Chapter 184: Chapter 179 Oops, Missed the Shot_2

“`

“What did you find?”

Ying Xueji and her companions naturally noticed Lord Zi’s gaze.

“All kinds of abyss monsters, those guys are going to be in big trouble.”

Liyuan curled his lips, somewhat taking pleasure in the misfortune as he watched the new teams who had already made it to the castle gates.

“Is information about the abyss very rare?”

Liyuan casually asked while he arranged his phantasmal skeleton mages in a line, calculating the distance between them and the castle walls, trying to ensure their magic “Death Wither” could reach and crash against the walls from the greatest distance possible.

“Of course, the abyss is too dangerous; whenever an abyss rift appears, the news is basically sealed off, and the empire sends out powerhouses to quickly resolve the issue.”

“No wonder these scions of great clans, when facing the Abyssal Castle, can be so bold as to swagger right through the main entrance.”

That explained why teams composed of members of great clans were so reckless in storming the castle gates.

Liyuan’s musings were not yet finished when a sudden change occurred at the castle entrance.

Countless gargoyles flew out from atop the walls, swarming over the heads of the newcomers, and then began their dive-bombing attack.

Then, atop the castle walls, various abyss creatures started to show themselves, one after another, unleashing AOE magic spells that rained down on the group of newcomers.

In the sky, boulders ablaze with dark green flames, carrying tremendous impact, fell like meteors.

The “boom” of the meteorite impact echoed in a series of twelve explosions.

In the midst of massive explosions, debris scattered, dust billowed, and nearby newcomers were violently sent flying, their formation utterly disrupted.

And in the next instant, the meteorites that struck the ground shifted and sprouted limbs and heads, turning into a pack of infernal fires!

“The summoning spells of the abyss mages are indeed spectacular, conjuring twelve hellfire hero BOSSes all at once.”

Watching the hellfires rampage through the crowd, beating those new recruits until they cried for their fathers and scrambled for cover.

Liyuan suddenly found his mood lifting somewhat.

Looking on, the teams that had performed decently against the monster tide were now shattered in an instant by a barrage of hellfire meteors.

Even though there were a few who tried to reorganize their team members, their efforts were in vain.

Twelve LV80 hero hellfire BOSSes were not so easily dealt with, especially with gargoyles constantly attacking from above.

“Are we just going to watch?”

Wang Fatty, watching the new recruits cry and panic as they fled, naively asked.

“They chose their own path, and now they have to finish it, even if it means crawling on their knees, right?”

Liyuan had no intention of going to help. These guys had shown him ill will from the beginning, and it was clear they were never meant to be allies.

He thought it was already quite kind of him not to kick them while they were down. As for helping, he didn’t even consider it.

“As long as no one dies, it’s fine to let them suffer. Later on, we can take advantage of the situation to speed up our own strategy.”

The words of Ying Xueji were meant to suppress these people and then use them for their own purposes.

“Liyuan, how far can your scouting skill reach?”

She turned her head and asked Lord Zi.

From his ability to pinpoint the hidden location of Dragon Academy’s teachers, it was clear he possessed a powerful scouting skill.

“Within a two-thousand-meter radius.”

“It seems I’ve been played by you again.”

No wonder he had suggested a partnership – he wanted them to clear the minor monsters while he focused on the BOSSes.

“How could I possibly play you guys? With this frail body of mine, wouldn’t you tear me apart with a single word?”

Lord Zi never expected that even before the real battle began, the others would suspect that he had calculated against them.

“Are there many BOSS-level abyss creatures nearby?”

“Not too many or too few, I guess. In my sensing range, there are over two hundred creatures, all at least of the rare BOSS template.”

“`

“How about we split it fifty-fifty?”

“Or let’s just rely on our own abilities to farm.”

How could it possibly be a fifty-fifty split? Just considering the speed at which he farms monsters, those two hundred-plus BOSSes would barely fill the gaps between his teeth.

“Looks like you had it all planned out.”

Ying Xueji had chosen the conditions for the loot distribution herself, so now it was too late for regrets and too awkward for her to back out.

“How can you slander someone’s integrity out of thin air? Wasn’t it you guys who chose the cooperation plan?”

Lord Zi spoke righteously, leaving Wang Fatty beside him at a loss for words.

They were only a team of four. Even with the Skeleton Army, their BOSS-farming speed couldn’t possibly be that fast.

But the way Lord Zi spoke, why did it feel like they were the ones benefiting the most?

“Forget it, let’s just let you have this small advantage. But we must hurry and conquer the Abyssal Castle, or unexpected troubles might arise.”

Shaking her head, Ying Xueji started dispatching troops to support the city gate.

“Don’t worry, I don’t fancy hanging around the Abyss Rift any longer than necessary.”

Ever since arriving in the Abyss Rift, Zi Liyuan felt as if some elusive gaze was spying on his every move.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he investigated, he was unable to pinpoint the source of this surveillance, forcing him to remain vigilant while pretending nothing was amiss.

At that moment, there was another change at the city gates.

A sandy yellow turtle shell suddenly covered the entire battlefield, dividing it into two parts: the ground and the sky!

On the ground, a group of freshmen were being chased by Hellfire in panic, but they were gradually stabilizing their formation.

In the sky, thousands of Gargoyles blocked out the sun, occasionally swooping down on anyone daring enough to charge into the Abyssal Castle.

But now, all the Gargoyle assaults were blocked by that layer of sandy yellow turtle shell, unable to make a dent.

“A Large-Scale Battle Scroll, just wasted like that, damn they’re loaded.”

Zi Liyuan murmured, still expressing high praise for the scroll’s protective strength.

After all, he had three of them in his hands. These things weren’t cheap—25 million Dragon Coins each, able to cover a five hundred meter radius, forming a turtle shell shield that could withstand 20 million damage and last for a full hour.

With this turtle shell’s protection, the freshmen only needed to face the attacks of twelve Hellfires and no longer had to worry about a Gargoyle suddenly popping up and giving them a bonk on the head.

So they quickly reformed their formation, clear in their roles, with tanks dragging the Hellfires.

“It’s so handy to be rich, just like that, they’ve bounced back from disadvantage. Since that’s the case, I can’t be just a spectator, let me give you guys a little hand, but please don’t thank me.”

With an eerie smile, a Death Arrow imbued with immense dark energy was shot out.

It flew across the battlefield, avoiding Gargoyles diving for an attack, and hit the turtle shell.

The immense dark energy instantly engulfed the entire turtle shell, and the next second, the sound of it cracking resounded.

In an instant, the once sturdy turtle shell crumbled to dust and dissipated.

“Zi Liyuan, are you courting death?!”

Rage filled roars shot to the skies, with every freshman’s face as ugly as if they’d eaten feces.

“Oops, my shot went awry. I was clearly aiming at that Gargoyle King in the sky. Sorry about that, won’t make such a rookie mistake next time.”

His voice was light, with a touch of schadenfreude, immediately causing the freshmen to grind their teeth in frustration, yet they could only endure and deal with the Hellfire BOSS while keeping an eye out for Gargoyle sneak attacks from above.

“You really can’t keep your hands still, can you? Aren’t you afraid of getting someone killed?”

Li Fengwen’s face was filled with a weird expression, but his eyes betrayed a sense of appreciation. Everyone was an enemy now, so why miss a chance to kick someone when they’re down?

Not attacking them directly was merciful enough!

“Check it out, there are four people squatting at the bridge watching the excitement.”

Since the Hellfires appeared, four instructors had been hiding nearby these freshmen. The intent behind it was self-evident.

That’s why Zi Liyuan wasn’t worried about accidentally getting anyone killed.
