Chapter 78: Realization, Thunder Chain Prison!

Inside the Magic-Drive Train, the passengers who witnessed this scene erupted into excitement once more.

"Holy crap... is this the coordination between Long Xu Ban students?"

"I heard they are freshmen, right? This should be their first time coordinating? Why does it feel like they are veteran teammates who have trained together for years?"

"Too strong... really too strong."

"Family, who gets it? A level 20 Long Xu Ban freshman is treating a level 30 beast tide like leeks..."

A young girl covered her mouth, her eyes full of stars.

"That little sister holding the big shield gives such a sense of security, that Ice Spear Warrior is so cool! And that pink twin-tail, is she a Priest? Are her buffs that powerful?"

Someone pointed at the figure at the very back of the formation, "The most ridiculous one is still that winged mage at the back, right? That damage output is absolutely explosive..."

"Yeah... this clearing capability, this dominance, simply unmatched."

"I feel like the combined output of those three girls isn't even half of Lin Mo's..."

"Be confident, remove the 'I feel'."

In the corner, a little girl clung to the window, her pair of watery big eyes reflecting the sky full of firelight.

"Mom! That big brother is so handsome and amazing! Even more handsome than in the comic books!"

The young mother held her daughter tightly, her eyes full of relief and gratitude after surviving the disaster:

"Yeah... that is a great hero, a true great hero."

The fear inside the carriage was swept away completely.

In this world, nothing makes people feel more at ease than witnessing a human crushing a beast tide with their own eyes.

As long as that figure stands in the air, this train is an absolutely safe fortress!

【Fireball looked at the corpses scattered everywhere and felt quite swollen with pride.】

【Fireball said proudly: Third Brother, Third Brother, I admit my single-target damage is temporarily inferior to yours, but when it comes to area damage, you can't even compare to a single hair of mine.】

【Fireball clicked his tongue twice: What's the use of only hitting training dummies? Actual combat is the only standard to test strength; you lost.】

"..."

Lin Mo's corner of the mouth twitched.

What do you mean you won?

This Xiao Huo's competitive spirit is too strong; Little Lei never made a bet with you in the first place...

【Earth Shield felt the big brother was getting a bit arrogant and came out to mediate: Oh, Big Brother, say less, we are all one family.】

【Earth Shield turned to Thunder Strike: Third Brother, don't take it to heart; Big Brother is just talkative. Why compare among ourselves? Properly assisting the master is our duty!】

However.

No matter how these two spoke, Thunder Strike showed absolutely no reaction.

【Fireball pouted: Tsk, playing dead? He must be depressed after seeing how powerful I am, right?】

【Fireball said disdainfully: Boring, truly boring; how lonely is invincibility...】

Lin Mo couldn't help but remind:

"Shut up, Xiao Huo. Little Lei is having a brainstorming session; don't make noise."

【Fireball was stunned for a moment:... Huh?】

【Fireball inexplicably felt a surge of unease in his heart.】

【But soon Fireball perked up again; Fireball believed that in the field of area damage, he was heaven!】

Just at this moment,

"Lin Mo! Here they come again!"

Han Mengyao's voice came through.

Lin Mo looked up.

He saw that the vacuum zone just cleared was instantly filled again with black masses of demons.

Lin Mo's eyes grew cold, and a curve rose at the corner of his mouth:

"Then continue! Kill however many come!"

Before his words finished, the coordination of the four resumed.

Chu Lingxuan opened the shield, Han Mengyao controlled the monsters.

Han Mengqing was not idle either; while maintaining the buffs, she waved her staff and cast small skills one by one, exploding the demons into a daze.

Everyone's sole purpose was to create the best output environment for Lin Mo.

At the same time,

Xiao Liu and two other elite guard members were rushing towards Lin Mo's side.

"Damn, fierce, so fierce..."

One member murmured, "This kid, exactly how many skills does he have? I can't even count them..."

Xiao Liu's face was full of excitement, his expression agitated:

"This is what you call output, this is what you call a Mage Lord!"

He glanced behind him at the hundreds and thousands of elite-level beast tide, then glanced at the two members beside him, speaking fanatically:

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"To fight side by side with a young master of this level is a glory that makes one's ancestral grave emit green smoke!"

"When we get old, this will be the capital to brag to our grandsons! I once fought life and death with 'That One'!"

"Brothers! Charge!"

"Yes!!!"

The two team members, infected by this emotion, roared and sprinted toward Lin Mo.

In the center of the battlefield.

Lin Mo cleared the area once again.

"Ha! I, the Young Lady, said so! With us joining forces, no matter how many of these fodder show up, they're just here to be slaughtered!"

Han Mengqing lifted her chin, her pink twin tails swaying gently in the wind.

"Hmm... mainly because Classmate Lin Mo is too fierce."

Chu Lingxuan glanced at the beast tide ahead, where only scattered demons remained, and smiled gently.

Suddenly,

Han Mengyao turned her head to look in another direction.

"It's not over yet..."

