Soon, the fourth wave of beasts began. According to the pattern of the first three waves, this time they would face wild boars.
Soon, everyone felt a slight tremor, and then the wild boar pack appeared before them.
Although the number of wild boars was lower than in the previous three waves, and their speed was also much slower, when this large group of wild boars slowly approached them, many people swallowed nervously.
Just like before, when the wild boars were about to get close, people launched an attack first, continuously using Wind Blade to attack the red fur areas of the wild boars.
However, this attack did not achieve the expected effect; only a minority managed to hit the red fur.
Most of the wild boars, upon approaching the chevaux de frise, simultaneously launched Savage Charge and rushed towards them.
And the wild boars easily broke through their first line of defense.
Without the obstruction of the chevaux de frise, everyone engaged in close combat with the wild boars.
First, the people standing at the very front, holding shields, immediately also launched Savage Charge, directly meeting the wild boars head-on.
After the collision, the wild boars all entered a one-second stun state, and at this moment, the people standing behind immediately seized the opportunity, fiercely stabbing their short swords into the wild boars' vital points. As the wild boars thrashed around after being attacked in their vital points, people immediately reorganized their formation.
In this way, the first line of defense was difficultly stabilized, but the wild boars still slowly pressed towards the school, and casualties began to appear. By the time the second chevaux de frise defense line was destroyed, the death toll had already increased to 12 people.
From this moment on, people's tactics also changed. Now, a phalanx composed of students and Teacher Chen appeared before the wild boars.
The Teacher Chen and students launched Savage Charge against the wild boars, one row after another, and the wild boar pack's advance was forcibly stalled by this savage method. When one group's skills were exhausted, another group took over.
This head-on method could only be used against inflexible beasts like wild boars, but the effect was also very significant.
Although this did not cause fatal damage to the wild boars, they were completely stopped. In this way, the fourth wave of beasts was forcibly dragged until its end. After dealing with the remaining wild boars on the field, everyone began to clean up the battlefield and recover their status.
"Do you think the beast wave will end in the fifth round?" Teacher Chen said to Liang Mushui, who was sitting next to him.
"I also hope it ends like this, but my gut feeling tells me it's not that simple," Mu Shui said slowly.
After hearing Mu Shui's words, Teacher Chen's brow furrowed. After all, based on past experience, Mu Shui's gut feeling had never been wrong.
However, come what may, Teacher Chen believed that as long as everyone united, they would definitely be able to overcome this hurdle.
Then Teacher Chen chatted with Mu Shui for a while until the fifth wave of beasts was about to begin, and then they each returned to their teams to prepare for battle.
In the fifth wave of beasts, Mu Shui and his companions faced Black Bear. Although their numbers were further reduced compared to the wild boars, seeing those tall Black Bear slowly emerge from the forest, the sense of oppression was much greater than that of the wild boars. After all, each palm strike from a Black Bear had power no less than a Savage Charge.
On the other side, the Teacher Chen and students dispersed according to their usual monster-hunting teams, preparing to find their respective Black Bear to fight.
However, before that, they did not forget to throw stimulating scents at the Black Bear. This action brought them two results: first, the Black Bear indeed did not use the headache-inducing skill Roar of Fury. Second, this time, under the stimulation of the scent, the Black Bear did not bury their heads in the ground; instead, they were enraged, their eyes turned red, and they entered a berserk state, accelerating their charge towards everyone.
Soon, the battle officially began. Even after leveling up to ten, most people would lose almost half their health if hit by a bear's paw, so most people basically fought the Black Bear with their Phantom state activated. Often, after killing one bear, their mana bar would be depleted, and they would have to immediately return to school to recover their status.
Only Mu Shui, Teacher Chen, and a few other top teams could fight the Black Bear evenly without activating skills, but these teams were too few, so the battle line continuously moved towards the school.
Finally, the Black Bear pressed to the last line of defense. When a Black Bear slapped the iron gate, the iron gates shattered like tofu.
In front of the Black Bear, everyone did not place all their hopes on these iron gates, but they never expected that these iron gates would not even serve as a momentary obstruction.
Soon, the first Black Bear arrived in front of the school gate. The Black Bear fiercely slapped the invisible barrier in front of the school gate, and the health bar on the school gate decreased slightly, by about one-thousandth.
At this point, the Black Bear was finally eliminated by the people inside the school using the Wind Blade skill. Those who remained in the school were mostly girls who dared not fight and whose levels were forcibly raised by others. They all only learned the Wind Blade skill and would immediately focus their attacks whenever a beast approached the school gate.
