“Brother Wang, what do you think this trial is about?”
The speaker, a seasoned professional, pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Brother Wang.
Brother Wang carefully examined the cigarette in his hand; it was from Red Pagoda Mountain.
Before the apocalypse, Brother Wang would have scoffed at this brand of cigarettes, but now!
He treasured the cigarette and tucked it into the lining of his protective suit, then spoke.
“What else could it be? Have you ever played a game?”
“Of course, I have!”
“This trial is just like a dungeon in a game. Now we need to defend the city, let me tell you,” Brother Wang said mysteriously.
“Did you see that guy with the big dog?”
Brother Wang gestured in Wen Yu's direction.
“All we need to do is follow that guy. Whatever he does, we do, because he’s the strongest here! Who knows, we might even be able to cling to the thigh of a strongman!”
“Do you understand?”
After finishing his words with a sense of superiority, Brother Wang took out a partially smoked cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag!
“Hey, why aren’t you talking?”
It wasn't until he had taken several puffs that Brother Wang noticed something was off. It had been almost a minute, and the person beside him hadn’t reacted at all.
Looking at his teammate in confusion, he saw the person just staring blankly at him, mouth agape, unable to say anything.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
Brother Wang asked, then scrutinized the person closely.
The fear and despair in his teammate's eyes were palpable, and his face was visibly paling!
The experiences from the apocalypse made Brother Wang react immediately!
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
Brother Wang opened his mouth and shouted, then quickly retreated, trying to distance himself from his teammate.
But it was too late!
A pale yellow, rope-like object suddenly shot out from his teammate's body, and then the front end abruptly opened, revealing a sharp spike.
Before anyone could react, the spike pierced through Brother Wang's skull!
“Uh, uh...”
Facing everyone, Brother Wang lost the strength to move forward, making unintelligible sounds until the spike transformed again!
Like petals unfurling, the spike that pierced Brother Wang's skull slowly opened, and a tremendous force caused his head to explode, blood and brains splattering everywhere!
As the spike fully opened, a pale red eye appeared at the end of the fleshy appendage.
With a brutal, bloodthirsty gaze, it swept over everyone!
“Prepare for battle!”
William was the first to react, swinging his great sword as a massive sword light cleaved toward the fleshy appendage, but it swiftly dodged!
In an instant, the fleshy appendage disappeared from everyone's sight!
“They're coming!”
Wen Yu squinted, looking at the vast open space outside the city!
Outside, the illusion dissipated, and under Wen Yu’s third-tier professional strength, he clearly saw a mass of dark creatures rushing toward Silver Moon Holy City!
The number was simply overwhelming!
Just then, a loud alarm bell rang.
This was the warning signal for Silver Moon Holy City detecting an enemy attack!
...
As the bell fell silent, a dense noise of friction filled everyone’s ears!
This was the sound of demonic creatures climbing the walls.
As everyone drew their weapons, cautiously looking toward the entrance of the city wall, the previously vanished fleshy whip reappeared in front of them!
With cold, piercing eyes, the fleshy whip grew longer, and a figure slowly climbed up!
It was a creature resembling a salamander, over a meter tall and more than six meters long, completely hairless, with a smooth pale yellow body that looked slimy from a distance. Its massive tail was lined with sharp, terrifying barbs!
Its round, plump head had no eyes, and the fleshy whip was its tongue, as well as its sensory organ!
“Die!”
With William's furious shout, the sword light swept out again.
But!
It was ineffective!
The immense force struck the salamander demon beast, causing a burst of light to glow from the creature!
