[Ding, the third wave of monsters is being released... Successfully released]
At three o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden huge noise outside No. 1111 of the Novice Village. Countless monsters that seemed to have fallen from the sky instantly filled the space outside the village, and all kinds of roars continued.
With red eyes, they rushed towards the village without hesitation and launched an attack directly.
After the monsters appeared, the patrol officer blew the whistle immediately. The alarm sounded through the sky and startled everyone.
"The monster wave is coming! Everyone, get up!"
"Woo woo woo, Mom, I'm scared."
"Old people and children, all hide in the shelters we dug earlier. Young people, take up arms and join me in resisting the monster tide!"
All the equipment forged in the blacksmith shop was distributed. Those who had no equipment simply picked up the kitchen knives, sickles, and hoes at home, suppressed their fear and ran to the village entrance to join the battle.
As soon as the villagers arrived at the village entrance, they were almost scared to death by the surging army of monsters, and their legs were shaking constantly.
Fortunately, the two traps they had dug earlier acted as a buffer, and almost all the monsters in the first wave of attack fell into them.
The monster's shrill howling coupled with its densely packed scarlet eyes made it even more eerie and terrifying in the thick of night.
Most of the villagers were so frightened that they couldn't even hold on to the things in their hands.
Captain Wang of the patrol team brandished a C-level eyebrow-tipped knife and led the patrol team members to block the village entrance to fight. In an instant, swords and sabers flashed and flashed, and the corpses of monsters below level 10 suddenly spread out in a large area.
The average level of the patrol team members is around level 12, and Captain Wang is level 15, which is about to reach the maximum experience value, so it is natural for him to deal with monsters below level 10.
Seeing the patrol team charging forward bravely, the villagers gritted their teeth and followed them, raising their weapons to deal with the torrent of monsters in front of them.
In less than half an hour, two traps that were two or three meters deep were filled with the corpses of monsters. However, more fearless monsters came up from behind. After the monsters, there were elite monsters of higher levels and a level 20 BOSS.
Under the endless attacks of the monsters, the villagers and patrolmen gradually exhausted their physical strength, and some were even injured by the various skills of the monsters.
Even the patrol team with high combat power had many people injured and unable to fight.
When some people were injured and retreated, those who stayed behind to continue fighting monsters suddenly felt a surge of pressure. They were even more stretched as they had consumed a huge amount of physical energy. More people were injured, forming a vicious cycle.
Village Chief Wang was so anxious that he spat out blood again. He covered the wound where the chief officer had kicked him and said in a hoarse voice, "Everyone, retreat to the center of the village. Activate the village protection formation immediately!"
The village protection formation mentioned by Village Chief Wang is only the lowest level of protection formation, which can only protect an area of 100 meters in radius. Moreover, its defense power is limited and it cannot withstand the tide of monsters at all.
But now more and more people are injured, and the number of monsters still shows no sign of decreasing. If this goes on any longer, everyone will be doomed!
Hearing Village Chief Wang's order, everyone fought and retreated, finally converging at the designated location. The next second, a faint yellow light lit up, and the village protection formation was activated!
With this extra layer of defense, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took the time to rest.
The people in the protective array were like sweet cakes, attracting the monsters to attack continuously with red eyes. All their attacks fell on the protective array. In less than ten minutes, cracks appeared on it.
Moreover, the cracks are getting bigger and more dense. If this continues, this protective formation will be completely destroyed in less than two or three minutes!
Once the protective formation is broken, they will be immediately overwhelmed by the tide of monsters and there will be no possibility of survival.
"No, we can't just sit there and wait, or we'll all die!"
Captain Wang gritted his teeth and stared at the monster tide with red eyes. Suddenly, his sight was slightly stunned and he caught a scene that was difficult for him to understand.
Is that the BOSS?
Wait, why aren't its eyes red? What is it doing? Are the tentacles on its head controlling the monsters?
Captain Wang hurriedly asked a team member with basic detection skills to check the situation of the BOSS.
"Captain, this rat monster boss does have intermediate control skills and can control tens of thousands of low-level monsters at the same time!"
Captain Wang glanced at the increasingly cracked protective formation, his expression resolute. "I'm going to go out and kill this boss. Once those monsters are no longer under control, they'll naturally disperse, greatly relieving the pressure on the village."
The monsters in the controlled state are not afraid of death at all and only want to kill people. After the controlled state is released, they will definitely not be like now.
Village Chief Wang: "But you are five levels lower than it. Going out there is just asking for death!"
"Wang" is a common surname in the village, and many people with the surname Wang are related to each other. Strictly speaking, Captain Wang can be regarded as the cousin of Village Chief Wang.
How could Village Chief Wang bear to see his own cousin go to die?
Captain Wang said with a firm expression: "I am the captain of the patrol team and the highest-ranking person here. If I don't go, who will?" He had just reached level 16 in battle.
After saying that, he picked up the eyebrow knife in his hand and was about to walk out.
Countless villagers had red eyes and their throats were extremely dry.
"Wait, Captain, I'll go with you!"
"Yes, and me."
"I'm going too! Captain, don't refuse. We can help you contain the other monsters. Otherwise, you won't even be able to get close to the boss, and going out will just be a waste of your life."
Captain Wang heard this, and the words of refusal were stuck in his chest. Finally, he sighed and patted their shoulders one by one, "Let's go."
Captain Wang led the ten team members who followed him closely, like a sharp knife piercing the enemy's heart... @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature T City
After fighting hard for a minute, the eleven people supported each other and retreated back to the protective formation. Seven of them were seriously injured and could no longer move.
