Jiao Walking Skill—Big Vortex!
Seeing the vortex slowing down, Xiao Jie quickly sent another shot towards the center of the square’s water area.
Watching the zombies and skeletons being shredded and struck down by lightning within the vortex, Xiao Jie felt quite satisfied.
With a few minutes left, he thought he’d kill as many as possible.
This is such a great leveling opportunity, if missed, it won’t come again.
At this moment, the entire Soul Suppressing Pass had turned into a marshland, with corpse groups being dragged forward by the water flow everywhere.
The streets resembled canals, pulling groups of little monsters into the big vortex in the square.
Lightning struck continuously, with thunder shaking the heavens.
The players stood on the rooftops on both sides of the streets, taking medicine to recover while fighting the monsters climbing the buildings, enjoying the exhilarating feeling of rapid upgrading.
"Haha, this feels awesome!"
"Feng, you’re mighty! Feng, you’re awesome!"
"The city defense is secure now."
Everyone was full of confidence at this moment.
But Xiao Jie was not so confident because he had noticed something: from the beginning, the Ghost King had not joined the battle.
He had only released a few Sword Qi, blasting open the city gate.
If this Level 54 BOSS joined the fight, it would undoubtedly be a tough battle.
Although he didn’t know why the Netherworld Ghost King hadn’t joined the battle yet, Xiao Jie still reminded everyone, "Don’t underestimate the enemy, stay alert. The Ghost General isn’t dead yet, and there’s still a big BOSS to fight."
"Jie, I think that big BOSS won’t attack us," said Gu Feiyu suddenly from behind.
"Oh, why do you think so?"
Xiao Jie valued Gu Feiyu’s opinion because, in the past, while working under him, Gu Feiyu often had surprising ideas and made great tactical suggestions during instance strategies.
Gu Feiyu cautiously replied, "I don’t know much about this game, but after observing it for a while, it seems that the NPCs in this game have intelligence similar to real humans.
Since the old captain said there were restrictions left by Immortals in the city, maybe the BOSS knows this too. If so, it makes sense that he’d be wary and not dare to enter the city. Maybe he’s using those Ghost Generals to trigger the Immortal Prohibitions, then he’ll make his move.
Of course, there’s also a second possibility: according to common game mechanics, the BOSS usually appears one by one, so we should deal with the three Ghost Generals first, then the Ghost King will fight."
Xiao Jie nodded to himself, thinking Gu Feiyu’s analysis made sense.
It’s probably the former.
Based on his understanding of the game’s background, the Netherworld Ghost King had come to the human realm thousands of years ago with a group, but was then beaten up by Immortals with many dying or being sealed.
The Netherworld Ghost King might have fought with Immortals before.
Naturally, he would be wary.
So before the Immortal Prohibition activates, there’s no need to worry about him making a move. As for after it activates... The request for help from Soul Suppressing Pass has already been sent out. On his way here, Xiao Jie had encountered the messenger and arranged for a few people to escort him to ensure he wouldn’t be killed by wild monsters halfway.
The messenger was on a fast horse; an hour should be enough to reach Xuanxu Palace...
As he pondered, a sudden cracking sound came from below. Xiao Jie looked down to see the water surface beginning to freeze. A chill rapidly spread from outside the city, freezing the water wherever it reached.
Not good, it seems like some powerful Netherworld Magic!
Jiao Walking Skill—Big Vortex!
Xiao Jie cast another Sorcery. The frozen surface started breaking up again under the vortex’s pull, with countless ice floes clashing in the water and breaking into tiny pieces.
But soon, another wave of chilling aura surged in.
Xiao Jie looked towards the city gate and saw the three Netherworld Ghost Generals charging towards him, surrounded by Netherworld Aura. Wherever their Netherworld horses passed, the water instantly froze into ice. The three horses seemed to be treading on ice, emanating a killing intent.
Behind them, hundreds of Nether River Knights charged in formation.
Their target was clearly the Jiao Long Xiao Jie had transformed into.
Obviously, these BOSSes could tell who had caused the flood.
Xiao Jie hurriedly ordered, "Everyone, concentrate firepower, attack the ice surface!"
The players on the buildings immediately began throwing gunpowder jars and kerosene pots at the Nether River Knights below.
In a series of explosions, the Nether River Knights were thrown off their horses, but this formidable cavalry didn’t stop advancing.
The Nether River Knights were Level 40 monsters with a high Blood Volume of 900. Even though they were just little monsters, their combat power was quite formidable. The players’ gunpowder jars had a hard time killing them.
To make matters worse, a sharp ghost wail echoed from the sky.
Xiao Jie looked up to see a swarm of ghosts and evil spirits, led by a ghost BOSS, swooping down towards the players.
The city’s defensive formation had finally exhausted its last bit of strength after losing the mages’ maintenance, causing all the runes above the city wall to vanish. Now, the ghosts and evil spirits outside the city could fly into Soul Suppressing Pass without restrictions.
At the evil spirit leader’s command, they swarmed in.
This was troublesome. With so many ghosts, even if some players had ghost-slaying abilities, they wouldn’t be able to kill them all.
