The women, not to be outdone, huddled together and cooperated with one another.

They wielded the Water Shadow Crossbow, their movements swift and precise.

With nimble fingers, the trigger was pulled, and bolts flew out like meteors.

Sometimes they would fire in volleys, creating a dense rain of arrows that dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.

They would sometimes fire in a dispersed manner, providing cover for each other, making it difficult for the enemy to predict their attack direction.

For a time, the group actually managed to hold off the enemy's attack.

"Hold on, everyone! We'll slowly retreat back to the cave entrance!" Wang Fan shouted.

Xiao Meng quickly pulled back the bowstring of her crossbow and then fired an arrow.

It hit a skull directly in the head, and the skull fell to the ground.

Then he shouted back, "Brother, don't worry, we can do it!"

Qin Xiaoxuan's figure was light and graceful, like a butterfly dancing in the air.

He dodged an attack from a skeleton monster by sidestepping, and at the same time, fired an arrow cleanly and efficiently.

He shouted, "That's right, these enemies are nothing!"

Hua Nianci focused intently on the enemy, remaining silent.

He simply focused all his attention on the crossbow in his hand.

Every shot was incredibly accurate, hitting either the skull's head or its chest, giving the enemy no chance to breathe.

The two sisters, Su Yaqi and Su Yalin, worked together.

If one person makes a mistake, the other person immediately follows up with a crossbow bolt.

The two constantly changed positions, causing the enemy's attacks to miss.

The other person seized the opportunity to target the enemy's weakness and decisively made a move.

With the two working together, the crossbow bolts hit their target time and time again.

In no time at all, a large group of skeletons were killed.

"Sister, to the left!" Su Yalin, the younger sister, called out loudly.

Hearing her sister's reminder, the older sister, Su Yaqi, quickly turned around and fired a crossbow bolt at the head of a skeleton monster on her left.

The crossbow bolt pierced the skull, and the skull fell to the ground, turning into a pile of bones.

For a moment, the two sisters worked together seamlessly.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Wang Fan turned to look at Xiao Hei and the sand sculpture.

Upon spotting Xiao Hei, he darted through the enemy ranks like lightning.

With a single swipe of its sharp claws, it can easily break the leg bones of a skeleton monster, causing it to lose its balance.

Then, with agile leaps and turns, it bit down hard on the skeleton monster's joints with its sharp teeth.

Then with a forceful tug, the bones scattered all over the ground.

The sand sculpture, located at the entrance of the cave, had limited space, which limited its potential.

But it still managed to deliver a heavy blow to its enemies thanks to its enormous size and powerful strength.

Each swing of its sharp claws left deep marks on the skeleton monster.

They even directly crushed their sternums.

Its sharp beak, like a razor-sharp spear, slammed down on the skull monster's head.

It shattered instantly, sending white bone fragments flying everywhere.

Looking at Xiao Hei and Sha Diao's heroic performance, Wang Fan couldn't help but praise them: "Xiao Hei, Sha Diao, well done! You blocked most of the firepower in front, which relieved a lot of pressure on us!"

The praised Little Black and Sand Sculpture were like they'd been injected with chicken blood.

Little Black let out a howl and charged at the enemy with even greater ferocity and fearlessness.

The sand sculpture flapped its enormous wings, let out a loud cry, and continued its fierce attack on the skeleton monster.

Despite everyone's valiant efforts, the skeleton monsters continued to advance relentlessly, showing no sign of retreating.

Even more and more skeleton monsters appeared, as if the entire cave had been filled by them.

Not only were their numbers numerous, but some of them were even stronger and more ferocious skeleton monsters.

Their bones are harder, their movements are more agile, and their attack power is greatly enhanced.

Normally, the group could defeat those ordinary skeleton monsters with just a few attacks.

If you attack its weak points, you can kill the skeleton monster in one hit.

But now, facing these enhanced skeleton monsters...

It often takes several attacks from multiple people to inflict effective damage on it.

Compared to the ordinary skeletons that I dealt with so easily before.

The pressure everyone is facing is increasing exponentially.

"What should we do? I feel like I can't hold on much longer!" Hua Nianci cried out.

Her hands were trembling slightly from the prolonged attack.

"Yes, Wang Fan, this can't go on!" Qin Xiaoxuan said anxiously.

Wang Fan shouted back, "Hold on, everyone! We're almost at the cave entrance! We absolutely cannot give up now!"

Hearing Wang Fan's words, everyone gritted their teeth and threw themselves back into the fierce battle.

As time went by, Wang Fan's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.

It slid down his cheeks and soaked his collar.

His hands trembled slightly from gripping the weapon for so long, but his eyes still shone with determination.

The women were also panting, their hair soaked with sweat that clung to their cheeks.

Their clothes were already soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to their bodies, but they didn't bother to wipe it off.

If you look closely, you can see their hands trembling slightly from exerting too much force.

The veins on his arms were also bulging.

Before, I could catch my breath occasionally, but now I don't even have a chance to relax.

Qin Xiaoxuan gasped for breath and said, "This can't go on, Wang Fan, we have to think of something quickly!"

While desperately resisting the enemy's attacks, Wang Fan pondered the situation and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Everyone, slowly move closer to me! I have a plan!" Wang Fan shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly moved closer to Wang Fan.

Wang Fan pulled out a stone from his system inventory.

"Brother Wang Fan, what are you doing?" Su Yalin asked in confusion.

Wang Fan's lips curled into a confident smile: "Watch me!"

Then, Wang Fan kept taking out large amounts of stones from his system inventory.

The stones were quickly piled up, forming a simple stone wall in front of everyone, leaving only a small opening.

"Everyone hide behind the stone wall and attack the enemy through this small opening!" Wang Fan commanded.

The group quickly followed instructions and hid behind the stone wall, firing and attacking from the small opening.

For a moment, this makeshift stone wall actually stopped the skeleton monsters' frenzied attack.

The skeleton monsters crashed into the stone wall one after another, leaving only shallow marks.

Some skeletons even died needlessly because they were trampled by those behind them.

"Great! We've temporarily stopped them!" Hua Nianci said excitedly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Fan said, "Let's take turns attacking from the small openings and rest to recover our strength. This might be a great place to level up."

“That’s right, these skeleton monsters keep coming, which is perfect for us to practice and level up,” Qin Xiaoxuan agreed.

So everyone followed Wang Fan's instructions.

As they take turns attacking, their experience points increase continuously, and their level gradually rises.
