"Combat mode activated!"
The last time the Holy Spirit Beast roasted meat gave him a huge amount of physical energy, enough for him to squander.
Due to its injuries and the combined effects of the Falling Snow Veil, the Black Horned Boar was not as fast as before. Jiang Yuan and the Black Horned Boar arrived in front of Ning Yanlan almost at the same time.
"Shield Bash!" Jiang Yuan raised his shield with practiced ease.
"Spirit Shield!"
Ning Yanlan wore a happy expression, then shielded the man who stood resolutely in front of her.
"clang!"
Jiang Yuan felt as if his brain had turned into a lump of mush, and this was only with the spiritual light shield as a buffer. If it had crashed directly into him, it would have been terrible. Only now did he realize how terrifying Xiong Yong's defense was. It would be no easy task to withstand it.
After the impact, Jiang Yuan threw down his shield, drew his folding iron sword, and slashed out, "Mountain-Splitting Second Form!"
"Ice Shard!" Ning Yanlan also fired a cone-shaped ice shard at the head of the black-horned boar.
The folding iron knife entered the black-horned boar's body first, while the ice shards caused the greatest damage, with ice blocks shooting into the boar's brain and freezing its skull.
"Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan paused and looked at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan understood immediately, drew his folding iron knife, and stabbed it into the wound caused by the ice shard. With just one stab, the black-horned boar collapsed to the ground, and a core radiating golden light appeared.
"Captain, run! There are black-horned boars outside!"
At that moment, a faint, dying voice rang out from the ground.
Upon closer inspection, the group recognized Yang Wenlin, who had been sent flying earlier. He was still alive, but both his arms had suffered multiple comminuted fractures.
"What happened?"
Because the fifth-tier lord-level Black Horned Boar died, Zhu Penghai wasn't too worried.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
An unusually piercing squeal rang out from outside the mine, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically. The sound was so terrifying that it intimidated everyone, including Jiang Yuan.
"Sixth rank?" Zhu Penghai's expression was extremely ugly.
"The outside is covered in monster blood!"
At this moment, Xiang Yeyun also limped back. She was saved by Yang Wenlin blocking her way, and with Ning Yanlan's support from behind, both of them survived.
"It's Ji Jinghui and his gang's doing!" Jiang Yuan said, knowing exactly what was going on without even guessing. "Logically, after so much time, they should have dealt with a lord-level black-horned boar by now, given their familiarity with the terrain. But they haven't shown up yet; instead, an even stronger sixth-tier monster has appeared!"
"The monster has come in!" Ning Yanlan was on high alert, but this time she shielded Xiao Xin and Jiang Yuan behind her.
"Use the gun!" Jiang Yuan tossed the shield back to Xiong Yong, then took out the gun he had been assigned earlier.
At this point, it's not about whether or not the core is available, but about survival. A sixth-tier monster has at least sixty-four energy points, which is not something a few people can withstand.
"Yes, yes!"
Suddenly, a large number of black-horned boars poured into the cave, and the group was shocked to see such a dark mass.
"Back off! Back inside!" Zhu Penghai shouted.
Without him even having to shout, Jiang Yuan led Ning Yanlan and Xiao Xin, Zhu Penghai supported Yang Wenlin, and Xiong Yong led Qian Kai and Xiang Yeyun, rushing inside.
"Sister, I'm scared!" Xiao Xin whispered, hiding in Ning Yanlan's arms.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Xin, your older brother and sister will protect you!" Ning Yanlan comforted her.
Jiang Yuan frowned. The worst thing about this kind of place was being attacked from both inside and outside. There were still a lot of black-horned pigs in the mine, and now a large number of black-horned pigs were pouring in from outside. This was a recipe for exhaustion.
Moreover, that sixth-tier black-horned boar was clearly smarter than the previous two lord-level boars. Instead of showing itself, it let the other black-horned boars go first, which undoubtedly left Jiang Yuan and the others helpless.
Gunshots rang out continuously, but the enraged black-horned boars were not afraid of pain at all. It would be impossible to kill a black-horned boar without taking three or five shots.
"Save some bullets for those level six enemies, wounded retreat, we'll hold them off!"
The group finally found a mine that seemed safe, but it wasn't necessarily safe, because there were swarms of black-horned boars behind it.
"You guys defend, don't let the Black Horned Boar disrupt your formation!" Jiang Yuan stopped Zhu Penghai, then looked at Ning Yanlan and said, "From now on, just give me a shield, don't use any other attacks. Only you can kill that Tier 6 Black Horned Boar, so you must maintain your perfect condition!"
“Jiang Yuan!” Ning Yanlan frowned.
"You all stay here and recover. I'll take care of these ordinary black-horned boars. You can fight to the death when they reach level six!" Jiang Yuan walked out alone.
If everyone fights these Black Horned Boars head-on, who will deal with the final Tier 6 Black Horned Boars? He doesn't think a pistol would be of any use here!
As for grenades and explosives? They're for killing monsters, not for committing suicide! Using these things could cause the mine to collapse at any time, and then we'd all die together.
