Chapter 38: Boss Team
Black clouds pressed down from above, a solitary bridge stretched straight ahead, its stone surface covered with traces of time, giving a strong sense of history.
Heavenly thunder exploded, spreading across the bridge surface. After the intense light, the surrounding light seemed to be stolen for an instant.
Torrential rain poured down. Four figures charged at full speed across the bridge. Due to their excessive speed, water mist rose wherever they passed, and the sound of air being torn was more pronounced.
As they rushed forward, the four from Fishing Village all wore solemn expressions. The pressure from Su Xiao felt like invisible hands pressing down on their shoulders and heads.
Fishing Village Second Brother crossed his arms in front of him, assuming a posture of swinging both fists back. His arms, covered in penetrating holes, became blurry—this was from ultra-high-frequency vibration. Raindrops falling on them instantly turned into steam at several hundred degrees, a high-temperature reaction caused by the ultra-frequency vibration of water molecules.
Fishing Village Second Brother swung his arms to both sides, and a sonic wave spread outward.
Buzz!
The sonic wave cleared the rain curtain within a hundred meters in an instant. The sonic shock field expanded. If one carefully observed the penetrating holes on Fishing Village Second Brother's arms, they would see the air inside vibrating into sonic vortex shapes.
The person hadn't arrived yet, but the sound came first. Su Xiao, holding his longsword, saw everything before him with double images. The four charging from Fishing Village had become forty.
Not far away, Fishing Village Second Brother suddenly stopped, crouched down, and pressed his hands together. Fishing Village Fourth Brother stopped behind him, placing one hand on his second brother's shoulder.
Buzz!!
The intensity of the sonic shock field sharply increased. Visible sound patterns appeared in the surrounding air. On the stone bridge surface, rock fragments occasionally burst up, and cracks on the bridge body grew more numerous.
Fishing Village Second Brother's ability was troublesome, and Fishing Village Fourth Brother could amplify others' abilities. Just like his life, he couldn't accomplish much alone, but when working with others, he became the ideal supporter.
Taking advantage of Su Xiao being affected by the sonic shock, Fishing Village First Brother and Third Brother, who had stopped their charge earlier due to Su Xiao's aura, simultaneously rushed toward Su Xiao.
Fishing Village First Brother was the backbone of the four. When hunting sea monsters in the past, he had to stay steady. His mouth full of metal fangs gave off a strong sense of threat.
As for Fishing Village Third Brother, he was speed-type. While charging, his figure occasionally flickered.
Fishing Village First Brother burst through a curtain of water mist and successfully closed in on Su Xiao. Although his attitude before the battle had been respectful, once the deathmatch began, he showed no courtesy at all.
Claws left black traces in the air, aimed directly at Su Xiao's neck.
'Blade Path Sword: Time.'
With a thud, a shockwave spread out. The charging Fishing Village First Brother and Third Brother both slowed down.
Within the domain of 'Time,' the double images before Su Xiao's eyes merged together. The next instant, Fishing Village First Brother's right claw swept across Su Xiao's neck.
Pfft~
Blood splattered. Fishing Village First Brother's claw was stained with blood. A flicker of surprise appeared on his face—he hadn't expected to severely wound Su Xiao so easily. To be cautious, after landing the hit, he took a step back, letting his third brother move forward.
Clang, clang, clang...
Sparks flew. Fishing Village Third Brother, who had just stepped forward, exchanged blows with Su Xiao's longsword using his clawed hands.
Looking at Su Xiao now, where was he injured? His throat, which should have been torn open, was completely unharmed.
The reason was that Su Xiao had activated his Dragon Shadow Flash ability, entering a space-penetrating state while simultaneously forming a blood-energy avatar overlapping with his semi-transparent self.
After the two overlapped, enemies could see Su Xiao penetrating space but couldn't hit him. Conversely, hidden by Su Xiao, enemies couldn't see the blood-energy avatar but could attack it.
