Chapter 333: Bloody Battle (Part 2)
"Oh my DJ, how are we supposed to finish off so many minions!" a player complained while raising their weapon, preparing to strike down the flower-type monsters.
At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan rushed quickly in front of a large group of flower-type monsters and directly unleashed the skill Hell Lament, after which a Magic Wave dealt soul damage to all monsters within 400 meters, causing them all to enter a stunned state.
But this soul damage had no effect on Jiemodala at all, leaving Zhu Zhiquan with no choice but to grip the Jingtian Pozhen Gun in his hand and land a strike right on its forehead.
Jiemodala looked coldly at Zhu Zhiquan's staff, then used its staff to parry the attack and followed up with a headbutt against Zhu Zhiquan, knocking him backward.
Finally, it ordered the minions it had summoned to kill Zhu Zhiquan, but currently, its minions were still in a stunned state and had no way to come and provide support.
With no other options, it could only engage Zhu Zhiquan alone and soon gained the upper hand.
At the same time, this allowed the others to discover an opportunity, and they immediately split off a portion of the group to clear out the Treant Knights and another portion to deal with the monsters summoned by Jiemodala.
Chen Ligang and Lin Ziyao nodded to each other in tacit understanding, then attacked Jiemodala simultaneously from the left and right.
Jiemodala knocked Zhu Zhiquan away with a shoulder bash, turned its head to see two people flanking it from both sides, and immediately channeled its Magic Power to transform itself into a three-headed, six-armed form to face the two's attacks.
After Zhu Zhiquan was knocked away, a player holding a broadsword stepped on his shoulder and leaped high into the air, preparing to split Jiemodala open from above.
Jiemodala merely smiled slightly at this, raised its hand to shoot out several Vines to bind this player, and at the same time, these Vines embedded themselves into the player's body, greedily sucking the opponent's blood.
After being nourished by the blood, Jiemodala felt a sense of refreshment spreading through its body, and its originally decaying flesh began to become vibrant.
The bound player was able to struggle at first, but in just a few seconds, they felt dizzy and weak in their limbs, and the broadsword in their hand became incomparably heavy, eventually dropping to the ground.
Zhu Zhiquan wanted to throw the Five-Star Sword to save the trapped player.
But at this time, some of the flower-type monsters had already recovered, and upon seeing Zhu Zhiquan's action of throwing the sword, they immediately flew over to block the Five-Star Sword.
Moreover, because there were so many of them, Zhu Zhiquan was doing his best to control the Five-Star Sword, but he still couldn't avoid all the monsters and was even struck by a claw from a flower-type monster, shattering it.
At the same time, other flower-type monsters gradually woke up and began to pose a threat to the entire squad. This forced Zhu Zhiquan to activate Hell Lament once again, causing them to fall into a stunned state.
As the swordsman's blood was continuously sucked away, their consciousness began to fade, and just as their consciousness was about to vanish, Lin Ziyao cut the Vines in time, saved them, and threw them toward the healer in the back.
Beside them, a tiger-headed figure holding Buddhist beads appeared behind Chen Ligang, causing his strength to increase greatly, and with one hammer strike, he knocked Jiemodala back several steps.
Before Jiemodala could be surprised, Zhu Zhiquan elongated the Jingtian Pozhen Gun, and the tip of the staff, wreathed in a Thunder Dragon, struck heavily against Jiemodala's body.
Jiemodala let out a muffled groan and prepared to knock the staff off its body, but at this moment, a player dressed as a believer in the team opened a book and muttered something, then a cross appeared behind it, binding its hands.
Chen Ligang and Lin Ziyao immediately pressed forward and launched attacks on Jiemodala from both sides.
But Jiemodala was now in its three-headed, six-armed state; even if one pair of hands was controlled, it still had two more pairs of hands to block.
Just as the two's attacks were about to be blocked, the rest of the squad immediately followed up with crowd-control skills, making its other two pairs of arms unable to move, and in the end, Jiemodala could only take the two's attacks with its physical body.
As a huge crashing sound rang out, something unexpected to everyone happened. Jiemodala had actually managed to withstand it purely with its physical body, and even Lin Ziyao's twin blades hadn't cut through its skin.
"You prey have some strength," Jiemodala said, forcibly breaking free from the control, and then used its staff to knock down the two people beside it.
Zhu Zhiquan immediately brandished his staff and stepped forward, simultaneously activating the Nightmare Demon Eye to launch successive attacks on Jiemodala.
Jiemodala relied on its three heads and six arms to block Zhu Zhiquan's staff techniques and even found an opportunity to grab the opponent's weapon, wanting to counterattack.
But Zhu Zhiquan stomped his foot lightly, activating the Nether Cold Ice Spike skill, and a row of ice spikes rose from the ground, stabbing into Jiemodala's crotch and even pushing it upward a short distance.
This gave Zhu Zhiquan the opportunity to pull out the Jingtian Pozhen Gun, and he then seized the chance to knock the opponent flying with one strike.
The moment Zhu Zhiquan knocked Jiemodala away, the flower-type monsters summoned by Jiemodala also woke up and immediately split into a portion to assist Jiemodala and a portion to attack other squad members.
However, the good news was that more than half of these flower-type monsters had already been killed, and they didn't have much power left to affect the squad.
Some flower-type monsters rushed toward the three of Zhu Zhiquan, but the three were dismissive of this; those flower-type monsters were killed by the archer in the team before they could even get close.
The three once again surrounded Jiemodala and formed a pincer formation to launch successive attacks on it.
While defending and counterattacking under the three's pincer attack, Jiemodala's eyes also kept glancing at its Plant Monsters.
At this time, the Treant Knights and their shrubbery had been mostly cleared by the squad members, and the flower monsters it had just summoned were all dead.
The only good news was that other types of Plant Monsters had arrived one after another, starting to restrict the others' movements for it.
Then, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Jiemodala's mouth; it suddenly flew into the air and gripped the void, and countless large trees rose up throughout the room.
The branches of these large trees were all made of countless hands spliced together, and the trunks grew many mouths with sharp teeth, with a green vertical-pupiled eye inside each, constantly emitting eerie shrieks.
And as the height of these trees increased, that shriek became increasingly eerie, causing the squad members to feel physical discomfort one by one.
Although Zhu Zhiquan did not feel any discomfort, he instead felt only the thrill of encountering a strong enemy, and he then transformed this thrill into rage, causing the blood in his body to boil.
He then activated the Nightmare Demon Eye to search for Jiemodala's location, but at this moment, a monster parasitized by Vines attacked him from behind.
Zhu Zhiquan didn't even bother to turn his head, instead thrusting his staff backward to break the monster's spine, while also locking onto Jiemodala's location; he then leaped with all his might onto a branch and swung his staff at the opponent.
While he was swinging, the Jingtian Pozhen Gun in his hand instantly elongated by more than ten meters, wreathed in a Thunder Dragon as it smashed toward Jiemodala's head.
At this moment, Jiemodala was still channeling its Magic Power and had no way to dodge Zhu Zhiquan's attack. Just as the opponent's staff was about to land on its face, a gunshot suddenly changed the trajectory of the Jingtian Pozhen Gun.
Because the attack missed, Zhu Zhiquan lost his balance and fell from the branch. During the fall, Zhu Zhiquan shortened the Jingtian Pozhen Gun to match his own height while looking toward the direction the sound came from.
