Shi Hao was anxious, but before he finished talking, he heard a loud noise erupting from the dark cloud in the sky ahead.
Soon after that, that black cloud exploded and black air slowly spread out. At this moment, Shi Hao heard Fa Zheng sighing: “It’s coming…, sure enough, it’s Dead Soul Formation. If my calculation is correct, this Dead Soul Formation should last about three minutes.”
“Three minutes! This…, we must hold on…” Shi Hao frowned.
…………
In a hidden groove outside Twin Dragons Village, Wu Batian was hiding there with two people.
At this moment, Wu Batian raised his head and looked at that black air all over the sky. Although he was overjoyed in his heart, he was also very frightened. He then turned to look at two people beside him, Capable Monarch and Empress. Afterward, he walked over and patted Capable Monarch’s shoulder with a look of great admiration on his face. However, he was very alert in his heart and said: “Capable Monarch, you actually had such a powerful skill. I never knew it before. However, it’s truly a pity…, otherwise, I would have formulated a tailored tactic for you.”
Capable Monarch just showed a dumbstruck look and said: “Alliance Leader Heroic Overlord, you clearly know the flaws of this method. If I disclosed it before, the information might have spread, making Twin Dragons Village guard against it. Like that, my trifling skill would have become useless.”
At one side, Wu Batian’s newly favorite general—Empress, walked over, and stood beside Wu Batian.
Wu Batian’s eyes followed Empress for a bit and then he turned to Capable Monarch again as a thought appeared in his heart.
Wu Batian wondered if this fellow, Capable Monarch, was truly dedicated to following him. Capable Monarch was quite capable. Capable Monarch not only had an advanced building that could produce Yellow Scarf Warriors, but he also had an unusual skill like Dead Soul Formation.
A doubt suddenly appeared in Wu Batian’s heart, and he thought inwardly: “Capable Monarch, this damned fellow, I wonder if he is still concealing any other important matters from me. As I see it, he might still have other trump cards he has yet to reveal. After I fight to the death with Twin Dragons Village, wouldn’t Capable Monarch…”
Therefore, Wu Batian said with a smile: “Capable Monarch, your words are reasonable. Very good, it’s up to you next.”
After speaking, Wu Batian secretly signaled Empress, and Empress also obeyed Wu Batian’s instruction.
She directly stood behind Capable Monarch and followed him closely.
Capable Monarch, however, just said: “Big Sister Empress, you are polite…”
Wu Batian just sat at one side at ease, watching the sudden change in the situation.
…………
At the gate of Twin Dragons Village, over a thousand shield-bearing fighters had already gotten into a phalanx formation. This phalanx formation was a skill learned by Shi Hao—Defense Phalanx. Defense Phalanx was a B grade commander-type skill. Once the soldiers under his command get into the formation, they would gain a defense bonus while reducing mobility.
At this moment, Shi Hao used Defense Phalanx to guard the integrity of Twin Dragons Village with all his strength.
However, Shi Hao himself also knew that Defense Phalanx was just a B grade skill. It could only increase the defense by ten or so points. This small amount of boost, if Shi Hao’s guess was right, then it paled into insignificance when compared to those Yellow Scarf Warriors that had resurrected as zombies. It was basically incomparable.
In fact, Shi Hao’s guess was true.
Not long after, the army of zombies arrived, and the shield-bearing fighters of Twin Dragons Village collapsed at the first encounter. Those zombie Yellow Scarf Warriors destroyed the Shadow Dragon Soul Shield of several soldiers in one attack. But the counterattack of the destroyed shield had no effect on those zombies. In addition, the arrow rain shot by Flying Dragon Bow Cavalry that was led by Passionate Archer was also useless.
Shi Hao was very anxious, but he couldn’t find a way out. He then looked at Fa Zheng and asked: “How long has it been?”
Fa Zheng also looked anxious as he replied: “Less than a minute…”
Shi Hao gritted his teeth: “Damn it, the time is passing too slowly.” After thinking, he looked at the battlefield and discovered that several soldiers had already fallen in a pool of blood. Looking at their appearance, they might never wake up again. “So hateful.” While his brain was running fast, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
“Yes! Perhaps…”
Shi Hao suddenly rushed forward. And at that time, Fa Zheng yelled: “My lord, don’t take risks.”
However, Shi Hao had already made up his mind at this moment.
“Quickly give way!”
