The entire club reeked of decay, a stark contrast to its appearance the last time I visited.
Dugu Xing was surrounded by his guards, looking at his surroundings and thinking.
It was probably the smell emanating from the club member who was killed the day before yesterday; I never thought I would come back again.
Having thought this through, he had no doubts and followed the pursuer forward.
The club was quite large, and everyone dispersed to search for clues.
Before long, the club was explored, and everyone gathered together shaking their heads, clearly not inside.
The tracker led everyone forward, his expression turning serious as he looked at the surrounding environment.
As he walked toward the back gate, he saw a half-bloody handprint left on the edge of a door, and suddenly alarm bells went off in his mind.
Seeing the pursuer stop, Dugu Xing quickly stepped forward. Before he could speak, he saw the pursuer pointing to the bloody handprint in front of the door: "This handprint belongs to Xiao Jia. His right index finger was cut off in a previous battle, so I remember it very clearly."
"He must have encountered danger inside and didn't have time to escape."
"His opponent is very skilled, otherwise he could have handled it." The tracker was Xiao Jia's friend, and he knew how skilled Xiao Jia was.
Dugu Xing pondered for a moment, then took out his walkie-talkie and provided information to the people at the back door, telling them to be careful.
After this reasoning was explained, everyone's expressions turned serious.
The pursuer ahead carefully pushed open the spring-loaded door.
With a creak, the sound was extremely jarring in the empty courtyard.
As everyone entered the courtyard, the scene in the backyard surprised even Dugu Xing, who had been there before.
In just one day, this once tranquil courtyard has been completely destroyed, replaced by various ruins.
Bloodstains were left on the ground, but surprisingly, all the corpses on the ground had disappeared.
The scouts said no one had come here, so it couldn't have been Meng Ziyi who buried him. This is a project that one person simply couldn't complete, at least not yet.
Could it be the thick fog from yesterday?
But will dense fog have an impact on the environment?
Impossible. I checked when I went back, and the facilities in the camp had not been damaged.
It's also possible that a group of carrion-eating beasts wandered in; if that's the case, then everything makes sense.
Just as he picked up the walkie-talkie to communicate with the people in the back row, the ground shook.
Then a huge and bloated fat man walked out from the other end of the courtyard.
Its eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty red light, and before anyone could recover from their surprise, it swung its hand and grabbed at the person in the lead.
The strange man's arm stretched forward rapidly, becoming longer and longer as if it were a rubber man.
The pursuer in front was caught off guard and had his shoulders pierced by the monster's arm, causing blood to gush out.
The people around him gradually recovered from their shock. Some drew their weapons and slashed at the monster's arm, while others tried to rescue him from the monster's clutches.
Their intentions were good, but the weapon that struck the monster's arm was like striking steel, sending sparks flying. The man almost lost his grip on the weapon, but he quickly grabbed it with both hands to prevent it from flying away.
The others were helping the pursuer, trying to forcefully remove him from the monster's arm, but then the monster's arm began to retract. The pursuer, with injuries to both shoulders, was unable to exert any strength and could only shout, "Help...help..."
But before he could finish speaking, the monster broke free from everyone's grasp, pulled his arm back, and dragged the pursuer back to the other side of the backyard.
Then came the sound of flesh being torn apart, along with the mournful cry of the pursuer.
The sound of the monster chewing sent a chill down everyone's spine, leaving them somewhat at a loss.
Before the war even officially started, casualties had already begun on this side.
Upon closer inspection, Liu Nian realized that the monster's shape and appearance were strikingly similar to the Flesh Stitcher from a game he used to play, commonly known as the Abomination.
Legend has it that they were pieced together by necromancers using alchemy, but Liu Nian doesn't know if this legend still holds true here.
Dugu Xing was the first to regain consciousness and ordered the shield guards to go and meet the enemy.
"The attack from Abomination just now seems to ignore defenses, everyone be careful."
"We can't see any information about this monster," one of the hunters in the team said.
Will that skill only forcibly pull the first target it encounters?
After all, it's easy for it to ignore defenses and pierce through several bodies.
Liu Nian, guessing the strength of its skills, hid behind a pillar and used information gathering on it.
[Abomination] (Level 20 Mutant Boss)
Attack power: 30-50
Defense: 20-25
Health Points: 2000
Skill:? ?
"This is a level 20 mutated boss, its attack power..." Liu Nian explained the information he had discovered.
Everyone was surprised by Liu Nian's strength, but then they were overjoyed. He was on their side, and the stronger he was, the better.
When they were close enough, Liu Nian stopped and applied the Curse Damage Amplification and Disintegration Ray to it.
The slowing effect is ineffective against it, so you still need to be careful with your positioning.
Based on his guess, Liu Nian summoned the skeleton warrior, which stood in front of him.
The rest of the men stood in scattered positions, waiting for the shield guards to engage the enemy.
The Shield Guard walked across the courtyard and forward, while the Abomination threw away the Tracker's severed limbs and strode toward the Shield Guard.
The people at the back gate also entered through the side gate of the backyard at this time, and they learned about the situation in the yard through the walkie-talkie.
The Abomination and the Shieldbearer collided quickly, with the Abomination swinging its bloodied arm and slamming it heavily towards the Shieldbearer.
The shield guard immediately adjusted his posture and raised his shield to block.
Two loud crashes rang out, and the shield guard's feet were almost buried in the ground as he was hit, staggering back several steps.
"Defensive stance." After regaining his footing, the Shield Guard shouted, and a shield-shaped phantom flashed overhead.
The Abomination launched a series of attacks, but this time all of them were blocked by the Shield Guard.
The shield guards merely swayed slightly, and the scene was nowhere near as alarming as it had been moments before.
The healer cast a slow-recovery healing spell on the shieldbearer.
It can slowly restore the target's health in a short period of time, and the aggro value is extremely low, so it will not affect the shield guard's subsequent kiting.
Seeing this, Dugu Xing felt relieved and used the walkie-talkie to give the signal to attack.
There were about twenty people in total.
After yesterday's great battle, aside from the injured and the guards maintaining order, this was the limit of what he could currently muster, which is why he asked Liu Nian to come and keep order.
Of all the people he has met so far, only Liu Nian is capable of undertaking this important task.
Of course, he hadn't told anyone before he came. Two groups of people were killed silently in succession, and he had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen.
Sure enough, he guessed right; there was a powerful wild boss here.
Although he didn't know that the monster was Meng Ziyi, who cared? Maybe Meng Ziyi was eaten by this monster.
His efforts paid off; he made the right bet!
There are about ten melee units, and five ranged and five healing units.
This time, the team consists of elites, and Dugu Xing is confident that he can take down this boss.
Just then, the melee classes took their positions, surrounding the Abominations.
The conquest battle has officially begun!
