Guhan helplessly put down the Qingpin Sword in his hand. He was prepared for a tough battle but what the hell was going on? Yuan Kou just fell like that.
"I've seen something similar before!"
Yi Tian who was no longer on guard walked back to Guhan's side and said slowly, "I've seen something like this when Yi Qing and I were fighting against Celestial in Guangzhou!
Celestial has a kind of Void Technology that can control the evil energy in the Void in a certain area. As long as a non-void creature stays in this area, their life force will be slowly consumed by the Void Energy until they die. "
"It looks like the effect here is similar to the Void Technology. As long as they stay in a certain area, the life force of these zombies will gradually disappear until they die!"
"Is there such a detail in that battle?" Guhan knew about Zhe Tian's battle in Guangzhou.
He heard that at that time, Celestial had sent a vanguard fleet led by an Archon into this world. They planned to turn this planet into Celestial's home.
As a result, he encountered Shroud Heaven's sword spirit, who had just become a spirit sword wielder at that time. After a bitter battle, Shroud Heaven single-handedly destroyed the entire Star Spirit fleet. This battle made Shroud Heaven's name spread throughout the human world. From then on, humans knew that there was such a powerful character like Shroud Heaven in their camp.
However, there were too few witnesses to the battle of the Astrals. Later generations could only restore the scene of the battle based on some clues and a few words. There had never been any record of the Astrals using Void Energy in history.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'm just telling you that I suspect this area might be shrouded by an energy similar to Void Energy.
However, this energy doesn't harm us humans or the Swordmistress … At least, it doesn't harm us. However, to Yuan Kou, it's fatal! "Yi Tian concluded.
"No, you're wrong." Guhan shook his head. "I'm afraid the energy here isn't targeting Yuan Kou.
If that's the case, the first one to fall would be Misaka Mikoto, not these zombies. "
"You mean that this energy is only effective against zombies, Yuan Kou?" Yi Tian asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it's only effective on zombies, maybe it's effective on undead creatures, or maybe it's effective on all dark creatures. I don't have enough data to refer to, so I can't make an accurate judgment."
Guhan licked his lips. "But one thing is for sure. It's a good thing for us."
"That's true. Maybe by drinking and singing here, we'll be able to protect this Bili Bili successfully!" Yi Tian said optimistically.
"What did you call her?
Beep beep beep? "
Guhan was stunned. He remembered that this name seemed to be the name of a large same-sex dating website before the apocalypse.
"Didn't I tell you?"
Yi Tian blinked. "Back then, Zhe Tian and I fought together with this Bili Bili. Zhe Tian and I always called her Bili Bili … Wait a minute, why did I call her Bili Bili? I can't remember."
Hearing Yi Tian's words, Guhan recalled that Misaka Mikoto did mention that she and Zhe Tian had fought together before. That was why she could recognize the Heavenly Sword at first glance. Could it be that Yi Qing gave Misaka Mikoto the nickname 'Bili Bili Bili'?
"Bili Bili Bili …" Guhan repeated it a few times. He smiled as he recalled how Misaka Mikoto's body emitted sparks. "That's quite an image."
…
At the foot of the mountain, after the first wave of zombies had died, the remaining zombies immediately stopped in their tracks. They returned to their previous state of not daring to take another step forward.
"Looks like there's a will controlling these zombies. They've learned their lesson so quickly!" Yi Tian expressed his opinion.
"That's the most troublesome thing. An opponent who's learned their lesson is much stronger than an opponent who only has courage."
As Gu Han said this, he looked up at the sky. It could be seen that another bolt of lightning was brewing at this moment.
As expected, ten seconds later, the lightning bolt struck down from the dark clouds … This time, there was no need for Misaka Mikoto to attract the lightning bolt. The lightning bolt's target was the Rainflower Terrace!
Under Guhan's attentive gaze, he clearly saw that when the lightning bolt was about two hundred meters above the Rainflower Terrace, there was a strong arc-shaped fluctuation in the sky. It felt as if there was a transparent pot lid covering the Rainflower Terrace's head. The lightning bolt had pierced through the lid and caused the entire lid to vibrate.
In other words, this Rain Flower Terrace also had a personal shield. The lightning bolt had pierced through the personal shield of the Rain Flower Terrace, thus triggering the fluctuation of the entire personal shield … Compared to the first lightning bolt, the fluctuation caused by the third lightning bolt was much stronger. If the personal shield was the same, it meant that the energy of the personal shield was in the process of weakening.
