The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

Another water lizard seized the opportunity and shot its long tongue towards his throat!

"Ah Cai!" Ignoring the venomous water arrows shot from the flank, Brother Yu threw his spear with all his might.

With a clang, the spear deflected the water lizard's long tongue, saving Ah Cai's life, but Yu Ge himself was grazed on the arm by the venom.

Ah Cai used all his strength to swing his stick and smash away another long tongue that was taking the opportunity to attack.

Earth-type Awakener Li Kun knelt on one knee inside the cave entrance, his hands pressed against the slippery rocks, trying his best to raise a low stone wall at the edge of the narrow platform to block some of the attacks.

However, the stone wall was riddled with cracks from the impact of the dense, long tongues.

"Boom!" The stone wall collapsed, and Li Kun suffered a backlash, spitting out blood.

Several beams of staring light and two long tongues of water lizards shot simultaneously toward the cave entrance, which had been wide open due to Yu Ge's spear throw.

“It’s over…” Despair flashed in Ah Cai’s eyes as he watched the incoming attack.

At this critical moment.

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar came from the top of the cliff, as loud as a thunderclap!

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure, as strong as a brown bear, with ropes around his waist, holding an iron axe, and surrounded by condensed steam, descended from the top of the cliff at an astonishing speed, like a god descending to earth, aiming directly at the protruding rock on the cliff face where the strange man playing the harp stood.

"Scum, prepare to die!!!"

Vice President Zhao's roar overwhelmed everything.

Using the immense force of the swing, he loosened the rope as he approached the rock, then kicked the young man playing the zither with all his might.

The man's pupils suddenly contracted, the music stopped abruptly, and he reacted extremely quickly, rolling sharply to the side to dodge.

"boom!"

Vice President Zhao kicked the spot where the man had just been standing, his anger rising.

The hard rock shattered with a crash, sending fragments flying, and the entire cliff face seemed to tremble.

Although it didn't hit directly, the terrifying force and flying debris caused the man to tumble and roll, almost dropping his harmonica.

"Zhao Tou!" "Vice President!"

"Kill!" After landing, Vice President Zhao did not stop. He waved his arm and swept away several attacking demonic frogs as if swatting flies. The frogs crashed into the cliff wall, splattering blood everywhere.

He stood like a rock blocking the entrance to the cave.

The sudden and fierce attack threw the monster into disarray.

The eccentric musician steadied himself and stood on a swaying rock, his eyes fixed on Vice President Zhao, revealing a deep sense of apprehension.

"Where are you from?"

His lips moved, and he raised the harmonica again.

A sharp, piercing piano sound rang out.

The magic-eyed frogs and water lizards in the water seemed to have been injected with a berserk potion, ignoring casualties and surging even more frantically towards the cliff face.

The magic-eyed frog relentlessly shone its beam of light at the humans at the cave entrance, while the water lizard fearlessly climbed up the slippery rock wall to launch a surprise attack.

Several water lizards leaped out of the water and pounced on Vice President Zhao.

"Hide behind me!" Vice President Zhao roared, his body steaming and rapidly growing larger.

In the blink of an eye, he went from an ordinary person who was just over 1.8 meters tall to a little giant who was over 3 meters tall.

With a single stomp of his feet, he covered most of the cave entrance.

Old Xu, Brother Yu, A Cai, and the others who had slid down quickly retreated behind the protective barrier.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft!" Dense beams of staring light and long tongues struck Vice President Zhao, producing dull sounds.

A water lizard's long tongue deftly circled around Vice President Zhao's body and struck Ah Cai's leg, drawing a trail of blood.

"Ahem... Old Zhao, be careful, he's not the only one here, there's another guy who can turn invisible."

Xu Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked around nervously.

As soon as he finished speaking, as if sensing something, he raised his fair arms and held up an iron axe, slightly smaller than the one in Vice President Zhao's hand, to block a female team member.

clang!

There was clearly nothing in front of the iron axe, yet a bright spark erupted.

A spiderweb-like purple halo emerged from the axe's surface.

Instead of destroying the iron axe, it spread along the axe shaft towards Xu Ming's arm.

Affected by the purple halo, Xu Ming trembled all over, gritted his teeth, and took several steps back, looking around warily.

"I never expected that there would be such experts in this mountain range, besides the military and the five major gathering areas."

