1448 Surrounded
“What a good tactic.”
Fang Heng rubbed his chin. While he agreed with the opponent’s tactics, he was also a little curious.
What was the origin of the green stone in Gano’s hand?
The team he had encountered in the underground shady line could also open a barrier to avoid the attacks of the undead creatures.
Did he also rely on that strange green stone?
He wondered if the barrier effect would work on all undead creatures.
It would be best if they could snatch one over to take a look.
Knowing the opponent’s tactical arrangements, it was very easy to deal with them.
After Fang Heng investigated the situation, he tried to cast the undead skeleton summoning skill not far away. He summoned a piece of Ice Bones and mixed it with the normal undead creatures, pretending to be attracted by the holy aura and taking the opportunity to approach.
It was obvious that the other party’s barrier could only block the aura.
The Culodi Trading Company never expected that someone would choose to control the Ice Bones to mix with the normal undead creatures. They simply did not have time to react.
By the time they discovered the danger, it was already too late.
Under Fang Heng’s deliberate control, the Ice Bones easily entered the barrier and launched a surprise attack on the team.
The entire team was thrown into chaos.
The Culodi Trading Company members had experimented countless times. And countless lessons had taught them that the soul crystal rune stone could block the senses of undead creatures. As long as they stayed within the barrier, they would be safe.
Why was it ineffective today?
Gano kept trying to activate the green stone in his hand. He was so anxious that sweat was about to drip from his forehead.
The stone was still ineffective.
Why was it ineffective?
The Culodi Trading Company had brought quite a number of combatants this time, but they were unable to deal with such a large number of Ice Bones. They were instantly thrown into disarray.
The team immediately fell into chaos.
“Understood!”
In a panic, Gano quickly called for a group of people to run to a small magic array nearby and shut it down.
The group from the Rand Chamber of Commerce, trapped deep in the valley, saw Gano and the others panicking first. They immediately revealed a look of joy.
It was a ray of hope in a desperate situation.
How could there be such a good thing?
A steward of the Rand Chamber of Commerce hurriedly suggested, “President Wendy, this is a great opportunity for us. They’re in a mess now. Let’s take advantage of this moment and fight to the death. We might be able to kill our way out and escape.”
“Wait!”
Wendy was extremely calm. She observed the entire battlefield and reached out her hand to signal her team not to act rashly.
“Elisa, don’t you think these Ice Bones are strange?”
Elisa had been preparing to fight, but she calmed down a little when she heard this. She looked at the group of Ice Bones attacking Gano’s team in the distance.
What’s strange?
After careful observation, a look of astonishment appeared in Elisa’s eyes.
“Eh? Their eyes… they are red.”
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Elisa’s mind. She looked at her sister Wendy in disbelief.
Wendy also looked at Elisa.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, “It’s skeleton summoning skill!”
There was no mistake. It was Fang Heng.
It was very likely that Fang Heng was secretly controlling these Ice Bones.
There were so many of them.
Fang Heng had mastered the skeleton summoning skill in a short period of time and even controlled so many Ice Bones.
Even though this guess was ridiculous, it was the most reasonable explanation Elisa could think of.
Elisa looked into the distance, feeling excited.
Fang Heng must have seen the distress signal they sent out earlier. So he came over to help them.
“Wait a minute.”
Elisa looked at the Ice Bones in disbelief.
She had wanted to learn the skeleton summoning skill before. But she had given up because the prerequisites for learning the skill were too harsh.
First, she had to achieve a high-tier level in necromancy. Second, she had to have a very high initial soul strength.
She felt that her undead strength was her weakness, and it would be a waste even if she learned it. That was why she suggested giving it as a gift to Fang Heng, who was more suitable.
So…
Did Fang Heng have already advanced to a high-tier level in necromancy?
Just a few days ago, when she first met Fang Heng, she communicated with him and confirmed that Fang Heng was only an elementary necromancy scholar at that time!
In just a few days, he had already advanced to a high-tier level in necromancy.
What a terrifying talent.
What was even more terrifying was that Elisa could see that the eyes of the Ice Bones in the distance were filled with red soul flame.
To be able to control such a large number of Ice Bones, how strong was Fang Heng’s soul power?
To be able to control so many Ice Bones in such a short period of time and leave so many soul brands, how did Fang Heng do it?
Elisa felt extremely shocked. But at the same time, she also felt extremely surprised and envious.
Wendy took a deep breath. She was now extremely glad that she had agreed to Elisa’s suggestion and given Fang Heng the skeleton summoning skill.
If a young man with such potential could build a good relationship with her, the Rand Chamber of Commerce would profit greatly from this investment.
“Let’s not rush.”
Seeing the hope of escaping, Wendy became even calmer. She whispered, “Let’s wait and see. Fang Heng hasn’t shown up yet. He must have a plan. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Fang Heng’s potential and strength had far exceeded her expectations.
Since Fang Heng was able to control a large number of Ice Bones and gain the initiative, they did not need to take such a huge risk to break out of the encirclement.
The safest choice was to stay where they were and burn the soul flame to wait for Fang Heng’s support.
In the distance, contrary to the situation with the Rand Chamber of Commerce, Gano felt like he was about to go insane.
He had clearly stopped the operation of the small magic array. But something strange happened.
The influx of Ice Bones from the outside not only didn’t decrease but rather increased.
Moreover, the Ice Bones ignored the barrier effect. They showed no interest in anyone else and just chased after their team to attack.
The pressure on the Culodi Trading Company was increasing, and casualties were already occurring.
Cold sweat broke out on Gano’s forehead.
He even suspected that there was something wrong with the soul crystal rune in his hands, which might have attracted these undead creatures.
Could they really meet their end at the hands of these undead creatures today?
“Soul Fire! Hurry up and burn the soul fire!”
Boom!
After some chaos, the central bonfire of soul fire was finally ignited.
A soaring soul fire suddenly rose.
The Ice Bones that were rushing over from nearby were affected by the soul fire and gradually retreated, surrounding Gano and his team in layers.
“Damn it!”
He finally got a moment to catch his breath.
Gano gritted his teeth and looked at the Ice Bones around him, breathing heavily.
What was wrong with those Ice Bones? Why were they fixated on them?
Now, the situation seemed to have completely reversed. They were the ones surrounded by the Ice Bones.
