Chapter 892: The resurrection of the dead

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

It was foggy.

When the vivid figures appeared one after another, everyone was so terrified that they could hardly control themselves. The injury on the person’s body was horrifying; the body that had been pierced, and the almost rotten limbs gave the crowd goosebumps. These people turned out to be dead bodies!

“It’s Xiao Ning!”

A world esper suddenly shouted in fright after recognizing one of the figures.

Everyone looked toward the direction his finger was pointing at. On a small boat, there was a man with only half of his body remaining. It was the man that the dark fish previously swallowed. From his decaying body, one could see what he experienced with the dark fish. He was tortured so badly that half of his body was gone!

He was their teammate!

With over twenty people, they were all teammates that died earlier. At this time, they all came.

Were they dead or alive?

Everyone looked at each other in horror.

What happened?

How could they be here? Could it be they drifted here by the waves or…

“There are no signs of life.”

Su Hao looked at the empty 2D map and frowned slightly. Why? No one would have thought that there would be this horrifying scene awaiting them just after entering the innermost part of Taihu Territory.

It seems that exploring this unexplored region of Taihu Territory isn’t easy.

“It should probably because of the current bringing them here.” A world esper tried to comfort himself with a smile.

“Maybe it’s just an illusion.” Another man voiced out.

“Yes, yes. If not, then it must be some mirage.”

Others also even joined in for a laugh.

However, their discussion seemed to have triggered those figures on the small boats. They noticed the shadows moving slightly because of their laughter, which made them open their eyes wide.

“Damn!”

“Alive… They’re alive!”

The crowd was scared by this scene and retreated.

No one could describe this feeling, the feeling of being watched by dozens of dead bodies…

Countless boundary spirits appeared.

The crowd immediately entered their combat state. With boundary spirits floating around them, they stared cautiously at those figures and nearly bit off their tongue.

Damn it, what kind of situation is this?!

However, even so, no one dared to make the first move!

It wasn’t because these are the bodies of their dead teammates, but this strange situation made them not dare take the first move. Who knew what it would lead to?

“What do we do?”

Everyone looked at Su Hao subconsciously.

“Let me see.” Su Hao’s eyes swept across those bodies as if he was finding the source that supported their movement. Since they’re not living things…

“Model establishment!”

Su Hao created a model out of a corpse.

A character model appeared within his mind. Rows of data appeared, but the model created was a completely dead object and couldn’t be moved.

“Something is missing.” Su Hao frowned slightly.

The model he built showed only one conclusion; it was a dead body and a dead body that can no longer die again. It had nothing to do with whether it could move or not. In other words, what supported their actions should be some other thing or some sort of mysterious force.

Is someone behind this?

Or something else…

Crack~

Crack~

The dead bodies became more active.

The boundary spirits surrounding everyone may erupt at any moment. Su Hao shook his head slightly, “I can’t find any reason, but they are indeed corpses. They should be driven or controlled by some kind of external force, just like how you all are able to control boundary spirits. It’s definitely not like the resurrection of a soul or something.”

“Phew~”

Everyone sighed in relief.

It’s just something controlling them?

This was still within their scope of acceptance. In this era of origin ability, they had seen too many magical talents. Not to mention, most of the spiritual type talents involve manipulation. Even living people could be controlled, let alone dead bodies. As long as it’s not a soul coming back to life, that would be fine.

“Then that’s easy to handle.” King of Fire said with a smile, “They couldn’t even pass through the hurdle while being alive. On what qualification do they have to be arrogant when they are dead? With our current strength, won’t it be easy to kill them?”

Twenty-five against twenty-five.

A group of fifty people arrived at the innermost part of Taihu Territory. Half of them were dead and now stood on the opposition.

Their first opponents were their former teammates.

“Kill!”

Deductions and calculations weren’t his forte, but when it comes to pure combat, King of Fire was the best. After Su Hao’s judgement, King of Fire led everyone to attack. On the small boats, those familiar figures also jumped out and clashed with them. In fact, the dead ones were actually stronger than before.

However, just as what King of Fire said, what could you do now that you’re dead?

Except for those few tough world espers that were handled by King of Fire and the others, the rest and even the domain espers weren’t an issue. Under their joint attack, it was just a moment of effort before everyone defeated these corpses.

Swish~

Those boats were turned over and destroyed.

“Phew~”

Everyone sighed in relief.

In particular, King of Fire and the others wiped off their sweat. Although most of the dead bodies were useless, those few dead world espers that failed to breakthrough and the one who got tricked by Su Hao earlier were extremely powerful. It took quite an effort before they managed to be killed.

