That's what they say, but Wang Yao knew in his heart that all the Ghost Warriors and Geniuses on the Zero Floor were currently pinned down at other blockade points, and it was hard to say whether they would have any spares to reinforce this place.
After all, the number of high-level management ghosts such as Ghost Warriors and Ghost Geniuses on the entire Zero Floor is extremely small. They are more than capable of managing a group of ordinary ghosts on the floor normally, but they are struggling to deal with external threats.
The two rushed to the second line of defense in the underworld production area. The scene before them startled Wang Yao, who had just regained his footing. One by one, the ghosts rushed out of the defense line. When they saw the corpse puppet, they did not dodge or avoid it. Instead, they roared, jumped up and hugged the corpse puppet, and ran away desperately into the distance.
These ghosts carrying the corpse puppets often don't run far before collapsing to the ground, but soon other ghosts will come to their aid, carrying the corpse puppets further away from the defensive line.
This is using ghost lives to block the corpse puppets and prevent them from getting close to the defense line. The floor of the corridor in front of the defense line is densely covered with ghosts suffering from the corpse aura disease. Wang Yao jumped over and quickly rescued them.
These ghosts are clearly still in a mild state of corpse aura syndrome; they haven't been infected by the corpse aura for long, and there is still hope of saving them.
"Lord Yue Lao! Lord Yue Lao! Please hurry up and add protective shields for us. Let's put those suffering from corpse qi on hold for now!" A middle-aged ghost in a smart Western suit called out from behind the defensive line.
Wang Yao turned his head and looked around, wondering what kind of ghost it was. In his mind, the most important thing right now was to save the ghost in front of him. After all, if he didn't help the mild ones, he would be helpless if they progressed to the moderate ones, and these ghosts would only have one way out: death.
"Lord Yue Lao, this is the Dao Master of the Yin-Yang Dao," Wu Ying reminded Wang Yao from the side. Wang Yao nodded and continued to tap the ghosts at his feet with the Awakening Token. Basically, every two or three taps, a ghost would get up, and Wang Yao would then put a protective shield on it, which was quite quick.
"Lord Yue Lao, I am a ghost general here, along with several ghost talents. With the protective shield you provide, we can intercept the corpse puppets and reclaim the first line of defense. Otherwise, how can you possibly manage all six interception points in this area? You can't possibly control everyone affected by the corpse energy!"
The leader of the Yin-Yang Dao called out urgently from behind the blockade.
"This is the result of discussions between me and the Lord of the Yellow Springs Dao. Please add a protective shield for me and add one for him. He is at a checkpoint nearby. With us leading the way, it shouldn't be difficult to take back the first line of defense."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yao realized that what the Yin-Yang Dao Master said was indeed a solution; otherwise, with twelve blockades, he truly wouldn't be able to escape.
Moreover, if the stairwell blocking point is lost, the wind passage blocking point in the underworld production area will also be in danger. If a second line of defense is to be established there, a wind passage will have many more branch passages, and the result will be even more disastrous.
"Lord Yue Lao, what the Dao Lord said is indeed reasonable. In this critical situation, we have no choice but to act expediently." Knowing that Wang Yao was soft-hearted and couldn't let go of these ghosts who could still be saved, Wu Ying gently advised him from the side.
"I know, let's go faster." Wang Yao nodded, jumped up, and kept throwing out the protective shield. He only regretted that he was too slow in calling it out. In an instant, black smoke rose from inside the defensive line.
"We're ready here! Please, Lord Yue Lao, quickly add a protective shield to the Lord of the Yellow Springs Path! Minions, those with shields, follow me and fight back!" The Lord of the Yin-Yang Path shouted, leaping out of the defensive line and rushing forward.
Meanwhile, Wang Yao and Wu Ying rushed to the next blockade point, joining the Lord of Huangquan Dao in charging towards the first line of defense. As they attacked, he discovered why the blockade point in the Netherworld Zone had been lost. The enemy had suddenly changed their main attack direction, sending dozens of corpse puppets to attack the Netherworld Zone in one go.
Even in the Underworld Residence area, which Wang Yao had always considered the main target, the enemy only deployed a maximum of ten or so corpse puppets at a time. In areas like the Underworld Production Area and the Underworld Affairs Area, a wave of attacks usually only involved two or three corpse puppets. When the number of attacking corpse puppets suddenly increased, the guarding ghosts naturally could not withstand it.
You should know that even a genius would be forced to his knees if attacked from both sides by two or three corpse puppets. It seems that this pair of adversaries are well-versed in the tactics of feinting and changing the intensity of their attacks.
Fortunately, Wang Yao did not stay at the second defense line to treat the ghosts afflicted with the corpse aura; otherwise, even the two Dao Lords might have been taken down by these corpse puppets.
As Wang Yao placed shields on the Minions one by one, dozens of chimneys billowing black smoke appeared in the corridor between the two lines of defense in the Underworld Production Area. After this round of frenzied attacks, the Corpse Puppet's offensive finally slowed down.
Seeing that the situation was gradually stabilizing, Wang Yao didn't have time to adjust the formation. He was only thinking about quickly turning back to treat those who had been infected with mild corpse aura. However, before he could even lift his foot to head back, the phone at the blockade rang again as if summoning a ghost.
"Lord Yue Lao, come quickly! There are too many corpse puppets, and the Holy Monk can't defend against them!" Huang Sheng's anxious voice came from the Underworld Affairs Department over the phone.
Wang Yao hurriedly agreed, knowing that Hui Shuo hadn't slept for long after all. He was extremely surprised that even Hui Shuo's magic weapon, the wooden fish, couldn't seal the interception point. Could it be that a large number of high-level corpse puppets had also appeared in the Underworld Affairs Zone?
He thought to himself that even if Hui Shuo couldn't defend against the corpse puppets, he should still be able to protect himself with the golden light. He should hurry up and save the patients with mild corpse aura here before rushing over. After all, if he left, it might not be long enough to come back and save the ghosts lying on the ground.
Before he could even speak to Wuying, the phone rang again. This time it was from the entrance of the Wind Path. He had just agreed to go there immediately when Qin Su from the Underworld District called again, asking for help. Just as he hung up on Qin Su, the call came from the Wind Path blockade in the Underworld District.
As soon as he hung up the phone, it started ringing again. Wang Yao shook his head and ignored it. It seemed that the enemy had launched a full-scale attack, and all the blockades were under pressure. Answering the phone again would only waste time.
