Chapter 117 - Ghost Attack, Lightning Tower
n
n
n
nEveryone stood up immediately.
n
nSilver Fox scratched his head. “Didn’t they say that there was a medium-sized beast tide yesterday? Logically speaking, there should be a medium-sized beast tide every three to five days. It’s most unlikely for there to be one today.”
n
nBlack said indifferently, “Recently, many strange changes have appeared on the Little Spirit Mountain. The number of beast tides has increased, so it’s reasonable.”
n
nBai Xinghe said solemnly, “Let’s hurry to the nearest east wall to provide support.”
n
nEveryone nodded and immediately placed the unfinished food and water into the storage compartment. They pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
n
nWhen they walked out of the room, they saw many panicked martial artists rush out of many rooms.
n
nSome rushed out without even putting on their pants.
n
nSome of them had red spicy oil all over their mouths and mouths.
n
nSome sleepy-eyed martial artists even rushed out with broomsticks in their hands as they shouted in their pajamas, “It’s time to make a name for ourselves!” Then, he rushed towards the east wall.
n
nMost of these martial artists were civilians and had not undergone professional training.
n
nIn contrast, the members of the Construction Division were in another residence.
n
nHearing the alarm, everyone quickly put on their equipment in more than ten seconds and rushed out of the room in unison. They quickly formed a team and rushed towards the east wall.
n
nAlong the way, a group of civilian martial artists also very consciously made way for them.
n
nLin Xuan and the others followed behind these members of the Construction Division and quickly climbed up the east wall.
n
nStanding on the eastern city wall, Lin Xuan looked down. All he could see were faint green dots.
n
nOn careful look, those were not green dots. They were clearly pairs of eyes!
n
nUnder these eyes, the noses and mouths were almost no different from human features.
n
nUnder the sparse starlight, Lin Xuan discovered that their bodies were very illusory, as if they were floating in the air.
n
nOf course, other than these human-shaped ghosts, there were also many beast-shaped ghosts.
n
nHowever, strangely, these ghosts gathered from all directions and surrounded the third gathering place, but they did not attack for a long time, as if they were waiting for something.
n
nThe martial artists standing on the city wall instinctively felt a little scared. Being stared at by so many empty and sinister eyes, everyone was a little afraid.
n
nThey kept feeling that something bad was about to happen.
n
n“A ghost?” Lin Xuan was stunned.
n
nHe did not expect the ones attacking the city to be such demon beasts.
n
nYe Yuqiu was standing beside him. Seeing that he was a little surprised, she explained, “That’s right. These demon beasts are ghosts. They’re considered a specialty of Little Spirit Mountain.”
n
nBlack also said casually, “Ghosts won’t appear during the daytime. They will only hide in deep underground and abandoned buildings where there is no sunlight. However, every night, they will gather to attack the human colonies.”
n
nLin Xuan frowned slightly.
n
nThe demon beasts he had encountered in the past were at least corporeal. This was the first time he had encountered a demon beast that did not even have a body.
n
nMoreover, weren’t there too many of them?
n
nThere were at least 20,000 of them.
n
nIn the distance, more faint green dots seemed to be gathering.
n
nAnd this was only on a medium scale beast tide?
n
nHow terrifying would a big scale beast tide be?
n
nLin Xuan suddenly felt the huge pressure the Construction Division was under.
n
nIn the past, he only felt that the Construction Division had a lot of people and ran a huge business. It would definitely be easy for him to rely on the Construction Division.
n
nMoreover, this was only the small Little Spirit Mountain mystic realm.
n
nThe battle in Drowning City was at least ten times more tragic than in Little Spirit Mountain. The demon beasts that appeared there were only more terrifying than the ones in Little Spirit Mountain.
n
nOtherwise, the Construction Division would not have risked their lives to mobilize the members to Drowning City. No matter what, they had to stop the demon beasts that were constantly surging out of Drowning City.
n
nOther than mystic realms like the Little Spirit Mountain and Drowning City, they also had to constantly guard against the covetous eyes of other organizations.
