Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

He perched on Edu's shoulder, lost in thought, while Edu relayed the information about the fire-chewing hyena to the guards.

This gave the hunters in command an even bigger headache. These veteran adventurers, who had carried out numerous missions in the bamboo forest, knew very well the status of the Fire-Chewing Hyena in the bamboo forest.

"Another troublesome fellow has arrived. If those high-level adventurers hadn't left, would these magical beasts be so rampant?!"

The hunter cursed and glanced towards the back of the camp.

Asking this group of people to deal with a powerful magical beast like the Fire-Chewing Hyena is really asking too much of them. The difference in their physical attributes means that if they can't beat it, they simply can't beat it.

But they couldn't just throw up their hands and accept their fate.

Adventurers who can survive in dangerous places and build camps must have some skills or tricks up their sleeves.

Within the camp, there are also several powerful ballistae capable of firing magical arrows.

This is a powerful piece of equipment for dealing with high-level monsters.

"Hopefully, those managers will step in at the crucial moment. Only by killing a few of the fire-chewing hyenas that drive away the monsters will this monster horde break apart."

The hunter said this with his eyes narrowed, and the bamboo forest in front of him seemed to respond with a chaotic rustling sound.

The monsters, who had been quiet for a while, were now restless.

Flames mingled with the sounds of explosions as they appeared deep within the bamboo forest; it was the Fire-Chewing Hyenas driving away the horde of monsters.

With a desperate howl from the fire-chewing hyena, a large number of magical beasts emerged from the bamboo forest, unleashing their fastest speed as they attacked the mining camp.

This time, the monster onslaught is not as easy to withstand as before.

Chapter 45 Big Melee

"Bang!" "Whoosh—" "Smack!"...

The first sound to appear in front of the camp was the triggering of a series of traps.

Both the Hunter and Thief classes have the ability to set traps. If one delves deeper into the field of traps, they can advance to become a more advanced Trap Master.

Although there are no such highly qualified personnel in the current camp.

However, the traps at the camp entrance had greatly hindered the monsters' advance.

An explosive trap overturned a shadow leopard, leaving its belly a bloody mess; a fall trap crushed a string of smaller lizard monsters with a large rock; an arrow trap pierced a flying owl, successfully intercepting an attack from mid-air…

The moment the monsters charged, dozens of traps were triggered, slowing their advance.

However, traps are a non-renewable defensive resource, and traps that take a lot of time to set up are used up in less than a minute.

Moreover, the traps have limited power; for larger magical beasts, the traps may not even be able to break through their defenses when triggered.

"A boar has crossed four traps fifteen meters to the left front, a bear is approaching twelve meters directly ahead, and a shadow leopard has already charged to the camp's defensive line on the right..."

The hunter, with his keen observation skills, quickly identified several creatures stronger than normal magical beasts, which posed a significant threat to the defensive line.

The tough-skinned, earth-eating boars and the dog-headed bears must be held off by warriors and adventurers, as ranged classes in the camp have difficulty breaking through their defenses.

Meanwhile, the nimble Shadow Leopard, completely blending into the night, stealthily crept close to the camp and encountered the thieves wielding daggers.

"Thorn-"

The shadow leopard swung its claws fiercely, carving three deep, bone-revealing scratches directly into the thief's chest. It was incredibly fast, leaping nimbly into the camp and giving the adventurer almost no time to react.

But the thief was ruthless. He knew that if he retreated even a step, he might disrupt the camp's defensive formation. So he used a fighting style that was not typical of thieves and stood his ground at the front of the defensive line.

He lowered his hands, plunging the dagger into the ground, suppressing the writhing shadow beneath the Shadow Leopard and blocking the unexploded [Shadow Double Strike].

The thief was clear-headed; he knew that a single claw strike from the Shadow Leopard wouldn't kill him. But if he were hit by [Shadow Double Strike], he would most likely be disemboweled.

"Where are my teammates? Where are my teammates?! Help!"

Having survived one round against the Shadow Leopard, the thief stared at the Shadow Leopard's gaping mouth, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to explode.

He alone could not defeat the shadow leopard in a head-on fight.

"call out--"

In the midst of the crisis, an arrow flew swiftly from beside the thief's ear and struck the Shadow Leopard squarely in the throat, causing the Shadow Leopard to momentarily freeze.

The archers behind, under the hunter's command, took action and narrowly saved the thief's life.

In fact, the moment the hunter finished speaking, the archer had already aimed at the shadow leopard.

But everything happened too fast. By the time the Shadow Leopard had a chance to attack, it almost caused casualties among the adventurers.

The thief pulled out a dagger from the ground, and a...

A warrior adventurer kicked out, slamming the Shadow Leopard against the fortifications, and then smashed a hammer into the Shadow Leopard's forehead, instantly stopping its struggle and allowing it to enjoy a quiet night.

