Outside the Shield Temple, it seems to have been occupied by a large number of Soul Eaters.
The sight of dozens of soul-eating monsters crawling outside the temple shocked Cao Xing.
"Oh my god... so many?"
Cao Xing was surprised and felt a sense of pressure at the same time.
In addition to those ordinary Soul Eaters, he even saw one or two Soul Eaters with red and yellow skin among the monsters.
The way they walk upright, they look more like aliens in movies.
Take a look at the attributes of these monsters.
[Soul Eater Howler (lv25)]
[Species: Soul Eater]
[Level: Level 3 Elite]
[Health: 18940/18940]
[Attack power: 1077~1112]

【Talent: Soul Devouring Body】
…
[Soul Eater Lurker (lv27)]
[Species: Soul Eater]
[Level: Level 3 Elite]
[Health: 17680/17680]
[Attack power: 1205~1244]
[Skills: Spiritual Pressure, Soul Claw, Soul Devouring (same attributes as above)
Stealth Claw (hides into the shadows, and the next time you appear, you will deal 217% damage to the enemy, with a cooldown of 180 seconds)]
【Talent: Soul Devouring Body】
…
"Such a huge amount of blood." Cao Xing's pupils shrank.
However, except for these two elite Soul Eaters.
Next to it was a giant soul-eating monster that was over five meters long, with its huge black mouth wide open, as if it could swallow a person in one bite!
This is the strongest among these soul-eating monsters!
[Soul Eater Ripper (lv28)]
[Level: Tier 3 Boss-level creature]
[HP: 31240/31240]
[Attack power: 1519~1540]
[Skills: Spiritual Pressure, Soul Claw, Soul Devouring (same attributes as above)
Claw Sweep (The Ripper swings its claws horizontally, dealing two bursts of 157% damage to the enemy and crippling them. Cooldown time: 120 seconds)
Demonic Bite (The Ripper grabs the enemy and starts a crazy bite, causing multiple damage to the enemy and restoring its own health. The cooldown time is 500 seconds)]
【Talent: Soul Devouring Body】
…
"What a horrible guy!" Cao Xing commented.
He did not let his men rush in immediately, but continued to observe the situation inside.
At this moment, the soul-eating monsters are attacking the gate relentlessly.
However, each time it would be bounced back by the blue energy shield above the door.
However, it seems that due to the continuous attacks of these Soul Eaters, the energy shield on the gate has become increasingly weak.
Cao Xing thought: "This should be the advanced magic gate that the undead Karhan mentioned, which keeps these soul-eating monsters out."
"But it looks like this door is about to collapse."
Scan the properties of the door.
[Advanced Magic Gate]
[Armor: 500]
[Durability: 200000]
[Shield Durability: 34032/100000 (recovers 1000 points of durability per second, consumes 5 points of energy)]
[Remaining Energy: 1032/50000]
…
Cao Xing nodded secretly.
Just as I expected, the door was about to collapse.
Wait until the shield's energy is exhausted, then you can attack the gate itself.
After that, the group of Soul Eaters can rush into the Shield Temple and start the buffet session.
At this time, the men also saw the scene inside.
Bron lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Gods! So many monsters!"
Hearing his voice, the other men came over and saw the scene inside.
I was suddenly shocked.
Renis was also surprised: "So many Soul Eaters!"
For a moment, everyone felt a pressure in their hearts.
Although they are strong, there are too many Tier 3 Soul Eaters here.
Plus the gap between the second and third order.
If they were besieged, even they would not be able to withstand it.
Cao Xing made a gesture, asking everyone to retreat slowly.
In the passage, people quickly gathered together.
Then, all eyes turned to Cao Xing.
Although Cao Xing is only a second-level wizard, his command ability has been recognized by everyone through the previous battles.
Even Sarah admired his conducting ability.
These recruited creatures are all waiting for Cao Xing to issue orders.
Cao Xing was also thinking, seemingly thinking about tactics.
