Chapter 861: 215. Spirit Realm Pursuit! (6000 words)_4
He spoke without issue, but when the conversation veered towards deciding who would be sent to die, the atmosphere suddenly grew quiet.
In the silence that followed, a woman carrying a bow and arrow stepped forward, saying, "I'll go. I am confident I can trigger the device."
Seeing someone volunteer, the others immediately wanted to agree. Yet, at that moment, the woman added, "But I have conditions."
"State them." "What conditions?"
The woman said, "After triggering the device, I want to strike first. When Fang Ze is killed, I get the first credit!"
The figures exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement...
...
In this way, Fang Ze and the demigod followers engaged in a relentless chase and fight, quickly arriving near the Black Soil City!
Upon approaching the vicinity, Hei Yu, who had been holding the device all along, subtly signalled Fang Ze with a glance.
Fang Ze keenly caught the signal, nodded slightly, and then coughed softly.
Upon hearing Fang Ze's cough, the group imperceptibly adjusted their formation to be looser and slowed their pace slightly.
Their movements were so subtle and skillful that even someone watching them intently might just assume they were weary from running for so long.
So, at the moment Fang Ze and his group appeared "fatigued" and "slackened," suddenly there came a series of "whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!" sounds from afar!
Accompanying the sound, there appeared golden-glowing arrows flying swiftly from the forest not far away!
Each arrow seemed forged from gold, radiating brilliant golden light, standing out even in the grey weather of the Spirit Realm.
The Power of Laws condensed on them was even more terrifying, clearly no longer the small-scale skirmishes of the Spirit Ascension stage. Just a glance informed them that this time it was the Yang Transformation masters among the demigod believers striking!
Upon seeing this, Hei Yu, Hei Po, and the others dared not delay, hastily intercepting the arrows.
However, a strange phenomenon occurred. Once they acted, those arrows seemed provoked and began to frantically multiply!
Four turned into eight, eight into twelve, sixteen... The number of arrows kept increasing!
Soon, a rain of arrows formed, sweeping towards the group!
Seeing this, Hei Po could no longer sit idly by. She leaped up, tossing her fox head staff towards the swarm of golden arrows.
The fox head staff swelled against the wind, quickly transforming into a giant fox!
The fox opened its mouth wide and inhaled, instantly drawing all the flying arrows into its belly!
Witnessing this scene, the others at present felt slightly relieved: battling an Ability User is never about how strong the opponent is, but rather fearing the opponent's powers being strange and unpredictable with no countering means.
That is what truly frustrates in combat.
Now, regardless of the enemy's strength, our side at least has targeted abilities, providing much greater peace of mind.
While Fang Ze's party was thinking this, suddenly, amidst the chaos, Fang Ze's ear twitched slightly, promptly followed by Hei Yu and Hei Po having a similar realization.
Just as they were about to take action, Fang Ze suddenly coughed lightly.
Upon hearing Fang Ze's cough, they hesitated for a split second, slowing their movements.
At that moment, a transparent arrow suddenly materialized in the midst of their formation, then exploded right beside Fang Ze!
Having sensed the arrow earlier, Fang Ze remained calm, holding several escape and defense artifacts, prepared for anything. However... two seconds later, he felt neither anomaly nor pain.
The exploding golden arrow proved to be a dud, causing him no harm at all.
As Fang Ze stood surprised and hesitant, unsure of what his opponents were up to, suddenly, a semi-transparent wall appeared out of thin air and rapidly expanded from Fang Ze's center to the surroundings!
