Chapter 68 Encounter in the Midst of Fierce Battle
Looking at his struggling and wailing underlings, he couldn't care less about feeling sorry for them at this moment; he just kept a close eye on their reactions.
He then discovered that the higher the rank of the underling, the longer they struggled. In other words, if he could rush out of the tomb in the shortest amount of time, he might have a chance to escape.
What he could think of, Xiao Bai could naturally think of as well. He immediately activated the "Snowflakes" skill towards the wall of flames.
As snowflakes danced in the air, the wall of flames was cut open by the rapidly spinning snowflakes, creating countless gaps.
Smoke is ubiquitous; even though the gaps appear only briefly, they are enough to penetrate the firewall.
Gu Qituo and Snow were almost vomiting from the strong stench of the corpse, and then they felt a burning sensation all over their bodies.
Logically speaking, it's not surprising that Gu Qituo, a mentalist, felt this kind of stimulation, but Snow, a fire-type ability user, also felt the burning sensation.
Since the day he awakened his fire-type ability, he had never felt the pain of being burned again, but at this moment, every bone in his body seemed to be burned by flames.
The two zombie kings finally understood the pain of their underlings, and two huge roars echoed throughout the entire tomb.
As expected of an SS-rank mental attacker, Gu Qituo unconsciously amplified a powerful mental attack in his roar.
Because the great formation in the tomb chamber had lost the energy supply from the tomb owner, A Jin, it could not reach the highest level of defense, and he managed to break through a corner of the formation.
As a corner of the formation was breached, the stone slab on the top of the tomb chamber, now unprotected by the formation, instantly split into two pieces.
As the pebbles and dust fell in a flurry, Gu Qituo instantly saw hope.
He disregarded everything else, grabbed Snow with one hand, and rushed towards the broken stone slab. At the same time, he unleashed his strongest attack, shattering the two stone slabs completely.
Seawater rushed in, but Gu Qituo ignored it, pulling Snow upstream and bursting out of the tomb.
All of this happened so fast that Xiaobai and Boyiyan didn't even have time to react.
"What's going on? Was the tomb owner just sitting around doing nothing? He actually let those two guys escape!" Bo Yiyan complained.
“They’ve probably been poisoned too, and their strength has likely been damaged. If we chase after them now, we might be able to forcibly keep them here,” Xiaobai said.
"Are you willing to take the risk? That red smoke might work on both of us too," Bo said.
"The risk is worth it. As long as we can kill them, this zombie horde will be over." Xiaobai said, and took the lead in rushing out of the ice fortress.
Bo Yi didn't care about anything else and rushed out after him.
Not long after they left, Feather Fan led Matt and his group to the tomb.
Before his death, A Jin not only gave her the array plate for the entire formation and explained in detail how to control it, but also told her about the thousands of zombies he had trapped in the tomb.
With the array plate in hand, she also sensed that Ah Chen's father was in that tomb chamber.
The red dot on Achen's palm remained lit, indicating that Achen's father was capable of protecting himself and had not been killed by the zombies.
Their combat strength is very low; going directly to them would only be sending them to the zombies, so she has to deal with them first.
As the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan, Yu Shan, having obtained the Dragon Blood Grass that Ah Jin had nurtured with the blood and flesh of a true dragon, used the materials Ah Jin left her to create the Cleansing Incense Pill.
After lighting the dust-cleansing incense pills, she controlled the array plate to spray the pale red smoke produced by the burning incense pills into the entire tomb chamber through the nozzles at the top of the two rows of stone pillars.
Because the formation trapped the walking corpses, they could neither escape nor avoid the erosion of the dust-cleansing incense pills' smoke, and were quickly wiped out.
In extreme pain, Gu Qituo used his mental abilities to break through a corner of the formation, which Yu Shan naturally sensed.
She then used the short-distance teleportation array within the formation to reach the tomb chamber.
Upon entering the tomb, she nearly died from the stench of the corpses. Having never experienced pregnancy symptoms before, she vomited for the first time.
Seeing this, Mina quickly used a tornado to sweep away the stench from the tomb.
The coffin in the tomb chamber had long been sunk deeper by Ajin, leaving only rotting corpses scattered all over the ground.
These corpses had long since lost their souls, and the tomb was now filled with a large amount of seawater. The feather fan manipulated the array to sink them into the seabed magma.
This seabed magma is also where A Jin has drawn energy for thousands of years; otherwise, relying solely on his own spiritual power, he would not have been able to maintain the formation's operation for five thousand years.
It took less than ten minutes to deal with all of this, but Feather Fan was already vomiting and his face was pale.
As soon as they left the tomb, Ah Chen summoned the fathead fish, which carried everyone towards the sea.
Without the barrier of the formation, Achen was able to sense his father's location using his own mental power.
Matt also used his mental network to find the adult's whereabouts immediately, and he was so excited that he almost cried.
He was so worried about being out of contact with the adults for so long.
As soon as the group was brought to the surface by the bighead carp, they were thrown back dozens of meters by a huge shockwave.
After the fathead fish finally regained its balance, everyone saw what was happening before their eyes.
On the sea, Little White unleashed countless ice blades, piercing through Snow's wall of fire.
Gu Qituo frantically used mental attacks, while Bo Yiyan, enduring a severe headache, directed Qian Si to whip him with vines as thick as his wrists.
Both sides fought desperately, while simultaneously enduring immense pain.
Xiao Bai and Bo Yiyan endured the mental attacks, while Gu Qituo and Snow endured the burning pain brought on by the purifying function of the Dragon Blood Grass.
But none of them dared to stop their attack, because once they were freed from the constraints of the tomb, their battle was a matter of life and death.
This was the first time Yu Shan had truly seen Xiao Bai. She could sense his power; at least among all the low-level martial artists present, he was the strongest.
The man in battle had a resolute and courageous expression, radiating a captivating aura. Although his facial features were not clearly visible, his outline and physique appeared to be of superior quality, as if he had stepped out of an ancient mural depicting war.
Yu Shan thought this partner seemed alright, and was barely acceptable.
Upon seeing the scene before them, Matt and Ah Chen immediately took action.
These two relatively low-level mental systems, while unable to completely counter Gu Qituo, can still cause him some interference.
With their help and the purification function of the Dragon Blood Grass, the two Corpse Kings were temporarily at a disadvantage, but it would not be possible to defeat them in a short time.
"Mina, take me there! I have a way to help Achen's father!" Yu Shan suddenly said.
“Madam, the aftershocks of the battle might injure you; it’s too dangerous!” Mina shook her head.
"Mu Ye, set up a barrier to protect Mina and me," Yu Shan instructed Mu Ye.
“Madam, you overestimate Mu Ye. How could he possibly…” Dai Yingying was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"Okay!" Mu Ye nodded.
"Hua Jingyi, Qiu Jichuan, you two attack with all your might and provide cover for us," Yu Shan instructed again.
"Yes, Madam!" the two replied in unison.
At this moment, the feather fan seemed like an imperious king, commanding everyone with an aura of supreme authority, causing everyone to subconsciously submit.
