Chapter 567: Chapter 437: Arrival of the Leader (Third update) _2

But could they withstand the next four attacks?

No one had a clear answer, not even Su Yu.

"If we can’t hold out, we will retreat up this building. Over there, do you see that building? From my observation over the last two days, there seems to be a number of teams gathered there. We can join them if it comes to that."

Leading everyone onward, Su Yu pointed towards the other building. Li Dong curiously asked, "If there are so many teams over there, why don’t we escape now while we can?"

Su Yu shook his head, "Now, the outside is swarming with monsters. The chance of breaking out is almost zero. We have to lure all the monsters into the building first, and then escape with Ada. At this time, the Yalasa monsters stationed outside the building are relatively weak so we could possibly break in."

Everyone nodded and then they discussed some specific strategies. Of course, this was only if they were unable to hold out. If possible, they didn’t wish to leave their location and risk their lives. Once outside, they would be facing monsters attacking from all sides, and the difficulty and danger would be much higher.

Qin Jiagui looked up and murmured, "Luckily, there’s an escape route. If the enormous ship had docked above this building, then we would be attacked from both sides, and it would have been much harder to defend this position."

Wu Tian intervened, "There’s no trial that results in certain death. Each trial is just an opportunity to speed up our evolution. If it was a death sentence, the Black Iron Guardian might as well destroy us directly. Why would they bother with these trials? I believe they could annihilate all of us with their capabilities."

Wu Tian seemed familiar with such trials. His words were full of experience.

Finally, the fourth day of the trial arrived. Everyone took their positions on the tenth floor, quietly awaiting the onslaught of the fourth wave of monsters.

The deafening roar that permeated from the sky signified the arrival of the fourth wave of Yalasa monsters.

This time, a monster leader emerged among the monster army. This Yalasa monster stood far apart from the other monsters. It towered at two and a half meters tall, a size larger than the other monsters. The faint white twisted stripes on its grayish skin set it apart from the others.

The monster did not directly attack. Instead, it stayed at the back of the monster horde and gestured towards the team with a claw. At its signal, countless monsters roared and attacked en masse. The fourth wave had officially commenced.

Everyone had now roughly figured out a pattern: each attack would last for about three hours. As long as they could hold out for three hours, the monsters would retreat. As the attack began, Su Yu, Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, and others took their positions. Immediately, Zhang Zhongmou stretched out his palm and with a sizzling sound, earthen spikes emerged from the ground, taking down four Yalasa monsters in an instant.

The "Earth Spike Assault" made its appearance, and with the death of four monsters, a new round of bloodshed began.

This time, the number of sixth-level monsters from the Yalasa clan had decreased, while the number of seventh-level monsters had multiplied. Among them, seventh-level elite monsters appeared from time to time. With their attack, everyone’s defenses were immediately thrown into disarray.

Wu Tian was taken aback, instantly employing the combined attack skills of Category 5 Lifeforms. Flames surged instantly, burning down about fifty monsters in the blink of an eye, slightly impeding the monsters’ attack. This allowed everyone to regroup. Predominately long-range attackers retreated to the middle of the group, such as Su Yun and Li Shengli.

Su Yun was not adept at close combat, only capable of ranged-attacks. Her fiery spheres were deployed from a distance, exploding with immense power. Fire surged throughout the building. Li Shengli, however, could enhance the group’s attack and defense abilities. Although his aura wasn’t as exaggerated as Chen Xuanbai’s from Freedom Village, its potency was still remarkable. He was an essential support of the team, significantly contributing to the overall strength of the group.

Powerful individuals like Su Yu, Zhang Zhongmou, Wu Tian, and Ruan Minghong, who had transformed into a giant meatball, blocked the front. From behind, Ma Ziye executed "Heaven and Earth Net". The Heavenly Net Formation, honed to an impressive level by Ma Ziye who was at the pinnacle of the Sixth Order, expanded outwards with countless steel cables zig-zagging across the area. Any monsters that rushed up would be caught within the mesh. Although the net was not as effective against Level 7 beasts, it could still slow them down. At that moment, Su Yu, now transformed into a black-scaled lizard, Zhang Zhongmou, the rock monster, and Wu Tian, the Demon of Darkness, pounced and engaged in close combat. Beasts of the seventh order were falling one after the other amidst flying blood and flesh. The scene was too bloody and chaotic to describe.

The monsters posed an unprecedented threat this time, increasing the pressure on everyone. The Yalasa Monster in the far rear of the group, covered in patterns, suddenly lifted its hands, mumbling something. Suddenly, the water pipes embedded in the walls exploded, fountains of water gushing out.

In the beginning, everyone was too busy fighting to notice the flowing water. It was not until the distant monster lifted its hands and unleashed a piercing cry that they realized it could remotely control the water flow. It transformed the water into a creature like a water dragon, which suddenly plunged into the circle of the group huddled together in defense.

The attack was sudden and there was no way anyone could guard against it. Su Yun, Li Shengli, and Li Dong, who had been protected by the group, cried out in horror as they were swallowed by the water dragon monster. The fireballs that Su Yun had just summoned fizzled out with a hiss. Almost at the same time, Su Yu, without saying a word, and not caring about the imminent assault from a Level 7 Elite beast, turned around and jumped, pulling Su Yun, who was in danger, away and throwing her far to the back.

Almost instantaneously, at the sound of the two men’s screams, Li Shengli, and Li Dong, whom Su Yu didn’t have time to save, were caught and crushed by the water dragon. Their bodies burst into gory blobs and they died on the spot.

Li Dong, who had a main body and a clone, had just lost his main body. When the main body died, the clone instantly became the main body. However, for now, he temporarily lost the ability to summon another clone. Moreover, his combat level would drop by one order, making him a Fourth-Order Black Iron Warrior.

Of course, since Li Dong had once mastered the Fifth Order Path, he could quickly regain it given he could absorb enough energy.

Li Shengli, on the other hand, did not have Li Dong’s cloning ability. His body was rudely crushed and he instantly died on the spot, becoming the second member to die within Su Yu’s team of twenty.

As Su Yu flung Su Yun away, witnessing the death of Li Shengli whom he was too late to save, he couldn’t help but roar in anger. Meanwhile, the Level Seven Elite beast he had previously let go of charged in and landed a heavy blow on a Sixth-Order warrior from Tianquan City, causing the warrior’s bones to shatter and flesh to fly, dying instantly.

"Black Flame Hell--" Su Yu roared. The situation didn’t look good so he had to activate his "Combined Attack Skills" in an instant.

The terrifying black flames swallowed everything around immediately. Within an instance, nearly a hundred incoming monsters were destroyed and consumed. As the remaining creatures halted in bewilderment, Su Yu shouted at Wu Tian: "I am leaving this place to you--" He then leapt down towards the monster horde below the tenth floor.

Below the tenth floor, all he could see was a dense crowd of monsters. Su Yu suddenly jumped down amidst a thunderous boom, landing into the seemingly endless group of monsters. Instantly, he was overwhelmed by the flood of creatures. (To be continued. For the latest Chapters, please visit www.qidian.com.