An interesting combination emerged. After the blood-energy avatar was attacked, it could simulate the appearance of severe injury and blood spray. Imagine: the enemy was intimidated by Su Xiao's aura, but after striking, they directly inflicted a 'fatal wound' on Su Xiao.
If facing a fool, they would press the advantage. But if facing an expert, they would surely be alarmed and choose to retreat.
Once the enemy retreated, Su Xiao would immediately press forward and start dominating the fight. This move only worked on experts, not on fools.
After a few slashes suppressed Fishing Village Third Brother, Su Xiao delivered a heavy strike, clashing against the incoming claw.
Clang!
A shockwave spread. The stone bridge surface beneath Fishing Village Third Brother's feet cracked, sending up a layer of gravel. He was nearly forced to one knee by the slash. Moreover, because Su Xiao deliberately shifted his position, Fishing Village Third Brother blocked Fishing Village First Brother behind him—a common tactic Su Xiao used when outnumbered.
Su Xiao's heavy slash suppressed the enemy. Before Fishing Village Third Brother could retreat, Su Xiao delivered a straight kick.
Bang!!
Su Xiao's kick landed on Fishing Village Third Brother's chest and abdomen. A burst of air exploded from Third Brother's back, and his entire body flew backward parallel to the bridge surface.
While flying backward, Fishing Village Third Brother's skin split open all over. His chest and abdomen caved in. Broken ribs, like blooming flowers, pierced out from both armpits. Just looking at it was painful.
As Fishing Village Third Brother flew backward, he happened to crash toward Fishing Village Second Brother, who was kneeling on one knee maintaining the sonic shock field to suppress Su Xiao, and Fourth Brother behind him.
Fishing Village Second Brother had no choice but to dodge, causing the sonic shock field to disappear. The rain curtain fell again.
Fishing Village Third Brother stabbed one hand into the stone bridge surface, plowing up flying gravel. After leaving several hundred-meter-long claw marks on the bridge, he finally crashed to the ground. He sat there for several seconds, stunned by the kick. When he stood up, he left bloody footprints as he charged back toward the middle of the stone bridge.
Before Fishing Village Third Brother could return, another figure flew backward—Fishing Village Fourth Brother, now covered in several slash marks.
'Blade Path Sword: Ring Break.'
A crisp slashing sound. A ring-shaped slashing light spread across the stone bridge. Fishing Village First and Second Brothers, who were fighting Su Xiao, were knocked back.
The battle had just begun, and the four from Fishing Village were already being pushed back repeatedly.
"Big Brother, if we keep fighting like this, even if we don't get slashed, we'll be kicked off the bridge."
Fishing Village Third Brother spoke, his eyes always fixed on Su Xiao, who was over ten meters away.
"Let's begin. Mr. White Night is very strong. We'll... bet everything against him."
As soon as Fishing Village First Brother finished speaking, the four brothers each pulled out a fish-cleaning knife from their lower backs.
Seeing this, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. He had sensed something was off about the four earlier. Their displayed combat power didn't match their aura—they weren't as strong as expected. Now it seemed they had hidden a trump card.
The four didn't charge. Instead, they pressed the fish-cleaning knives against their own necks and slashed hard.
Seeing this, Su Xiao knew the situation was bad. He had to interrupt the enemy. He didn't have the habit of watching enemies transform before fighting. Those scenes in movies where people wait for the enemy to finish transforming before starting to fight were all nonsense. If you could interrupt, you should interrupt with full force. This was a life-or-death battle. If the enemy was unhappy, he would feel good. If the enemy was happy, he wouldn't be far from death.
'Blade Path Sword: Blood Blade.'
Su Xiao streaked forward as a blood shadow, simultaneously slashing out over a dozen medium and small blood-colored slashing lights.
One after another, the blood-colored slashing lights flew past but passed through the four from Fishing Village without any obstruction, failing to wound them.
