Chapter 2456 Waning
After spending such a long time clearing out the Lickers, a ma.s.sive new wave of zombie creatures was summoned?
Was there truly no end to this?
Moreover, the number of these zombie creatures was so vast that they nearly filled the entire field of vision with their dense ranks!
"Hold steady!"
Karolina shouted, trying to calm her team.
"Hold steady, deal with them slowly, don"t rush. The zombie creatures are far weaker than the Lickers."
Karolina"s words temporarily restored calm to the team.
Indeed, the zombie creatures were significantly weaker than the Lickers in terms of mobility and attack power.
However, their high HP and self-recovery capabilities were still troublesome!
With no way to escape the densely packed zombie horde, even trying to retreat now would be difficult without carving a path through the ma.s.s.
In the distance, Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang exchanged looks, their eyes reflecting their astonishment.
So many!
From their perspective, the Holy Realm team of over a hundred people seemed like a drop in the ocean amidst the sea of zombies.
The endless tide of zombies continued to surge toward the center, wearing down the already dwindling strength of the Holy Realm team.
Fang Heng stood on the periphery of the Holy Realm team and observed for a moment.
Such a densely packed horde of zombies would keep the Holy Court occupied for quite a while.
Continue!
Old tactics!
Fang Heng once again entered the Holy Court team"s periphery in his Death G.o.d form, blending into the zombie horde and persistently hara.s.sing the Holy Realm knights.
...
As time pa.s.sed, the zombie horde was rapidly depleted under the holy brilliance spell.
Fang Heng couldn"t help but admire the Holy Realm team in his heart.
Their strength was indeed formidable.
If it had been another team, they would have crumbled long ago.
Yet, the Holy Realm team was still managing to maintain substantial combat strength.
After more than an hour of continuous fighting, a significant portion of the fifty thousand zombies had been cleared.
At the same time, the strength of the Holy Realm team was gradually being worn down by the ongoing battle.
Their mental state had noticeably declined compared to earlier.
"Focus! We"re almost there, just a little longer and we"ll clear out the zombies!"
Karolina shouted to her team, keeping the majority of her attention focused on Fang Heng.
Once the undead creatures were dealt with, Fang Heng would be the next target!
He wouldn"t be able to escape!
Huh?!
What!
Karolina"s brow furrowed tightly.
Suddenly, dark magic arrays appeared around the spot where Fang Heng"s Death G.o.d form had just vanished.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Lickers began to emerge from the magic arrays!
More?!
For the third time!
Karolina locked her gaze on Fang Heng again, her heart sinking.
Dark magic arrays continued to manifest around Fang Heng.
The Holy Realm forces, who had barely managed to hold on until now, were on the brink of breaking down upon seeing more Lickers continuously emerging from the magic arrays.
How were these zombie creatures continuing to appear endlessly? Why could they not be killed?
Fang Heng glanced indifferently at the game hints.
[Hint: The player"s zombie clones (Licker form) have been resurrected.]
[Hint: The player"s zombie clones (Licker form) have been resurrected...]
As the level increased, the resurrection time of the zombies gradually decreased, now completing a revival in just under two and a half hours.
So...
The sporadic appearance of Lickers wasn"t due to new summons by Fang Heng but was rather the result of automatic resurrection after the cooldown!
Hehe!
Fang Heng wanted to laugh.
How"s that for coincidence?
Just as his newly leveled-up zombie horde was nearly cleared by the Holy Realm team, the two-and-a-half-hour resurrection cooldown was completed, and the newly revived Lickers immediately surged back toward the Holy Realm forces.
It was perfectly timed!
Right when the Holy Realm team was unable to completely clear the zombies. Victory was just within reach.
This was truly a perfect cycle!
Karolina concentrated her perception on the summoned creatures around her.
Unlike the previous waves, this time the Lickers summoned by Fang Heng were not in bursts but appeared in a continuous stream.
There seemed to be no end in sight.
Karolina had a strong intuition.
Fang Heng still had reserves.
He might even have some hidden tricks left.
The Holy Realm team was being pushed to its breaking point.
Despite the Holy Realm team"s strong will and stable condition, a normal team would have collapsed under such relentless pressure.
Fang Heng!
Karolina stared at Fang Heng, who was now in his Death G.o.d form, her eyes filled with deep wariness.
Could they not do anything about him?
"Let"s withdraw."
Karolina commanded with a raised hand.
This was a decision she made after thorough consideration of the pros and cons.
Give up!
After more than two hours of continuous fighting, under the influence of the shady line aura, the team"s stamina and mental strength had been depleted significantly.
Fang Heng"s summoned creatures couldn"t be cleared out in the short term, and even if they continued to hold on, capturing Fang Heng would be impossible.
It was better to retreat while they still had a chance!
The Holy Realm team began to change their formation and retreat as ordered.
Whoosh!
In his Death G.o.d form, Fang Heng reappeared at the team"s periphery, swinging his scythe forward once more.
"Bang!"
The knight of the Holy Realm, ever vigilant, raised his shield to block the attack.
After taking his shot, Fang Heng retreated again, observing the retreating Holy Realm team with a sense of determination.
Finally!
Trying to run?
Not so easily!
Everyone here was staying put!
A murderous glint appeared in Fang Heng"s eyes.
As the team withdrew, Fang Heng exited his Death G.o.d form and quickly formed a seal in front of him.
A summoning magic array appeared before him.
"Phantom shadow rat!"
A black shadow swiftly climbed onto Fang Heng"s shoulder, puffing up its cheeks and releasing a thick, black mist.
"Whoosh!"
The mist mingled with the cold, deathly aura around them and rushed toward the Holy Realm team.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The outer defensive shield crackled loudly with the impact.
Karolina turned back, her gaze cold as she watched Fang Heng obstructing their exit from the grotto.
What"s he up to?
She realized Fang Heng had not left but continued to hara.s.s their team, even blocking their path and slowing their progress.
Fang Heng!
Did he intend to keep them here?
Karolina"s pupils contracted sharply, anger flashing in her eyes as she commanded, "Deal with him!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Dense beams of divine light rained down on Fang Heng"s position.
Fang Heng"s expression changed slightly.
He couldn"t retreat.
This was the area most affected by the shady aura, the best battlefield for him.
Facing the dense divine light beams, Fang Heng formed another seal in front of him.
Skill—Eternal Tree Realm!
In the next moment, thick vines and branches erupted from the ground beneath Fang Heng, rapidly extending and growing, creating a ma.s.sive expanse of trees around him.