"Guhan, the zombies are moving again. They're on the move again!"
Under Yi Tian's warning, Gu Han discovered that the zombies that had just calmed down had once again started to climb towards the Rain Flower Terrace Monument … Just like last time, these zombies' ears, noses, mouths, and eyes started to have black liquid flowing out … But last time, they were squeezed dry after a minute and a half, turning into a stinky bag of skin. This time, these zombies advanced for a full two and a half minutes before finally dying.
"What's going on? Why are these zombies able to last longer?
Could it be that their strength has increased? "
Yi Tian was a little worried. These zombies were only rat-level and it was already very difficult to deal with. If they were to increase to tiger-level, it would be even more difficult to deal with!
"No, it's not that the zombies' strength has increased. It's that the layer of energy that's enveloping the Rainflower Terrace has weakened!"
Guhan lowered his head and looked around. He suddenly realized something and said, "I understand now. It's the lightning bolt. It's the lightning bolt that weakened the energy here!"
When he thought about what happened earlier, part of the truth became clear at a glance.
Under the attack of the lightning bolt, the personal shield of the Rainflower Terrace became weaker and weaker. Correspondingly, the zombies received less damage. That was why the zombies could last for two and a half minutes from one and a half minutes. It was not that their strength had increased, it was that the energy here had weakened.
"Yi Tian, return to your position and prepare for battle. I'm guessing that if two more lightning bolts strike, we'll really have to fight!"
Very soon, Guhan's prophecy became reality. When the fourth and fifth lightning bolts struck Misaka Mikoto, the zombies were already in front of Guhan and Yi Tian.
However, by the time they reached them, they were already all skin and bones. Guhan did not even need to use any strength to chop off their necks with one slash of his sword.
The real battle only started after the seventh lightning bolt was absorbed by Misaka Mikoto. When the lightning bolt struck, there was no longer a need to pay attention to the energy fluctuation of the layer of energy. The signs that it was about to collapse became more and more obvious.
After the seventh lightning bolt, the zombies officially sounded the horn to attack. When these normal zombies charged towards Guhan, they were no different from the zombies that Guhan had slaughtered when he first arrived. Although he could still kill one with one slash of his sword, Guhan had to use one hundred percent of his strength to fight this battle.
However, the intensity of the battle was within Guhan's expectations. Previously, Guhan was able to kill his way out of the horde of zombies and was able to guard the entrance to the top floor. Naturally, it would not be a problem for him now.
As long as Guhan stood there, he was confident that he would not let any normal zombies in. However, what worried Guhan the most was the two cliffs around them. If any zombies tried to break through from there, Guhan did not have the confidence to guard such a wide front.
As the saying goes, what you fear will happen. When the eighth lightning bolt exploded and was absorbed into Misaka Mikoto's body, the gigantic excavator zombies once again appeared in Gu Han's field of vision. They were more than ten meters tall. Even if they were standing at the bottom of the cliff, their arms could easily attack Misaka Mikoto who was on the monument's platform. What was more terrifying were the excavators in their hands. They only needed to use the excavators to knock on the cliff, and the entire cliff would collapse. It would then become a new entrance for the ordinary zombies to attack, just like Gu Han's Heavenly Guard.
"Yi Tian, how many mouthfuls of green plum wine do you have left?!" Seeing this, Guhan knew that it was time for Yi Tian to attack.
"Two mouthfuls left!" Yi Tian quickly gave an answer.
Yi Tian's ultimate skill, Green Plum Wine, had a duration of ten seconds and a cooldown of thirty seconds.
Yi Tian's wine gourd could store up to five mouthfuls of green plum wine. In other words, Yi Tian could transform up to five times in a short period of time.
Wait a minute … Something was not right. Yi Tian had drunk a mouthful of green plum wine when she killed the excavator zombies, Yuan Kou. She should have four mouthfuls left. Why was there only two mouthfuls?
"Yi Tian, where are the remaining two mouthfuls of green plum wine?" Guhan immediately questioned.
"About that … Kvass ran out when you were healing me just now. This heroine drank two mouthfuls of green plum wine to satisfy her craving."
Yi Tian said righteously, "What's wrong? This is this heroine's green plum wine. Can't this heroine drink it?"
Hearing Yi Tian's answer, Guhan almost vomited blood … Such an important green plum wine could be said to be related to the success or failure of the entire battle. How could someone drink it as a drink to satisfy their craving …
