Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Mermaid (Please Collect, Like, and Recommend)

The moment Luo Kai pushed open the temple gate, the surroundings changed.

The sky of the midday all at once turned gloomy. Rain fell without any warning. The temple structures were instantly in shambles. Rather than us entering the [Instance] suddenly,

It’s more accurate to say the environment around us changed abruptly. It was more like an Instance descended upon this world.

The scene inside the temple gates took everyone aback.

Innumerable human-like creatures were fighting inside the temple. If we were to describe them using our knowledge,

They were mermaids! Or rather... Mermaids!

In both Eastern and Western lore, there are similar beings. The Western version is referred to as mermaids. They are beautiful creatures with the upper bodies of humans and the tails of fish.

Every child should’ve heard stories about mermaids in their childhood, filled with either pity or sadness for the kind mermaid princess.

But if anyone saw the creatures before us now, aside from shock, they wouldn’t have any other thoughts.

Their bodies were covered in black scales, their hands possessed sharp horns like claws. Their lower halves resembled long, snake-like tails that moved swiftly on the ground.

A hunched over body was nearly 1.7 meters, and with the tail, they were probably around 2.5 meters.

The faces, vaguely human-like, were extremely ferocious. They attacked the humans in front of the temple gate using long spears; among them were some monks and people in black cloaks.

Luo Kai instantly recognized them as members of the [Great Wall] outpost from Jiushan City. He didn’t expect them to be surrounded here.

They also noticed Luo Kai and his group, one of the men from the [Great Wall] shouted, "Finally, you are here! Quickly help us hold them off, we’ll be safe once the rain stops!"

The mermaids nearby clearly noticed Luo Kai’s group. At least a hundred mermaids turned around uniformly. Their glowing blue eyes gave everyone a chill.

"Starting off with a battlefield scenario? Damn it." Just as Luo Kai instinctively reached for his weapon, he suddenly felt a profound sense of danger from behind.

"The people from [General Mountain] are going to turn on us? That shouldn’t happen! There’s no reason for that at this time!" Attacking allies when surrounded by enemies? That’s a suicide mission!

Luo Kai turned around instantly, and he saw a figure surrounded by electric arcs rapidly approach him. The blue flame on his mask flared wildly, it was Li Ba!

All the [Great Wall Players] had expressions of shock, even Xiao Nan looked surprised. She naturally wouldn’t assume that Li Changhe would attack [Great Wall], she was surprised by the sudden sense of danger emanating from Li Changhe.

It felt like something was locking onto him, pursuing him.

"Stay away! Quickly kill the enemies!"

Li Changhe roared, his voice echoed throughout the field.

Damn it, my luck is terrible! Not only is this [Task] a [Recurring Task], it also changed into a [Instance Task].

The moment he entered this instance, Li Changhe felt an immense malicious intent enveloping him.

And in his [Player Panel], the description for his [Negative Status].

The note for [Tingdaros Hound’s Curse] had changed into [Tingdaros Hound has discovered you].

What the fuck, isn’t this unreasonable! I’m only level 6, and I just got a girlfriend. Do you want to have me killed?

Li Changhe cursed in his heart, he had spent quite a bit of energy to kill Tie Xiong previously. After summoning the Great Tang army, he used [Hundred-Headed Shooter], and his energy only returned to 35% at present.

Now he can’t even switch back to [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers] to summon horses. Switching [Title Skill] requires twenty-four hours.

The effect of [Hundred-Headed Shooter] only had about three minutes remaining. It might not be too useful against Tingdaros Hound.

Even if his teammates would help, under the siege of these mermaids, the possibility of losing is high.

Li Changhe indeed found a method to prevent Tingdaros Hound in the [forum], but in the face of a siege, there’s no way to apply it.

Li Changhe quickly assessed the current situation. The mermaids hadn’t stormed the temple yet, so it was still a safe haven. The most practical way to protect his teammates and himself was to rush to the temple and prepare necessary measure.

Ignoring the inquiries from Xiao Nan in his [Friends] list.

Li Changhe passed through the [Great Wall Players], pulled out his [Worm Mechanical Bow], and shot at the incoming mermaids.

The ’Moon Triple’ effect was activated, sending three powerful arrows into three nearby mermaids.

A ’dang’ echoed as each arrow hit. The impaled mermaids turned into bloody muck. The arrow also pierced through a few mermaids behind them.

In an instant, he tore a hole in the mermaid encirclement. His first attack had already killed about ten mermaids.

This was Li Changhe’s true attacking power. Previously, the physique of Tie Xiong was too high, after adding the protection, he became extremely tough.

It took dozens of arrows from Li Changhe to shatter his protection before he could kill Tie Xiong.

But against ordinary carbon-based creatures, they wouldn’t be able to withstand even one arrow. If Li Changhe were to return to the [Tang Dynasty Plague] instance with his bow now, he could teach those ratmen a lesson on their own.

Luo Kai saw Xiao Nan followed up immediately. Although he didn’t know why this ’Li Ba’ suddenly became so brave, his aura was somewhat concerning. Still, he followed closely behind with the [Players].

Pan Ke slightly squinted and muttered, "Fantasy Species curse? It’s a dangerous curse. What the hell?"

On the other side, Li Changhe kept firing arrows, aware that his action had drawn the ire of multiple malicious gazes. Even Yun Ting, an ethereal creature, could vaguely sense the approaching terror.

Did the Tingdaros Hound have so many eyes?

Li Changhe cursed under his breath, stomping on the bloody, muddy ground. He moved towards the besieged humans.

The [Great Wall] and ’General Mountain’ group had followed and helped Li Changhe watch out for any blind spots from a safe distance.

They recognized that Li Changhe’s long-range attacks were formidable. The group only needed to keep the mermaids away from him. They could then quickly break through the battlefield.

Xiao Nan did not get close to Li Changhe either. She knew him too well. Asking her to stay away clearly implied danger. If she insisted, he might do something unexpected.

Li Changhe replied to Xiao Nan in [Friends]: "Don’t worry. I’ll be safe once I reach the temple."

On the other side, the humans under attack suddenly felt their pressure significantly reduced.

Then, from a pile of mermaids on the temple steps, a splash of blood erupted. A figure, clad in ancient armour and a bronze mask with fire flickering across its surface, stepped on the mermaids’ bodies to ascend the steps, carrying a strange mechanical bow.

"Holy shit, where did Yanyun Division find this tough guy?" A [Great Wall Player] standing in front of the temple gate widened his eyes. Regardless of his power level, the menacing aura emanating from him and his dramatic entrance were far from ordinary players.

From the bronze mask came an impatient voice: "Is it safe inside the temple? Is there enough space inside?"

The [Great Wall Player] thought to himself: We haven’t pushed back the enemy yet, are you planning to rest?

Li Changhe and his group had just penetrated the dense mermaid frontlines. They hadn’t driven the mermaids away yet.

Reluctantly, the [Great Wall Player] nodded and replied: "Yes, it’s our last defensive line."

Then, he saw the guy rushed into the temple quickly. From the space in his hand appeared a...small Mongolian yurt? He immediately crawled in.

A sigh of relief resonated: "Safety at last, everyone keep going!"

Huh?

The [Great Wall Player] was dumbfounded, turning his gaze back to the incoming mermaids.

"Safe my ass!"
