On the other hand, on Wang Tanzhi's side …
With the advantage in terms of both intelligence and power, Xiao Tan did not have to worry about anything when he moved. Therefore, he quickly tracked down the tracks of the First and Last Assault, and stared at them from afar.
Even though the two had been on alert, their scouting mastery was not that high. Combined with the constant presence of ghosts, the chance of them discovering Xiao Tan was close to zero.
"These two … are they trying to escape the town?" After following them for five minutes, Wang Tanzhi saw through their intention.
His guess was not wrong. First Ye Shall Be King and Final Assault wanted to 'escape from Lotus Moon Town'.
Even though the two members of Zombie Blade did not have much information, they were professional players, so it was not hard for them to figure out the reason behind the 'barrier'. After the plan to solve the scenario failed, the first plan that First Ye Shall Be King came up with was to 'escape from the barrier'.
Based on First Ye Shall Be King's plan, if he and his teammates could successfully escape from Lotus Moon Town, there would be at least three benefits. One, the ghosts would stop chasing after them. Two, the skill restriction would be removed. Three, they would not run into anyone from Underworld Frontline in the near future.
To put it simply, he planned to use 'time' and 'distance' to reduce the disadvantage that he was currently at and drag the battle into a protracted one.
Unfortunately … none of his plans and reactions … were outside of a certain someone's expectations.
In fact, ever since First Ye Shall Be King was attracted by Feng Bujue's mountain song and appeared before him, it was as if he had fallen into his enemy's grasp, and he could not escape.
At this point, why don't we take a look back at First Ye Shall Be King's experience after he encountered Brother Jue?
First, he was injured by Brother Jue and was followed as a lab rat. Then, after ten minutes of running, he finally reunited with his teammates, but he was still under surveillance.
When Feng Bujue went to Oink to help Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling, he also arranged for Ruo Yu to secretly follow First Ye Wang and Final Assault to ensure that they could survive for a while longer. Thus, the scene of Ruo Yu stopping Miao Xuzi appeared.
Then, they were targeted by Xiao Tan again.
In conclusion, Zombie Blade, the team leader, had never left the Underworld Frontline's line of sight. His life and that of his teammates could be taken at any moment.
If someone used the video to analyze this match, they would come to this conclusion. Ten minutes after the match started, Zombie Blade Team One had already lost.
Because in those ten minutes, of the two people who came into contact with Feng Bujue, one was dead and the other was injured. One broke the balance of the situation, while the other became a chess piece for the opponent to consolidate their advantage.
"Eh? I can really see the 'border'. "After tailing them for another few minutes, Xiao Tan saw a layer of gray barrier in the distance.
The barrier appeared to be some kind of translucent energy field. In the moonlit night, it was hard to notice from afar. But upon closer inspection, one could see a light effect that was similar to 'refraction'.
"This is not good … There are no more houses ahead, and the crops in the fields are all withered …" Xiao Tan whispered to himself as he tailed them. "Even if the opponent's eyesight is normal, in an open space without any other cover, with only a group of translucent ghosts as cover … I will still be exposed."
That being said, he couldn't just watch the two of them leave his sight. If there was no other way, he would have to show himself. If worse came to worst, he could just kill them. It was better than losing them.
Thankfully, he did not have to do that.
Because when he reached the border, First Ye Wang and Final Assault … he stopped.
"Damn it … I knew it would not be that easy." Touching the 'barrier' before him, First Ye Wang grumbled with depression.
Hum hum hum!
Final Assault immediately clenched his fist and knocked on the invisible barrier, but it felt like … his fist was punched into a semi-solid cement. He could not exert any strength at all.
"This … we will need to use a powerful energy skill to create a gap," Final Assault said.
"That's right …" First King shook his head and sighed. "But right now, our skills are restricted. We can't use high-intensity energy attacks."
"So …" Final Assault gulped and turned to look at the town behind him. "Is there no choice but to go back?"
"Looks like we have no other choice." First Ye Wang soon accepted the reality before him and came up with a plan of action. "We should turn back to the town and deal with the smell of blood on us first …" He turned around and said, "Those ghosts are too troublesome. If we want to avoid them, we have to keep moving at a certain speed … This will seriously affect the recovery of our Stamina Points. Furthermore … they will expose our location and make it easy for the people from Underworld Frontline to track us down."
"But the problem is …" Final Assault said. "Even if we stop the bleeding, the smell of blood on our clothes will still attract the ghosts …" He shrugged and continued helplessly. "So far, all the rivers and wells that we have seen are dry. There is no water to clean our clothes, and we cannot take off our clothes and throw them away …"
"I know." First Ye Wang waved his hand and interrupted his teammate. "The reason I brought this up is naturally because I have already thought of a solution."
