The moment the monster stepped into the range of the fire, fire broke out on its body, and billowing black dust spurted upward along with the fire.
They just rushed towards Jianguan with black smoke and burning fire.
This is the first time Rhodes has participated in the official war between Trorian and Darkness.
Although there were only thirteen of them, when they stood on the towering city wall and saw the endless monsters rushing towards them, a strange feeling could not help but arise in their hearts.
Bang bang bang.
Three loud bangs.
Three giant arrows shot through the air, crashed into the group of monsters, and tore the bodies of dozens of monsters into pieces.
Baywood, Raistlin, and Annabeth turned the winch, pulled out the thigh-thick steel cable, loaded a giant arrow as thick as two people, and adjusted the angle of the crossbow, which was half the size of a house.
Quasi-monster.
Abundant spiritual energy stirs in their bodies, allowing them to move this steel giant that is much larger than them.
Especially Annabeth, her petite figure is like a little flower next to this cold steel giant, but she can operate the bed crossbow as neatly as two burly men.
With the second round of shooting, a huge gap was torn open in the monster wave.
In Rhodes' sight, he could clearly see the monster's soul dissipating in the air as the body was broken, and a large amount of black smoke rose like thick smoke before dissipating in mid-air.
These monsters are far less powerful than the corrupt one.
The waveform of their souls is very gentle, and the true names formed by the vibrations of their souls are clearly visible.
"The Soul-Cowardly Demon".
"Ghoul".
All monsters are of these two types.
They are short in stature, with stooped bodies, black hair all over their bodies, long sharp claws and terrifying teeth, and ferocious faces. Their cloudy eyeballs flash with red light, and they have no sense of the fire igniting on their bodies.<
/p>
Their ranks are not high, and the spiritual energy permeating their bodies is relatively weak, and they cannot withstand the impact of giant arrows at all.
The only advantage is that there are more of them, but within the scope of the guardian fire, they burn whole pieces, and the number does not have much effect.
The monsters rushed under the sword barrier, and the giant wall solidified by psychic energy blocked the way. The breath it exuded caused the monsters to attack frantically.
But unlike the Corruptor, the city wall remains motionless, far less than the load limit of the psychic generator.
On the city wall, the students each used different methods to attack them from a high position.
Some use bows and arrows, some throw javelins, some open their five fingers to shoot energy bombs, and some constantly wave their hands to form huge wind blades, cutting into pieces of monsters.
There are also people who shoot with real silver bullets and throw thunder stones as if they don’t need money.
An Ye had to remind: "Rhode, real silver bullets are not reimbursable, and thunder stones are not reimbursable except for the city defense army."
Rhodes replied unhappily: "I know, I have money."
An Ye sighed: "Okay, don't waste too much, supplies are limited."
Rhodes was too lazy to pay attention to him. He loaded the bomb with one hand, shot with one hand, charged it with one hand in the gray bag, and threw the thunder stone with one hand.
As a single young man, he is extremely skilled with one hand.
However, perhaps due to the chaotic situation on the battlefield, Rhodes basically never obtained a complete soul, almost all soul fragments and soulless souls.
Why is this?
Rhodes frowned and recalled the text of [Dark Devourer].
Its star power is [Soul Erosion].
Did I not cause enough "erosion"?
Or if the monster is not killed by me in the end, I won’t be able to get the complete soul?
This can indeed be explained, but the Corruptor was hit head-on, and the final blow was definitely completed.
Why are there only soulless souls?
He couldn't figure out this issue for the time being, so Rhodes could only put it aside and concentrate on hunting monsters.
The battle did not last long like this.
Soon, the flying monster we saw earlier landed on the city wall from above.
Rhodes saw their names:
"Blade Demon".
These monsters are huge and bloated, their whole bodies are covered with black stones, and their hands are two huge stone blades.
However, the flames still burned on the stones, turning part of their bodies into black dust, rising with flying flame tips, like statues on fire.
Darkleaf shouted: "Combat in close quarters, protect the crossbow, Beowood, Raistlin, Annabeth, you keep shooting."
Under his leadership, the students turned around to fight the "Blade Demon".
"Be careful, the Blade Demon is a mid-level monster, monster type, demon attribute, with high defense and strong melee capabilities. Don't besiege them together! Spread out and use long-range means to consume it."
Although he said this, An Ye took the lead, catching the sharp blade demon's heavy slash with his bare hands, and then pushed forward with his elbow.
One blow penetrated its body.
Rhodes clearly saw that the monster's psychic energy was knocked to pieces, and its soul was also knocked out of a big hole. The remains of the sharp-blade demon fell down and turned into countless black dust. In an instant, only a pile of them was left.
All ashes.
The instructor is very strong.
When I saw him being chased and beaten by corrupt people before, I thought he was a weakling.
It seems that the corrupt person is really super strong.
The distracting thoughts passed away in a flash, and Rhodes quickly joined the battle.
His fighting style is completely different from instructor Anye or anyone else.
