Ning Yi finally accepted the extremely precious green-level crystal. As Yang Yu said, if he really didn't want it, he could just give it to Feng Yingruo when the time came.
As soon as the three of them came downstairs, they noticed a commotion at the door.
Sure enough, as they expected, as the pouring rain fell, the Ghostclaw monster outside the gate became active again after being silent for nearly an hour.
Two ghostclaw monsters tried to break in through the narrow gap in the gate, but they were quickly attacked by the Wind Shadow Guards guarding the door with magic spider webs. The two ghostclaw monsters that broke in were trapped and killed.
But soon, more ghostclaw monsters began to rush towards the gate.
First, seven or eight ghostclaw monsters took turns to attack the door. After three of them were killed, two bloodclaw monsters opened the door with beast roars.
But then, Ning Yi and the others arrived.
Yang Yu hit a blood-claw monster head-on with an ice dragon roar, and Ning Yi successfully killed it with a last-ditch kill.
Feng Yingshuang used the Afterimage Knife to block the attack route of another Bloodclaw monster. Zheng Wu and others who arrived later also arrived with people and drove out all the other Ghostclaw monsters that rushed in from the hall.
The monster side left behind the body of a bloodclaw monster and the bodies of eight ghostclaw monsters and had to evacuate the hall again.
Then there was another quiet time for nearly an hour.
An hour later, another dozen or so Spectral Claw monsters began to harass the gate. Everyone did not dare to neglect, so they had to give up their rest and drove out the invading Spectral Claw monsters again.
This time, the monster's losses were even smaller, and they only paid the price of three ghostclaw monsters.
But he successfully interfered with Ning Yi and others.
Ning Yi and the others rested for less than an hour when another wave of ghostclaw monsters began to attack the door.
Following the same pattern, after breaking into the gate, they did not invest too many monsters. They just rushed everywhere, forcing Ning Yi and the others to spend their energy to deal with them.
Although they were defeated easily, Ning Yi and others were exhausted.
Especially Feng Yingshuang and others can fall asleep directly as soon as they sit on the steps.
I looked at the time and found that it was already past two in the morning.
It seems that if you want to hold the door tonight, you will have to stay awake.
But Ning Yi and the others couldn't help it. It was raining heavily in the basement and they were not allowed to listen. The rainwater poured in through many broken holes and formed a gurgling stream, winding along the steps and pouring into the basement.
As a result, the basement is now flooded. The water is even knee deep, so the current situation is quite bad. The drainage system in the basement does not look good, so many people now have to move out, especially
Wounded people should never be immersed in water.
More people were guarding the hall together, working together to deal with the ghostclaw monsters that tried to break in.
At around three o'clock in the morning, the Ghostclaw monsters once again launched a harassment battle. A Bloodclaw monster led the army and led a dozen or so Ghostclaw monsters to attack the gate.
In the end, the bloodclaw monsters successfully broke through the door, but when Ning Yi and the others gave up the chance to rest again, they successfully drove them out.
It's just that this time's success, apart from exhaustion, there was no excitement on everyone's faces. Moreover, in this battle, one Feng Ying guard was sacrificed and three people were injured.
What's more important is that everyone's physical and internal energy has been consumed to the point of near bottom, and even the immortal and beautiful God of War Yang Yu is complaining endlessly.
Ning Yi is the only one who still has plenty of physical strength and energy.
"If this continues, we have no choice but to give the hall to them again." Feng Yingshuang looked at the situation in front of her and said with a worried look. "It's only half past three, and the inner energy we finally recovered is almost the same."
It’s all gone, if they impact again, we’ll have no choice but to wait to die.”
"Yes, and fighting them all the time consumes a lot of physical energy. Now everyone is hungry. Even if the body can endure it, the stomach cannot." Zheng Wu covered his stomach and smiled bitterly.
"If we retreat to the basement, we can get a temporary rest, but the basement is already flooded. And the weather forecast says that the rain may not stop for a while. If the entire basement is flooded by then, we will
Where else can we go?" Yang Yu leaned against the wall and said with a headache on his face.
"Second floor!" Ning Yi said slowly, "Give the hall to them."
Hearing this, Huang Yeling frowned and said: "Second floor? No, the target on the second floor is too obvious. There are front spiral stairs and safety stairs. They can attack us from the front and back, and these two stairwells are very spacious. Those ghost claw monsters
It’s also very convenient to attack.”
"We can only go to the second floor. Guarding the stairs is better than guarding the door, and it's easier to communicate with the outside on the second floor." Yang Yu agreed with Ning Yi.
"Listen to Ning Yi." Feng Yingshuang decisively ended all disputes.
Since there is no unified opinion, she would rather believe Ning Yi. This guy has brought her too many surprises. He must have his intentions in choosing the second floor.
Feng Yingshuang ordered that everyone move to the second floor immediately.
