Chapter 42 42. Prelude to collapse
[Level increase LV50 → LV51]
After the battle lasted for most of the day, Lin Jun was promoted.
It hasn’t been long since the last upgrade.
As expected of the Demon Tide, there is so much experience.
Inside the stairs, one shot from Puji can affect six or seven monsters. Normally, there is no such a good output environment.
However, as time went on, the monsters gradually became stronger.
In addition to some dragon beasts, Lin Jun also saw flesh and blood monsters from the ninth floor.
These things are more troublesome than dragon beasts - their vitality and recovery ability are too strong.
So strong that it made him sick.
Even if it is blown to pieces, as long as the core part is still alive, it can absorb the surrounding debris and reassemble a deformed body.
And now, the stairs are full of pieces of meat again...
Fortunately, the size of the body that each flesh monster can control is limited, otherwise Lin Jun would have no way to assemble a giant one.
The current situation is that although the flesh and blood monsters are difficult to kill, they are also suppressed and unable to climb up.
The situation on this side of the rift is much more difficult.
It's a special terrain where there are no stairs and thousands of troops have to cross a single-plank bridge.
The firepower gradually couldn't keep up with the speed of the monsters pouring out, and the siege turned into a melee.
Without any reinforcements, the Pujis will probably be unable to hold on for long, but that was also expected.
The unexpected thing was the dragon people.
The giant rat that was fighting with the dragon man has turned into a piece of meat on the ground.
At the end of the fight, the dragon man became furious. Not only did he crush the giant rat's throat, but he also tore it to pieces after it fell down.
This battle obviously consumed a lot of the dragon man's energy, so much so that it didn't even bother to guard all the Pujis.
Just now, it seemed to have figured it out, and directly packed up six Pujis and flew towards the forest.
Without the dragon man, the monsters can move freely.
After entering the fifth floor, I started running around like a headless fly.
Large areas of fungal mats were trampled and mushrooms were crushed.
What I worried about came true.
Although the monsters received the order and wanted to rush out of the dungeon, this order obviously did not include navigation.
The only fungal blankets that remained intact on the fifth floor were probably those hanging on the dome.
Fortunately, enough monsters have been killed so far.
If you can't prevent the mushroom garden from being destroyed, try to minimize the time and cost of rebuilding it.
Nothing speeds up reconstruction more than a large number of corpses.
Now all the monsters are trying to rush upwards and will not eat the corpses on the ground.
Only the dragon man, an odd creature, was completely focused on chewing Puji.
The rift can no longer be blocked, and if we continue to guard the stairs we will soon be surrounded.
Lin Jun commanded two Puji teams and began to fight while retreating to the swamp area, where the terrain was most suitable for Puji to make a final counterattack.
In order to maximize firepower while retreating, Lin Jun even developed a rear-jump round-shooting tactic.
After the front row fired a volley of Puji, he took advantage of the opportunity to regroup his magic power and jumped to the back row.
By jumping and fighting like this, the monsters left behind quite a few corpses.
Once the Pujis entered the swamp area, the battle entered its final stage.
The mobility of small monsters is greatly weakened after entering the swamp, so they are not to be feared.
The ones that are really threatening are those that can fly and those that are huge.
The remaining less than 500 Pujis started a final battle with the monsters rushing in from all directions...
…
The plan has almost been executed at this point, as monsters have already started wandering around the cave.
Lin Jun decisively detonated several self-destructive bombs at the entrance of the cave, sealing the entrance.
By the way, the fat Pooji who was being held and bitten by the dragon man in the forest also exploded.
Do you really think it’s a buffet?
Fatty Puji was found hiding in a cave at the edge of the forest.
Self-destruction certainly won't kill it, and it's hard to even hurt it.
Lin Jun can't do anything about it now.
The previous poisoning plan also failed. I don’t know if it can tell the difference. It only eats the cannon mushroom or the self-exploding Puji.
I just hope it can leave the fifth floor as soon as possible with the other dragon beasts.
But then again, after the demonic tide, won’t there be a large number of high-level monsters left in all classes?
It is not known whether they will automatically return to the lower level or the dungeon itself will deal with them.
I always feel that there are more and more problems in this dungeon, including the suspicious sound that caused the magic tide.
However, I am just a weak mushroom now and shouldn’t think so much.
I’ll wait until I reach LV99 and then go find out!
No longer thinking about the dungeon, Lin Jun squatted in the cave and watched the live broadcast outside.
Although the fungal carpets and mushrooms on the ground were trampled into pieces, those on the dome were not greatly affected.
Thanks to them, Lin Jun was still able to observe the outside world - it's just that the signal underground was a little weak.
What was coming up from the lower areas was becoming more and more outrageous.
The three-headed basilisk leaves a trail of venom wherever it crawls. I wonder if we can still grow mushrooms on it in the future.
The beetle, with flames burning all over its body, successfully set Dylan's loving cabin on fire.
There is even an oversized golem, which is so huge that it is amazing that it can climb up.
These monsters came out one after another. If they found the stairs, they would continue to rush up. If they didn’t find any, they would run around in panic.
Fortunately, no one is interested in the collapsed cave... except for a certain dragon man...
Lin Jun saw the dragon man come out of the forest and head straight towards the cave.
What is this for?
Did you discover these creatures in the cave?
The fifth floor is littered with dead Pujis. Do we really have to eat fresh ones?
However, even if it sensed it, it should not be able to dig in.
But... just in case, we still need to be prepared...
————
"No...it's impossible to stop it!"
At the gate of the dungeon, from a certain moment on, the strength of the monsters suddenly increased significantly.
Flesh monsters, high-level dragon beasts...
The adventurers were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
Even two gold-level adventurers were sacrificed.
And it's not just this batch that's strong. The further you go in the back, the more powerful monsters there are!
By now, the casualties have reached the limit that the adventurers can tolerate.
Many people have already given up and are planning to find an opportunity to escape.
“No retreat!
If you retreat, will Yafeng Town suffer?
Anyone who dares to escape from the guild will have his adventurer status revoked!
Reinforcements are coming soon, hold on!
After the crisis, everyone's bounty will be tripled!"
Oberon actually came to the front line in person at this time.
In fact, he had no choice but to come.
He now stood up and made a gesture of fighting to the death.
After being defeated, he could still gain some sympathy by saying that he "fought to the death and broke through with serious injuries."
When the time comes, the association will hold him accountable and may deal with him appropriately.
As Oberon shouted in response, the luxurious and exquisite wand in his hand emitted a dazzling light.
Seventh-level light magic—Arrow of the Sky.
Several arrows composed of rays of light shot out and accurately hit several small dragon beasts flying in the air.
With Oberon's encouragement, the morale of the adventurers was finally boosted a little.
But he knew that collapse was only a matter of time.
After all, the so-called "reinforcements that will arrive soon" are actually still a whole day away.
And after a day, it is unknown how many of these adventurers will be able to escape with their lives.
As for himself?
At level 55, although it is impossible to stop the tide of demons, it is still very easy to escape in the chaos after the morale collapses.
Slightly changed the name:
Asian Dragon → Dragon Beast
Calling them Yalong is a bit of a compliment to them.
Level 3 Magic → Level 3 Magic
All spells have ranks.
Wind magic LV6 means that you can use up to the sixth level of wind magic.
