Chapter 1031 - 924: Forbidden Land Undead
Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, the group slowly advanced towards the interior of the Absolute God Forbidden Land.After a while, they saw more than ten black demons ahead, each over three meters tall.
These black demons were the Dead Souls, towering over the average members of the Human Clan, their bodies entirely dark, emitting a foul stench.
"Everyone, cautiously approach!"
The middle-aged man instructed the two hundred-strong mercenary group to split into two teams, each with over a hundred members.
He and another middle-aged man each led a team forward, coordinating from left and right.
Once they were very close to the Dead Souls, the middle-aged man gestured to the mercenaries beside him, assigning tasks.
Soon, the mercenaries behind him started following the middle-aged man's instructions, bending bows and shooting arrows at their respective targets.
On the way, the middle-aged man explained to everyone how they should cooperate when encountering the Dead Souls.
Entering the Absolute God Forbidden Land requires facing these Dead Souls, trying to eliminate them as much as possible.
The Dead Souls of the Absolute God Forbidden Land are a very unique type of demon, capable of emerging from a mysterious swamp within the land.
No one knows what kind of swamp this is.
The most eerie aspect of the swamp is the constant emergence of Dead Souls, growing bit by bit, eventually becoming towering beings over three meters tall.
It's said that to eliminate the Dead Souls of the Absolute God Forbidden Land, one must destroy that swamp.
Yet, until now, no expert from the Sky Ascending Plane has been able to rush in and destroy the swamp within.
Legend has it that long ago, an expert from the Divine World attempted to destroy the swamp, but unfortunately perished in the attempt.
Before perishing, the expert called the place the Absolute God Forbidden Land.
People didn't understand what this meant, and assumed the expert identified the swamp area as the Absolute God Forbidden Land.
Thus, the place became known as the Absolute God Forbidden Land.
Duan Gujin's Divine Sense locked onto one of the Dead Souls, observing for a while before furrowing his brow as he detected an unusual energy within its body.
The transformation of the Dead Souls was likely caused by this bizarre energy.
After a while, Duan Gujin relaxed as he concluded that these Dead Souls were purely Dark Attribute Power.
To destroy the Dead Souls, the most suppressive attribute powers are Light attribute power and Thunder Attribute Power.
However, Duan Gujin had previously overused One-sided Heavenly Tribulation, leaving him unable to use it for another twenty days.
He could only deploy Extreme Thunder Technique to deal with the Dead Souls ahead, yet his Divine Sense detected that there were more than thirty of them.
He couldn't determine how strong their defenses were or how many he could destroy using Extreme Thunder Technique.
"I should try to make an effort!"
He furrowed his brow slightly, recalling the middle-aged man's warning.
"Oh no, I almost forgot, the middle-aged man forbade us from using Lightning Power here! Although Lightning Energy can also suppress and eliminate these Dead Souls, lightning produces sounds. If lightning were to sound here, the Dead Souls from the entire Absolute God Forbidden Land would rush towards the source!"
Recalling the middle-aged man's warning, Duan Gujin furrowed his brow further.
He thought he should act according to the middle-aged man's advice, even though he could use Extreme Thunder Technique to eliminate the Dead Souls here, it would spell doom for the martial artists nearby.
The middle-aged man signaled everyone to aim at the Dead Souls, then turned his right hand palm down, indicating for the martial artists to shoot arrows at the Dead Souls immediately.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Instantly, the air was filled with the sound of arrows slicing through the air.
Duan Gujin's eyes widened as he quickly saw the Yang Arrowheads piercing into the bodies of the Dead Souls.
After being hit by the arrows, the Dead Souls glanced around, searching for the enemies who shot at them.
Duan Gujin noticed black liquid flowing incessantly from the spots where the Dead Souls were struck, filling the air with an extremely unpleasant stench.
Moreover, the movement speed of the Dead Souls had slowed significantly compared to before.
After ensuring all the Dead Souls were arrow-struck, the middle-aged man looked around with his Divine Sense, then promptly led everyone to bypass the Dead Souls ahead.
Soon, their presence was detected by the Dead Souls.
The Dead Souls moved their bodies slowly, inching their way towards them.
Compared to the martial artists, the Dead Souls were incredibly slow at this point, unable to keep up with them.
Successfully bypassing the group of Dead Souls, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's continue forward!"
The middle-aged man immediately led the group to continue advancing according to the position indicated on the map.
Even in the Divine World, even someone as formidable as a Devil could not simultaneously possess multiple attribute powers.
Some martial artists are born with Light attribute power, naturally able to suppress demons like Dead Souls.
In his previous life, Duan Gujin only excelled in some Dark Attribute powers, lacking Light attribute power within his body.
Therefore, he didn't have much experience in eliminating Dead Souls, merely knowing that using Dark Weapons with strong Light attribute power could extinguish them.
Eliminating Dead Souls was one thing, doing it easily was another.
Facing Dead Souls, Duan Gujin had little experience.
The group advanced slowly, encountering clusters of ten to twenty Dead Souls every few hundred meters.
If they didn't use Yang Arrows to eliminate the Dead Souls, they'd easily be discovered as soon as they entered the detection range of a group of Dead Souls.
Once discovered by the Dead Souls, they'd signal their surrounding counterparts.
If they couldn't stop the Dead Souls from summoning allies, they'd face encirclement next.
The most terrifying thing is that the Dead Souls would ripple out signals like water waves, sending alerts to surrounding Dead Souls endlessly.
One spreading to ten, ten spreading to a hundred, soon enough an unknown number of Dead Souls would be aware of their arrival.
This was what terrified the mercenaries the most; none wanted to combat the entire Dead Souls of the Absolute God Forbidden Land.
If things turned out that way, they'd have no choice but to flee quickly.
The group proceeded cautiously, while Duan Gujin utilized Divine Sense, searching for Star Ore.
He knew Star Ore was capable of causing magnetic field shifts, so he kept rotating a compass.
If the compass stopped indicating south, it was likely there was Star Ore nearby.
