Chapter 58 The Ghost's First Move - Guo Hao! Mythical Spirit Orb - Appears in the World!
"Ichikawa!"
"They're here!"
Wang Yichuan took a deep breath.
He took out a dark purple spirit bead from the tactical pouch at his waist.
Thunder Spirit Orb!
He held the spirit orb in his palm and poured spiritual energy into it.
Dark purple light shone through his fingers, and arcs of lightning danced on his arm.
The next second, a thick bolt of lightning shot out from his palm and slammed into the wound on the golem's back.
"Sizzle~!"
Thunder poured into the wound on the golem's back.
"Boom!"
The dark red substance was blasted into countless fragments, and cracks spread outwards.
HP-634.
Li Yu followed closely behind.
The golden hammer slammed down fiercely!
The hammer slams down!
"Boom!"
The hammer slammed into the edge of the wound on the golem's lower back, sending shards of stone flying. The golem's body lurched violently, its knees buckled, and it nearly fell into the lake.
HP-728.
Su Chen watched this scene from the side, his heart racing.
There is hope!!!
This is the kind of damage a magical artifact should inflict on elite-level creatures.
Su Chen glanced at Xiao Zi.
"Little Purple," Su Chen said in a low voice, "wait for the right opportunity to deliver the final blow!"
Little Purple was exhausted. It twitched its ears and let out a low "woof" in response.
Su Chen, on the other hand, was incredibly excited.
He originally thought that this golem was impossible to kill, so he didn't even know if the sixth level would end.
Even if the results are settled, not winning will definitely have a huge impact on his ability to receive the reward!
He even considered using the Hellfire Type 1 Super Bomb, which would surely resolve the instance.
However, doing so would have a negative impact.
After all, they were simply outmatched, not threatened, which doesn't quite fit the conditions for using this Hellfire.
Everyone worked so hard to achieve this, and if he loses points because of it afterward, he'll definitely be cursed to death.
Who knew... that I would actually have this opportunity now.
And the one who created this miracle was actually Yang Fan!
"This guy, he didn't even include me in the demolition team! He let me rack up points, so I'll share half the reward with him."
"If I were to go and blow it up, I feel like I really have a chance to break 100 points on level 6!"
This method wasn't something only Yang Fan could think of; the main reason was that everyone had used a lot of grenades before, which also exploded at close range, but none of them had this effect!
When the sticky explosives were applied, no one expected this outcome.
So it was a pleasant surprise!
......
The center of the lake.
The others, seeing the golem's unusual state, also saw an opportunity.
"Aim for the wound in the back! Focus fire!"
Gunshots, arrows, and psionic attacks mingled together above the lake.
Various attacks rained down on the golem's back wound.
HP continues to decline.
-33, -57...
The golem's regeneration speed is clearly not keeping up with the stacking damage!
Its body began to show obvious signs of imbalance.
A crack was blasted open at the joint of Wang Yichuan's left leg by lightning, and black magma-like material seeped out from the crack, dripping into the lake water and making a hissing corrosion sound.
But the golem can really fight!
It once again created several waterspouts.
The key point is... when water rushes onto its surface, its health points are rapidly restored!
Seeing this, Su Chen gritted his teeth, holding his last remaining combat item, and said, "Damn it! I'll blow it up too!"
"Little Purple! Come with me!"
Zhou Chengjie's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement: "Give it another push! It's about to give up! We can definitely wear it down!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
.......
Just then...
Across the lake, from the shadows of another cave entrance in the rock face, more than a dozen figures emerged.
Guo Hao and others!
They burst out from the crack on the east side.
At this moment, they looked quite clean, as if... they hadn't experienced any intense battles along the way.
Zhou Chengjie caught a glimpse of that figure out of the corner of his eye, and his brows furrowed slightly.
But they do need help.
Everyone has exhausted their strength, and they have used up almost all the available methods.
The arrival of Guo Hao's team will at least replenish a batch of fresh troops.
Although some of the credit may be taken away, after fighting this battle for so long, the points that are due can't be missed.
Zhou Chengjie took a deep breath, about to speak...
Guo Hao made a move.
He pulled something from his waist, arched his arm, and threw it forward with a sudden jerk.
The thing drew a dark red arc in the air and flew straight toward the golem in the center of the lake.
Zhou Chengjie's eyes widened suddenly.
Hellfire Type 1 Super Bomb!
"Guo Hao! What are you doing?!" Zhou Chengjie's voice changed.
But it was too late.
The bomb landed at the golem's feet, and the instant it hit the rock...
"Boom!"
Dark red flames exploded from the center of the lake.
These are not ordinary flames, they are hellfire!
A terrifying flame specifically designed to deal with warrior-level creatures, with a temperature reaching tens of thousands of degrees, capable of burning through even psionic armor.
Flames swept outwards, evaporating a huge hole in the lake's surface, filling the entire space with the pungent smell of water vapor mixed with sulfur.
The golem was engulfed in flames, letting out an unprecedented, deafening roar.
But Zhou Chengjie didn't have time to pay attention to the golem.
Because of him, around him, behind him, and in every corner of the riverbank...
The fire is spreading!
The terror of Hellfire is no joke! It's a trump card capable of severely injuring a warrior-level creature.
A pale blue barrier lit up on everyone's body.
The Spirit Armor Army's energy shield kept the Hellfire out, and violent ripples spread across the surface of the barrier.
Zhou Chengjie stared at the figure across the lake, his chest heaving violently.
He couldn't understand what Guo Hao was doing!