At this time, he looked up at Sarah beside him and asked, "Sarah, are you sure I can hand over those two elite Soul Eaters and the leader to you?"
Sarah nodded: "My sharp blade will be driven by you to cut through all thorns!"
She appeared very confident.
Although Sarah is a newly advanced level 3 boss, she is still a few levels behind these soul-eaters.
But her rich combat experience and the series of BUFFs that Cao Xing added to her made her survivability and attack capabilities terrifyingly strong.
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
"Next, Sarah will launch the attack first, and then be responsible for leading the three Soul Eaters away and away from the battlefield."
"We need to attract the attention of the other Soul Eaters and have them all come over to attack us."
"And Braun and Assam, you will guard the gate together."
"Then all long-range units will begin to output at full capacity."
This is a very simple Karmen tactic.
However, because the gate in front of them was very wide, it would take at least two strong warriors to block it.
And the key point of this tactic is that Sarah can successfully lure the three powerful soul-eaters out of the battlefield.
At the same time, Assam and Braum, who are responsible for blocking the door, must block the attacks of the Soul Eater outside and must not let the Soul Eater in.
So, Cao Xing took out the [Secret of Life (Small)] from his backpack.
Then 5 bottles were given to Bron, Assam, Andrew and Sarah each.
Cao Xing said, "In a while, the four of you will bear most of the pressure. You must follow my instructions."
Asam was the first to respond, "Follow the Lord's orders. I believe that you will lead us to victory as you did before!"
Andrew on the side also stretched out his claws, "You are a wise lord. The power of nature will be driven by you."
Cao Xing nodded.
Then, he said directly: "Now, let's start the action!"
"Sarah, go!"
As Cao Xing finished speaking, Sarah had already disappeared from the shadows.
She went into stealth mode and went directly into the hall outside the passage.
And the group of soul-eating monsters seemed to be completely unaware.
Cao Xing and his men waited silently.
Everyone held their breath.
A few seconds later.
A bloody mark suddenly appeared on the back of the boss monster: Soul Eater Ripper.
A flash of cold light passed silently.
【-3754! 】
The next moment, a terrifying number of casualties appeared.
The Soul Eater, the Ripper, was attacked and screamed towards the sky.
"hiss!!!"
The sharp cries caused the entire group of Soul-Eating Monsters to stir.
Boom! Boom, boom, boom!
The chaotic footsteps of the Soul Eaters seemed to be looking for an enemy to attack them.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find it.
While in [Shadow Blossom], Sarah will not exit stealth even if she attacks.
At this moment, a blood mark also appeared on the bodies of the other two elite Soul Eaters.
【-2314】
【-2251】
Two horrific injury figures emerged.
“Hiss! Hiss!”
The elite Soul Eaters also let out angry hisses.
The entire group of monsters started to riot more severely.
At the same time, after Sarah attacked three times, she came out of the [Shadow Bloom] state and gradually revealed her figure.
The group of soul-eating monsters also saw a shadow in the corner of the hall.
The Soul Eater Ripper's eyes suddenly turned red.
"hiss!"
The next moment, all the Soul Eaters rushed towards Sarah like a group of mad aliens.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The sight of dozens of Soul Eaters rushing past was quite astonishing.
At this moment, Cao Xing said, "Raness, Hilda, attack!"
"Asam, charge into the group of monsters and attract the attention of all the Soul Eaters!"
Cao Xing finished speaking.
Assam rushed out like a knight going to war, holding his sword high.
Renes and Hilda also attacked at the same time.
At this moment, the group of soul-eating monsters saw another figure rushing towards them from behind, and their attention was immediately drawn here.
“Hiss! Hiss!”
Some of the Soul Eaters rushed towards Asam.
Cao Xing ordered from behind: "Asam, use the Sword of Justice!"
Assam did not hesitate at all after hearing this. He raised the knight's sword in his hand, and a sacred light condensed.
"In the name of justice, cut!"
Swish! Swish, swish, swish!
