Chapter 273: Chapter 88 Perils Abound - A Fine Line Between Life and Death

The first group’s five members, four of whom were retreating to eat glutinous rice cakes, but Hidden Dragon Do Not Use did not retreat. If he had, the front line would have been breached.

"Summon the personal guards first—then detoxify!" Hidden Dragon Do Not Use ordered while his long spear kept thrusting relentlessly.

However, the Corpse King flung his iron chain, and the enormous force sent the long spear flying, nearly breaking through the frontline formation.

The several generals of the first group hurriedly summoned their personal guards.

"Hear my command, come forth, State Mansion Blade Card Soldiers!"

"Hear my command, come forth, Heavy Long Spear Soldiers!"

"Hear my command, come forth, Wind Sing Iron Guards!"

"Hear my command, come forth, Sword and Shield Civilian Soldiers!"

In an instant, the personal guards of the four generals were summoned, each wielding weapons and charging towards the Corpse King.

Seizing this opportunity, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use also issued a command.

"Hear my command, come forth—Big Halberd Soldiers!"

He directly summoned two Armored Soldiers wielding big halberds and rushed towards the Corpse King together.

This was the strength of Generals, not only were they no weaker than gunmen of the same level, but they could also summon soldiers to assist in battle.

The five soldiers charged together and managed to hold back the Corpse King for a moment. The Corpse King swept two of them away with one swing, then another sweep took down two more, but within those precious few seconds,

the four generals had quickly eaten the glutinous rice cakes and detoxified the Corpse Poison, then went back into the fray.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use also promptly detoxified from the Corpse Poison.

The zombies on both sides were also held back by the second and third groups, with those injured and losing health naturally retreating into the formation to recover before rejoining the fight.

Xiao Jie was observing carefully at this moment; the formation arranged by Hidden Dragon Do Not Use was a clear hollow square. As long as this formation wasn’t breached, players could continually retreat from the front line to the center to recover, and as long as there was enough blood medicine, they could keep up the fight.

Such tactics could only be afforded by core members of the Dragon Soaring Knights, for to maintain the integrity of the formation, each person had to hold their position firmly, which required close cooperation and long-term training. If it were up to unaffiliated players like Salted Fish, whose formation would be loose, maintaining the formation after engaging in battle would be impossible, and it would have already turned into a melee.

It made sense for Hidden Dragon Do Not Use to have left his only level 30+ main account to clear Little Monsters and instead bring all core members.

The Corpse King swung his iron chain several times attempting to break through, but after seeing the five generals of the first group reposition in a line, there was no longer any hope of a breakthrough. Suddenly, he let out a Furious Roar.

This roar was terrifyingly dreadful, as if it could pierce the soul, and in an instant, the soil on the ground began to squirm all around.

Corpse King’s Power—Awaken the Corpse Group!

Just as the ground around them burst open with a series of bangs, dried and charred zombie hands emerged from beneath, crawling out.

Damn it! Xiao Jie’s scalp tingled at the sight, things were looking bad; the tightly organized formation was being disrupted from the inside.

"Leader, the monsters are spawning!"

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use turned around and was also startled, "Don’t panic, everyone keep fighting while retreating, fall back into the tunnel, group 8 goes first, each group retreats in descending order by group number."

Group eight’s members, upon hearing this, hurriedly began to fall back into the tunnel behind them, but they soon came running back out.

"Not good, the tunnel is full of zombies!"

What! Xiao Jie was taken aback, the tunnel had been clear before.

He quickly moved closer to have a look into the tunnel, and sure enough, it was packed with zombies. But they weren’t Earth-burrowing Zombies, they were—Resurrected Zombies? What the hell was that...

At a glance, they appeared no different from the Earth-burrowing Zombies.

His scalp prickled at the thought; with the boss in front and their retreat cut off, and zombies appearing within their formation, they could very well face total annihilation.

"Leader, what do we do, our retreat has been cut off!" Little White Dragon cried out in alarm.

"Group eight, hold the rear, group seven, clear the nearby Little Monsters, groups two and three, tighten the formation!" Despite the dire situation, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use remained remarkably calm, not showing any signs of despair.

"Group one, continue to hold against the BOSS with me, summon all the soldiers you can, push the personal guards backwards, fight back-to-back, we cannot let the Corpse King break our formation—Dida La, stop holding back."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use issued his orders in quick succession, restoring some calm to his team.

The number of zombies emerging was increasing by the moment, and in the tunnel, zombies that had been previously cleared seemingly all came back to life, spurred by the summoning of the Corpse King and began to rush towards the cavern.

It was clear that the few members of group eight alone couldn’t block them all.

"Xiong Da, block the exit!" With a Furious Roar, Xiong Da lunged towards the tunnel entrance, his huge frame acting like a stabilizing anchor at the exit.

With a wolf’s howl, another Beast Tamer summoned a wild wolf to join the fray.

Ye Luo sent his zombies into the fight as well.

The archers at the back switched to melee weapons and began hand-to-hand fighting, desperately blocking the tunnel entrance to avoid a pincer attack; their formation had truly become a hollow square at this point.

No, it should be called a solid square instead, as zombies filled the inside of the square.

Xiao Jie quickly shifted his focus to the group of zombies in the middle of the hollow square; these zombies had to be dealt with, or they would cause trouble.

At this moment, Dida La was chanting—"Five Elements Magic, Fiery Fire, wildfire spreads chaos, turns bone to dust, hear my command—Burning Flame Chaotic Dance!

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, instantly engulfing several zombies, and then, like a Vortex, the fire column started to spin, spreading continuously, with flames bursting forth, illuminating the entire cavern with brilliant light.

Dida La wielded his Magic Wand, looking like a frenzied shaman performing a ritual, controlling the fire to envelop more and more zombies.