Including the five or six team members who were injured before, there are only four patrol members left who can still stand up and kill monsters.
Their sharp knife action only advanced less than three meters...
It is at least a hundred meters away from the location of the BOSS.
A deep sense of despair gripped everyone's neck, making it difficult to breathe.
In this suffocating atmosphere, I don't know who started crying first, and the intermittent sobs turned into loud crying in an instant.
The desperate cries and the excited monsters were separated by only a thin layer of yellow that could burst at any time. Almost everyone thought that they were going to die this time and the village would be destroyed soon.
Suddenly, Qian Chunsheng, who had been busy taking care of the wounded with the shop owner, slapped his forehead and took out the storage ring that Yan Yu had given him before leaving.
He was so busy that he forgot about this matter, and he didn't think Yan Yu would leave him anything good.
Just because Blacksmith Wang had betrayed her and pushed her into the fire pit, she had no reason to help them anymore. Even helping them rescue Blacksmith Li before leaving was already a very kind act.
Qian Chunsheng shook his head and probed his consciousness into the storage ring.
“!”
His eyes widened, his mouth opened into a big "O", and his whole expression was stupid, like a frog that saw a mosquito bigger than its head, surprised and happy at the same time.
Captain Wang on the other side was about to go out again to "die" with the only three remaining team members.
Qian Chunsheng quickly stood up and ran over to them, stumbling a bit in excitement. "Wait, Captain Wang! I have some new equipment that Master Yan left for us!"
New equipment? Master Yan left it behind?
It was estimated that there were only a few D-level equipment, and at most one or two C-level equipment. Yan Yu's talent as a blacksmith was no secret in the village. Everyone knew that she was a D-level blacksmith, and there was only a 1% chance of producing a C-level equipment.
The C-level eyebrow-tipped knife in Captain Wang's hand was forged by Yan Yu during the day.
"No, no." Qian Chunsheng knew they had misunderstood after seeing everyone's expressions, so he simply poured out everything in the ring and said, "See for yourselves!"
With a "bang", fifty pieces of equipment fell to the ground, stirring up layers of dust, but it could not conceal their brilliance.
Those with equipment identification and detection skills exclaimed in surprise: "These are all C-level and B-level equipment!"
"Oh my god, so many high-level equipment! Armor, eyebrow-tipped knives, boots, daggers, all given to us by Master Yan!?"
"Captain Wang, quickly put on these equipment! B-level equipment has a lot of bonuses. We'll definitely be able to kill that damned BOSS this time!"
Stimulated by the fifty pieces of high-level equipment, everyone stopped crying and urged Captain Wang to rearm before killing monsters.
Captain Wang did not refuse and immediately put on steel armor, speed boots and a fine eyebrow-tipped knife, which greatly increased his attributes.
The three B-level equipment increased his attack power by 170 points and his defense by 275 points. His strength increased by 160 points, his constitution by 150 points, and his agility by 200 points. Therefore, his current four-dimensional attributes are:
Strength: 120 (+160)
Constitution: 100 (+150)
Agility: 60 (+200)
Spirit: 40
Strength determines attack power, and now with the equipment bonus, his attack power has increased from over 100 to 450 points. Constitution determines defense, and his defense has also increased to 525 points. His speed has increased by more than three times, and his dodge rate has also increased accordingly.
As for the level 20 BOSS, its attributes are as follows:
[Sharp-toothed Rat·Rat King]
Level: 20
Health: 1500/1500
Attack: 520
Defense: 300
Skills: Intermediate Control
Captain Wang was now fully capable of fighting, with a chance of victory exceeding 50%, as long as he could break through the layers of monsters under the Rat King's control and get close to him. With a full 260 points of agility, this problem no longer seemed to be a problem.
The three team members following Captain Wang also upgraded their weapons, and the spearhead squad attacked again.
This time they were like sharp knives, piercing the enemy's heart, and were only a few meters away from the Rat King.
The Rat King was surrounded by numerous elite monsters, around level 10 or higher. Amidst its shrill cries, these monsters quickly devoured the four-man team. Three members risked their lives to protect their captain, quickly racking up fresh wounds. Without their B- or C-grade armor, they would have perished long ago.
Captain Wang moved like the wind. Before the Rat King could react, he quickly circled behind it, raised his weapon and struck it with a knife.
The Rat King failed to dodge in time and was hit by the knife head-on. Blood splattered on his back and he cried out in pain.
It angrily controlled the other elite monsters under its command to besiege Captain Wang, but that damn human was more slippery than a loach and ran very fast. It either could not attack him, or the attacks landed on him but resulted in a big "MISS".
Their attacks missed, but his attacks actually landed on it.
Ahhh, this is really annoying!
No matter how angry the Rat King was, his health points were slowly reduced to "0" by Captain Wang. Finally, he let out a mournful roar and turned into a bronze treasure chest and remained in place.
As soon as the Rat King died, all the monsters that were controlled gradually woke up.
When the villagers saw that the Rat King was dead, they were all shocked. Those who were still able to fight also changed into new equipment and began to actively fight back against the monsters that kept destroying the protective formation.
When the monsters were killed to a certain extent, many of the cowardly guys ran directly into the forest. Some monsters were in chaos without the command of the BOSS, and all became food for the elite monsters or the souls killed by the patrol team.
After nearly an hour, the monsters in the village were finally cleared out. Everyone looked at the morning star rising in the east, their eyes filled with tears of surviving the disaster.
They hugged each other, danced, laughed and cried, and at the same time felt grateful to the young girl in their hearts.
Yan Yu, who was deeply appreciated by the villagers, was awakened by two mechanical sounds.
