"Indeed, the monsters here seem to be undergoing some kind of evolution..."
Zhang Xiaoman felt an even stronger sense of urgency upon witnessing the scene before him.
He could sense that the creature within the giant cocoon was probably in the final stage of its metamorphosis.
It could complete its evolution and emerge from the cocoon at any time.
Not far away, those super-large Corpse Demons reacted immediately upon seeing him enter this open space.
Almost as soon as Zhang Xiaoman had grasped the situation inside, the attack from the other side had already reached him.
What the monsters emitted was still that kind of crimson light.
With six arms each, the three closest monsters launched their attacks simultaneously, and in an instant, a dozen or so beams were shooting towards him.
Zhang Xiaoman was well-prepared, raising his hand to cast the Soul Snatching Skill, interrupting one of the monster’s casting.
Despite this, there were still twelve thick red beams striking towards him.
The diameter of each beam was almost fifty centimeters, as large as a small water tank, and quite terrifying to behold.
At the same time, two Holy Knights activated their skills, with two Light Shields materializing out of thin air, blocking most of the Corpse Demons’ attacks.
But the protection of the Light Shields was not all-encompassing, and two Star Guards on the periphery were struck, with the lethal red beams piercing through their bodies.
These two unlucky individuals immediately dispersed, turning into particles of dust that scattered away.
"Damn, what terrifying power!"
Zhang Xiaoman had finally witnessed the process of the Star Guards being killed in an instant. Although he was shocked, his hands did not pause for a moment, responding with a Burst Spirit Skill of his own.
Without comparison, there seems to be no harm; his several centimeters thick Burst Spirit Skill appeared particularly feeble against the red light emitted by those gigantic Corpse Demons.
As the purple light hit them, their bodies were eroded with only shallow wounds, without any possibility of being fatal.
"Such high resistance to Dark Energy!"
Zhang Xiaoman was taken aback. This was the second time today that the Burst Spirit Skill had been ineffective. The previously unfailing Divine Skill against minor monsters was now starting to show signs of strain.
After speaking, he quickly dodged backward as the second wave of the monster’s attack arrived.
The Light Shields emitted by the Holy Knights had already been shattered during the previous attack, and this time, facing the monsters’ lethal assault, several Star Guards who didn’t dodge in time were hit directly and turned into sparkling lights.
"Damn it, how are we supposed to fight this? Do these guys have no energy consumption when using their skills?"
Zhang Xiaoman stood on the path he had come from, where the monsters didn’t pursue him; their mission seemed to be guarding the giant cocoon, not straying a step away.
The monster was more troublesome than anticipated; pure Dark Energy attacks didn’t seem to cause much damage.
He would have to consider other methods.
Reaching for the pitch-black pistol at his waist, Zhang Xiaoman’s gaze grew heavy.
Considering them as Demon Series monsters of such level, their Undying characteristics must be incredibly strong, making them significantly more difficult to deal with than Biological Species.
"Looks like I can’t save on points this time..."
He said with a look of resignation, then replaced the bullets with Holy Water Bomb Type 2, which had greater pressure and splash area, suitable for dealing with large monsters.
Zhang Xiaoman took a deep breath, ready to implement the new plan he had just devised.
If you like to huddle together, then I’ll find a way to separate you and then finish you off one by one.
As for how to draw them out, that would depend on the giant cocoon.
Having made up his mind, he first replenished the lost Star Guards, then under the cover of his subordinates, he advanced to the large open space once again.
This time, without any hesitation, he appeared and immediately threw a Burst Spirit Skill towards the cocoon, then dived back into the rock wall before seeing the result.
Although the red beams from the monsters were fierce, they couldn’t penetrate a wall of such thickness.
Observing through the Spirit Detection Technique, Zhang Xiaoman found that the cocoon’s magic resistance was high, and his attack wasn’t very effective.
However, the Burst Spirit Skill still caused some impact on it, with a bit of disturbance in the Dark Energy Fluctuation where it was hit.
Next, he repeated the action, dashing out and throwing another Burst Spirit Skill at the cocoon.
Feeling the successive loud explosions behind him on the rock wall, Zhang Xiaoman knew that his plan must be working.
These Corpse Demons had clearly started to become agitated.
"If you care so much about that thing, I don’t believe this harassment won’t make you leave your post."
He muttered to himself, then continued the previous tactic, constantly provoking the nerves of the Corpse Demons.
Finally, on his fifth sneak attack, the monsters couldn’t bear it any longer.
One of them let out an angry roar and strode towards his position.
Zhang Xiaoman saw the monster’s movements, quickly sped up his pace to run, attempting to draw it even further away.
Despite the Corpse Demon’s great size, with a height of fifteen meters akin to a five-story building, each of its strides covered a considerable distance.
