Chapter 359 - Corpse Explosion
Chapter 359 Corpse Explosion
Boom!
The terrifying explosion swept across a large area. Tens of thousands of Pollution Creatures were turned into nothingness in such an explosion, completely disappearing into the world.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s pupils constricted, all of them were so frightened that they revealed shocked expressions. They did not dare to believe their own eyes. “This… What is this?” Peony asked in shock, her small mouth was so scared that it was wide open.
“It’s just an ordinary corpse. However, something was added to it, so that is a corpse explosion!” Li Xuan said faintly.
His voice was not loud, but for some reason, everyone felt that his voice was somewhat cold.
“Corpse… Corpse Explosion?”
Peony looked at the scene of the explosion and then looked at the calm Li Xuan. For some reason, she felt a trace of fear toward Li Xuan.
The surrounding people also felt a trace of fear toward Li Xuan. Even Xiao He from the Heavenly Sword Sect felt a trace of coldness behind his back.
The main reason was that Li Xuan was too calm, especially when surrounded by a group of dead souls. Under the contrast of the black gas in this passage, Li Xuan appeared even more strange.
Instinctively, everyone clenched the weapons in their hands and looked at Li Xuan warily.
Even Xiao He from the Heavenly Sword Sect was constantly on guard, not daring to get too close to Li Xuan.
“Let’s go.”
Li Xuan naturally saw this point, but summoning a Dark Creature was too easy.
Without using his own strength, this skill was absolutely the perfect assistant for him, allowing him to easily hide his strength.
Moreover, displaying his Darkness-Type Skills would also allow him to be valued. After all, in the Dark Forest, that Darkness Elemental Origin could only be used by those with Darkness-Type Skills
Even if a Saint Rank powerhouse obtained the Darkness Elemental Origin, he could at most strengthen a Darkness-Type spell. Its effect would not be particularly great.
If the strength he displayed was greater than a Saint Rank powerhouse’s Darkness-Type spell, then his chances of obtaining the Darkness Elemental Origin would greatly increase.
Li Xuan was prepared to use his Darkness-Type Talent more often in the future to display his value, making everyone realize the important role he played in fighting against the Abyss.
This was also one of the reasons why Li Xuan once again displayed his ability.
“Let’s go, increase our speed.”
Li Xuan once again called out to everyone, controlling the skeletons to continue exploding corpses, clearing out a large area. Just like that, everyone proceeded forward. Everyone could only follow in a daze. When they arrived in front of the damaged array formation, everyone realized that they had not participated in a single battle.
All of the attacking Pollution Creatures had died. Even a Silver Rank Abyssal Dog had been blown up by the corpses of ten corpses. Not even its bones remained.
“Too… too strong. Little junior brother, this move of yours is too powerful. It’s simply a godly skill on the battlefield,” Peony said in disbelief.
“Yes, but I’m only good at summoning. My own combat ability is very weak. I’m unable to fight against assassins and enemies with strong offensive forms. I hope that all of you can do your best to protect me.”
Li Xuan casually found an excuse. People who were too strong were easy to be feared by others. If he showed that his main body was very weak, he could only rely on his summoned creatures.
Then, it would be easier for others to accept him and obtain the elemental origin.
As expected, after hearing Li Xuan’s words, the eyes of Xiao He from the Heavenly Sword Sect lit up. The remaining people also realized this point and collectively heaved a sigh of relief.
“Junior Brother Li Xuan, don’t worry. I will do my best to protect your safety. I am best at close combat. Anyone who wants to kill you will have to go through me.”
Xiao He’s face was still pale. His white robe was dyed red with blood. However, he still held his long sword and stood by Li Xuan’s side, looking like a guardian.
The rest of the people hurriedly expressed their stance. Even peony was no longer afraid of Li Xuan. Instead, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Little junior brother, don’t be afraid. Your senior sister is best at crowd control, healing, and summoning. With me around, no one can get close to you.”
After Peony finished speaking, her fair little hands quickly pressed together, and vines appeared around her, protecting her and Li Xuan in the center. As for the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Xiao He, he was directly kicked out.
Xiao He, “…”
Xiao He was speechless. He held his longsword gloomily as he stood guard outside with an innocent look on his face.
The rest of the people stood guard at the outermost perimeter, protecting Li Xuan in the center.
At this point, Li Xuan set up a Dark Array Formation while passing through the black vortex. He summoned densely packed Dark Creatures and began to push through the ninth passage.
Time slowly passed.
The scale of the battle grew larger and larger. There were already 300 Dark Array Formations set up in the ninth passage.
However, before they could even finish one-tenth of the passage, they were met with a fierce counterattack.
A large number of Abyssal Creatures appeared. They brought along the Pollution Creatures and attacked Li Xuan and the others.
Among them, the assassin-type Abyssal Creatures appeared more than ten times. Their goal was to assassinate Li Xuan. On several occasions, Li Xuan was even in danger.
The most dangerous time was when a sharp-toothed Abyssal Creature emerged from the ground. Its sharp teeth were only 10 centimeters away from Li Xuan.
Fortunately, Peony’s vines were strong enough to entangle the Abyssal Creature and send it flying. In the end, it was killed by the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Xiao He. After the battle, everyone was covered in blood. They sat weakly on the ground, and their faces were pale.
Peony’s body was shaking. She was a little too weak to cast healing spells.
“Junior Brother Li Xuan, let’s stop here. To be able to set up 300 array formations is already ten times more than the mission. We have made a great contribution.”
Xiao He wiped the blood off his face and said with some excitement.
He could see that although Li Xuan’s summoned creations were powerful, Li Xuan’s actual body was really not strong. He could not fight back against a Silver Rank. This made Xiao He acknowledge Li Xuan more and more.
After all, only those who had flaws could be more easily controlled.
“Yes, the mission is indeed almost done. However, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to leave the ninth passage for a short period of time.” Li Xuan shook his head.
“Why?”
Everyone was puzzled. Even Peony blinked her big eyes with a blank look on her face.
“Haven’t you noticed that the number of these Abyssal Creatures is too many?” Li Xuan said faintly.
“Eh? Too many? This…”
Everyone was silent. Their faces were a little awkward.
They usually repaired the first 30 array formations. They had no right to come so far as 300 array formations. Therefore, they did not know the number of Abyssal Creatures.
“Junior Brother Li Xuan, did you discover something?” Xiao He hurriedly asked.
“Yes, at the entrance of the ninth passage. The first Dark Array Formation that I set up has already been destroyed. The second Dark Array Formation is also on the verge of collapse.
“With so many Abyssal Creatures retaliating, I suspect that a small Beast Tide has occurred in the Abyssal Passage,” Li Xuan said seriously.
“Small Beast Tide?”
Xiao He immediately stood up when he heard this. He said solemnly once again, “Are you sure?”
“Most likely. If we return now, we will enter the intersection zone. We will have to face the enemies of the Abyss in the ten passages. It will be very dangerous…”
“Rather than facing such a strong enemy, why not continue to go deeper and rely on the Dark Array Formations to fight steadily. After the small beast tide passes, we will return,” Li Xuan analyzed.