A voice, tinged with surprise, came from the direction of nothingness.

"Are you kidding me?"

Xu Ming snorted coldly, his eyes scanning the surroundings rapidly.

"Hehe, then let's continue playing. You don't actually think that having help will allow you to leave here smoothly, do you?"

A low, mocking laugh echoed in the air.

the other side.

Vice President Zhao swept his iron axe across the rock face, sending fragments of rock flying everywhere.

The man playing the harmonica was so shocked that he staggered backward, nearly dropping his harmonica.

"You hid pretty fast!" Vice President Zhao's voice boomed, his massive body blocking the cave entrance.

They withstood the relentless barrage of attacks from the monsters below.

Stone chips and venom exploded outside the protective film formed by steam, but he remained motionless, and with a backhand swing of his axe, he cleaved the rock where the harmonica player was standing.

"Get down here!"

"Where did this expert come from..."

A hint of surprise flashed in the harmonica player's eyes. He pressed the harmonica to his lips, and a sharp, resonant sound echoed.

Underwater currents surged, and two spiny water lizards, far larger than their kind, broke through the waves, bringing a foul stench as they lunged at Vice President Zhao's lower body.

At the same time, several beams of stasis from the Demon Eye Frog intertwined and shot towards him, blocking his escape space.

"A mere trick!" Vice President Zhao neither dodged nor evaded, swinging his giant axe in a wide arc, causing steam to billow out.

The axe blade, with the force of splitting a mountain, cleaved a water lizard in two.

As the foul-smelling blood splattered, he spun around and swung his iron axe fiercely at another water lizard.

"Boom!" The water lizard's bone spikes shattered, and it fell into the flood with a mournful cry.

...

"I see."

Beside the planting area, Han Ning received a message from a member of the combat team and nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he used a mental link to send Xuebing to the target location to take a look.

The current Xuebing is definitely the dominant force in this area; if it takes action, it should be able to handle things.

Furthermore, the other people in the community also need to grow; it's impossible for him to be there immediately every time something happens.

The fact that survivors returned alive to report the news indicates that the enemy's strength was not particularly high.

...

"Brother Yu, Brother Xu, he's at nine o'clock, in the shadows of the rock face."

A glint flashed in Ah Cai's eyes as he loudly reminded him.

Yu Ge flapped his insect wings and shot out, heading towards the direction Cai had warned him about.

"clang!"

The clang of metal rang out as a blurry figure appeared and disappeared before the spear, leaving a faint purple halo in the air.

It was the attack trail left by the invisible one.

"Two o'clock, ten meters away, circling around towards Brother Xu." Ah Cai's eyes were like lightning, locking onto a trace of unnatural energy fluctuations in the air.

Xu Ming reacted extremely quickly, sweeping his iron axe across the void where A Cai was pointing.

"Thud!" The axe blade pierced through solid ground, and a trail of blood splattered onto the slippery rock.

"Hmph!" A muffled groan rang out, and the invisible man was forced to reveal himself, his left arm slashed open by a spear, leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash.

He glared venomously at Ah Cai, then his figure blurred again as he attempted to disappear into the water.

Chapter 175 Taking Charge Alone

"Attack!" Xu Ming shouted, lunging forward with clenched fists. A layer of pale red energy covered the axe, sweeping with immense force toward the figure preparing to retreat.

Xu Ming's axe strike, imbued with all his strength, was timed perfectly, catching his opponent just as he turned around.

The wind whipped around the man, making his raincoat cling to his body and revealing a sharp, muscular silhouette.

A flash of surprise and anger crossed the attacker's eyes. He reacted incredibly quickly, his body moving backward like a ghost. He swung the dagger in his hand, which emitted a dark purple glow, and slashed at Xu Ming's wrist with a cunning and ruthless angle.

Xu Ming maintained his attack stance, neither dodging nor avoiding, his axe clashing head-on with the dagger.

"Slap-slap~"

The purple light of the dagger collided violently with the air currents from Xu Ming's axe, producing a piercing friction sound.

Although the purple light failed to completely cut through the steam, a cold energy with numbing properties invaded Xu Ming's arm meridians, causing his entire arm to feel a tingling, numb, and stinging pain.

Xu Ming grunted, his movements slightly paused.

But that momentary obstacle was enough.

Yu Ge, who had been poised to strike, suddenly flapped his insect wings.

"Om~"
