"Beastman archers have limited arrows, and the attack just now has already used them all up. To organize that kind of attack again, it will take another day for the arrows to refresh." Zhou Tian also wanted to use the beastman archers, but as a low-level monster, how could they possibly have such a BUG attack method? Although Zhou Tian's command could make their offensive power be utilized in the best way, when they evolved, that ability's BUG had already been fixed.

Zhou Tian's explanation was not what the group of monsters wanted to hear. When they learned that the attack that had suppressed the group of undead monsters would not reappear for another day, their morale plummeted sharply at that moment. For a time, they felt even more that the undead monsters were difficult to deal with.

"This can't go on! If that group of undead monsters breaks through the defense line, the newbie area will likely fall into their hands." Seeing the performance of the group of undead monsters, Zhou Tian felt secretly anxious. If things really turned out that way, not only would Zhou Tian's previous calculations no longer be possible, but even Zhou Tian himself might fall into danger.

Feeling that he did not have the ability to clean up such a mess, seeing the performance of the group of undead monsters, Zhou Tian did not hesitate to join the battle.

The beastman archers indeed lost about 90% of their combat power within a day, but the beastman race was not just made up of beastman archers. Most of the monsters still had different classes. Although there were cases where an entire race was either all ranged or all melee, it was definitely not the mainstream.

Currently, the beastman archers were the most important unit for Zhou Tian, but this did not mean that only the beastman archers could form combat power. Under Zhou Tian's command, the other warriors of the beastman race stepped forward and immediately took over a section of the defense line from the monsters, engaging the undead monsters in battle.

At the same time, Zhou Tian himself was not idle. Reviving one and giving orders, Zhou Tian used his various abilities to help his beastman warriors better utilize their strength in the battle against the group of undead monsters.

It was unclear whether Zhou Tian had overestimated the strength of the undead monsters or if the other monsters knew they had no way out. When the battle resumed, the defense line, which was already on the verge of collapse, actually stabilized. No matter how the undead monsters attacked, they could no longer break through the defense line that Zhou Tian and his group had established.

If the battle were to continue in a stalemate, it would be absolutely advantageous for Zhou Tian and his group. After all, this place was their home field. Once both sides were in a stalemate, although the undead monsters could call for reinforcements, compared to Zhou Tian and his group, the undead monsters were at a disadvantage in every aspect.

As a result, to break the stalemate, the undead monsters, who had not made any special moves, made a significant move at that time.

"Roar!" With a roar, more than a dozen huge zombies that Zhou Tian had fought before actually walked out of the skeleton cave. When they appeared, the monsters in the newbie area were immediately affected.

At the time, Zhou Tian, as the leader of the half-beastman race, could only defeat those zombies by exploiting their weaknesses. It can be imagined how terrifying those huge zombies were to ordinary monsters. Facing such large monsters, even the bosses could remain calm, but the smaller monsters could not help but be affected.

Just as the dozen huge zombies were about to rush to the front line and break through Zhou Tian's defense, no one expected that with the puppet maker's move, the defense line that seemed impossible to hold on any longer became as solid as a rock.

Although Zhou Tian had made a significant impact before, the strongest boss in the newbie area had always been the puppet maker from the beginning. In terms of strength and ability, Zhou Tian could not compare to the puppet maker. The reason Zhou Tian's performance was so outstanding before was that his abilities were the most suitable for that situation.

Since Zhou Tian had already made a significant impact, as the true No. 1 in the newbie area, the puppet maker naturally had to do something.

The previous situation was more suitable for Zhou Tian to perform, but with the appearance of the huge zombies, the current situation was more conducive to the puppet maker's abilities.

The puppet maker's abilities would not stand out in large-scale battles. However, if the target was an individual or a small team, her abilities were quite terrifying.

Clearly, although the dozen huge zombies had considerable strength and destructive power, once they were targeted by the puppet maker, their fate was already sealed.

Almost as soon as the huge zombies reached the front line, their bodies froze in place. Then, as the puppet maker's fingers danced, the huge zombies went mad and began attacking their own companions around them.

Even within the same faction, the huge zombies, regardless of how obvious their weaknesses were, had top-notch destructive power. Without any preparation, the undead monsters had no way to defend against the mad huge zombies. Even with preparation, no one could guarantee they could safely block them.

Thus, under the control of the puppet maker, the huge zombies unleashed their destructive power, acting like human meat grinders, causing significant casualties in the ranks of the undead monsters.

Since the controlled targets were enemies, the puppet maker naturally did not care much about the condition of the huge zombies. Using their combat power, the puppet maker directly used them as the tip of the spear, launching a counterattack against the group of undead monsters.

With the huge zombies leading the charge, followed closely by Zhou Tian and the other bosses, they easily tore through the ranks of the undead monsters.

In a short time, the original attackers and defenders completely switched roles. Under the strong performance of the puppet maker, with the loss of only a few huge zombies, Zhou Tian and his group's counterattack reclaimed most of the territory that had been occupied by the undead monsters.

When the situation turned out that way, the tide had completely turned. If nothing unexpected happened, as long as the puppet maker continued to control the huge zombies to attack, Zhou Tian and his group would have no problem reclaiming the lost territory.

However, things were naturally not that simple.

Just as Zhou Tian and his group were about to drive the undead monsters back, a dozen lightning bolts shot out from the direction of the skeleton cave, and the battle situation quickly changed again.
