As a blood-curdling explosion sounded, all the stone beasts crouching on the lampposts broke out of their shells at the same time, unfolded their originally contracted wings, and their bodies expanded four to five times in an instant!
Zhao Xi was no stranger to such a scene. He had fought with gargoyles before, and he knew the power of this gargoyle monster. He immediately shouted: "Everyone, retreat and stick to the gate to defend!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of stone beasts flapped their wings and flew up. They did not attack the treasure hunting team immediately, but circled and flew over the hall, seeming to celebrate their freedom.
For a moment, demons danced wildly in the hall, reflecting numerous phantoms under the illumination of wall lamps.
Feather Rock Demon, level 29 abyss monster, patroller of Hellboy's castle!
The size of this feathered rock demon is close to that of an ordinary black hawk. They are very similar to owls, but they have no hair. The hawk's beak is as sharp as a hook, and its talons protrude with dagger-like spines. They look very uncomfortable.
So annoying.
Whoosh!
The first one to attack was Yun Shasha. She retreated to the gate, raised her long bow and shot an arrow at a Feathered Rock Demon, accurately hitting the latter's abdomen.
But what is surprising is that this feather arrow not only failed to penetrate the body of the Yuyan Demon, but was bounced off by the tough gray-black skin on its surface, leaving only a small spot scar!
-78!
The Feather Rock Demon was immediately enraged. It screamed loudly, suddenly spread its wings and rushed to the top of the ceiling. Then it instantly changed direction and dived towards Yun Shasha. A pair of eagle claws spread out at the same time, and its six claws shone with cold light.
!
"careful!"
Zhao Xi, who was standing next to him, saw that the situation was not going well and took the lead to protect Yun Shasha. He raised the Shield of Destiny and hit the Yuyan Demon with all his strength.
Shield Bash!
Bang!
The Yuyan Demon was unable to dodge and was hit head-on by the battle shield. He immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground rolling.
Its power is obviously not as good as Zhao Xi's, and it suffers greatly if it is hit by a shield attack that does not have Wildhammer's Fury attached.
唳~
But there was more than just one Feathered Rock Demon in the castle hall. Those Feathered Rock Demons that broke out of their shells and spread their wings emitted heart-stopping screams and rushed toward the treasure hunting team.
Although the members of the treasure hunting team retreated to the entrance of the gate under Zhao Xi's order, their backs to the gate could not stop the siege of many feathered rock demons, and they were about to fall into a trap of melee.
At the critical moment, it was Zhao Xi who still stepped forward. He took two steps forward, raised his shield to face the flying Yuyan Demon, first cast a group taunt, and then launched his secret skill!
Thorny iron wall!
This is his strongest defensive skill. It can convert all attack power into defense power. The two superimpose to produce a terrifying defensive effect, but it consumes a lot of holy power, so it will not be used under normal circumstances.
However, the situation in front of him does not allow Zhao Xi to hesitate or retreat at all, otherwise once the team members are overwhelmed by the monsters, the already fragile defense line will collapse in an instant!
唳~
Under the influence of the range taunting skill, all the surrounding Yuyan Demons seemed to have seen the enemy who killed their father, and they all rushed towards him with blood-red eyes, and no one escaped the net.
For all abyss-type monsters, including BOSS, Zhao Xi has a higher hatred value than other players because he has the curse of Sangre. If he uses group taunts to attract hatred, there is no doubt that the attraction is strong!
So when Zhao Xi stood still, one after another, the feather rock demons fell on him, pecked their beaks, tore off their wings, and flapped, completely submerging him in the blink of an eye, and adding layers upon layers of them!
-55!-55!-55!…
A series of damage figures penetrated the barriers of the monsters and floated rapidly.
The members of the treasure hunting team were dumbfounded by this scene. They had never seen a paladin use taunts to lure monsters, but it was unheard of to lure them to this extent.
However, none of them were newbies. Without wasting the time and opportunity that Zhao Xi had bought for them, Bai Fan immediately waved his staff, first spreading a sea of fire on the ground, and then bombarding it with a meteor shower!
