Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 59: Escape from the Underground and Return to Heaven (1)
Shaman rushed forward recklessly for close combat, unleashing the "Thirteen Strikes of Ghost Claws". He did not mind exchanging injuries with the Korean warrior, even though he was affected by the paralysis effect of the "Dark Night Dragon's Fang", making his attacks seem less coherent. However, Taotao filled in the gap in time, and the fire dragon circling outside the body was also waiting for an opportunity to move in the sky, suppressing the Korean warrior all the time. Even if he wanted to summon his pet Thunder Dragon to help, he would not get any chance.
Surrounded by zombies, leaving no room for escape, the Goryeo warriors were already trapped, and were attacked by Taotao and Shaman. Although they could barely hold out for a while with their agility and the power of the "Dark Night Dragon Fang", they were completely at a disadvantage. They could only parry and dodge, unable to escape the predicament. If the situation continued like this, defeat would be a matter of seconds, and they would not be able to hold out for too long.
Although victory seemed to be in sight, I still dared not relax at all. I urged Taotao and Shaman to intensify the offensive and kill the Goryeo warrior as soon as possible. Facing a top player with the same artifact in hand, as long as he was still alive, there might be a chance of a comeback, which should not be underestimated.
Unable to dodge, he had to endure several injuries. The assassin's defense ability was not much stronger than that of the magician. The Goryeo warrior should not have much health left, but he still had no intention of giving up. Taking advantage of the moment when Shaman and Taotao switched positions to attack, he transformed five figures in such a small space and rushed in different directions. It was probably a few offensive and defensive conversions that he grasped the rhythm and seized this little opportunity. But I didn't understand his intention. In the heavy siege, using this skill was just a waste of mental energy. The trapped beast still fought, but it only prolonged the time of defeat for half a moment. There were dense zombies all around, and the phantoms that were transformed would disappear immediately after hitting them, and the position of the entity would be exposed soon. There was no chance to break out of the siege, and it was not enough to successfully perform "Pet Summoning", which would not help him much in his predicament.
However, things did not develop as I imagined. Just when Taotao and Shaman's attack was slowed down for a moment by the five phantoms, four phantoms quickly hit the zombies and disappeared. However, the reaction of the Goryeo warrior was somewhat beyond my expectations. He did not take the opportunity to hide and try to escape, nor did he try his luck with "Broken Void" on me who was also seriously injured. Instead, he rushed and forcibly crashed into the group of zombies around him, but did not kill them, allowing them to squeeze him in the middle. In this way, Shaman needed to tear apart the zombies on the periphery to attack it, and could not launch a counterattack in time. Taotao, who was flying in the air, had to turn around because of the opposite direction, so he could only drive the fire dragon to crash into it, but it was a little short of the distance, which bought him a little time.
In an instant, something unexpected happened. A hazy khaki light flashed and covered the whole body of the Goryeo warrior. The next moment, Taotao's fire dragon rushed over, but it only hit and burned a bunch of zombies into ashes. It seemed that it did not hurt or did not completely hurt the Goryeo warrior - he suddenly disappeared.
I turned into a bat and could see clearly from the sky. Under the khaki light, the Goryeo warrior stood still. Even when the fire dragon approached, he had no intention of moving and dodging. Then he suddenly disappeared under the "crowd" of zombies. It was impossible for him to use the invisibility skill to achieve such an effect. In that case, he would not have time to escape the impact of the fire dragon. Once he was hurt, his invisibility would be broken. In the sky, there were no other flying objects except me and Taotao. I had never heard of the ability to fly invisibly. So the only possibility was that he went underground. Only in this way could he disappear without a trace and escape the siege of zombies without leaving any trace.
The zombies quickly surrounded them, crowding around thousands of square meters, confirming that the Goryeo warriors were not among them, further confirming my judgment. Judging from the effect of the item, it should be a "pseudo-artifact" that can burrow underground. Only assassins have this kind of special item, which complements their professional skills and is even more difficult to guard against.
But the Goryeo warrior's methods did not stop there. After a moment, his figure appeared in a corner far away from us. Just as I guessed, he came out from the ground. The surface of his body was still covered with a layer of faint yellow light. He ignored the zombies around him. A faint white light soon flashed on his chest, and a necklace floated out to cover him. This scene is not unfamiliar to me. I just witnessed it more than ten hours ago - the "Heaven-Returning Necklace", which Afeng had used before. It can restore 50% of the user's health, physical strength and mental strength. The Goryeo warrior also has one. In this way, his status was higher than mine again. He was indeed not easy to deal with as he was called the "world's number one assassin". I tried my best and almost killed him, but I failed at the last moment and he turned the situation around. The zombies were too weak. No matter how many there were, no matter how fierce they were, they could not hurt the Korean warriors around them. Taotao and Shaman were far away, and before they arrived, he had already completed the supply and quickly escaped underground, leaving them empty-handed. I didn't dare to transform into a bat and stay in the air. I recovered half of my status. He would definitely use "Broken Void" a few more times. Flying in the air was too obvious. If he attacked me a few more times, I would have no means to recover my health. By then, I would be at a disadvantage and be hunted down.
I changed back into my original form and stood on the ground. There were densely packed zombies all around me, leaving only a tiny space between me so as not to affect my transformation into a bat and the use of "incarnation", and to prevent the Goryeo warriors from coming out from underground to launch a close attack on me - according to the setting, if there is no empty space on the ground, the burrower cannot rush out and occupy the space by force.
In the melee just now, under the attack of the Goryeo warriors, Taotao and Sama, many innocent zombies were harmed. Now they gathered together to focus on protecting me, so the corners could not be so crowded. The expansion of the arena also facilitated the opponents at this time, leaving space for the Goryeo warriors to break out of the ground. After a while, a yellow light flashed, and he emerged from a remote corner again, but he did not attack me. Judging from his posture, he was actually seizing the time to perform "Pet Summoning". He is really a top master. He chose the most favorable time and position. Taotao and Sama could not reach him quickly to attack, so he bought him a little more time.
I was just worried that he would take the opportunity to use "Broken Void" to launch a sneak attack, but I didn't expect that he would use the "Pet Summoning" that had been abandoned at this time. Taotao and Shaman didn't occupy a favorable position for defense in advance, so he took advantage of the opportunity and successfully summoned the Thunder Dragon, and then quickly dived underground to avoid the attack.
The level of the zombies was too low. They were completely useless against the level seven Thunder Dragons. They could basically ignore their existence, so they were not restricted. In addition, there was enough space for them in the arena, so they forced the zombies aside and revealed their bodies.
