Chapter 411 The Prophet's Words Transform People's Hearts into the Dao

Before long, the dozen or so night owls were wiped out by the group in no time.

These Nine Nether Demons wouldn't even qualify as elite bosses in the Lesser Thunder dungeon. Although there were more of them in the Endless Ruins dungeon, they didn't pose much of a challenge to well-prepared players. For a time, the atmosphere within the team was very relaxed and cheerful.

"No wonder someone beat them to it. If all the monsters are this weak, it'll be a breeze to clear the dungeon! We wouldn't be afraid even if a hundred more came! This dungeon is way too easy!"

As the "warehouse manager" in charge of collecting materials and dropping items in the team, Renxin Huadao casually remarked as he collected the feathers scattered on the ground into a brand new Qiankun bag.

But before the words were finished, a noisy sound suddenly came from the distant horizon, like a large flock of birds flapping their wings. Looking in the direction of the sound, a red cloud suddenly rose in the sky, which was already dark and moonless.

A few breaths later, as the red cloud drew closer, the players realized that it wasn't a red cloud at all, but a large flock of Red Feather Night Owls!
Just like its name suggests, the Night Owl, a type of Netherworld Demon, emits a "sound" that cannot be heard by the ears—at least not by ordinary mortals. Human cultivators might be able to detect it to some extent with their profound cultivation, but it would still be very difficult for them to detect it.

This "sound" can cause dark clouds to obscure the sun, winds to rise and fog to rise, making daytime as dark as night, hence the name "Night Caller".

However, ordinary night owls do not have this ability; they only possess it when they appear in groups.

Just now, as all the players were stunned, darkness fell.

Renxin Huadao reacted quickly, immediately calling out over the microphone: "Dalbergia odorifera! Quick! Who brought Dalbergia odorifera! Light the lamps right away!"

The other players hurriedly pulled out their gems, quickly illuminating a large, brightly lit area where they were, so bright that even the distant Night Owl flock could be vaguely seen.

Of course, the exclamations of "Holy crap!" were also continuous, interspersed with many voices cursing the planners, rising and falling incessantly, their emotions even more stirring.

A single Night Owl has limited attack power. It might be troublesome for the native cultivators of the Guixu Realm, but for players who are "immune" to damage targeting the soul because they do not have a soul, it is one of the simplest Nine Nether Demons of the same level.

But that doesn't mean everyone can handle such a large group!
"Who the hell can beat this?!"

The team chat had already exploded with chatter, everyone talking at once.

"At least fifty or sixty, right?!"

"That's too conservative; it should be over a hundred!"

"You damn game designer, tell me how the hell do I play this?!"

"Who the hell jinxed us by saying there would be a hundred more? Come out here, I promise I won't hit you!"

Just as the players were indignant, Nietzsche displayed the composure and calmness of a guild leader, as well as her quick thinking—"I remember there were two Earth Spirit Root players this time, right? Let's build a wall now!"
"Body cultivators should try to pull monsters in melee combat, but don't die. Pull monsters around the walls and try to divide them into several groups!"
"All support and healers, retreat! Ranged DPS will harass, while tanks and melee DPS will pull mobs! Just don't die!"

"Then,"

Nietzsche gritted his teeth and said, "All magic users and high-level warriors, show us your best skills! When I give you the command 'three, two, one,' unleash your spells directly at the wall! Those without ranged attacks, throw out lightning talismans!"
"Those kiting the monsters and those harassing them, listen carefully to my instructions. When I say retreat, immediately run out of the wall's range! Run as fast as you can! Don't let your teammates get hit by the explosion!"
If you understand what you are supposed to do, press '1'!

In just a few words, the team members, who had already worked together seamlessly, understood Nietzsche's plan—

Although the Night Owls are low-level demons with not very high intelligence, they are not stupid. If you throw spells and lightning talismans directly at them, it will most likely be a waste of time and effort—they can fly and dodge.

However, if a wall is erected to block their view, and the players cooperate to remove the earthen wall at the same time for a sudden attack, they can launch a surprise attack with a much higher success rate and accurately strike the entire area, preventing friendly fire.

This tactic was used before when we were exploring the Great Thunder Dungeon. As everyone's cultivation level increased, the tactic was upgraded, and we stopped using this clumsy method. But in this emergency, this method is both effective and ensures that all members can quickly grasp it, making it the best choice.

As Nietzsche continued to issue commands, the team channel fell silent, and the players began unanimously sending "1".

Within a minute or two, the group of red-feathered night owls rushed over. Then, the players who were squatting on the ground gritted their teeth and cast spells. The ground began to shake, and earthen walls rose up from the ground. Broken, weathered, and unidentified bones were pushed up by the soil and rocks, then scattered and fell to the ground.

The two fastest-flying red-feathered night owls didn't even have time to react before crashing into the wall, squawking angrily.

At the same time, a dozen or so cultivators and players wielding short weapons, led by Wu Ke, rushed between several earthen walls and began attacking in all directions, trying to draw the aggro of the Red Feather Night Owls that were forced to stop and were preparing to go around them, and using the walls to kite them back and forth.

Fortunately, these Netherworld Demons were indeed limited in their intelligence and could not comprehend any schemes. They simply instinctively reacted to whoever attacked them, which made Nietzsche's plan very successful.

"Everyone! Everyone, get ready! Everyone, listen to my command and get ready! Listen to me shout—"

Nietzsche shouted repeatedly in the throng:
"Melee fighters and body cultivators, retreat! Melee fighters and body cultivators, retreat! Everyone else, move out of the wall's range! Everyone else, move out of the wall's range!"
"Come on—three—two—one—tighten the wall! Attack! Attack! Attack now!"

Amid Nietzsche's roar, the earth trembled once more, and earthen walls suddenly crumbled into large chunks of shattered earth and stone, collapsing to the ground. The Night Owl, caught in the kite's flight, only saw the location of the main player force after the earthen walls disappeared, only to be met with a barrage of spells and lightning.

Red, blue, and purple flames flickered one after another, accompanied by the cracking sounds of lightning striking and the booming of gunpowder exploding. Smoke rose abruptly, and the shattered bones on the ground, which were still recognizable as bones, were blasted into powder, which was then swept up by the chaotic whirlwind of spiritual energy and scattered in all directions.

However, since there were over a hundred night owls in this flock, Nietzsche hurriedly began directing them again in the communal microphone after seeing the first red-feathered night owl burst out of the smoke.

"Everyone stop attacking! Melee DPS and tanks, keep kiting! Everyone else, split into groups to provide support and deal damage as a squad! The boss hasn't spawned yet, let's finish this quickly!"
