The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

Chapter 58: The Threat of the Rock-Piercing Beast



To protect the shelter behind him, he, like all other players, had no way out!

One step back meant death!

In the brutal apocalypse, only those with firm will and fearless bravery had the right to survive, and of course, strength was an indispensable part.

"Little black! And you guys…" Irving glanced at the group of exotic beasts beside him, in addition to Little Black, there were five Stone Golem Giants and fifteen Snow Shadow Wolves, his cold voice echoed again, "Fight alongside me!"

The loyalty of exotic beasts to their master far exceeded any player. Once they chose to submit, even if they knew it would mean death, they would not back down.

Roar! The Stone Golem Giants roared, continuously beating their massive fists against their chests. The blood running through their veins hailed from the ancient battlefield, their formidable defense and strength extremely suited for charging into battle.

At Irving\'s command, these five Stone Golem Giants took the lead with heavy strides.

Behind them, the Snow Shadow Wolves also joined the battle under the lead of the alpha wolf…

Although this newly formed exotic beast army was small, it was enough to buy Irving a lot of precious time!

"Gravity Swamp!"

The staff in Irving\'s hand emitted a dazzling light, and a visible shockwave rippled through the air. The charging beast horde suddenly slowed down.

At this moment, Vicky, standing atop the arrow tower, was continuously emanating green specks of light. These tiny glowing particles, like fleeting fireflies, swiftly merged into Irving\'s body.

"Mental Chaos!" Vicky was not idle, casting a mental debuff skill, she simultaneously controlled the arrow tower.

Countless arrows covered the sky like a rain, falling towards the beast horde, and a dozen fireballs as heavy as artillery shells were also thrown at them.

For a moment, the roar was deafening!

The attacking exotic beasts were numerous, but most of them were of low to intermediate level, and a small number had reached the lower intermediate level.

With the[Evil Source Wand], Irving could clearly see the basic information of these attacking exotic beasts.

[Frost Bear]

[Race: Bear Clan]

[Level: High-order Low-level.]

[Lives atop the snowy mountains, a cold-resistant exotic beast. Their thick fur can withstand extreme cold, and they possess great strength and endurance. They utilize the ice and snow as their battleground, delivering ruthless blows to their enemies.]

...

[Swiftwind Leopard]

[Race: Unknown]

[Level: Mid-level, low-rank.]

[A nimble exotic beast that roams the prairies. Renowned for their speed, capable of pouncing on their prey in an instant, their sharp claws and teeth serve as their lethal weapons.] …

[Lightning Mink]

[Race: Mink Clan]

[Level: Mid-level, low-rank.]

[A swift exotic beast that weaves through the forest. Capable of releasing weak electric currents for attacks, its agility allows it to easily evade enemy attacks.]

Looking at the information of these exotic beasts, Irving\'s brows gradually furrowed.

Since the catastrophe, more and more never-before-seen exotic beasts had appeared, and their strength was growing stronger.

"This beast wave is similar in numbers to the last one, but their strength has increased significantly. And the dark, freezing weather…" Irving shook his head.

Compared to the first disaster, this time there will be more players suffering from backlash and dying. However, the game quota for The Other World was opening in batches.

For new players who entered within the specified time, they would receive a certain degree of protection, which was still fair...

Looking at the situation at hand, although the Stone Golem Giants and Snow Shadow Wolves commanded by Irving were at a numerical disadvantage, with the strong support of the Arrow Tower and Fireball, along with skills such as[Mental Chaos]and[Gravity Swamp], they hadn\'t collapsed.

Especially Little Black!

As a Hellhound, the purple flames on its body would ignite any nearby exotic beasts upon contact, causing an unending blaze. A small sea of fire had already erupted within the beast horde, and its scale continued to expand.

The situation fell into a stalemate for the moment.

Just then, the thing that worried Irving the most happened. The spotlights hanging around the shelter\'s stone house began to flicker, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.

"Damn it, something\'s wrong with the turbine generator." Irving\'s face changed drastically.

