The battle progressed surprisingly smoothly. After only five minutes, the monsters' respawn speed could not keep up with Li Huailin's killing speed. The number of zombies on the battlefield gradually decreased. Li Huailin still had time to ask Jade Emperor for some mana potions. He could not keep up with the large area of effect skills. Li Huailin had never added Intelligence, and his Human Talent had been deducted 10%. The Secret Treasure of Truth had deducted 20 points. Now, Li Huailin was definitely mentally retarded. He would run out of mana after a few area of effect skills.
"Something's not right," Jade Emperor suddenly said. "Isn't it too easy?"
"That's because I'm in." Li Huailin casually killed a zombie and said.
"No, even if you aren't included, this mission is still too simple," said the Jade Emperor Summoning.
"Yeah." Feng Yiliu also walked over and said, "I also think it's a little strange. Although these zombies look very strong, and there are a lot of them, their weakness is too obvious. Their movements are too slow. I was just pulling more than ten of them, but I wasn't even hit once. I think even if I did this mission alone, even though it would take a little more time to talk, I could still complete it. It feels too easy."
"Yeah, I can even kite a group of zombies by myself. It's too slow. It's basically giving me experience," Millennium Invariant said while shooting arrows. "But it doesn't give much experience. One is only 84 points, and it's a level 36 elite monster. I can't believe it."
"The most important thing is … everyone, I think we're here to fight the Headless Horseman. Where's the boss?" Jade Emperor said.
The four of them immediately looked around. The Headless Horseman that was supposed to walk on the water was nowhere to be seen. It was indeed a little strange.
Just as they were wondering, a crocodile suddenly rushed out of the village. It immediately attracted everyone's attention. They turned around and saw that the crocodile-man was Dors, whom they had thrown into the lake. When they saw Dors, they felt that something was wrong. Dors was in a very bad state. There were a lot of blood stains on his body, and his face was a little black. It seemed like he had been attacked.
"Monster! The monster is coming from the northern entrance of the village! " Dors said hurriedly, "Meg is holding them off by herself. She can't hold them off much longer."
"F * ck!" Just when they felt that something was strange, something happened over there. The five of them immediately gave up on the zombies and followed Doles into the village.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached the north side of the village, they saw a fire burning around them. Many of the wooden houses in the village had been set ablaze, and there were Crocodile-People fleeing everywhere. They didn't know where to go, so they could only find a safe place to hide.
But of course, there were some who didn't leave. From afar, they saw a stalwart figure standing on the road of the village, holding a giant stick in her hand, and around her was a large group of monsters. They weren't the low-level zombies they had fought before, but monsters called bloody ghouls.
These bloody ghouls looked a bit like larger monkeys, but they looked much more ferocious. They were black, had sharp claws on their forelimbs, and had fangs in their mouths. From afar, their movement speed couldn't be compared to zombies. They were definitely powerful monsters. Li Huailin immediately looked at them.
Bloody Ghoul (Level 39 Elite): 4800 HP, 205 Physical Attack, 160 Physical Defense, 0 Magic Attack, 140 Magic Defense.
In terms of attributes, the bloody ghoul's attributes couldn't compare to zombies that were two levels lower than it. But in terms of movement, this monster couldn't be compared to zombies at all. It was much stronger.
However, Meg wasn't weak either. Facing a group of ghouls, she wasn't afraid at all. She hit a ghoul that was rushing towards her with her stick, and it flew far away. It couldn't get up for a long time. The surrounding ghouls seemed to be very afraid of Meg. They circled around her, but they didn't dare to attack.
"Huff … huff …" Meg looked very tired. After hitting a ghoul, she put the giant stick on the ground and breathed heavily. Her pair of crocodile eyes stared at the ghouls in front of her.
"Meg!" Doles shouted. "The warriors are here!"
"Don't come over!" Meg suddenly shouted, but she didn't turn around. "He's nearby!"
"Huh? Who? "Li Huailin asked curiously.
