Chapter 73: By One's Own Strength!
Hoo~
The Dragon Twister blew up, and the Gale Wind Technique appeared again.
Xiao Feng bore the Earth Element Shield, deliberately charging into the depths of the monster pile, so that monsters filled every direction around him.
Then, in this "most dangerous" place, he unleashed his ultimate skill!
Swish~
With a gust of wind, within a radius of 120 meters, almost all monsters died in an instant.
Within such a huge range, the number of monsters was simply countless, numbering in the tens of thousands!
And only he gained the experience!
The experience bar rose visibly by a large chunk.
In just one second, he gained nearly 1,000,000 experience points!
"Charge!"
The Gale Wind Technique still had 4 seconds left; he didn't want to waste this skill, so he quickly rushed forward.
The Dragon Twister moved and advanced with his steps.
In four seconds he advanced thirty meters, sweeping away another wave of small monsters.
Outside the East City Wall, a clearing opened up, the ground covered with silver coins, gold coins, and ordinary equipment.
But there were still many, many monsters, and they soon respawned.
The nearby region's channel displayed a system message: only the 12th wave of monsters has arrived, out of 24 total waves, still very early!
Xiao Feng's huge skill range can temporarily ease the pressure on one side of the wall, but completely clearing monsters from a direction is still very difficult.
What's more, the base has four sides, and the number of monsters is beyond counting!
Bang bang bang
Many small monsters were attacking Xiao Feng.
With the Earth Element Shield, his health line could never be broken, but he occasionally got dazed, which was still annoying.
"If only I could use the Apocalyptic Natural Disaster..." Xiao Feng thought to himself.
His mana was only over 1700 points, still short of the minimum requirement of 2000, let alone sustaining the full Apocalyptic Natural Disaster.
"Forget it, I'll just rely on the small skills for now."
He had already used Gale Storm and Rain; the only ultimate skill he could still use was Meteor Technique.
But considering stronger monsters would appear later, he didn't want to use his trump card too soon, so he planned to keep the Meteor Technique on cooldown.
One minute passes quickly; first use Fireball Technique, Swift Wind Blade, and Lightning Chain—these three small-area damage skills—to clear some elite monsters and bosses, while normal attacks and Lightning Chain pick off small monsters, also providing a decent relief.
Sizzle!
Boom!
Swish!
Skills were unleashed one after another; although the scene wasn't as flashy as big skills, it was still a case of whoever got hit died, without exception.
The East City Wall, originally in dire straits, gradually eased with Xiao Feng's addition; after he killed all the bosses, it finally managed to hold.
"Old Li, heal me, I can't hold on!"
Zhang Fan, transformed into a dragon-person, was besieged by a horde of monsters over level 100, his health plummeting, and even an ordinary priest couldn't keep him healed.
Only after Li Li's skills landed one by one did his health barely stabilize.
"Everyone, hold on! Our supplies are arriving soon, with many large scrolls to assist in clearing the field!"
The Campaign Guild's Legion Commander boosted morale; members were all fearless, dying and respawning to continue fighting, refusing to let monsters advance even half a step.
The Campaign Guild is also wealthy; whenever a member dies, dropped equipment and consumed potions are quickly replenished, continuously supplied to members.
Even to meet demand, they contacted the Treasure Merchant Association for supplies, pouring in huge sums of money!
This monster siege must be held; otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted, the base would collapse, be reclaimed by the system, and everything would be for naught!
"Brother Xiao Feng, pressure on the east side has eased a bit; please go south to help deal with the boss, the brothers are barely holding on!"
Zhan Tian oversaw the overall situation, able to clearly see which side was under the most pressure.
Xiao Feng and his two companions entered the field; after a few large-area attacks, the east city, which had been under the most pressure, instantly became the least pressured place.
He couldn't help but admire Xiao Feng's strength, and quickly seized the opportunity to deploy this powerful fighter where he was needed most.
"No problem!"
