"Let's go, quickly, check it out!"
With Cao Xing's command, the team rushed over in a flurry.
Outside the gate, Cao Xing saw that the [Holy Sword Temple] was already in chaos.
A large number of Soul-Devouring Monsters were frantically attacking those coffins.
They forcibly dragged the undead out and then started a buffet.
The mournful cries of the undead kept echoing.
"Ah!! It's the damn Soul-Devouring Monsters!"
"Oh god, how did these evil creatures get in here? Where's the captain?"
"Don't bite my body! It hurts! It hurts so much!"
Hearing the pained cries of the undead, anger appeared in Renice's eyes.
Her hand gripping the bowstring trembled slightly, seemingly unable to contain her urge to attack the Soul-Devouring Monsters.
However, without Cao Xing's command, she dared not act recklessly.
Cao Xing rapidly assessed the situation on the field.
The Soul-Devouring Monsters' attention was entirely drawn to the coffins, as the undead were a rare delicacy for them.
So they did not notice Cao Xing and the others at the doorway.
After observing for a while, Cao Xing breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, only a small portion of the coffins were opened; most of them remain intact."
"It seems Ascalon's seal is quite effective!"
"If I can rescue the remaining undead, I should have completed the task."
With this thought in mind, Cao Xing quickly assessed the strength of the Soul-Devouring Monsters.
Similar to those in the Shield Temple, there were many third-tier ordinary monsters, a few third-tier elites, and one boss.
Only, there was one extra Elite Monster.
Cao Xing did not recklessly charge forward, planning to stick with the previous strategy.
"Renice, Hilda, attack the Soul-Devouring Monsters and lure them into the passage."
"Sarah, watch for the right moment to distract those elites and the boss."
Upon receiving the order, Renice immediately fired an arrow.
The arrow hit the back of one of the Soul-Devouring Monsters.
However, that Soul-Devouring Monster was busy devouring the body of an Ascalon Undead with its partner,
After being attacked, the Soul-Devouring Monster glanced at Renice.
To Cao Xing's surprise, the Soul-Devouring Monster ignored Renice's attack and buried its head back into its feast.
Witnessing this scene left Renice fuming, her chest heaving with anger.
"Damn Soul-Devouring Monster!"
Renice drew her bowstring again, shooting multiple arrows.
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"
Hilda hatched a swarm of Blood Spiders, charging forward to self-destruct.
The Soul-Devouring Monsters were tainted with Blood Poison, experiencing a terrifying burning sensation as if permeating their bones.
Part of the Soul-Devouring Monsters' resentment was finally drawn towards them.
A large number of Soul-Devouring Monsters charged towards them.
Cao Xing hurriedly ordered, "Retreat, retreat into the passage!"
The team quickly retreated.
Then, Blom and Assam firmly blocked the passage entrance.
However, to Cao Xing's surprise, only part of the Soul-Devouring Monsters charged at them, about twenty or so.
The elites and the boss did not come; they were busy with their meal!
This significantly reduced the pressure on Assam and Blom.
Even Sarah could follow from the shadows and attack.
At the same time, Andrew switched to his bear form, blocking the Soul-Devouring Monsters' assault while attacking.
For everyone, this battle did not bring much pressure.
In less than two minutes, some Soul-Devouring Monsters began to fall.
[Your territory member Assam killed Soul-Devouring Monster Lv26, gaining Experience Value: 520]
[Combat personnel gained Experience Value: 260]
[Your territory member Blom killed Soul-Devouring Monster Lv25, gaining Experience Value: 500]
[Combat personnel gained Experience Value: 250]
The kill information started filling the screen.
Six minutes later, the battle there ended.
All twenty-odd Soul-Devouring Monsters were killed.
Despite the intense battle, they still did not attract the attention of other Soul-Devouring Monsters.
Cao Xing laughed, "These Soul-Devouring Monsters really focus on their meals!"
Of course, he could not delay too long, or the task would fail once the undead were all eaten.
He quickly ordered, "Renice, Hilda, go lure another group over."
The two women obeyed, swiftly exiting the passage and attacking the Soul-Devouring Monsters in the temple.
Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows shot out one after another.
They attracted over twenty more Soul-Devouring Monsters.
This time, two Elite Soul Eaters accompanied them, charging at the group with great momentum.
However, with Sarah's intervention, the two Elite Soul Eaters were quickly led astray.
Blom and Assam, like two guardian deities, blocked all the Soul-Devouring Monsters outside.
With Andrew and Liu Muxue switching in, they felt no pressure.
Cao Xing joyfully said, "This battle is really easy!"
After another seven minutes, this battle also ended.
Meanwhile, Sarah had already taken out two Elite Soul Eaters alone.
The experience points from the twenty or so Soul-Devouring Monsters and two Elite Soul Eaters leveled Assam up to 14.
Now, there were the final twenty-plus Soul-Devouring Monsters, one boss, and one elite left in the temple.
Cao Xing still did not charge forward but continued using the Carmen strategy.
The Soul-Devouring Monsters inside seemed to realize their companions were rapidly decreasing in number.
A yellow-skinned Soul-Devouring Monster boss opened its mouth with a cry, awakening all the Soul-Devouring Monsters.
