With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 218 The Shadow of the Sky

Occasionally, a few stragglers would slip through the net, such as bats that broke through the firepower or groundhogs that crawled out from underground, trying to ambush the back row. Before they could cause any damage, Lin Tian simply raised his finger casually.

*Swoosh!* A faint starlight flashed, and the monster was instantly pierced and killed.

His attack was extremely stealthy and fast. Apart from the few players who were rescued who felt a gust of wind and the monster was gone, most people did not notice his subtle movements.

"Holy crap? Why did that bat explode on its own?"

"I don't know, maybe it crashed into a tree?"

"Who cares, as long as they're dead!"

Although the first wave of monsters was numerous, their strength was limited. With the guild's well-organized defense and output, their numbers decreased at a visible rate.

After Zhang Tianya and his warriors ganged up on and killed the last elite-level [Berserk Alpha Wolf], which dropped a blue-quality item, the open space outside the valley finally fell silent for a while. Only monster corpses and glittering loot remained.

"Is it... over?"

"We held off the first wave! Hahaha!"

"Quickly, clean up the battlefield! Restore your health and mana to full!"

"Sister Priest, please cast a Healing spell!"

The members of the alliance erupted in cheers, but soon, urged by their team captains, they began busily packing up their spoils and getting back into form.

Everyone knows this is just an appetizer.

Zhang Tianya wiped the monster's blood splattered on his face, took a deep breath, walked over to Lin Tian, ​​and grinned, "Brother Lin Tian, ​​how's it going? Are our brothers up to par?"

Lin Tian nodded, unusually giving his approval: "Not bad, the formation isn't messed up. Just a reminder to the mages and archers, conserve your mana, the later waves will definitely get harder and harder."

Zhang Tianya's expression hardened, and he nodded emphatically: "Understood! I'll go tell them right away!"

He turned around and went to yell at the ranged classes who were still excitedly discussing the battle they had just fought.

Looking at the distant forests outside the valley, which were beginning to stir again, Lin Tian knew that the second wave would probably not be so simple. He yawned and found a more comfortable rock to sit on.

"Hopefully something interesting will come along."

......

The first wave of monsters was dealt with as easily as slicing melons and vegetables. The men of the guild stood up straight and walked with a swagger.

Picking up the copper coins and materials that had spilled from the ground, they couldn't help but boast to each other:

"Hey, I took down three of those wolves all by myself!"

"Come on, if it weren't for my shield holding up, you'd be wolf food by now!"

"This monster siege sounds scary, but it's not that bad!"

Although Zhang Tianya shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't get cocky! Get back into shape! The real challenge is yet to come!", he couldn't help but loosen his own nerves a little.

After all, a smooth start is always a good omen.

Lin Tian, ​​however, remained unperturbed, leaning against his personal "spectator stone," and even pulled out a water pouch from somewhere, taking a leisurely sip.

His ears twitched slightly as he caught a strange sound coming from the distant sky.

It was a low, dense buzzing sound, like thousands of locusts flapping their wings at the same time, growing clearer and clearer as it approached, sending chills down one's spine.

"What's that noise?" Some players with sharp ears heard it and looked up in confusion.

When he looked up, good heavens, his face turned pale with fright.

On the horizon, a massive "black cloud" was pressing down on Crimson Flame Valley!

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a cloud at all!

On the left were swarms of bloodthirsty bats, several times more numerous than the first wave, their wings flapping as if the end of the world had come.

On the right are a group of bizarre creatures I've never seen before—Harpies!

These female demons were incredibly ugly; their upper bodies resembled those of malnourished, distorted-faced old women, with withered skin, pointed mouths, and monkey-like cheeks.

Its lower body consisted of enormous eagle claws and wings, and it held either a rough stone spear or a blowgun in its hands. As it flew, it emitted a sharp whistling sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard, which gave people goosebumps.

"Detection! Quick!" Zhang Tianya's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong, and he quickly shouted.

A flash of light, and information feedback:

[Bloodthirsty Bats, Level 25-28]

Harpy, level 28-30, possesses ranged attack capabilities, throws stone spears and releases weak wind blades; be careful to avoid them!

"Damn it! It's a flying monster! And it can even travel at a distance!" Zhang Tianya's expression changed instantly.

He's not afraid of ground monsters; there are barricades and shield walls. But these aerial monsters completely ignore all your front-line defenses and can directly attack your most vulnerable back-line mages and priests like they're targets!

"All ranged units! Look up! Look at the sky! Shoot them down for me!"

"Shield Warrior! Raise your shields! Protect the backline! Don't let the rock fragments hit the mage and healer!"

"Quick! Quick! Move! Adjust your formation!"

Zhang Tianya's roar carried a hint of anxiety he himself didn't realize. The players in the battle alliance panicked and began to move around wildly like headless flies.

The archers and mages hurriedly raised their weapons and aimed at the rapidly approaching "cloud of death".

But it's too chaotic! Utterly chaotic!

The mages' fireball spells are okay against stationary targets, but against these high-speed flying creatures, it's like hitting a mosquito with a stone. Occasionally, they might hit one or two, but the damage is negligible, like a tickle.

By this time, the harpies had entered firing range.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

Chi Chi Chi -!

Rough stone spears and a terrifying number of weak but powerful wind blades rained down from the sky like hail!

Their target is very clear—those back-row classes who wear cloth armor and are as fragile as paper!

"Raise your shields! Protect!" The shield warriors in the front row hurriedly raised their huge shields above their heads, like supporting metal roofs.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Thud!

The stone spear struck the shield with a dull, frightening thud.

But the shield couldn't protect everyone, and a large number of attacks bypassed the temporary barrier.

"Ouch! I've been hit by a spear! It hurts so much! Give me some heal!"

"Even a single gust of wind from that wind blade draws a chunk of blood!"

"My spellcasting was interrupted! Damn it!"

"Damn it! I can't aim at them at all! They're flying too fast!"

The back row instantly erupted into chaos.

The female priests screamed as they dodged the "rain of stones" and "wind blades" falling from the sky, while frantically healing their injured teammates. They were simply too busy to keep up.

The monks' chanting was frequently interrupted, causing them to turn red in the face and nearly vomit blood.

The archers' quiver deflated at a visible rate, yet their gains were meager.