Using the ultra-high-speed charge of the Blood Blade ability, Su Xiao reached the front of the four. Bean-sized raindrops fell from all around. The wet, cool air entered his nostrils. The muscles in Su Xiao's sword-wielding arm bulged slightly. The blood light in the center of his pupils became more pronounced—this was from continuously using blood-type sword techniques.
'Blade Path Sword: Slay.'
With a whoosh, a dark red slashing light chain slanted out, enveloping all four. Several muffled groans came in succession.
Gurgle~
Diving sounds appeared. Within the rain curtain, Su Xiao's gaze swept left and right. The four from Fishing Village had disappeared, leaving only bloodstains on the bridge that were gradually being washed away by the rain.
Su Xiao's perception range contracted, only sensing within ten meters around him—five meters in each direction. Don't think this perception range was short. Within this range, the sharpness of a technique-type's perception would make perception-type contractors weep with envy.
Su Xiao felt the surrounding world suddenly quiet down. The sound of rain diminished. One by one, raindrops fell into the circular perception range centered on him, causing the surrounding brightness to increase. The raindrops became crystalline, slowly changing shape as they fell, eventually shattering against the bridge surface.
The red light in the center of Su Xiao's pupils shifted toward blue, indicating he was now using more Cyan Steel Shadow Energy.
Whoosh—a blur passed through Su Xiao's perception range. He slashed out. A light blue slashing light cut through falling raindrops before flying into the sky and disappearing.
Su Xiao was certain he had missed with that slash. The four from Fishing Village were nearby, but they didn't seem to be standing on the bridge surface. He didn't know what they were relying on.
Su Xiao glanced at his side. A wound came into view. The wound was deep, reaching the bone. Blood mixed with rainwater flowed down.
The four from Fishing Village had hidden themselves in some way. After slitting their own throats, their combat power had made a qualitative leap. They seemed to have completely transformed from humans into evil ghosts. More precisely, Su Xiao felt they were four water ghosts.
Standing in the rain, Su Xiao felt a trace of fatigue. The battle had only been this long, and he had only slashed a dozen or so times. Yet he already felt tired—clearly, he had been hit by the enemy's ability.
Su Xiao first thought it was caused by the wound on his side. But after careful consideration, that seemed unlikely. So then...
Su Xiao looked up at the black clouds in the sky and the pouring rain. This rain was problematic. Being in this downpour caused continuous loss of stamina.
The wound on his side also seemed off. Based on Su Xiao's extensive experience with injuries, wounds shouldn't hurt this much when exposed to water. This felt more like being freshly wounded and thrown into the sea. In other words, the rain falling around him wasn't ordinary rainwater but seawater.
In a supernatural sense, the surrounding area had become the ocean. This meant these four water ghosts might have even overcome the terrain restriction of not being able to leave the bridge. No wonder they had chosen this place as their territory.
Assuming this place had truly become the sea in a supernatural sense, then similarly supernatural energy should be able to drift.
Invisible micron-level Spirit Shadow Threads formed in Su Xiao's left hand. He slowly released them and found that the Spirit Shadow Threads indeed drifted in the air, just like in water.
A few seconds later, the surroundings looked no different from before, but in reality, dozens of Spirit Shadow Threads crisscrossed the area. These threads were all wrapped around the five fingers of Su Xiao's left hand. Any slight touch would send energy feedback back.
A very faint energy sensation appeared on his pinky finger. Su Xiao immediately identified which corresponding Spirit Shadow Thread it was.
'Blade Path Sword: Azure Demon.'
Zheng!
A blue-green slashing light cut through. Blood suddenly splattered in the air.
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!...
Crisscrossing slashing lights struck out. Only after the enemy completely disappeared did Su Xiao stop slashing.
A sound of wind breaking came from diagonally behind him. He sidestepped to dodge. A dagger with a pinky-thick chain tied to its end flew past. The dagger's blade was covered in barbed structures, and the tip was a hooked blade stained with blood that couldn't be washed off.
