Chapter 224: The Pests of the Space

(A/N: I know it’s a little late but thank you dear Chibi_Wolf38 for the Castle. This Chapter is dedicated to you. (❁´◡`❁))

It is as Long Haoran and Siri expected. Because they were already dead, being pierced only caused small amount of damage.

[-10]

[-12]

[-9]

But the traps managed to hold them for at least 3 three seconds before Daddy Ghoul got angry, "I smash!"

Then the stupid Daddy Ghoul got its hands stuck due to stakes.

Mommy Ghoul didn’t how to help its husband other than running around.

Same with the baby, they were having a hard time sprinting. Even using their skill Mayhem and Moonwalk skills rendered them ending being caught in the vines and pierced by the palisade.

Boom!

Those that were still like a carp jumping and sprinting were taken down first.

The babies hit self-implode due to its skill causing series of explosions.

"So that is how the corpse explosion works! It would be a pain if we were to fight up close."

The others hearing Cui’s words, shivered from picturing the scenario in their minds.

[Monsters Population: 2216/2500]

"Thank goodness, they don’t have intelligence or else just their numbers alone would be a headache." Elga let a breath of relief before loading the ballista.

The deduction in agility and the changes in the terrain lifted off the suffocating tension in the air and the residents who were initially scared regained their morale.

Everyone keep note of the CD between the heavy artilleries, cross bows and mini-catapult to maximize the damage output per minute.

[Monsters Population: 2006/2500]

[1908/2500]

[1845/2500]

[1780/2500]

Outside, the players who were in the middle of the exterminating the second wave were dumfounded.

[1. Salted Fish (Newbie Mountain No. 27) - 1792]

[1. Salted Fish (Newbie Mountain No. 27) - 1834]

In less than 5 seconds the numbers changed once again.

At the same time, the numbers of the 1st and 2nd in the Individual Category changed.

[1. Anonymous- (Newbie Mountain No. 27) - 295

2. Anonymous 2-(Newbie Mountain No. 27) – 123...]

[1. Anonymous- (Newbie Mountain No. 27) - 355

2. Anonymous 2-(Newbie Mountain No. 27) – 148...]

Because the communication was still accessible between players outside the Death Zone, they were able to know how many each were facing during the second wave. The same monsters were used in the second waves but were buffed by increases of 10% in HP and their basic stats rose by 5%.

[D- 40 monsters], [C- 55 monsters], [B- 80 monsters]

No one came forth with an A rating and above but that territory on top of the rankings seems to achieve a high grade. This brought a wave of different emotions for the players- fear, awe, admiration, helplessness, curiosity, greed, and jealousy.

[1528/2500]

The defense was going on smoothly until the ghouls activated their skills.

[Stone skin]

[Fist Smash]

The Daddies were freed.

The babies hopped on their daddies’ shoulders and the daddy went to helped their wifeys and the trio were reunited and live happily...cough...

"Ke keke!"

"K eke ke!"

"Roar!" The trio wanted to be cheerleaders and hatched a diabolical plan.

But for the players, the ghouls sticking together as a one big loving family with the dad running around with [13.5 Agi Stats], made the residents grinned.

"So stupid!"

With them displaying PDA, the firepower would be more concentrated.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Thus the speed of elimination became faster!

[1419/2500]

[1310/2500]

[1034/2500]

Li Chunhua didn’t use the fire bombs and used the [Water Burst] talisman attaching it in the ammunition.

The explosion was no less than the fire talisman back then, emptying several ghoul families’ in a second and creating 7-feet deep pits, destroying some of the traps. After all, the damage calculated from 40% of the cheat’s incalculable Int was no joke.

The families that only reunited for a few seconds were separated by the knockback effects.

[929/2500]

From four figures, they’re down to three digits now!

Those than managed to cross the trenches with Daddies’ sacrifices were pierced by the Ice and Water Magic Towers and Gunless Marksmanship’s throws.

Those who were still alive after all the obstacles were finished by Li Chunhua’s qi bullets.

[542/2500]

"We’re almost there! Just hang on!"

[345/2500]

[268/2500]

[134/2500]

[45/2500]

In the midst, Long Haoran’s screen appeared in front of her.

"Keep one alive so we can take a break and gather the loots." Long Haoran’s suggestion made Li Chunhua’s eyes lit up.

"Alright. You can count on me to restrain it." She threw a [Vine Entanglement] talisman to the closest female ghoul about 20 meters away. Since the risk was high with keeping the baby possessing corpse explosion skill and the dad’s fist smash.

