Chapter 77: Killing Soul Beasts
They walked along the trail and entered a quiet forest.
They did not see a single living creature for a long time.
It was quiet all around them, and there was no sign of life.
“Were we tricked?”
Park Yunmo asked with a pout on his face.
Along the way, he looked around, but there was no sign of soul beasts. This made Park Yunmo suspect that they had been tricked.
“Be patient.”
Chen Feng said softly.
On the contrary, even though he did not notice anything along the way, there was a sense of unease lingering in his heart.
This place…was not simple.
…
At the same time.
A fight broke out somewhere else in the forest.
“What the heck is this?!”
A man wearing heavy armor cursed as he struggled to block the attack.
The Blue Quality shield that he spent a fortune on was full of scratches.
He was still yet to see what was attacking him until now!
“I knew that that old man was up to no good. How can it be easy to go against a soul beast?”
The other middle-aged man next to him kept cursing.
He was a mage, and he was the strongest damage dealer on the team. However, before he could even see the enemy, a huge gash appeared on his waist. It was caused by something terrifying. Blood gushed out, making him look especially ferocious and terrifying.
Without immediate treatment, he would die from blood loss in three minutes.
“Holy crap!”
The middle-aged man cursed as he waved the staff in his hand and caused the surrounding temperature to plummet. The area within a twenty meters radius turned into ice.
That included his wound.
The scary wounds on his body were instantly frozen, and the blood was solidified to stop the bleeding for the time being.
However, he knew that he had no choice.
If he did not get rid of the hidden enemy, he would definitely die no matter how hard he tried to stop the bleeding.
“Is this the soul beast that the old man mentioned?”
“Why can’t I see it!?”
Just as he said that, a loud bang rang out from ahead.
Another invisible attack landed on his shield, causing the heavily armored man to stumble backward and almost fall to the ground.
“Sun Ze, can you endure it?”
“I can still hold on for a while!” Sun Ze gritted his teeth and held onto the shield tightly.
“Zhang Yi, when will your stupid spell be ready?”
“It’ll be ready soon. Don’t rush me.”
Zhang Yi was the mage in the team. After dealing with the wound on his waist, a strong aura surrounded him. It was as if he were preparing to cast a powerful spell.
“We can help you hold on for half a minute at most.”
The woman next to Zhang Yi said with a frown.
She was the archer of the group, and she held a jade-green bow in her hand. She shot out attacks in all directions based on her intuition.
“It’s done.”
Zhang Yi slowly raised the staff in his hand, and a large wave of mental power gushed out to form a huge net in the forest around them!
This net could not be seen with the naked eye. It could only be detected with one’s mental power.
Over a hundred strands wove together to form the net, covering an area of a hundred meters. The closer they got to the center, the denser the strands were.
It looked like a spider web.
In fact, this spell was based on the principles of a spiderweb.
In nature, spiderwebs were used to capture insects and small animals. When prey collided with the spiderweb, the spider would feel the slight vibration on the web and be able to determine the exact location of the prey before hunting it down.
Therefore, Zhang Yi’s Spiritual Spiderweb brought about the same effect.
When this mysterious soul beast attacked him, it would definitely come into contact with the surrounding spider webs. By then, he would be able to determine its exact location!
Buzz!
The spider web, which was formed by mental power, suddenly trembled slightly.
“It’s in the direction of your half past nine, 35 degrees above you!”
Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up as he shouted out at once. The woman next to him pulled her bowstring and shot an arrow at the target as quickly as she could.
Whoosh!
The green arrow seemed to be imbued with some sort of wind-like force.
After being shot out, the arrow actually sped up three more times in the air. The speed of the arrow increased each time the wind element surged into power.
Bang!
The arrow seemed to have hit something in the air.
Clack!
Immediately after, the arrow floated in the air and began to move horizontally at an extremely fast speed. Zhang Yi’s Spiritual Spiderweb also began to vibrate crazily.
Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly shouted, “Attack in the direction of the arrow! This arrow seems to be embedded in this soul beast’s body!”
The entire team immediately reacted. They threw all sorts of powerful skills in the direction of the arrows.
Flash Spell! Freeze Spell! Explosive Arrow! Fatal Knife! Soul Absorption!
The elements exploded in the air as everyone unleashed their skills crazily.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening booms kept ringing out from the forest. All sorts of elemental attacks gathered together to create a chain reaction. Frost, fire, and wind were everywhere. The attacks collided in the air and destroyed the surrounding forest.
The explosive bombardment lasted for three minutes.
The monster that had been invisible finally showed itself. It was a two-meter-long chameleon. It was a Level 30 elite monster.
This soul beast’s ability was invisibility. It was good at using its high movement speed to create opportunities for sneak attacks when it was invisible.
Once its invisibility was disabled, its combat ability would begin to plummet.
It was no match for the team of Awakened Ones.
Speaking of which, its luck was truly terrible. It just happened to run into Zhang Yi, who was capable of releasing spiritual cobweb. Therefore, its greatest skill lost its effect.
Right then, it lay quietly on the ground. It showed no sign of life.
Zhang Yi breathed heavily as he touched his waist with his right hand.
Due to the intense battle, the ice around his waist had shattered. Bood continued flowing out of his wound.
“It’s a good thing that we got rid of it…”
Zhang Yi shifted his gaze to the large number of rewards that had popped out from the soul beast’s corpse ahead as he endured the intense pain from his body. Iridescent sparkles of light scattered on the ground.
“Zhang Yi, there are eight [Barrow’s Souls]!” Sun Ze’s surprised voice came from ahead.
“It’s not bad…” Zhang Yi found a big rock and sat on it to treat his wounds.
The intense pain caused a twisted expression to form on his face.
After some time, he treated his wounds.
He looked at the soul beast’s corpse in front of him and muttered to himself.
“If we’re lucky, we can break the curse if we kill another soul beast …I hope nothing goes wrong. Everyone…must survive!”
