If it were anyone else who dared to face Liao Fan with such a disrespectful attitude, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.
But Zheng Tao was different. Even if he didn't understand Liao Fan's kindness and even reprimanded him for being cold-blooded, Liao Fan wouldn't take it seriously. He just sighed helplessly and said,
"You are too inexperienced. It seems that you still cannot adapt to the environment as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, there are not many 'teaching' opportunities available to you."
"What did you say……"
Zheng Tao was startled for a moment, and before he could ask again, more shrill screams came from the direction of the stairwell, directly covering up the conversation between the two.
Just as Liao Fan predicted, if everyone here can work together to defend the third floor, even if the dwarves attack in groups, they will not be able to easily flood into the third floor.
Unfortunately, most of the frightened people did not have the courage to resist the monsters at all. These people fought on their own, leaving the stairwell defenseless. There were only a dozen or so people who had the courage to resist, and they were unable to resist so many monsters.
Monster's charge.
As a result, the supposedly solid defense quickly collapsed.
The monsters are marching in, killing and chasing people crazily.
Even though the crowd on the third floor was far more numerous than the monsters, they lost the courage to resist and were met with a one-sided massacre.
"Ah, they're coming, they're coming."
"Everyone, hold on, don't run around. As long as we guard this point, we can hold on until dawn."
"What the hell, if you stay here, you're just going to die. I don't want to die, so I'd better run!"
In an instant, the defense circle on the third floor completely collapsed, and people screamed and cursed, retreating steadily under the charge of the monster.
Even Sun Biao and others, who resisted the most fiercely, were frightened away by the monsters' constant charging momentum. They could only retreat while fighting and constantly adjust the defense circle.
Without the counter-resistance of these dozen people, the stairwell became unobstructed, and more dwarves charged towards the third floor.
The monsters filed in, moving so fast that there was almost only an afterimage left. By the time these people discovered the existence of the monsters and planned to react, it was already too late.
In a relatively open area, the monsters' agility advantage can be brought into full play. People cannot keep up with the speed of the monsters, let alone prevent effective resistance.
Liao Fan finally stopped watching the show and directly set up his folding crossbow. He placed rows of black crossbows at hand, loaded the crossbows as quickly as possible, aimed at the monsters that rushed towards him, and launched a round of laser fire.
.
The dwarf had just rushed to the third floor and was about to enjoy the delicious food, but his head was pierced by the crossbow arrows fired continuously, and he fell down one after another while screaming.
These modified crossbow arrows not only have amazing penetrating power, but also have certain energy effects. Every time they hit the target, they will cause huge damage to the monsters.
Exploding heads, flying blood, and broken limbs all over the ground made the atmosphere extremely tragic.
"Oh my God, what did you do? Why are these crossbows so powerful?"
Zheng Tao was once again stunned, looking at the crossbow arrows that shot out quickly, emitting a sharp scream in the air. Every time it hit the target, it would inevitably create a blood hole the size of a bowl in the monster's body, and it could even be easily shattered.
The dwarf's hard head exploded into pieces.
He looked horrified, looking at the crossbow placed at Liao Fan's feet in disbelief, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.
As the maker of these crossbows, Zheng Tao naturally knows their power. Within thirty meters, the effect is indeed good, but they are not so exaggeratedly destructive.
"It's nothing, just a few minor changes. With your talent in making weapons, it won't take long for you to surpass me."
Liao Fan gave an explanation without expression, then fired the crossbow again and hit the head of the monster that jumped up the stairs.
One after another, the crossbow arrows shot through the air, causing a sharp buzzing sound, and finally effectively intercepted the charging trend of the dwarf demon. Unfortunately, the number of crossbow arrows was not very large. Looking at the crossbow arrows that had been consumed for most of the time, Liao Fan could only stop.
He came down and sighed and said,
"Next time, please make more marbles for me. It would be such a waste to use these crossbow arrows on ordinary dwarves."
Zheng Tao said with a sad face, "Is there a next time?"
"Of course there are. There will be more monsters in this world than you can imagine."
Temporarily stopping the monster's charge, Liao Fan quickly put away his crossbow, patted Zheng Tao on the shoulder, and led him directly into the crowd.
After the big melee just now, half of the survivors on the third floor were still struggling to resist the dwarves who were attacking sporadically.
Arriving at the area where people were resisting monsters, Liao Fan first checked the casualties of the crowd, and then nodded secretly in his heart.
"Fortunately, not everyone's performance was so miserable. At least Sun Biao and the others had the smallest number of casualties because they resisted more tenaciously."
Sun Biao also noticed Liao Fan walking towards him again. He shivered immediately and took the initiative to greet him, "Little brother, where were you just now? We..."
"Don't talk nonsense. The fighting has not stopped yet. You must gather the remaining troops and continue to block the stairway!"
Liao Fan ignored Sun Biao's words and looked around coldly at the people who had been scratched by monsters and were leaning against the wall to breathe hard, and said in a very serious tone,
"The survivors on the first and second floors can no longer form an effective defense. Only the third floor where we are located has more than fifty survivors left. Everyone must cheer up and be ready for another charge at any time.
.”
"But everyone is injured, how can we still have the energy to continue fighting!"
Sun Biao trembled his lips and looked at the large number of scratches on his arms and legs, his face already extremely ugly.
After seeing Liao Fan's ability to stop monsters, he no longer cares about settling accounts with this "murderous madman". Rather than tracing the cause of Manager Wu's death, of course, he should consider how to survive among the monster's minions.
"We have to fight even if we don't have the strength. The monsters won't give us much chance to breathe."
Liao Fan looked at the dwarf demons who were forced to retreat to the edge of the stairwell and were still trying to rush in, and said coldly, "The battle has lasted for so long, and the consumption of those dwarf demons is also not low. According to my estimation,
They will probably launch one last charge, and then there will be a defensive battle that really matters life and death."
"Damn, what you said is really nice. Have you ever thought about the life and death of other people? If you have the ability, why don't you do it yourself?"
Behind Sun Biao, a young man with a sharp and arrogant appearance immediately stood up and retorted loudly, "Who do you think you are? Why do you want us to listen to you?"
Liao Fan didn't care about this guy's attitude and said matter-of-factly, "I don't mean anything. You don't have to follow my advice. You can just bear the consequences."
He did not come here to quarrel with others. Anyway, he had already said what he should remind these people. As for what choice the other party would make, that was no longer something Liao Fan needed to consider.
