Chapter 65: Ten Bosses, Troublesome Humanoid Monsters!

The moment Wang Yazhi laid eyes on those three monsters, she shared the information into the chat room. This was a standard practice for almost every player nowadays, considered a kind of unwritten consensus.

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

Originally, all players felt that this stage was somewhat simple, with an intensity even lower than the second round. Yet, Xu Lang's side had suddenly dropped a major piece of explosive news.

[5 Zhu Yan: Holy crap, a tier-four monster? Even top-tier players from the third batch would have a hard time killing this? !]

[44 Wang Ao: Is this the final boss? Such a totally different aura!]

[49 Li Shuwen: Everyone be careful. My guess is there are probably ten tier-four monsters in this round. Deal as much damage as you can, otherwise, we risk having our entire floor wiped!]

……

"All of you pay attention. Once the tier-four monsters come out, it's best to unleash a full burst of damage immediately!" In Dormitory 49, Li Shuwen's expression darkened as he looked at the information shared by Wang Yazhi, and he said to his teammates.

With third-batch players around, it was normal for the boss to be a tier-four monster, but what wasn't normal was that there might be as many as ten tier-four monsters in this match!

This final round would probably wipe out another half of the players.

Of course, he didn't mention this in the chat room to avoid causing panic.

To be honest, he was barely keeping himself afloat right now either.

Dormitory 49 had four turrets, but only one tier-three turret and two tier-two turrets could actually pose a threat to a tier-four monster.

If it were the brainless type of monster, he could rely on his fully-durable tier-three door to solo it, but the problem was that humanoid monsters generally possessed very high intelligence and wouldn't just stupidly smash against the door until they died.

"Understood."

Li Shuwen's teammates were all veteran players as well, and they all nodded in agreement.

……

"Tier-four humanoid monsters..." In Dormitory 2, Lei Ting clenched his fists, feeling the pressure in his heart.

"Let's hope the boss on our floor comes from the other side," a tenant said with a solemn expression.

"I guess we don't need to worry about Xu Lang's life or death anymore," another tenant sneered. "Still, this Xu Lang is really something else, clearing out the lesser monsters and drawing out the boss so quickly."

Hearing this, Lei Ting pulled up the score leaderboard to take a look, his expression shifting uncertainly. He always felt that Xu Lang wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

For a first-batch player to grow strong to this extent was truly incredible.

……

"Damn, Brother Lang is in deep trouble now!" Inside a certain teaching building, Zhang大海 muttered under his breath while frantically searching through supplies.

At a time like this, it was very strange that Zhang大海 wasn't in his room and hadn't been targeted by the monsters.

Everyone had their secrets, however, and no one could say for sure just how many hidden mechanics the Dormitory Survival game truly possessed.

……

"Hiss~ A tier-four monster. I've never killed one in my life." In Dormitory 159, Zheng Kai drew in a sharp breath.

"Zheng Kai, what we have to face this time might not just be a single tier-four monster..." Another male tenant smiled bitterly.

Zheng Kai was stunned. Realizing that the ninth floor was empty, a chill crept into his heart.

The male tenant continued, "I suggest turning off the automatic attack mode. Don't be like Xu Lang, killing monsters so fast that he dragged the bosses from both the ninth and eighth floors over."

A single sentence jolted him awake.

Zheng Kai hurriedly gave the order to disable the automatic attack mode of the turrets while privately messaging the others to avoid speed-killing the monsters, lest they draw out the boss.

Seeing Zheng Kai act so decisively, the male tenant felt a great sense of relief.

Only by following such a leader was there any hope of survival.

As the saying goes, better a dead comrade than a dead oneself.

The Dormitory Survival game was just like this; the only people you could truly trust were those in your own dormitory—and sometimes, even the people in your own dormitory couldn't be trusted!

……

"We're completely screwed, it's a tier-four monster! How on earth are we supposed to survive these twelve hours? I heard that the comprehensive attributes of tier-four monsters are all above 40 points!" In Dormitory 32, Ye Fan wailed.

His level-zero dormitory had barely managed to grind out a tier-two door. Absolutely no one wanted to join him, so he had been scraping by on his own all this time.

There were still plenty of scavengers like Ye Fan, and at this moment, their hearts had gone cold.

……

"Xu Lang, it's a tier-four monster!" Tong Qi looked somewhat nervous.

After all, they hadn't even laid eyes on a tier-three monster before.

"It doesn't matter. With our setup, holding out for a while won't be a problem," Xu Lang said calmly, beginning to lay out his plan. "First, take down those two tier-three Bronze-Armored Corpses, and then execute the plan to kill that tier-four monster."

Cao Yaxuan asked with concern, "What if his weak point doesn't work?"

"That's fine too. The stats of this single-use Cyan Steel Door are probably not much worse than a tier-four door," Xu Lang shrugged, saying indifferently.

"That's true." Cao Yaxuan felt much more at ease.

Outside the door, the Corpse Overlord had already begun commanding the two Bronze-Armored Corpses to break through.

Clang~

Two silver arrows flashed like lightning, sending up tiny puffs of blue smoke upon striking the Bronze-Armored Corpses, but they were bounced right back by the thick armor without achieving any piercing effect.

Whoosh!

A thick, heavy bolt shot out with formidable momentum, forcefully knocking one of the Bronze-Armored Corpses backward, leaving a visible indentation on its chest armor.

Against conventional monsters, the Silver Winged Crossbow was more useful, but when dealing with heavily armored monsters like these, the Army-Breaking Heavy Crossbow held the advantage!

Seeing this, Xu Lang secretly considered himself lucky that he had chosen the Army-Breaking Heavy Crossbow beforehand.

A tier-three monster like this couldn't be killed with just one or two arrows, but to say they were monstrously powerful and could hold out for a very long time would also be overestimating them.

Dozens of seconds later, the two Bronze-Armored Corpses collapsed in front of the door, having worn down a total of 12 durability points from the Cyan Steel Door.

If they kept fighting a little longer, the Cyan Steel Door's first "Never Compromise" effect would be triggered and used up.

The Corpse Overlord stared at Door 200 with an ugly expression, hesitating uncertainly.

Yet just as he hesitated, a heavy crossbow bolt fired with a loud boom, slamming straight into him and making his chest go numb.

This shot was manually targeted, completely ignoring the automatic attack range of defensive facilities; it fired as far as it could reach!

"ROAR!!!" Driven to absolute rage, the Corpse Overlord pulled a bell from his waist with his blue-purple corpse claws and shook it frantically.

Six tier-two zombies materialized out of thin air, leaping and bounding toward Dormitory 200, only to be picked off before they could even get close.

The Corpse Overlord's expression darkened further, and he hurriedly shook the bell again to summon another six zombies, charging forward himself right behind them.

Boom! Crash!

The Corpse Overlord slammed a claw directly onto the Cyan Steel Door, producing a deafening crash.

[Durability -3]

The durability of the Cyan Steel Door instantly dropped below 40 points, and then a cyan glow flickered. The monster's blood lingering on the surface was completely absorbed, and the durability bounced back up to 70 points!

The Corpse Overlord grew even more furious, commanding the zombies to attack the turrets while he continued to assault the Cyan Steel Door, hammering away viciously even as his fingers suffered burns from the heat!

Although the Corpse Overlord couldn't shave off three durability points with every single strike, the durability of the Cyan Steel Door was nonetheless dropping rapidly.
