Darkness surges.

  A huge figure silently climbed over the stone wall, as if swimming forward like a fish. Suddenly, it stopped abruptly, hanging upside down from the ceiling like a spider.

  Not far below, three fully armed warriors were cautiously advancing forward, holding high their torches and vigilantly staring into the surrounding darkness, ready to respond at any moment to possible traps and all sorts of monsters.

  We have to think of a way to separate them...

  Looking at the search party in front of him, Zhan En furrowed his brow. If possible, he also hoped to trigger traps to separate these people and deal with one person at a time, which was better than dealing with three people. Unfortunately, triggering traps required consuming magic, and Zhan Ens current second-level underground castle only had four basic traps. Therefore, except for the two sets of traps set up at the entrance, most of the other traps were set up in the core area of the underground castle, and there were no extra traps set up here.

  However, Zhan En had already made psychological preparations for this and actually had a plan.

  The search party dispatched by Eris was no different in composition from before, with Tiflin, the thief and spy, leading the way at the front, while the snake people and vampires were arrayed on either side to keep watch. However, unfortunately for them, they had not even dreamed that death had already quietly descended upon their heads.

  Its now!

  Just as the three of them walked by from below, Zhan En manipulated the alien to slowly and quietly extend its sharp and slender tail, aiming at the back of the snake man who was walking last, and then suddenly stabbed forward!

  The aliens tail spike is extremely stealthy, with a small amplitude, so it makes almost no sound. However, its power cannot be underestimated, and even if someone is wearing full steel armor, they are no different from thin paper in front of the aliens tail spike. From this, we can see that if the snake man is pierced by the aliens tail spike, he will have only one dead end!

  But the fact was beyond Zhans expectation. Just as the aliens tail spike was about to pierce the snake mans body, a cold light flashed by. The vampire who had been standing silently beside the snake man suddenly drew his sword, and in the next instant, the long sword shining with magical light blocked the aliens attack just in time.

  Good grief, elite vampires are such a pain!

  Seeing the sneak attack fail, Zhan En was stunned for a moment, then he hastily ordered the alien to retreat. However, the aliens movements were quick, and the opponents speed was not slow either. Just as the half-vampire blocked the sneak attack, the snake man had already turned around, roaring loudly as he raised his four arms holding a long sword high, and then forcefully chopped down.

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh——!!"

  With the intersecting sword lights, the alien shape that dodged and weaved was suddenly chopped in two, and its tail that had been quickly withdrawn was also cut off. Blood splattered out, flying in all directions. And seeing this scene, Zhan Ens eyes lit up!

  Attack!

  As the command was issued, the deformed creature that had been chopped also advanced instead of retreating. It let out a shrill cry and raised its tail, swinging it forcefully towards the prey in front of it. As the creature moved, fresh green blood spurted from the wound on its tail, enveloping the three people in front of it like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

  "Get out of the way!!"

  Seeing the green blood splashing everywhere, the three of them also knew that things were not looking good. They werent newcomers to this dark realm either, and they knew that the monsters here were far more terrifying than any beasts on the surface. Unfortunately, the grotesque creature was too close to them, and the amount of blood it splattered was too much, so even though the three of them dodged frantically, they still got splattered with its blood all over their heads and faces.

  "Ahhh!!!!"

  The snake man at the forefront suddenly let out a mournful cry, and the aliens blood with strong corrosive properties corroded his flesh in the blink of an eye. Even if he was wearing armor made of refined gold and steel, it couldnt protect his body. Along with the mournful cry, the snake man warrior who had been so brave and powerful just fell to the ground, convulsing his body before finally losing all movement. Only his corroded flesh remained, telling the story of his painful life.

  "You damned monster!!"

  Seeing his companion die, Tavlins eyes widened in anger, staring fixedly at the alien crawling on the ceiling. He raised his hands, and soon several flying knives appeared between his fingers, but that was all he could do. Because at the same time, a sharp tail spike silently pierced through the darkness, penetrating Tavlins body.

  "Pffft!"

  Blood splattered everywhere, Tavlin stared blankly at the sharp blade protruding from his chest, as if he hadnt fully reacted to what had just happened. When he turned his head, he saw that another creature had appeared on top of his head at some point, noticing Tavlins gaze. The black Reaper opened its mouth and let out a victorious low growl.

