Turning from the stairwell into the room corridor can obviously resolve this crisis, but the drawbacks are equally obvious: not knowing the situation in the stairwell can easily lead to being caught in a pincer movement.
Big Black was sent out on patrol to prevent it from being attacked from both sides.
Throughout this time, the Lion Scorpion kept watching from the top of the stairwell without making a sound, seemingly also wary of Liu Nian's strength.
After Dahei relayed a message that the corridor was safe, Liu Nian immediately commanded the skeleton archers to launch a group attack on the lion scorpion.
It also overlooked one thing: Liu Nian's side wasn't entirely composed of melee fighters.
The amplified damage spell is applied to the monster first, followed by the bone arrow hitting its body.
Despite the increased damage and reduced defense, the bone arrows still didn't penetrate deeply into the flesh, demonstrating the monster's astonishing defensive capabilities!
The archers ignored all of this and once again aimed their longbows at the lion scorpion.
Now I'm throwing this problem at the monster. If you don't come down, I'll slowly wear you down. Once you come down, you'll be trapped in an encirclement.
What? You dare to back down? If you dare to back down, I dare to charge. Losing the terrain advantage means we'll be surrounded and annihilated sooner or later.
And if I cheat a little, I'll just run away after I draw the prize, then what am I supposed to protect?
The monster looked confused, unsure of what to do next.
Liu Nian unleashed a slowing spell first, while Tiffany simultaneously and in perfect unison used her poison.
It's a monster, not an undead unit, so it got hit again.
Sensing the threat posed by the magician, it finally broke its silence and pounced towards Liu Nian like a tiger descending a mountain.
With a powerful leap, it jumped over the skeleton warrior blocking the corridor.
Upon landing, the skeleton, which had no time to dodge, was crushed beneath him, sending bone fragments flying everywhere.
Once it had a firm footing, it swung its whip-like tail at the summoned creature standing in front of it.
Unable to organize a defense, the skeleton warriors were struck by the scorpion's tail, and the powerful force sent them flying to one side.
After waiting for a long time, they still didn't stand up. The summoned creatures, stung by the scorpion's tail, remained motionless like wooden figures.
Liu Nian carefully observed the state of the summoned creatures and found that they were completely paralyzed.
He was shocked to see this; these were undead units, yet they could be paralyzed.
This scorpion's tail is poisonous, extremely poisonous! Be careful!!
Lion Scorpion, indeed possessing both the strength of a lion and the ruthlessness of a scorpion.
But at the same time, it is also passively surrounded by summoned creatures.
In the chaos of battle, the skeleton archers were left to do nothing, while the zombies protected Liu Nian and slowly retreated.
The mage unit should stay as far away from this lion-scorpion as possible.
The lion scorpion tried to use the same trick again, but this time its opponent was the Black Knight, and its tail was blocked by the Black Knight's longsword, so it failed.
When one plan failed, it devised another, only to be entangled in mid-air by vampires when it tried to break free of the encirclement.
Taking advantage of the situation, Tiffany used fatigue magic to further accelerate its energy depletion.
Taking advantage of its flying unit, the vampire stood on the manticore's back and swung its claws down at its head.
The lion scorpion's limbs couldn't reach its back, and it couldn't gain any leverage while in mid-air.
He was thinking of using his tail to retaliate against the vampire, but the Black Knight blocked his tail with his greatsword, leaving him no choice but to take the vampire's attack with the top of his head.
Her seemingly delicate hands left five bloody scratches on the lion scorpion's head and also plucked a small tuft of its fur.
The lion scorpion was both shocked and furious. It suddenly pounced on the spot, trying to drive the vampire off its back.
The several skeleton warriors who were attacking it did not expect it to use this move, and were knocked away by its huge body.
The black-clad warrior stood in front of Liu Nian, not daring to go up and stop him for a moment.
The vampire on the lion's back was like a small boat bobbing on a vast ocean, constantly in danger of being destroyed.
But the vampire seemed completely unfazed, as if he were playing a game. He even seemed to think that the speed wasn't fast enough, so he slapped the manticore on the forehead again.
The manticore was tormented by the vampire to the point of exhaustion, and its stamina was rapidly depleting under the influence of fatigue magic.
The Black Knight seized the opportunity to step forward and block the Lion Scorpion in the stairwell again, then swung his greatsword at the top of the Lion Scorpion's head.
The lion scorpion, its speed noticeably reduced, couldn't dodge in time and was struck heavily in the cheek by the greatsword, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. Blood spurted out, dark red blood flowing down the blade.
The skeleton warriors began to move closer to the lion scorpion, raising their weapons and slashing at it.
The vampire seemed to have grown tired of his opponent and reached out to grab the lion scorpion's wound. The blood flowing from the lion scorpion's wound seemed to come alive and gushed out wildly.
The lion scorpion couldn't stop the bleeding from its wounds, its breathing gradually weakened, and it was eventually killed by its summoned creatures in the corridor.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully killing the Lion Scorpion and gaining 200 experience points]
Hearing the system notification, Liu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. This lion scorpion was so oppressive; it would be most reassuring if it died.
To prevent any accidents, he beckoned his summoned creatures to go upstairs.
After setting up the summoned creatures at each key point, he went up the stairs to the corpse of the lion scorpion.
The raven picked up the dropped item and placed it in Liu Nian's hand. Liu Nian couldn't help but feel a little expectant, wondering what kind of units this monster could recruit.
He walked up to the lion scorpion and used the Soul Summoning Technique, and the system notification arrived as expected.
[Consume 30 Soul Points to Recruit the Cave Demon?]
【whether】
Thirty points? Isn't that on par with a ghost? That's very much in line with the status of an elite unit.
He calculated the gains and losses in his mind. After recruiting, he still had 110 soul power left. Even if another boss-level unit appeared to recruit the Black Knight, he was capable of recruiting him. It wouldn't be a big problem.
So he decisively chose yes.
After he finished confirming, a cloud of chaotic mist surged from the lion scorpion's corpse. When the mist dissipated, a spider-like undead unit appeared in front of Liu Nian, and the lion scorpion's corpse disappeared.
Its jet-black body was covered with gray fur, and its eight incredibly long legs were clearly segmented. Its head was disproportionately small compared to its body, and two sharp teeth protruded from its mouth, constantly dripping with sticky fluid. It stared at Liu Nian with countless red compound eyes.
Liu Nian felt a chill run down her spine from its gaze and instinctively used information gathering.
Cave Demon
Race: Undead
Attack power: 15-20
Defense: 0-2 Health: 130
Skills: Spinning silk, burrowing underground.
Spin Silk: Releases spider silk to bind a single target. The target will make a constitution judgment. The higher the constitution, the shorter the binding time.
Burrowing: The Burrowing Demon digs underground to hide, and while hidden, it can accelerate the regeneration of its own health.
Thirty points of soul power is worth it, as it actually has a unit with a control skill, but its attack and defense are at opposite extremes.
Avoiding the devil's gaze, Liu Nian walked towards the stairwell.
There, a wheel with a purple base stands quietly in the corridor, radiating a captivating glow.
