Free Web NovelChapter 55: Chapter 55: Skeleton Dog
Time passed quickly.
The system issued a notification:
[The second wave of Magical Beasts will be teleported in 5 minutes. Teleportation point: 「Coordinates」]
The location wasn’t far, just a few dozen meters away.
"Everyone, follow me. We’re moving to another location. The enemy will appear in five minutes, so stay sharp."
"Yes, sir!"
The Female Soldiers’ morale was sky-high.
Gu Qing asked, "Lord, are we just leaving these Goblins tied up here?"
Zhao Chi nodded. "That’s right. Just tie them to the trees. Kill anyone who dares to run!"
Gu Qing smiled, looking as harmless as a kitten as she addressed the Goblins. "Understood. If anyone dares to run, I’ll gouge out your eyes while you’re still alive, disembowel you while you’re still alive, and then slowly roast you to death over a fire!"
The Goblins broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don’t gouge out my eyes! I won’t run."
"I’m not running. Me neither."
"Kewuka said he was going to run."
"Bullshit! I’m not running!"
All the Goblins loudly pleaded their case.
Gu Qing’s threat was very effective.
Zhao Chi nodded. "Good. If you don’t run, you all have a bright future ahead of you. Let’s go."
The 81 women followed Zhao Chi to the new coordinates.
They quietly awaited the second wave of Magical Beasts.
One minute remaining.
Countdown: 3, 2, 1.
[Round Two begins!]
"Everyone, be ready! Here they come!"
The white Wall of Fog ahead began to tremble, growing thinner and thinner.
Beneath the thinning mist, a small pack of short, white creatures appeared.
They were crouched on the ground, letting out low growls.
Tang Ruan squinted, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"Lord, are those... a dozen or so white dogs?"
Gu Qing said, "Those aren’t white dogs. They’re 20 Skeleton Dogs."
Zhao Chi immediately ordered, "Skeleton Dogs can’t be captured. Kill them all! Go!"
"Yes, sir!" The women charged out.
"AWOOO~" A coarse, low howl.
At Zhao Chi’s command, both sides charged at each other simultaneously.
The Skeleton Dogs were made of nothing but bone.
Their white bones were tightly packed together.
The Skeleton Dogs’ bodies were very light, but their Movement Speed was high.
They also possessed the common Talent of Skeletons: Fearless.
Facing 81 women who were eyeing them like predators, the 20 Skeleton Dogs showed no fear and charged ferociously.
Their jaws gaped wide, revealing teeth as sharp as blades.
"Surround them! Stab!"
The Female Militia stomped their long legs on the ground to halt their momentum, holding their Shields in front of them.
With their right hands, they executed a Direct Stab with their Iron Spears.
It was a move they had practiced thousands of times.
Though still unrefined, it was quite powerful.
Most of the spears accurately struck the Skeleton Dogs.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
A few sounds of metal striking bone rang out.
White Bone Shards scattered across the ground.
Over a dozen Skeleton Dogs were struck by the Iron Spears, either killed or crippled in a single blow.
But the Skeleton Dogs’ Sprinting speed was simply too fast.
A few of them broke through the encirclement of Iron Spears and, like white shadows, dove straight into the Female Soldiers’ formation.
They began to tear madly at the women’s legs and feet.
"Watch your feet!"
"Agh, my Leg Armor!"
"How dare you bite my boot?"
"It’s okay, they can’t break through our Defense!"
"I kicked it away! Stab it, quick!"
"Swarm it!"
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
With another series of crisp, cracking sounds, the remaining Skeleton Dogs all fell to the ground.
Zhao Chi swung his Firewood Knife to kill one, shouting at the same time, "Finish them off! Stab them through the head."
"Yes, sir!"
CRACK, CRACK, CRACK.
Soon, all the Skeleton Dogs were dead.
The Wall of Fog closed once again.
[Round Two Cleared]
[Defeated]20 Skeleton Dogs
[Time]1 minute 57 seconds
[Score]48 points
[Total Score]95 points
[Rank]45th
This time, they were nearly a minute faster than the last.
After all, this time they only had to kill the enemies.
And they earned 1 more point.
However, the number of Skeleton Dogs was double that of the last wave, reaching a total of 20.
’Following this pattern, doesn’t that mean the next wave will have 30 Magical Beasts?’