"Oh?" Hearing that, Final Assault's eyes glowed. "What solution?"
"Since we are unable to completely 'clean up' the smell of blood …" First Ye Wang replied, "Then we can try to use a stronger smell to 'cover up' the smell of blood."
"You're right!" Final Assault was enlightened. "That makes sense!"
"Hmm …" First Ye Wang nodded at him. "In any case, come with me … Actually, on the way here, I've already considered this situation, so I noticed a pigsty at the northeast corner of the village …"
…
On the other hand, back at Liu He Temple …
After dealing with Cong Ming 'er's scenario, Brother Jue and Xiao Ling climbed up to the fifth floor of the tower.
In the middle of this floor, there was a human-shaped ghost floating in the air. His face was covered by long hair, and it was hard to tell. His whole body was covered in a layer of flesh-colored 'armor', and the surface of the armor was covered with twisted patterns.
When a normal person saw someone like that from afar, they would be a bit scared, but Feng Bujue walked toward the man without hesitation.
Soon, Brother Jue realized … that the other party was not wearing any 'armor' at all. The flesh-colored, thick material … was all skin and flesh.
"Are you Zhang Ke?" Feng Bujue asked without hesitation.
But the other party did not answer him, or rather … he did not use 'language' to answer him.
"Ugh …" Two seconds later, Zhang Ke groaned and raised his head abruptly.
Brother Jue raised the searchlight and shone it on the other party's face.
It was a face covered in twisted patterns, and it was in extreme pain. Other than the eyes, the other facial features were hard to discern. The only distinguishable features were the eyes, and only the whites of the eyes were visible.
"Ah! Ah!" When the white light shone on his face, Zhang Ke went berserk. He roared and opened his arms.
At that moment, the whole floor was shrouded in an oppressive aura. The sudden appearance of invisible spiritual pressure caused Brother Jue and Xiao Ling's shoulders to sink, like they were being weighed down by several times their own weight.
"This kind of reaction …" Brother Jue said calmly. "Then I'll take it as' yes'."
Feng Bujue knew very well that this Zhang Ke … was not the final boss of this scenario. In fact, he should be the least difficult one to kill of the six spirits.
Forty years ago, Zhang Ke used his own craftsmanship to forge a key to the stone courtyard and sneaked into the tower. As a normal person, he naturally did not have the power to break the seal inside the tower. Therefore, after a series of accidents, before he reached the second floor, he was injured by a defensive spell.
Then, in a moment of panic, Zhang Ke's blood … dripped on the floor. If this drop of blood had been outside the tower, it would have been fine. But inside the tower … it belonged to the 'sealed interior'. Therefore, the Six Entrances Mirror reacted to the blood and directly sucked Zhang Ke's three spiritual and seven physical souls to the top.
In the following forty years, the poor man was repeatedly tortured by the vengeful spirits in the mirror, experiencing the agony of Avici Purgatory. The 'flesh armor' on his body … was actually the accumulation of scars from the countless tortures.
Then, when Miao Xuzi and the rest broke the seal on the mirror, Zhang Ke, as the last spirit to be sucked into the mirror, carried the resentment of the Naraka Realm, and appeared inside the tower. Based on Oink's description, "This man's soul has been tortured beyond recognition. He might not even have consciousness left, much less rationality. Instead of calling him a spirit, it would be more accurate to call him a blob of flesh that carried power."
Of course, even without intelligence, he still had some power. The system had placed this evil spirit of the Naraka Realm here, which was equivalent to setting up a benchmark to "test one's strength". There was no need for strategy to deal with him, but there had to be a certain level of attack to end the battle.
In conclusion, there were only two types of people who could pass this place. The first type was those who had already solved the scenario and had drunk Oink's meat soup. The second type was those who were strong enough to kill Zhang Ke while their skills were limited and their Life Points were draining.
Without a doubt, Feng Bujue and Gu Xiaoling belonged to the former category. And as for the two from Zombie Blade, to be honest, even if they really managed to snatch the key from Miao Xuzi, they would not have survived after they entered the tower.
"Then … let me help you free yourself …" After waiting for two seconds, Feng Bujue put down the searchlight. He raised both of his hands, and Wicked King's Flame Purgatory Scorch was unleashed.
To be safe, Brother Jue even activated Body Enhancement Spell (Modified) to increase the power of the skill. He wanted to finish the boss in one hit.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Instantly, the shadow of a fist danced, and the black flame wreaked havoc. As the flame burned, there was a roar.
Several seconds later, the pressure on the floor lightened, and the death of the boss was announced.
"Okay … This is going to be a good show." Before the meat completely disappeared, Feng Bujue turned around to tell Xiao Ling. Then … he took out the Blood Corpse God's Magatama from his inventory.
