1118 Counter-attack


    Ma Xiaowan couldn’t help but turn her head and nce at Fang Heng.


    She was really shocked when Fang Heng told her to cooperate in a scam.


    After scamming arge sum of money from Pri Gaming Guild, Ma Xiaowan suddenly sympathized with them.


    “Eh?”


    !!


    Suddenly, Fang Heng let out a soft sound of surprise.


    Many of the yers in the sneak attack team had ayer of pitch-ck stratum corneum attached to their bodies.


    It was the barbarian race!


    The demonized barbarians were mixed in with the yers!


    He had thought that it was the yers who organized the night attack, but he did not expect to see the barbarians.


    “Why are there so many barbarians?”


    Ma Xiaowan also noticed arge number of barbarians, and her face couldn’t help but stiffen.


    Since when did the Pri Gaming Guild get involved with the barbarians?


    As expected, this meant disaster.


    She looked at Fang Heng and said anxiously, “Fang Heng, what should we do? It’s the barbarian race. Moreover, they’re all barbarians in the demonized state! They all came over… Uh…”


    Ma Xiaowan said and then closed her mouth.


    She noticed that there was no panic in Fang Heng’s eyes. Instead, there was a strange expectation.


    “Don’t worry,” said Fang Heng lightly. “Let theme closer.”


    Ma Xiaowan fell silent.


    She had a bad feeling.


    The disaster was about to befall again.


    However, this time, the disaster would most likely befall the barbarians and the Pri Guild.


    …


    The deeper he went into the center of the forest, the more shocked Ed became.


    The sacred tree had an extremely tenacious vitality! It had been burning for more than ten minutes, but except for some branches that had been burned off, the surface of the ancient tree was not burned as he had expected.


    It was still burning fiercely.


    The vines in the middle domain of the thick forest were also burning and struggling. Countless vines were iling and dancing around wantonly as if they want to actively extinguish the mes.


    Fortunately, the team had protective rune crystals with them, allowing them to avoid the vines that were blocking their path.


    Ed could not help but exim that the 500,000 yuan was well spent!


    They’re here!


    In front of them, the ghost tower and the giant tree were exposed to everyone’s sight.


    “It’s that giant tree!”


    “Hahaha, the enlightenment stone! It must be the power of the enlightenment stone!”


    “That’s the ce!”


    “Follow me! Let’s charge!”


    Seeing that the giant tree was still alive despite being surrounded by mes, Revere became excited. He immediately led the demonized barbarians and attacked the giant tree!


    “Let’s go! Let’s go to the mage tower!”


    Seeing that the barbarians were charging towards the sacred tree, Ed made a prompt decision and called the apanying yers to head to the mage tower together.


    The barbarians wanted the enlightenment stone.


    But they were different.


    They only wanted to destroy the ghost tower and obtain the magic cores in the ghost tower!


    Both parties split up.


    Ed led his team of yers and rushed straight toward the ghost tower.


    The zombies wandering around the ghost tower turned their heads in unison, looking at the intruders who hade from afar.


    “Ice crystal!”


    “Gale, roar.”


    “Condensed fireball!”


    Colorful spells were thrown at the zombies outside the ghost tower.


    “Boom Boom Boom!!”


    There was a burst of explosions.


    “Eh?”


    Ed was stunned. The team of yers was also stunned. There was something wrong with this group of undead creatures!


    Ordinary zombies were the lowest level of undead creatures besides skeletons. The most obvious characteristic of zombies was their high HP and resistance to attacks.


    But these zombies were too resistant!


    Ed saw with his own eyes that a zombie was paralyzed by the chain lightning, and was sent flying by two concentrated fireballs.


    ...


    But it didn’t die?


    Originally, the yers could have wiped out a small group of ordinary barbarians with a round of spell attacks that covered all areas. However, only two zombies died?


    Upon closer inspection, Ed noticed that the bloody hole on the zombie’s body that was sted by the fireball was healing rapidly!


    How could its self-recovery ability be so ridiculous?


    “Be careful! Their recovery ability is very terrifying. They are elite zombies that had been specially summoned and transformed. Focus on fire attacks! Break them one by one!”


    Ed was experienced inbat, so he immediately noticed the problem and changed his battle n to attack with a single target.


    “Yes!”


    The yers began to cast spells and focused their attacks on the zombies.


    It was effective!


    Under the concentrated output of spells, the zombies began to be eliminated one by one.


    However, there were too many zombies!


    ...


    After a few rounds of spell bombardment, more than a dozen zombies died on the other side, and more zombies emerged from the surroundings.


    Mage-ss yers didn’t have much mana, so how could they withstand such a consumption?


    Ayer of cold sweat appeared on everyone’s foreheads.


    The zombies’ movement speed was slow, and with the slow effect of the spell, their movement speed was even slower.


    However, the approaching zombies gave them great mental pressure.


    “Commander, there are too many of them. The life force of these elite zombies is too strong. Let’s just ignore them and think of a way to break into the ghost tower.”


    Ed frowned and raised his head to look at the higher part of the ghost tower.


    He realized that the situation was not right and raised his hand to signal the team to slowly retreat.


    “There’s no hurry. Hold on. We’ll retreat.”


    Arge number of high-level construction materials and magic cores were hidden in the ghost tower, so there must be more defensive measures in the tower.


    There was a high chance that they would be pincered by the enemy if they tried to force their way in.


    At that time, they would be surrounded and trapped in a quagmire, unable to escape, leading to the entire team’s destruction.


    It was too risky!


    There was no need for that.


    It was better to retreat first and wait.


    No hurry!


    The more critical the situation was, the more Ed warned himself not to be anxious. It wouldn’t be toote to wait until the barbarians obtained the enlightenment stone and then attack the ghost tower together!


    “Commander, look behind you!”


    What? Behind?


    Ed was stunned, and he could not help but look behind.


    The burning giant tree emitted a green light.


    Under the flickering green light, the rising mes were dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    Fresh branches grew out from the burnt skin. In just a short moment, the fire waspletely extinguished. In the darkness, the sacred tree glowed with a green light as if it had been reborn, giving people a new feeling.


    But under the sacred tree was a tragic scene!


    “Chi! Chi Chi Chi Chi!!!”


    Fine and sharp spikes continued to shoot out from the ground!


    The barbarian team that was trying to attack the sacred tree fell into great chaos.


    It was very difficult for the spikes to break through the outer hornyer of the demonized barbarians, but they could easily knock them away!


    Then, the dense vines started to wrap around the demonized barbarians from under their feet.


    Once they were entangled…


    “Run! Quickly run!”


    The barbarians were panicking.


    This was the first time they had encountered such a terrifying scene!


    They frantically retreated in the direction of Ed’s team.


    “Ka!”


    Ed’s face turned ck. He saw with his own eyes that a demonized barbarian was tied up by dozens of vines and then dragged to the ground, disappearingpletely!


    And this time, the leader of the barbarian team, Revere, was nowhere to be seen.


    Where was he? Was he dead?