Regardless, they had smoothly cleared the second round.
It was obvious that the enemies in this second round were much stronger than those in the first.
Three of the Female Soldiers had been bitten.
Zhao Chi immediately went to check on them. "How is it? Are you injured?"
"Reporting to the Lord, I’m not injured. It just left two rows of teeth marks on my Leg Armor and reduced its Durability a little."
"Yeah, Lord. These dogs are so annoying. This Leg Armor and these Leather Boots are brand new."
"Don’t worry, Lord. That dog latched onto my calf, but I didn’t feel any pain at all. It just felt like someone pinched me."
Gu Qing said, "That’s all thanks to the Silk Stockings the Lord gave you, plus the fact that the Lord used Enhancement on your Defense."
Hearing this, the three Female Soldiers all nodded. "Yes, thank you, Lord! Our Defense Power is very high now, especially on our legs and feet."
Tang Ruan added, "And our butts and waists."
Zhao Chi smiled. "As long as you’re not hurt, that’s what matters. Keep resting. It’s still 30 minutes until the next wave of enemies." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The Female Soldiers sat down one after another.
Zhao Chi had used all 5 of these Female Militia’s Enhancement Points to increase their Defense Power.
Their Constitution was all at 6 points, and their Levels ranged from 1 to 3.
Therefore, their Defense Power had all been greatly enhanced, giving them a 36%-48% Bonus.
With the addition of the 37.5% from the Silk Stockings, the Defense Power of their lower bodies reached as high as 73.5%-85.5%.
It was very difficult for these Skeleton Dogs to break through their Defense.
The women sat on the ground, relaxed.
A few of them even arranged the Skeleton Dogs’ ribcages neatly and sat on them like chairs.
Zhao Chi, meanwhile, looked at the grade rankings.
[Live Test Rankings]
[1st Place]Class 1: Hua Yuyin
[2nd Place]Class 10: Yuan Zhao
[3rd Place]Class 9: Zhou Lue
[4th Place]Class 6: Qi Xue
[5th Place]Class 3: Xiao Liu
It was still the same big shots.
Previously, Zhou Lue and Qi Xue weren’t on the list, but now they had squeezed their way on.
But this was only the second round. There would be big changes later on.
He continued scrolling down the list.
[23rd Place]Class 4: Cao Feng
[31st Place]Class 4: Duan Yun
[40th Place]Class 4: Lu Yi
[45th Place]Class 4: Zhao Chi
[178th Place]Class 4: Yang Xiong
Cao Feng was still holding his 23rd place.
’It seems that with his Shadow Leopard and Centaur, dealing with those Skeleton Dogs was a piece of cake for him.’
Duan Yun had dropped 10 places, while Yang Xiong had climbed 31.
’Looks like these kinds of straightforward, charging enemies are a better match for Yang Xiong.’
In the class group chat:
Li Ke: [How did you guys deal with them? Those Skeleton Dogs are too fast. They bit off the legs of 2 of my Skeletons.]
Yin Lan: [The Skeleton Dogs’ charging speed is extremely high. You can create some distance. After they charge, their speed returns to normal.]
Sun Quan: [Li Ke, same here. My Soldiers got their legs bitten off too.]
Cao Feng: [Hmph, Skeleton Dogs? They’re nothing in front of my Shadow Leopard. I cleared it perfectly without losing a single Soldier.]
Shi Juan: [Brother Cao is amazing!]
Zhao Chi: [Brother Cao is amazing!]
Yang Xiong: [Brother Cao is amazing!]
Cao Feng: [Amazing my ass! All of you, shut the hell up!]
Kong Xiang: [Brother Cao is ama...]
[Kong Xiang has retracted a message.]
Cao Feng: [...Not bad, Zhao Chi. You only climbed 8 spots. The gap between us is still night and day. Let’s see how long you can keep smiling. Stop pretending to be so relaxed!]
Zhao Chi: [Brother Cao is so fierce. I’m so scared.]
Yang Xiong: [Hahahaha, I’m so scared too.]
Shi Juan: [What’s wrong with you two? Can you stop copying my way of talking?]
Yang Xiong: [Hahahahahaha]
Cao Feng: [Don’t worry, Shi Juan. When this test is over, I’ll make Zhao Chi cry first, and then it’s Yang Xiong’s turn! Not a single one of you motherfuckers is getting away!]
