"There's no other way..."
The elite guard looked at the crumbling roof, a resolute glint in his eyes.
It turned and whispered to its trembling tribesmen.
"Listen to my command, scatter and run towards the house on the left. Every one of us who survives is a chance."
Although the pig-headed men were terrified, they knew this was their only way to survive, and they all nodded and gripped their crude weapons tightly.
Outside, Chen Xu had already cut the load-bearing pillar in front of him down to just the last bit of its connection.
Through the hole in the wall, his gaze met that of the elite guard.
"Is this the elite monster who tortured Young Master Chen to the point of near death...?"
Chen Xu narrowed his eyes, keenly sensing the desperate frenzy in their eyes, and their slightly shifted center of gravity to the left.
"Want to run?"
Chen Xu's mind raced. He immediately put away his axe and ran to the side where "Life is Like the First Meeting" was located, which was the only way for the pig-headed men to break through.
"Stop digging, it's our first time here."
He quietly stopped his teammates who were still swinging their pickaxes.
"Just squat here, they're about to come out."
After speaking, Chen Xu raised the iron shield enchanted with [Frostbite] with his left hand, and took the gleaming hook claw from his waist with his right hand, gently shaking it in his hand.
Inside the building, the elite guards saw this scene through the cracks and cursed inwardly.
"Damn it! How can this human be so cunning? He actually predicted our route."
Just then, Xi Xi on the other side swung her axe and chopped down the last pillar.
"Boom!"
The house, having lost its support, could no longer hold on and began to tilt and collapse to one side with a huge roar.
"run!"
The elite guards let out a desperate roar.
Chapter 58 Captured
Amidst the rising dust, several dark figures emerged from the ruins and scattered in all directions.
Chen Xu, who had been poised to strike, had eyes as sharp as a hawk's. In the chaos, he did not choose the most troublesome elite monster, but instead locked onto an ordinary pig-headed man following closely behind it.
"Come here."
He suddenly swung his right hand.
"Whoosh!"
The grappling hook, enchanted with [Grasp] and [Steady], shot out like a venomous snake, instantly cutting through the dust and precisely seizing the pig-headed man's lower back.
"What the hell is that?"
The pig-headed man felt a tightening around his waist, and before he could react to what was happening, an irresistible and enormous pulling force came from him.
Chen Xu suddenly yanked the chain.
The pig-headed man, weighing several hundred pounds, was lifted off the ground and pulled back into the air like a rag doll.
The elite guards running ahead heard the exclamations behind them, turned around, and were immediately dumbfounded.
What kind of weird weapon is this? It can even catch pigs from a distance?
But at that moment, the roof beams were falling, and it couldn't care less about saving people; it could only grit its teeth and shout.
"Never mind that, run!"
After saying that, it led the remaining defeated troops and charged towards the next bunker without looking back.
The unlucky creature that had been captured had already flown to Chen Xu's side.
"First impressions, do it, help me free the hook."
Chen Xu shouted, but instead of using his sword, he raised his frost shield in his left hand and slammed it down on the flying pig-headed man.
"boom!"
Shield Bash!
[Frostbite] Triggered.
The pig-headed man, still in mid-air, instantly turned into an ice sculpture and crashed heavily to the ground.
Life, which had been waiting on the sidelines, was as fresh as when they first met, without the slightest hesitation.
"die".
He raised the enchanted greatsword high with both hands and used the strength of his waist and abdomen to bring it down with all his might.
"Snap, plop!"
The greatsword, carrying a powerful gust of wind, not only shattered the ice block instantly but also cleaved the pig-headed man inside in two.
Sold out instantly!
"Perfect coordination".
Chen Xu retracted his grappling hook, which was covered in ice shards, and looked at the pig-headed man's retreating figure in the distance, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
"The first one".
As the house collapsed with a roar, several dark figures darted out from the billowing dust.
The elite patrol guard reacted the fastest, leading its remaining five men out of the ruins.
Seeing that the person who had just killed its companion was right beside it, in a stiff state where the old power had not yet been generated, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes.
"Die."
The heavy, finely crafted iron longsword in his hand, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed straight at Chu Jian's neck.
"careful".
Chen Xu reacted swiftly, and at the critical moment, he slid to the side and blocked Chu Jian's path, raising the heavy square shield in his left hand.
"clang!!!"
A deafening clang of metal rang out.
The longsword slammed into the shield, the immense force causing Chen Xu's arm to sink slightly, and the shield's durability visibly decreased significantly.
But then, a sudden change occurred.
The shield's surface glowed brightly with blue light, instantly triggering the [Frostbite] effect.
The extreme cold spread wildly along the blade, covering the entire blade in the blink of an eye, and then crawled up the guard's arm.
"what?"
The elite guard felt a chilling sensation in his hand, the numbness almost causing him to drop his grip on the hilt of his sword.
Seeing the rapidly spreading frost, it was terrified and immediately released the hilt of the knife, taking several steps back.
"Click".
The moment it let go, the long sword, along with the air that had just gripped it, froze into a lump of ice.
"That was close..."
The guard looked at his still slightly trembling hands, feeling lingering fear.
"If I had been half a second slower, I would have been an ice sculpture too. What kind of weird shield is this?"
Before it could recover from its shock, the howl of death came from above once again.
"Huh! Huh!"
Two arrows, one of ice and one of fire, pierced the sky and fell.
Watching the flaming arrow dart left and right in the air, its trajectory unpredictable, the guard gritted his teeth.
"Never mind, it's all fake, dodge the ice arrows."
It instinctively rolled to the side, barely avoiding the physical frost arrow. As for the phantom rocket, it simply closed its eyes and stopped trying to judge it, relying entirely on luck to run around randomly.
The gamble paid off; the rocket grazed its scalp but missed.
"Want to run?"
Just then, a figure blocked its path.
Xi Xi held a long sword burning with flames in her hand, took out a bowl of steaming "mysterious chicken soup" from her backpack, and gulped it down in one go.
"Gurgle."
"This chicken tastes really good."
As the soup entered my stomach, a warm current instantly flowed through my body, and two buff icons immediately popped up on the right side of my vision: [Strength II] and [Health Recovery II].
Feeling the explosive power within him, Xi Xi roared and swung his sword.
"To die".
Faced with this powerful and heavy blow, the elite guard, who had lost its weapon, did not panic. It lightly stepped forward and its figure floated backward like a ghost, easily dodging the attack.
Xi Xi, having gained the upper hand, was relentless, wielding his flaming longsword with impenetrable speed, each strike faster than the last.
However, every attack, even those that seemed certain to hit, was dodged by the opponent with an extremely slight sidestep.
After several rounds, Xi Xi hadn't even touched the hem of her opponent's clothes.
"Too slow."
The elite guards dodged while still managing to taunt them.
"The leader is right. You humans have divine weapons, but you don't know how to use them at all. You are simply wasting them."
"Holy crap?"
Xi Xi's eyes widened immediately.
