In the end, the band of light disappeared, but the Skeleton Soldiers that rushed into the col were almost wiped out. The ones that were lucky enough to survive were scattered all over the place. Not a single Skeleton Soldier had a full health bar, and many of them were even on the verge of death.
Unfortunately, there was no way to finish them off.
As usual, Tang Hao's body was completely hollowed out by the One Blade Shura. He was so weak that he couldn't even stand properly. His eyes were even a little dazed. He didn't know if it was because the game world was gradually evolving towards reality. He looked at the skull not far away, which was spinning like a little star.
… This feeling of being drunk was really terrible!
Then he saw his body start to turn into light …
"I leveled up!"
"I leveled up!"
"I leveled up too!"
"20, 21, 22 … I've reached Level 22!"
"I'm level 23!"
A series of surprised voices came from behind. Tang Hao then realized that he didn't turn into light, but a special effect of leveling up. That Asura Slash had killed at least fifty to sixty Skeleton Soldiers. Even if the Level 30 Skeleton Soldiers were split evenly among ten players, the experience gained would still be massive. It would be enough for a Level 17 or 18 player to level up three or four times.
Tang Hao was also excited. A large amount of EXP did not only increase his level, but also his combat power. Now that everyone was more than level 20, it would be much easier to fight against the skeleton soldiers.
Huh?
At this moment, Tang Hao suddenly noticed a skeleton soldier running over from the front of his field of vision.
Monsters were different from players. They were not limited by stamina and did not fear death. Even if they only had a drop of health left, they would still have the same combat power. Therefore, the only way was to kill them!
Oh no, I can't move my body …
Tang Hao's expression changed. He didn't have the strength to finish off the skeleton soldiers, but these skeleton soldiers were ready to finish him off. They really didn't have the manners of a villain … In a daze, he saw a millet-colored figure on his right.
No one could live alone. Tang Hao never felt that asking for help was a shameful thing, so he immediately shouted, completely losing the dignity of a leader. "Asuna, save me!"
Asuna also noticed the situation. She jumped up and kicked Tang Hao's waist.
Ah, it was the feeling of flying.
Bang!
Before Tang Hao landed on the ground, he was caught by someone. Looking back, he saw Kirito looking at him with a concerned look. "Are you okay?"
Tang Hao curled his lips, looking a little unhappy. "I think you two are doing things the other way around. According to the usual routine, you should be the one kicking me away, and then Asuna will gently catch me."
"Didn't you ask Asuna for help first?"
"… Oh right!"
"How much longer do you guys want to dawdle there? Come and help me! " After sending Tang Hao flying with a kick, Asuna took on the Skeleton Soldier's attack by herself. She had just consumed a Health Potion, and with the addition of her level, her strength had risen to a whole new level. Her super fast attacks actually suppressed the Skeleton Soldier. However, in the blink of an eye, more Skeleton Soldiers rushed at her, and she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Klein, protect Nitian." Seeing this, Kirito immediately handed over Tang Hao to Klein, and then quickly rushed over to help Asuna resist the skeleton soldiers' attack.
"Don't get caught up in the fight, their numbers are low. Try to stall for time," Tang Hao ordered while drinking a Health Potion to restore his stamina.
Kirito and Asuna understood and immediately spread out.
The inside of the mountain was shaped like a big basin, and there were many stone pillars several meters high on the ground. This kind of terrain was very advantageous for the players. As long as they used it well, they could easily kite the monsters … Of course, if they weren't skilled enough, they could also kill themselves.
There was no doubt about Kirito and Asuna's skills, and even Agil was a good player. Klein's friends, on the other hand, didn't have much confidence, so they stood together with Klein to protect Tang Hao from the other skeleton soldiers' attacks.
There were still about 50 or 60 skeleton soldiers on the scene. Taking advantage of the terrain, they fought while moving forward, like walking a dog. Although there were several thrilling situations, in the end, they were still safe.
After dragging on like this for about three minutes, Tang Hao's depleted stamina finally recovered.
"Klein, take two people with you to distract the skeleton soldiers here. The three of you go to Kirito's side and share some of the pressure. Also, tell them not to get too far away …"
As soon as Tang Hao recovered, he immediately commanded Klein and the others to take action. Perhaps their skills weren't top-notch, but their execution was quite stable, probably because they were all adults. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Hao began his journey of killing the skeleton soldiers.
The team of ten people was divided into four groups, and each group contained a certain number of skeleton soldiers, so that they couldn't encircle them. This greatly reduced the threat, allowing Tang Hao to wander around the edge of the battlefield.
"Leave this one to me, watch my righteous backstab!"
"Don't worry, I'm coming, another one!"
"Wait, this one's health is almost depleted, leave the head to me!"
"Oh, this one is so beautiful, let me kill it!"
"Ouch, this skeleton soldier doesn't seem to be very healthy …"
"Damn, this guy's health is still full, he's not giving me any face at all!"
In this way, Tang Hao acted like a firefighter, and whenever a team member was about to collapse, he would always appear in time to deal a fatal blow to the skeleton soldier, or when the skeleton soldier's health was almost depleted, he would kill it in time.
Continuous killing meant a lot of experience and leveling up, and it didn't take long for everyone to level up. Tang Hao reached level 28, and Kirito and Asuna were level 27. The original level difference between the three began to gradually close.
This was also natural, the experience difference between the lower levels would only get smaller and smaller as the levels increased.
With the significant increase in level, there were only a dozen skeleton soldiers left on the scene, and they could no longer pose a threat to the team. In a short moment, Tang Hao killed them one by one.
"This time we really made it big!"
When the battle subsided, Klein and the others shouted excitedly. They had thought that this would be a thrilling operation. When they first saw the hundreds of skeleton soldiers, they had almost lost all hope. But who would have thought that they would rely on the terrain and the strength of ten people to annihilate the group of skeleton soldiers.
Although these Skeleton Soldiers were relatively stingy and didn't drop any equipment or coins, compared to the experience and level increase, it was negligible.
Now, the highest level was Tang Hao, and the average level was 25. The ten of them were undoubtedly standing at the forefront of the game, and even the original first echelon players were far behind them!
However, compared to the pure joy of leveling up, what Tang Hao cared about the most was the progress of the quest.
He clicked on it — 430/1000.
In other words, he had killed a total of 120 quest monsters in more than an hour!
Success was no longer unattainable!
