The digitized data quickly reflected the data of those ghostly objects.

While the attributes were high, they also had talents and skills, far from what small fries like ghost servants could compare to.

"Brother Chu, why are you..." Guo Ming was puzzled as to why they had just climbed back up after going down.

"It's about to get dark, and the things below have lost the Slashing-Extreme Tiger's suppression and are about to break free," Chu Danqing explained: "Those ghostly objects are called Resentful Infants, and their strength is extraordinary."

"They can really beat Dabao to death."

From his rough look earlier, there were no fewer than thirty Resentful Infants.

Once they swarmed out, it wasn't a matter of whether Dabao could hold them off, but whether the two of them could survive.

So they could only retreat strategically.

"Resentful Infants?!!" Guo Ming clearly knew the origin of the Resentful Infants, and his face changed even more than Chu Danqing's: "Oh no, run quickly."

"If there are Resentful Infants, there must be a Resentful Mother."

After he finished speaking, the sky had already darkened, and he saw a hand with a dark complexion grab the wellhead.

The next moment, a Resentful Infant crawled out, its umbilical cord hanging down to the bottom of the well.

Dabao was the fastest, his claws swept across, tearing the Resentful Infant apart.

Then he quickly retreated, and more than a dozen Resentful Infants emerged from the wellhead, rushing toward Dabao like madmen.

Although Dabao's overall strength was stronger than the Resentful Infants, he couldn't handle the sheer number of them, and for a time, he was naturally outnumbered.

And not all the Resentful Infants targeted Dabao; two Resentful Infants noticed Chu Danqing and Guo Ming.

They dragged their long umbilical cords and crawled toward the two of them on all fours.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing decisively released the energy link to summon the repeating crossbowmen.

The Resentful Infants didn't dodge but opened their mouths that spanned half their faces and bit down; this bite shattered the energy chain on the spot.

However, they stopped because of this action, shaking their heads uncontrollably.

Chu Danqing didn't hesitate and released the energy link again. This time, the two Resentful Infants didn't open their mouths to bite but used their thin bodies to dodge, rushing toward Chu Danqing again with undiminished momentum.

The Resentful Infants not only had higher attributes than him but also had talents and skills, so his small tricks failed immediately.

Therefore, he directly consumed his Mana to summon the repeating crossbowmen, and at the same time quickly took out the Cold Spring Shadow sniper rifle, pulling the trigger without detailed aiming.

【You dealt 7 points of physical damage + 4 points of ice attribute damage to the target, and caused a 3-second slow】

This shot hit the chest of a Resentful Infant, not only causing damage but also producing a slight knockback effect; furthermore, after the frost appeared, its forward speed dropped significantly.

The repeating crossbowmen didn't raise their repeating crossbows to fire the moment they were summoned but stood out without hesitation and threw a punch.

They punched the other Resentful Infant that was about to pounce on Chu Danqing, saving Chu Danqing from the attack.

Then they pulled out the Common-tier short knife at their waist and slashed forward again, further knocking back the Resentful Infant.

"Brother Chu, forty-eight Resentful Infants," Guo Ming immediately counted the number: "Their mother is not yet complete, so the umbilical cords of these forty-eight Resentful Infants are not broken."

"Just break their umbilical cords, and they will dissipate on their own."

Chu Danqing had this thought earlier, but before he could let Dabao confirm it, Guo Ming had already said it.

"Dabao, tear the cords," Chu Danqing translated Guo Ming's words into an instruction Dabao could understand.

Dabao didn't know what an umbilical cord was.

On the other side, the repeating crossbowmen followed suit, and the short knife in their hands slashed toward the Resentful Infant closest to them.

The short knife sank into the umbilical cord but didn't split it in two; instead, it got stuck in the cord.

The judgment subject of this umbilical cord wasn't the Resentful Infant.

On the contrary, Dabao's claws were not bad, not to mention the Ripping Claws skill.

Therefore, he slashed the umbilical cords of the two Resentful Infants.

After losing the connection of the umbilical cord, the two Resentful Infants turned into ashes while wailing.

Chu Danqing didn't take further action but turned around and took Guo Ming to run away.

The repeating crossbowmen were long-range summoned creatures, but that didn't mean they couldn't fight in close quarters.

If he stayed, he would be a burden.

"Dabao, find a chance to run," Chu Danqing instructed before leaving.

As for the repeating crossbowmen, it didn't matter; they could be summoned again if they died.

Dabao heard it, but he didn't choose to escape; instead, he fought more fiercely despite the many enemies.

Cutting the umbilical cord was equivalent to a one-hit kill, which was simply a good opportunity for Dabao.

But as the battle continued, Dabao's HP quickly dropped below 50%, triggering the Fearless state.

Following that, it dropped below 30%, and the Berserk state was superimposed.

He turned into a fighting machine on the spot, but because of his wild instincts and combat intuition, Dabao didn't turn to attack the Resentful Infants but still chose the weak point, the umbilical cord.

This was very bad; he couldn't trigger the lifesteal effect.

"You go first; take this for self-defense," Chu Danqing shoved the Cold Spring Shadow to Guo Ming and then turned back.

Dabao's HP was about to bottom out; if he didn't replenish it, he would really die.

"Dabao, drink the medicine!" Chu Danqing took out two bottles of Weak Healing Potion and threw them to Dabao.

Dabao, in a Berserk state, subconsciously received Chu Danqing's instruction and executed it, grabbing the Weak Healing Potion and drinking it according to instinct.

His HP was quickly pulled up, and he was gradually getting out of the Berserk state.

But Chu Danqing's behavior attracted the attention of the Resentful Infants, and one of them pounced over directly.

Chu Danqing turned and ran, but his speed wasn't as fast as the opponent's.

Looking back, the Resentful Infant leaped suddenly, pouncing toward his face.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a Cold Shadow bullet accurately hit the umbilical cord of the Resentful Infant, and the hit cord broke instantly.

The Resentful Infant's momentum didn't diminish, and when it landed on Chu Danqing's face, only a puddle of ashes remained.

Then there were eight more gunshots, exhausting all the Cold Shadow bullets of the Cold Spring Shadow.

Each Cold Shadow bullet accurately hit the umbilical cord of a Resentful Infant, not only allowing the repeating crossbowmen to free up their hands but also resolving Dabao's predicament.

Chu Danqing's face showed a look of "holy shit"; Guo Ming's marksmanship was too outrageous.

"Brother Chu, this thing is much easier to use than a bow and arrow," Guo Ming walked out with the Cold Spring Shadow, his face looking satisfied.