The thief held a dagger in one hand and pointed it forward, while using his left hand to pull out some styptic powder from his pocket and smear it haphazardly on his chest.

"Gurgling..."

An adventurer from behind threw a small bottle, which the adventurer caught in his mouth and swallowed the potion inside in two gulps.

This isn't a healing potion; these low-level adventurers don't have the money to buy such high-end items as healing potions.

This is a low-quality berserk potion. When ingested, it will quickly induce the lowest level of berserk state, allowing the user to ignore their pain and slightly increase their strength.

This is how ordinary adventurers treat their wounds during battle.

They just need to avoid pain and maintain their fighting strength for a short period of time; as for anything else, that's not something they can even dream of.

"Mr. Bell, let's sing one more song together!"

The fierce battle among the adventurers ahead plunged Edu into anxiety. He lacked the combat strength to fill the gaps in the defensive line like a warrior.

But he desperately wanted to help alleviate the environmental pressures, so he could only turn to Bell on his shoulder.

But faced with Edu's request, Bell, perched on his shoulder, remained as still as a mountain, his fiery ahoge on his forehead burning fiercely.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, let me rush first..."

Bell quickly calculated the battlefield situation in his mind. He knew that if he sang "Mouse" now, controlled the snow leopard to counterattack the monster line, and used the berserk spell to strengthen the adventurers' bodies, he should be able to relieve the pressure on the defensive line.

But this is not the best solution, at least not a solution that can directly deter Warcraft from attacking.

The fire-chewing hyenas behind the monsters had not yet made their move, and there was no sign of the human front collapsing.

Similarly, Bell also sensed a surge of magical energy gathering behind the camp, indicating that there were other contingency plans within the human base.

"Let's wait and conserve our mana. Making a move now won't be of much help to the battle."

Having finalized the strategic plan, Bell directed Edu to turn back into the camp, where he needed Edu to find a few items.

Earlier, when Bale was walking through the camp, he saw things like iron barrels, and he needed Edu to bring these things to the front line.

For a bard to fully unleash his potential, a musical instrument is essential.

Musical instruments can amplify the bard's magic and singing effects, and in this kind of battle, they can successfully expand the area of ​​magic enhancement, making themselves useful.

"If only I had a super cool song that could give all the adventurers in the camp a boost in every attribute, or some other magical effect."

Bell muttered something to himself, but he didn't think about it in that direction.

While he certainly had a lot of music from Earth in his head, Bell had never sung any other songs in this world except for "Mouse," and he couldn't understand the specific effects of the spells.

Moreover, even if Bell understands the effect of the songs in his memory, Edu has never heard Bell sing those songs. If Edu doesn't know the songs, it would be difficult for Bell to show off in front of others.

Unless absolutely necessary, Bear Grylls will not expose his true self to the public.

"I hope my understanding of musical instruments is correct. At the same time, I hope these human adventurers can withstand the attack of the fire-chewing hyenas. After this wave of beasts ends, as long as the human camp is still intact, I will have a lot to do."

Bell squinted at the rising firelight in the bamboo forest, his mind racing with calculations.

To be honest, Bear isn't afraid of the fire hyenas. They're both beasts, and even if the fire hyenas flatten a human camp, it won't really affect Bear.

Anyway, there's a high probability that I won't be chased by the fire-chewing hyenas.

But if the human camp exists, especially if Edu, that little guy who listens to him, is there, Bell will have the ability to walk in the human world.

This is very important to Bell.

No, I need to fix it again; it's deviated from the feeling I envisioned. The original plan was to sing "With boundless pride, who dares to challenge me?", but it doesn't feel right; I need to revise it.

Chapter 46 Percussion Filled with Magic

"Woo——"

Six fireballs, trailing fiery tails, shot out from the bamboo forest.

The adventurers, harassed by the monsters, had little energy left to deal with the several bright, flying fireballs.

After the archer shot two fireballs in mid-air, the remaining four fireballs passed through the gaps in the bamboo and crashed into the adventurer camp, unleashing tremendous power.

The fire-loving hyena's signature attack, a burning magical fireball, easily tore apart the various defensive fortifications set up in front of the camp, like a high-explosive grenade.

The force of the explosion knocked over several adventurers at the front, and the raging flames covered a large portion of the adventurers' formation.

The adventurers who were originally guarding several passes and fighting against the monsters had to retreat to avoid the complete collapse of their defenses.

Several adventurers who were a step too slow were caught off guard by the flames and were instantly pounced on by the monsters.

"Cover! Pull them back!"

The hunters and archers in command positions unleashed their full firepower, and adventurers with ranged abilities also joined the fray, doing everything in their power to suppress the rampaging monsters all around.
