As more corpses broke through the ground, they were all part of the Millelith who had defended against monsters back then, but in the end, they had become monsters that only attacked.
Lu Ze looked at the tattered clothes on their bodies. The corpses of the Millelith still held their spears and wore the Millelith set.
However, with the passage of time and decay, these were all rusted and tattered.
Following close behind were countless Geovishaps, mechanical creatures, Automaton, and even Ruin Sentinels. Half of the monsters in the compendium could probably be seen here.
Such a large formation made it hard to imagine how tragic the Archon War had been. Liyue had paid a heavy price to stop these monsters. Countless people had died back then, and how many families? Shattered.
"You all retreat. Leave this to me."
Lu Ze wasn't acting like a hero, but he was worried about everyone else, as this wasn't something they could handle. Even with extreme caution, they might all end up sacrificing themselves.
"What are you talking about? How can we leave it to you alone? How could this hot-blooded scene be something I, this great one, would run away from alone? I can't run away, so I choose not to leave!"
Arataki Itto let out a hearty laugh. When he first met Lu Ze, it was through novels. Now, he looked at Lu Ze with admiration.
"As a Yaksha guardian, how can I flee so easily? If I were to leave, it would indeed disgrace my title as the Great Yaksha, Conqueror of Demons. I will help you clear the obstacles so you can focus on fighting the main force. The Archon is your target."
Xiao also took a step forward, the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear in his hand gleaming with an unusual light, as if it had become incredibly sharp, capable of slaying all enemies.
"I won't leave either. I have no reason to leave. Until reinforcements arrive, I will hold the line here. After all, Liyue is behind us."
Yanfei, as an intelligence operative, had decent combat abilities. However, she had no reason to waste her life here. Yet, she still stayed.
"I am, after all, a half-adeptus beast, possessing both adepti and human blood. Although my main profession is a lawyer, who says lawyers can't fight? I have a Vision, so I won't leave either."
Yanfei chuckled, directly summoning her weapon from her Vision. A gentle breeze blew, turning the pages of her book, filled with notes – all legal knowledge.
"If the boss isn't leaving, then I'm not leaving either. Although I'm not from Liyue, I've lived here for a while. I consider it half of my own, and my second hometown. I have no reason to leave."
Kuki Shinobu quietly took out her sword. The Electro Vision on her hand glowed faintly, and her sword immediately transformed into a long whip. It would probably hurt quite a bit if it were to lash out?
"Fine. I don't wish to help any particular nation. However, these monsters are threatening my life, so I have no choice but to act."
Dainsleif sighed, his deep eyes obscured by his mask. His black longsword declared his identity.
"I am also a traveler. Helping those in need has long been my habit. I will not allow these monsters to harm Liyue!"
The classic dull sword, familiar decorations, yellow hair. Lumine took a step forward. A group of people stood on the same front line.
Seeing this, Lu Ze felt a pang of emotion. Perhaps he would have been this passionate back then.
"Then, let's go together."
From afar, Zhongli watched all this, lost in thought. The people of Liyue had finally grown up. Could Liyue withstand this calamity?
In Zhongli's opinion, with Lu Ze's help, these monsters should not be able to escape the Chasm, let alone threaten Liyue.
However, even though he thought so, it was better to be safe. Zhongli directly guarded the most crucial path, preventing any stragglers from escaping and harming the world.
And in a giant cavern, a massive bat slowly rose. However, what was different was that this bat's head resembled a dragon's.
It also had many scales on its body. Did a bat and a dragon have offspring? No, that's impossible! One is so small, the other so large, how could they possibly get together?
"I'm finally out! Morax, are you ready to face my wrath? Last time was just because I was careless. I never expected to have the chance to see this world again. None of you will be spared!"
Hearing this, Lu Ze was somewhat speechless. You were sealed by the Jade Chamber, which just goes to show how strong you are? With such little strength, you want to challenge the God of War? Are you out of your mind?
Moreover, you've only been out for a short while, your strength hasn't recovered at all. Isn't this just asking to be beaten?
"Everyone, are you ready? If you're ready, let's go together!"
Lu Ze charged forward first, the Black Reef White Flower in his hand gleaming. Then, as he ran, he raised his right hand high and threw it directly.
"Black Reef White Flower! Rated Power! Sacred Lance Countercurrent!"
The Black Reef White Flower, flying rapidly through the air, pierced directly through the giant bat's right wing. Soon, due to lack of balance, the bat was forced to land.
Huge dust clouds billowed up, and thick smoke rose from the entire battlefield.
"How can a mere human… possibly wound me? This is impossible, this is impossible!"
The giant bat was still in disbelief, but I'm sorry! Not only can I wound you, but I can also kill you!
The Black Reef White Flower that flew out quickly returned to Lu Ze's hand. Then, countless vines erupted from the ground, tightly binding the giant bat, and also tightly wrapping around all the surrounding monsters.
This greatly facilitated the battlefield, making it easier for everyone to exert their strengths.
Arataki Itto, wielding his large golden club, quickly hammered back and forth between the monsters. Each blow hit a vital spot, looking very painful.
Xiao leaped rapidly back and forth in the air. Each downward strike could take down a large group of monsters, and he even teleported back and forth between them.
Being sufficiently agile, he could deal with the low-level monsters relatively easily.
And Yanfei? Pulling a thin blue line, she moved rapidly between the monsters. Each time she stopped, she unleashed a burst of Hydro, dealing massive damage.
There was even a blue dice that constantly attacked. Although the damage wasn't high, it could still take down a small monster after a few hits.
Her longbow was drawn and released with agility, each arrow precisely hitting the monsters' heads.
