Land of the Wraith.
System notifications began to refresh in Dean McKenzie’s view as he released his skill.
[You have successfully used the Appraisal Skill, you have successfully identified the attributes of the[Little Ghost].]
Name: Little Ghost
Level: Level 9
Attributes:
Agility: 1, Physique: 1, Spirit: 7
Attack: 7
Defense: 0.5
Description: While it might appear weak and frail, without the correct method to vanquish it, it is an undying entity!
“Doggy Two, hit the brakes!”
Realizing the magnitude of the attributes displayed on countless ghosts in front of him, Dean quickly tells Doggy Two to stop.
If they are this strong based on their basic attributes alone, god knows how powerful the Elite Monsters would be.
If Dean dared to charge in there, wouldn’t he just be signing his own death sentence in minutes?
But standing still was not an option.
After all, right now, the Corpses that outnumbered the ghosts were slowly closing in from behind.
If they moved forward, they would surely die.
If they moved backward, the Corpses would surround them, resulting in shattering to pieces.
As a result, Dean seemed to be pushed into a corner.
“What do I do?”
He looked at the two groups of Wraiths gradually surrounding him from both sides.
In this critical moment, Dean’s mind was still surprisingly calm, and he quickly made a decision.
“We’ll have to risk it all, Doggy Two, turn around, we’re running back to the Corpse!”
Afterwards, Dean commanded Doggy Two, who was carrying him on its back, to turn around and run towards the Corpse.
This time, Doggy Two’s running was not the life-and-death sprint from earlier.
Under Dean’s command, Doggy Two constantly controlled its speed. It didn’t run all out, and merely barely outpaced the Ghost Group, moving towards the Corpse Swarm.
Meanwhile, Dean commanded Doggy Two’s movements while simultaneously keeping an eye on the Corpse Swarm. He adjusted Doggy Two’s path of movement continuously.
Under Dean’s control, five minutes later, they bumped into the Corpse Swarm.
Dean’s observations weren’t useless.
The place they crashed into the Corpse Swarm was his carefully chosen spot, surrounded by ordinary Corpse.
With the Bone Shield that Dean prepared for him, Doggy Two easily broke into the Corpse Swarm.
At the same time Dean and Doggy Two plunged into the Corpse Swarm, the Ghost Group they had lured upon their tails also bumped into the Corpse Swarm.
Instantly, the fight between the two different species of Wraiths exploded.
Clearly, Dean’s tactic was to instigate a fight between the Ghost Group and the Corpse Swarm.
To thereby give himself a chance to escape with his life.
Having this planned out, Dean’s first step was complete.
But it was only the first step. Now, Dean needed to proceed with the second phase!
Only when the second phase was completed, could Dean be considered truly safe.
“Turn around, and charge toward the Ghost Group!”
Dean McKenzie gave an order that left everyone stunned without hesitation.
Doggy Two also executed the order without hesitation, turning around and charging back at the Ghost Group.
Dean McKenzie did this for a simple reason.
Even though Doggy Two’s strength had reached 6 points, granting it an absolute advantage over ordinary corpses, this advantage was not enough for it to carry Dean McKenzie through hundreds or even thousands of corpses.
But turning to the Ghost Group, it was a different story.
The Ghost Group did not have any strength attributes, as long as Dean McKenzie could withstand their damage, he could escape through them.
So why didn’t he do this from the beginning?
Joking aside, without the Corpse Swarm to distract the Ghost Group’s attention, if Dean McKenzie had done this from the beginning, it would have been a straight path to death.
Even now, it wasn’t easy for Dean McKenzie to move through the Ghost Group.
As soon as Doggy Two rushed out of the Corpse Swarm and into the Ghost Group, the Bone Shield was touched several times.
Just these few touches nearly shattered the Bone Shield, which had been perfectly fine among the Corpse Swarm.
Keep in mind, this is an enhanced version of Bone Shield.
If the Bone Shield hadn’t been enhanced, Dean McKenzie and the others might have been wiped out in this wave.
Didn’t have time for retaliation, Dean McKenzie immediately recited another Bone Shield, then commanded Doggy Two to rush out of the Ghost Group at full speed.
All the way, Dean McKenzie was fully focused on controlling the Bone Shield to perform as much defense as possible.
To ensure that Doggy Two wouldn’t be harmed and, more importantly, the Bone Shield wouldn’t be shattered.
Dean McKenzie was only in the Ghost Group for about a minute, he had to resummon the Bone Shield three times before he barely made it out.
Anyone else in such a situation would have certainly tried to get away from the danger as quickly as possible.
But not Dean McKenzie!
After breaking through the Ghost Group and ensuring there were no chasers behind him, and that neither the Corpse Swarm nor the Ghost Group were focusing on him at the moment, Dean McKenzie found a relatively safe and hidden spot to watch the ongoing battle.
The battle between the Corpse Swarm and the Ghost Group had now reached a peak.
Dean McKenzie was curious about which side would come out victorious.
He wanted to know whether the Corpse Swarm or the Ghost Group was stronger.
“Clearly, the Ghost Group is stronger!”
After watching for a while, Dean McKenzie had a clear understanding of both sides’ strengths.
The Corpse Swarm was not as powerful as the Ghost Group.
Although the Ghost Group was not fast in attacking, each attack took several seconds or even tens of seconds. Their attack method was a bit stiff, but basically, each attack could take a corpse away, at least an ordinary corpse.
The Corpse Swarm, on the other hand, moved quickly, but their attacks did not harm the Ghost Group.
At first, Dean McKenzie thought that the Ghost Group had the ability to physically be immune, which scared him. A level 9 monster was so against heaven?
Later Dean McKenzie realized that this was not the case. The Ghost Group did not have the physical immunity ability, it is only that the Corpse Swarm didn’t hit the right spot.
“The weak point of that Ghost Group is the black flame in the center. As long as it’s hit, even a corpse can kill them instantly!”
As a bystander, Dean McKenzie quickly found the weakness of Ghost Group.
But Dean McKenzie’s discovery did not change the situation of the battle below.
After all, he, not the Corpse Swarm, had discovered Ghost Group’s weaknesses.
In the battle, except for occasionally a few corpses hitting the spot by luck, few could damage the Ghost Group.
Consequently, the battle had become a one-sided slaughter.
Soon, hundreds of corpses had died.
Just as all the corpses were about to get wiped out, suddenly, all the corpses paused and then turned around and left as if they had received some command. How could the Ghost Group let them go so easily?
They continued to chase and kill, and in the end, only a few dozen out of the several hundred Corpse Swarm managed to escape.
Looking at those escaping corpses, Dean McKenzie had another bold idea in his mind!
