"Hurry up and summon more puppets!"
Ai Qinen urged Chen Mo.
The Mountain Giant had lost quite a bit of health, but the Aiqin Kingdom's soldiers had also lost quite a bit of health. If Chen Mo didn't hurry up and summon more puppets to help, the Aiqin Kingdom's soldiers wouldn't be able to hold on.
Chen Mo nodded and summoned another defensive puppet.
Ai Qinen let out a sigh of relief as the defensive puppet stepped forward.
As long as the defensive puppet was present, the Aiqin Kingdom's soldiers wouldn't have to worry about their safety.
However, Ai Qinen couldn't help but furrow her brows.
She realized that the defensive puppets this time weren't as effective as before. The number of times the Mountain Giant attacked the defensive puppets seemed to decrease, and the number of times it attacked the guards increased.
The kingdom's soldiers' health was rapidly decreasing!
"What's going on? Are you holding back on purpose?"
Ai Qinen suddenly turned to Chen Mo. She wanted to know if Chen Mo was playing tricks.
"Lady Ai Qinen, what do you mean by that?
Look at my puppet, do you see any difference in its movements?
However, a puppet is still a puppet. If the Mountain Giant doesn't attack it, what can I do?
It's not like the Mountain Giant is an idiot who doesn't know how to think. What's so strange about it changing its movements? "Chen Mo bitterly smiled.
Ai Qinen looked at Chen Mo's expression. She then turned to look at the Mountain Giant and Chen Mo's puppets. She felt that Chen Mo wasn't lying.
The defensive puppet's movements were indeed the same as before. However, the Mountain Giant wasn't attacking the puppets anymore and was attacking the soldiers more often.
Thinking about it, Chen Mo's words made sense. The Mountain Giant was one of the guardians of the treasure. Its health had already fallen to less than 30%. It wasn't strange for it to change its attack pattern.
"Everyone be careful! The guardian monster's attack pattern has changed!"
Ai Qinen warned the kingdom's soldiers.
Even so, it wasn't long before one of the soldiers was attacked by the Mountain Giant twice and unfortunately died.
Ai Qinen's expression sank. She didn't expect someone to die even with the defensive puppet.
"Lady Ai Qinen, should we retreat?
I feel like the Mountain Giant has become even stronger. "
Chen Mo asked cautiously.
"No!
Continue!
I don't believe that I can't kill it! "
However, Ai Qinen clenched his teeth and said fiercely.
Someone had already died. If they couldn't kill the Mountain Giant, that person would have died for nothing.
"Control your puppet to follow closely behind. When the Mountain Giant attacks, take the initiative to let your puppet take the hit!"
Ai Qinen ordered Chen Mo.
"Alright!"
Chen Mo nodded and began to control the puppets to block the Mountain Giant's attacks.
However, the movements of Chen Mo's puppet were always slower than the Mountain Giant's. The puppet could only block some of the attacks, and most of them still landed on the soldiers.
Naturally, the number of Aiqin Kingdom's soldiers who died gradually increased.
From the first one to the death of Chen Mo's defensive puppet, the number of dead soldiers had reached five.
However, the Mountain Giant only had less than 20% of its health left.
"Continue!"
Ai Qinen couldn't give up on the Mountain Giant with so much HP. She gritted her teeth and shouted.
Chen Mo released another defensive puppet. However, this time, it seemed to be even weaker than before. While this defensive puppet was still alive, several more soldiers from the Aiqin Kingdom died.
Ai Qinen's face paled. She couldn't understand why the soldiers couldn't block the Mountain Giant's attacks when they were clearly on the winning side.
Even without the defensive puppet, the situation shouldn't be like this!
Only Chen Mo, who was at the side, was secretly delighted.
Of course, this situation was intentional.
In the beginning, the defensive golem was indeed struggling to defend itself. However, Chen Mo would secretly control the golem to guide the Mountain Giant's attacks so that the golem's attacks would land evenly on the soldiers of different kingdoms.
As a result, none of the soldiers were in danger. However, in reality, all of the soldiers were losing HP.
As the HP slowly accumulated, neither the soldiers nor Ai Qinen realized that the situation was already unfavorable for them.
By the time the Mountain Giant's HP had fallen to 70%, Chenmo had already used his Inferior Defensive Golem.
The inferior defensive puppet was something that Chen Mo had purposely created for this operation.
It looked no different from the defensive puppet at the beginning, but it was much weaker when it came to pulling aggro.
After the inferior defensive puppet entered the battlefield, Chen Mo didn't need to control it. The Mountain Giant began to attack the soldiers.
The health of the kingdom's soldiers had been reduced by a lot, and under the fierce attacks of the Mountain Giant, they naturally suffered casualties.
If it was any other time, Ai Qinen would have considered whether or not to retreat when the soldiers suffered casualties.
However, the Mountain Giant didn't have much HP left. She didn't want to retreat at all.
