Chapter 2421 Barely
Especially the leading figures of the team!
Their strength was the most formidable, and all the skeletal guards of the mausoleum who surged toward them were often shattered into dust before they could even get close or launch any attacks.
It was as if they were constantly feeding into a bone-crushing machine.
Fang Heng and the others, blending in with the skeletal guards of the mausoleum, gradually came to a stop. The three quickly used their mental strength to communicate.
Tan Shuo: "Can you see clearly?"
Li Shaoqiang: "Don't talk about it, it's impossible to see clearly at all."
Fang Heng nodded in agreement.
In this state, the scene before them was like it had been covered with a thin mosaic; the further away they were, the clearer it became, but the closer they got, the more blurred it was.
It was hard to discern even their size, let alone their faces.
Tan Shuo: "Hmm... This group should be the invaders, right? Anyway, let's complete the mission and find a way to take them down."
Li Shaoqiang: "With this body? Isn't it a bit too challenging?"
Fang Heng communicated through mental strength: "It is indeed a bit challenging, but the mission didn't specify the strength of the invaders we need to kill. Let's get a bit closer and observe. We'll go after the weaker ones."
"Alright."
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo both nodded in agreement and moved closer to the invader team.
Under the influence of the black fog, most of the skeletal guards from the mausoleum that surged towards the invader team were shattered and killed due to the team's counterattacks.
However, there were still occasional instances where some invaders accidentally strayed from their team.
Li Shaoqiang: "Why is their formation so scattered?"
Tan Shuo observed for a moment and said, "It seems the black fog is targeting them. While they're in the fog, their vision and perception are significantly affected, making it easy for them to stray from their main force."
"Got it. So, it's our advantage."
The blue light in the eye sockets of the skeletons possessed by Li Shaoqiang's willpower flickered frequently.
"Let's go! Take them down, target the easy ones, and hit them together!"
The three immediately moved towards an invader who had strayed from the main force.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng and his companions launched their attack from three directions simultaneously at the strayed invader.
By chance, the target of the attack was a player specializing in undead warriors.
The warrior player was a bit dazed. Affected by the undead black fog, he had momentarily fallen behind the main force. While entangled with two undead skeletons, he had accidentally drifted too far from his team.
Just as he was finishing dealing with the trouble, intending to return to his team, he encountered a joint attack from the three mausoleum guards.
D*mn! Elite monsters!
The undead warrior player realized something was wrong as soon as the battle started.
He raised his bone shield to push the enemies away, but instead of knocking them back, he felt as if he had hit a thick wall. The recoil made him stagger back several steps.
Whoosh! A black bone blade swished in front of him.
"Not good!"
The undead warrior player's heart raced as he raised his bone shield once more to block.
"Boom!" What terrifying strength was that?
The undead warrior felt his left hand, gripping the shield, growing numb from the strain.
Fang Heng swung his long blade forward again!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
A series of more than a dozen strikes landed rhythmically on the shield, causing the undead warrior player to be hammered backward repeatedly.
Fang Heng suddenly felt that this combat style was quite effective.
Anyway, he didn't know many melee skills and had always relied on this kind of heavy hammer attack mode to fight, so it wasn't much different.
Both of them used strength attributes to crush their opponents.
So, he quickly became familiar with the rhythm.
The undead warrior player grew increasingly alarmed as the battle went on. His left hand had become completely numb, without any sensation!
Seeing his health gradually decrease and even the durability of his bone shield nearing depletion, he suddenly shouted.
"Bone spikes!"
Suddenly, several thick bone spikes erupted from the undead warrior's body!
Fang Heng had sensed the attack in advance and tried to dodge.
Unfortunately, the agility of his skeletal body was severely restricted, making it impossible to avoid!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
Fang Heng furrowed his brows tightly.
His ribs had been pierced and broken by bone spikes, and his body had been knocked backward, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
What the hell!
The undead warrior player stared at the elite skeletal warrior in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
The bone spikes had pierced through his skeleton, so how could he still be standing there?
"Bang!"
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the undead warrior player's moment of surprise, Li Shaoqiang found an opportunity from the rear and swung his blade down toward the back of the player's neck.
"Chi!!!"
The blue flames enveloping the warrior player rapidly dissipated, and the player quickly turned into a mass of blue ash and vanished.
[Hint: Your team has repelled 1 invader. You need to kill 11 more invaders to complete the trial mission.]
"Nice job! Mr. Fang!"
With the kill secured, Li Shaoqiang, excited, waved his scythe.
"Go! Next one!"
After a short battle, Fang Heng had a rough understanding.
The skeleton inherited his health and strength. However, the physique attribute wasn't fully inherited, and agility was severely reduced to a very low level.
It looks like they had to pick on the weak ones to complete the mission.
Without hesitation, Fang Heng started to grind monsters according to the planned strategy.
The three of them were all elite players and had become familiar with each other's coordination after two runs. They specifically targeted isolated enemies, and among those, they focused on the weaker ones with less flame coverage on their bodies.
The plan was set, but these invaders turned out to be more troublesome than expected, often having unexpected survival skills that gave them a headache.
As time ticked by, Fang Heng and his team, who had been harassing the invader team from behind, could now see the structure emerging from the black fog not far ahead.
The towering and grand pyramid structure filled Fang Heng with a sense of awe. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Shuo said, "It looks like that's the mausoleum of Empress Persephone that the Death Knight mentioned."
"Yeah, Li Shaoqiang, we need to speed up."
Fang Heng said, glancing at the game hint.
[Hint: 3 kills remaining to complete the trial mission.]
Only three more to go.
Li Shaoqiang said, "Got it."
With the mission deadline approaching, the team had to search for some tougher isolated targets.
The mausoleum skeleton guards were not very strong on their own, and with the invaders each having their methods, the team ran into trouble when they got anxious.
As Li Shaoqiang was about to launch a surprise attack on an invader from behind, he didn't expect the invader to have special attack methods. Suddenly, several shadows appeared from behind and struck Li Shaoqiang!
"Boom!"
Li Shaoqiang was instantly entangled by a large number of black souls and was sent flying backward!
Oh no!
Fang Heng's heart sank.
"Li Shaoqiang!"
To make matters worse, Li Shaoqiang was sent flying into the midst of the invader team with a single hit!
In the next moment, Li Shaoqiang was engulfed by the invader team and was quickly killed by skills coming from all directions.
