The next second, several extremely piercing screams came from the darkness.
The sound reached everyone's ears, and everyone felt as if their brains were being pricked by countless needles.
He was instantly overwhelmed by pain and collapsed to the ground, clutching his head and rolling around on the floor.
……………………………………………
"Shut up, all of you!!"
With a furious shout, Han Xue'er endured the stinging pain in her mind.
He gripped the greatsword tightly in both hands, raised it high, and slammed it down hard onto the ground!
"BOOM!!! BOOM...BOOM...BOOM..."!
A deafening roar resounded as the giant sword collided with the ground.
A powerful shockwave erupted from the center of the giant sword. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and dust billowed up wherever the shockwave passed.
Immediately afterwards, countless enormous blue ice spikes burst forth from the ground. Each of these ice spikes was several meters tall, shimmering with a chilling light.
They spread rapidly forward in a fan shape, carrying a fierce momentum and deadly damage.
Wherever the ice spikes passed, they instantly pierced through the walls of all the houses, leaving huge holes and cracks all over the walls.
"Kaiser, protect everyone!"
Han Xueer shouted behind her, and a young man holding a large black shield immediately rushed to the front of the group.
"Shield Wall!"
With a roar, Kaiser slammed his large black shield into the ground.
The next second, a thick wall suddenly rose from the ground and blocked everyone's way.
"Ice Blast!"
Han Xueer slammed the greatsword in her hand into the ground, and a light blue shield immediately appeared around her.
The blue ice spikes ahead suddenly flashed with a dazzling blue light, and then...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
One blue ice spike after another exploded, the energy accumulated inside them like bombs, instantly shattering the surrounding room walls.
The ice fragments from the explosion shot out like bullets, embedding themselves deeply into the walls.
The white smoke from the exploding ice spikes drifted through the air, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.
The piercing screams that had been incessant stopped abruptly shortly after Han Xueer launched her attack.
The entire space fell silent once again, with only the continuous groans of the people lying on the ground.
"Splash, splash..."
The thick wall slowly collapsed and disappeared, revealing the figures of the people behind it. There were also others struggling to get up from the ground and fleeing towards the stairwell.
The weakest are the most affected; aside from the students of Liuguang Academy, there are hardly any people left standing on the field.
"Quick! Everyone, take the wounded and retreat. I must have driven the monsters back. Let's get out of here now."
Han Xueer spoke as she ran, quickly arriving in front of the group.
After continuously unleashing skills for so long, she could clearly feel the fatigue in her body.
We must retreat immediately to replenish our strength, otherwise we will have a hard time resisting a large-scale attack from the monsters.
But Xiao Juan, standing next to her, pointed forward with a look of terror on her face, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"Sister Xue... Sister Xue, they weren't driven back, on the contrary... on the contrary, even more of them have gathered!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xue'er was startled and immediately gripped her sword with both hands, maintaining an attack stance, her eyes fixed on the front.
Ahead lay a vast expanse of houses and walls, long since collapsed into ruins. But compared to the entire area, the damage to these buildings was negligible.
"Crack... Splash..."
A series of sounds came from under the collapsed building bricks and tiles, as if something was crawling out from inside.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, black figures emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
They were a group of humanoid monsters, whose black mist had solidified into a black shell that tightly wrapped around their bodies.
However, as they moved, these black shells peeled off bit by bit, like broken porcelain.
The monster hidden beneath its black shell is gradually revealing its true form.
It was a humanoid monster that stood a full two meters tall, and its appearance was very similar to a scarecrow.
Their bodies were entirely woven from straw, and they were covered with a set of extremely tattered linen clothes. Through the holes in the clothes, a faint yellow light could be seen emanating from their chests.
In addition, their bodies were densely covered with sharp, irregular, rusty iron plates. Each plate was a different length, as if they were wearing a suit of spiked armor.
His arms were extremely long, almost two-thirds the length of his body, and he held two rusty machetes tightly in his hands.
As they walk on the ground, the machetes drag along the earth, producing a chilling sound, like the wailing of death, sending shivers down one's spine.
The number of Ghostly Scythe-Rotting Grass Men is increasing, and they are climbing out of the ruins one after another.
Not only that, but some shadowy figures that looked exactly like them slowly emerged from the darkness of the adjacent building.
A pair of scarlet, menacing eyes protruded from a head woven from straw. They were staring intently at everyone, their gazes seeming to want to devour them alive.
...
"A...A-rank! Holy crap, all the monsters on this sixth floor are A-rank, and there are so many of them!"
