"What... what is it?"
"This..."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Xiao Lu, He Shang, Alak, and others all showed hesitation, then turned to look at Yuan Ling.
Yuan Ling was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Sister Xiao Lu, come over here, I'll protect you. You don't need to be afraid of these monsters!"
This wasn't the first time Xiao Xiao had dealt with gargoyles. She held her wood-attribute arcane energy rifle and spoke to the nervous Xiao Lu.
"Heh heh heh!~..."
While Xiao Xiao and the others were talking, the stones in Ye Feng's area twisted and deformed, forming numerous terrifying human faces – gargoyles.
A large number of gargoyles let out eerie and terrifying laughter, and countless stone spikes, stone knives, stone axes, and maces rained down on Ye Feng and his group.
"Whoosh! Clang!~"
"Screech!~"
The arcane energy on Ye Feng's Tang blade flickered. He charged directly into the dense stone spikes, breaking them. With a swift stroke, a gargoyle was instantly killed.
"Bang!~"
Ye Feng didn't stop. He backhanded a mace that was swinging towards the back of his head, shattering it. The Tang blade flashed again, and another gargoyle met its demise.
"Clang~ clang!"
"Heh heh heh!~"
"Whoosh~ Bang~ ! Heh heh~ Crack~"
"Whoosh!~ Clang!........"
As Ye Feng's figure moved, the blade of his Tang knife swept across those grotesque and terrifying human faces, killing gargoyle after gargoyle.
Before long, the spine-chilling "heh heh" cackles gradually diminished.
"So... so powerful!"
"They can kill gargoyles without wood-attribute arcane energy!"
Xiao Lu looked at Ye Feng in the distance, amidst the flying dust and gravel, with astonishment.
"Such absurd physical quality, like iron!"
"That blade is also incredibly sharp, and it seems to possess a faint pressure!"
Alak and He Shang, who had just deflected several attacks from gargoyles, were also somewhat taken aback by the scene.
"Quack quack!~"
At this moment, the goblin above the hillside where they were located cackled again, seemingly exasperated.
After a few cackles, it bit its tongue, spat a mouthful of blood onto the skull staff in its hand, and then pointed the staff at Ye Feng. A patch of earthy yellow light shot towards Ye Feng.
"Bang~ Crackle crackle!~"
In the blink of an eye, a vast expanse of dense stone spikes and javelins appeared above Ye Feng and his group. The stone spikes and javelins flashed with earthy yellow light, rapidly descending towards Ye Feng and his companions below.
"Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh!~"
"Bang bang bang!~"
"Zing zing zing!"
.......
A large number of stone spikes and javelins, carrying earth-attribute arcane energy, rained down like a storm on the area where Ye Feng and his group were. Ye Feng's location was the most concentrated.
"Crack crack~ Crack~"
The densely packed stone spikes and javelins suddenly shattered, and Ye Feng jumped out from within.
"Heh heh heh!~"
The terrifying calls of the gargoyles reached Ye Feng's ears from all directions. Immediately, the ground where Ye Feng stood began to undulate, and large amounts of gravel floated into the air around him.
The gravel suspended in the air continuously fused, with gargoyles writhing upon them – the very gargoyles that had been stealthily attacking Ye Feng on the ground.
The floating gravel and the activated stones on the ground interlinked and cooperated, eventually forming a spherical stone mouth covered with numerous grotesque human faces.
"Heh heh heh........."
The gargoyles let out a series of dense, terrifying cries and rapidly lunged towards Ye Feng to swallow him!
Ye Feng didn't dodge. He stood his ground, allowing the spherical stone mouth, covered in gargoyles, to swallow him whole.
Almost simultaneously, the stone spikes planted in the ground flashed with earthy yellow light, instantly disintegrating into a multitude of needle-like shards that fiercely pierced towards Ye Feng.
"Li li li li!~"
The dense stone needles, moving at extreme speed, emitted a piercing whistle as they rubbed against the air.
"Hoo~ Crack!~"
At this moment, the spherical stone mouth, manipulated by the gargoyles and activated by the living stones, also swallowed Ye Feng in one gulp.
In the distance,
The one-eyed goblin shaman cackled "Quack quack~" again, pointing its skull staff at the spherical stone mouth that enveloped Ye Feng.
Instantly, a large amount of earthy yellow arcane energy surged throughout the spherical stone mouth...
...
Inside the spherical stone mouth,
"Damn... that one-eyed goblin shaman and these gargoyles cooperate well~"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.
Because the one-eyed goblin shaman was using earth-attribute arcane energy to control dense stone needles attacking him, he twisted his body to dodge. When the needles hit the stone ball's wall, they didn't shatter but bounced back, carrying more earth-attribute arcane energy and moving even faster...
And the gargoyles would seize the opportunity to hide amongst the dense stone needles and attack Ye Feng from various tricky angles...
"Heh heh heh......."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!~"
At this moment, the gargoyles cackled and flew rapidly towards Ye Feng, mixed within the swarm of stone needles.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. Arcane energy surged from his body, and he thrust his Tang blade forward with a powerful slash.
"Whoosh!"
"Screech!"
The spherical stone mouth that had enveloped Ye Feng was instantly split in two.
"Xiao Xiao, don't let the gargoyles return to the ground!"
The moment the spherical stone mouth was cut open by Ye Feng, he shouted to Xiao Xiao.
Before Ye Feng's words had even finished, he was already gripping his Tang blade, running and leaping rapidly within the spherical stone mouth. Arcane energy flickered continuously as he killed gargoyle after gargoyle.
Because the spherical mouth had been in mid-air, these gargoyles, to attack Ye Feng, had all moved inside. Now, confined within the relatively small sphere, they were being killed by Ye Feng one by one, then two by two, then three by three...
This was also the reason Ye Feng hadn't dodged earlier and had let the numerous gargoyles swarm onto the spherical stone mouth and swallow him!
He wanted to deal with this wave of gargoyles as quickly as possible!
A few gargoyles attempted to escape into the ground through the falling debris but were all killed by the wood-attribute arcane energy from Xiao Xiao's weapon...
"Whoosh~! Clang!~"
"Clang!~"
"Bang bang!~ Rumble!~"
.......
After a series of loud noises, the scene returned to tranquility. The terrifying "heh heh heh" sounds had completely disappeared.
"Hoo!~"
Ye Feng exhaled gently and slowly emerged from the rolling dust.
He was very happy at this moment, as he had just killed over a hundred gargoyles and obtained many spatial rift fragments...
"Big brother, are you alright?"
Xiao Xiao walked over, patted the dust and gravel off Ye Feng's body, and asked with concern.
"I'm fine!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly and turned to look at the location of the one-eyed goblin shaman. The shaman had already been killed by Xiao Lu's wind-attribute arcane energy arrow from a distance.
"Lost 50 usable points~"
Ye Feng muttered softly, feeling a pang of regret, but he didn't dwell on it, as there were plenty of goblins here.
"Quack quack~"
"Hoo hoo~"
"Awoo~ Awoo!~"
.........
At this moment, a mixed sound of goblins and jackals echoed from afar.
"The commotion must have attracted the nearby goblins!"
Alak stepped forward, clearly preparing to face the approaching goblin horde.
"Let me handle it, you guys go first! I'll catch up soon!"
Ye Feng stepped forward and patted Alak's armor.