【-335】
【-347】
【-384】
【-594! 】
【-317】
…
At least a dozen Soul Eaters were swept away by Assam's sword energy!
However, after landing, the monsters rushed towards Assam with even more ferociousness.
Even some of the Soul Eaters that were chasing Sarah rushed over.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing directly ordered: "Assam, come back!"
"Raness, Hilda, keep attacking the Soul Eaters next to Sarah and attract all of them over here!"
After receiving Cao Xing's instructions.
Renis adjusted the angle of her arrow instantly.
call out!
【-478! 】
The first arrow was shot, and the second arrow was shot right after.
And Hilda also began to vomit blood poison in patches.
It fell on the group of soul-eating monsters, making a series of "hissing" sounds.
The Soul Eater felt pain and let out a series of painful hisses.
More and more Soul Eaters rushed towards them.
And when Cao Xing saw that some of the Soul-Eating Monsters were still rushing towards Sarah, his eyes suddenly fixed.
"Asham, turn around and slash out with a Frostwolf sword."
At this time, Assam was running towards the passage and received instructions from Cao Xing.
He stopped in his tracks for a moment, and then a breath of frost gathered in his sword.
“Swish!”
A blue sword energy slashed vertically and fell into the group of monsters on Sarah's side, causing dense damage numbers.
However, Assam's sword completely attracted the attention of all the Soul Eaters.
Including two elites and a leader, the Soul Eater, they all rushed towards the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Ji Xinyue's heart tightened instantly.
Because this is different from Cao Xing's tactical arrangement,
If the elites and leaders are not led away, they will be under tremendous pressure.
The formation might be broken up, and everyone might be torn to pieces by the Soul Eater!
However, Cao Xing did not seem to panic.
He gestured to Sarah.
Sarah understood in the dark and snapped her fingers.
“Pah!”
The next moment, the three soul-eating monsters were suddenly struck by lightning.
【-3754】
【-2314】
【-2251】
Three horrible wounds appeared from their heads.
This is Sarah's [Shadow Blossom] skill, which can record the damage of previous attacks and then detonate to cause full damage. It's quite terrifying!
But unfortunately, this skill has a five-minute cooldown time.
At this moment, the three Soul Eaters suffered severe damage and were finally completely attracted to Sarah's hatred.
They broke away from the battlefield and rushed towards Sarah.
Sarah was not afraid at all. She stood there and made provocative gestures towards the three soul-eaters.
When Cao Xing saw this scene, he felt relieved.
"Great! The Soul Eaters have finally been separated!"
Dozens of common Soul Eaters rushed towards them.
And Cao Xing immediately gave the order.
"Braum, put up your shield!"
"Asam, help Braum defend with all his strength!"
The next moment, two big guys blocked the passage door tightly!
And those soul-eating monsters also rushed up madly.
“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”
They made shrill hissing sounds and attacked Assam and Braum with their sharp claws!
“Crack! Crack!”
There were bursts of cracking sounds.
The three layers of holy shields on the two were torn to pieces by a large number of Soul Eaters.
Immediately afterwards, the special effect on Liu Muxue's shield, [Knight's Blessing], was also destroyed.
The next moment, damage numbers appeared above their heads.
【-214】
【-204】
【-193】
Seeing the damage figures, Cao Xing nodded secretly.
"Very good, the damage is still within the tolerable range."
"These third-tier Soul Eaters have an attack power of 500 to 600."
"But it has been greatly weakened by the armor and frost shield on Asam and Braum."
"Adding to the success of Carmen's tactics, there are only four to six Soul Eaters that can attack them at the same time!"
"That way, they can keep those monsters out!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Muxue and Ji Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At the same time, Ji Xinyue looked at Cao Xing's back and couldn't help but feel admiration.
Although this man had so many powerful recruited creatures, he was not rash and arrogant and did not rush forward to confront the group of Soul Eaters head-on.
Instead, choose to play it safe and utilize some simple but effective tactics.