In fact, the living environment on the second floor is much better than in the basement, because the second floor is full of private rooms in the club, with three large rooms and twenty-four small rooms. The furnishings inside are extremely luxurious, but of course, these rooms and the like
They have all been visited by the Spectral Claw monster, and the objects inside have basically been knocked to the ground and broken into pieces.
In addition, the windows of the twelve private rooms near the periphery were all shattered and the heavy rain poured down, making them uninhabitable, so the only ones that could be used were twelve small private rooms and three large private rooms.
However, there are enough rooms. The number of people gathered together, including the injured, is only about thirty.
And even more fortunately, after scouring the box, we actually found some food, which barely allowed everyone to survive the hunger after the war.
Ning Yi and others took advantage of this opportunity to quickly report their situation and the surrounding situation to Feng Yingruo.
Feng Yingruo looked like he hadn't slept all night, so he immediately replied to Ning Yi. Her reply was very simple, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you, keep at it.
Of course, after enjoying the benefits, misfortune will come.
After Ning Yi and the others retreated to the second floor, the monsters at the gate immediately broke through the unguarded gate and occupied the entire hall.
After occupying the hall, they immediately swarmed towards the stairs from the first floor to the second floor.
The stairs were not narrow enough to accommodate two Ghostclaw monsters advancing side by side, but Ning Yi and the others blocked the end of the stairs with a large number of Ghostclaw monster corpses. The Ghostclaw monsters had no choice but to stand on the corpses of the Ghostclaw monsters for a while.
There was a constant howling in the pile.
After trying several times without success, they thought of another way, rushing up the stairs crazily, and then jumped hard, trying to jump to the corridor on the second floor.
There is a height difference of nearly ten meters between the second floor and the first floor. Although those ghostclaw monsters are fierce, they do not have enough jumping ability to jump from the first floor to the second floor. However, it is indeed feasible to jump diagonally from the stairs to the corridor.
It's just that the second floor happens to be relatively short. Although those ghostclaw monsters can jump to the second floor corridor from the stairs, most of them will hit the ceiling of the corridor and bounce directly to the first floor.
At a height of more than ten meters, although the powerful Ghostclaw monsters cannot be killed by the fall, injuries to the muscles and bones are inevitable.
After injuring five or six of them, the ghostclaw monsters gave up this unrealistic attack method.
But they quickly began to attack from the safety stairs, but the safety stairs were narrower, and Ning Yi and the others used the corpses of the ghost claw monsters to block them, and the ghost claw monsters immediately lost their temper.
Both sides calmed down, which finally allowed Ning Yi and the others to breathe.
At this moment, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the crackling lightning and thunder were even more frequent.
A stream formed by rainwater flows continuously down the steps.
Everyone looked down at the lobby, which had now turned into a swamp. Looking down from the second floor, they found that the rainwater had flowed over the safety stairwell, and it looked like the basement had become a vast ocean.
"I didn't expect it would rain so hard. If we hadn't listened to Ning Yi, we would have retreated to the second floor. Even if we didn't drown in the basement, we would have become food for the Spectral Claw monster." Ma Ping said with lingering fear.
.
Of course, based on his cultivation level, this is a bit exaggerated. Even if the basement was submerged, he would definitely have the strength to run out in time to break the blood and run to the second floor to take shelter temporarily.
But other people with lower cultivation levels, especially those injured Feng Yingwei, would definitely have difficulty protecting themselves in this situation.
"Uncle, you saved us once again. I would like to say thank you on behalf of all the brothers." Zheng Wu thanked you heartily.
Ning Yi blushed: "This is really nothing. Even if I didn't say so, we would choose to escape to the second floor when we are in danger."
"Even so, there must have been heavy casualties at that time." Feng Yingshuang said calmly.
Ning Yi still smiled and said: "However, it was Sister Xiaoyu who reminded us that the basement would be flooded. If you really want to thank her, just thank her. I don't dare to take the responsibility."
"Of course. Without Officer Yang today, most of us would not be alive today."
"In that case, we also want to thank Miss. If it weren't for your leadership, we wouldn't be able to escape from this fortress."
After saying this, everyone immediately started chattering, and the originally depressed atmosphere slowly dissipated with these jokes.
"Okay, everyone." Feng Yingshuang looked at the time, "It's already past five o'clock in the morning. It seems that those monsters won't attack again in a short time. We have been guarding all night and are already exhausted.
It’s time to take turns and take a break.”
Although the Spectral Claw monsters have reoccupied the lobby, after two defeats, they seem to have no intention of attacking for the time being.
Most of the Ghostclaw monsters even evacuated the lobby directly, leaving only six or seven in the lobby.
This also gave the highly nervous people a little relief.
As he was talking, suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance.
"Boom!" After the loud noise, it felt like the whole house was shaking.
Everyone looked at each other and realized that the sound was definitely not thunder.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
As soon as the thought changed, several huge roars sounded one after another.
"It sounded like an explosion."
"It's a Longbow cruise missile." Zheng Wu, who has many years of military background, said with a hint of surprise, "The military has already taken action."
