Chapter 279 285: The Formidable Earth Dragon General
Zhao Ming immediately used pain relief medicine, recovery potions, and attribute potions. Various status skills came into effect in quick succession, significantly raising his life energy, defense, and various attributes, making his defense twice as strong as usual!
"Tank squad!"
"Hold the line for me!"
As Zhao Ming spoke, he led by example, leading a fully-buffed tank squad to intercept and withstand the first wave of attacks in close quarters with the monsters.
"Minotaur Charge!"
"Shock Strike!"
A minotaur charged and crashed into the giant shield, then delivered a fierce blow onto it. Yet Zhao Ming remained as steady as a rock, not retreating one step, but instead countering with a shield strike.
Old Zhao was undeniably the main tank.
A circle of assistant tanks supported the battle.
These people were mainly well-equipped, high-defense combat professionals, and holy professionals who hadn't learned healing skills but pursued a melee path. Although their defense wasn't as strong as Zhao Ming's, they were also formidable.
Despite the monsters' overwhelming onslaught,
the damage from the wave was spread out.
The front-line monsters were blocked, and those in the rear couldn't get through.
The tank squad formed several lines of defense, enough to hold the monsters at bay.
The holy professionals in the rear fervently healed, ensuring that as soon as they got injured, they'd get immediate recovery.
The fiercest first wave of assault came to an end.
Now it was the kitchen knife team's turn to perform!
The kitchen knife team's leader, Old Xu, wielding a giant sword, charged out towards an elite minotaur, unleashing sword strikes like a storm.
Instant Slash!
Tornado Slash!
Triple Slash!
Qi Gathering Slash!
Armor-Piercing Strike!
Xu Tianhua's overall strength surely couldn't match Hang Yu's.
But in terms of explosive power, he was even stronger than Hang Yu.
However, Xu Tianhua's attributes weren't as high as Hang Yu's, and his equipment was slightly inferior, so his instantaneous output was about the same as Hang Yu's, delivering five or six attack skills in a combo, taking down an elite minotaur.
True to the kitchen knife team's reputation!
The other members of the kitchen knife team were also formidable!
They were all combat professionals with high attack power or those who had learned more than two attack skills. Once a wave of attacks erupted, it was like knives slicing vegetables, instantly cutting down numerous monsters.
The fortress corridor piled up with bodies.
Monster bodies naturally decomposed in a few minutes.
This hindered the monsters' subsequent attacks, forcing them to angrily drag their comrades' bodies away before continuing to attack humans.
Chen Yu cast a Second Tier skill, the area attack skill Thunder Burst!
Zhang Xiaoqiang unleashed a terrifying Innate Acquisition!
Other members of the ranged attack team also launched continuous attacks, with arrows and magic constantly exploding in the corridor. Due to spatial constraints, the monsters had nowhere to hide, quickly paving the area with a heap of corpses.
"Good, keep it up!"
Hang Yu pulled out Bai's flamethrower and unleashed a ferocious blaze at the monsters.
To humans, this fortress corridor was like a three- or four-lane highway, which was very spacious, but for most of the burly minotaurs and wild boarmen, it was extremely crowded.
The flames flickered for five seconds.
Instantly filling the field of vision.
Several wild boarmen were burnt to death on the spot.
At this moment, Hang Yu's Eagle Eye skill observed a large group of mage monsters, doctor monsters, and shooter monsters rushing in from the rear. Although blocked by front-line monsters and the ninety-degree angle issue, they couldn't directly attack everyone.
But if these monsters mixed into the front-line monsters,
they would pose a significant threat.
Hang Yu shouted, "Bai!"
Bai activated Illusion Dust, releasing a mass of luminous dust that filled the entire passage, disrupting the monsters' attacks and movements, causing them to hallucinate, often misplacing their magic, striking their own allies, and misdirecting doctor monsters' healing skills, causing significant impact.
The front-line monsters fell one after another!
The rear-line monsters pressed forward one by one!
Relentless advance!
Very good, very good!
The human side suffered minimal casualties.
Perhaps they could indeed rely on the terrain advantage to gradually exhaust and easily eliminate these monsters.
But just at that moment,
an unexpected change occurred.
Everyone noticed a shadow quickly sweeping over their heads. When they looked up to the sky, they were all shocked to their core.
"What is that?"
"A dragon! It's a dragon!"
Three two-legged flying dragons appeared overhead.
These dragons seemed to be of a relatively lower tier, appearing slightly larger than a glider, devoid of scales, adorned with fleshy wings, and equipped with a pair of eagle-like claws, exuding extreme ferocity.
Three two-legged dragons!
With a figure on each of their backs!
Behind the left and right dragons stood tall figures clad in chain armor, masked, holding long staffs – dragon-man priests.
