These strange red birds had extremely strange wings and were made of triangular pieces of meat. Its neck was long and slender, two meters long. Their heads seemed to be made entirely of mouths.
The strange bird continued to make strange cries as it rushed toward the players of the Mad Dragon Guild. Without any hesitation, the Red Lotus Bow in Turban Qiaoqiao’s hand was fully drawn.
“Heaven’s Arrow!”
White arrows shot out one after another, piercing through several strange birds. However, not only did there not appear any health reduction notifications, but it directly reduced Turban Qiaoqiao’s health by half.
“Everyone, don’t attack!” Han Xing quickly stopped the other players who wanted to attack.
Turban Qiaoqiao took the blood recovery medicine without hesitation. North Star was stunned. He also realized that something was wrong with these monsters.
“As long as the player attacks them, they will drain the player’s HP, so it’s impossible to kill them. If they continue to attack us, then we players would die.”
“That’s true.” Fourteen Continents hurriedly retreated a step and dodged the strange bird’s head. He said, “But we can’t keep defending. Don’t tell me that I can’t attack them at all?”
He was extremely gloomy. He had always been the one fighting the monsters. These monsters had never turned around to mess with him. He really suspected that the special attributes of these monsters were something the company behind the game had used to disgust them.
Han Xing laughed when he heard this. He replied, “In order not to be eliminated, everyone can practice your movement techniques and positioning!”
After saying that, he used Lightning Steps to move away from the encirclement. Looking at the densely packed monsters, the players of the Mad Dragon Guild were dumbfounded. How were they going to play? Turban Qiaoqiao didn’t have any objections. She was an elf, so she could fly in the sky. She easily dodged these things.
Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical had a displacement skill. At the very least, he could use his little bomb as a substitute. One Sword Horizon was in the worst state. He was a melee warrior. How could he run away now? He dodged in a sorry state and was occasionally bitten by the strange bird.
When he was angry, he wanted to chop all these things up with a knife, but when he thought of the guild master’s words, he did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing that he was dodging in a sorry state, Fourteen Continents laughed loudly and mocked, “You’re too useless. I told you to train more.”
One Sword Horizon said angrily, “Stop being a good person here. If you have the ability, think of a way!”
Fourteen Continents laughed as he released several water columns. Double Stream Storm naturally understood what Fourteen Continents meant and immediately froze these water columns in place. They forcefully created a path for One Sword Horizon.
He could step on these icicles and move around agilely. After doing so, One Sword Horizon was indeed much more relaxed. Xiao Xin jumped around on the spot. The golden lotus flower in his hand instantly expanded. When it opened and closed, it could also protect him. There was no big problem.
Han Xing looked around at Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical and couldn’t help but remind him, “Be careful. If you attack, the trajectory will automatically open up and shoot.”
Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical nodded and replied, “I’ve already turned off the automatic defense mechanism. Even if they hit me, they won’t automatically defend themselves. Actually, the HP loss isn’t that high.”
He suddenly thought of something and looked at Han Xing with a smile. He asked, “Guild Master, do you need me to protect you? 1 can be your human shield.”
Han Xing shook his head and retorted, “Just protect yourself first. This round of attacks will be over soon.”
They were in a stalemate with these strange birds for almost 20 minutes. These strange birds could not attack them. One by one, they had already begun to go crazy in anger, and their speed had increased by a lot. Seeing their crazy expressions, Han Xing knew that it was about time to start.
Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical looked at the strange birds rolling and spinning in the sky, wishing they could bite the players to death. He could not help but laugh. In the next moment, these strange birds with extremely high HP bars began to lose HP.
“Everyone, pay attention. Don’t be attacked by them, or their blood will start to recover.”
Hearing Han Xing’s words, everyone in the Mad Dragon Guild perked up. Even so, there were still people who were attacked from time to time. After these strange birds went berserk, their speed was too fast. Even if they wanted to dodge, they could not dodge in an instant.
Not to mention, the encirclement of the strange birds was getting tighter and tighter. Hundreds of strange birds surrounded Han Xing at the same time. If he was touched by them, he would probably die on the spot.
Han Xing didn’t panic for a long time and used Lightning Steps to jump out of the encirclement. This round of battle lasted for more than an hour. Except for Han Xing, everyone’s health bar was not very healthy.
It was only the third round of attacks and it was already so difficult to fight. If they forcefully endured until the tenth round of attacks, they would probably die of exhaustion. Han Xing thought for a moment and finally said, “Let’s stop fighting and destroy the teleportation portal!”
Such a decision was too bold and risky. They did not know if they could do it with their current strength. However, if they managed to hold on until the tenth round, even a guild as strong as the Mad Dragon Guild might lose. In his previous life, no guild had made it to the tenth round. Moreover, the company’s purpose of competing like this was to see who had the shortest time to clear the dungeon and had the lowest elimination rate. Therefore, it was completely useless for them to persist until the tenth round.
North Star only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to Han Xing’s suggestion. Since they had no idea how many rounds of attacks they would have to go through, they might as well take care of the teleportation portal. The other players of the Mad Dragon Guild had no objections. They had only listened to what Star Rebel had to say. Now that their guild master had said so, they had no reason to hesitate.
Taking advantage of the fact that the fourth round of monsters had yet to respawn, Fourteen Continents and Double Stream Storm took action. The two of them had a tacit understanding as one used water skills while the other used ice skills. Soon, the ice stairs leading to the teleportation portal were completed.
The stairs led directly to the top of the teleportation portal. The players of the Mad Dragon Guild did not hesitate at all and stepped onto the stairs. The next moment, the teleportation portal began to flash with a golden light. They could tell that the stronger the light was, the stronger the monster that was teleported over would be.
Turban Qiaoqiao did not need to take the stairs. She flew directly above the teleportation portal. In order not to attack the other players of the Mad Dragon Guild, she was even closer to the teleportation portal.
Her hand that was drawing the bow stopped at this moment. She raised her hand and felt around in confusion. As expected, there was a wall of air less than an inch away from her. This wall of air was too tricky here.
No, after carefully searching around, she found that there were several air walls. It was probably to avoid the location of the large teleportation portal and prevent the monsters from being teleported to other areas!
However, the air wall gave her a good idea. She immediately waved her hand at Star Rebel and said, “Guild Master, I have an air wall here..”