Shi Hao ignored the call of Fa Zheng, and holding Water Cloud Sword and wearing Fire Dragon Armor, he bravely rushed forward, rushing straight into the zombie army. Speaking about it, Shi Hao had good luck. Those zombies didn’t seem to specifically target Shi Hao because they had no intelligence. Therefore, even when Shi Hao ran back and forth among them, he never received a big obstruction.
After a while, Shi Hao rushed out from the midst of the zombie army and said with a smile: “Sure enough, it’s like that!”
After speaking, Shi Hao didn’t delay. He rushed back to Fa Zheng’s side…
…………
The onlookers on the hillside outside Twin Dragons Village were all speechless at this stage.
Suddenly, someone couldn’t help breaking the silence and asked: “I never thought that Twin Dragons Village and Heavenly Dragon Village have already reached this level even though they are similarly the first batch of people that entered the game. This truly makes us so ashamed. I also wonder who will be the ultimate winner in this strange situation?”
Someone replied: “I think Heavenly Dragon will win. Although I don’t know where that black air has come from…”
Someone intercepted: “That black air can summon zombies!”
Someone said: “But this kind of demonic skill might not last long…”
Another one asked: “Then, do you think Twin Dragons Village can last until then?”
Someone insisted: “Look over, there are Blowing Wind Left A Scar, Silver Hammer Young General, and old Taoist…”
Someone, however, laughed: “In front of several thousand zombies, although Wind God is brave, that Young General is powerful and that old Taoist is shrewd, how many people could they save with just three of them? Besides, do you think the generals of Heavenly Dragon Village are all vegetarians?”
Someone said: “Alas, I’m afraid the entire Twin Dragons Village will be wiped out today…”
After hearing the remarks, someone shouted again: “Quickly look! The soldiers of Twin Dragons Village are somewhat strange.”
Everyone looked over: “Indeed, it’s strange.”
Someone asked: “What are the soldiers of Twin Dragons Village doing?”
Someone replied: “Perhaps, they have given up fighting and plans to surrender?”
Someone cut it: “Impossible! How can Twin Dragons Village surrender?”
Someone asked again: “Then why are they retreating?”
Someone said: “This…, perhaps, they are gathering…”
…………
Meanwhile, Wu Batian also noticed the strange movements of Twin Dragons Village.
Wu Batian considered for a good while. He at least knew that Shake the Heaven would never admit defeat. But looking at this situation, the more he looked, the more it looked like Shake the Heaven had admitted defeat. “Strange, too strange. Something is wrong, he must have a trick.” He hastily rushed to the side of Capable Monarch and asked: “How is the current situation?”
Capable Monarch frowned and said: “I’m not clear, merely…”
Wu Batian quickly asked: “Merely what?”
Capable Monarch had a look of worry and said: “Perhaps, he wants to round up the entire zombie army in one fell swoop.”
Wu Batian was startled and asked again: “What do you mean by this?”
Capable Monarch helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said: “These zombies just slaughter everything, they don’t have any extra thoughts.”
Wu Batian said: “Nonsense! How is this a problem? Isn’t it enough to just know how to slaughter?”
Capable Monarch sighed and said: “If the other party is a fool, it is indeed enough. Unfortunately, the opponent’s name is Shake the Heaven. He, however, is a clever fellow.”
Wu Batian was a little annoyed as he asked: “Don’t beat around the bush with me, what’s going on?”
Capable Monarch closed his eyes, making Wu Batian unable to see his hidden feelings, and said: “Shake the Heaven has at least discovered that the zombies just attacked the people marked with the black air. Wherever the people marked with the black air, the zombies are concentrated there…” At this point, Capable Monarch pointed at several thousand zombies that had already gathered at one place on the battlefield, and said: “After the zombies are gathered, perhaps…”
Wu Batian gloomily said: “Perhaps, that damned Shake the Heaven will sacrifice those soldiers marked with the black air to protect the rest. After that, when more soldiers are marked, he would repeat the process until the time limit of Dead Soul Formation is up. Shake the Heaven, he is truly a cunning fellow.”
However, Capable Monarch shook his head.
He then said: “That’s not the goal of Shake the Heaven. As I said, he probably wants to round up everyone at one fell swoop…”
Wu Batian laughed and said: “Nonsense! What a joke! Round up everyone in one fell swoop? Who gave him such courage?”
