After the footsteps faded, the screams of the demons outside the mansion continued unabated.
Then, some terracotta warriors armed with crossbows climbed up the outer wall of the city lord's mansion. They quickly stood on the wall and started shooting at the monsters inside.
A dense rain of arrows enveloped the large, clumsy beasts outside the gate. Their solid muscles were as fragile as paper in front of the crossbow bolts. Their health, already depleted by the city lord's group, was immediately killed after being hit by a few more arrows.
Seeing the monster fall in front of him, Lu Dingtian finally came to his senses. It turned out that the soldiers of Zhen Dan had come to his aid.
The survivors were overjoyed. They had almost died here, and the feeling of escaping death was wonderful. Their emotions were like a rollercoaster ride.
With the arrival of the Zhen Dan crossbowmen, the monsters in the city lord's mansion were eliminated with lightning speed.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a low growl came from outside the courtyard.
The people inside the mansion felt a sense of unease just from hearing that deep voice.
Soon, the ominous feeling became a reality. A moment later, the screams of the Zhen Dan soldiers came from outside the door, clearly indicating that they were fighting with monsters.
The crossbowmen stood on the wall and kept firing out of the courtyard, but the people in the hall could still feel the monsters gradually approaching the mansion.
Sure enough, the screams grew closer and closer, and then a wall collapsed, knocking the crossbowmen on top of it to the ground before they could dodge.
Before he even landed, he was clamped by a pair of huge pincers. As the pincers stretched him to the sides, the struggling crossbowman was cut into three pieces.
Blood mixed with severed limbs fell from mid-air, then disappeared into the pile of corpses beside the wall.
When everyone saw what the monster looked like, they gasped in shock.
The first thing that catches the eye is its enormous body, with a reddish-brown exterior.
Four pairs of short, sharp legs supported its massive body, and above that were a pair of enormous, terrifying pincers, with a large amount of blood still dripping down them.
Its head is shaped like an inverted triangle, with several sharp barbs on the top. Unlike its massive body, its head appears very small, and its facial features are so far apart that they are difficult to see.
At this moment, it was roaring with its mouth full of sharp teeth open, and the low growl that everyone had just heard came from its mouth.
The halberds of the Zhen Dan soldiers only left a shallow wound on its body, which was quickly healed. Several crossbow bolts were stuck in its body, but they were not deeply embedded in the flesh and seemed to cause no pain or discomfort.
Perhaps it grew tired of the soldiers, it swept them all down with a single blow, and those who were lucky enough not to fall stood there motionless.
If you look closely, you'll find that they don't not want to run, but they can't.
After being hit by that monster, fine ice shards instantly appeared on the surface of their clothes. Their bodies were frozen stiff, making them unable to move. They could only watch in despair as the next blow came.
They didn't have to wait long before the monster swung its giant pincers, smashing the frozen soldiers around it into a pile of ice shards.
The Zhen Dan soldiers, whom even Liu Nian had to look up to, were easily killed by this monster. I wonder what he would think if he saw this.
The people inside the city lord's mansion couldn't find any information about its level, so they guessed it must be a boss.
The small squad of Zhen Dan soldiers who came to their aid were quickly killed by it. The monster, still not satisfied, lingered in the spot and refused to leave. As if sensing the living people inside the house, it headed straight into the city lord's mansion.
Its seemingly enormous body was surprisingly agile, and it arrived at the entrance of the hall in no time.
The people of the city lord's mansion, who had just escaped a calamity, watched through the window glass as the powerful Zhen Dan soldiers were easily killed by it. They could no longer muster the thought of resisting, and despair enveloped everyone's hearts.
They held their breath, not daring to breathe too loudly; the mere presence of that monster standing outside the door made it hard for them to breathe.
Seemingly having had enough of the despair of the crowd, it swung its huge pincers to break through the heavy objects blocking the door, and then clamped down on Lu Dingtian in the center.
Mu Feng and Yan Kuan, who were standing beside him, wanted to step forward to protect him, but found themselves stiff, as if they had been frozen in place.
Helpless, they could only watch in despair as its pincers drew closer and closer to the city lord. Seeing this, Xiao Yan, who was standing behind the city lord, bit his tongue. The stinging pain on his tongue brought him back to his senses, and he used all his strength to ram into Lu Dingtian.
As Lu Dingtian fell, he passed by the giant pincers, while Xiao Yan behind him deliberately bumped into the pincers and was then clamped.
Xiao Yan, who was being squeezed by a tremendous force, felt pain all over his body, and the difficulty in breathing reminded him of a fish dying of thirst.
Memories flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, gradually settling on the day I first met Lu Jiaqi.
That was the person he liked at first sight, how could he be content to just be friends!
Strangely, the monster didn't kill him; instead, it threw him to the ground.
It turned its head to look in the direction outside the city, and then fled.
No one knew what the monster's intentions were, but the feeling of escaping death made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Without any further hesitation, Lu Dingtian, who had narrowly escaped death, completely accepted this son-in-law.
"You're quite good." Lu Dingtian looked Xiao Yan up and down, then patted him on the shoulder.
"Congratulations, Lord Lu, on finding a fine son-in-law." After the group, who had escaped death, re-blocked the doorway with heavy objects, they congratulated Lu Dingtian as he stood up.
After they came to their senses, a new question arose in their minds: Where did the monster go?
...
Meanwhile, in the slums of City B.
【Rodament】(Level 30 boss/Mummy)
Magic attack power: 60-85
Defense: 6-10
Health Points: 5000
Skills: Extra Fast, Immune to Cold/Poison Damage, Shadow Bolt.
What the heck? A melee fighter who uses magic attacks?
Looking at the boss's stats, Liu Nian was speechless.
He soon found out what was going on: the omnipotent skeleton warrior had taken on the important task of testing Rodament.
As it slowly approached, Rodament, this enormous mummy, with its long arms, stretched out its claws and slapped at the skeleton warrior.
The left claw has a freezing attribute, instantly freezing the skeleton warrior in place.
Its right claw was poisonous, and the moment it touched the skeleton warrior, it turned the entire creature green.
No wonder it was a magic attack; the attack effect was entirely attribute damage. Liu Nian suddenly realized.
Taking advantage of the skeleton warrior's immobility due to being frozen, Rodament suddenly swung his claws rapidly, killing the poor skeleton warrior with a series of blows.
"Go in peace, I won't forget you." Looking at the fallen skeleton warrior, Liu Nian shed a few crocodile tears, then pointed at Rodmant and snapped his fingers.
The Abomination struck first, grabbing Rodament from the doorway with a large hand and before it could even stand up, it used its limbs to gnaw on the mummy's shoulder.
Taking advantage of its immobility, the Dread Knight charged from the side at full speed, his saber slashing fiercely at Rodament.