He did not approach the enemy cautiously as taught in any fighting method or combat tutorial. Instead, he walked over unprepared, covered in flaws, and suddenly took out his gun. With a bang, the Blade Demon shook violently and knelt down.
Fall to the ground.
I don't know when the right hand that turned translucent suddenly inserted into the monster's body. The moment it was taken out, the monster's entire body fell to the ground as if it fell apart and turned into black dust.
Clean, swift and fierce.
Not only the students, but also An Ye were shocked.
But in the fierce battle, no one had time to talk.
Huge blade demons kept falling from the sky, and the empty city walls were soon filled with monsters.
Intermediate-level monsters already have strong lethality. They have always been the main force in the monster group and are the monsters that kill the most combatants.

Although the members of the secret branch are all the best among the best, they still have little experience and their cooperation with each other is not skilled enough, so some people will be injured soon.
The command room decisively dispatched the emergency team, and the garrison chief, Gang Shou, joined dozens of combatants on the battlefield, and the situation quickly reversed.
An hour later, everyone finally wiped out the sharp-blade demons on the city wall.
The empty city wall was full of ashes of monsters, and the injured combatants were brought to the medical room for treatment by the logistics staff.
Since there are no professional medical practitioners in Jiangguan, they can only use ordinary medical methods.
Caramon is a battlefield medic and generally does not enter the medical room.
Most of the monsters below the sword pass were burned to ashes by the guardian fire.
However, although the fallen Guardian Fire has a stable field, too many monsters still reduce its intensity, and the range of the fire is visibly reduced.
The psychic generator has also suffered a lot of losses. According to Mina's report, the psychic generator has consumed more than 70% of its energy, and the black crystal reserve as the main energy supply is not very large.
There was a slight worry on Gangshou's face. Although the monster had been eliminated, the black tide was far from over.
This is just the beginning, they have suffered such huge losses, which is completely different from expectations.
Darkleaf, Baywood and Raistlin walked over together.
"Sir Steelhand, something is not right."
An Ye's face is also very gloomy.
"Our losses were too great. In one battle, twelve combatants were slightly injured and three were seriously injured. If it hadn't been for some accidents among us, the losses would have been unimaginable."
Beowood said in a deep voice: "Although I have never participated in guarding the Black Tide before, I heard my father tell them about their combat experience. According to our practice, Liguang Fortress is directly in front of us and is the main battlefield. They cannot clear it.
Monsters will overflow and reach us. The monsters that overflowed in the first round are so strong, something is obviously wrong."
Raistlin nodded: "The number of personnel guarding the city wall should be stronger."
The steel hand looked very embarrassed: "However, our total combat power is not large, and our supplies are not very sufficient."
An Ye said: "We can only think of ways to save. The bed crossbow is the most economical weapon. All the materials for giant arrows are common and very cheap. We must use them more to kill the enemy."
"That's right, we should use our own strength to destroy monsters."
The three of them discussed on the city wall, while the logistics staff were quickly collecting the monster ashes left on the city wall and the battlefield.
Cleaning the battlefield is something that must be done. Monster ashes contain residual power and can be used in many ways.
There are people in the royal city who specialize in collecting them, and they are called collectors.
Whenever the battle ends, the collectors will clean up the battlefield and collect whatever is left.
Rhodes watched them put the clumps of monster ashes into a special urn, swept away the useless fly ash, took a look at the complete power of the Blade Demon, and thought about asking them for two pieces later.
Come here, I still have two sun stones, which can be used to make two soul ashes.
This thing looks pretty awesome.
Rhodes has confirmed that the monsters killed by him are not in the same condition as before.
The only exception is the Corruptor, but this may be the reason why [Psychic Quartet] is too strong.
The amount of soul obtained from a monster should be related to the degree to which the soul is eroded by [Dark Devourer].
Of course, Rhodes doesn't know exactly how it works.
The income from this battle is very good, the soulless soul has increased sharply from 700, and there are also a large number of soul fragments and complete souls.
Now it seems that sewers are really sewers.
Damn it, never go again.
Your sewer king has apostatized!
——
After the discussion, Gangshou and others quickly adjusted the defense mode and increased the number of combatants on duty on the city wall, but the support team and emergency team had to reduce the number of personnel accordingly.
The battle preparation has also been optimized to ensure that there is at least one mid- to high-level combatant on the city wall at any time.
But even so, there is not much improvement.
The intensity of the battle that followed exceeded expectations, and the types of monsters became more diverse, with some monsters with strong destructive capabilities appearing.
They cause very high damage to the Jianguan Fortress, and are rough-skinned and thick-flesh, making them difficult to eliminate.
The energy of the psychic generator was consumed very quickly, and the black crystal was consumed too quickly. The inventory was about to be exhausted. Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Steel Hand continued to send messages to the Giant Fortress in need of supplies.
No response.
Only Rhodes lost his voice after learning about the matter: "Are you here again?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the basement turned their eyes and stared at him blankly.
Stare at his wide sleeves.
