Chapter 577 - Queen of Thorns?Shadow Succubus (1/2)
The battle was still ongoing in the City of Light. After getting the reward of defending the siege, many players invited their friends to fight together. The number of people in the city was growing, and more people started to act in their own way. This affected the systematic flow of the defense.
This siege was like help from the system to pull the monster towards the players. All they needed to do was to use skills and get the loot.
Thus, many players joined the defense!
Lin Jie was in charge of the East Gate, where there was the least number of normal players. The reason was very simple. Whenever someone tried to slack off, Lin Jie would let them be cannon fodder and get killed by the monsters. Thus, no one was afraid to be there.
As time passed, the second wave of monsters was cleared!
“Now, it’s the main force.” Lin Jie frowned as he looked forward. According to Qiu Yuan, the next wave would be ancient Undead creatures! Although their stats were just average, they had the knowledge of ancient skills and were very powerful.
Ding~
—’System announcement: Queen of Thorns•Shadow Succubus is leading an army of Garden Fear Devils on the way!’
“Garden Fear Devils! Holy Paladins and Warriors fall back, Druids use Oil, Ice Mages uses Ice Seal!” Lin Jie’s instruction was out in a second.
Garden Fear Devils were a mutant of Fear Devils. Its body was connected by 10 Piranha Plants. It could use Devour and instakill a player if their health points fell below a certain threshold. It had a huge body, and thus not affected by any slowing skills. It had an AOE attack and dealt 300% of damage to the city wall. Although the City of Light had a fortified wall, Garden Fear Devils could rip a hole in it in 10 minutes.
However, fire was Garden Fear Devils’ weakness. That applied to all Plant-type monsters.
However, small fires did not have any effect. Only fire with a decent scale could hurt it! Fat Cattle’s Fire Rain was a good example.
The group immediately carried out the instruction even though they did not understand the intention behind it. This was how much they trusted Lin Jie!
Oil was the basic skill of a Druid. It could create a pool of black oil on the ground and reduce Movement Speed on it by 20%. Every skill level increased the reduction by 5% until Level 16, which changed the effect to Binding instead.
Right now, this skill was useless!
Hundreds of Druids channeled the skill, and in less than three seconds, there was a lake of black oil on the ground.
“Ice Mages, Frost Nova! Freeze the oil!” Lin Jie gave new instructions. The oil froze instantly. Oil could only last for 10 seconds, but now it was frozen—it could last up to 10 minutes! That was the combined effect of different skills. Of course, when the oil caused a slowing effect, it would go back to the original timing.
After setting up the iced oil, Lin Jie led the team back within the Magic Blasting Tower’s range.
“What is Lone Wolf up to?”
“Not sure. Is he trying to trap the Garden Fear Devils with Oil?”
“I’ve seen others killing Garden Fear Devils by dragging them into a swamp. But black oil…”
Some Supreme Tribe members were not sure what Lin Jie was doing. Brotherhood, on the other hand, had absolute trust in their leader.
Kaboom— Kaboom—
The ground shook! The Garden Fear Devils advanced towards them like a giant tree. It had a gigantic green trunk as its body, and there were flowers on it. Right in the middle of the biggest flower was a huge eyeball. This was the Garden Fear Devil!

Many Garden Fear Devils rushed up to the team!
In the center of the enemy, an attractive lady sat on the shoulder of one of the Garden Fear Devils. She was Queen of Thorns•Shadow Succubus. She scanned the players from above and threw some meat pieces towards the City of Light.
Garden Fear Devils entered Enraged Mode, and their Movement Speed increased by 30%.
