Mighty Lord

77: Chapter 77: Wrapping Up 77: Chapter 77: Wrapping Up No one faulted Zhou Tian.

It wasn’t that Zhou Tian was unsuitable for close combat, the main reason he was asked to go to the frontline was because several bosses had fallen and his resurrection skills hadn’t cooled down yet, leaving him with no option but to plug the gap.

Now that he had resurrected a boss and others were already dealing with it, Zhou Tian’s retreat to the rear was a perfectly normal response.

Then, just like the mysterious undead boss, Zhou Tian also boosted the combat power of their other bosses by switching his weapon.

Even though Zhou Tian’s enhancement ability seemed not as strong as that of the hidden undead boss, with his help and in the context of their powerful strength, those bosses were less pressured while dealing with the attacks of small monsters.

As a result, their defense line, which was previously shaky, was once again stabilized.

Participate in combat…resurrect…participate in combat…

Zhou Tian either fought whenever a boss was defeated or resurrected a fallen boss when his resurrection skills cooled down and then retreated to the back.

Essentially, he kept repeating these two tasks.

Under such tremendous pressure, Zhou Tian lost track of how long he persevered.

But then, while Zhou Tian was about to replace a position of a fallen boss for seemingly the umpteenth time, someone suddenly stopped him.

“You can rest now, all the undead outside have been wiped out.

I’ll handle this!”
At these words, Zhou Tian felt his legs buckle and he then sat down directly on the ground.

Looking back, Zhou Tian realized that, unbeknownst to him, the fight outside the Skeleton Cave had already ended.

Thanks to the combined attacks of the puppet makers and their minions, even though the undead monsters were not weak, without reinforcements and constantly being drained, they inevitably met the fate of annihilation.

The one who stopped Zhou Tian was the puppet maker who had just finished the battle.

Seeing her in action, Zhou Tian had no reason not to feel reassured.

Due to the presence of the Undead Boss, the group of undead monsters was extremely tough.

But no matter how tough these small monsters were, Zhou Tian didn’t believe they could withstand the Puppet Maker’s attack.

With the Puppet Maker’s previous performance, ten gold puppets blocking the passage could stop any number of incoming undead monsters, probably rendering them nothing more than cannon fodder.

Indeed, it turned out just like that.

After the Puppet Maker took action, the group of undead monsters, who previously suppressed Zhou Tian and his companions, was soon chopped into pieces by the constant slashing of the ten Gold Puppets.

As the Puppet Maker controlled the Gold Puppets to advance continuously, the only thing the undead monsters could do was retreat relentlessly.

Piling in forcefully, the Puppet Maker used her strong power to drive the undead monsters back to the second layer of the Skeleton Cave.

It wasn’t until then that she suddenly turned to Zhou Tian and his allies who had followed her all the way and instructed, “Quickly guard the passage.”
“What for?” Even though Zhou Tian and the others did not understand why the Puppet Maker would issue such instructions when they clearly had the upper hand, they responded promptly.

As soon as they heard the command, they immediately replaced the Gold Puppets at the front.

At first, they did not understand why the Puppet Maker made such arrangements, But soon, Zhou Tian and the others understood the intention behind her actions.

Because, as soon as they replaced the positions of the Gold Puppets, those ten Gold Puppets, previously controlled by the Puppet Maker, suddenly shattered into pieces of gold on the ground.

“How is that possible?” Seeing the ten previously powerful Gold Puppets, who had almost driven the group of Undead Monsters into a desperate situation, suddenly shatter without taking any damage, Zhou Tian was naturally extremely surprised.

However, Zhou Tian quickly calmed down, as he had a rough idea of what was happening.

“I wondered why she didn’t use such a powerful ability, but instead chose to use her abilities in that way.

So, controlling puppets has this disadvantage!”
Though he had many thoughts, Zhou Tian didn’t dare to voice any of them.

Just by looking at the puppeteer’s expression, Zhou Tian knew that making contact with her at this time would not result in anything good.

Seeing how much she cherished the puppets she made, destroying ten Gold Puppets due to unavoidable circumstances would undoubtedly make her blame herself, even if no one else blamed her.

If he approached her now, it would likely only serve as an outlet for her anger and lead to nothing else.

Unconsciously, after fighting in place of the Gold Puppets for nearly five minutes, the smaller monsters under Zhou Tian’s command finally arrived at the Skeleton Cave.

Then, after ordering the lesser monsters to take their places, they finally managed to make a clean getaway.

Just as Zhou Tian managed to extricate himself, he immediately felt a chill, and upon turning around, he saw the puppeteer looking at him with an incredibly dangerous expression.

From the puppeteer’s gaze, Zhou Tian knew he was in trouble.

Although some of his plans were not known to outsiders, it was a fact that the Skeleton Cave had been lost under his watch.

And given this fact, it was entirely plausible that the puppeteer and other Bosses would pin the blame for this incident on him.

With that, Zhou Tian’s problems would only grow bigger.

While inwardly cursing his misfortune, Zhou Tian put on a neutral face and took the initiative to ask, “What should we do now, everyone?

Although we’ve driven those Undead Monsters to the second layer of the Skeleton Cave, I believe we’ve all seen their performance.

Given the strength of those Undead Monsters, if we don’t find a proper solution, they might break out of the cordon soon.”
True enough, Zhou Tian’s words worked.

Even though he didn’t know exactly what the puppeteer was thinking, all the Bosses immediately shifted their attention to the topic he brought up after he voiced his concerns.

The puppeteer might vent her anger on Zhou Tian without knowing his plan.

However, dealing with the impending problem was obviously more important.

The puppeteer, like everyone else, had taken note of the performance of the Undead Monsters.

Their success in driving the enemy back this time contained good luck.

If those Undead Monsters were to break out again, even the puppeteer couldn’t guarantee they could drive them back as they did before.

For a while, all the Bosses, including the puppeteer, thought hard about how to solve the problem.

However, as Zhou Tian had previously highlighted, fully resolving the problem of the Undead Monsters with their limited resources was practically impossible.

Thus, after half a day of discussion among the Bosses, they failed to come up with a feasible solution.

Seeing that they couldn’t isolate the Undead Monsters in the second layer of the Skeleton Cave, Zhou Tian and the others started arguing about another issue.

If they couldn’t seal off the Undead Monsters in the second layer of the Skeleton Cave, then to prevent these Undead Monsters from threatening their safety again, the best they could do was to block them at the current passage as much as possible.

However, given the strength of these Undead Monsters, anyone who took on this task would undoubtedly suffer staggering losses, which naturally, none of the Bosses was willing to stomach.
