195: There are constant storms!
"That is?!"
Everyone saw clearly that from the Shadow Gate, familiar yet different Undead Ratman Soldiers were rising one by one.
"These are... the Mutated Ratmen from just now?"
"He wasn't even there, and he can still summon those monsters as Undead! Or could it be..." He turned sharply, "He's nearby?"
"What a shocking scene!"
"Could it be that in the end, all the monsters in the entire secret realm dungeon will become his Undead subordinates?"
"Be confident, they definitely will! For us, this place is a nightmare dungeon, but for him, it's undoubtedly a bonus level."
"S-Rank difficulty turned into super easy mode?"
"Hahaha, that's exactly right."
At this moment, someone noticed something was wrong, raised his hand, pointed at the still open, unclosed, blood-red flowing portal, and asked, "Wait! That door hasn't closed yet, could it be... Gulp!"
He swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue, not wanting to say anything inauspicious, fearing being a jinx and becoming a target.
As soon as he finished speaking, before the others could panic, a Ratman head poked out from it.
Just as they were feeling anxious, they saw the Ratman head, along with its body, fall heavily to the ground.
That was the Ratman King, who, even though he hid behind the portal, still couldn't escape and was cut in half by the lingering power of a single sword strike.
The tiny Sword Qi from the Thunder Might Sword, though invisible to the naked eye, was not to be underestimated in terms of sharpness.
"Is that... the boss?"
"Whether it's its size or face, it's far more ferocious and terrifying than the previous Mutated Ratmen. It's 100% him!"
"That one sword strike from the Undead Blood Knight actually killed him, even though he was hiding behind the door? So strong! So abnormal!"
"No wonder he can become the strongest in the world. There's a reason for it. There really is no existence more deserving of the title 'Undead Monarch' than him."
"Yeah, the gap between the second strongest in the world and him is also the distance between heaven and earth, let alone us ordinary people."
"It's just that I don't know if he can retain his personal consciousness after becoming his Undead after death. If so, embracing death, becoming his Undead, and being enslaved by him seems like a pretty good choice."
...
Everyone's thoughts became more and more outrageous.
In the past, Li Yaoshi would have thought the same.
But after personally witnessing the power of the Undead Blood Knight, and the next second, seeing the Undead Ratman King, with a sinister smile, walk out of the portal, his tall body filling the screen with a sense of oppression.
Li Yaoshi suddenly understood their feelings.
Facing such overwhelming power, even breathing became slightly difficult.
"We're here to support you... guys?"
A group of people rushed into the barrier, which looked pure black from the outside, their hurried steps slowing down when they saw the distant, dense mass of Undead led by the Ratman King, their voices trailing off.
They received orders that Li Yaoshi and others were in danger and they were coming to support them. Now it seemed there was no need.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps, we aren't needed at all. Where the Undead Monarch is, there is indeed a strong sense of security."
Noticing that the environment was darker than the outside, the group of professional Hunters all looked up, "Is that... a continent floating in the sky?"
"Let's be surprised about that later. The urgent task at hand is to rescue more people. We can't rely entirely on the Undead Monarch."
Li Yaoshi walked up to the leading person, extended his hand proactively, and introduced himself with a friendly smile: "Jiang City Special Operations, Temporary Group Six, Captain Li Yaoshi."
"Team Thirteen, Jiang Ping." The other party responded politely, shaking the hand Li Yaoshi extended, "You're right, now is indeed not the time to consider these things. Let's act quickly and try to save more people."
After speaking, the two teams each led their people to act, putting their words into practice.
"Captain Jiang, if I'm not mistaken, this island is likely related to that Undead Monarch, right? Tsk, I'm really envious. Why can he always fish up such good things?"
"More than that, I want to know how many fishing attempts he has."
"Just by the size, which is hard to see the end of, it can hold at least two to three hundred thousand people."
"There really is a ranking. First place, Chen Ming. So the Undead Monarch is called this name, it's a bit ordinary."
Clap, clap, clap!
Jiang Ping, as the Captain, raised his hand and clapped, "Alright, who knows how long we'll have to stay here. I advise you to talk less and save more energy."
"This is a battlefield, not a playground. If you're not careful, you could lose your life. Don't treat it as a game!"
Many of the people led by Jiang Ping were newcomers who had just completed basic training and had not faced monsters directly.
Therefore, some words might seem repetitive, but they still needed to be said. It was better if at least one person listened.
Bang! Boom!!
As soon as Jiang Ping finished speaking, an explosion sound came from above his head.
He looked up, his pupils wide.
It wasn't an explosion, it was the wall being shattered by something!
The smoke was too heavy to see the scene inside clearly for a moment.
All that could be seen were large pieces of falling concrete mixed with rebar.
"Get out of the way!" Jiang Ping shouted, warning everyone.
"Damn! What's going on!"
"Ah!!"
"Don't block the way!"
Everyone scattered and fled in panic.
During the evacuation, Jiang Ping caught a glimpse of a girl, who looked to be less than twenty years old, kneeling on the ground, trembling, holding a wooden staff with both hands.
Without hesitation, he quickly raised his arm, triggering a skill, a completely subconscious action.
Immediately, a large area of machinery unfolded from his palm, covering and fitting his fingers and arm... forming a muzzle.
He gripped his right hand with his left for stability.
Then he aimed at the falling rock less than three meters away from the girl.
Boom!
The energy accumulated in the muzzle transformed into a blue beam cannon, like a tadpole with a large head, and blasted out.
Bang!
After a violent explosion, the falling rock shattered.
The girl was sent flying by the impact of the explosion, rolling two or three meters away.
Her knees, arms, ankles... were scraped, and blood points seeped out, but at least her life was saved.
If Jiang Ping hadn't reacted quickly enough, the girl would have likely become an unrecognizable puddle of blood by now.
"Huff..." Seeing that the girl was okay, Jiang Ping lowered his arm and let out a long sigh of relief.
But soon, his heart suddenly tightened again.
He remembered the culprit that had destroyed the wall and was hidden in the smoke.
He looked up again, the dust had dissipated considerably, but there was no sign of anyone.
"None?" Jiang Ping frowned. He didn't believe the wall would be damaged with such a large hole for no reason.
Just as he was wondering, a terrified shout came from beside him, "Captain Jiang! Monster, the monster is behind you!!"
Behind?!
"..." Jiang Ping didn't turn around, quickly glancing down.
On the ground in front of him, there was a large shadow, and he could make out its outline and size!
