Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 149 Never Let Go
I recognized Ebola easily, but I had never seen the undead fighting against it. It looked a bit strange. It was pitch black. It was neither a mummy nor a skeleton. It was not like a spirit. It was covered with a layer of black flames. It was about five meters tall, with a pair of wings and two claws. It looked like a big bird. Looking at its head and tail, it looked very similar to the sacred beast Phoenix. Thinking of this, I suddenly thought. If this guy had been fighting with Ebola for the past few days, he could be the opponent of the ninth-level upper-level Destruction Knight. He had been fighting for several days without a clear winner, but he did not let Ebola escape. His level must be higher than the ninth-level upper-level, and he might even be the tenth-level lower-level. With such a strong strength, he lived alone, and he looked similar. Could this be the undead ghost phoenix that I had only heard of but never met?
If it is really a battle between Ibola and the Undead Ghost Phoenix, then my trip here is really worthwhile. As long as I can seize the opportunity and capture them both in one fell swoop, with my current strength, and using the "Soul Collecting Finger" that can increase the success rate of signing the "Soul Contract" by 25%, it should be possible to subdue them both. Moreover, I now have the ability of "Death Domain", which can protect myself and some of my subordinates from the unpredictable and extremely harsh natural environment of the first forbidden land "Lost Kingdom". It should be relatively easy to expel some level 9 alien undead creatures, and there is no need to worry about the problem of Ibola's "ability conversion". Even if I subdue it, I should have enough strength to support its growth. In addition, it can also let it with wind attributes sign a "possession contract" with Xiaobai, and have the ability to perform "teleportation" at will, further enhancing its combat effectiveness. Just one Ibola is actually worth using the "Soul Collecting Finger", and with a possible undead ghost of the Undead Ghost Phoenix, such a good opportunity must not be missed.
Perhaps because they had been fighting for too long, Ibora and the Undead Ghost Phoenix—before its real name is known, I will just call it what I want it to be. Both looked quite tired. Ibora's movement speed was obviously much slower than I remembered. If it was only this speed, it would be impossible for it to avoid the lock of the Supreme Honor Space Transformation in the "God's Domain". It was just relying on its strange attack method of "appearing and disappearing like a ghost" to threaten its opponent. From time to time, I stabbed the Undead Ghost Phoenix with a spear, splitting the black flames around its body and adding a white gap to its dark body. Upon closer inspection, the surface of the Undead Ghost Phoenix's body was already mottled with white stripes of varying thickness and length. These should be the injuries caused by Ibora's snake-tip spear. The injury must not be too light. As for the Undead Ghost Phoenix, its flying speed was relatively slow. It could only peck with its mouth, grab with its claws, or even flap its wings. It was completely unable to effectively resist Ibola's attack. I really didn't know how it had persisted until now, and it had made Ibola so tired that his body had many defects. It was obvious that it had not been able to gain much advantage.
Judging from the current situation, the Undead Ghost Phoenix is at a disadvantage. After being hit by four or five spears, it can't even fight back. I am puzzled by the current stalemate, but a situation where both sides suffer losses is exactly what I want to see. Naturally, the sooner the better, so that I don't have to wait too long. At the moment, I hid aside and watched the battle patiently, trying not to disturb them. At the same time, I used spiritual contact to dispatch troops, and let two hundred white bone dragons and one hundred bone dragons guard the outer area in batches, deploy defenses on all sides, waiting for my orders, ready to attack and intervene in their battle at any time, so as to reap the benefits.
The more I watched, the more confused I felt. The Undead Ghost Wind seemed to be passively beaten, moving slowly, and lacking counterattacks. It did not pose much threat to Ibola. However, Ibola's attack was a bit strange. It was obviously very tired, but it did not know how to save some energy. It was fine when it took the initiative to attack, but even if it retreated to a place far away from the Undead Ghost Phoenix and would not be directly attacked, it did not slow down and continued to move around, refusing to stay in one place for a moment. Even if it wanted to find more attack opportunities and cause more injuries to the Undead Ghost Phoenix, it should not be so careless about its energy and keep flying at full speed at all times. With the current state of the Undead Ghost Phoenix, although it is not optimistic, its body's defense ability seems to be good, but it should not be a tired soldier that can be dealt with in a short time. For an intermediate Destruction Knight who has extremely rich practical experience, facing a strong enemy, he should not make such a hasty mistake.
Yibo La attacked again, "appearing and disappearing like a ghost", and crossed the body of the Undead Ghost Phoenix, leaving a white mark. However, when he pulled back, he was swept by the Undead Ghost Phoenix's left wing, staggered, and his speed dropped suddenly. At this time, the two sides were seven or eight meters apart, but the Undead Ghost Phoenix did not take advantage of the situation to catch up. Suddenly, it opened its mouth towards Yibo La and spit out a series of faint black ring-shaped ripples. When it left its mouth, it was just a small black ring, which immediately enlarged rapidly and formed a cone-shaped beam, which was quickly shot out and covered Yibo La's body. Then I heard the Undead Ghost Phoenix emit a crisp cry, and the output frequency of the cone-shaped beam suddenly increased several times. I felt nothing, but it seemed that Yibo La was not so comfortable. He actually condensed in place, as if he was restrained by the black beam that reached his body, and with this cry, his body trembled violently, as if he was quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, the Undead Ghost Phoenix stopped moving while it continued to sing, and it seemed that it could no longer launch other methods to cooperate with the attack. Otherwise, the damage suffered by Ibola would probably be even greater.
