Chapter 262: Raid dungeon (54)
When the mummy guards reached that hole and were about to stab out with their spears, they found that there was something that was flying towards them.

They immediately stopped moving forward and raised their spears to spin around in an attempt to block the things coming at them.
This was a wave of arrows that had suddenly been shot from the back of the formation.
Until now, the bows hadn't been used as much during the fight.
There were only a few arrows that came out from time to time since they had been fighting in close range. If they used the arrows, they might have harmed their allies instead of hurting the enemy.
Only now did a wave of arrows come out like this.
That was because the enemies had been gathered in a single spot for them to shoot.
It was impossible for them to miss like this.
Though they attempted to use the spears to knock down the arrows, they weren't able to get them all in the end.
So there were a few of the mummy guards that were injured by these arrows.
But that wasn't the end of it.
Since they were distracted by the arrows, the mummies with spears in the formation also came forward to stab at the mummy guards. They were too distracted by the arrows to properly block and quite a few of them were stabbed by the spears.
These mummy guards quickly backed away when they saw their comrades being stabbed like this.
The mummies in the formation wanted to chase, but Singed quickly gave a moan that stopped them.
As Singed gave this moan, it couldn't help being surprised by how well this worked.
It had thought that it was crazy to open up a hole in their formation like this, but now it understood that it acted as the perfect bait. As long as they were able to work properly, they would be able to bait them in and get them while they were all grouped.
Understanding this, Singed didn't hesitate to give the order for another hole to be made in their formation.
However, it was clear that the mummy guards were wary this time.
They had already seen what had happened last time, so they knew that they couldn't rashly charge at this hole.
But one of the mummy guards suddenly said, "Go, charge in."
The mummy guards looked at each other with confused looks, but in the end, they still went forward.
That was because the one that had spoken was one with a headdress just like the one that had led the other mummy guards by the entrance to the third floor. It was clear that this one was in charge of this group of mummy guards.
They were hesitant, but they still went at the hole that was made.
Singed revealed a disdainful look.
It didn't know what these mummy guards were planning, but since they were volunteering to charge into the formation, then it wouldn't hesitate.
Singed gave another moan and all of the mummies took their positions.
These mummies were all prepared for these mummy guards to come in.
But before the mummy guards reached them, the mummy with the headdress said, "Split up!"
The mummy guards suddenly split into two groups.
One was still charging at the formation and they were going even faster than before. The other had slowed down and was getting further away from the first group, but they were still coming at the formation.
This sudden change caught the mummies of our group off guard.
The archer mummies all turned to Singed with looks like they were asking what to do.
This gap was all that they needed to break through.
The ones that had stalled behind suddenly raised their spears and threw them at our formation. They went over the shield wall that had been spread to create this gap and landed where the archer mummies were.
Some of them hit targets, but most of them missed.
However, that was more than enough to stop the archers from firing their arrows and providing cover fire for the ones in front.
The ones that had charged forward suddenly breached the hole and started breaking down the formation from within.
In a matter of seconds, the situation had completely collapsed and the shield wall around that hole also started to break.
The mummies with spears tried their best to push back the mummy guards, but there was a fundamental difference in power between the two sides.
The mummy guards were elite monsters of the third floor while the mummies with spears were nothing more than normal monsters of the first and second floor.
They wouldn't be able to compete in the first place.
Singed saw that it was all collapsing and it quickly came back to my side to ask for help.
However, I didn't say a single thing as I watched all of this happen.
Then when the second group of mummy guards pushed into the formation…
"Boom!"
No one was able to react to this in time as an explosion suddenly rang out.
This explosion happened right where the hole had been created, wiping out the mummies of the formation and the mummy guards.
No one moved an inch as they all waited to see what happened.
When the dust settled and the flames disappeared, a large gap was revealed as many of the mummies had been killed in that explosion.
They didn't expect the explosion, so naturally they didn't have their guards up when it happened.
When these mummies were hit by the flames, they were all burned away to ashes.
Not a single mummy here understood what happened, but they also didn't get a chance to even think about it.
"Charge!"
This voice rang out from behind the mummy formation.
When they all turned in the direction of that voice, they found that there was a group of humans that were suddenly charging at them.
