--------------------------------------

The fighting style of the Mud Monsters is different from the previous small monsters and small trees. They are like tanks, ignoring all other attacks and pushing straight forward.

The soldiers couldn't withstand their advance at all.

Even if they are hit by various attacks, they don't care.

When they reach the designated location, or are almost defeated, these Mud Monsters will self-detonate, and the explosion range is quite large, sometimes reaching over ten meters.

The trees and weapons that are blasted away can directly crush a large number of soldiers.

This situation shocked Gu Xi.

He overturned the previous defense plans he had drawn up.

Judging from the current situation, without a strong enough defense line, it's feared that they won't be able to withstand it.

He really didn't expect that even the small monsters on the Tail King side would have three transformations and a self-destruction feature.

If this was the first time Gu Xi faced such an enemy, he might not be able to block such an attack even if he exhausted all his forces.

"Luckily, I'm not in a rush to take action this time."

Gu Xi couldn't help but sigh with relief. If he had rushed in blindly without knowing anything, no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn't have withstood such an attack.

At this moment, trouble arose again in Anna's elite unit.

Although they have been guarding against Spore Cultist Charlie, his methods remain indefensible.

Regardless of whether he's attacking or defending, even when overwhelmed by the Old Wizard, his red threads continue to influence the elite soldiers below.

Now, part of the elite soldiers have been controlled by the red threads and have started to attack their comrades.

Most crucially, two elite soldiers are standing by the Old Wizard, ready to disrupt his current actions.

The Old Wizard had already exhausted his mana.

If he weren't supporting the light pillar, even his magic staff would have dimmed.

With the sudden appearance of two elite soldiers, the Old Wizard couldn't spare any magic to deal with them; he could only shift his position slightly.

During his movement, a small gap in the light beam appeared.

This slight gap provided Spore Cultist Charlie an opportunity.

Four blood-red roots quickly retracted, enclosing Spore Cultist Charlie within.

At this point, Gu Xi could see that everything the Old Wizard had prepared was now useless. After being interrupted, attempting to use this move to kill Spore Cultist Charlie was no longer feasible.

While Gu Xi felt regret, pondering whether he could release the Death Incarnation for another round, the Archer released another arrow.

Gu Xi hadn't paid much attention to the Archer; he didn't expect that he was biding his time for a big move.

This arrow circumvented the four roots in front of Spore Cultist Charlie and struck him right in the face.

Gu Xi was amazed by the Archer's skill, considering the target was so small. Standing farther back, Gu Xi couldn't even see the enemy's face clearly, yet the Archer hit it precisely. One cannot deny the Archer's strength.

As the arrow struck, the Archer was ready to shoot again.

But something suddenly felt off to him.

At that moment, Anna also raised her head, seemingly noticing something.

Gu Xi discovered the anomaly only after everyone stopped fighting and looked toward Spore Cultist Charlie.

When he looked up, he saw that all of Spore Cultist Charlie's roots turned blood-red, giving the impression that they were filled with ten to fifteen times more blood, causing them to swell transparently.

Even the black apple blossoms on the roots had turned a dark red.

This situation was evidently wrong; Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized a possibility.

"Be careful, he's sacrificing himself! Everyone, be cautious!"

Gu Xi had seen Spore Cultist Charlie's profile before.

He knew that there was a 20% chance that Charlie might self-sacrifice during battle, destroying everything.

The current situation clearly indicated self-sacrifice, although he was unsure whether this would destroy just the space in front or the entire instance.

Anna quickly judged the situation upon hearing Gu Xi's words.

"Retreat to the underground tomb; I'll seek help from Grand Auntie."

So all the troops swiftly disengaged and retreated towards the crack behind them.

Gu Xi, being in the way, was almost pushed out of the crack by the others.

Fortunately, Gu Xi dodged quickly, but his Undead Corps weren't so lucky and were scattered.

Gu Xi was quite displeased with this situation.

He was about to step forward and speak when he noticed that Spore Cultist Charlie had doubled in size.

Gu Xi knew time was running out.

Without hesitation, he opened the city gate and sent all his forces inside.

As for Gu Xi himself, he stood in front of the city gate, wanting to get a glimpse of the outside situation.

If only the spatial holding of Spore Cultist Charlie was destroyed, it would be fine, but if the entire instance was destroyed, Gu Xi would have to escape through Yalidu City.

So he took this opportunity to look out and see the final situation.

By this time, Anna had already reached Svietlana's stone coffin.

"Grand Auntie, we encountered a situation..."

Before Anna finished speaking, a blood-red root stabbed through behind her.

The root emitted a dark aura.

It was clear that this root was no longer controlled by Spore Cultist Charlie and belonged to a level 20 powerhouse.

The root appeared abruptly.

As the first root pierced through Eldest Princess Anna, many similar roots started descending from above the underground tomb, aiming at all the living.

Gu Xi immediately sensed the danger. Without a second thought, he retreated straight to Yalidu City.

As he pulled back, another root chased towards the city gate.

With the root chasing inside, Gu Xi didn't even consider whether his mana was full or not, and immediately unleashed the Death Incarnation to face it head-on.

The Death Incarnation became entangled by the root, but it showed no fear, turning its head to unleash the Melting Light and Death Dragon Breath, hitting the root directly.

At this time, Gu Xi looked towards Anna's group, biting his teeth as the gate in the Magic Plant District was placed in front of them.

"Retreat!"
