Volume 11: The Submarine Evil God Temple Chapter 2: Bloody Battle Against the Evil Samurai

All right, then let us fight our way through. Looking at the murderous intent flashing in the eyes of the other two, Li Bin said with a helpless sigh, However, if we encounter enemies that are too powerful, I would still prefer to use a safer method to get inside.

Hearing Li Bin's words, Shuiyueshenlian was equally helpless: You think I don't want to? But the only safe method I know of can only take us to the main entrance, as for what is inside...

Forget it, aren't we here precisely to improve our own strength? The tentacle monster comforted the two of them. Look, we've already gained quite a few benefits along the way. You got so many corpses, and we got some decent equipment. Isn't that great?

Seeing the optimistic tentacle monster, all complaints vanished from Li Bin's heart, while Shuiyueshenlian pointed loudly toward the gates of the evil temple and declared, Let us charge right up there!

With the experience gained from the first batch of enemies, Li Bin and his companions fought their way step by step up the stairs, pushing straight to the grand entrance of the evil temple. Along the way, they defeated three more patrols, acquiring enough basic equipment to outfit three whole cohorts of cannon fodder for Li Bin.

On the final few steps, Li Bin and the others came to a halt. Shuiyueshenlian pointed at the twelve strange figures standing guard in heavy gray fish-scale armor at the entrance of the evil temple: That is the first trouble we must face at the entrance. Twelve evil warriors, all level 11 bosses with extraordinary combat power. They once directly slaughtered a level 15 sea serpent king under my command, so we must carefully plan how to fight this battle.

Upon hearing this, Li Bin smiled bitterly to himself. Could these even be considered level 11 units? What kind of power allows them to directly obliterate a level 15 force? If the entire place is filled with enemies like these, how is this battle supposed to be fought?

While Li Bin was deep in thought, the tentacle monster began to cry out: How is anyone supposed to fight this? The strongest troops under my command are only level 11, and if I send them out, they won't even last long enough to be slaughtered!

That is precisely why we must rely on our wisdom. Shuiyueshenlian smiled mysteriously. I have studied them; as long as they themselves are not attacked, they will not leave the steps. If we lure them out one by one, dealing with them will be quite effortless.

Then let us do just that. Hearing this, Li Bin agreed with the plan. I will have the cannon fodder under my command lure them out. You just need to set up an ambush.

Wait. The tentacle monster grabbed Li Bin, who was about to go and arrange the attack. I do not believe that setting traps befits our stature. I believe we should attack head-on.

With that, the tentacle monster rallied his troops, preparing to charge directly at the twelve evil warriors.

Are you out of your mind? Li Bin and Shuiyueshenlian lunged forward to grab the tentacle monster. You actually dare to charge at them like this?

What is there not to dare? the tentacle monster shouted loudly. I came here precisely for a proper, hard-fought battle. I am no good at playing ambush games.

Li Bin and Shuiyueshenlian exchanged glances. Knowing that it was impossible to talk sense into the tentacle monster, they had no choice but to reluctantly agree to his demand. However, Li Bin insisted that the initial assault must be carried out by his cannon fodder troops, that all ranged units must remain at the base of the stairs to provide fire, and that a sufficient rear guard of meat shields must be left behind to protect the archers and spellcasters.

Upon hearing this, Shuiyueshenlian instantly understood Li Bin's intention. He nodded and positioned his own ranged water-spitting fish units among Li Bin's archers.

The tentacle monster had also calmed down by this point, and said to Li Bin and the others, My apologies. For a moment, I lost my head...

No need to say more. Be careful during the upcoming battle. When their swords emit a gray glow, you must be extremely cautious; that means they are about to unleash a fatal technique, Shuiyueshenlian warned gravely.

Li Bin nodded. With a wave of his hand, the Death Temple murlocs, brandishing various weapons, charged forward. Since they were currently underwater, Li Bin's cannon fodder split into three echelons and launched assaults on the twelve evil warriors from every possible angle of approach.

Only then did Shuiyueshenlian and the others lead their most elite troops up the stairs, charging toward the evil warriors.

However, the moment they rushed onto the platforms, what met their eyes was a scene where over half of Li Bin's cannon fodder had already been wiped out. Those evil warriors moved underwater even faster than swimming fish, and a single sword stroke was enough to slaughter one or two squads of Death Temple murlocs.

Seeing this, Li Bin abandoned command of the troops charging up the steps and shouted at the top of his lungs: Liches, prepare the Necrotic Domain magic! Curse mages, find a way to control the evil warriors in the vanguard! Archers, ignore the cannon fodder and provide covering fire!

Li Bin's orders were a fraction too late. By the time his subordinates began to execute his commands, all the cannon fodder troops had already perished at the hands of the evil warriors, while the enemy's casualties stood at absolute zero.

Li Bin roared in fury: Damn it! That was an entire cohort of troops! Even if we were fighting the Dragon Clan, we could have taken down one or two giant dragons, yet here they couldn't even kill a single enemy? I refuse to accept this!

Witnessing the terrifying combat prowess of the evil warriors, the tentacle monster also shouted aloud: Shuiyueshenlian, Li Bin, I am sorry, this is all my fault! If not for me, we should have already eliminated several of these enemies by now. Do not worry about me; just let me be the cannon fodder this time!

With that, the tentacle monster charged forward with his troops. Following closely behind him were more than twenty massive turtles with dragon heads. Li Bin recognized them as the tentacle monster's most prized units—the Dragon-Headed Giant Turtles, treasures he usually wouldn't even let anyone glance at.

Seeing this, Shuiyueshenlian refused to be outdone. With a wave of his hand, his giant octopuses rushed out, their long tentacles directly entangling the evil warriors and dragging them desperately toward the ground.

Observing the situation, Li Bin could no longer afford to hold back his trump cards. He commanded: Harbingers of Death, use Declaration of Death! Kill as many as you can!

Hearing Li Bin's words, Shuiyueshenlian's expression changed slightly, but he said nothing further and simply called back the Devouring Giant Fish he was about to send into the fray.

Following the targeted strikes of the Harbingers of Death, five evil warriors dropped dead on the spot. The remaining seven, however, very luckily escaped with their lives, and furthermore, they would be immune to instant-death skills and magic for the rest of the day.

The tentacle monster, his pressure vastly relieved, was overjoyed and exclaimed: Li Bin, with such powerful abilities, why didn't you pull them out earlier? If you had used them sooner, we wouldn't have had to fight for so long! Quickly, wipe out the remaining few!

Li Bin smiled bitterly and replied: Since they managed to evade death, not only can I no longer use the same method to kill them right now, but it is impossible for the remainder of today as well.

Well, you should have said so sooner! I almost had my precious babies fall back. The tentacle monster laughed as he pressed his Dragon-Headed Giant Turtles forward once more.
