"I've already occupied the church. Send a few people over to speed up the formation condensation time... it would be best if you called them over too."

"Okay!!"

Li Shuwen put down the walkie-talkie, a trace of bewilderment flashing in his eyes.

"There's a great serpent there, very powerful, I might not be able to handle it..." These words echoed in his ears, as if he were hearing things.

You basically won just by walking over there, how can you tell me you might not be able to beat it?

No way, boss, you're even messing with me about this!

Li Shuwen shook his head to clear away distracting thoughts and hurried off to notify Cao Yaxuan and the others.

All the women from Dorm 200 were at the front of the formation. Wang Yazhi was fighting like a one-woman army, while Gu Ya and Sherry were among the ranks of the tenth-floor players.

Neither woman was skilled in close combat, and their speed couldn't compare to Wang Yazhi's.

Upon receiving the news, Cao Yaxuan and the other women gathered together.

"Teacher Sherry, the monster tide is about to arrive. You stay with Huihui and the others. We need to hurry over to support Xu Lang," Wang Yazhi said to Sherry with great decisiveness.

Occupying a stronghold required an assault battle. The more people there were, the faster the formation would condense and take shape, but monsters would also attack.

"Okay!" Sherry nodded.

"Be careful," Tong Qi urged.

Wu Huihui waved her hand and said, "No problem, you go ahead first. We'll escort Teacher Sherry over!"

"Huihui, are you all going too?" Xu Ruyan asked.

"Of course!" Wu Huihui nodded. "Otherwise, why did we gather here? Isn't it to work together with one heart?"

"Well said!" Li Shuwen, who had by now settled the third-floor players, arrived with several dozen elite personnel. "Although you are strong, you are too few in number. Ultimately, you can't cover everything. I think we can still play some collaborative role."

Mainly, if Xu Lang died, he felt the Mad King Building would be finished. So rather than dawdling on the periphery, it was better to drive straight to the heart of the matter and fight side by side with Xu Lang. That would also increase the probability of successfully occupying the stronghold.

"Alright, then we'll head out first!" Wang Yazhi made a prompt decision and nodded.

"I still think leaving Teacher Sherry here isn't safe. Yazhi, you clear the path. I'll carry Teacher Sherry with me," Han Zhixiu said at that moment, her gaze shifting as she directly hoisted Sherry onto her back.

She gave Sherry no chance to refuse, carrying her as she left.

Han Zhixiu was a martial artist, her actions very decisive, and she disliked delays.

Moreover, she genuinely felt in her heart that being with Xu Lang would be safer than staying here, even if that place was the eye of the storm.

Wang Yazhi and the others said no more, leaping forward to follow Han Zhixiu.

On the way to the stronghold, the women saw many monsters.

However, those monsters that were usually exceptionally vicious towards players now completely ignored them, all charging headlong in one direction.

Not long after, the women saw the church in the distance.

"Why do I feel the ground shaking?" Zhen Lu, currently in cheetah form, spoke in human language.

"There's something below!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly, floating beside Tong Qi, looked towards the ground.

The sensation of vibration grew from far to near, arriving very quickly.

Rumble rumble~

The earth churned, forming three raised tracks that then stopped in front of the church. Three centipede heads larger than truck cabs emerged from the ground.

Just as the three giant centipedes were about to enter the church, a biting cold wind suddenly arrived!

Cao Yaxuan, enveloped in wind and snow, condensed Ultimate Frost Energy in her palm into an ice pillar. The moment the other end touched the giant centipede, the upper half of the centipede instantly froze.

The next second, the frost exploded. The giant centipede's upper half turned into ice shards, its lower half still stuck in the soil.

At the same time, a white-clad figure descended like moonlight, a sword flash severing the head of another giant centipede!

The remaining centipede, not yet realizing its two companions had died, brazenly charged its head into the interior of the church.

Boom!

Its head, shimmering with a dark glow, collided with a leather shoe, then violently exploded, the scene quite spectacular.

Xu Lang kicked the giant centipede out of the church doorway with another foot, then looked at the arriving women with a smile. "You're pretty fast."

"Of course. How much longer do we need to hold the stronghold?" Cao Yaxuan laughed, then landed.

Although she was laughing, her expression was somewhat grave.

Along the way, she had seen many monsters.

One had to remember, there were no dormitory doors or turrets here. The upcoming monster tide would have to be endured head-on.

"The formation condensation speed is very, very slow. A conservative estimate is one day," Xu Lang said, shaking his head.

Xu Ruyan and the others also arrived. Hearing this, their expressions all turned serious.

Not long after, the encirclement by the Blood Mist creatures gradually took shape, and then Li Shuwen and the others arrived on the scene.

With the addition of so many players, the formation condensation speed instantly increased more than tenfold. The situation wasn't as bad as imagined.

If they really had to hold for a full day, Xu Lang would have considered running away.

... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

More and more Blood Mist creatures swarmed over.

At first, it was okay. Everyone could intercept the Blood Mist creatures outside. Later, there were simply too many Blood Mist creatures, almost condensing into a solid disc, making it impossible to see the edges at a glance.

In this battle, Cao Yaxuan made a great contribution.

The crowd control ability of an ice elemental spellcaster was truly formidable.

Although Xu Lang was invincible, he couldn't stop the Blood Mist creatures from continuously charging towards the church. If not for Cao Yaxuan, the stronghold might really have been snatched away by the Blood Mist creatures.

"Almost done, hold on a little longer!" Li Shuwen, covered in blood, supported his body with his spear. His eyes were bloodshot, fixed intently on the faint glow of the formation at his feet.

Although the church was exceptionally sturdy, it had still been battered into disarray by the monsters. The players had to form battle formations to face the enemy.

As the Floor Leader, he naturally couldn't show cowardice and had to hold the front line. If not for good luck, he might have died once already.

Xu Lang stood at the church entrance, four arms each holding a different weapon!

One hand held a blade, another a sword. The upper left arm wielded a giant axe, the upper right arm a giant hammer. Alone, he could hold off one entire flank of Blood Mist creatures.

Hearing Li Shuwen's shout, he glanced back, then pierced his gaze deep into the heart of the Blood Mist creatures. All his Innate True Qi was mobilized at this moment, condensed onto the four weapons.

One blade slash cleared the Blood Mist creatures in front with a spatial cleave. Then he moved to the right side, the sword also releasing a spatial cleave, followed by the rear and the left.

This wasn't the first time Xu Lang had done something like this.

Inside the church, Zheng Kai watched with a pounding heart.

He himself had lost count of how many recovery potions he'd used by now, yet Lang Ge didn't seem to have used any, right?

What exactly is the deal with Lang Ge's transformation form? How is his stamina so strong?

As long as he is fighting, the Blood Rakshasa's stamina is limitless!

And it only grows stronger.

After releasing the four spatial cleaves, Xu Lang's body paused almost imperceptibly. Then he dismissed his Rakshasa True Form and stepped into the church.

The moment he walked in, the formation finished charging!
