Since the system became my girlfriend

Faced with the trolls surging like a tidal wave, everyone looked to Su Rui, because only he could deal with so many enemies.

"Uh... don't look at me, I can't handle it either..." Su Rui shrugged.

Although Su Rui's prism force field had cooled down by now, it wasn't a magic bullet.

Previously, when there were only fifty or sixty small monsters, these small monsters surrounded Su Rui, but there were only three or four exceptions. Although they were separated by several layers of small monsters, they could still attack Su Rui because of the attack judgment. So when Su Rui activated the Prism Force Field, they were all killed by the reflected damage.

But now there are more than 500 monsters. Even if they surround Su Rui, it would still be dozens of layers deep. Even if the monsters behind them are affected by the attack detection, they would not be able to reach Su Rui anymore.

Once the small monsters can't reach Su Rui, they won't attack. If they don't attack, they won't be damaged by the reflected damage. Although the reflected damage from the small monsters in front will have a refraction effect, it won't affect the outermost layers.

Although Su Rui could kill two or three hundred small monsters after activating the Prism Field, the outermost layers would definitely be fine. However, Su Rui's Prism Field only lasted for three seconds. After three seconds, the small monsters in the inner circle were all dead, but after the small monsters in the outer circle filled in, Su Rui had no more spells to cast.

Although there was an invincible effect from the Absolute Domain, it wasn't enough. In just a few seconds, Su Rui and his teammates couldn't possibly kill hundreds of monsters.

After both invincibility spells ended, the remaining one or two hundred monsters would only take two or three seconds to kill Su Rui. Even if Feng Lixi frantically healed him from the side, she couldn't save him!

So even with two invincible skills protecting him, Su Rui couldn't handle so many monsters.

"What the heck! Big brother, if you can't handle this, what are we supposed to do?" The bald little girl was dumbfounded.

"Didn't we say we could jump to the bugged location? If it doesn't work, the mission fails, and we can start over!" Su Rui said.

"Alright!" Hu Bowei and the others had no better ideas. It was better to fail the mission than to all die here!

Just as everyone was preparing to jump to the bug point and reset the mission, Feng Lixi suddenly pointed in the direction of Xuanwu City and shouted, "Look over there!"

Following Feng Lixi's finger, everyone looked and saw a black dot flying in from the distant horizon!

As the black dot gradually enlarged, Su Rui and the others realized that it was actually a hot air balloon!

Soon, the hot air balloon reached the top of the platform and then slowly descended.

"Come on up!" There were two people in the basket of the hot air balloon, one dressed in the uniform of a Xuanwu City officer, and the other a dwarf, who was clearly the one operating the hot air balloon.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" As soon as Sergeant Brian saw the hot air balloon arrive, he immediately called the NPCs around him to get on the hot air balloon.

"Let's go up too!" Su Rui called to everyone, and at that moment, the bald little girl had already jumped onto the hanging basket.

Then the musty-smelling fairy and Hu Bowei also went up, but at this time a problem arose: the hanging basket was full and no more people could go up.

"Hey! Baldy, get down here!" Hu Bowei said to the bald little girl.

"Why?" the bald little girl asked, dissatisfied.

“With your size, you take up the space of two people. If you go down, they can come up. How can you have the nerve to run away and leave the commander and his wife behind?” Hu Bowei said.

"Don't give me that, why don't you go down?" The bald little girl rolled her eyes at Hu Bowei. The trolls had already reached the upper middle section of the platform, which was past the bug point. Now, the only way to jump to the bug point was to go through the troll horde, but that was obviously impossible!

So staying is tantamount to death!

“Nonsense, what good would it do if I went down? If I went down, only one of them could come up, but if you went down, both of them could come up!” Hu Bowei said.

"I'm not going down!" the bald little girl said. Although Su Rui was the leader of the mercenary group, he hadn't yet enjoyed the benefits of a high-level mercenary group. Now, he was being asked to pay the price of about 15,000 experience points for the sake of being the leader. He wouldn't do that. He would have to grind for a long time to earn those 15,000 experience points!

"You!" Hu Bo was helpless and was about to jump out, but it was too late. The NPC controlling the hot air balloon wouldn't wait any longer. The trolls had already climbed onto the platform. If the hot air balloon didn't take off soon, none of them would be able to leave.

"That's disloyal!" Su Rui muttered as he watched the hot air balloon disappear into the distance. He then shielded Feng Lixi behind him. Although he had no chance of defeating so many trolls, he could protect Feng Lixi for as long as he could.

Looking at Su Rui, who was shielding her behind her, Feng Lixi felt a strange emotion welling up inside her. This emotion made her nose feel a little sore, but she also felt very happy.

"Xiao Xi, don't be afraid, I will protect you!" After saying that, Su Rui prepared to rush into the monster horde and pull the monsters away. Although he could not possibly be a match for so many trolls, if these trolls wanted to harm Feng Lixi, they would have to step over his corpse first!

But just as Su Rui activated the accessory and prepared to charge, the trolls that had already reached the high platform vanished...

"What the heck! What's going on?" Su Rui was stunned, completely bewildered.

"The story is over..." Feng Lixi shrugged and said. It really wasn't her control. The story ended here. Although Su Rui and Feng Lixi missed the hot air balloon return to the city, they just missed seeing the scenery.

After the story ended, the more than 500 trolls naturally disappeared. It's impossible for players to fight so many monsters in a quest of this level. After all, players don't even have any area-of-effect damage skills right now. The previous 100-man kill was already extremely difficult. If they were to fight another 500 monsters, the quest would be impossible to complete.

The mission was over, so Su Rui and Feng Lixi naturally didn't need to stay in this desolate desert any longer. They both chanted the spell to return to the city.

"Boss Su, are you alright?" After Su Rui and Feng Lixi returned to Xuanwu City, he received a voice message from Hu Bowei.

"It's alright, the mission is complete. Those monsters rushed onto the platform just to create some atmosphere for the NPCs' evacuation. They disappeared after the hot air balloon flew away," Su Rui said with a smile.

"Brother, I wanted to jump down and stay with you..." Hu Bowei wanted to explain that he really didn't want to abandon Su Rui, but he was taken away before he could jump down.

"Alright, we brothers don't need to explain," Su Rui said with a smile. He and Hu Bo had known each other for a long time, and there was no need for them to misunderstand each other over such a small matter.

"That bald guy is so unfair, why don't we just kick him out!" Hu Bowei was still holding a grudge against the bald little girl, feeling that he was too disloyal.
