Chapter 44: Tank in Front, Assassin Behind
The battle soon ended.
More than half of the players suffered casualties.
Finally, they won this battle!
While cheering excitedly, the players quickly divided the loot.
【You killed a Yellow Turban Headless Fiend Soldier, Essence 500, Abyssal Magic Stone Fragnt 800, Yellow Turban Blood Sacrifice Talisman 5!】
【You killed a Yellow Turban Headless Fiend Soldier, Essence 500, Abyssal Magic Stone Fragnt 800, Taiping Talisman 5!】
【……】
【You killed a Yellow Turban Headless Fiend Soldier... Yellow Turban Army Headband 1!】
【You killed a Yellow Turban Headless Fiend Soldier... Yellow Turban Army War Bow 1!】
【You killed a Yellow Turban Headless Fiend Soldier... Yellow Turban Army Spear 1!】
“Damn!”
“So aweso!”
“Elites are really different.”
“Even the experience points are so generous!”
Each Level 3 Elite would yield up to 500 points of Essence, and this wave altogether harvested nearly ten thousand Essence energy, plus more than 16,000 Abyssal Magic Stone Fragnts.
Even ignoring equipnt drops, this was already a massive profit!
“I leveled up!”
After absorbing the Essence, Black-Eyed Rui Ge officially beca the first player to reach Level 6.
Ye Li ng, Lone Boat, and Mad Blade Old Wang were also close to Level 6.
Chira Wraith, Street Slayer, and Salted Fish Thrust leveled up to Level 5.
Now there was one Level 6 player and seven Level 5 players, giving the entire Calamity Army a considerable boost in strength.
“Be careful!”
“There are still enemies!”
“The battle isn’t over yet!”
The players had no ti to check their loot.
A figure dressed like a Han Dynasty eunuch, exuding a gloomy and chilling aura wrapped in Abyssal miasma, slowly walked out from the forest.
Although his steps looked slow, every few steps he would transform into black mist and teleport a short distance, so in no ti, he appeared not far in front of everyone.
“It’s Xu Feng!”
“Everyone, be careful!”
“He’s the BOSS from He Ting Village!”
“His movent speed and attack speed are extrely fast!”
“The final BOSS is finally appearing? That ans this mission is nearing its end!”
Street Slayer said: “No wonder so many Yellow Turban Fiends appeared. Turns out all these monsters ca from He Ting. Looks like this guy is the mastermind behind the monster siege.”
Most of the players had read the posts by Chira Wraith and Black-Eyed Rui Ge, so they already knew about this humanoid BOSS.
They just didn’t expect to encounter him in a place like Hexi Village.
Xu Feng had been one of the Zhongchang Attendants of Emperor Ling of Han.
He was recorded in history but lacked much presence.
The only major event recorded about him was his participation in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Due to a leak, the secret operation failed, and he was ultimately executed.
“This guy gives off such a strong sense of oppression!” Player Little Brother Ma couldn’t help but complain: “If I hadn't learned in advance, I wouldn’t even have heard of this character.
A small, obscure figure has such strength, I wonder how terrifying legendary generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun must be.”
Glorious Years said: “Generals of that level are not sothing we can imagine at this stage!”
Human Cannon said: “Even Wushuang General Pan Feng could beat the crap out of you!”
Grey Wood said: “Heh, even without Pan Feng, soone like Xing Daorong could crush us.”
Midnight Pig Slayer laughed: “Hahaha, don’t belittle yourselves!
We haven’t even fought yet, how do we know we’ll lose?
If the developers release the Hulao Pass map, even Lü Bu, we’ll charge at him head-on!”
“……”
The players chatted and laughed.
Xu Feng felt very confused.
Were these Starsea Clan mbers ntally abnormal?
“Everyone, be serious. Although the mission is at its final stage, Xu Feng won’t be easy to deal with. We can’t let our guard down at the last mont!” Black-Eyed Rui Ge hurriedly reminded everyone when he noticed their lax attitude.
Ye Li ng also said: “Everyone, hold strong! Victory is within reach!
No matter how hard it gets, we must not retreat!”
Street Slayer gripped his weapon tightly: “Heh, even if this guy is strong, he’s alone now.
Looks like this fight is in the bag!”
Xu Feng showed a cold, emotionless expression, seemingly unfazed by the players’ words.
Since he had completely submitted to the Will of the Abyss, his human side had been continuously eroded and he was no longer easily angered.