"Roar!"
When the Mountain Giant's HP fell below 10%, it roared and knocked away a defensive puppet with its wooden club. Then, it wildly swung its club at the soldiers around it.
Almost all of the soldiers were at critical HP. Under the Mountain Giant's frenzied attacks, several of them died.
There were more than 30 soldiers in total, and almost half of them had died.
"Kill!
Kill it! "
Whether it was Ai Qinen or the dozen or so soldiers who were still alive, they all madly charged at the Mountain Giant.
Under their reckless attacks, the Mountain Giant's HP fell to less than 10%, and they managed to kill it without losing a single person.
When the Mountain Giant collapsed, Ai Qinen and the others let out a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations, Miss Ai Qinen."
Chen Mo congratulated her with a smile.
"Congratulations?
Hmph!
Don't think that I didn't notice that the puppets you took out at the end were different from the ones at the beginning! "
However, Ai Qinen looked at Chen Mo with a murderous look.
At first, she didn't suspect anything, but when she saw the remains of a defensive puppet, she noticed the difference.
The materials used to make inferior puppets were obviously inferior to those used to make high-quality puppets. The remains of the puppet made Ai Qinen speculate.
However, by the time she confirmed it, the Mountain Giant was already on the verge of death, and almost half of the soldiers had died. Worried that Chen Mo would use the puppets to deal with them, Ai Qinen forced herself to endure.
However, with the Mountain Giant dead, she no longer had to worry about anything.
Under Ai Qinen's lead, the remaining dozen or so soldiers also looked at Chen Mo with murderous looks.
It could be said that it was because of Chen Mo that so many of their comrades had died.
"Miss Ai Qinen, you can think of a way to deal with me, but I can't deal with you?"
Chen Mo said with a smile.
"You know that I'm going to deal with you?" Ai Qinen was stunned, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
At the same time that she led her team to obtain the treasure, the other army of the Ai Qinen Kingdom had already set off. Now, they were probably already fighting with this adventurer's territory.
This adventurer knew that she was going to deal with him, yet he still followed her. That meant that there was probably an extremely difficult trap waiting for her soldiers in his territory!
"Capture him!"
However, there was no point in thinking about that now. The most important thing was to capture this person.
"Golden Mark — Advanced Form!"
"Crimson Cage!"
However, Chen Mo wasn't going to wait for them to come. He was already prepared.
The moment Ai Qinen gave the order, Chen Mo used several skills in succession.
The Advanced Form of Golden Mark was a powerful skill that could even temporarily imprison a boss. Combined with the Crimson Cage skill, the surrounding soldiers and Ai Qinen were instantly trapped by a dark golden fog, and their bodies were practically immobilized.
"Kill!"
"Wave Breaker!"
"Earth-Shattering Spike!"
The soldiers couldn't move. Chen Mo suddenly launched a barrage of attacks at them.
There was no other way. These soldiers were all Level 65. If he didn't kill them while they couldn't move, once the skill's effects wore off, Chen Mo would be killed by them.
Chen Mo wasn't afraid of two or three soldiers. He could escape even if there were five or six of them. However, against ten at the same time, without the combination of Crimson Cage and Golden Mark, he was dead for sure.
These weren't stupid monsters. They were natives of this world with the ability to think.
Under the attacks of Chen Mo and the Blood Shadow Doppelganger, the soldiers who didn't have much health left were killed one after another.
When the Crimson Cage dissipated, Ai Qinen was the only one left alive.
"You've killed so many of our people. You're dead for sure. There won't be a place for you to hide in the entire Ai Qinen Kingdom. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape!"
Ai Qinen knew that Chen Mo most likely wouldn't let her go after killing so many soldiers. However, she wasn't afraid. She only spoke coldly.
"Is that so?"
Chen Mo smiled. Before Chen Mo and Ai Qinen could move, he took out a potion and poured it into Ai Qinen's mouth.
"What did you make me drink?"
Ai Qinen cried out in shock. She discovered that she was no longer unable to move. Instead, her body was completely devoid of strength. She softly fell to the ground.
"A very special potion. It's probably poison to you people."
Chen Mo chuckled. He walked over to Ai Qinen and helped her up.
He had gained some experience dealing with Isaka in the elven territory. Before coming here, he had obtained a bottle of this strange potion. This potion could render an NPC powerless for a few minutes. However, the conditions to use it were even more stringent. The NPC had to drink the entire bottle.
If it weren't for the advanced form of Golden Mark, it would've been impossible to achieve.
"What do you want to do to me?"
Ai Qinen couldn't help but panic when she saw Chen Mo help her up.
"What do you think?"
Chen Mo tore off a piece of Ai Qinen's armor, revealing her snow-white skin.
"Bastard!
Stop it! "
Ai Qinen cried out in panic. She wanted to struggle, but her body didn't have the slightest bit of strength.
