Chapter 160:
A few days after the carrion craze, on the twenty-fifth floor of the maze,
in a dark cave, several adventurers were fighting to the death with monsters.
What they faced was a level four monster called "Grimaceous Giant Ape".
It was a huge ape that was more than three meters tall. It was covered with long black hair, its limbs were extremely strong, and the muscles of its lower legs and arms were as thick as a water tank.
It has a strange human-like face, with a protruding forehead and nose, red and tender skin with wrinkles like an old man's, and yellow fangs protruding from its lips, making it look extremely ugly.
"Hee hee, hee hee..." The ghost ape let out a weird laugh while waving a thick stone mace in his hand, whistling in the wind.
Many humanoid monsters in the maze will hold stone sticks, stone swords, and stone axes. These are weapons given to them by the lair when they were born from the rock wall. Their hardness is not inferior to the equipment made by outstanding craftsmen.
"Ah!"
the young dwarf roared, blocking the monster's heavy blow with the shield in his hand.
He is a stout man, wearing a horn helmet and sturdy silver armor. He is the forward of the team and is responsible for facing the enemy head-on.
However, facing a monster that was far stronger than him, the dwarf could no longer hold on.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Gui Yuan's stone rod hit the shield again and again, gradually smashing the enchanted stainless steel shield into a shallow pit and about to be damaged.
"I can't hold it anymore!"
The heavy force made it difficult for the dwarf to stand. He could only kneel on the ground and barely hold up the shield to support himself. His knees were smashed into the ground bit by bit.
Behind him are three teammates who are in poor condition.
Two orc warriors wearing light armor lay in a pool of blood, completely losing their fighting ability.
An elf archer wearing green tights and a white cloak pulled a bow and arrow, and was chanting spells with a pale face.
But her voice became weaker and weaker: "...the wind of light...sweep away my enemies..."
Finally, the spell was completely completed. After loosening the bowstring, dozens of phantom arrows flashed with green light. Flying out with astonishing energy fluctuations.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The magic flying arrows hit the head and chest of the black giant ape one after another. The flying waves rolled violently, making it scream.
However, when the light dissipated, the faces of the adventurers changed!
The ghost monkey only had some scratches on the surface of his face and chest, and there was not much blood flowing out. It was not even a minor injury!
"Damn it! Sure enough, even super-level spells are useless, and even repelling them is impossible..."
Before the dwarf could finish his words, he was kicked away by the furious monster, spurting out a large mouthful of blood.
It’s over!
Desperate thoughts arose in the hearts of several adventurers present.
Even among adventurers who are surrounded by danger, there are few who do not fear death.
They regretted entering the 25th floor rashly without further honing their strength, and even more regretted being accidentally blocked by monsters in the cave...
just as the giant ape was about to pounce on the adventurers who had no power to resist.
"Aww-aoww-"
A louder wolf howl came from the distance, and the distance was getting closer and closer!
"It's over!"
An orc lying on the ground smiled bitterly, "It's a large group of Sade wolves..."
Most of the time, the monsters in the maze will not attack each other, especially when there are adventurers. They will all pounce on them together, tear the adventurer into pieces and eat them.
"Rumble!"
A few seconds later, the dense footsteps of the wolves could be heard.
Through the entrance of the cave, you can see dozens of brown sand wolves rushing out of the woods in the distance, raising a large cloud of dust and smoke and rushing towards here.
However, the ghost ape does not seem to consider those monsters as his allies.
It no longer cared about the adventurers, but clenched the stone stick in its hand, turned its head and let out a sharp cry at the sand wolves, which was full of intimidation!
"There seems to be something wrong with those wolves!" the dwarf said suddenly. Dozens of zombie sand wolves with blood-red eyes and grinning mouths rushed straight towards the ghost ape. When the two sides got closer, a battle broke out immediately.
The ghost ape swung the stone stick, and the terrifying force smashed the three corpse wolves into six pieces in one blow!
But this pair of monsters that could transform into elements could not cause effective damage. They reorganized their bodies in the blink of an eye and bit the ghost ape hard.
More than a dozen corpse wolves swarmed up and knocked him down instantly, drowning him.
"Roar!!"
The ghost ape roared in pain, and dozens of small bloody holes were bitten through its tough fur.
The sound waves roared by the ghost ape turned into waves of magic power visible to the naked eye, shaking all the corpse wolves hanging on his chest into sand, making them completely unrecoverable.
Even the few adventurers who were hiding deep in the cave and watching the battle carefully were shocked to the point of vomiting blood!
Then it struggled to get up, sweeping back and forth against the wolves in front of it with the stone stick in its hand, trying to escape outside the cave.
However, waiting outside the cave were two giant white bears that were several times larger than it.
Amidst the screams, blood rained down, and the ghost ape was torn in half by two giant bears.
"...The Blue Bear of the Earth."
Several adventurers hiding in the cave stared wide-eyed, watching helplessly as the ghost ape was instantly killed by the more powerful giant bear, and its body was eaten by a pack of wolves.
After killing the ghost ape, the monsters left quickly, as if they didn't see them.
"These monsters...are not normal."
The elf looked a little dumbfounded and murmured: "They didn't eat us...it's as if they were controlled by a trainer." A
trainer is a person who tames monsters. Profession.
Tamed monsters can become adventurers' companions and serve as the mage's familiars and mounts. Common ones include unicorns, giant eagles, etc.
The elf wondered: "But I have never heard that a beast tamer can control so many monsters at the same time..." "
No matter how many there are, treat them first."
The dwarf motioned her to quickly treat the seriously injured companions,
"Maybe there is something on this floor. Something unusual happened. We need to leave quickly and report it to the guild. Let the gods’ families and the adventure group deal with it!" Only then did the
elf react and immediately healed the two orcs lying on the ground... …
In fact, it’s not just their area,
the entire twenty-fifth floor of the maze is as large as the area outside the Undead Mountains, and corpses are attacking other monsters everywhere.
During this process, some monsters were torn into pieces, and new monsters were constantly transformed into rotting corpses, gathering into a huge tide of corpses.
Thousands of sand wolves gathered together, mixed with some other types of monsters: one-eyed night owl, earth bear, spider banshee, ghost ape...
The army of rotting corpses formed by the transformation of high-level monsters gathered in a large area in the forest and grassland. The black aura shot straight into the sky, and scarlet light spread from thousands of pairs of bloodthirsty eyes.
Wherever they pass, any monster will become one of them, or food.
"Oh my God!" "Run!"
"Hurry and report to the guild!"
When the adventurers on this floor saw this terrible scene, they all panicked and fled upwards to other floors...
They were going to attend a classmate's wedding out of town. I need to take a day off tomorrow
