Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Battle of Attrition

"Just as expected, so easy to handle. As long as the mention of encountering difficulties on the next floor is made, they obediently comply."

Staring at Yang Yu, who was chatting leisurely with two girls ahead, Mohawk’s eyes filled with disdain and resentment, mixed with a hint of slight jealousy.

Damn brat, actually taking women to conquer the underground city, it was time to show him the harshness of society.

"Over there, turn right."

Commanding Yang Yu, they entered a noticeably narrower corridor, and the Giant Stone Adventure Team followed.

This corridor was a dead end, wide enough to accommodate five or six adult men walking side by side, and the physically imposing Giant Stone Adventure Team needed only two men to block it completely.

If someone were pushed into this narrow path, they would have no room to resist, making it extremely suitable for teaching clueless adventurers a lesson.

As they approached the end of the corridor, the smile in Mohawk’s eyes grew thicker.

The trio’s outfits were quite stylish, and they seemed uninterested in money; perhaps they were affluent youths disguised as adventurers, experiencing rural life.

Normally, Mohawk would not dare to lay a hand on such wealthy individuals, but, this was the underground city.

"In the underground city, anything can happen, and even if they were eaten by ’monsters of the underground city,’ nobody would ever find out."

Yang Yu, who was leading the group, suddenly stopped, spoke in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, and slowly turned around, his eyes becoming exceedingly amiable,

"I spoke correctly, didn’t I? Monsters of the underground city."

"Really now, what are you joking about?" Mohawk retorted with an indifferent smile on his face, "How could we possibly be the monsters of the underground city?"

"No need to pretend anymore; if we go further, there will be no road. Doesn’t that spell it out for you?"

With a smile curling his lips, Yang Yu drew his sword from his waist as a sign, and Bai Jin and Iyas stopped, turning around.

Bai Jin had woven a spell in her hands, a silvery-white magic array swirling in her palm, while Iyas had taken a bow and arrow from the quiver and pulled the bowstring.

The atmosphere instantly tensed.

"Actually, the entrance to the third level is a secret door; this here is not a dead end. You just need to check and you’ll know."

"Hey, what’s the sudden confusion? Listen to me, the entrance to the third level is a secret door, not a dead end; just check and you’ll know."

Yang Yu and Mohawk almost simultaneously spoke the same sentence.

The smile faded from Mohawk’s lips; he had intended to attack while they were checking the walls, yet he did not foresee Yang Yu seeing through his plan.

"Since it’s been seen through, there’s nothing I can do about it, and I don’t want to pretend anymore."

Mohawk loosened his shoulders and pulled out dual axes from his back,

"To mistake you for a fool, I am truly sorry. In this situation, anyone would come to understand, so don’t be smug!

You think I’ve been in this business for how long? If you thought a few words would scare me off, you are daydreaming! With your small frames, I could take you on alone, let alone, we have ten people!"

"You already have no way out, hand over all your valuables, and perhaps, I can let you die a quick death."

Who says everyone can understand the situation? One of our team members almost didn’t react in time.

We had just recently taught her about the dangers of society, but she immediately forgot, always saying the monsters on the second level weren’t much to talk about and urging us to quickly move to the third level... completely unaware of the malintent approaching.

To truly educate this country girl would take a long time.

"We have no way out, but neither do we have enemies at our rear, do we? The ones with no way out are you!" Yang Yu’s confident smile never faded, and the moment he caught a flaw in the Giant Stone team’s formation, he issued the order to attack, "Bai Jin, ’Ice Cone Skill’!"

As soon as Yang Yu’s voice rang out, Bai Jin tacitly raised her hand, and from the pure white array, fine snow drifted out, accompanied by a fierce cold wind blowing towards Giant Stone.

Using the wind, Yang Yu charged towards an adventurer on the left, lunging a sword directly at the Mohawk adventurer’s chest.

The Mohawk adventurer hurriedly drew his sword to defend, but he was still a step too late, Yang Yu’s sharp sword blade grazed his chest, leaving a shallow wound.

The first scream echoed through the corridor. It was not the result of monsters fighting humans, but of humans fighting each other over differing interests.

"You little punk! Don’t get cocky with me!"

How could he stand seeing his teammate taken down right before his eyes? Giant Stone roared and swung his double axes, slashing at Yang Yu.

Retracting his sword and leaping backward, Yang Yu dodged the giant axes, completely missing him and at the same time, he issued new instructions to Bai Jin and Iyas.

"Iyas, target the bald adventurer on the other side, ’Hunter Mark,’ then ’Deadly Shot.’"

"Understood!"

Iyas drew her bow, and her arrows gleamed with golden light. Her sight focused directly on the enemy in front of Yang Yu, and besides the bald man, everyone else disappeared from her view. The bow moved, the string twanged, and the golden arrow streaked through the air like a meteor, firmly hitting the bald man in the chest.

’Hunter Mark’ locks on a target, adding +100% critical damage, +20% critical strike chance.

’Deadly Shot’ has an attack multiplier of 200%, with a high probability of hitting critical areas (influenced by both parties’ agility, the probability of hitting critical areas ranges from 20%-100%).

The critical hit combined with a hit on a vital spot, Iyas’s combo directly took off nearly three-fourths of the bald man’s health, leaving him severely wounded and bleeding.

This healer really does rely on burst damage for her offense! 51 luck, truly terrifying.

Yang Yu was flabbergasted, but only for a moment, he immediately issued the next command, "Bai Jin, finish him off!"

Bai Jin chanted the magic, and ice formed in her hands, striking the bald man who hadn’t completely fallen yet with another hit, causing him to instantly lose breath and fall to the ground, motionless.

Watching the bald man he once drank with fall in the blink of an eye, Giant Stone let out a roar,

"Everyone attack! Don’t let them get away!"

It doesn’t matter, we still have a numerical advantage, just by leveraging the difference in our numbers, we can easily crush them, making them pay the price!

Just as he thought this, Giant Stone suddenly realized that the narrow corridor simply didn’t allow his broad-shouldered, bear-like teammates to fight effectively.

The corridor could accommodate five adults walking side by side, but it was too narrow for his teammates to fight in; at most, it could accommodate two people fighting side by side.

"It looks like you’ve finally noticed," Yang Yu sneered, "This fight isn’t a ten versus three team battle, it’s a ten against three series of individual battles. And I am not afraid of individual battles!"
