Chapter 957 - A Major Loss (2/2)

The ground was barren with no life form. There were a few shrubs, and a few pale white flowers hanging on it that gave out an eerie ambiance.

“Sir System, can you contact the others in real-time and ask them about the current situation?” Fang Ning quickly asked, the last words of the voice still lingering in his head.

“What do you think? In this hell of a place, only the frog that can teleport everyone at the same time can do that. Even if it couldn’t do it back in World of Deadly Souls, I’m pretty sure it could now. Axiom Daddy gave it quite a lot of benefits during the last few deals. It has gotten a lot stronger, and that’s all because it took away something that’s supposedly mine,” Sir System said sulkily.

Fang Ning was skeptical, then he called out to green-skinned frog with his inner voice, “Lil Frog, how’s everyone over there?”

Green-skinned frog responded. “Master, all of them are either dead or wounded. After the teleportation, there was a space interference. These people were scattered throughout the World of Spirits and Souls, in which they encountered different crises.”

“Bodhisattva’s safe and well. The spirits are gone now. He’s roaming around the World of Spirits and Souls to assess the situation.”

“Fawang has lost his golden body that he obtained after undergoing a long process of tempering in the Lower Realm. He has escaped from a group of Yang-siphoning Yin spirits and is now resting in a secluded place.”

“Monastery Master Ma lost most of his magical energy, his power level has gone down from Sea-level to Lake-level. He has escaped to a mountain cave somewhere, and he’s currently on the verge of death.”

“Qiao Anping died in the battle, the young people left behind fled to a village from the spectral grounds. They were fortunate to have a kind-hearted Spirit King offering them shelter and protection.”

“The Spirit and Souls Clan have deserted to Vigorous Spirit Lord.”

“None of the demons survived, but the ones who came in were the young demons who were not that competent.”

Green-skinned frog explained everything in great detail.

“What? A ruthless man like Qiao Anping died in the battle?” Fang Ning could not believe what he heard. “Also, I thought Old Monastery Ma was just pretending to be a Sea-level powerhouse all along?”

Fang Ning was taken aback by the information that was thrown to him in succession.

Sure enough, on the ever-changing battlefield, life and death could only be a moment apart.

Who would have expected that the brave and vigorous Qiao Anping, who cultivated the path of Sanguinity and all along a powerhouse representative of the mainland died in a battle.

“He’s soft-hearted after all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have died as long as he was willing to abandon those who were of no help and was holding him back. That’s just unfortunate. What is going to happen to Qiao Zishan and the rest of his siblings now?” Fang Ning shook his head and sighed.

“I’m as helpless as you are now that my comrade’s gone,” Sir System said sullenly, “Too bad the Spirit Lord sent the god-damn bones to stall me. If it wasn’t for Culinary God, I would’ve fled in an instant …Let alone them.”

Fang Ning nodded in silence. They had been attacked successively after they entered Human Skull Mound. He and Sir System were so occupied and as a result, there were lot of casualties.

Apparently, the danger in the Upper Realm was not something that the powerhouse on Earth could contend with. Only an irrational existence like Sir System could take on a great challenge like this.

Sir System might seem like it was only Inland-sea level, but all the main aspects of combat power like mobility, defense, and attack, were enhanced by the bonus skills of the system.

Its attack powers could go up to multiples of hundred, its mobility reached the level of teleportation, its defense was Heavenly Axiom Treasure, and there was a soul of a true god in his think tank team. Many of these off-site factors allowed it to fight a being stronger than it and destroyed the monster that was formed from the skeleton of a true god.

However, it only defeated a puppet in the end.

The real BOSS Spirit Lord who was really behind all these did not show up, nor did he interfere. This was a doubtful point.

Why didn’t the Spirit Lords gather their forces and strike?

Otherwise, even if the many factors above were taken into account, Fang Ning believed Sir System could only escape as a last resort. After all, all these Spirit Lords had powers equivalent to a true god.

They were at least Planet-level and above, Starshatter was not a figment of imagination.

Other powerhouses did not have these favorable factors. Their current power level was just like the level 30 players who just got rid of their rookie title, but they were suddenly thrown into the huge stumbling block of level 60. Heavy casualties were normal, it would be abnormal if it was the opposite.

Fang Ning thought of this and let out a long sigh. Then, he asked green-skinned frog about the current location of everyone and let Sir System deal with the aftermath.

Vigilante A pointed his sword into the sky, then he started looking for the people according to the locations given by green-skinned frog.

“If the frog had been so powerful the last time, we wouldn’t have wasted time trying to locate using the little grey ants.” Fang Ning looked at the scene in front of him and sighed.

Sir System found Monastery Master Ma who had a faint breath of life left

in a hidden mountain cave, then it fed him a pill to save his life. Then it found Tianjing Fawang who was wearing a cassock recuperating in a shrub…

…

After half a day of doing this repeatedly, the ones who entered the divine gate, they were initially forty of them, but it only managed to find nineteen of them. Adding up the traitors and the deaths, they were more than half of them!