On the central dragon stood a brawny figure, donned in golden armor, wielding a gleaming long spear, with a fiery red cloak billowing behind – the greatest boss monster of the fortress.
Earth Dragon General!
These monsters, they can actually fly!
But where did the two-legged dragons come from!
Two dragon priests were casting spells separately, causing the Earth Dragon General's body surface to glow with various BUFF skills. The Earth Dragon General, without a word, leapt straight off the dragon's back, more than ten meters high, directly into the crowd.
Finally, it's here!
"Everyone be careful, don't clash with it."
"Quickly retreat thirty meters away, let me handle him!"
Hang Yu noticed the Earth Dragon General falling into the rear position of the team, where there were some relatively fragile magic professionals and spiritual professionals. The destructive power of the Earth Dragon General is terrifying. A slight mistake, and the rear might be wiped out!
No powerful mage output.
No spiritual professional for monster control and field control.
The battle in the front would also be difficult to sustain!
Hang Yu, while running, drew his bow and shot an Assault Arrow.
The Earth Dragon General swept his long spear in midair, striking the arrow with the spear tip, shattering it to pieces.
Hang Yu quickly advanced with Bai, simultaneously releasing a summoning talisman to dispatch an Undead Knight to charge as fast as possible towards the back.
There was a loud boom!
The Earth Dragon General had landed!
Despite Hang Yu's warning, there were still three people who, because they couldn't react in time, were hit by the shock wave and killed instantly on the spot!
The Earth Dragon General didn't delay even a second.
After landing, he swung his battle spear, emitting a dazzling light wave, and began gathering a powerful force.
"Oh no!"
"Earth Dragon Wave!"
This is an area attack skill!
It can sweep through targets in a fan shape twenty meters wide and in a straight line.
Within this range, there are at least a dozen or twenty people. Because it was all too sudden, everyone simply didn't have time to escape. Once this skill is unleashed, it could wipe out a large area, severely weakening the team's strength.
Hang Yu was already too late to stop it.
Of course.
He had no way to stop it either.
At this moment, Qin Mu decisively halted and turned back.
He cast an innate Silence Curse, causing the wave gathering on the gun blade of the Earth Dragon General to be snuffed out instantly.
The Earth Dragon General was furious.
He dashed forward, piercing Qin Mu's chest with a spear, pinning him to the wall with the gun blade as thick as a wrist.
-90!
Qin Mu was killed outright!
He couldn't even withstand a single normal attack!
Not far away, Zhang Xiaoqiang was almost scared to death at the sight!
In a hurry, he conjured a Fireball, smashing it into the opponent's face, causing an explosion.
-9!
According to Hang Yu's estimation.
The Earth Dragon General's Life Energy exceeds 1300!
Now with the Dragon Priest's BUFF enhancement, he might have 1500 Life Energy. This little damage could barely scratch the surface.
And just as the damage was inflicted.
A Dragon Priest overhead cast healing.
Instantly restoring the slight Life Energy the Earth Dragon General lost.
The Earth Dragon General flicked his hand, quickly throwing the long spear, turning into a Fire Meteor, crashing into Zhang Xiaoqiang, blasting him into pieces, not even leaving an intact corpse.
-110!
The Earth Dragon General is already a formidable Golden Lord.
And with several BUFF effect enhancements, his damage capability increased by at least thirty percent. At this stage, humans are practically powerless against him; he can easily kill them with a mere gesture.
He is, by far, the strongest BOSS monster.
The moment he appeared, he had already taken out several individuals, including two main members. His overwhelming and invincible aura was terrifying!
Hang Yu finally arrived.
The Undead Knight finally attacked!
Knight Charge + Death Strike!
-25!
The Earth Dragon General was knocked back a few steps, his chest armor slightly damaged, suffering a little damage, but was soon healed by a Dragon Priest.
Others had already successfully retreated to a safe distance.
Hang Yu and Hang Xiaobai arrived.
The two of them stopped the Earth Dragon General.
Hang Yu looked up at the sky: "The Two-legged Dragons are turned into Flying Dragon Guards, three Golden Elite monsters. The two dragon priests are Silver Elites. If we don't take them out, we can't proceed with the fight!"
It can only be left to Bai.
Hang Yu couldn't handle them.
After all, the two-legged dragons are flying monsters!
Hang Yu's Stone Golem Wings can only fly short distances and aren't very agile.
"Bai can handle them!" Hang Xiaobai flapped his wings, his gaze falling on the Earth Dragon General, "But..."
"No worries, I'll hold off the Earth Dragon General!" Hang Yu showed a rarely serious expression, "But you need to be quick, because even I can't hold on for long against this guy."
