150: The Blazing Squad makes a powerful rescue, and a Level 6 Boss-level monster arrives!

Zhou Hai's eyes widened in fury as he let out a thunderous roar, pushing his [Flame Blaster] Sequence to full power!

"Blasting Flame Meteor Shower!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dozens of head-sized Blasting Flame Bombs, like a dense rain of fire, slammed into the Crawlers surging up like a tide.

The sound of explosions was deafening, and flames instantly engulfed the clifftop.

The fire-fearing Crawlers sizzled as they burned, letting out shrill screams as their charred corpses fell off the cliff like dumplings into a pot.

A pungent, burnt stench filled the air.

"Machine gunners! Don't just stand there, dammit! Mow them down for me!!"

Zhou Hai landed, his fists turning into two flamethrowers as he forcibly burned a path through the mass of monsters.

At the same time.

A blood-colored phantom silently cut into the battlefield.

Su Li's face was cold as frost, the Shura Bloodblade in her hand drawing out hauntingly beautiful red lines in the night.

Her movements were agile as she shifted and leaped between jagged rocks and monsters, specifically harvesting the stragglers trying to bypass the sea of fire.

"Puchi!"

A flash of blade light later, three Crawlers about to pounce on the wounded were instantly decapitated, the cuts as smooth as mirrors.

Su Li's killing wasn't as grand as Zhou Hai's, but her efficiency was staggering, each strike precisely severing a monster's spinal nerves.

"Reinforcements are here! It's the Blazing Flame Squad!!"

Seeing this, the once-desperate defenders' morale soared, and they began firing back one after another.

However, there were simply too many Crawlers.

They didn't fear death at all; as the ones in front were burned or hacked to death, those behind immediately charged over their comrades' corpses, even building several ladders out of bodies at the cliff's edge!

"Roar—!"

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding scraping sound, even more Crawlers broke through the fire net, surging toward the weakest point of the defense—the mountain pass.

That was the only path leading to the wounded camp!

"Oh no! They're going to break in!!" Zhang Yi watched from the rear, his eyes nearly splitting with rage.

If these high-agility monsters were allowed to rush into a camp full of wounded and medical staff, it would be a one-sided massacre!

At the critical moment.

An elite monster, a size larger than the ordinary Crawlers, avoided Zhou Hai's flames, opened its fanged maw, and pounced on a young nurse who was paralyzed with fear.

"No—!!"

The nurse closed her eyes in despair.

Whoosh—!

A foul wind swept in.

The expected agonizing pain didn't come.

"Thud!!!"

An extremely dull, heavy thud followed, as if a mountain had slammed into the ground, making everyone's feet go numb from the vibration.

The nurse opened her eyes, trembling.

A massive shield the size of a door, radiating a brilliant golden light, stood before her like an insurmountable barrier!

The elite Crawler that had tried to ambush her had been forcibly smashed into the soil by this giant shield, reduced to an unrecognizable pile of mush.

The golden light faded.

Zhao Ze's tower-like physique slowly rose from behind the massive shield.

His skin had turned a bronze hue as he pushed his [Immortal Golden Body] to its limit, making him look like a golden Vajra Arhat.

"You want to get past?"

Zhao Ze pulled the Immortal Heavy Shield from the dirt and slammed it into the center of the pass.

"Clang—!"

A metallic vibration, like the tolling of a great bell, resonated throughout the area.

He looked at the dense army of Crawlers ahead with an expressionless face, his voice as steady as a mountain:

"Not unless you step over my dead body!"

"Roar!!"

The Crawlers were enraged; dozens of monsters lunged at once, slamming into Zhao Ze like a greyish-white torrent.

"Immortal · Barrier!!"

Zhao Ze roared as the golden light on his body surged, his feet firmly rooted into the ground as he withstood the impact of several thousand pounds.

"Zizizi—"

Claws scraped against his golden body, creating a tooth-grinding metallic screech and sending sparks flying everywhere.

But Zhao Ze didn't budge an inch!

He was like a reef anchored in the waves, standing firm and unyielding regardless of the wind and rain!

"Old Zhao! Duck!!"

Zhou Hai's roar came from behind.

Zhao Ze abruptly ducked his head.

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

A thick fire dragon flew just over Zhao Ze's head, slamming into the monster swarm ahead and instantly exploding into a sea of fire.

"Shura Slash!"

Su Li's figure flashed as she appeared on Zhao Ze's flank, her Shura Bloodblade turning into a whirlwind of death that cut down every monster trying to climb over the shield from the side.

One tanking, one dealing damage, and one harvesting.

The trio of the Blazing Flame Squad built an insurmountable line of death at this narrow pass!

"Is this... the teamwork of the Blazing Flame Squad?"

Chen Yan, who had come to reinforce them, held his Spirit Source Battleaxe, his eyes filled with shock as he watched.

Although he was a Level 6 Expert with formidable individual combat power, when it came to this kind of tacit understanding and cooperation, his soldiers were far inferior to these three.

Not wanting to be outdone, Chen Yan swung his battleaxe, each strike claiming the lives of several monsters.

The situation seemed to have stabilized.

However, Chen Yan's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

As a Level 6 Expert, his perception far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Beneath the noise of the battlefield, he vaguely sensed an extremely cold and malicious aura rapidly approaching from the shadows below the cliff.

It felt as if a venomous snake was staring at his throat.

"Something's not right..."

Chen Yan suddenly hacked a Crawler to death, turned toward the edge of the cliff, and roared, "Watch out! Something big is coming up from below!!"

Before his voice had even faded.

"Swish—!!"

A dark shadow, like a bolt of black lightning, lunged out from a blind spot below the cliff without any warning!

Its speed was at the absolute limit, even leaving afterimages in the air as it completely ignored Zhou Hai's flames and Zhao Ze's shield.

Its target was very clear—

It was Su Li, who had just retracted her blade to defend and was in a state where her old strength was spent and her new strength had yet to gather!

"Sister Su! Look out!!" Zhou Hai's pupils constricted; he wanted to help, but it was already too late.

The dark shadow unfurled in mid-air, revealing itself to be a terrifying monster with a human face, a pitch-black body, and claws like scythes!

[Level 6 Leader-level Floating Corpse — Ghost-Faced Shadow Demon!]

Those scythe-like claws, accompanied by a whistle that tore through the air, aimed straight for Su Li's throat!

The shadow of death instantly enveloped Su Li's cold face.
