After a brief exchange of messages with the others, Reins looked in the direction of Apaya, and the two men looked at each other and nodded, and Aphaya began to crack the encryption.

The monster hadn't changed for the time being, but everyone was on alert, and for a moment the entire factory was quiet enough to hear the sound of Apaya's rapid keypad buttons on the worktop, and the atmosphere became more and more tense as time went on.

The "clang" of metal hitting the ground came abruptly from not far away, and almost everyone was so startled by the sound that they almost jumped up, and Reins squinted at it, and to her surprise, it was still something that some idiot had done.

"Leanne, do you have any grievances?"

"Huh?" Lillian replied to her in a poor tone, "Isn't that obvious?" What are you doing with the air so stiff? It's not going to be able to respond properly, so I'm going to break the atmosphere, what's the problem? ”

Lilian's bold statement made Reins want to fight back, but she forced herself to resist the urge anyway. Lillian's lesson could have been done in the future, but now was not the right time, and she didn't want to be unable to detect the monster's anomaly in time because of such a senseless thing.

"The first lock is unlocked." Apaya warned at this point, "The beast should start resisting - according to the clearance, it won't move, but watch out for the gas coming out of its mouth and nose, which is somewhat corrosive. ”

The news lifted the spirits of everyone present, and Lillian clenched her axes more excitedly, ready to attack like a beast staring at its prey.

Just as they had faintly expected in their hearts—yes, though none of the others showed it, but somehow in their hearts they were expecting the battle to begin—the beast began to make much stronger movements than before, and although its eyes had not yet opened, its head lifted and its mouth wide open, revealing a row of fangs and disgusting saliva inside.

A yellow-green mist-like gas began to condense in front of the beast's mouth, and it was like a signal, causing people to act quickly.

"Drink ——!"

Lillian yelled and aimed her axe at the beast's jaw and slashed it from the bottom up, Reine's pre-battle ear life had finally taught her not to attack her eyes and nose, and the large mouth space obviously didn't make her axe work.

Her attack caused the beast's head to tilt slightly, not enough to interrupt its stored strength, but Lillian was not alone in attacking, the others were also attacking in the direction of the trend she had created. Lillian fell lightly back to the ground, and she looked at her weapon and shook it vigorously in disgust.

"It's a weird touch to cut it up." "It's not at all pleasant—the axe is all sinking, but it's not cut at all, and it feels like the axe is slipping off its skin...... Oh, it's disgusting, it's like there's slime. ”

Reines frowned at her description, and looked at Lillian's axe, but she didn't see any liquid on it, and in fact, there was nothing foreign stuck to it.

"Maybe a large-scale attack will have a smaller effect on it." Reins pondered, "Your axe doesn't have any slime sticking to it, or maybe it's just some illusion of its defenses. ”

Lillian shrugged her shoulders and answered her not particularly seriously.

"Probably, I don't understand it either. But really, the saliva in its mouth doesn't seem harmless, and its teeth can't be a problem if they live in this environment for a long time? Maybe it's just looking powerful, but it's actually rotten from the inside? ”

Lillian's question caused Reins to squirt out of her nose and slam the handle of her dagger into her head.

"There is time to think about this inexplicable and pointless question, and you should continue to attack."

"Hey, how can this be pointless?" Lillian rubbed her head and protested, "If I can chop off those teeth of it, maybe it will be an effective attack as well?" ”

Reins stared at her expressionlessly, until Lillian herself looked away with some weakness, and then opened her mouth leisurely.

"You've got a curiosity that's more mysterious than a cat, don't give yourself some lame excuses, Leanne." Reins said slowly, then walked towards the monster with the dagger, "Now, get back into the fight." ”

Lillian muttered and complained while obediently picking up the axe and returning to the battle, Reins carefully observed the movement of the beast, and when it was attacked again to the point that its head had a certain degree of deflection and stiffened, she quickly rushed over, jumped along the body of the monster to the top of the beast's head, and stabbed it hard in the center.

