1311: Chapter 1311: Use a Monster to Fight a Monster 1311: Chapter 1311: Use a Monster to Fight a Monster At this point, Gu Fan could do nothing but lean quietly against the wall, incessantly praying in his heart for those ten brave rcenaries, hoping that more of them could survive.
Soon, the roars of the three-eyed monster were heard again, indicating that it had found the trail of the ten rcenaries and was furiously pursuing them.
Even from a distance, one could feel the intense vibration of the ground.
Ti ticked away as people continued to line up to enter the narrow sewage channel, one group not yet through before another arrived.
Gu Fan began to worry.
Now the area was too crowded with people.
If discovered by the three-eyed monster, it would be tantamount to catching them all in a single net.
“We must reduce the risk!” Gu Fan hoped that more people would volunteer as bait, but unfortunately, the bravest had already left first, and those remaining were selfish and unwilling to make a sacrifice.
What should he do?
Gu Fan didn’t force anyone; it was understandable that everyone wanted to save their own lives at this ti.
But if no one was willing to act as bait, everyone might end up as the three-eyed monster’s dinner.
It was then that the artificial intelligence Xiaolan jumped out.
Seeing Gu Fan looking downcast, she couldn’t help but gloat.
“Look at your wound; it must hurt a lot.
But to have escaped from a fight with the three-eyed monster, you are still the first.”
“Thanks for the complint, I don’t deserve it,” Gu Fan said, and just then, another roar was heard, feeling closer this ti, which sent everyone into imdiate terror.
A hint of a smile crossed artificial intelligence Xiaolan’s face.
“Those ten were brave indeed, but alas, to no avail.
The scent of you all gathered here is a bit strong, the three-eyed monster’s sense of sll is still functional; it’ll find this place soon enough.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan’s expression darkened.
That ant the sacrifice of the previous ten rcenaries had been in vain.
Irina beca anxious, urging everyone to move faster, or they would be too late.
“No need, it’s definitely too late,” Gu Fan shook his head with a wry smile.
If it were that easy, Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, would have released a second monster by now.
One monster was hard enough to deal with; what if another ca?
Wait, Gu Fan looked at Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, with a puzzled face, and then asked, “If you really wanted to kill us, why release only one monster?
If you had unleashed two, our situation would only have beco more dangerous.”
“Well …” Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, seed to falter before coming up with an excuse: “If I release two monsters, it would be a massacre for you, and where’s the fun in that?”
“Perhaps there is another reason, which is that two monsters might fight each other,” Gu Fan said solemnly, looking at Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, and enunciating each word, “I rember you once ntioned that this arena was ant for the creatures to compete against each other.”
Irina imdiately understood what Gu Fan ant.
“I rember the place where the creatures are kept is not far.
I could release all the monsters in one go, but …” Irina always worried, as the risk of doing so was really great.
But Gu Fan was resolute: “What’s there to fear?
Things have already gotten this bad; how much worse could they get?
If we don’t take a gamble now, when will we?”
“Okay, I’ve got it.
I’ll take so people and go right away.” Having said that, Irina called a few from the Hunter’s Guild and set off.
This ti, Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, beca anxious.
She glared fiercely at Gu Fan and then disappeared.
The others looked at Gu Fan, knowing what he was planning to do.
They were all very worried, thinking this was too reckless.
Gu Fan paid no attention to the accusatory glances from those around him.
Hearing the roars that seed much closer, Gu Fan knew there were no other choices.
The others, feeling the danger drawing near and glancing at the slow-moving queue, steeled their hearts: “Forget it, Gu Fan, if you’re taking a gamble, we’ll gamble as well.”
Gu Fan didn’t react, but perked up his ears to listen to the noises, hoping that Irina’s actions would be swift.
If successful, everyone would escape together; if not, they would all go down together.

In just a while, Irina had run into the room containing the containers with many creatures.
She took a few deep breaths and then stepped in.
“My God, so many monsters.” Those who ca with her were also scared; it seed that the monsters sleeping in these containers were even more formidable than the three-eyed monster.
Irina walked inside the room, looking around nervously and concerned.
She was acutely aware of the severe consequences should this gamble go wrong.
Her decision was tied to the life and death of everyone.
“Using monsters to fight monsters, let’s do it, Irina.” So expressed their reckless resolve, as there was no turning back now.
Just as Irina was about to act, Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, popped out again and sternly warned, “Think it through; once the containers are broken, the monsters will all awaken, and there will be no suitable containers to put them back to sleep.”
Upon hearing this, Irina was taken aback but then laughed, “At first, I was hesitating, but your coming out to dissuade us has made resolve.
If these monsters waking up were to our disadvantage, why would you be so kind to remind us?”
“You?” The expression on Xiaolan, the artificial intelligence, darkened, as if she disliked the turn of events veering off from her calculations.
Irina aid the gun at a container and added, “Sorry about this, but this place might get a bit livelier.” With that, Irina took a shot and made a small hole in the container.
Naturally, with just a small hole, the fluid inside the container leaked out too slowly; Irina wanted to speed things up and fired several more shots in succession.
The others followed suit, creating breaches in other containers, allowing more liquid to flow out, and soon the room was flooded with the liquid.
A deep growl emitted from one of the sleeping creatures, suggesting signs of awakening, and just the sound alone sent shivers down one’s spine.
Another creature slightly moved its limbs, causing those nearby to quickly distance themselves.
In no ti, the number of creatures showing signs of awakening increased, and one even opened its eyes groggily.
“All right, our job is done, let’s go.” Irina led everyone out of there in a hurry, hardly leaving the room when deafening roars echoed from behind them.
A monster encased in iron armor, tentatively nad the Ironclad Beast, was the first to wake up.
It seed to have accumulated a great deal of strength during its slumber, roaring and using its steel body to ram through a wall to escape.
