Chapter 262: Does Dad Have a Way?

"This won't work if we keep going like this!"

Su Sheng frowned at the remaining demon soldiers: "At this pace, in 120 minutes we simply can't clear these demon soldiers."

"Let's start spawning monsters, then we'll clear them while we think of a solution." Lin Huan also frowned in thought.

As for Su Ba Su Wenhao, he glanced at his off-hand weapon, wanting to say something but holding back.

"Good!"

Su Sheng nodded upon hearing that.

We can only do this for now.

Afterwards Lin Huan continued to nock arrows and spawn monsters!

There are still 200+ low-level demon soldiers.

There's no way to break the stalemate; although Su Sheng has some burst abilities, they only last a few minutes of burst time.

Su Sheng didn't think his few minutes of burst time could clear so many demon soldiers.

We can only clear monsters step by step for now.

It's better than doing nothing at all.

Next, everyone continued killing monsters at the previous pace.

However, this time the lion-like beast Xiao Jia Huo was also ordered by Su Sheng to help fight monsters.

After all, in this situation, any extra damage could become the crucial turning point.

The fiery red little sparrow on Li Wenwan's shoulder was also vigorously spitting flames, helping with damage.

However, the frequent critical hits from the lion-like beast's output even matched Su Ba Su Wenhao's! The crit rate is too high!

Everyone couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jia Huo; compared to Li Wenwan's fire-eating sparrow, it seemed somewhat lackluster, even though the fire-eating sparrow has a very high chance to inflict burn on those demon soldiers, even higher than Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame probability.

Moreover, Phoenix Flame and burn complement each other to achieve an effect greater than the sum of their parts, forming a new Immolation debuff that drains up to 300 HP per second, lasting 5 seconds.

Even with the two pets added, the lion-like beast's performance is especially outstanding, but clearing a squad of five demon soldiers still takes seven or eight minutes.

Calculating this way, we still can't clear all the demon soldiers within two hours.

While clearing monsters, Su Sheng also observed the surroundings, trying to find a breakthrough point.

But the surroundings are almost a flat red-black floor, with only a huge black pillar in the middle; otherwise it's just a sea of demon soldiers.

In this environment, Su Sheng really couldn't think of any breakthrough method; a headache was inevitable.

The Iron Hammer Dwarf behind them obviously also saw the predicament of Su Sheng and company.

In this situation, it's obvious that Su Sheng and his group cannot clear these demon soldiers in a short time.

Just like that, an hour passed.

However, the number of demon soldiers is still over a hundred, close to two hundred.

In one hour they only managed to clear 40+ demon soldiers.

It's like a drop in the bucket.

A glance at the system's countdown showed 63 minutes remaining.

Su Sheng secretly felt anxious.

"Keep spawning monsters!" Su Sheng shouted, slashing the low-level demon soldier in front of him with a sword, racing against time.

Do what we can and leave the rest to fate!

If it really doesn't work, I'll burst again and kill as many as I can.

Su Sheng felt somewhat helpless; if this continues, Zhuque City might run into big trouble, and my Divine Artifact might be lost—but losing it wouldn't be the end, since the materials are still there; once I reach level 80 and get to Huangcheng, I can think about forging it again.

But Zhuque City...

Who knows what changes will happen; anyway, something weird is bound to occur!

However, when the countdown hit 60 minutes, some event should have been triggered.

"Explorer! We're here to help you!"

Only then did the dwarf squad seem to notice Su Sheng and company's predicament, as the Iron Hammer Dwarf directly called out.

Then the ten dwarves simultaneously put down the bamboo baskets on their backs and pulled out.... blunderbusses!

Pop-pop-pop~

Nine dwarves holding blunderbusses stood behind Su Sheng and company, firing at those demon soldiers.

The smell of gunpowder crackled in the air.

Su Sheng stared, dumbfounded.

Is this the "Adult Era Change"?

However, although it looks pretty cool, the damage....

-34

-51

-49

Su Sheng looked at the dense barrage; not a single hit broke three-digit damage, leaving him speechless.

Forget it; you'd better rest. No wonder they were driven out of their mines by a single giant demon earlier— their combat strength really is just this?

The only thing still noteworthy is the Iron Hammer Dwarf.

The other nine dwarf lackeys each had a blunderbuss, popping away.

Only the Iron Hammer Dwarf had no blunderbuss; instead, he pulled out chunk after chunk from his bamboo basket and threw them.

Upon hitting those demon soldiers!

With a boom, they exploded.

This is...

Explosive pack?!?!

Power is still okay.

Fixed damage 1500.

Whether blowing up low-level demons or ordinary demons, all deal 1500 damage.

But this help is also useless, and there are still so many demons, close to 30+ groups of 150+ in number.

Adding this bit of dwarf damage is also insignificant.

Keep fighting monsters!

What else can we do otherwise?

Countdown.. 40 minutes.

The number of demons is still 100+.

Can't clear them.

Su Sheng frowned, really too hasty after all?

The Divine Artifact-related quest is truly not that simple.

Su Sheng felt gloomy.

Lin Huan, Li Wenwan, and others also felt somewhat disheartened.

After all this hard work on the task, do we still have to fail?

"Um... Ah Sheng."

At this moment, Su Ba spoke softly.

"Ah, Dad, what's wrong?" Su Sheng turned back and glanced at his dad.

"If we keep this pace, we probably can't clear these monsters, right?" Su Ba asked.

"Yeah." Su Sheng nodded helplessly: "I should have expected it; the Divine Artifact-related quest couldn't be this simple."

"Maybe I have a method; since we're going to fail anyway, why not let me try?" Su Ba tried to say.

At first, Su Ba wanted to say it.

But Su Ba wasn't entirely sure it would work; now it seems Su Sheng has no other option, so why not give it a try.

"Alright, Dad, go ahead." Su Sheng hesitated a moment, Dad has a plan?

The monsters on the field still number 130+.

What could my dad possibly do?

The girls also looked curiously at Su Ba, wondering what he could do.

"Um, Ah Sheng, like you did with those level 60 monsters before, can you gather all these scattered demons together?" Su Ba looked at Su Sheng and said.

Su Sheng blinked, gather monsters?

It's not impossible, just needs a bit of time.

Anyway, better to let Dad try than fail like this.

"Alright! Dad, wait a moment!"

"Iron Hammer Master, stop attacking! We might have a way to solve this!"

Meanwhile, to keep aggro and pull monsters, Su Sheng had the dwarves also stop attacking.

These dwarves are highly intelligent; Iron Hammer immediately commanded them to halt.

Afterward, Su Sheng no longer hesitated and trusted his dad once!

Lion Hunt!

Hunting stance!

To gather all these over-a-hundred monsters, we need to rely on the speed of the hunting stance!

Agility surged 1800+!

Su Sheng charged straight out!
