After the Ghost Face Spider was destroyed, the Frigid Water Sword and Yue Ling Sword recovered some of their shield energy. Then, the next wave of Yuan Kou charged forward. This time, there were more than 20 Desert Wolves.
They were different from the wolves in the King of Yue Goujian Sword Instance Dungeon. These 20 Desert Wolves were stronger and could spit out fireballs. They could already be classified as Demonic Beasts.
Moreover, there was a powerful wolf king among the pack of desert wolves that had come to attack.
A wolf pack with a Wolf King and a wolf pack without a Wolf King were two completely different concepts.
Without the alpha wolf, the pack of wolves would have already rushed up together and attacked randomly without any order to it.
However, a wolf pack with a Wolf King would attack and defend in an orderly manner. They could even set up formations … such as now.
Under the Wolf King's command, the 20 Desert Wolves did not charge forward recklessly. Instead, they lined up in a few formations and faced off against King Yue and the other two Sword Ladies.
This Wolf King seemed to be judging the abilities of King Yue and the other two Sword Ladies and what tactics to use.
Shui Han tightened her grip on the Frigid Water Sword. The Wolf King's crimson eyes were filled with killing intent and threat, causing Shui Han's pores to open up.
"This is a vicious enemy. This is going to be a cruel battle!"
Shui Han silently thought as she mobilized all the power in her body. She knew that this battle would not be as simple as the previous ones.
"Awooo!" The Wolf King suddenly howled. Shui Han's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the wolf pack was about to attack.
As expected, the moment the Wolf King howled, eight of the Desert Wolves under his command split into two groups and charged towards Shui Han, Guhan, King Yue, and Yue Ling!
The two Desert Wolves quickly tangled with Shui Han. These wolves were incredibly fast, and their attacks were also quite good. Their teamwork was very exquisite. Although they couldn't break Shui Han's shield for a while, they were still able to restrict Shui Han to a very small area. Shui Han couldn't move to help the others.
"Why didn't this Wolf King send out all his forces?"
Shui Han was puzzled. Two Desert Wolves were already very strenuous for him. If he were to send all his Wild Wolves, he would really be done for!
Soon, Shui Han's confusion was answered. It wasn't that the remaining wolves didn't participate in the attack, it was just that they didn't need to fight close to Shui Han.
The dozen wolves opened their mouths at the same time. Within their mouths, a scarlet fireball was gathering energy.
"Not good, they're relying on fireballs to attack us!"
Shui Han immediately understood the wolf pack's plan. He first sent a portion of the wolf pack to separate and entangle each Sword Maiden, restricting their movements.
Then, he ordered the rest of the wolves to use fireballs and focus fire on one of them!
This was similar to when players fought a Boss. The Main Tank would tank the Boss and pull its aggro.
Mages, Hunters, and other classes would deal damage from a distance and focus fire on the Boss … However, the situation was now reversed. The players had become the Boss, and the monsters were killing the Boss.
By the time Shui Han understood this, the Desert Wolves had finished preparing their fireballs. They could shoot them at any time.
What terrified Shui Han even more was that the mouths of the dozen or so Desert Wolves were all aimed at his current position.
"This is bad!"
Shui Han sucked in a breath of cold air. If a dozen Fireballs hit him, even if he didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin. He might even use up half of his shield's remaining energy!
"It's too late …" Shui Han despaired as he swept away the two Desert Wolves around him. Then, he threw himself to the ground and buried his face in the ground, trying to avoid the damage from the Fireballs as much as possible.
"One second, two seconds, three seconds … Huh? Why haven't the Fireballs hit me yet?"
Puzzled, Shui Han risked raising his head. Then, he was so shocked that he couldn't lower his head anymore … Guhan, who he viewed as a burden, had charged into the pack of Wild Wolves that were preparing to shoot their mouths off. Guhan slashed at the Wild Wolves' vitals, one after another.
Every slash was a perfect explosion of damage. Occasionally, there would be one or two sure-kill damage.
In Shui Han's eyes, Gu Han was like a surfer swimming on the sea. He swam freely among the wolves without any hindrance. Every time he swam, a wild wolf would die. Even the angry wolf king, facing Gu Han, only took a few more strikes than the ordinary wild wolves in the desert. Then, it became a corpse and was sucked back to the 2D world by the dimensional vortex … The whole process was as smooth as a musical and could not be stopped.
Compared to the Wild Wolves in the King of Yue Goujian Sword instance dungeon, the current Guhan was far superior in terms of damage, fluidity, and strangeness of his swordsmanship.
This wasn't strange. At that time, Guhan relied on a mortal's physique to fight.
But now, Guhan had half of King of Yue's physique. The effect of fighting was naturally different.