Just then—
Chira Wraith took the initiative to shout: “Eunuch Xu, even though you are now imrsed in the Abyss, you still retain your mories, your thinking and judgnt. Rather than stubbornly aiding the wicked, why not surrender to our Lord?”
Everyone was stunned.
“Wraith Sister is trying to recruit Xu Feng?”
“No way? Don’t tell this is a viable option?”
“Who knows, this ga has such high freedom, any crazy move could be possible.
Anyway, trying doesn’t cost anything!”
“Yeah, I even want to romance the Lord.
If I succeed, I’ll beco the Lord’s wife and you all will have to serve !”
“Soone pee yellow! Wake her up!”
“……”
Facing Chira Wraith’s offer—
Xu Feng only coldly said two words: “Ridiculous!”
Suddenly, thick and filthy Abyssal energy surged around him, quickly forming clumps of dark red mist.
Finally, four ferocious and burly figures condensed before their eyes.
“What the hell?”
“This guy can summon?”
Four brand-new monsters appeared on the scene.
【Luoshui Butcher】, Level 4 Elite Unit... Introduction: Forrly elite soldiers of the Han army loyal to the court.
After executing Yellow Turban prisoners at the Luoshui Execution Ground, they mutated into horrific Abyss monsters due to Abyssal Corruption.
They stood just over two ters tall, bloated like overinflated corpses.
Their mutated flesh was the color of rotting at.
They had two irregular heads and four thick arms, each gripping a bloodstained broadsword.
The flesh of their arms had completely fused with the blade.
Chira Wraith said: “Indeed, Abyssal Degenerates are hard to communicate with!”
Chenxi said: “As expected!”
Based on information gathered over the past two days in Hexi Village—
Characters and natives in the Twisted Three Kingdoms world could be classified into three types depending on the level of corruption.
The first type were normal people, like Wei Ji, who had not been corrupted.
The second type were Abyss Walkers, those already corrupted and fallen into the Abyss, but who had not yet fully submitted to the Will of the Abyss.
The third type were Abyssal Degenerates, not only corrupted but fully devoted to the Will of the Abyss.
They retained their mories and personality traits but saw their past values and thoughts as immature, adopting entirely new beliefs.
Of course, beyond these three types—
There were also fully mutated monsters.
Or forbidden horrors.
This part was still not well understood.
Chira Wraith, Chenxi, and others were still researching it.
Xu Feng’s summoning of four new monsters caused an uproar among the players.
“Holy crap!”
“So disgusting!”
“Instant SAN loss!”
“Disgusting? I think it’s quite beautiful!”
“Monster enthusiasts are ecstatic!
But with this kind of model, it’ll be hard to pass official review in open beta!”
“……”
Salted Fish Thrust said: “This looks a bit tricky!”
Street Slayer said: “Scared of what?
Let’s just charge!
We’ve got free resurrection tokens anyway!”
Just as nineteen players were about to strike first, the four Luoshui Butchers let out deafening roars and charged at a speed completely unfitting their massive size, like four chariots crashing into the players.
“So fast!”
“So fierce!”
“Everyone, dodge quickly!”
The players didn’t understand the Butchers’ combat chanics.
When they randomly attacked with their weapons, they dealt only very limited damage.
The wounds on the Butchers healed almost instantly.
The four broadswords swung simultaneously like fully powered at grinders, achieving an incredible kill rate.
In just a brief clash—
Seven or eight players were killed.
Black-Eyed Rui Ge was shocked: “Don’t fight them in lee! Use magic attacks! These monsters are resistant to physical damage!”
Chira Wraith was just about to cast a spell when a black mist suddenly approached, and a longsword pierced through her body.
314 (Fatal Critical Hit!)
Xu Feng, moving through the black mist, swiftly infiltrated the rear lines.
He first stabbed and killed Chira Wraith, then imdiately followed up by killing Little Bell.
From observing the battle, he had already identified these two as the main spellcasters.
“Not good!”
“Wraith Sister and Bell Sister are dead!”
“Damn, this monster is smart!”
“He doesn’t just charge recklessly like normal monsters.”
Using his strange movent skills, Xu Feng actively avoided Lone Boat and Black-Eyed Rui Ge, who were trying to support, and successively assassinated Chenxi and Midnight Pig Slayer, further weakening the Calamity Army’s overall strength.
Without firepower support—
Without healing recovery—
With four at-grinding machines in front—
And a smart assassin flashing around in the rear—
How the hell could they still fight?
They had thought they had the advantage in numbers, but now the entire army was collapsing like an avalanche, once again facing total annihilation!
