Chapter: Two-in-One Chapter!
Before the dried corpses gathered in large numbers, they posed almost no threat to Ye Zhongming.
However, what Ye Zhongming needed to do now was to clear out a piece of land here, allowing the rear team to rise from the pit. This was different from a self-defense type of battle.
After remaking an Edge of the Moon, Ye Zhongming chopped the surrounding dried corpses into several segments, but he could only step forward a few paces.
In areas he couldn't cover, the corpses quickly filled the gaps, forcing Ye Zhongming to shift and attack again.
At first, the situation was somewhat manageable when the twin sisters stayed by his side, but as they had to expand more space around, the situation started worsening significantly.
After consecutively using several professional skills, the number of dried corpses around began to decrease.
At this time, the team had already begun to jump out of the pit, but the cleared area was only about a hundred square meters—a space clearly insufficient for the team to establish a foothold.
Fortunately, the dried corpses controlled by the Tree Man crawled up from the side, relieving some pressure on Ye Zhongming.
After observing the route they needed to advance, Ye Zhongming decided to change his approach.
He transmitted some of his consciousness to the Silver Corpse, and the twin sisters immediately gathered the remaining Iron Corpses together.
Due to their strong control over the Iron Corpses, the team quickly assembled and began charging in the direction pointed out by Ye Zhongming.
The dried corpses controlled by the Tree Man and some warriors who had gotten up earlier took over the vacancies left behind.
With several powerful evolvers as nodes, the team entered a defensive state, while only the twin sisters and their controlled Iron Corpses maintained an offensive stance.
They wove through the horde of dried corpses and, after a detour, charged towards Ye Zhongming’s position.
After all, the dried corpses weren't so numerous that it made one's scalp tingle. Once the Iron Corpses stirred them up, confusion ensued immediately; some attempted to surround the Iron Corpses to eliminate them, while others continued to attack Ye Zhongming and the others' defenses. Under these circumstances, the strength of the dried corpses was suddenly dispersed.
Feeling the pressure lift, Ye Zhongming led his people to counterattack, working together with the Iron Corps to surround and annihilate a large number of dried corpses.
The cleared area immediately expanded significantly.
However, Ye Zhongming knew that this method only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. He was merely exchanging the deaths of Iron Corpses for some space, which wouldn't significantly affect the overall battle situation.
Seeing that most of the team had come up, he immediately led them to flee in the predetermined direction.
The battle had not stopped since it began. The team was unable to completely eliminate the dried corpses; instead, new corpses were continuously arriving, increasing the pressure.
For the time being, the dried corpses were unable to do anything against this human team. With Ye Zhongming, the twin sisters, the Tree Man, and other powerful fighters present, the defense, although seemingly precarious, had yet to collapse.
"The Death Vine has appeared!"
The people at the back of the team shouted in panic as those mobile Death Vines had crawled up from the pit and were madly pursuing from behind.
"The horde over there seems to be fully assembled!" Mina pointed in a direction. There, tens of thousands of dried corpses had gathered, circling around to the front of the team.
Ye Zhongming frowned, knowing that they were completely under the control of the Yama Tree. Their objective was to exit the city, which was too easy to guess. The Yama Tree could have set up defenses early on to intercept them.
Just as he was thinking about the Yama Tree, it seemed to want to assert its presence, letting out a sharp scream. The Death Vines, which had been rushing at the back of the team, suddenly froze.
