"Elite monsters at level 20?!" Gu Xiang was shocked, his expression turning grave.
He stepped forward, not looking back as he said, "This monster's Strength attribute has reached 74 points. Little fellow, you should go back to the second line."
"Xiao Jia, come with me to the front, we can't let this horde of rotten flesh break our defense line!"
The knight Xiao Jia raised his shield and silently followed Gu Xiang as they charged forward.
The two led the charge, colliding with the wave of zombies and engaging them in combat.
This wave of zombies numbered in the eighties or nineties, surging forth ferociously.
Among them were more than ten Bloodied Zombies.
Level 20 elite monsters were no longer easily dealt with.
Gu Xiang swung his greatsword, once again bisecting three decaying zombies, but immediately afterward, he found himself facing a Bloodied Zombie head-on.
Gu Xiang let out a roar and unleashed a sword strike.
With a resounding "clang" like metal colliding, although the Bloodied Zombie was cleaved with a huge wound and black blood gushed out, it was still not slain.
"Roar-" The Bloodied Zombie let out a howl, its wound spraying more blood outwards, gradually drenching its entire body.
A faint reddish mist swirled around it, making it appear even more ferocious.
This was the Bloodied Zombie's skill - Bloody Frenzy, directly increasing its Strength and Agility by 40%.
The Bloodied Zombie's Agility was already not low, and after using Bloody Frenzy, its speed soared, directly pouncing at Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang, with his rich battle experience, swung his sword horizontally, striking the Bloodied Zombie.
"Clang!" Another sound of metal colliding, this time not only was the Bloodied Zombie forced to retreat, but even Gu Xiang was pushed back a step by the recoil force.
This showed that with the Bloody Frenzy buff, the Bloodied Zombie's Strength attribute was not much lower than Gu Xiang's.
One Bloodied Zombie was still manageable, but with so many zombies here, Gu Xiang really couldn't withstand them surging in.
Gu Xiang felt the pressure mounting, but at that moment, countless white fireballs rained down, enveloping him and the nearby zombies.
Gu Xiang felt the discomfort from the recoil instantly disappear, while the Bloodied Zombie he had struck twice was now unable to resist the holy fire cleansing, and ultimately fell.
In a critical moment, Qiu Qiu's damage output from the rear provided the finishing blow.
However, the crisis was not over.
In just a dozen or so seconds, the zombies had already charged in, and Gu Xiang, not caring to conserve his strength, gripped his sword with both hands, taking a step forward before unleashing a powerful swing.
A white light flashed from his sword blade, making him like a full moon as he directly pulverized the charging zombie horde.
"Crescent Moon Slash!"
As he unleashed this skill, Gu Xiang's stamina plummeted.
However, this one skill had instantly taken out at least ten decaying zombies.
At the same time, Qiu Qiu and the other rear mages and archers also began to fully unleash their damage output, helping the front-line warriors shoulder the pressure.
Gu Xiang and Qiu Qiu's little team was a leveling team, with no lack of firepower, the key was whether the front line could withstand.
Gu Xiang had wanted to defend his position and block all the zombies by himself, but next to him, the knight Xiao Jia suddenly cried out for help: "Brother Gu, quick, help me!"
Gu Xiang turned back to look and was immediately anxious.
In front of Xiao Jia's shield was a Bloodied Zombie that had activated its Bloody Frenzy.
The Bloodied Zombie charged furiously, and Xiao Jia's Strength attribute was far inferior, unable to withstand it at all!
Not only that, two decaying zombies had also surrounded him from the flanks, their Cling and Tear skills activated, their fangs about to sink into Xiao Jia.
Corpse toxin required a priest's Cleansing Spell to remove the debuff, and that was a skill the holy mage Qiu Qiu didn't have!
If he got bitten, Xiao Jia would be in grave danger!
Gu Xiang didn't think twice, immediately rushing over with his sword and striking the Bloodied Zombie, helping Xiao Jia.
Xiao Jia also took the opportunity to use the knight's Trample skill, knocking the two decaying zombies away.
Although he had helped Xiao Jia, Gu Xiang knew that by leaving his position on the front line, it had created a gap in their formation.
This way, the rear Qiu Qiu and the others would be in danger.
Gu Xiang, experienced as he was, after helping Xiao Jia, immediately wanted to return to his original position, while shouting, "Everyone, retreat backwards! Cai'er, take my position and plug the gap!"
Just then, Gu Xiang heard a calm voice say, "No need for the assassin to come up, I'll take over the front line position."
Gu Xiang was taken aback, and then he saw Lufan, wielding the Ebony Dragon Scale Greatsword, appear in his original position, facing the surging zombie horde head-on.