“You did a great job there.” King of Fire couldn’t help but say.

“You should be glad that you’re not on the other side.” Su Hao said indifferently, which caused King of Fire to almost vomit blood.

However, obviously, Taihu Territory didn’t leave them any time for disputes. At this moment, countless small boats were floating over there from a distance. Everyone’s face was a little ugly. Weren’t they eliminated earlier? What was happening now?

Swish!

Another batch of ships showed up.

When King of Fire saw a figure, his pupils shrunk.

“You know him?” Su Hao raised his eyebrow.

“It’s them…” King of Fire was so shocked, “They were those who were wiped out in Taihu Territory completely from the last batch.”

“Last batch?”

“Total wipe off?”

Su Hao used Synchronize Space and revealed a wry smile, “Thirty! A total of thirty world espers. Seems that they were also received quite the benefit before dying. Now let’s pray. Let’s pray that they all died during the first spiritual sea storm. Otherwise… Hehe.”

Su Hao sneered.

Everyone was stunned. Just like what Su Hao mentioned, it would be for the better if those bodies were dead during the first trial. If they died during the second trial, then their strength…

“Attack now!”

“Don’t give them a chance!” King of Fire sounded cold. The flame warship slammed into the dead bodies. Before they managed to wake up, everyone already initiated the attack.

A battle broke out again!

Su Hao and the others didn’t stop their attacks. They gave their very best. In this strange situation, holding oneself back is only courting one’s own death.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Boom!

Boom!

All sorts of Rule Forces erupted.

The entire Taihu Territory experienced turmoil again.

When the advantage they gained from the surprise attack passed, as everyone fought, they finally realized the strength of those previous batch’s members. If they didn’t improve several times, the strength of these corpses would probably be above theirs! Even when they were strengthened, both sides were now about evenly matched.

Swish!

Fortunately, dead bodies were still corpses. Without human wisdom, even though they were powerful, the battle tip quickly tilted with everyone’s effort. As more dead bodies were beheaded, it soon became a one-sided affair, and the remainders would be wiped out without spending much time.

However, it was at this moment that a cry echoed.

“Again… They’re here again!”

“What?”

Everyone looked in shock.

Sure enough, in the distance, countless black shadows emerged. They were not sure which batch those bodies were from, but based on their appearance, those bodies should be from the previous two batches, right? This time, there were not many bodies with only fifteen world espers. However, even so, it still caused a great impact on everyone.

“Damn it, what is actually happening here?”

Everyone’s heart was alarmed.

“It should probably appear one batch after another.” Su Hao calmly analyzed, “Previous batch, previous two batches, based on this order, I am afraid it will go all the way to the first batch who came here…”

“Then, doesn’t that mean there are five more rounds?”

Everyone’s face turned ugly.

Up until now, Taihu Territory had been opened eight times so far. Even after removing those two batches and themselves, there were still five left!

If this was the case…

“Don’t hold back. End the battle fast, or you will be troubled by their siege later.” Su Hao said in a hurry.

“Alright.”

The crowd responded.

However, promising was one thing, but even if they wanted to speed up, they had no more strength. After several battles, everyone’s consumption was quite serious; gradually, they could no longer support the pace. After fighting back the waves of dead bodies, someone was finally killed.

“Pu~”

A world esper fell.

“One more dead!”

Everyone was stunned by this. Could they no longer hold on?

“There were two more waves left. They were only starting to explore back then. Most of them should be domain espers with very few world espers. Everyone, please hold on!” King of Fire roared. Everyone seemed to have regained a bit of their spirit, but following the death of the previous world esper, it was as if Pandora’s box had been opened.

Poof~

Poof~

Two more world espers fell to the ground and died.

“Kill! Kill!”

“It’s almost over!”

“Hold on!”

The crowd exploded with every bit of their leftover strength. Su Hao and Chen Ge also used up almost all of their powers. Finally, they completed their clash against the last wave, and they left with twenty-two of them.

In this battle, three died.

“Has it ended?”

Everyone sat on the warship, trying to catch their breath.

Finally, it was over.

If this was the innermost part of Taihu Territory, then it should still be within their level of loss acceptance. At least, not the entire party was annihilated.

Those were everyone’s thoughts.

As for Su Hao, he was literally so weak that he laid on the deck, he looked far away thoughtfully, “The dead would be resurrected. If so, then…”

“What did you say?” King of Fire was quite tired as he listened to Su Hao’s voice.

Su Hao put his gaze far away, “Is the battle really over like that?”