A bell rang, and everyone immediately looked up. In the darkness, a huge shadow appeared. It was a person riding on a warhorse. This person and his warhorse were wearing very thick armor, but the scary thing was that this "person" didn't have a head. Immediately, everyone thought of his name — Headless Horseman.
The Headless Horseman was very tall, and even his warhorse was huge. It was almost as big as Li Huailin's mount, Millet. However, such a huge warhorse didn't make any sound when it galloped. It only made some light ringing sounds. It was very difficult to notice in this chaotic situation. While everyone was shocked by the appearance of the Headless Horseman, the Headless Horseman raised his sword and charged at Meg.
"Meg!" Everyone immediately shouted. Meg had been looking at the surrounding ghouls, so she probably didn't see the Headless Horseman rushing towards her from the side.
"Huh?" Meg heard the shout and immediately raised her head. Immediately, she saw the Headless Horseman rushing towards her. An instinctive fear immediately appeared in her heart.
"Damn it!" Li Huailin cursed inwardly and immediately rushed towards Meg's direction. The few people behind him also immediately followed. Although Li Huailin and the others were very fast, it wasn't enough. The Headless Horseman had already arrived in front of Meg. The Headless Horseman raised his sword and slashed at Meg.
"Meg, run!" Doles shouted. "You're no match for him!"
But at this moment, Meg didn't move.
"Everyone in the village was killed by you! You monster! " Meg stood on the spot and gripped the huge rod in her hand tightly. She gritted her teeth and said, "I can't defeat you, but I must give it my all for this last strike …"
After saying that, Meg raised her huge rod and smashed it back at the Headless Horseman who was swinging his sword at her.
With a dull thud, Meg's huge rod smashed heavily on the Headless Horseman's armor. At the same time, the Headless Horseman's sword slashed across Meg's chest. The Headless Horseman's body shook violently, but he didn't fall. He continued riding forward on his horse, while Meg's entire right shoulder and right arm were chopped off. She spat out blood and fell backward.
"Poof!" Just before Meg fell to the ground, Li Huailin finally arrived. He took the opportunity to catch Meg's falling head, preventing it from hitting the ground.
The Headless Horseman had already galloped far away on his horse and had no intention of turning back. Li Huailin and the others arrived a little later. When they saw Li Huailin catching Meg, the remaining four immediately rushed toward the ghouls.
Li Huailin hugged Meg's head and sat on the ground. Upon closer inspection, Meg's body was already covered in wounds, probably caused by the ghouls. It was probably difficult for her to even stand. It was already a miracle that she could still make that last attack. It seemed like she knew that she couldn't escape this time, so she chose to give the Headless Horseman the final blow.
Meg had lost too much blood, and her life was coming to an end. Her consciousness was starting to blur. Meg squinted her eyes and looked at Li Huailin again.
"Human … I … I think I'm going to die …" Meg said while vomiting blood.
"You've done well," Li Huailin said calmly.
"Re-really …" Meg forced a smile and asked.
"Yes, you've done well," Li Huailin repeated again.
"I … I still don't know … your name …" Meg said again.
"My name is Li …" Li Huailin was about to say, but Meg had already collapsed. Her chest that had been heaving up and down also stopped.
"…" Li Huailin slowly placed Meg's body on the ground and placed her remaining left hand on her chest. He said slowly, "My name is Li Huailin. You've done well. Leave the rest to me."
"Meg!" Dolce, who was at the side, immediately ran over and cried beside Meg.
"Huailin." At this time, Feng Yiliu and the others came back. "They've retreated."
"Huh?" Li Huailin raised his head. The surrounding ghouls had given up on chasing the fleeing villagers. Instead, they chose to run back to the north of the village. The Headless Horseman seemed to have no intention of running back. He disappeared into the darkness, and no one knew where he went.
"It seems that Meg's attack injured the Headless Horseman, and he chose to retreat," the Jade Emperor said as he walked back. "She saved the whole village."
"It should have been our mission, but now Meg has saved the village. We are in a sorry state," Millennium Unchangeable said with a sigh.
"It's embarrassing enough. Don't repeat it," Li Huailin said as he stood up. "It seems that we have to complete this mission to the end."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
