleted too much, and he needs to recover properly.

But as soon as they stood still, the snow of winter froze.

"(?Д?)ノ"

If the rope he encountered earlier was only as thick as two fingers, then the rope now wrapped around the huge glass instrument is as thick as a bucket.

"Sorry, I've come to the wrong place."

The snow of winter turned and ran away.

He was convinced he would be pulled back, but the monster simply stood still and let him go.

After running quite a distance, the winter snow stopped.