Just as Su Xiao dodged the hooked blade, the chain connected to it tightened, trying to pull back.
The hooked blade retracted. Even though it hadn't hit Su Xiao, he felt intense pain in his shoulder, as if his soul was about to be torn out.
Su Xiao's soul was indeed pulled slightly out of his body. He reached back, grabbed the taut chain behind him, and pulled hard.
With a clatter, a figure was yanked out of the rain curtain. Its skin was grayish-blue, its upper body bare, the lower half of its face covered in exoskeleton, and three rows of shark fins on its back. This should be Fishing Village Second Brother.
Fishing Village Second Brother was pulled out. His other three brothers burst through the rain curtain, charging forward. They were like sharks swimming in the sea, or evil ghosts drowned in the deep ocean.
With a rumble, Fishing Village First Brother landed on the bridge surface. His deathly white pupils stared at Su Xiao, his eyes filled only with predatory ferocity. The other three were the same.
Water droplets dripped from the sword tip. Su Xiao dropped the hooked blade in his hand. He rolled his shoulder—no abnormal sensation. Fortunately, his soul strength was high; otherwise, that move would have pulled out his soul. Facing four water ghosts in pure soul form, the outcome was predictable.
With a bang, a layer of stone skin burst from the bridge surface beneath Su Xiao's feet. He disappeared from his spot, breaking through a burst of water mist and air explosion, and closed in on the four from Fishing Village.
Clang!
The longsword was blocked by Fishing Village Third Brother's dual claws. Among the other three, Second and Fourth Brothers each held a fish-cleaning knife about half a meter long. These two knives bore indelible dark red stains, having butchered countless sea monsters.
Fishing Village First Brother transformed into a ferocious shark phantom. A huge mouth full of metal fangs bit toward Su Xiao. As it approached, the charging shark grew larger and larger.
Su Xiao knew that trying to kick the four off the bridge was now meaningless. For these four water ghosts, the surrounding rain curtain was the ocean.
A stinging sensation in his perception appeared across his entire upper body. The moment the two fish-cleaning knives and the ferocious shark simultaneously attacked, Su Xiao entered a space-penetrating state and stepped forward. After all attacks passed through him harmlessly, he exited the space-penetrating state and delivered a straight kick toward Fishing Village Third Brother in front.
Bang!!
Fishing Village Third Brother was sent flying backward. Su Xiao chased after him toward the inner side of the stone bridge.
Pfft.
A water spike pierced through Su Xiao's side. He didn't even look. Instead, the moment Fishing Village Third Brother landed, Su Xiao pounced down, stabbing his longsword downward. Forget the other three water ghosts for now—catch this one and beat it to death first, then fight the remaining three.
With a scraping sound, Dragon-Slaying Flash stabbed into the stone bridge surface. Fishing Village Third Brother barely dodged by twisting his body.
'Blade Path Sword: Time.'
Thud~
An invisible shockwave spread. Fishing Village Third Brother's speed slowed down. The three attacking from behind Su Xiao were similarly affected.
Pfft.
The longsword slashed through Fishing Village Third Brother's throat. Broken exoskeleton and blood splattered everywhere. As the slash was delivered, Su Xiao tilted his head to dodge Fishing Village Third Brother's claw aimed at his head.
A follow-up slash severed Fishing Village Third Brother's entire right arm. Then, Su Xiao brought the longsword behind his back, blocking and deflecting a stabbing fish-cleaning knife with a clang.
Blood spears formed one after another. Su Xiao controlled these blood spears to attack the three enemies behind him. Whether they missed or were blocked by weapons, these blood spears would explode near the enemies, blasting Fishing Village First Brother and the others back repeatedly.
Su Xiao ignored these three and continued focusing on Fishing Village Third Brother. After severing his arm, Su Xiao gathered a massive blood beast behind him, which pounced on Fishing Village Third Brother.