Not to be outdone, Yun Shasha directly used her only secret skill, shooting dozens of feather arrows with armor-piercing power in an instant, striking a concentrated blow at the Yuyan Demons surrounding Zhao Xi!
Shi Yue and Xiao Shar did not take action because their mission was to protect the mage and archer.
Under the double blow of flames and sharp arrows, most of the Feathered Rock Demons were hit at the same time, with dense damage numbers flying up, and eagles chirping one after another.
Their defense is quite strong. Their tough skin can effectively defend against arrow attacks, but this time Yun Shasha used a secret technique that was quite powerful. Many arrows directly penetrated their skin, causing high damage.
As for Bai Fan's fire spells, the damage to them was even greater. Many of the severely injured Yuyan Demons were dragged away from their hatred and gave up besieging Zhao Xi and instead attacked the two men.
Bai Fan immediately cast a wall of fire in front of him. Although his equipment was ordinary, his spell-casting techniques were skillful and superb, especially the combination of spells. The Yuyan Demon's counterattack was immediately strongly blocked.
These winged monsters obviously cannot directly break through the fire wall. They can only fly to higher places, or attack by bypassing the positions on both sides of the fire wall, which inevitably leads to a scattered situation.
At this time, Shi Yue and Xiaosha had the opportunity to take action. There was no pressure to deal with the two or three feathered rock demons that came over. Moreover, most of these feathered rock demons were in ruins and could be chopped down in a few or two strokes.
The situation of the treasure hunting team is temporarily stable, and the pressure on Zhao Xi has also been greatly reduced.
However, the secret skill of the Iron Wall of Thorns consumes a lot of holy power. After holding on for seven or eight seconds, Zhao Xi took advantage of the opportunity for some of the Feather Rock Demons to escape and suddenly moved forward to break through.
-526!
The Blade of Destiny struck hard on the stubby neck of a feathered rock demon. The latter's flesh was torn open and blood spurted out, and it fell straight to the ground.
Zhao Xi took advantage of the situation and stepped on its body and rushed out, but he didn't take a few steps. He turned around and waved the weapon in his hand. The Blade of Destiny brought out dazzling blades of light and faced the pursuing ones.
Feather Rock Demons.
This is not a professional skill or a secret skill, but the real swordsmanship skills mastered by Zhao Xi, which fully unleashes the power of the legendary weapon in his hand within the rules of the system.
These feathered rock demons were clustered in a relatively small space. Their advantages could not be fully utilized, and there was no tacit cooperation between them. As a result, they collided with each other, and Zhao Xi happened to miss them.
Facing the almost crazy siege of the monsters, Zhao Xi kept moving and nimbly dodged among them. He saw the light of the sword sweeping past, leaving a series of horrific scars on the bodies of the Yuyan monsters.
!
It's not that the Yuyan Demon directly attacked Zhao Xi, but most of them were blocked by Zhao Xi's battle shield, and the damage caused was not very high. However, Zhao Xi's counterattack was extremely fierce, and he could be harvested with at most three swords.
The life of a Feathered Rock Demon.
Poof!
The Blade of Destiny struck at the wing root of a Feather Rock Demon like lightning, cutting off the entire wing like a broken bamboo. The unlucky guy screamed and fell to the ground.
Zhao Xi, who had successfully counterattacked, suddenly lowered his body and avoided the siege of the two feathered rock demons. He rolled forward and swung his war blade to completely kill the seriously injured target. Then he jumped up again and swung.
The sword struck hard on the body of another Feather Rock Demon.
-576!-602!
A double whammy!
This Feather Rock Demon crashed to the ground, contributing experience and exploding several items at the same time.
Zhao Xi didn't even look at the loot on the ground, and immediately flew back. He switched the battle shield and stored it in the Death Glove, reached out and grabbed a bottle of healing potion and drank it to recover a lot of lost HP!
No matter how powerful his skills are, he is still limited by the system and cannot break through the limit. Therefore, he cannot escape unscathed under the siege of more than 20 feathered rock demons. As of now, he has only a little more than one-third of his health left.
However, relatively speaking, there are not many Yuyan Demons still alive!
