After Xie Feng said a few more words to Yang Tian, he did not delay any more; time was running against the players and a single minute of his delay meant the death of tens or even hundreds of defenders.
Xie Feng jumped on Ferghana's Horse and ignored the gaze of all the players as he rode in a hurry from outside the south gate into the inner city. He was in such a hurry that he even activated Cloud Path to further increase his already high movement speed.
When Xie Feng passed by the NPCs or players who stayed inside the city walls to protect the inhabitants in case any monsters sneaked in, they all looked at the reddish horse in surprise.
The blood-red pelt and powerful body gave Ferghana's horse an extremely dominant and powerful appearance; especially considering that even those leaders of big guilds could not afford to spend 30 thousand gold coins to buy a horse. Even people with noble status in the real world only owned a horse of 1st grade or 2nd grade at most.
The appearance of Ferghana's Horse together with the unmistakable figure of Shiva attracted attention and all the players came to the same conclusion after seeing how rushed he was; something bad must have happened.
Indeed.
Since the end of the 3rd wave of the monsters' attack Xie Feng had sensed that something was wrong, but due to constant fighting and careful planning for the following attacks, he ignored it.
However, when Mu Wuying sent him an urgent help message and he read it, Xie Feng finally understood where the uncomfortable feeling came from.
During the 1st wave of attacks, at the end of it, a level 10 Sun grade boss appeared. After the end of the 1st wave and when the 2nd wave was nearing its end, the Imperial Triton Soldier appeared; a Lord level 15 boss.
But, the problem was that during the 3rd wave and even at the end no final boss monster appeared.
Although during the 3rd wave a dozen 4 Sun bosses and an Imperial Triton Soldier appeared, the pattern that had been fulfilled during the previous two waves had been interrupted.
However, the problem was that although a final boss did not appear in the south, a final boss did appear in the eastern part of the city.
According to Mu Wuying's explanation, the problem with this boss was that its movement speed was too high, so she could not catch up with it. Even when her magic spells hit it, the main reason was because the boss was momentarily surrounded; however, the monster that had appeared easily broke all the restraints and caused chaos again.
Xie Feng leaned his body forward and urged the Ferghana Horse to run a little more quickly.

-East Gate
Boom
Boom
Booom!!
Sounds of deep explosions echoed throughout the battlefield as the cries of the players echoed across the plain.
A huge ape-like beast the size of a small house could be seen running around. The players tried to stop it, but most of the time the giant ape eluded them easily and even when the players managed to encircle the beast successfully, they could only hold it off for two or three seconds before the monster ran rampant across the battlefield again.
For every place the giant ape passed through, it left a wave of death behind its back.
Boom!
Two laser beams shot out of the ape-like beast's red eyes and hit more than ten players at the same time; the players couldn't even cry out before their health bars hit rock bottom.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Three brown wolves chased the giant ape a few meters behind. These brown wolves were the beasts summoned by One Man Army. Unfortunately, although the three wolves possessed a movement speed superior to that of normal players, they could not compare to the boss's movement speed and constant jumping.
A snow-white horse ran only a meter or two behind the wolves. On the horse's back was an extremely beautiful woman in a sky blue mage robe, however, the beautiful woman's face was filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction at this moment.
Mu Wuying pointed at the back of the giant ape with her staff and a crimson magic spear shot towards the monster; immediately after the first magic spear, another spear was conjured by Mu Wuying and it too flew towards the monster.
Bang!
The first spear missed due to a strange jump made by the beast.
Boom!
-1000
The second magic spear successfully hit its target after the ape stopped to attack the warriors blocking its path.
This process was repeated over and over again. Since the battle began, Mu Wuying managed to successfully hit the ape approximately thirty times and caused just over thirty thousand points of damage. However, it was far from enough.
So far, six hundred players were killed by the giant ape in just a matter of five minutes!
Mu Wuying was so furious that even with her good manners, she felt like cursing out loud to relieve the anger that overwhelmed her at this moment.
The beauty's anger was mainly directed towards one of her party members; Unsurpassed Defense.
The reason why Mu Wuying was angry with Unsurpassed Defense was that, at first, the giant ape did not start attacking the players; the monster was silently observing the battlefield without doing anything while sitting on the trunk of a great tree. However, Unsurpassed Defense, who was angry at being overwhelmed in reflexes, reaction speed, attitude, power, and other things by Mu Wuying, decided to prove his worth.
Ordering several archers from his guild to attack the monster, the giant ape became enraged and climbed down from the tree; immediately after slaughtering the archers who had attacked it, the boss had focused its gaze on Unsurpassed Defense as if it knew that he was to blame for the attacks it had received.
Unsurpassed Defense, confident in himself and his defense as his name suggested, advanced to fight the monster ignoring Mu Wuying and One Man Army.
In the end, the giant ape used a strange roaring skill to stun Unsurpassed Defense and after its enemy was defenseless, it slaughtered him in one or two seconds without too much trouble.
After killing Unsurpassed Defense, the giant ape began to unleash chaos and slaughtered hundreds of players without caring about anything more.
In the end, Mu Wuying had no choice but to ask for Xie Feng's help since her movement speed could not catch up with the beast's speed. This caused Mu Wuying to hate Unsurpassed Defense to the core of her heart because she had told him that if he needed her help, to call her; however, in the end, due to another man's childish behavior, she had to ask for Xie Feng's help instead.
Another minute passed and the giant ape claimed another fifty lives.
Suddenly, just as Mu Wuying began to despair not knowing what to do, the sound of a horse approaching at full speed sounded from behind her back.
She did not need to look back to know that her beloved was approaching. Her heart was crying out and beating happily for each step closer he came to her.
Mu Wuying immediately got down from her horse and closed her eyes as she began to murmur a magic enchantment.
Xie Feng dashed beside Mu Wuying and was confused to see her in such a condition, however, he temporarily ignored it and focused on the monster in front of his eyes.

Xie Feng clicked his tongue as he saw the boss's status window.
Although the beast's health points were lower than Shui Xiu's due to the difference in levels, the difference was also not too much for Xie Feng to celebrate. On the contrary, the monster in front of him had skills that could make Xie Feng fall into a passive mode for a certain period of time.
For example, Furious Whip; with this skill, the giant ape's attack speed would definitely surpass Xie Feng's attack speed, causing him to have no choice but to constantly dodge.
If Xie Feng received one or two hits from the Blood-eyed Mutated Ape and then was affected by the area of Blood Red Eyes, his life was as good as over.
At the same time, reading the description of the beast, Xie Feng cursed all the ancestors of the guilty person for causing all this unnecessary chaos.
The movement speed of Xie Feng, who was currently under Cloud Path's boost, was clearly superior to that of the giant ape. The distance between the two was closing closer and closer.
It was then that Xie Feng was surprised by an announcement in his ears.
