Chapter 110 – Road to Survival (Part ①⑨)

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"Change in tactics!"

Jiang Wentao's low voice rang out.

"Sun-Ge, you stay out of this fight. Run to the right-run as far as you can!"

Sun Ruixing had no room to intervene in a battle of this level.

Sun Ruixing wasn't a fool; he nodded immediately and sprinted toward the right.

There were no Demonic Creatures there, and none moved to chase him.

Every Demonic Creature had only one target!

The Fourth Prince, currently held in William's arms.

"In a moment, we need to charge forward together. Wen Yu, you and William protect the Fourth Prince. Charge straight through and kill that Skeleton Frame. Chu Ziling and I will clear a path for you two and act as bait… You two, save your strength as much as possible!"

"One-Eye, hold off that Big Dog!"

"As for the enemies behind us…"

Jiang Wentao looked deeply at Monkey, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

"Monkey, I'm sorry…"

Jiang Wentao somberly laid out his tactic.

This was likely the best option they could come up with in such a short time.

According to Wen Yu's earlier assessment, the Bone Demon hidden within the swarm of Puppets could definitely use sneak attacks to take out William or Wen Yu.

A phalanx of nearly a hundred Puppets had become a chasm that Wen Yu and William could not cross alone.

Chu Ziling and Jiang Wentao's roles were to charge at the very front as bait, drawing the Bone Demon's attacks and clearing a path for the other two.

That meant the three Demonic Creatures behind them would be left entirely to Monkey!

Even though Monkey's Class and combat system were suited for dealing with multiple enemies…

Even though Monkey's combat quality was exceptionally high…

Even though Monkey's own strength couldn't be measured simply by level…

For a Level 2 Class Holder like Monkey, who was low on ammunition, to face three Level 3 Demonic Creatures alone-the outcome didn't even require thought.

"Understood, Captain."

Monkey quietly gave a military salute, drew two Guns, and charged toward the Demonic Creatures behind them.

"Move!"

Jiang Wentao roared, as if venting all his frustration, and sprinted toward the swarm of Puppets ahead.

Wen Yu suppressed the tremor in his heart, grabbed the dazed William, and followed closely behind Jiang Wentao and Chu Ziling.

At the very front, Jiang Wentao and Chu Ziling had already made contact with the Puppets.

His hard Knuckle Dusters lashed out rapidly, shattering the Puppet in front of him. Simultaneously, a violent explosion erupted from Jiang Wentao's fist.

This was a Skill Jiang Wentao had obtained at Level 3.

Explosive Fist (Rank C, Active Ability).

The power of the Explosive Fist blew the Puppet to pieces, while the aftershock of the explosion sent several Puppets behind it flying.

"Physical Attribute is roughly around 20 Points!"

Jiang Wentao's urgent voice called out, relaying intelligence to those behind him.

At the same time, Chu Ziling, whose fists were wreathed in flames, quickly killed several Puppets in front, clearing a path for William and Wen Yu.

Meanwhile, One-Eye had already entered a fierce struggle with the summoned Three-Headed Demonic Hound!

The fight between the two was completely one-sided!

Even though One-Eye's Skills were very powerful, the gap of a twofold difference in Physical Attribute caused One-Eye to be sent flying by a direct collision!

Then, the Three-Headed Demonic Hound ignored the group trapped in the Puppet swarm and pounced toward One-Eye once again!

"Clack, clack."

A series of grinding sounds echoed from its bones, and then, an eerie voice emanated from the Silver Skeleton's mouth.

"You idiot! Get back here and kill the target!"

The Silver Skeleton let out a hollow-sounding roar.

Wen Yu's heart tightened. If the Three-Headed Demonic Hound turned around and focused its attention on them, what awaited the group would be a bloody massacre!

However, the situation took a slight turn!

The Three-Headed Demonic Hound's pace as it charged toward One-Eye slowed to a halt. It let out a roar directly at the Silver Skeleton and, at the same time, hurled a massive fireball straight toward it!

The enormous fireball flew slowly, allowing the Silver Skeleton to dodge it easily.

However, one only had to look at the violent flickering of the flames within the Silver Skeleton's skull to realize that this situation was extremely embarrassing for it.

After spitting fire at its master, the Three-Headed Demonic Hound ignored everything else and pounced once more toward One-Eye, who had already scrambled back to his feet.

Clearly, this Three-Headed Demonic Hound did not listen to its master's commands.

Furthermore, its IQ was severely lacking.

This was perhaps the awkward reality for a Traditional Summoner-Contract Creatures always carried a certain risk of backlash!

"Retard."

The Silver Skeleton cursed in a low voice and made another move!

Hardening Skill (Rank C, Active Ability): Strengthens the physical defense of a creature's surface.

This spell was cast upon the creatures summoned by its Material Conjuration!

A flash of black light pulsed. Although the Puppets showed no outward change, the Class Holders trapped in the encirclement could feel that these things had become significantly harder!

"Die!"

Jiang Wentao gave a thunderous shout, throwing out another Explosive Fist that sent the Puppet in front of him flying far away!

Unfortunately, the gap in front of him was immediately filled by an endless stream of Puppets!

"Dammit, does this ever end!"

Chu Ziling cursed, condensing a massive fireball and smashing it violently into the distance!

"Of course… it never ends…"

The voice belonged to the Silver Skeleton!

Then, the Silver Skeleton waved its hand again!

The ground began to tremble.

This was none other than…

Material! Conjuration!

Nearly a hundred more Puppets rose to their feet amidst the Silver Skeleton's eerie, piercing cackle!

Endless! And! Unceasing!

With a grim expression, Wen Yu reached out and crushed a Puppet to death, but there were simply too many of them.

The group of four felt as if they were sinking into a quagmire, unable to advance or retreat!

"What do we do?"

Behind him, William's Moon Slash flew out rapidly, clearing a large swath of Puppets in front of him.

Then, another wave of Puppets stood up!

These things were simply impossible to kill off!

At this point, even Jiang Wentao was out of ideas!

"William, can you hurl me over there?"

Looking at the Silver Skeleton in the distance, which was currently busy showing off its power, Wen Yu suddenly had an idea!

William sized up the distance to the Silver Skeleton and shook his head.

"No, the distance is too far!" William told Wen Yu.

"Then, what if you add me to the mix?"

It was Chu Ziling who spoke!

Chu Ziling also understood Wen Yu's intent.

"Two consecutive boosts-we'll send Wen Yu over!"

Wen Yu and William locked eyes and nodded simultaneously.