Once the four spotlights went out, the shelter would be enveloped in darkness, and the situation would change like a collapsing scale...

"We must hold on here!" Irving shouted at Vicky on the Arrow Tower, "You must cast[Healing Art]on Little Black and the others immediately. No matter what happens, we can\'t let the beast wave break through."

"Understood." Vicky nodded, her forehead already covered in sweat beads the size of beans, her face starting to go pale.

Her mental strength was declining rapidly. Watching Irving\'s retreating figure, she could only silently pray for his quick return.

On the other hand.

Sophia, who had returned to the eight turbine generators, was like a cat on a hot tin roof, seeing the beast wave breaking through the front wall and a large group of exotic beasts pouring in.

She wanted to rush over to help, but she knew the importance of these generators and could only stay in place and panic.

Just then, the eight Stone Golem Giants pulling the chains for power generation, as if sensing something, suddenly roared. Their eyes were fixed in one direction.

The shelter was surrounded by walls on all sides, the front wall had just collapsed, but the other three sides were still intact.

Just as Sophia was puzzled, a group of exotic beasts resembling oversized rats suddenly appeared from the corner of the wall and began to charge wildly in their direction.

"Where... where did they come from?"

Sophia felt a surge of horror, quickly firing off sharp icicles towards the attacking exotic beasts. However, these creatures, resembling oversized rats, merely curled up slightly, easily blocking the sharp icicles with their bodies.

By the time Sophia recovered her wits, the exotic beasts had vanished once again, leaving only freshly dug holes in the ground.

In the next moment, she felt the ground beneath her feet trembling slightly, as if something was rapidly approaching from below… Before she could comprehend what was happening, a stern voice rang out behind her.

"Move away!" Irving had arrived.

From a distance, he had spotted the rat-like exotic beasts. With a slight tremble of his [Disaster Wand], the basic information of these exotic beasts immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Rock-Piercing Beasts]

[Race: Unknown]

[Rank: Mid-level, low-rank]

[Description: Resembling pangolins, they possess an even harder shell and a strong digging ability. Their scales are dense and hard, capable of swiftly traversing through mountains, unimpeded by any obstruction...]

Heeding Irving\'s warning, Sophia instinctively retreated.

The moment she stepped back, the spot where she had been standing earlier was suddenly pierced from below, and the Rock-Piercing Beasts leaped out. Their surprise attack had failed, and they roared in anger.

Sophia looked at the dense, fine teeth in the mouths of the Rock-Piercing Beasts, and she felt chills down her spine.

She looked at Irving, "Thank you, otherwise…"

"Enough, now is not the time for this." Irving\'s gaze was fixed on the group of Rock-Piercing Beasts in front of him, his brows tightly knitted. He cast a[Fireball]at the group of Rock-Piercing Beasts.

The huge fireball, capable of severely injuring exotic beasts of the same level, came crashing down, but the Rock-Piercing Beasts curled up once again.

Their hard scales resisted the onslaught of the Fireball. By the time the smoke from the fireball explosion cleared, these Rock-Piercing Beasts were unharmed!

"This!" Seeing this scene, Sophia was shocked, her face becoming even paler.

Even Irving shook his head, "These exotic beasts are called Rock-Piercing Beasts. Although they are small, their defense is extremely astonishing, far more difficult to deal with than other exotic beasts of the same rank."

The next moment, the group of Rock-Piercing Beasts burrowed into the ground again. This time, it was clear to see the soil rising slightly. But this time they changed their attack direction, heading straight for the eight turbine generators.

"Damn it, they\'re going to directly destroy the generators." Irving exclaimed. "Stop them quickly. If the shelter loses power, the exotic beasts at the front will reduce this place to ruins!"

However, when facing these Rock-Piercing Beasts with their hard scales, Sophia felt helpless. No matter what kind of attack she used, it would be blocked by their bodies.

The eight Stone Golem Giants, who were strenuously pulling the chains, sensed the approaching danger. Their roars became louder and louder. However, after just a brief pause, the four searchlights began to flicker again!
