At the foot of the eastern side of Scarlet Flame Mountain, the space between it and the Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons was packed tight.
A mass of players and gathered monsters converged like two torrents meeting.
Some of the monsters had even broken through the players' defenses and reached the Demon Suppression Cauldron at the back.
They began attacking the nearest cauldron.
Each time a monster struck the cauldron, a crack would appear on its surface.
"Pull some people back to guard the cauldron!"
"We can't. If we pull back, more monsters will flood in."
"This is impossible! Damn it, Priest, heal me!"
"Is there any boss around to help? Help!"
"Where's God Chen? Why isn't he here?"
"The First Kill team is nowhere to be seen. Did they already wipe out?"
...
Players shouted back and forth, creating a cacophony of noise.
The scene was chaotic, with everyone struggling to cope.
People kept falling.
The monster army was steadily closing in on the Demon Suppression Cauldron.
At this moment, Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the scene before them, both were stunned.
What a human tragedy!
Tao Xiaoyao quickly regained her composure. She looked at the situation and murmured, "It seems we're too late. We can't hold out much longer unless Brother Mortal World arrives..."
She sent a message to Jiang Chen, explaining the situation.
Then she quickly said, "Sister Qing Ying, let's circle around from the left."
Qing Ying nodded, "Okay."
Soon.
The two of them reached the side and rear of the player army.
Stolen story; please report.
"Those are Dragon Guild members, Sister Qing Ying. Can you get their ranged players to prioritize the monsters near the cauldron?"
Tao Xiaoyao suddenly said.
She saw a large group of people not far away, many with the "Dragon" prefix.
"I'll try."
Qing Ying nodded and was about to walk over.
Then someone nearby shouted, "The First Kill team is here!"
"It's Boss Qing Ying!"
"The National Server's Number One Knight?"
"Boss, please help, we can't hold on!"
...
A group of people started shouting.
Qing Ying was overwhelmed by the noise and quickly said, "Stop, stop, listen to me."
Immediately, the noise around her quieted down significantly.
Seeing this, Qing Ying quickly said, "Dragon Guild members, can you hear me? Have your ranged players prioritize the monsters near the cauldron!"
She repeated it loudly.
"What about the monsters in front without ranged firepower?"
A Dragon Guild member frowned and asked.
"The First Kill team..."
Dragon Guild leader Dragon in the Sky glanced at Qing Ying not far away and murmured to himself.
He suddenly recalled the scene of Jiang Chen's rampage on Scarlet Flame Mountain.
After a brief hesitation, he quickly said, "Do as she says. Ranged players, prioritize the monsters near the cauldron!"
Immediately, a large group of ranged players turned and started attacking the monsters near the cauldron.
The melee players at the front of Dragon Guild felt the increased pressure.
Some guild members had already fallen.
"Sister Qing Ying, have the ranged players on the right side of Dragon Guild move over. There are fewer monsters there, so the pressure should be less."
"And those with the 'Heroic' prefix in front, have them pull back a bit to support Dragon Guild."
"Hey, that Priest named 'I'm a Bit Dizzy,' why are you only healing your teammates? The Knight next to you has no health! If you don't heal him and he dies, won't the monsters come for you?"
"And that team..."
...
Tao Xiaoyao's voice kept ringing out.
Qing Ying kept relaying her instructions.
Slowly, the situation in this area began to improve!
However, this area was only about one-fifth of the entire place.
The rest of the players were still in chaos.
A few minutes passed.
The overall situation continued to deteriorate.
"The players in the middle are about to be breached, Sister Qing Ying, let's go."
"Sister Qing Ying, help that Warrior in front tank the monsters. I'll use Little Yellow to lure away the two coming from behind."
"Sister Qing Ying, you..."
Tao Xiaoyao continued to give commands.
However.
"It's over. A large group of monsters has already broken through on the far right."
"What do we do? If the Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons are destroyed, does that mean we fail the mission?"
At this moment, on the far right, with the fall of a dozen melee players, a large group of monsters surged forward.
Without the front line, the hundreds of fragile classes behind could only scatter like birds and beasts.
In an instant, hundreds of monsters rushed towards the Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons.
"Damn it! The tank is down, can't you ranged players pull the monsters?"
"How? Pulling them over is still a death sentence!"
"You think I'm God Chen? Pulling monsters, are you crazy!"
"Idiot, at this point, you're still thinking about saving yourself. Failing the mission is worse than dying!"
"Shut up, if you're so capable, you do it!"
As the defense line collapsed, players started cursing each other.
At this moment, Tao Xiaoyao and Qing Ying were still in the middle section.
Seeing the situation on the far right, even Tao Xiaoyao couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh helplessly, "It's hopeless..."
Suddenly.
She received a message.
[Mortal World: I'm here!]
"Brother Mortal World is here?!"
Tao Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Brother Mortal World, circle around to the cauldron. This place is already lost!"
At the same time.
"God Chen is here!"
Someone shouted.
Immediately, the crowd erupted in shouts.
"Really? God Chen is here!?"
"Where is God Chen? Save us, God Chen!"
"Who the hell is God Chen? What's the use of him coming now? It's all over!"
At the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Chen and Moonlit Dance had reached the edge of the battlefield.
Seeing the chaos before him, Jiang Chen frowned and sighed inwardly.
"Let's circle to the back."
After receiving Tao Xiaoyao's message, Jiang Chen quickly headed to the right.
Soon.
He saw the Demon Suppression Cauldron.
At this moment, hundreds of monsters surrounded the Nine Demon-Suppressing Cauldrons.
Several of the cauldrons were already half-destroyed!
"Blink!"
"Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array!"
With a thought, Jiang Chen's body disappeared from his original position as the blue rune on his forehead lit up.
In an instant, he appeared in the midst of the monsters.
At the same time, a hexagram magic array appeared.
With the blessing of the purple crystal ball, the array emitted an even more dazzling holy light!
For a moment.
Countless eyes were drawn to the scene.
They saw that under the holy light, the monsters' health was rapidly decreasing, and they fell in droves.
Everyone seemed to witness a miracle.
...
On Scarlet Flame Mountain, inside the twelfth Gate of Sealing.
Jian Qi Heng Qiu and the other three stared at the BOSS information before them, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Especially the main tank, Knight Xiao An, who looked at the BOSS in front of him, bewildered and at a loss.
