11: Chapter 11: Affection Level 90, Attack Possible...

The blood mist surged, and the hissing sounds of thirty or forty Rotten Claw Monsters merged into one.

Two Iron-Spine Wolves walked at the front with heavy strides.

Their scarlet eyes were locked tightly onto the Villa, and the iron spines on their backs glinted with a cold, chilling light in the blood-colored glow.

Lin Zhou leaned against the back of the door, an Ice Spike condensing at his fingertips.

Although he trusted the women, he naturally dared not let his guard down, just in case.

At the side door, Jiang Wanxing gripped an alloy dagger, her armor outlining her slender yet supple curves.

She took a deep breath and pushed her speed talent to the limit.

Professor Su Qinghan stood by her side, wearing armor over her white lab coat, her cold eyes narrowed.

She held her hands in front of her, and several Ice Spikes quietly condensed at her fingertips.

On the rooftop, Qin Lan had already set up her sniper rifle, her camouflage armor making her posture look tall and straight.

Her finger rested on the trigger, and her gaze locked onto the throat of the Iron-Spine Wolf on the left through the scope.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The intermediate Cloud-Piercing Arrow tower struck first, and dozens of alloy arrows pierced through the air.

Like a rainstorm, they shot toward the group of Rotten Claw Monsters, and in an instant, five or six Rotten Claw Monsters had their heads pierced, falling to the ground and convulsing.

The power of these intermediate Cloud-Piercing Arrows was naturally something these low-level Rotten Claw Monsters couldn't withstand.

The little ones who were headshot met their end right on the spot.

Those who weren't headshot were left convulsing on the ground.

The remaining Rotten Claw Monsters were enraged and charged toward the Villa like madmen.

They were also quite clever; some rammed into the main door, while others circled toward the side door.

"They're here!"

Jiang Wanxing's beautiful eyes narrowed as she let out a low shout. Her figure moved, and the alloy dagger in her hand precisely slashed toward the eye of a Rotten Claw Monster.

Her extreme speed was so fast that the Rotten Claw Monster couldn't even react; the dagger stabbed directly in, bringing out a spray of black blood.

The Rotten Claw Monster let out a shrill hiss, waving its sharp claws at Jiang Wanxing.

With her boosted attributes, Jiang Wanxing's speed was naturally not something the Rotten Claw Monster could catch.

Jiang Wanxing tapped her feet lightly, dodging the Rotten Claw Monster's attack with a quick sidestep.

Professor Su Qinghan followed closely behind, raising her hand with a wave, and all the Ice Spikes beside her shot out.

They precisely hit the abdomens of three Rotten Claw Monsters, and the freezing power spread instantly, freezing their limbs.

Jiang Wanxing took the opportunity to step forward, slashing repeatedly with her dagger, and in a few quick strokes, she finished off the frozen Rotten Claw Monsters.

A speck of black blood stained her fair cheek, only adding to her charm. She turned back to look at Professor Su Qinghan, her eyes filled with a smile: "Professor Su, that was great teamwork!"

Professor Su Qinghan nodded with a smile and condensed Ice Spikes at her fingertips again. However, when her peripheral vision caught a Rotten Claw Monster circling behind Jiang Wanxing, her pupils constricted: "Wanxing, watch out behind you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Rotten Claw Monster's sharp claws, carrying a foul stench, fiercely swiped at Jiang Wanxing's back.

In that instant, Jiang Wanxing's pretty face turned pale.

Feeling the chill behind her, she wanted to dodge, but it was already too late, and her heart constricted violently.

Just then, an Ice Spike appeared out of thin air.

It precisely pierced through the Rotten Claw Monster's head, its movements came to an abrupt halt, and it fell straight to the ground.

Jiang Wanxing turned back instinctively and saw Lin Zhou standing at the side door, a wisp of cold air still condensing at his fingertips.

"School Beauty Jiang, you can't get distracted while fighting."

Lin Zhou said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanxing's cheeks instantly flushed, and she felt incredibly embarrassed.

