After clearing so many normal dungeons, everyone had overlooked the fact that the monsters in this faction dungeon were actually the army of the Sixth Apostle.
The greatest characteristic of the army was not high combat power, but discipline, organization, and formation. Whether it was monsters or players, as long as they lacked these three points, they could only be regarded as a mob.
The first three hawk-riding magic apes should be regarded as scouts. From the moment the first magic ape escaped, everyone should have thought of it.
In the setting of the dungeon, if one of them was not released, the other hawk-riding magic apes would come down in groups of three for the players to kill. This way, the players would naturally be able to clear the dungeon smoothly. However, because they released the hawk-riding magic ape, it attracted a large group of people.
Now, everyone was already halfway up the mountain. If they ran, they would definitely not be able to outrun the flying hawk-riding magic apes. Hundreds of magic apes threw stones down together. In such a narrow mountain path, there was probably no other outcome other than being wiped out.
In the blink of an eye, the hawk-riding magic apes flew directly above Mingdu and Yang Na. Stones the size of millstones fell like rain. Yang Na was a little better. The girl's footwork was mysterious, and Archers had evasion skills. Although it was difficult to dodge, there was no danger to her life for the time being.
Mingdu was in danger. He was a mage, and his only life-saving skill was Flash. With such a large scale of stone rain, Mingdu was rolling and crawling. He was in imminent danger.
Seeing this, Wuji hurriedly said, "Everyone, don't panic. Stand close to the mountain wall and slowly move forward."
There were mountain walls on both sides of this path. The stones thrown by the magic apes from a high altitude would have a trajectory. The path was so narrow that when the stones fell, they would hit the mountain wall and bounce to the side. Although standing close to the mountain wall was not absolutely safe, the survival rate was still much higher than running around.
With that said, Wuji took the lead and leaned against the mountain wall. Mingdu and Yang Na also stood under the mountain wall the moment Wuji gave the order. As expected, there were a lot less stones falling, and the pressure on Mingdu and Yang Na was greatly reduced.
After standing, Dugu Jiuqiang shouted at Wuji, "Let's lead these guys down the mountain."
Wuji said, "Go forward! Don't retreat. These guys are well-trained and there are many of them. It's more dangerous at the foot of the mountain. "
In the face of a large-scale air attack, the best terrain was an air-raid shelter. The mountain walls on both sides played a temporary role. If it was in an open space, there wouldn't even be a barrier, and they would die even faster.
Besides, the mountain road wasn't very wide. With so many stones thrown down, what if the road was blocked and they couldn't go up? The corpses of monsters in the Instance Dungeon would not respawn, not to mention the rocky terrain … So, at this time, everyone could only go up. They could not turn back.
Dugu Jiuqiang didn't want to pay attention to Wuji at first, but after a few steps, he found that there were more and more stones piled up behind him. He had no choice but to follow behind the Quanzhen team.
The team dodged the stones and slowly moved forward. The hawk-riding demonic apes in the sky also followed them and threw stones down in waves. It took them more than ten minutes to walk from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. These hawk-riding demonic apes followed them like ghosts, giving them a headache.
The closer they got to the mountaintop, the lower the mountain walls on both sides. The team was almost crushed to death several times … The mountaintop was right in front of them, but they didn't feel relieved. Instead, they became more and more nervous.
In terms of emptiness, the mountaintop was emptier than the foot of the mountain. After all, the foot of the mountain was a canyon. Although the space was large, it was limited. The mountaintop was different. There was no shelter at all. These hawk-riding demonic apes could kill everyone with a wave of firepower.
The firepower of the hawk-riding demonic apes came wave after wave, not giving them any breathing space, causing everyone to be covered in dust.
"F * ck, these monsters are cooperating too well. If this goes on, it'll be too late." Dugu Jiuqiang shouted exaggeratedly.
Proud Snow Frost, who had followed after resurrecting, also said, "That's right. We could still dodge the stones just now, but now we don't dare to move forward at all."
The cloth-armored classes had short legs and low defense. Not only did Proud Snow Frost and the others on Quanzhen's side felt extremely strained.
As a cloth-armored class, how could Wuji not know this? Wuji thought for a while and said, "We definitely can't kill these monsters head-on, but since the system arranged this feature, there must be a way to solve it. Let's think together and see if there's a good way."
When everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought …
The expert Thunder God was the first to express his opinion. "If we get wiped once, we should be able to leave the battle. After that, will these guys return to their original positions like the skeletons at the foot of the mountain?"
Wuji nodded and said, "Makes sense, but it's useless even if we die now."
"Why?"
Wuji pointed at the path behind him and said, "The path is already blocked. After we die, we will resurrect at the save point at the foot of the mountain. How are we going to come back then?"
When everyone heard this, they looked over and saw that countless stones had been piled up from the foot of the mountain to the waist, blocking the path completely.
"This … If you had listened to us and retreated at the beginning, it would have been fine. It's all because you said to go forward and not turn back that we were forced into a corner." Thunder God once again threw the blame onto Wuji.
"Hehe." Wuji laughed and didn't refute it. Instead, he asked the others, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"
Spring said, "I also think that Thunder God's words make sense. The monsters in the sky are too coordinated. We can't even stand still, let alone deal damage."
"Don't you think it's strange?" Wuji suddenly asked.
"What's strange?" Spring said.
Wuji said, "The skeletons at the foot of the mountain are undead, so it's understandable that they work well together. But don't you think it's strange that these monsters work so well together?"
Undead were a very special group in the game, especially skeletons. These fellows were quite strong, but their intelligence was extremely low.
Because of this, skeletons were the easiest to control. Usually, a Necromancer or a tool could control a large group of skeletons to form a Skeleton Legion.
The Demonic Eagle Rider was a real living creature. From the aspect of knowing fear and running away, it could be seen that the Demonic Eagle Rider's intelligence was not low.
With this kind of intelligence, if they were separated from a commander, it would be very easy for them to fight chaotically. They definitely wouldn't be able to cooperate so well.
"You mean that there's a Boss commanding them?" Spring asked.
"That's right!" WuJi said, "Based on the first stage, this Dungeon is definitely not something that can be cleared with brute force. Every stage has its own method of clearing it. In this stage, as long as we kill the Boss controlling them, these monsters will be able to defeat them."
"But how are we going to find the Boss among so many monsters?" Spring asked.
The sky was densely packed with monsters. Finding the Boss among them would not be easy.
"It's very simple. We'll retreat to the waist of the mountain!"