"Roar!!"
The blood beast's roar blasted away the rain curtain. Su Xiao did this deliberately to prevent Fishing Village Third Brother from escaping through the rain curtain.
The blood beast pounced on Fishing Village Third Brother. Blood energy exploded. Fishing Village Third Brother's chest was blasted open. He staggered backward, feeling bitter—he couldn't understand why the enemy was only beating him.
'Blade Path Sword: Flow.'
An elegant wind mark cut through. Fishing Village Third Brother's retreating steps faltered. Then, a blood mark appeared on his neck.
With a thud, Fishing Village Third Brother's head hit the ground. His headless body, spurting blood, collapsed. Fishing Village Third Brother was dead.
Su Xiao stepped forward and kicked both the headless body and head off the bridge. He sensed them tracked them falling into the darkness beneath the bridge, being decomposed. Only then did he stop the blood spear output, turning his gaze to Fishing Village First Brother and the others.
Was it an illusion, or had Fishing Village First Brother grown taller than before?
Fishing Village First Brother didn't speak. He stepped back. Beside him, Fishing Village Second and Fourth Brothers charged at Su Xiao.
Su Xiao's sense of crisis instantly maxed out. His entire body's perception warning felt like needles stabbing.
He pulled the Dead Silence Annihilation from the air, aiming it at Fishing Village Second Brother.
Bang, bang, bang...
After five consecutive shots, Fishing Village Second Brother's head was blown apart by annihilation bullets. Two bowl-sized holes appeared in his chest, the surrounding flesh corroded like rotten wood shavings.
The charging Fishing Village Second Brother collapsed onto the bridge, falling into the darkness to be decomposed.
After dealing with Fishing Village Second Brother, Su Xiao didn't relax at all. Ignoring the slight pain in his right arm from using 'Flow,' he sheathed his longsword, locking his aura on the charging Fishing Village Fourth Brother.
'Blade Path Sword: Flow.'
Zheng!
An elegant wind mark flashed by, not straight but with a graceful curve. Fishing Village Fourth Brother, charging at full speed, was decapitated but still kept coming.
Slap.
Countless water spikes burst forth. Su Xiao raised one arm in front of his face, his entire body wrapped in a crystal layer.
The crystal layer retracted. Several twenty-centimeter-long water spikes were stuck in Su Xiao's body.
As Fishing Village Fourth Brother died completely, the water spikes on Su Xiao turned into water and flowed down, blood dyeing the water red.
Of the four from Fishing Village, Su Xiao had killed three. These evil ghosts all shared a common trait: even in death, they had to bite the enemy hard.
Only Fishing Village First Brother remained across from him. He hadn't charged together earlier—a very correct decision.
By now, Fishing Village First Brother had transformed from his original 1.75-meter height to over 2.5 meters. This was the most troublesome aspect of the Four-Life Evil Ghost: each time one died, the remaining one became harder to deal with. The current Fishing Village First Brother had gathered all the power of the four brothers.
Fishing Village First Brother held a fish-cleaning knife in each hand. In addition to his mouth full of metal fangs, he had grown two extra arms with sharp claws.
Second and Fourth Brothers' weapons, Third Brother's razor-like claws—all concentrated on Fishing Village First Brother.
Fishing Village First Brother charged into the water curtain. When he reappeared, he was on the inner side of the stone bridge, blocking Su Xiao's path to the central area.
The rain poured down. Fishing Village First Brother's aura surged. A sea monster phantom with layers of sharp teeth appeared above him.
Seeing this, Su Xiao knew the enemy was going for a decisive blow. He sheathed his longsword, slightly lowered his stance, and channeled most of his blood energy onto Dragon-Slaying Flash. This was the strongest slash he could deliver among his blood-type techniques.
'Blade Path Sword: Blood Shadow.'
