"A level 20 elite monster?!" Sun Ge exclaimed in shock, his face turning serious.
He took a step forward without looking back and said, "This monster's Strength attribute is already as high as 74 points. You should retreat to the second row."
"Xiao Jia, come with me to the front line. Don't let this rotten flesh tear through our defenses!"
The knight Xiao Jia raised his shield silently and followed Sun Ge charging ahead.
The two led the charge, crashing directly into the wave of zombies and beginning the fierce battle.
This wave of zombies numbered around eighty to ninety, attacking fiercely.
Among them, there were over ten Bloodstained Zombies.
Level 20 elite monsters were no longer easy to deal with.
Sun Ge swung his greatsword again, slicing three Rotting Zombies in half, but immediately, he faced off against a Bloodstained Zombie.
Sun Ge shouted and swung his sword.
With a sharp clang like iron striking iron, the Bloodstained Zombie was slashed open, black blood gushing out, but it was not killed.
"Roar—" a harsh growl came from the zombie's throat, and its wound suddenly sprayed blood, covering its body.
A faint reddish mist swirled around it, making it look even more ferocious.
This was clearly the Blood Rage skill of the Bloodstained Zombie, which boosted its Strength and Agility by 40%.
The Bloodstained Zombie already had high Agility, and with the Blood Rage buff, its speed increased further as it lunged at Sun Ge on the spot.
Experienced in battle, Sun Ge struck horizontally again, hitting the Bloodstained Zombie.
"Clang!" Another clash of iron.
This time, not only did the zombie stagger back from the slash, but Sun Ge was also forced back a step by the recoil.
This showed that, buffed by Blood Rage, the Bloodstained Zombie's Strength was now comparable to Sun Ge's.
One Bloodstained Zombie was one thing, but there were so many zombies here; if they all swarmed, Sun Ge could not hold them alone.
Feeling the pressure mounting, Sun Ge was suddenly enveloped in countless white fireballs falling from the sky, covering both him and the nearby zombies.
The discomfort from the recoil vanished instantly.
The Bloodstained Zombie that had just taken two of Sun Ge's sword strikes could no longer resist the holy fire's cleansing and finally collapsed.
At this critical moment, Qin Qiu's damage output from the rearline helped finish off the enemy.
But the crisis was far from over.
Within just over ten seconds, the zombies surged forward.
Sun Ge had no time to conserve energy; gripping his sword tightly, he stepped forward and swung fiercely.
A white glow burst from his blade, lighting him like a full moon, shredding the oncoming horde.
"Full Moon Slash!"
With this skill release, Sun Ge's stamina dropped sharply.
However, this single skill instantly wiped out at least ten Rotting Zombies.
Meanwhile, Qin Qiu and the other rearline mages and archers also pressed their advantage, fully outputting to help relieve the frontline warriors' pressure.
Sun Ge and Qin Qiu's small leveling team had no shortage of firepower; the key was whether the frontline could hold.
Sun Ge had planned to hold his position and block all zombies from crossing their frontline, but from beside him came a shout for help from Xiao Jia: "Brother Sun, help me!"
Sun Ge turned around, his face growing anxious.
Xiao Jia was holding his shield up, facing a Bloodstained Zombie in Blood Rage.
The zombie charged fiercely forward.
Xiao Jia's Strength was vastly inferior to the zombie's and simply could not hold.
What's worse, two Rotting Zombies had flanked him and already used their Latching Maul skills, their fangs about to sink into Xiao Jia.
Corpse Poison was a debuff that only priests with Clear Spell could remove—but Qin Qiu, a Holy Light Mage, did not have that skill.
If Xiao Jia got bitten, he would be in serious danger!
Without hesitation, Sun Ge charged forward with his sword and struck the Bloodstained Zombie, relieving Xiao Jia.
Xiao Jia took the chance to stomp the ground with his knight skill, sending the two Rotting Zombies flying.
Though Xiao Jia was saved, Sun Ge knew that leaving the frontline created a gap in their formation.
That gap endangered the rearline mages like Qin Qiu.
Experienced as he was, after helping Xiao Jia, Sun Ge immediately prepared to return to his position while shouting, "Everyone, fall back! Cai'er, take my spot and seal the gap!"
Just then, Sun Ge heard a calm voice say, "No need for the assassin to step up. I'll take the first line position."
Sun Ge was stunned, then saw Lu Fan appear in his original spot, holding the massive Mo Dragon Scale Greatsword, facing the surging zombie horde head-on.