The beast didn't roar or make any big movements as it normally would, on the contrary, its range of movements slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made their attacks smoother.

"It looks like the sleeping area still has some effect on its movements." With the beast hanging its head, Reins jumped back to the ground, "You can consider attacking the top of your head and neck, which will also reduce the pressure." ”

Others seem to think the same way. One of Boe's friends, the female archer, half-knelt on the spot and drew her bow, and when their companion smashed the beast's head back with the huge hammer, the arrow from the bow flew swiftly towards the circle around the beast's neck, accurately hitting the second line from the bottom up, perpendicular to the left eye.

The beast was sluggish even as it returned its head to its normal state, and the mist in front of its mouth had long since been dissipated into the air by successive attacks, and Small's law dutifully dealt with the gases that would cause damage to the human body even if they were scattered in the air.

The beast's defenses were as Rhines had guessed, and a weapon with extensive contact would not be effective in piercing its skin, but sharp weapons such as arrows or the tip of a dagger could pierce its body. As a result, they made minor changes to the offensive lineup, which made Lillian depressed for a while.

While they had almost beaten the beast back to its previous slumber stage, Apaya's side had made new progress again.

"The second lock has been opened, and only one door is left to complete. That layer of locks is related to the Warcraft itself, and it needs to be awakened to a certain extent, about a third of the way its eyes are open - but at this stage, the Warcraft's defense will be very tough, and it may be difficult to cause any damage to it, and I will also try to control it. ”

"Now we need to attack the eyes and nose." Reins narrowed her eyes, "Maybe we did some useless work just now, or even hindered progress?" ”

"No, not really." Apaya quickly reassured her, "Finally, the lock itself is hidden, and it requires a certain amount of fluctuation to manifest the beast, and this is a difference between the state of the beast before and after, if you don't drag it back to sleep, then it may need to be fully awakened to be useful—and this situation will become too dangerous." ”

Reins raised an eyebrow, deciding to let herself gladly accept the engineer's words and stop thinking about anything more.

Once again, Lillian has a place to play. The part that awakens the monster does not require them to cut into the flesh of the monster to be effective, and according to the information provided by Apaya, the eyes and nose of the monster are already relatively weak defenses. What they needed to do was to penetrate the beast's skin to inflict a powerful enough blow.

But even though the defenses in two key parts were not as tough as the others, they felt the frustration of not being able to use their strength. And at this stage, the demonic beast did not give up the attack, it no longer condensed the large group of gas, but divided into many small groups to try to cause damage, this change was enough to cause confusion for a while.

"Set up an interception net first!" Reins once again assumed the role of conductor, "Bora, Ella, Ellie!" You go and set up an interception network, and don't worry about anything else! Can't let its attacks get past us! ”

Behind them were people who didn't have enough self-protection skills, and regardless of the life and death of those in Rossos, the golden cage that protected Ciruo might not be able to withstand the corrosive gases of the beasts, and Apaya, who was focused on the console, didn't have strong enough defensive items to protect himself.

The three men named moved without any delay. Bora summoned an earthy four-legged beast that roared silently as a honeycomb-like barrier slowly unfolded behind it. In the factory, where there were no other lifeforms other than them, Ella had no way to summon the spirit, so she worked with Illion to increase the magic power of the summoned beast.

Smofa also stood in the rear and stood by in battle. The bottle he had taken from the church was filled with black gas, but Smofa had compressed it to the bottom, giving the bottle enough to absorb it again.

"It's still very bearable." "It's not just about how much space it takes, it's about the color of the bottle itself—it's still transparent, which proves that it's not even a tenth of the filth it absorbs." ”

The efforts of the four men were enough to create a perfect interception net behind the combatants, and Kate and the man with the shield at the foreground also acted as a reliable defender. They were able to block most of the Monster's attacks, and there were very few attacks that could finally jump in front of the interception net.

After the gas processing system was perfected, the rest of the people were relieved to continue attacking the parts that could revive the demonic beasts.
