66: Chapter 66 I'm Going to Beat a Hundred

Soon, a copper pillar slid in front of them, followed immediately by an explosion warning sound.

The next second, a Frost Spell descended, silencing the noise.

But immediately after, another copper pillar slid over.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yao's spell cooldown had not yet ended.

Jiang He immediately shouted, "Run!"

In an instant, everyone scattered to dodge.

"WTF, this thing can still move?" Blood Blade shouted.

Immediately after, the remaining dozen or so copper pillars in the hall began to move, rapidly chasing after them.

Just then, Jiang He ran back to his original position.

At the same time, the copper pillar chasing him also stopped.

After noticing the anomaly, he immediately shouted to his teammates, "Hurry back! Return to the starting point, and the copper pillars will stop chasing!"

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly and clumsily ran toward the starting point.

But the next second, with a boom.

Blood Blade was the first to return, but he had been blasted back.

As he lay on the ground, he only had a few hundred HP left.

Jiang He was startled and hurriedly switched to Healing Spell.

"Damn it, why is it me again? Why am I the one being blown up every time?" Blood Blade pounded the ground in frustration.

It wasn't that he thought he was particularly miserable.

It was just that even girls with weaker stamina, like Xiao Xue and Mumu, had returned unscathed.

Why couldn't he dodge it?

This made him feel like he was losing face.

At this moment, Zhao Yun walked over and nudged him with his toe: "Alright, we're all our own people, who would laugh at you?"

Zhao Yun naturally knew why Blood Blade was angry at this moment, but the irrepressible smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his true thoughts somewhat.

"Damn, then what are you laughing at?"

"Uh... did I laugh?"

"You laughed, I can literally see your back teeth."

After bickering for a few sentences, both sighed.

"Now we're in trouble. It'll be hard not to die this time." Zhao Yun sat down on the ground with a thud.

He had also noticed just now.

Xiao Yao's spellcasting simply couldn't be completed in time.

Before the second spell was ready, the second copper pillar had already reached them.

Even if she could force a second attack, the third copper pillar would likely have already exploded.

This was a dead end.

Unless they had more than five mages present.

And they would also need to pair it with Mental Potion to barely hold on.

Right now, where would they find mages?

They would likely have to die once.

Just as everyone was preparing to give up, Old Demon walked out and said in a low voice: "How about... let me try?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's eyes, but it immediately dimmed again.

They knew that Old Demon's skill was crowd control, with a duration much longer than Frost Spell.

But what was in front of them were copper pillar mechanisms, not monsters, so it probably wouldn't be effective at all.

"Let him try. It's better than waiting to die." Although Jiang He also felt the possibility was low, there was no other way right now.

Next, the group gathered to re-formulate a battle plan.

Old Demon would be responsible for area control; once any copper pillar escaped the control range, Xiao Yao would be responsible for containing it.

The rest of them would output attacks with all their might. If they died, so be it; there was no other way anyway.

Old Demon began to cast his skill on the spot, habitually preparing to insert his longsword into the ground.

With a bang, metal collided, and the longsword was bounced back. Only then did they notice that the floor beneath their feet was actually made of steel.

This shocked everyone.

"It's over, it's over! What do we do if the sword can't be inserted?" Blood Blade paced around anxiously.

Old Demon looked embarrassed: "Uh... so what if it can't be inserted? Why are you so anxious?"

"How can I not be anxious? How are you supposed to use your skill if you can't insert it?"

"Who, who said you must insert the sword into the ground to use the skill?"

"..."

"..."

Old Demon scratched his head sheepishly: "I designed that move myself. Don't you think it looks cool?"

"WTF, so you mean you can activate the skill even if you throw the sword aside?"

"Uh, theoretically, yes... but it's more convenient to hang it on my back."

"..."

"..."

"Damn it, don't hold me back! I have to beat him up!" Blood Blade swung his axe and got into a stance.

When they fought side by side in the past, Old Demon could always control the monsters' actions at critical moments.

This bought them a lot of time to kill bosses.

And including that badass skill of his, every time it was cast, it was a coherent set of movements.

First, insert the longsword into the ground, then press hands together and silently chant a spell.

This pose, these movements—they were incredibly cool.

At the time, Blood Blade had even envied it, thinking how nice it would be if he had such a flashy skill himself.

And now...

This f*cking thing was a move he designed himself?

"Alright, alright, let's do the important stuff first." Jiang He quickly came out to smooth things over.

Old Demon immediately cast a grateful look.

But immediately after, Jiang He continued: "After we leave the dungeon, we'll beat him up together. Pfft, he's so f*cking pretentious."

Next, under everyone's gaze, Old Demon didn't dare to have any extra movements.

He directly raised one hand to his mouth and began chanting the spell.

This action made Blood Blade grit his teeth in anger. So, the pressing hands together was also something he choreographed himself?

Old Demon's chanting required 15 seconds. Just as the time reached 13 seconds, he suddenly shouted: "Now! Go out!"

Everyone immediately rushed out upon hearing this.

In an instant, the copper pillars in the hall started up again.

But the next second, a golden light covered down from above.

All copper pillars instantly stopped moving.

"Great, it works!"

Immediately after, Bai Luoyao shouted: "There's one isolated on the right, smash it!"

Swish, a Frost Spell was fired.

Everyone rushed over, shouting as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

At this moment, everyone's anger toward the copper pillars had reached its peak.

In addition to using weapons to attack, some even used kicks, or cheap tactics like rapid-fire attacks.

However, anger can sometimes be a good thing.

The speed of destroying the copper pillars had clearly increased significantly.

Originally, it took seven to eight attacks to destroy one; now, four or five were enough.

Next, the group began clearing around the edge of Old Demon's golden light coverage area.

They learned that although Old Demon's skill was crowd control, the range would gradually shrink over time until it disappeared.

Therefore, it was most reasonable to start clearing from the edges.

If two copper pillars escaped the control range at the same time, one team would lure them away, while the rest would continue attacking in coordination with Xiao Yao's Frost Spell.

Every time Old Demon's skill completely wore off, everyone would run back to the starting point to rest.

Waiting for Old Demon's cooldown to end.

After three rounds of hard fighting, accompanied by a loud bang, the last copper pillar in the hall collapsed with a crash.

Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Blood Blade even raised his axe and roared at the sky: "Damn it, come on! I haven't killed enough yet, I want another hundred!"

With a clang, he kicked it.

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and shouted: "Stop f*cking showing off. Another hundred? Are you sick?"

As soon as the words fell, a violent metallic grinding sound suddenly rang out in the hall.
