Chapter 122: The Siege Battle Begins!

“There’s no need. We’re cannon fodder to begin with. We’ll just prepare for battle ourselves.”
Mo Xiao looked at the continuously appearing monsters in front of him with a vigilant expression.
At this moment, a burst of flames suddenly shot out from the other side of the city wall, heading straight for the location of the monsters.
“Damn monster! Eat my fireball! Die!”
Before the fireball even reached the monsters, it seemed to crash into a wall and shattered, disappearing.
Just then, Mo Xiao seemed to see an illusory barrier appearing around the base city.
“This is… a barrier?”
Looking at this illusory barrier, Mo Xiao frowned.
Su Jin’er followed Mo Xiao’s gaze and explained, “It’s a kind of barrier, but more accurately, it’s the world’s rules.”
“World rules?” Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin’er with some confusion. “What is that?”
“It’s the power that turned our world into a game world,” Su Jin’er explained. “These monsters launched the so-called siege by relying on the laws of this world.
“After the siege begins, the laws of the world will surround our base city. Only monsters are allowed to enter and no creatures are allowed to leave.
“Only after the siege battle is over, this law-based barrier will disappear, and at that time, we can move in and out normally. Not only that, but at the start of the siege battle, all teleportation abilities within the city will be disabled.
“Neither teleportation arrays nor teleportation scrolls can be used. Even instances will be closed, making it impossible for people to hide inside.”
“Once our defense fails, what awaits us is a massacre by monsters.”
As she spoke, Su Jin’er’s expression gradually darkened. “My parents died in a failed city defense battle. I was saved by my master.”
Listening to this, Mo Xiao fell silent too. “We will be victorious.”
“Naturally,” Su Jin’er quickly regained her composure, lifted her hand, and patted Mo Xiao’s head, which was a head taller than her, with a smile. “Don’t worry, with me here, that kind of situation won’t happen again.”
Feeling Su Jin’er’s touch, Mo Xiao’s calm face turned slightly red.
[Su Jin’er gently patted you, and your heart raced like a deer. The skill ‘Shared Life and Death’ has been copied!]
Shared Life and Death: Lock onto a target and forcefully lower the opponent’s health to the same level as your own. If the opponent’s health is lower than yours, the skill is ineffective. Cost: 5000 MP. Cooldown: 30 minutes.
“What an amazing skill!”
Seeing this skill, Mo Xiao’s pupils contracted. Forcing the opponents health to synchronize with yours?
Advanced bosses, aren’t their health pools higher than one’s own?
And figuring out how to lower your own health to a drop and then hitting the boss directly, won’t the boss be instantly defeated?
Thinking about this, Mo Xiao’s gaze toward Su Jin’er became fervent. He hadn’t expected her to have such a strong skill.
Feeling Mo Xiao’s intense gaze, Su Jin’er slightly hesitated. Her face turned red, and she quickly took two steps back. “Alright, hurry and get your items ready. The battle is about to begin!”
Seeing Su Jin’er’s retreat, Mo Xiao also coughed awkwardly and turned his head back to look at the group of monsters in the distance.
Meanwhile, not far away, Fang Chaoyang watched the intimate interaction between the two not far away. He was grinding his teeth in frustration.
In his mind, a stunning beauty like Su Jin’er should naturally belong to someone like him, a peerless talent!
Why should she be so close to a poor kid like Mo Xiao?
If it weren’t for not being able to beat Mo Xiao, he would definitely rush over and take Su Jin’er away.
Just as he pondered about what to do, a system notification suddenly sounded in everyone’s ears.
[Ding! Get ready! The siege battle is about to begin!]
[Five!]
[Four!]
[Three!]
[Two!]
[One!]
[Siege battle begins!]
With the sound of the system notification, the motionless monsters not far away seemed to awaken, quickly moving toward the direction of the city gate.
Seeing these unfamiliar monsters, Mo Xiao directly used the Illusion Breaking Technique.
[Breaker]
Level: LV20
HP: 5,000/5,000
Strength: 150
Agility: 100
Spirit: 50
Endurance: 300
Physique: 200
City Attack: Use your body to forcefully ram into the city wall or enemies, dealing physical damage and having a chance to stun the target.
Steel Armor: Increases your own defense level for a certain duration, reduces physical damage taken, and has a chance to reflect some damage back to the attacker.
Brute Force Swing: Swing the large hammer in your hand, causing area-of-effect physical damage, splashing damage to surrounding units, and temporarily immobilizing them.
Bloodfury Soul: When health is below 50%, enter a rage state, increase attack speed and power. Also gain a simple healing effect, recovering a certain amount of health per second for 10 seconds.
“City Attack?” Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow when he saw this skill.
This seemed to be a monster specialized in city attacks…
“Even the weakest monsters are Level 20. Is this a Level 3 siege battle?” Mo Xiao looked at the professionals who were excitedly rushing towards the monsters not far away, his eyes filled with pity.
It wasn’t pity for their impending deaths, but rather for their overconfidence and ignorance.
“When should we take action?” Mo Xiao asked Su Jin’er, who was standing still beside him.
Su Jin’er smiled faintly. “No rush. These level 20 small fry can be killed with a single skill. Let them come closer slowly and kill them slowly to delay the appearance of the next wave of monsters.”
“Oh, okay.” Mo Xiao nodded and didn’t say anything else.
Seeing Mo Xiao’s lack of reaction, Su Jin’er curiously asked, “Don’t you think I’m cruel? My decision is equivalent to letting that group of professionals die for no reason.”
“I think it’s fine. They’re excessively self-confident and want to charge in, so it’s not surprising they’d end up like that,” Mo Xiao said calmly.
When Su Jin’er heard this, she laughed and said, “That’s a good idea. I like it. However, as a professional on the human side, 1 naturally won’t watch them die for no reason.”
Hearing this, Mo Xiao looked at Su Jin’er curiously.
In the next moment, Su Jin’er extended the staff in her hand and said, “Skeleton Warrior Summoning!”
With Su Jin’er’s command, a hundred skeletons emerged from the ground, directly rushing toward the Breaker.
“I see.”
Mo Xiao nodded slightly and immediately raised the Four Symbols Heavy Sword. “Skeleton Lord Summoning!”
Instantly, two Skeleton Lords appeared outside the city wall, accompanied by numerous small Skeleton Warriors..