No wonder Ibola had to move as fast as he could. I guess he was worried about the sonic attack from the Undead Ghost Phoenix. As soon as he slowed down due to the attack, the Undead Ghost Phoenix immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack and he suffered a small loss. In a duel between two strong men, he really couldn't relax at all.
The cry of the Undead Ghost Phoenix did not last long. Perhaps due to Ibola's struggle, its tenacious fighting consciousness gradually deviated from the center of the beam impact, and then it struggled hard and finally got rid of the restraint of the sound wave and escaped to the side. However, although its movement speed had recovered by more than half, it seemed that it had not been able to completely eliminate the negative effects of the sound wave attack. Its flying posture seemed a little unstable, and its body was still trembling slightly. It was just wandering around the periphery, as if it was unable to immediately launch a counterattack against the Undead Ghost Wind.
The Undead Ghost Phoenix, which had taken advantage of the situation, still did not take the opportunity to rush forward and pursue. It took a majestic posture and floated in the air without moving. After concentrating for a moment, it raised its head to the sky and let out a loud cry. The thin layer of black flames that originally lingered on the surface of its body suddenly churned violently, expanding from less than one foot to about two meters, and it expanded and contracted. After Yibo La returned to normal, facing the blazing black flames of the Undead Ghost Phoenix, he did not dare to attack again. Instead, he quickly fled to the back, as if trying his best to distance himself from the Undead Ghost Phoenix. As a bystander, I was even more puzzled, but I didn't know what skills the Undead Ghost Phoenix was using to make Yibo La so timid?
Exhausted, Ibola didn't have time to retreat far. With a loud bang, the layer of black flames suddenly exploded, turning into many black shadows flying everywhere. Looking closely, they looked like strange bird shapes. The smallest was only similar to a volleyball, and the largest ones were almost one meter tall. A rough estimate was that there were dozens or even hundreds of black birds. They seemed to have life. A few of them circled around the body of the Undead Ghost Phoenix, and most of them spread their wings and chased after the retreating Ibola. The Undead Ghost Phoenix, which had returned to normal, seemed to have no other effects except that the black flames lingering on the surface of its body seemed thinner. It also spread its wings and tried its best to chase after Ibola.
Perhaps because they were illusions, these black birds were faster than Ibola at the moment. They quickly approached it and began to attack it with their bodies. Ibola seemed to be quite afraid of these small black birds. He tried his best to avoid them and not let them touch him. He did not dare to block or fight back unless he had no choice. However, there were too many black birds. No matter how agile Ibola was, he was already at the end of his strength. He was inevitably hit one after another, but he did not find anything abnormal. It seemed like a normal physical attack. Unless they were of different sizes, but were abnormal and had a level and attack power similar to the original undead ghost bird, otherwise, coupled with the influence of the "destruction field", such physical contact should not pose too much threat to Ibola.
A black bird the size of a face that continuously attacked Ebola was probably at the end of its life. Its body suddenly flickered a few times, and it let out a short hiss. In an instant, it turned into a will-o'-the-wisp and shot towards Ebola, as if launching another magic attack. The magic released within a few meters was too much for Ebola to dodge at this speed, plus the restraint of other black birds around him. At least half of the magic hit its body. The damage this time might not be serious, but it was just the beginning. As the black birds and Ebola became more and more entangled, more and more black birds came to the end of their lives. After a short hiss, their bodies suddenly turned into undead magic, or magic bullets, or magic arrows, or a ball of black mist, or a will-o'-the-wisp... The frequent attacks made it impossible for Ebola to avoid them. The power was much greater than that of Jian Bei's body collision, and it constantly added new damage to it. It seems that this is the real method of the Undead Ghost Phoenix, which has caused great suffering to the powerful Intermediate-level Knight of Destruction, and has been unable to achieve victory.
However, Ibola's speed was still higher than that of the Undead Phoenix, and those little black birds that were released from the body and could attack freely seemed to have a distance limit. They could only stay a hundred or so meters away from the Undead Phoenix and could not go beyond this range. After a struggle, Ibola finally got rid of the attack of a group of black birds and fled far away.
