From the rose bushes that kept crawling closer, swaying refugees emerged from the shadows one after another. They had exposed bones, empty eyeballs, and rotten lips covered with flesh-colored tentacles that wriggled like vine stems and leaves, dragging themselves into the mud and connecting with the swaying rose roots. This group of refugees was like a group of unknown swamp squids, dragging their tentacles in the mud with their hands towards Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi on the shore.

The lush tentacles were like a fishing bowl filled with earthworms and fish bait, overflowing from the edge of the field. A tentacle as thick as a horsetail suddenly emerged from the ground, twisted and wrapped around Bai Liu's ankle, trying to pull him into the mud.

Bai Liu quickly swung out the fish bone and whipped away the strangely twisting tentacle.

Liu Jiayi also used the poison smoke to corrode a tentacle that was trying to wrap around her waist.

After being attacked by the monster, Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu activated the monster book at the same time.

After Bai Liu quickly read through the information about the refugees in the monster book, he calmly gave an order: "Liu Jiayi, use the poison mist to attack the group. Attack the group with the largest range. I will clean up the ones that are missed by the group attack."

"Is this monster A+? It's an A+ monster that appears in groups." Liu Jiayi's face became uglier. She looked around quickly. The poison smoke formed a circle around her and Bai Liu to prevent the tentacles from getting close. "They don't appear alone, but fight together. They look like individuals, but they are all connected together by tentacles underground. They are a symbiotic organism of a bunch of roses."

Without any way to restore their spirit points, fighting against monsters that could not be completely killed was a matter of attrition. It was obvious that they could not outlast these monsters that grew in clusters, so defeat was only a matter of time.

But Liu Jiayi did not question Bai Liu's decision, but executed it decisively.

Liu Jiayi took a deep breath: "OK, what should I pay attention to as the main attacker?"

Bai Liu whipped a monster that had climbed onto the shore and threw it back into the field. He turned his head and looked at Liu Jiayi: "Delay for time. Your skill cooldown is one hour. If it takes one hour, we win. And during this one hour, you have to control the amount of poison you use."

"How much can it be controlled?" Liu Jiayi asked.

Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at the overwhelming rose refugees. He spoke gently, "Control them until you can hold back all the refugees attracted by the scent for more than an hour. When your skill cooldown ends, I will try my best to control them in a small space, and then use explosive skills to let your poison exert its maximum attack effect."

Liu Jiayi was stunned for only a moment, and she quickly understood what Bai Liu wanted to do. Her expression changed several times, and finally settled on a kind of relieved and reserved expression: "Of course."

"My poison is truly incurable to A+ monsters."

The wriggling tentacles kept tumbling in the rose pond. Bai Liu stood on the edge, using the ridge as the last line of defense. He put a sack of roses on his waist as bait, and used a whip to fan the refugees and tentacles that climbed ashore back to a fixed place - luring and beating at the same time, trying to drive the refugees to gather in a fixed space.

Liu Jiayi protected Bai Liu tightly. Apart from the fact that Bai Liu's physical strength was quickly consumed by the whip and he kept drinking physical recovery potions which made cold sweat ooze out of his face, he was hardly caught by the refugees or tentacles afterwards. But when he was caught at the beginning, some of Bai Liu's spirit and health points were eaten away, which made the rose in his eyes even more charming and the black cracks on his face became much deeper.

Normally, it is impossible for Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi to hold out for an hour against a large number of A+ monsters - their skills have a CD, and both Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu have limited damage to this endless stream of monsters, especially Bai Liu. His whip can only drive these monsters away but cannot cause any damage to them.

But Bai Liu's main purpose was not to fight against this group of Type A monsters. He just wanted to drive them down and prevent them from climbing up.

This very simple "duck chasing" game can be played for an hour with the abilities of Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi, provided that Bai Liu makes no mistakes and finishes perfectly.

But what followed was a terrifying black mass of refugees piling up at the bottom of the field - among them were not only those who had been chased down by Bai Liu, but also those who had followed behind.

Dense tentacles rolled in the velvety red mud, like boiling water or the villi of small intestines digesting food. Human faces and broken and rotten skeletons and limbs flowed and howled in the rolling red mud waves, but the roses swayed safely in it, without any damage - these refugees seemed to intentionally protect these roses that had not yet been picked.

After walking a distance away from the flower fields, without the strong fragrance of roses to cover the air, the piled-up refugees and the tentacles growing on their bodies were stinking all over the sky, and countless tentacles grabbed the mud on the shore in an attempt to get ashore.

Facing this high density of tentacles, Bai Liu's whip almost left a white afterimage.

