Chapter 351: Come Back if You Havent Had Enough! (1/2)

Old Meredith clearly appeared doubtful towards what the Players were saying, convinced that they were bragging away.

However, he didn’t do anything in the end when he saw that his granddaughter was standing by the Players, merely sighing lengthily before shambling to the side to give way. While this place here were accessible from all sides and the Players would be able to enter the cavern reaching into the Deep Wall Stratum, the old man’s gesture showed that he trusted the Players.

And with him giving the way, the net of light that had been blocking the crater crumbled and disappeared. The monsters that had been kept beneath it hence rushed out at once, giving the impression that it was a black, oppressive wave!

A closer look would reveal that those monsters came in many different sizes, but there were only two that really threatened the Players.

One was the horse-sized monsters that were pitch-black like crows that were rather numerous.

Where their heads should have been were chunks of flesh that keep wiggling away, just as the belly had plenty bird heads embedded on it. The eyes on those heads were opening and closing too, their beaks crying out and clearly working normally.

Looking carefully, the name above those creatures’ HP Bar would show its name: Nine-headed Bird.

According to the old man, the Nine-headed Birds were creatures native to the Deep Wall Tunnel and commonly found in it.

“One, two, three, four… there really are nine heads…” Joe muttered after counting the bird heads.

On the other hand, the other creature was massive as a double-decker bus and resembled the love child between a massive Megalograptus and a Anomalocaris, a steel-green weird insect that soars freely in the air.

But what puzzled the Players was that the monster that should be called a ‘XX bug’ or a ‘XX beast’ was named ‘Sky High’.

It also turned out that the Sky Highs were visitors from the Dark Sky Stratum and the most unstable element at the moment. Back when they used to show up on the Faint Crystal Stratum, every autonomous weapon would focus fire on those monsters.

“There are around forty Nine-headed Birds and three Sky Highs…”

Gou Dan quickly take a count of the enemy numbers and informed the others.

“I’ll grab the attention of the Nine-headed birds, the rest of you clear off the Nine-headed Birds first.” Edward promptly made a decision, raising his hand to summon a Blackfire Dragon-he was the only Player who could fly around freely after all.

“Bring me along,” Mufasa said, leaping on the dragon’s back as well in his pink flatfish head mask. “Attacking from above would be more effective.”

Hence, the other players prepared to fight off the monsters as told.

While Old Meredith had entrusted everything to the Players with his silent approval, he did not actually leave, and watched the fight from the distance.

Moments later, the only lanky automaton that the old man had left appeared beside him.

“How was it?” The old man asked.