Perhaps the same scene had been played out many times before. As soon as it saw Ebola escape from the attack circle, the Undead Ghost Phoenix stopped chasing and floated in the air. A group of black birds flew around it. Ebola did not flee, and gave up the fight with the Undead Ghost Phoenix. It dived and fell to the ground, as if it was going to take the opportunity to rest and recover some strength. When the Undead Ghost Phoenix moved forward, it immediately stepped back a few steps, always keeping a distance of more than 200 meters. After a few attempts, seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, the Undead Ghost Phoenix quickly gave up the intention of attacking and also fell to the ground, facing Ebola from a distance, and began a new form of stalemate.
No wonder they were able to fight for several days. I have been wondering how they could have so much energy. It turns out that they have reached a tacit understanding, fighting and resting, leaving time for recovery. It seems that neither side is willing to take the risk of a life-and-death duel, so the battle has been delayed. But I don't know when the deadlock can be broken - they are willing to wait, and I don't want to wait here and waste time. What if I have to log off when the time limit is reached, and who knows what the situation will be like tomorrow? I have to rest for eight hours, and anything can happen. Now this life-and-death contest has obviously entered the final stage. If it ends during this period, I will lose a lot.
However, they both obviously still have some strength left. If I command the Bone Dragon Army to attack now, it will be easy to scare them. If they all choose to abandon the battle and flee, I may not be able to split my attention and ensure that no one escapes. Let's wait and see. Continue to consume them for a while and find out all the methods of the Undead Ghost Phoenix. Time is really running out, so I will start to act.
After a stalemate of about 20 minutes, the body of the Undead Ghost Phoenix suddenly emitted a faint black light, and the bodies of the remaining dozens of small black birds flying around it also flickered at the same time, and flew towards it together, like swallows returning to their nests, and plunged into its body and disappeared. It seems that this skill may have a time limit, estimated to be half an hour, when the small black birds that have not been disillusioned will return to the mother body, and the black flames on the surface of the Undead Ghost Phoenix's body suddenly became a little brighter, and it was obvious that the small black birds had turned into its energy again.
Seeing the little black bird being taken back, Yibo La did not delay any longer and immediately flew over, seemingly not worried that the Undead Ghost Phoenix would repeat its old tricks. The Undead Ghost Phoenix was probably restricted and had no intention of using this skill again. It also flapped its wings, but did not fly up to fight. It still stood on the ground and launched a magic attack against the approaching Yibo La. Every time it flapped its wings, it would release dozens of magic arrows and shoot at Yibo La. However, Yibo La did not retreat this time. While trying its best to dodge, it looked for opportunities to rush forward in a roundabout way under the rain of arrows. As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the Undead Ghost Phoenix had to stop releasing magic and flew up to fight, returning to the stalemate situation when I just arrived.
In close combat, Ebola still had some advantages, but as long as its movement was greatly affected, stagnated or slowed down significantly, the Undead Ghost Phoenix would chirp and release a black beam to attack, but it never released any more black birds. It just took advantage of Ebola's inability to fight back and its movement speed to rush forward and peck and slap it, trying to gain a little advantage. Neither side could cause fatal damage to the opponent. It was not until more than an hour later that the Undead Ghost Phoenix seized the opportunity to release a group of black birds again, causing more damage to Ebola. Then the two sides stood on the ground again, facing each other from a distance, both persisting, neither willing to retreat, showing great patience, and clearly wanted to decide the outcome through a protracted battle.
This was repeated twice. Although it was still risky to intervene at this time, the offline time limit was approaching, and I didn't have much time to play with them like this. Instead of waiting for eight hours to try my luck, it was better to take action now and take the opportunity into my own hands. Anyway, I knew all of Ebola's abilities, and the Undead Ghost Phoenix should basically have these tricks. Their strength had been consumed, and with two hundred white bone dragons and one hundred bone dragons, I should have a relatively high chance of keeping them.
When the Undead Ghost Phoenix put away the little black bird and fought with Ibora for more than 20 minutes, I finally gave the order and directed the bone dragons to surround them. Ibora certainly felt the danger and immediately abandoned the Undead Ghost Phoenix and turned to flee to one side. The Undead Ghost Phoenix was not a brainless fool. It did not regard the bone dragons rushing over as reinforcements to help it kill the "undead public enemy" Destruction Knight. It also turned to flee to the other side. Fortunately, I had expected their reaction. The original arrangement was mainly based on the steady interception tactics. I immediately gathered them according to the plan and surrounded them layer by layer. At their current state, their speed was no longer fast and their strength was greatly reduced. It should be impossible for them to break through the siege.
Ibola and the undead ghost phoenix snipe clam were fighting, and I finally got the chance to be the fisherman who benefited. Of course, the main reason was that I had the ability to intercept and subdue them. Although the two of them fought desperately and wanted to escape, their strength was almost exhausted and they were unable to get rid of the entanglement of more than a hundred bone dragons they were facing. In order not to kill them with too heavy a blow, I did not hesitate to take damage and ordered the bone dragons to give up active attacks and mainly parry and block, and even use their bodies to block and suppress, further consuming their limited strength, and slowly driving them to the ground, as close as possible, so that I could subdue them together.