It’s no wonder that people like this can develop so fast in this doomsday world.
Ji Xinyue thought so.
At this moment, the monsters were seen being blocked.
There was no need for Cao Xing to say more, as Hilda and Reneece had already launched their most powerful attacks.
At the same time, Cao Xing began to summon two frost elves and commanded: "Andrew, be ready to replace Braum at any time!"
"Mu Xue, refresh Braum's Divine Shield."
"Pay attention to their bleeding status and cast purification and holy healing spells at any time."
After the shield is destroyed, it takes 60 seconds to gather.
At this time, Liu Muxue can release another Aurora Holy Shield to directly refresh the 3-layer shield again.
This is also a mechanism discovered by Cao Xing by chance.
Liu Muxue nodded, then raised her sword and added a new holy shield to Braum.
Then, she noticed that Assam's health had dropped to 80%, and without hesitation, she cast the [Holy Healing Technique].
【+374】
【+75】
Holy Healing Technique has a 30-second cooldown, while Cao Xing's Ice Healing Technique can restore more than 2,000 HP in 30 seconds.
In addition, Assam also has the [Secret of Life (Small)].
This is equivalent to restoring at least 3,000 HP in 30 seconds.
At the same time.
Hilda flicked her belly, and a large number of blood spiders quickly hatched.
Then, she licked her lips and said, "Go, my children, let them have a taste of the blood spider clan~"
All the blood spiders rushed forward and began to self-destruct crazily.
Not only that, Hilda also began to spray large amounts of blood poison, covering all the entrances to the passage.
The blood poison levels of those soul-eating monsters began to rise rapidly.
After a while, the maximum number of layers was reached, 10.
When the blood poison reaches 10 layers, they will suffer 100% of Hilda's attack damage every second.
In an instant, large numbers of casualties appeared.
【-331】
【-334】
【-346】
【-314】
…
At the same time, after suffering damage 6 times, Braum's [Ice Veins] erupted.
Combined with [Frost Shield], a terrifying cold air swept through in an instant!
The four Soul Eaters that attacked them at the door were all frozen into ice sculptures.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone started to output continuously.
Swish! Swish!
Attacks came one after another.
At the same time.
Renis focused her gaze, aimed it at the eyes of one of the Soul Eaters, and shot a wind-chasing arrow towards it.
【-747! 】
A damage number nearly broke a thousand.
After the system is updated, hitting the vital points will cause additional damage, plus a critical hit effect.
This was the highest amount of damage she had ever dealt.
The Soul Eater's health dropped to zero, and its body, which had been frozen into an ice sculpture, shattered directly, then turned into a pile of ice blocks that scattered all over the ground.
[Your territory member: Renis Eagle Eyes killed Soul Eater lv27, and gained experience points: 540]
[Experience points gained by combatants: 270]
Immediately afterwards, the health of the other three frozen Soul Eaters also returned to zero at the same time.
Three system prompts appear.
A white light appeared on Renee's body.
[Your territory member: Renis's experience level has been upgraded, current level: Level 16. ]
Cao Xing was delighted, "Great, Renis has also been upgraded!"
The battle gradually returned to normal.
A minute later, seven more Soul Eaters fell at the door.
Cao Xing also noticed that Braum's health had dropped to 50%.
He is just an ordinary-level hero, with much less health and armor than Assam.
Being able to surpass more than ten levels and withstand so many soul-eating monsters is already amazing.
So, Cao Xing gave the order directly: "Bron, retreat and wait for the shield to recover."
"Andrew, take over Braum's position."
Braum obeyed the order and retreated directly.
Andrew turned into a huge white bear and rushed over, taking Braum's place.
The Soul-Eating Monster, which was about to rush forward, was blocked again.
Andrew, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up like a mad bear, and then swung his huge bear paws wildly.
“Puff! Puff!”
One Soul Eater after another was slapped away by the frantic Andrew.
"roar!!!"
Andrew let out a deafening roar!
…