n
nFrom time to time, they had to beat up some organizations that had crossed the line. Otherwise, those organizations would definitely push their luck.
n
nThe director of the Construction Division in charge of the east wall shouted, “Everyone, those who have long-range skills can directly attack. Kill as many as you can!”
n
nThe martial artists immediately attacked when they heard this.
n
nAll kinds of skills of various colors flew down the city.
n
nHowever, no matter how they attacked, the ghost remained motionless.
n
nUnder the first wave of attacks, hundreds of ghosts were instantly killed.
n
nBut the subsequent ghosts quickly filled their gaps.
n
nFrom the top of the city wall, it was as if the wave of skills just now had not been released.
n
nSome of the martial artists who had just arrived at the Little Spirit Mountain mystic realm immediately revealed frightened expressions and muttered, “How are we supposed to fight them?”
n
nThe supervisor of the Construction Division shouted, “Everyone, don’t panic. There are many ghosts, but we can completely keep them out of the colonies by relying on the city wall!”
n
n“In addition, because it’s a sudden beast tide, our Lightning Tower still needs time to accumulate energy. Please buy time for the Lightning Tower to charge!”
n
nLin Xuan followed his gaze and looked at the three three-meter-tall stone towers on the east wall.
n
n“Lightning Tower?”
n
nLin Xuan used his High-Level Observer skill and actually saw the equipment information.
n
n—-
n
nName: Lightning Tower
n
nLevel: Level Three Seventh Realm
n
nGrade: Rare Blue
n
nEffect 1: Consumes 1% of energy to shoot out a Lightning Chain with a diameter of 3 meters, causing 120% lightning damage.

n
nDescription: A product of the Tower Defense Master, Wan Youxi. It is honest and cheap.
n
n—-
n
nLin Xuan was slightly surprised.
n
nIt was actually made by a chief of the Construction Division. No wonder it was so powerful.
n
nYe Yuqiu said solemnly, “The Lightning Tower consumes too much energy and won’t be activated during small-scale beast tides. The person in charge of Colony Three probably didn’t expect that today’s small-scale beast tide would actually become medium-scale, so it still needs to be charged at this moment.”
n
nWith that said, Ye Yuqiu suddenly stared into the distance and whispered.
n
n“The big ones are coming.”
n
nLin Xuan also looked over and suddenly discovered two especially bright points of light quickly growing larger.
n
nFinally, they stopped 300 meters away from the city wall.
n
nThe pair of faint green dots was the size of a bucket.
n
nAt this moment, moonlight passed through the clouds and sprinkled on that figure. Only then did Lin Xuan see its full appearance.
n
nIt was an ugly ghost more than seven meters tall.
n
nThe reason why it was ugly was because Lin Xuan could not find the words to describe this ghost.
n
nIt was not of any race at all.
n
nIt was not in human form, bird, or beast form.
n
nIts head was that of a wolf.
n
nIt had a human body and a human face on its chest, but the mouth of this human face had a snake tongue sticking out.
n
nAmong its four hands, two were human hands, and the other two were wolf claws.
n
nAs for its tail, it could not be called a tail at all. Instead, it was the upper half of a python.
n
nIt was as if the relevant parts of the ghost in the form of a huge wolf, a human, and a python had been cut off and stitched together.
n
nSilver Fox felt a chill in his heart. “Is this a ghost that can be formed naturally?!”
n
nBlack shrugged. “Previously, when I was training on the Little Spirit Mountain, it was also this kind of ghost that acted as the leader and led the other ghosts to attack.”
n
n“They’re all mystic realm kings. Since they’re here, it means that the ghosts are already prepared and are about to attack en masse.”
n
nAs expected.
n
nAfter the sutured ghost monster appeared, the ghosts that had been standing rooted to the ground with a numb expression immediately seemed to have received a signal. They instantly became ferocious and rushed towards the city wall.
n
nBecause they were ghosts, they did not need to climb the city wall at all. They only needed to mobilize their magic power and fly directly towards the city wall.