  "Youre so weird..."

  Tavlins words were not finished, the next moment, the aliens soft and sharp tail wrapped around his neck, accompanied by a "hiss" sound, Tavlins head fell to the ground, taking with it the unfinished words into eternal silence.

  Seeing his companions being killed one after another, even a half-vampire couldnt help but secretly feel terrified. However, his current situation wasnt much better. Although the snake people warriors in front of him had managed to hold off the aliens corrosive blood, allowing the half-vampire to narrowly avoid being corroded into a mangled mess, his left hand was still splattered with the aliens blood. Even the half-vampire himself hadnt expected the aliens blood to be so corrosively powerful - in just a few short seconds, his right arm had been reduced to tatters, with even the bones and flesh being completely destroyed!

  What kind of monster is this!

  The half-vampire made a decision immediately, he was very clear that staying here would be useless now, the most important thing was to leave and report the situation of these monsters to Eris. It was obvious that this was a trap! Thinking of this, the half-vampire didnt hesitate anymore, taking advantage of the brief moment when both creatures were still reacting, he hastily flashed his body, leaving behind a string of afterimages as he quickly ran back in the direction he came from. The half-vampire was still confident in his speed, as long as he could leave this place, these two monsters would absolutely not be able to catch up with him!

  Ideals are beautiful, reality is cruel.

  Just as the half-vampire turned to try and escape, he didnt notice a female ghost quietly floating out from the wall behind him. Her pitch-black, empty eyes stared fixedly at the half-vampire in front of her, then the ghost opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

  "Ah!!!!!!!!!!"

  A shrill, icy wail filled the entire tunnel, the voice full of death energy seeming to seep into ones bones like a cold draft, then transformed into a howling gust of wind that swept away everything.

  Even a half-vampire couldnt bear the sound of the wail, and if he were a pure-blooded vampire, the banshees cry would have had no effect on him. The problem was that he was only a half-vampire, still a living being. So the banshees death claw mercilessly grasped the flame of life burning within his body. Feeling the invasion of negative energy, the half-vampires vision went black before he could even react. Before he could recover, accompanied by the howling wind, the dark creature pounced down and pinned him to the ground.

  However, the half-vampires reaction was not slow either. Although the negative energy brought a chill that made his body much weaker, he still burst out with unprecedented power when faced with a life-or-death situation. Just as the monster pounced on its preys body, the half-vampire let out a loud roar and kicked the monsters body with all his might, sending this massive creature flying away.

  Its now!!

  Feeling the heavy oppressive feeling leaving himself, the half-vampire also skipped a beat in his heart. If he was given just two more seconds, he would be able to get up and dodge these terrifying monsters!

  Just at this moment, the half-vampire was shocked to see that the monster he had kicked away was roaring and opening its mouth towards him. The next moment, a black shadow flashed before his eyes.

  That is...

  "Hmph!"

  Accompanied by a faint sound, the inner fang that sprang out of the aliens mouth easily pierced through the half-vampires skull, causing a violent impact that brought up the skull and thick brain matter. Fresh blood splattered on the stone wall, leaving behind only a nauseating bloodstain. The kicked-off alien rotated in mid-air before steadily sticking to the stone wall. Meanwhile, the half-vampires corpse crashed to the ground, clearly dead beyond revival judging from its mangled head.

  "Finally... its all settled."

  It wasnt until then that Zhan Yan let out a breath of relief. He had to admit, these elites were somewhat capable after all. If Zhan Yan had charged forward with the three alien beasts and clashed head-on with them, the outcome would have been nothing but death. Fortunately, the opponent was unfamiliar with the alien beasts strange abilities, which gave Zhan Yan an opportunity to seize it; otherwise, who knows who would be in a precarious situation by now.

  Thinking of this, Zhan En regained his spirit and looked at the system panel in front of him again.

  Killed 3 invaders, gained 380 experience points.

  Dungeon development progress: 500/2400

  Killing three invaders has increased the development progress by nearly a fifth, it can be seen that after all, it is still necessary to take action at home in order to get enough benefits.

  Seeing this, Zhan En nodded and then made another gesture.

  Soon, with Zhan Ens movement, the aliens quickly retreated into the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

  For them, this is just the beginning.
