Chapter 329: Death Castle (Part 3)

As Zhu Zhiquan's sword Qi was unleashed, the circular saw blocking the way was split in two, and many monsters were cut down along with it.

One half of the split circular saw flew into the ceiling, while the other half continued to strike toward the center of the squad.

Zhu Zhiquan knocked down the monster in front of him with his staff, then leaped with all his might and slashed his sword at the half of the circular saw that was about to fall into the squad.

The Five-Star Sword produced tiny sparks upon striking the circular saw; the immense force caused the sword to begin deforming, but it still pushed the circular saw to the wall, causing it to slide down along the wall surface.

Just as Zhu Zhiquan landed, Lin Ziyao and Chen Ligang cleared the monsters in front of him together, giving Zhu Zhiquan time to return his sword to its scabbard and then continue to kill monsters using the Jingtian Pozhen Gun.

Just after the crisis of the circular saw was resolved, several flowers suddenly emerged from the stairs above. These flowers unfolded toward the squad, revealing petals full of Spike.

"Take cover!" Ma Linlin reacted the fastest, immediately crouching down and shouting a warning. The others followed suit, crouching down with their heads covered to reduce their exposed area.

Swish, swish, swish—

Dense Spike were ejected, turning the players in the back row into hedgehogs. This was not the end; the Tree Knight behind, even while blocked by the corpses of their companions, could still condense wooden spears in their hands and throw them at the squad.

This made the situation for the squad, already heavily damaged by the Spike, even worse; many were beaten to the point of near-death by this combo, and even the squad's priest was injured, but he still did his best to rescue the near-death players.

The flowers on the stairs began to close after shooting the Spike, seemingly entering a cooldown period, but the Tree Knight behind broke off the branches of the monsters beneath them, and with a light shake of their hands, turned the branches into new wooden spears.

Just at this critical moment, five more players rushed into the castle from outside, each of them holding a Quantum Pulse Machine Gun and strafing the Tree Knight at the stair entrance.

The Tree Knight, along with their mounts, fell in batches under this dense storm of bullets; afterwards, these five players quickly rushed toward the stair entrance, preparing to open a path for the squad responsible for the decapitation strike.

However, at this moment, a large number of Vine suddenly extended downward from the walls of the hall, and the five players holding Quantum Pulse Machine Guns immediately turned to fire.

A large number of bullets broke all these Vine like raindrops, but at the same time, they released a bright green smoke that spread throughout the entire hall.

These fumes continued to spread at the wounds; the five players instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately split into two people to help clear the path, while two people were responsible for strafing these spreading Vine.

The last person took a bottle of blue potion from their Space Necklace and then threw it toward the dissipating smoke.

These fumes began to dissipate upon touching the potion, and shrill screams came from the smoke, making me shudder involuntarily.

The two machine gunners who rushed to the stairs arrived at the front of the squad, their two machine guns strafing, and the powerful bullets quickly cleared the monsters in the stairs.

However, many monsters still ran down from the stairs above, and the two machine gunners pulled their triggers, instantly turning this group of monsters into a sieve.

With the addition of the two machine gunners, the decapitation squad began to move up along the stairs, and the monsters and traps along the way were basically all resolved by the machine gunners.

Zhu Zhiquan also finally had time to reload his Quantum Pulse Machine Gun, then stepped in while the two machine gunners were reloading.

The castle stairs wound upward as if they had no end, and not a single room was encountered during this time; if it weren't for the different traps on the stairs, everyone would have suspected they were trapped in the stairs.

After Chen Ligang let out a curious sound, he leaned over to the two machine gunners and asked, "You two, how is the situation outside?"

One machine gunner replied, "Now the players outside the castle are starting to build a defensive line at the castle gate to resist the countless Plant Monster."

"Not only that, everyone is now following the command of a woman named Zhao Yuxin; this machine gun and this Space Necklace were both provided to us by her," the other machine gunner added.

Hearing the name Zhao Yuxin, Chen Ligang gently nudged Zhu Zhiquan, "Brother, I didn't expect your wife to be quite capable!"

Zhu Zhiquan did not respond to his words; after finishing reloading the Quantum Pulse Machine Gun, he put it back into the Space Necklace, revealing an expression of 'don't touch me'.

The player holding the Skull Staff saw that Zhu Zhiquan did not speak from beginning to end, and could not help but say impatiently, "Hey, you there, you should at least respond to others when they talk to you."

"It's one thing that you haven't communicated since entering the castle, but when someone asks you something, you should at least answer!"

Faced with this player's dissatisfaction, Zhu Zhiquan still maintained a cold expression, his eyes constantly searching for any location where traps or mechanisms might still appear.

"You..."

"Alright, alright, Bao Erjialuo, there's no need to bicker with this mute; let's just kill the World Boss first." A black player wearing iron armor pulled this player holding the Skull Staff and kept persuading him.

Bao Erjialuo snorted coldly, then aimed his staff at the monster corpses on the ground. Immediately, a stream of Magic Power was injected into these corpses, causing a mark to gradually emerge on their bodies.

Bao Erjialuo whispered an incantation, and the marks on the corpses began to spread over their entire bodies, finally standing up again at his command.

Then Bao Erjialuo sat on a monster that looked like a tiger and walked toward the top of the stairs with the others.

As for the previously injured players, they were taken out of the castle by the three machine gunners below. After several wounded were treated, the three machine gunners brought two more players back to the castle.

But as soon as they returned to the castle hall, a heavy metal door suddenly descended at the castle gate, and the five players immediately felt that something was wrong.

The next second, a large number of Vine spread from the cracks in the walls, and at the same time, several more Tree Knight fell from the previous breach to the ground, kicking up a lot of dust.

Subsequently, these five players all took out their Quantum Pulse Machine Guns from their Space Necklaces to fire, and from time to time threw Magic Potion to clear the smoke overflowing from the Vine.

But this time the monsters fell like a rainstorm, their ammunition was constantly being consumed, and there was a possibility of being submerged by monsters at any time.

Seeing that they were at risk of being wiped out, their faces were covered with anxiety and anger. After all, no one expected that this group of monsters had not used their full strength before, and no one expected that there was a hidden door at this castle entrance.

However, this time there was no infighting among the players, because all the players who entered had long been prepared to die; the Quantum Pulse Machine Guns in their hands were constantly roaring, killing the approaching monsters one by one.

But the number of monsters was simply too large, and with long-range units like the Tree Knight, someone in the five-person group in the hall was soon injured.

But that injured player, even if pierced by a wooden spear, still wanted to vent his anger, and at the same time, he edited a message on the World Channel.

After repeatedly confirming, he sent the message out, and then he roared and walked slowly toward the position where there were the most monsters.

The surrounding monsters saw that he dared to approach them alone and felt provoked, so they launched a charge against the strafing of the machine guns.

Dense bullets harvested one monster after another until everyone's bullets were exhausted, and only then did they rush to the side of the player who dared to approach them.

Just as their claws and wooden spears were about to touch this player, the player opened his jacket, revealing the bomb hidden on his body.