On the stone bridge, Su Xiao and Fishing Village First Brother simultaneously charged at each other. This wasn't a clash of ultimate moves but about ensuring one's own ability hit while dodging the enemy's ability as much as possible.
'Furious Shark.'
Fishing Village First Brother transformed into a furious shark charging forward. Its bloody mouth opened to the maximum. A blood line met it head-on, streaked into the shark's mouth, and burst out from within. Then, a massive blood-colored figure holding a several-meter-long blood longsword appeared. It gripped the sword with both hands and slashed through the furious shark.
Zheng!
A crisp slashing sound rang through the sky. The pouring rain curtain abruptly stopped.
With a thud, Fishing Village First Brother, diagonally cut in two from chest to abdomen, collapsed onto the bridge surface. The money pouch at his waist was slashed open, scattering silver coins. One coin was about to roll off the bridge when a bloodstained claw pressed it down.
"Mr. White Night, I wish you... success."
After saying this, Fishing Village First Brother grabbed the bridge edge with one hand, pulled hard, and pulled himself off the bridge.
Su Xiao stopped by the bridge edge, watching Fishing Village First Brother fall.
After falling a hundred meters, Fishing Village First Brother landed in the darkness. Lying there, as his body gradually decomposed, he raised his left arm and pinched a bloodstained silver coin between his thumb and forefinger. He had originally thought that working for Su Xiao would bring a good life to his elderly parents, wife, and children, maybe even moving to a big city. But later, he found everything was illusory. Some things were already fated. The complete outbreak of blood turbidity syndrome had taken everything from him.
Ding~
Fishing Village First Brother flicked the silver coin with his thumb. It flew a hundred meters up and was caught by Su Xiao by the bridge with a slap. Fishing Village First Brother had flicked up this coin for no special reason—just a souvenir.
Su Xiao slowly exhaled. His strength was certainly greater than the Four-Life Evil Ghost. The problem was that these four from Fishing Village were extremely good at trading injuries.
What Su Xiao didn't know was that the Four-Life Evil Ghost he had chosen to deal with was not on the same level as Death Shadow Diuk or the Five Royal Descendants. The Four-Life Evil Ghost was a cut above those.
Opening the team channel, Su Xiao spoke.
White Night: "Four-Life Evil Ghost eliminated."
Wood: "Five Royal Descendants eliminated."
...
Great Ruins, North Side.
Wood stood beside a pile of corpses, all wearing red robes.
"Lucky."
Wood's clothes were neat. He had indeed been lucky this time. Compared to the Four-Life Evil Ghost, the Five Royal Descendants were pathetically weak. Apart from being able to transform from five royal descendants into five hundred royal descendants, they had no impressive abilities.
...
Great Ruins, Southwest Direction.
Blood-soaked Yule lay on the ground, a greatsword piercing through his chest, pinning him down.
The corpse-like Yule suddenly sat up, pulling the greatsword from his chest with one hand. He sighed and said:
"Too bad. She was my type."
Yule's words received no response. If Holy Warrior Fenwei, lying nearby covered in arrows, were still alive, she would definitely tell Yule to get lost. Young and already not learning good things. Talked nicely, but his actions were the cruelest.
...
Great Ruins, Northwest Direction.
This was a ruined palace. The scene inside was simply horrifying.
The hall was filled with severed limbs and various organs. This was the peak showdown between two 'regeneration freaks.' Queen Siglian was frantically self-harming and synchronizing the damage to the enemy. Zuiyasi accepted everything, regenerating wherever he was injured.
Now, Queen Siglian lay among the severed limbs, her eyes dim and lifeless. Zuiyasi waded through blood water, stepped forward, and kicked Queen Siglian's face.
"That's it? I haven't had my fill yet."
Zuiyasi spoke.
"Don't go too far."
The speaker wasn't Queen Siglian but Ona from within the twisted cross pendant.
Hearing this, Zuiyasi rubbed the twisted cross with his thumb. After 'handling his wife,' he looked at Queen Siglian and said, "Wife, you don't know. I really crave her body."