Hearing this, Lin Mo followed Han Mengyao's gaze.

Another wave of pitch-black beast tide was heading toward them.

And it was obvious that this wave of beasts was a full size larger than the previous demons.

They looked very hard to deal with.

At the same time,

three figures were sprinting toward them at incredible speed.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

Hmm?

That person... looks familiar.

It seems to be...

the one who was following Shen Yifeng before?

Soon,

the three arrived before Lin Mo and the other three.

"Classmates, you guys are way too fierce, aren't you?"

Xiao Liu, panting heavily, gave Lin Mo a thumbs-up:

"Beating a level-30 demon tide like they're your grandkids... awesome, truly awesome."

Hearing the praise, Han Mengqing proudly lifted her chin: "Of course! Don't you know who we are? Do you understand Long Xu Ban F4?"

Chu Lingxuan, somewhat embarrassed, blushed and stole a glance at Lin Mo's profile.

However, Xiao Liu didn't waste any more words; his Serious Demeanor returned:

"Classmates, now is not the time to be happy!"

"The real trouble... is here!"

He looked behind him.

In the sky, countless two-headed demons were flying.

On the ground, a group of half-orcs Wearing Heavy Armor and wielding giant axes were surging toward them.

And at the very back, even larger Giant Demons were following.

"This is..."

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xiao Liu swallowed, his voice hoarse:

"That is the War Giant's personal guard! All level-30 elite monsters!"

Saying this, Xiao Liu pointed to himself and the two team members beside him:

"The three of us are Agility-type classes; we're fast, which is why we arrived a step ahead of them."

"Those beasts, they all have that damn 【War Aura】, plus they are elite monsters themselves..."

"Simply put, the combat power of these elite monsters is several times more terrifying than all the ordinary demons just now combined!"

Upon hearing this,

everyone except Lin Mo grew tense.

A horde of level-30 elite monsters, already tougher than ordinary demons, now carried the 【War Aura】 that doubled all attributes.

It must be known that elite monsters already have higher control resistance than ordinary demons.

Under the suppression of levels, for Lin Mo and the others, they were practically immune to control.

And the reason the previous battles went so smoothly was largely due to the powerful control of 【Quicksand Domain】 and 【Extreme Cold Domain】.

But now...

control skills probably won't have much effect.

Once the first round of damage is dealt and skills enter cooldown, if the area isn't cleared or controlled, and hundreds or thousands of these berserk elite monsters rush in...

even if Lin Mo has 【Magma Battle Armor】, he probably won't fare well.

In the end...

the damage just isn't enough.

If the damage were explosive enough to clear the area in the first round, then there would be nothing to worry about.

"This... what should we do?"

Han Mengqing was somewhat panicked.

"Don't panic! Listen to my orders!"

Xiao Liu took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Mo and the other three, and said in a deep voice:

"The three of us are single-target DPS classes; we can take down these elite monsters one by one, but we can't wipe them out in a single burst."

"Only Lin Mo can clear the field."

"So, our goal is simple: create a damage-dealing environment for Lin Mo."

"Not enough damage? Then hit them a few more rounds!"

"In short, protect our own mage!"

"Yes!!!"

The two team members roared with red eyes.

Chu Lingxuan said nothing more, silently raised her great shield, and stood before Lin Mo, her gaze resolute.

Han Mengyao held her spear slanted toward the ground, radiating chilling cold.

"Tch... this Young Lady isn't afraid!"

Even Han Mengqing bit her lip tightly, ready to heal at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mo fell silent.

He looked at the backs standing in front of him.

There were classmates he had just met, and guard team members he had never known before.

At this moment, they used their flesh and blood to build the most solid defense line for him.

This feeling of being trusted unconditionally and protected at the cost of one's life...

Lin Mo's heart stirred.

"Not enough damage... if only I could clear the field in one wave..."

Just then,

【Lightning Strike】 looked at those approaching elite demons.

【They stood very densely, the distance between them... seemed to be within the range of lightning's leap.】

【Lightning Strike began to ponder the essence of thunder. Thunder is not only a sword piercing heaven and earth, but can also be a chain connecting all things!】

【If fire can ignite a prairie, then why can't thunder... weave a net?】

【Lightning Strike saw it; it saw a net, a death net woven from thunder with no escape!】

【Congratulations! Your skill "Lightning Strike" has achieved sudden enlightenment on the profound meaning of thunder conduction, independently deduced and successfully mastered the mid-tier lightning skill—Thunder Chain Prison (Lv. 1)!】

【Thunder Chain Prison: Releases a group of high-voltage lightning bolts. After hitting a target (including ricochet hits), the lightning will ricochet between all targets within a 5-meter range, dealing massive damage until no valid targets remain within the range! And applies the "Electrified" effect to all hit targets!】

【Electrified: The target enters a paralyzed state; damage received within the next 10 seconds is doubled.】

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Hmm?

Infinite ricochets, plus the Electrified effect, doubling damage received within 10 seconds?

It seems...

The damage is enough?
