Chapter 233: Nita
On the other side, while the guards were distracted by the ladder, Fangxing and Fenghua quietly slipped out of the small house.
Just as they were nearing the city wall, Fangxing suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Fenghua looked at her, puzzled by her sudden halt.
“Where is… this?” Fangxing looked around in confusion, stretching her arms stiffly, resembling someone who had just woken up.
“…” Fenghua was baffled, wondering if this was the time for jokes. If they were discovered, getting to the city wall, let alone escaping, would be a problem.
“Sorry, sorry… I was really sleepy just now and said some nonsense.”
“…It’s fine.” Although it seemed a bit suspicious, she whispered, “We’re going to make our move soon, so focus. Dying here would be a waste!”
“Mm!”
…
Fangxing’s movements were light and silent; if one didn’t listen closely, they wouldn’t hear the sound of her touching the floor.
Especially since it was the time of battle with guns blazing.
To climb up the city wall, they had to ascend the stairs on both sides, but there were two Shadow Warriors guarding each side, making it the biggest obstacle for them.
“Run faster, you useless fools! They’ve set up another ladder over there. What use does Lord help you if you can’t even hold back a mere human race?” A furious voice came from above, seemingly scolding these Shadow Warriors.
The city wall was filled with chaotic footsteps, indicating that the players’ assault was getting fiercer.
No wonder; Shadow Warriors were Gold Grade minions, each capable of dropping Gold Tier items, and even rare skill books.
But it would take some luck to obtain those spoils.
So far, although the Shadow Warriors showed signs of exhaustion, none of them had firmly held their ground on the city wall.
This was because Shadow Erosion was not only a high-damage magical attack but also had the effect of corrosion suppression. Even a fully defensive knight would feel like paper after taking this attack.
After sticking to the wall for a full minute, the guards above hadn’t left.
“Should we try using the crystal?” Fenghua turned her head to ask.
“No.” Fangxing shook her head; Axe Dust had already explained the current situation to her.
“Our sudden disappearance should’ve caught their attention. Talking to them would only let more people find out.”
“That makes sense…” Fenghua thought for a moment, her eyes shifting. “Then let’s just charge in.”
The space of the trap was limited, and they couldn’t fly. Moreover, with the Shadow Warriors’ health being 47,000, they couldn’t be taken down instantly, so charging in was their only option.
“No need, just watch me.” Fangxing smiled knowingly, drawing the Qiu Yue Sword and aiming at the slightly tilted notice board on the other side.
Although there were square letters on it, it was too far to see clearly what was written.
This should be remnants left from Huawucheng; the Shadow Lord hadn’t renovated the buildings inside, and it was unknown what he had done after seizing the place.
However, it could now be utilized.
As her body recoiled with the swing of the sword, a gust of sword energy surged forth from the Qiu Yue Sword—Frenzied Sword Technique!
Dizzy!
With Fangxing’s attack power, the surging sword energy shattered the notice board in half.
After the fall of Huawucheng, such public facilities lost the protection of the system and could be freely destroyed.
Bang!
The falling notice board hit the ground, making a loud noise.
“What is it!?” The guards on both sides heard the sound and rushed down the stairs, clearly alarmed.
Someone managed to sneak into the city!? They had to deal with this immediately!
As the guards rushed over, Fangxing dashed from the other side, almost perfectly slipping past the Shadow Warriors.
“Why are you so skilled at this?!” Fenghua exclaimed, quickly following suit.
The distance of the stairs wasn’t long; within 20 seconds, the two reached the top.
“You are…?” One of the Shadow Warriors hesitated upon seeing her, whose presence indicated she was carrying a magic crystal.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps pounding up the stairs came from behind.
They really came quickly!
Ice Moon Slash!
Frost was enchanted on the sword edge, instantly turning the Shadow Warrior into an ice block upon contact.
-6792
His mouth opened wide, but he couldn’t utter a word.
Ignoring the ice block, the two rushed toward the nearest Magic Crystal Cannon.
This cannon had just fired, its surface glowing red hot; if it didn’t cool down, the next shot might backfire.
Clang!
Fangxing struck down with her sword, reducing the Magic Crystal Cannon’s durability by 3%.
This thick!?
Phew!
Fenghua also tried shooting an arrow; it reduced the durability by another 2%, leaving 95%.
The cannon’s armor must belong to building armor; otherwise, it wouldn’t have lost so little health.
“Capture them!” At this moment, the guards from the stairs had arrived, time was running out!
“…Star… Star Cat!” Fangxing inexplicably stammered, while the Ice Frost Tiger roared and appeared before her.
“Block the Magic Crystal Cannon!”
Star Cat reacted quickly, the Ice Cone manifesting above it. If they blocked it in, that cannon should become temporarily useless, but it was uncertain how long the skill’s effect would last.
Meanwhile, Fenghua was drawing her bow, and a Meteor Arrow whistled out, knocking the Shadow Warrior back.
“You… are adventurers from the Otherworld?” Suddenly, an unfamiliar male voice sounded from the left.
And there’s still someone?
Fangxing turned around in disbelief, as there had clearly been no one there earlier! In her view was a man with black hair, an unremarkable appearance, but his eyes were filled with lifelessness. His clothes were riddled with bloodstains and holes, with a few ants crawling on them. Yet he seemed oblivious, mumbling, “You… are.”
Fangxing nodded, feeling that he was quite strange. **View Information!**
Undead: Nita
Rarity: Silver Grade
Level: 20
Description: A soldier of Huawucheng, resurrected by undead magic after death.
With this scene, Axe Dust remembered what Kurei said—only specialized personnel could use the Magic Crystal Cannon.
“Then… are you really here to liberate us?” Nita’s mumbling voice contained a hint of choking.
Seeing his worn-out state, it seemed he had suffered greatly under the undead in life.
“…” Fangxing was momentarily at a loss for how to respond to someone who has suffered.
“…Not… is it? It makes sense… in our current state, we can no longer be considered human.”
Just then, the Shadow Warriors had already surrounded them, and countless Shadow Erosions were about to be cast.
“Adventurers… come over here,” Nita looked at the dense magical array without fear, grabbing the cannon’s body with both hands and actually forcing it to turn!
“Fool! What you’re doing will lead you to inevitable ruin!” The Shadow Warriors were stunned for a moment and then mocked, knowing that if he dared to do something harmful to them, he would be obliterated in an instant!
However, unexpectedly, Nita suddenly stopped and cleared the position.
He pointed at a raised button on the cannon’s head and calmly said, “Just strike this location…”