Xiao Feng also cooperated fully; upon receiving the message, he immediately set out from outside the city straight to the south.
He didn't even need to enter the city; just charging forward with the Earth Element Shield would suffice.
Although he was occasionally impeded by monsters along the way, making his steps unsteady, it didn't take much time.
Soon Xiao Feng arrived outside the southern city.
A giant lizard over six meters tall was frenziedly attacking the wooden wall, even killing two NPC soldiers; now a level 150 NPC squad leader is helping to hold it off.
【Iron Armor Dragon King (Legendary Leader)】
Level: 160
HP: 3177828/7650000
This monster is very tanky; its HP rivals that of a mythic boss, and even with its attributes halved, it's still beyond what ordinary players can withstand, each of its skills dealing -1 damage.
Even if the NPC army's archers and mages kept bombarding nonstop, the damage would still be pitifully small.
"Xiao Feng the Great, this monster's physical defense is very high, its magical defense relatively low—it's up to you!"
The Campaign Guild's main damage dealer, Parkinson of the Star Hunter profession, was in the south, wielding an unranked legendary weapon and spamming skills, but his damage at most only three digits—utterly insignificant compared to the Iron Armor Dragon King boss's millions of HP.
Xiao Feng arrived nearby, without hesitation, and fired a Lightning Arrow.
Hmph!
Lightning flashed, damage surged.
The Iron Armor Dragon King boss that had just been fiercely charging the city wall collapsed with a boom, spilling gold coins and equipment across the ground.
160-level Legendary boss, instant kill!
"Holy shit!"
"Awesome!"
"Several million HP, and a single lightning arrow insta-kills it???"
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the gold coins and Epic Equipment littering the ground, completely stunned.
Even the one who thought his skills were pretty good—though his shaking wasn't Parkinson's—was frozen in place by the sight, shocked speechless by Xiao Feng's terrifying damage.
Xiao Feng didn't pick up anything from the ground.
Items dropped in the garrison defense battle automatically belong to the guild; no manual pickup needed, they'll be deposited into the guild warehouse after a moment.
He's an outside hire, not suited to take loot on his own; if he wants anything, he can ask Zhan Tian after the fight.
"Any more bosses? Have your mages concentrate fireballs on the bosses to guide me!"
After instantly killing the Iron Armor Dragon King, Xiao Feng shouted loudly.
The scene is too chaotic now, with battles everywhere; the light and effects of skills almost obscure the city wall.
Xiao Feng couldn't immediately spot the boss, so he had the Zhengzhan people help look for it.
"Fireball guidance?"
The legion commander on the city wall instantly understood, shouting in the legion channel: "All team mages, in ten seconds concentrate fireballs on the nearest boss to signal Xiao Feng the Great God!"
The cooldown of Fireball Technique is short; after a brief wait it can be cast again.
Upon receiving the order, all the mage players held back a fireball.
"Fire!"
With the legion chief's command, thousands of fireballs flew toward the several bosses outside the city wall.
Brilliant firelight exploded outside the city wall, making the several bosses' figures especially conspicuous.
"Received!"
Xiao Feng instantly received the signal, charged through the monster horde, and headed straight for the nearest boss.
"Fireball Technique!"
A super-deluxe version fireball shot out, triggering a tremendous blast.
In the explosion, the 135-level Epic boss blasted apart, turning into experience and reputation.
Xiao Feng kept moving forward, killing bosses along the way.
"Rainstorm Technique!"
"Windstorm Technique!"
When his big skill cooldown ended, he would also casually unleash his ultimate on the most monster-dense area.
These two 60-second cooldown area-of-effect skills can effectively reduce pressure on the city wall and clear monsters over a large area.
In just a few minutes, the pressure on the southern side was also subdued by him.
"Xiao Feng the Great God, hurry to West City! There's a Mythic boss over there!"
Zhan Tian sent another new message.
Hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but show delight, saying "Leave it to me!"
