892 The innermost part of Taihu Territory! (1/2)
It was foggy.
When the vivid figures appeared one after another, everyone was so terrified that they could hardly control themselves. The injury on the person's body was horrifying; the body that had been pierced, and the almost rotten limbs gave the crowd goosebumps. These people turned out to be dead bodies!
”It's Xiao Ning!”
A world esper suddenly shouted in fright after recognizing one of the figures.
Everyone looked toward the direction his finger was pointing at. On a small boat, there was a man with only half of his body remaining. It was the man that the dark fish previously swallowed. From his decaying body, one could see what he experienced with the dark fish. He was tortured so badly that half of his body was gone!
He was their teammate!
With over twenty people, they were all teammates that died earlier. At this time, they all came.
Were they dead or alive?
Everyone looked at each other in horror.
What happened?
How could they be here? Could it be they drifted here by the waves or...
”There are no signs of life.”
Su Hao looked at the empty 2D map and frowned slightly. Why? No one would have thought that there would be this horrifying scene awaiting them just after entering the innermost part of Taihu Territory.
It seems that exploring this unexplored region of Taihu Territory isn't easy.
”It should probably because of the current bringing them here.” A world esper tried to comfort himself with a smile.
”Maybe it's just an illusion.” Another man voiced out.
”Yes, yes. If not, then it must be some mirage.”
Others also even joined in for a laugh.
However, their discussion seemed to have triggered those figures on the small boats. They noticed the shadows moving slightly because of their laughter, which made them open their eyes wide.
”Damn!”
”Alive... They're alive!”
The crowd was scared by this scene and retreated.
No one could describe this feeling, the feeling of being watched by dozens of dead bodies...
Countless boundary spirits appeared.
The crowd immediately entered their combat state. With boundary spirits floating around them, they stared cautiously at those figures and nearly bit off their tongue.
Damn it, what kind of situation is this?!
However, even so, no one dared to make the first move!
It wasn't because these are the bodies of their dead teammates, but this strange situation made them not dare take the first move. Who knew what it would lead to?
”What do we do?”
Everyone looked at Su Hao subconsciously.
”Let me see.” Su Hao's eyes swept across those bodies as if he was finding the source that supported their movement. Since they're not living things...
”Model establishment!”
Su Hao created a model out of a corpse.
A character model appeared within his mind. Rows of data appeared, but the model created was a completely dead object and couldn't be moved.
”Something is missing.” Su Hao frowned slightly.
The model he built showed only one conclusion; it was a dead body and a dead body that can no longer die again. It had nothing to do with whether it could move or not. In other words, what supported their actions should be some other thing or some sort of mysterious force.
Is someone behind this?
Or something else...
Crack~
Crack~
The dead bodies became more active.
The boundary spirits surrounding everyone may erupt at any moment. Su Hao shook his head slightly, ”I can't find any reason, but they are indeed corpses. They should be driven or controlled by some kind of external force, just like how you all are able to control boundary spirits. It's definitely not like the resurrection of a soul or something.”
”Phew~”
Everyone sighed in relief.
It's just something controlling them?
This was still within their scope of acceptance. In this era of origin ability, they had seen too many magical talents. Not to mention, most of the spiritual type talents involve manipulation. Even living people could be controlled, let alone dead bodies. As long as it's not a soul coming back to life, that would be fine.
”Then that's easy to handle.” King of Fire said with a smile, ”They couldn't even pass through the hurdle while being alive. On what qualification do they have to be arrogant when they are dead? With our current strength, won't it be easy to kill them?”
Twenty-five against twenty-five.
A group of fifty people arrived at the innermost part of Taihu Territory. Half of them were dead and now stood on the opposition.
Their first opponents were their former teammates.
”Kill!”
Deductions and calculations weren't his forte, but when it comes to pure combat, King of Fire was the best. After Su Hao's judgement, King of Fire led everyone to attack. On the small boats, those familiar figures also jumped out and clashed with them. In fact, the dead ones were actually stronger than before.
However, just as what King of Fire said, what could you do now that you're dead?
Except for those few tough world espers that were handled by King of Fire and the others, the rest and even the domain espers weren't an issue. Under their joint attack, it was just a moment of effort before everyone defeated these corpses.
Swish~
Those boats were turned over and destroyed.
”Phew~”
Everyone sighed in relief.
In particular, King of Fire and the others wiped off their sweat. Although most of the dead bodies were useless, those few dead world espers that failed to breakthrough and the one who got tricked by Su Hao earlier were extremely powerful. It took quite an effort before they managed to be killed.
”You did a great job there.” King of Fire couldn't help but say.
”You should be glad that you're not on the other side.” Su Hao said indifferently, which caused King of Fire to almost vomit blood.