"You f*cking... I... you... ah!! Just wait until we get home."
Ona was so angry she couldn't speak properly. Zuiyasi crouched down, raised his hand, and pressed it on Queen Siglian's face. What he called 'craving her body' meant devouring Queen Siglian to enhance his own undying trait.
...
Great Ruins, Southeast Direction.
This was an underground building. A long corridor was lit by firelight. An old stone chair sat against the wall. Solomon sat on the stone chair, holding a wine glass in his left hand and an open ancient book in his right.
To the right of the stone chair was a lich. To the left was a vampire maid. The vampire maid's aura was not weak—ordinary eighth-rank contractors were no match for her.
At this moment, the vampire maid held a bottle of wine, anxiously serving on the side. The lich also seemed somewhat anxious.
From the doorway not far away came rumbling sounds. Numerous high-level undead, hell knights, death lords, and bloodthirsty death gods were inside, in a chaotic battle with Death Shadow Diuk.
Solomon, sitting steadily on the stone chair, closed the book in his hand, pulled out a pocket watch, glanced at it, and frowned, saying, "Too slow."
Solomon was very dissatisfied with the battle situation. Su Xiao had already finished on his side. And the Four-Life Evil Ghost he had dealt with was much stronger than the Death Shadow Diuk Solomon was facing.
Hearing this, the vampire maid beside him was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She said urgently:
"Hell and the others will eliminate the enemy soon! Master, give them another three minutes, just three minutes."
The vampire maid was a bit emotional. The lich beside her wanted to speak but hesitated, going "Ah, this, ah, this" repeatedly.
The vampire maid felt 'despair' at this moment. She wanted to post an inquiry: "My master is too strong. He's a necromancy summoner, yet stronger than all his summons. What should I do?"
The place where the summons lived was also a world. Necromancy was quite traditional and conservative. In the 'necromancy circle,' if the master was stronger than the summons, it wasn't just embarrassing—it meant they couldn't show their faces outside.
Hell knights, death lords, bloodthirsty death gods, liches, vampire maids—they all faced this problem. Their master was stronger than any single one of them.
The current situation was that if the summons hadn't been holding back, Death Shadow Diuk would have already been sent to his death by Solomon.
Solomon had apparently realized a truth: if you can't fight yourself, what kind of necromancy grandmaster are you? Necromancy grandmaster = a grandmaster who can fight better than all the undead under his command.
Every time an enemy broke through the various summons' barriers and reached Solomon, their fate was no better than those contractors who mistook Su Xiao for a summoner.
...
End of the Stone Bridge.
After crossing the stone bridge, Su Xiao gazed into the distance at the ultra-giant snail shell. The Water Mother and the [Talent Awakening Device] were inside there.
As soon as Su Xiao set foot in the central area, he received a notification.
[Notification: You have arrived at the central area. This is the location of the Water Mother.]
[To achieve [Achievement: Curb the Aberration], you need to wait for the Son of Fate, Yule, to arrive.]
[To achieve [Achievement: No High-Altitude Object Throwing], you need to wait for more than half of the team members to arrive before fighting inside the giant snail shell.]
[Notification: The Water Mother is the core unit of this area. Kill rewards are distributed in team-sharing mode (except for suspected slackers, Aidoer Papa).]
...
Seeing these notifications, Su Xiao decided to wait a bit. This was triggered by a previous team mission. If he had known, dealing with the Four-Life Evil Ghost seemed somewhat disadvantageous? But after looking at the kill rewards, he didn't feel it was a loss.
In less than ten minutes, Wood, Zuiyasi, Yule, and Solomon all arrived. As for Bubu Wang, it was still carrying Aidoer in the outer area, pulling a train of enemies.
The boss team had gathered. They advanced toward the ultra-giant snail shell ahead. With such a lineup, the Water Mother's psychological shadow area must be considerable.
