Chapter 406 - The Ghoul That Was Still Growing
"Break!"
James roared and used all his strength to ruthlessly slash at the blood line.
Pa!
A clear sound was heard from the blood line.
Then, it broke into two pieces with a loud bang.
When the crowd saw that James" attack had succeeded, they were instantly overjoyed.
Why?
If so many of them couldn"t even break the blood line of the Ghoul, then how could they kill the Ghoul?
They might as well clean up as soon as possible and wait for the Ghoul to come knocking on their door!
But now?
James had cut off the Ghoul"s blood vein, and everyone regained their confidence.
"I thought it was really hard, but it was finally cut off!"
"Indeed, James" attack is strong enough."
"Everyone, you can"t run anymore. You can only fight, or else you"ll be killed one by one like Bale," someone suggested.
"Yes! That"s right. We can"t run anymore. The Ghoul"s magic seems to be infinite. It has been so long and I still haven"t seen its fatigue!"
"That"s right. We can"t wait any longer. As long as we can"t run out of this catacomb, we will never be able to avoid a direct battle with the Ghoul. I would rather stand and die than die from being sucked dry of blood!"
"Me too. Even if I die, I"ll bite off the flesh of the Ghoul!"
"Let"s go all out. Who cares? If we don"t die, you die or I die. The rules of the catacombs world say that once we fail, we won"t be able to escape. We might as well go all out. We might even have a chance of survival!"
"But, everyone, how do we make our move?"
Someone looked at the excited crowd and couldn"t help but give a blow.
Indeed, there weren"t many people left.
If they continued to lose, they might not even be able to turn the tables.
As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
They all agreed with this person"s words.
Why?
Because the Ghoul could fly.
Of course, being able to fly wasn"t the only advantage of the Ghoul. There were also quite a number of people present who could fly.
Moreover, once they cast wind magic, they could also fly for a short period of time.
But now, the crux of the matter was the gigantic blood lake behind the Ghoul!
As long as they didn"t get rid of it, no one would be able to withstand such a large area of blood lake once it crashed down.
Furthermore, if they wanted to kill the Ghoul, they had to get close, but they wouldn"t be able to avoid being threatened by the blood lake.
Therefore, this was an unsolvable situation!
Someone suddenly spoke up.
"James, you said that this crypt creature is afraid of fire. It was G.o.d Klein who told you that. Did he say anything else?"
Just as he said that, everyone looked at James.
The only one who could resolve this crisis was Klein!
Otherwise, they would have to use a large amount of their lives to test the weakness of the Ghoul.
Furthermore, it was difficult to guarantee that they would be able to find it.
James shook his head helplessly as he looked at everyone.
"No, flames are the weakness of the Ghoul!"
"What?"
Everyone immediately shouted.
"That"s impossible! How powerful is G.o.d Klein?"
"That"s right! We can"t take it down even with so many of us, but Klein took it down by himself. Then, how powerful is he?"
"No, no, no, I can"t believe it. If that"s the case, how strong is Klein?"
"That"s right. There are two bosses in this catacomb. One is the Blood Ape, and it attacks at close range, while the other is the Ghoul"s long-range attack. Not to mention the Ghoul, we even lost quite a few people when we took down the Blood Ape."
James naturally knew that everyone was in disbelief.
However, he couldn"t tolerate these people insulting G.o.d Klein!
Therefore, he had no choice but to explain once again.
"Everyone, did G.o.d Klein give the right information regarding the previous Blood Ape?"
Everyone fell silent.
They couldn"t help but think of the Blood Ape.
Indeed.
If it wasn"t for the information Klein gave them, the number of people present would have been halved.
Why?
Because although the Blood Ape had a fatal weakness, it was a fatal weakness for those who didn"t know.
If they wanted to catch it, they would have to sacrifice a large number of lives.
However, because Klein"s information had reduced their losses to the minimum.
Therefore, from this point of view, Klein"s information was absolutely correct.
James saw that everyone was silent and spoke again.
"I feel that we can"t defeat the Ghoul. It"s not that G.o.d Klein"s information is wrong, but our strength is insufficient!"
"Since the information given to us by G.o.d Klein is useless, there"s only one way now, and that is to risk it all!"
James spoke with killing intent.
After saying that, everyone fell silent again.
It wasn"t that easy to obtain information. Every piece of information required a large number of people"s lives to fill in, so who would fill in the blanks?
At this moment, Bale woke up. From the discussions of the people around him, he knew that James had saved him, so he gave him a grateful look.
James nodded and was about to speak.
But at this moment, the Ghoul looked at everyone and smiled.
Everyone"s gaze was once again attracted over.
But when they saw the Ghoul, everyone"s expression changed!
Why?
Because after the Ghoul absorbed three or four of their essence qi, its flesh and blood had become even fuller.
In some places, it seemed as if there was blood flowing inside.
When they saw this scene, everyone"s expressions changed drastically.
"Holy s.h.i.t, this Ghoul can still grow?"
"d.a.m.n it, no wonder it insists on absorbing those people"s essence qi! So it"s doing this?"
"Everyone, since it can grow, then we can"t wait any longer. We can only go. Now we still have a chance. Once the Ghoul grows, we have no chance at all!"
James was also very shocked.
He knew very well that he couldn"t let the Ghoul grow any longer, or else this group of people would die here in the end!
Thus, after James finished speaking, he directly picked up the epic-grade weapon and rushed towards the Ghoul.
Seeing that James actually rushed over, the Ghoul licked its lips and revealed a smile. Then, it stretched out its hand towards James and said, "Secret Skill: Penetrate the Heart Blood Vein."
After saying that, five blood veins stretched out from the five fingers of the Ghoul and went straight towards James.
Seeing the blood lines, James frowned. He naturally knew how powerful the blood lines were, so he did not dare to fight head-on. He picked up the epic weapon and slashed at one of the blood lines. Then, he did not dare to stop and quickly moved to the side.
However, it was clear that the Ghoul did not intend to give him any chance to catch his breath. Therefore, the five blood veins turned their heads in the air and once again headed toward James.
The five blood veins were divided into five directions in the air, aiming at James" head, face, hands, feet, and so on.
The blood veins were moving at a very fast speed, and James was using up all his strength at the moment.
The attacks from the five directions sealed off all of James" evasive positions.
"d.a.m.n it!"
Seeing that the blood line was getting closer and closer, James gritted his teeth and directly struck one of the blood lines.