The female ghoul turned into a mummy and struggled to free itself.

Li Chunhua jumped out. "I’ll be back." She said to her teammates.

"Stop firing for a sec!" Meng Chu shouted.

The others in the south didn’t release their hold on the payload and waited for the landowner to come back.

"Kekekek!" When the ghouls sensed Li Chunhua’s blood and flesh they clamored towards her direction. Li Chunhua grabbed the mummy and leapt back. The ghouls could only feast on tasteless air.

"Now! They are group together again!" Li Chunhua ordered.

"Yes!"

There were consecutive explosions on the group. The smell became even nauseating.

"I got it Chef Long!" Li Chunhua contacted Long Haoran before placing down the mummy and stomping on it.

Seeing her unscathed and without injuries through the screen, Long Haoran resumed operating the trebuchet.

After another the 3 minutes the monsters were wiped out except for one.

[1/2500]

A burst of cheers erupted in each sides.

"Quickly help me pick the loots! Prioritize the stones, arrows and whatever you can throw!" Every leader ordered.

Li Chunhua tied the Ghoul to the foot of the ballista before helping her teammates. She jumped down.

Everyone covered their noses with a cloth.

Thankfully, the remains and corpses of the ghouls would be gone after they were dead otherwise it would harder to pick them without vomiting.

[You’ve got a unit of stone...+1...+1...+1...+1]

[You’ve got white-quality dagger...+1...+1...+1...+1]

[You’ve got copper-quality dagger...+1...+1...+1...+1]

[You’ve got bronze-quality dagger...+1...+1...+1...+1]

[You’ve got a unit of wood...+1...+1...+1...+1]

Those natives including Siri, Elga, and the three gluttons went to inspect the traps, checking which ones survived the explosions and can still be used in the next round.

[Palisades X56]

[Punjabi Box Traps X35]

From 200, only 35 remained due to mud covering the hole, some were smashed to smithereens, and the rest through the little chuckies’ explosions.

Some of the spikes in trench were also damaged.

[Vine Entanglement X150 meters]

After roaming outside the territory for 20 minutes, everyone heard a sound.

[Warning: If you are unable to finish the Tide before 12 MN, you are bound to stay in the Death Zone forever.]

[Progress: 2/6]

6 waves?

Li Chunhua, Long Haoran, and the other players checked the time, [7: 34 p.m.]

4 more tides in 4 and half hour?

Everyone realized the gravity of the matter and hurried their actions.

After gathering and repairing enough, they went inside. They rested for another 10 minutes to recover the lost stamina.

"Ready!" Li Chunhua shouted in the screens and to her teammates. At their nods, she killed the ghoul.

[Second Wave cleared!]

[Third Wave Incoming.]

The portal shone and countless tall figures in shaped of humans emerged.

[Welcome the pests of the Space!]

[Monster Population: 5000/5000]

Space?

Is this a joke?

Is not a monster from this world?

What kind of pests is it? Locust? Flies?

"Master, can you see them?" Siri instantly inquired.

Li Chunhua narrowed her eyes and increased the field of her vision.

[Xeno-humanoid Zerg level 7- (HP: 700/700)]

[Xeno-humanoid Zerg level 8- (HP: 800/800)]

[Xeno-humanoid Zerg level 9- (HP: 1000/ 1000)]

"What are these guys?" Li Chunhua mumbled in confusion. She quickly told the other about it and Siri had the biggest reaction.

"They are truly pests. These Xeno-humanoids are like pirates or terrorists. They invade newly-evolved civilizations and slaughter all inhabitants on it to plunder the energy resources of the planets. If their body structures are the same to the ones I know, they have some resistance to physical damage."

"But they aren’t invulnerable right? They can still be killed?" Li Chunhua smiled.

"Yes, you just need to blast them off with magic or beat them until they forget their ancestry." Siri replied.

"Let’s go!"

[Third Round: Pests Vs Salted Fishes]

In the Main Game Planet, all territories were also facing the same monster.

[Xeno-humanoid Zerg level 3- (HP: 400/400)]

[Xeno-humanoid Zerg level 4- (HP: 450/450)]

[Xeno-humanoid Zerg level 5- (HP: 500/500)]

In the Falcon Squad’s Territory, Li Jingnan’s memories of fighting these guys resurfaced in his head.

"Shoot flame arrows! Mage, summoners and archers with magic-imbued skills be prepared!"

"Warriors defend the long-ranged!"

"Yes, Captain!"