However, the fear from that moment had completely dissipated the moment she saw Lin Zhou, leaving only a flutter in her heart.

She bit her lip: "Got it, big boss."

[Detected that Jiang Wanxing has feelings for the host, favorability +5, current favorability 85!]

Hearing this, the corners of Lin Zhou's mouth curled up slightly.

It's already eighty-five?

Doesn't that mean ninety-five is just around the corner?

Tonight... I should be able to eat some meat, right?

Without thinking too much, he turned and looked toward the main door.

There, a dozen or so Rotten Claw Monsters were frantically ramming into the high-grade titanium alloy door.

The door panel swayed slightly but remained indestructible.

With a thought, he shifted the attack of the arrow tower toward the main door, suppressing the Rotten Claw Monsters' offensive.

And on the rooftop, Qin Lan took action.

She pulled the trigger, and a fiery red bullet shot out with a whistling sound, precisely hitting the throat of the Iron-Spine Wolf on the left.

"Bang!"

The bullet exploded instantly, and scorching flames gushed out, burning the Iron-Spine Wolf's throat to a charred black.

The Iron-Spine Wolf let out a deafening roar, its body struggling violently.

The iron spines on its back swung wildly, sweeping down a group of Rotten Claw Monsters.

Finally, it collapsed heavily to the ground.

The Iron-Spine Wolf on the right saw this and raised its head to let out a howl.

It abandoned ramming the main door and turned to charge toward the rooftop.

Its scarlet eyes were filled with rage, wanting to tear Qin Lan to shreds.

Seeing this, Qin Lan's expression changed slightly.

She quickly reloaded, but the Iron-Spine Wolf was extremely fast, reaching the bottom of the Villa in just a few seconds.

It pushed off the ground with its four limbs, actually leaping toward the rooftop, its huge body carving a hideous arc through the blood mist.

"Qin Lan, watch out!"

Lin Zhou shouted; he had underestimated the strength of this Iron-Spine Wolf.

Without any hesitation, his figure flashed, using his speed talent to dash to the bottom of the Villa.

He threw the Ice Spike in his hand fiercely, precisely shooting it toward the Iron-Spine Wolf's abdomen.

The Ice Spike pierced into its abdomen, bringing a wave of chill, and the Iron-Spine Wolf's movements stalled for an instant.

Yet it still didn't stop, slamming fiercely into the rooftop railing, causing the railing to emit an overwhelmed creak and deform slightly.

Qin Lan, being a soldier, naturally wouldn't lose her composure so easily.

Seizing this split-second opportunity, she pulled the trigger again, firing a second fiery red bullet.

It hit the Iron-Spine Wolf's throat as well, and the flames erupted again, engulfing its head.

"Roar!"

The Iron-Spine Wolf let out a final roar, and its body fell heavily to the ground.

It convulsed a few times before completely ceasing all movement.

Black blood and flames intertwined, emitting a pungent odor.

[Congratulations to the host for killing low-level elite Strange Monsters [Iron-Spine Wolf] × 2, obtaining 250 fortune coins! Killing Rotten Claw Monster × 32, obtaining 480 fortune coins!]

[Detected three women fighting in coordination, unlocking Villa achievement [Beauties Defending the Enemy], rewarding 2000 fortune coins, Villa defense towers can now fuse with Ice-type attributes!]

The system notification sounded, and Lin Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up at Qin Lan on the rooftop; she was leaning on the railing and looking down.

A bit of soot stained her face, but it only added to her dashing demeanor.

Seeing Lin Zhou looking up, she nodded slightly, her eyes filled with a trace of gratitude.

[Detected that Qin Lan's gratitude toward the host has deepened, favorability +10, current favorability 30!]

[Detected that Professor Su Qinghan saw the host protecting her companion, favorability +5, current favorability 40!]

[Detected that Jiang Wanxing saw the host protecting her companion, favorability +5, current favorability 90! Reminding the host, favorability has reached 90, ready for conquest...]
