Chapter 1554: Assault Squad

Inside the castle on the mountain, on the first floor.

Over a hundred witches were guarding here. Most of them were Tier 1 or Tier 2 witches, belonging to the cannon fodder among witches.

A strong smell of burning filled the castle. The castle gate was tightly closed. Through the glass windows filled with energy meridians, these witches saw the scene outside.

At this time, West Port had turned into a fiery purgatory. Some slaves who couldn't escape in time were swallowed by the flames. They didn't even scream; the third-stage Hades could burn them to ashes in an instant.

While the green flames burned West Port, they also formed a wall of fire for the castle. For some reason, the green flames couldn't spread to the castle. A golden band of light isolated the green flames, and this light also carried high temperatures; the two were devouring each other.

After a full half-hour, the green flames around the castle disappeared, and gray smoke and dust filled the surroundings, with very low visibility.

*Thud, thud, thud... *

Heavy footsteps came. Hearing these footsteps, the witches on the first floor of the castle gathered at the windows.

Wisps of white cold air drifted, particularly conspicuous in the smoke and dust. Under the gaze of over a hundred witches, a small mountain slowly approached the castle.

Some witches blinked in disbelief. Soon, they knew why that small mountain was moving. Below the small mountain was a very inconspicuous figure. It had horns on its head, a bull's head and a human body, covered in brownish-yellow fur, and wisps of cold air were spreading from its body.

Compared to that small mountain, this bull-headed, human-bodied creature was a little dwarf. Although it was called a small mountain, its volume was larger than the entire castle.

"That thing... what is it going to do?"

The witches at the window swallowed hard. Although they all mastered supernatural abilities, compared to the shocking scene before them, their little supernatural abilities were not worth mentioning.

"Moo!!"

The bull-headed, human-bodied monster roared and threw the small mountain on its shoulder.

*Bang, bang. *

After two air explosions, the small mountain in mid-air was hit hard, suddenly accelerating, changing from a parabolic flight to a straight-line flight.

*Boom! * The small mountain crashed into the castle. But in the next moment, this small mountain actually began to self-combust, turning into a large fireball that landed, eventually becoming a pool of magma on the ground.

"So that's how it is."

In the smoke and dust, Su Xiao tore up a scroll in his hand. If he wasn't mistaken, there were over two hundred witches inside the castle, and Tier 3 and Tier 4 witches were as common as dogs. If it were just him and Amu charging in, even if he activated Hunter Moment, he couldn't kill all the Tier 3 and Tier 4 witches in the enemy's defensive fortress in just 100 seconds. Moreover, there was a Tier 5 witch inside the castle.

Su Xiao rarely used Hunter Moment. The reason was simple: once Hunter Moment was activated, Su Xiao had to ensure all enemies were killed. Otherwise, after Hunter Moment ended, he would be severely exhausted, and any Tier 4 witch could put him to death.

The scroll Su Xiao tore up was called 【Elite Undead Summoning Certificate】, a rare item he had obtained in the Shia world.

【Elite Undead Summoning Certificate】

Quality: Legendary

Type: Rare Item

Effect: After use, can summon 3 Elite Undead. The Undead need 2 seconds to construct their bodies. After successfully constructing their bodies, the Elite Undead will exist for 12 hours.

Prompt: Elite Undead will possess special attributes and skills according to their type. Special attributes will be between 80 and 82 points, and special skill levels will be between lv. 30 and lv. 40.

……

【The Hunter has used 'Elite Undead Summoning Certificate', please choose the Elite Undead type.】

Su Xiao could summon a total of three Elite Undead. He had learned of the power of the Elite Undead in the Shia Temple, so he chose one Hunter (Ranged/Archery) + two Life Priests (Healing).

Three gray-skinned figures appeared. Their height was around 1.5 to 1.7 meters. The Hunter was a female undead. Her figure was very short, carrying a hardwood bow, and her face was painted with natural dyes, just like a mother leopard in the jungle.

The Life Priests were two old men, gray-faced and fanged. Su Xiao was indeed seeing such fierce-looking healing types for the first time.

After the three undead stood stunned for a few seconds, luster gradually appeared in their eyes, and they immediately knelt on one knee.

"You are Number One. You two, Number Two and Number Three."

Su Xiao designated the Hunter as Number One. She would charge into the castle with Su Xiao and Amu, responsible for solving enemies at a distance. Number Two and Number Three would be in a team with Amu; they only needed to heal Amu well. Su Xiao had Xiang Bubu Wang on his side, and he also had the recovery effect of Zhan Long Shan and the Ancient Secret Medicine.

Amu was the main tank, Xiang Bubu was reconnaissance + healer + assassin at critical moments, Su Xiao would charge into the crowd after Amu attracted firepower to reduce the number of enemies as quickly as possible, and the Hunter would shoot cold arrows from the dark.

The Hunter and Life Priests didn't need Su Xiao to control them; they had high combat literacy themselves. According to the introduction on the scroll, their special attributes were between 80 and 82 points, and their special skill levels would be between lv. 30 and lv. 40.

The actual situation was not like this. Under the bonus of Su Xiao's 96 points of real intelligence attribute, the special attributes of the three Undead all broke through 90 points, and their special skills were also between lv. 45 and lv. 50.

Taken individually, these three Elite Undead were three small bosses, especially the Hunter. Her defense was trash, but her attack power was very terrifying. Even Su Xiao wouldn't feel good if he took an arrow from her.

Skill 1, Archery Mastery (Passive, lv. 50): Increases archery weapon attack power by 157%, nerve reflex speed +27%.

Skill 2, Daughter of Death (Passive, lv. 42): Ranged attacks carry real damage of agility attribute x 0.6.

Skill 3, Barbed Arrow (Passive, lv. 36): If the arrow pierces the enemy, it adds an additional 50% penetration damage of this attack. Because the arrow has barbs, forcibly pulling it out will cause secondary damage.

Skill 4, Undead Power (Active/Passive, lv. 42): Arrows shot by the Hunter carry Undead Power. If three arrows hit the same target simultaneously, the Hunter can remotely extract the arrows from the enemy's body, causing secondary damage equal to the sum of the lethality of the three arrows, and carrying a rapid bleeding effect.

……

Clearly, Su Xiao had formed a castle-assault squad, with a tank, melee, ranged, and even a healing type. As for the control type, Amu could also serve as one.

In the smoke and dust, Amu made a charging posture, its hands pressed to the ground.

*Boom! *

Dust flew, and Amu strode toward the castle, cold air rising on its horns, charging straight toward the castle gate.

"It's going to ram the door, hold it!"

The witches on the first floor of the castle roared. At the same time, Tier 3 and Tier 4 witches all rushed to the first floor. This wasn't a dungeon raid where you could clear small mobs first; once the situation was wrong, almost all the witches in the castle would rush to the first floor.

There was one thing Su Xiao had always been unable to figure out: why did these witches all hide in the castle? If they fought in the wilderness, they clearly had the advantage.

This was actually Witch Queen Morisa's order. Anything in West Port could be destroyed, except for something inside this castle. This was the foundation of West Port. ===== CHAPTER 1555 =====