After killing all the Wild Wolves, Guhan also killed the two Desert Wolves beside Shui Han. He patted Shui Han's shoulder and praised, "Not bad. You know that lying down is the best choice.
The next wave of attacks will take about ten minutes. You can take a good rest and try to recover all the energy in your shield. "
Cold Water Sword didn't know what expression to show. A human that he had looked down on and looked down on just moments ago was now displaying such power. He even patted his shoulder and praised him … Should he find a cliff and jump off?
Just as Shui Han was feeling ashamed, there was a commotion in the originally quiet Skyward Palace. Then, there was the sound of smashing things and cursing. It seemed like something huge had happened inside.
Could it be that Specter Napoti is here?
Guhan's expression darkened. After instructing King of Yue and the others not to leave their positions, he quickly ran back into Skyward Palace.
Among the Primordial Specters that attacked Skyward Palace, there was a wave of ghost Primordial Specters. They were silent and invisible. Without the help of the Sword Ladies of the Demonic Path, it was almost impossible to detect the traces of these specters.
These Specters couldn't attack anyone directly. They didn't have any attack abilities, but they could possess the bodies of mortal NPCs and control them to hurt the people around them.
This was a wave of attacks that was very difficult to defend against. No matter how good the defense outside was, the survivors in Skyward Palace couldn't deal with the people around them.
A lot of players fell at this stage. It wasn't easy to clear out the Specters, but the number of survivors who died was more than 10 to 20.
After discovering the huge commotion in Skyward Palace, Guhan thought that the wave of Specters had appeared ahead of time … If that was the case, there should have been deaths in Skyward Palace by now. Guhan's SSS-rated target was basically out of the question.
Fortunately, when Guhan entered Skyward Palace, there were no casualties. There was only an old man who was constantly smashing various items in Skyward Palace. A group of Taoist priests followed behind him and tried to persuade him, but none of them dared to stop him.
The person who could make the Taoist priests hesitate was none other than the old Taoist priest who was a generation higher than the Refinement Realm, who had been knocked out by Guhan with the back of his sword. The other Taoist priests were his disciples and grand-disciples. None of them dared to stop him. They could only let him vent his anger in Skyward Palace.
"You bunch of trash, I raised you up for nothing. You actually let an outsider knock out your Martial Granduncle in the Sutra Pavilion. You're useless!
Hurry up and catch that person. I'm going to teach him a lesson. People nowadays don't even remember the basic respect for the old and love the young! "
The old man was throwing a tantrum in Skyward Palace. He scolded his disciples and grand-disciples in a loud voice. These disciples and grand-disciples all lowered their heads and didn't speak, allowing the old man to insult them.
"Old man who takes advantage of his seniority!"
Seeing this scene, Guhan regretted going easy on him. It would have been better if he had beaten him into a vegetative state. That way, he wouldn't have to make a fuss here.
When the old man heard Guhan's voice, he turned his head and saw that his enemy had already appeared in front of him. He was instantly furious. He pointed at the young Taoist priests behind him and ordered, "You guys, catch that brat of yours!!!"
The young Taoist priests looked at the old Taoist priest and then at Guhan. They suddenly felt that they were in a dilemma.
Logically speaking, since the Martial Granduncle had given the order, they should resolutely carry it out.
However, the person in front of them was not an ordinary person. He was a sword bearer sent by Yan Jing Base City. More than 700 people in Skyward Palace were all counting on Guhan to survive. Now that they had angered Guhan, he would send their reinforcements back with just one word. What should they do?
Moreover, they had clearly seen the situation outside just now. If it wasn't for Guhan's Lord Yue in front of them, the three Sword Ladies on their side would definitely not be able to hold on for long and would definitely be defeated. By then, it would be difficult for them to escape death.
Therefore, this Guhan must not be angered.
Therefore, this group of young Taoist priests very wisely chose to be cowards.
Refinement was the only person qualified to comfort the old Taoist priest. He patted the old Taoist priest's back and kept saying something. "Calm down, don't lower yourself to the level of a child. He's also doing it for your own good. He wants to protect your safety and things like that in an attempt to appease the old Taoist priest's anger."
The old Taoist priest's actions made Guhan feel a lot of anger in his heart. He was just a lousy NPC, what was he trying to do to him!
However, at this time, the situation seemed to have calmed down. Guhan decided to let it go. He walked in front of Refinement and said, "Look after everyone here. If there's a fight, we'll all die together!"
After saying this, Guhan turned around and left. He did not want to stay in this crowded Skyward Palace anymore.
However, unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest was still upset. Seeing that Guhan had no intention of apologizing to him, he casually scolded, "Little bastard who was born and raised by a mother …"
Well, he instantly exploded.