Thus, the battle reached the 14th minute. At this moment, everyone was going all out, no longer calculating mana usage, and began to attack frantically. Finally, when the last Black Bear fell, the fifth wave of beasts officially ended.
According to statistics, the death toll in this wave of beasts reached a staggering 103 people, and the school gate's health bar was only about 90% left. But what was most surprising was that the light screen still remained in a countdown-to-zero state, seemingly brewing the next countdown.
"The Black Bear are all defeated, and it's not over yet. What else do we have to fight next?"
"So many people have died, and it's still not over. Can we even survive this?"
"Can anyone tell me how this ends?"
The students next to the Revival Spring all began to complain when they saw this.
The Teacher Chen, however, seemed to have anticipated this outcome and did not react much. Instead, he began to soothe the students' emotions.
Mu Shui was also by the Revival Spring at this moment. He looked at the light screen, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart, but in this situation, even with a divine artifact in hand, he could not change anything. All he could do was recover his status as quickly as possible and then throw himself into battle.
Soon, the sixth wave of beasts was also about to begin, and the defense line outside the school gate was reorganized. The school had many iron gates, so the iron wall was easily reassembled, but not too many chevaux de frise were reserved before, so now only one more line of defense could be formed.
At this moment, the people on the front line all had only one wish: to hope this was the last wave of beasts.
Before long, the figures of beasts began to appear in the forest. Unlike before, this time the beast wave was not singular; all the beasts that had appeared in the first five waves were now present simultaneously. However, Wild Dogs, wild cat, and wolves were the most numerous, while Black Bear were much fewer than in the fifth wave.
Mu Shui noticed from afar that the state of these beasts was different from before; they looked much fiercer, and their eyes were completely bloodshot and red.
"Everyone, pay attention. These beasts should all be in a berserk state. Don't let your guard down even against Wild Dogs and wild cat," Mu Shui immediately reminded them.
Soon, the sixth wave of beasts arrived in front of Mu Shui and his companions, ready to fight.
And on the school side, the people by the Revival Spring stared blankly at the light screen. At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with despair. Because what was displayed on the light screen at this time was:
Last Round: ∞
Everyone present recognized this symbol and understood its meaning. But if it was truly as they understood, then this beast wave was destined for their failure.
The first to react was Teacher Chen. He immediately arranged for the people around him to call Mu Shui back no matter what.
Then he loudly said, "Don't worry, everyone. We definitely have a way to overcome this difficulty."
He knew very well that the most important thing now was to calm the people. Soon, someone would return to recover their status, and this news would spread to everyone sooner or later, which could cause a devastating blow to everyone. Now he had to find a solution as quickly as possible, and his only hope at the moment was Mu Shui.
Soon, Mu Shui was brought back in a hurry, and when he saw the information displayed on the light screen, he couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Holy crap, it's endless mode. This is basically not giving anyone a way to live."
"Student Mu Shui, what do you think we should do now?" Teacher Chen said to Mu Shui with a hopeful expression.
Facing Teacher Chen's hopeful gaze, Mu Shui also felt very helpless. At this moment, he didn't know what to do either; his heart was in a mess.
He knew very well that in this current mode, they absolutely could not withstand the beast wave, and failure was only a matter of time.
Just as he was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do, a place suddenly came to mind: Baolin Temple.
At first, Mu Shui speculated that the appearance of Baolin Temple might be related to his divine artifact and had nothing to do with the beast wave. But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the appearance of this endless mode for the beast wave was also very abnormal; it was simply not giving anyone a way to live.
Slowly, a conjecture appeared in his mind: the anomaly of this beast wave might be caused by him obtaining the divine artifact. If that were truly the case, then the solution was very likely at Baolin Temple.
Teacher Chen had been nervously watching Mu Shui, and as Mu Shui's expression slowly changed from initial distress to calm, and then to his eyes gradually becoming firm, he knew there might be a turning point.
"Do you have an idea? If you need anything from us, just say so," Teacher Chen asked eagerly.
"I do have an idea, and I also need your help," Mu Shui took a deep breath and said to Teacher Chen.
Then Mu Shui concealed the matter of him obtaining the divine artifact and directly told Teacher Chen that the solution might be at Baolin Temple.
"When we explored Baolin Temple last time, we felt a sense of danger. We don't know what we'll encounter this time, so I need to add some manpower, and I also need you to help us break through."
Teacher Chen could be said to have blind trust in Mu Shui at this moment. Without a word, he immediately found 10 basketball team members and 5 sports recruits, and formed a breakthrough team.