In his mouth was a bottle of high-level stamina recovery agent that he had snatched from Mu Sicheng's panel. He swallowed it to replenish his stamina while swinging the whip to consume a lot of it.

Bai Liu has been performing this kind of pure, high-precision mechanical movement for almost forty minutes.

Sweat slid down Bai Liu's hair and dripped onto his already completely wet work jacket. He now looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

Liu Jiayi's poison was almost used up. Her panel was higher than Bai Liu's, but she had used her skills with high precision and intensity for a full hour to protect herself and Bai Liu. Now she was gritting her teeth and holding on.

However, despite the hard work of Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi, the "audience" in front of the screen - or rather, the players of the King's Guild who were besieging Bai Liu in front of the screen - were not very enthusiastic.

Most of those who were brought by Hong Tao to surround Bai Liu's TV station were grassroots and middle-level players of the guild. This group of people rose to the top by fighting among the grassroots. What they disliked most was new players like Bai Liu who had potential, did not follow the beaten path, and were about to soar to the sky.

In addition to the clear hostile stance that Hong Tao had already put out, and the fact that the entire place was filled with people from their King's Guild, their comments or sarcasms towards Bai Liu Xiaodian were certainly not very pleasant to hear.

Some players from the King's Guild standing behind the small TV watched Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi engage in this "powerless" and "meaningless" resistance that could only delay time, and they all laughed at them:

"You're still trying to delay time in a level three game? Are you afraid of being reincarnated too late? The reason this person was able to make it to the King Ranking last time was purely because of the popularity given by the witch."

"Based on the monster settings of this game, we should hunt monsters to get roses. The other four have already started hunting monsters, but Bai Liu's group has made no progress at all." An audience member pointed at the small TV next to Bai Liu and said, "What kind of hunter is that small TV? I have never seen it, but I heard that it is the reinforcements called by our queen. They look very powerful and have already started a large-scale counterattack."

The small TV next to Bai Liu is Tang Erda's small TV. On the screen, Tang Erda's right face is covered in blood. His pair of faint blue eyes with floating roses shine like a ghost of underworld fire in the bright red mud and sea of ​​flowers. He holds a silver revolver in his right hand. The rose engraved on the butt has been soaked in blood and turned into a deep red "dry leaf rose".

Tang Erda's body was covered with twisting and twitching tentacles, as well as refugees who had been killed. Silver gun shells were scattered all over the ground around Tang Erda.

Under the radiant full moon, the hunter with deep blue eyes gripped his gun tightly and kept shooting around the flower field, brutally and accurately killing the monsters that tried to approach him and steal the roses he was guarding. He was intoxicated by the blood of slaughter and uncontrolled desire, and felt like he was going to transform into a werewolf at any time.

After another round of shooting, Tang Erdaban lowered his head and gasped, blood dripping from his arms and clothes. He expressionlessly kicked away the tentacles hanging on his feet and quickly bit the bandage to treat the bleeding wound on his palm - he did not treat the wounds elsewhere, but if the wound in this place bleeds, it will make his palm slippery and affect his feel when holding the gun and shooting.

After treating the wound, Tang Erda continued to load bullets into the pistol one by one with a grim expression.

The bodies of the refugees who died all around Tang Erda had piled up into a small hill that almost submerged him. The roses that these refugees had stolen fell after they died, and the top of the hill of corpses fell down like curled willow catkins.

The audience watching the small TV at Tang Erda's place could only stare in amazement as this completely unfamiliar face was blocked by the reward interface that kept popping up:

[System prompt: Congratulations to player Tang Er for killing a monster refugee. The refugee has stolen 1.5kg of dried roses, which are now your spoils.]

[System prompt: Congratulations to player Tang Er for killing a monster refugee. The refugee has stolen 11kg of dried rose leaves...]

When Tang Er raised his blood-stained, emotionless, and defocused eyes, aimed at the small TV, raised his gun and pulled the trigger, even though they knew that Tang Er was shooting at the monsters in the attack game, the audience in front of the small TV subconsciously took a step back.

The very direct and strong force suppression and the creepy aggressiveness that Tang Erda brought made the audience standing in front of Tang Erda's small TV swallow their saliva involuntarily. They didn't even dare to discuss loudly, and they were all whispering:

"…Who is this guy?! From the first shot to the last, a reward screen popped up for almost every shot he fired. Each shot could kill an A+ level monster. The skill attack value of a single shot must be over 6,000, and there is no obvious cooldown time for the skill. How come I have never heard of this player?! This shouldn't be the case!"

"A person can suppress a group attack line with a strong attack in a level 3 game... This is the strength of the top league players... Too scary, does the King's Guild still have such a card hidden this year?!"