n
nA battle instantly erupted!
n
nBecause the physical resistance of these ghosts was extremely high, the martial artists had no choice but to use magic and elemental skills to attack.
n
nThis made those martial artists who purely focused on dealing physical damage complain incessantly.
n
nLin Xuan multitasked. His main body took out a large shield to save the situation at all times, and his Flame Explosion avatar alternated between using Flame Explosion and Fireball.
n
nNot far from him was Silver Fox.
n
nAt this moment, Silver Fox displayed the strength of an elemental mage.
n
nAlthough he had wasted a lot of time in order to spy on the Germinal Organization and had even failed to advance perfectly several times, he was still doing alright. After all, the precious purple profession, Elemental Mage, had already made up for a lot.
n
nAt this moment, Silver Fox casually threw out four skills, including fire, frost, lightning, and poison.
n
nThe four elemental spells effectively killed the ghosts.
n
nIn a short period of time, a fan-shaped area with a radius of five meters in front of Silver Fox was cleared.
n
nAny ghost that entered this area would be killed immediately.
n
nThe surrounding martial artists were surprised.
n
nThis person was awesome!
n
nHe knew all four types of elemental spells? What an expert!
n
nThe mage professionals were even more envious.
n
nAs mages, they knew better than anyone how difficult it was to learn four types of spells at the same time.
n
nEven the person in charge of the east wall, the level nine Seventh Realm Construction Division member, looked over and praised, “That martial artist is not bad. Everyone, learn from him.”
n
nSilver Fox laughed. “You flatter me.”
n
nFeeling the gazes from all directions, he was feeling very smug.
n
n“Hey, hey, hey, stop feeling so smug, alright?” Black sneered.
n
nSilver Fox sneered and questioned, “How many have you killed? Can you compare to me? As Construction Division members, all that matters are our battle merits! Without battle merits, can you be stubborn in front of me?!”
n
nBlack gritted his teeth.
n
nSilver Fox was even more delighted when he saw this.
n
nHe was usually used to the Black badmouthing him. Now that he could retort, he was overjoyed.
n
nBlack sneered. “Don’t be happy too early. When Flame Explosion attacks, those envious eyes won’t be looking at you.”
n
nSilver Fox seemed to have expected this. At this moment, he chuckled. “I’m only inferior to him in terms of fire magic. However, I’m proficient in lightning, frost, and poison. Overall, I’m not inferior to him.”
n
nThen, he coughed lightly and whispered, “Moreover, have you forgotten? Teacher reminded us not to use our signature skills from before. We’ll be exposed. Of course, Flame Explosion won’t be able to keep using his Flame Explosion skill.”
n
nFlame Explosion’s signature spell was Flame Explosion. Although many mage professions had this skill, it was very likely for Flame Explosion recognized by the spies hiding in the dark if he used it too frequently. After all, its lethality was very high.
n
nBlack’s expression changed slightly.
n
nSilver Fox was telling the truth. If the other party could not use Flame Explosion, he would probably not have much of an advantage.
n
nDamn, this Silver Fox would actually be able to keep showing off!
n
nCould it be that the limelight on the east wall was about to be snatched away by Silver Fox?
n
nBlack casually slashed a ghost that had rushed up the city wall a few meters away. He approached Flame Explosion and asked in a low voice, “Do me a favor?”
n
nLin Xuan was stunned. Why did Black want his help at this time?
n
nHe immediately asked through his avatar, “What favor?”
n
nBlack snorted. “Look, Silver Fox is feeling very smug. If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging endlessly by now. I want you to steal his limelight away with your strength!”
n
nWith that said, he asked hesitantly, “You can’t use Flame Explosion. But how about your other spells? Can you suppress him?”
n
nLin Xuan could not help but laugh. So this was the reason?
n
nThis Silver Fox and Black sure seemed like really good friends.
n
nBlack immediately made Flame Explosion look troubled, but Flame Explosion still nodded. “Alright, but my other spells are slightly weaker than my fire spells.”
n