"Guo Hao! What do you mean?!"
On the other side of the lake, Guo Hao did not stop.
His expression was contorted, as if years of suppressed anger were finally unleashed at this moment.
He drew another Hellfire from his waist with his right hand!
Zhao Kang stared wide-eyed at him, reaching out to stop him, but he couldn't.
"Are you crazy?! One is enough! Why do you want to throw a second one?"
Guo Hao ignored him completely, swung his arm in a wide arc, and the second Hellfire shot out of his hand, flying towards the golem once again.
"Boom!"
The second layer of flames superimposed on the first, causing the temperature in the lake's center to instantly soar to a new level.
The dark red flames even began to take on an eerie dark purple hue.
The golem's roar came from the flames, turning from sharp to muffled, and from muffled to faint.
Zhou Chengjie clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
If it weren't for the protective barrier of the Spirit Armor Army, he would be dead by now.
This is downright murder!!!
Even if he and Guo Hao had a conflict, this was really going too far!
"Guo Hao! Do you know what you're doing?!"
Guo Hao's face flickered in and out of focus in the firelight.
His voice was even louder than Zhou Chengjie's, as if he wanted to shout out all his grievances and anger: "What do I mean?! I'd like to ask you, what do you mean?!"
He pointed to the gathering place of the five teams across the lake and said, "Our two teams have been wandering around for over three hours! Over three hours! Do you know what we encountered? Small monsters! All small monsters! There were probably eighty of them in total!"
"Look at you guys, all five teams must have been together by now! You've been fighting for over two hours, how many monsters have you killed? How many points have you gotten? And what about us? We've been running around in circles!"
"What? Is it really that unfair that I have to put up with this?!"
Zhao Kang stood to the side, wanting to speak several times, but his mouth opened and closed again.
He has known Guo Hao for over ten years.
He knew Guo Hao's temperament; he usually seemed calm and collected, but once pushed to the limit, he was capable of anything.
The key point is that he had also thought about this question on the way: Was it intentional for Zhou Chengjie to arrange Guo Hao to be at the east entrance?
But... even so, throwing Hellfire will destroy everyone's points.
This golem is clearly in very poor condition right now!
But they're full of energy right now, so if they were to snatch it, it wouldn't be too much, and it could even be considered revenge!
There's absolutely no need to use Hellfire!
Zhou Chengjie took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone steady.
"I'm the commander. The west entrance is the largest, so I chose to enter from the west. What's the problem with that? As for you being assigned to the east side..."
He paused, but did not deny it.
"We really don't get along. It's perfectly normal for me to put you on the other side, isn't it?"
Guo Hao sneered.
"Normal!? Okay, that's fine, you admit it!"
"I'm just saying this behavior is normal. As for how many points you get, that's not something I can decide! After all, the situation inside the nest is unknown, how could I possibly know?"
"And the intelligence said there were twenty elite-level Flame Demons. Have you seen them? You definitely haven't!"
"Because we've never seen it before! The information the school gave us is all fake. How can you expect me to know everything about this place???"
Zhou Chengjie's tone gradually turned genuinely angry: "This golem is very special. We've been fighting it for almost half an hour, and we were about to succeed! When you came over, I was still thinking that we should each rely on our own abilities, and I'd accept it if you stole the credit!"
"And what about you? You just threw Hellfire, and the golem's kill points are gone! All of our points are gone! What the hell are you thinking?!"
Guo Hao, with his fiery temper, only believed in his own ideas and immediately continued to argue back.
"The intelligence was provided by you guys; it might even mention the situation at all four entrances!!!"
"..."
.......
Just as their argument was about to escalate...
In the heart of the lake, a sudden and unexpected change occurred.
Suddenly, a light blue glow burst forth from that dark purple hellfire.
The light was very faint at first, like a candle flame in the wind, flickering precariously.
Then, the light suddenly surged, illuminating the entire lake as if it were daytime.
Everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
The light, at its peak, suddenly contracted.
All the light converges, compresses, and solidifies towards that one point.
The flames died down! The lake returned to calm in an instant.
The golem's body stood frozen in place, the dark red patterns on its surface had lost their luster, the rock had turned from grayish-white to dead gray, and cracks covered its entire torso.
It looks like it has been weathered for thousands of years and could crumble into dust at any moment.
And on its chest, at the brightest point, where all the light converges...
A sea-blue bead floats in mid-air.
The beads are small, only about the size of a baby's fist.
Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, but inside there are countless fine lines flowing slowly, like some kind of ancient runes.
In the dimly lit underground space, it emitted a soft, pulsating, ice-blue light.
Quiet!
Deathly silence!
Everyone's attention was drawn to the bead.
"Mythical Spirit Orb..."
I don't know who it was, but they uttered those four words in a voice that was almost audible to themselves.
Then, everyone shouted it out.
"Holy crap! A mythical spirit orb!?"
"It really does seem to be a mythical spirit pearl!"
"This golem actually contains a mythical spirit pearl inside its body!?"
"Wait...did the school put the mythical spirit orb here as a reward for the assessment?!"
"It wasn't the school that put it there, was it? How could the school possibly put such a treasure inside a monster in the abyss?"
"This golem is so strange, but now it seems normal! It possesses mythical power!!!"
"We've struck gold! We've struck gold! With the Mythical Spirit Orb, each of our teams will get a pretty good share of the money, right?"
"There are too many people this time, five...seven teams. Even if this Mythical Spirit Pearl is worth five million or more, after being divided according to contribution, it will probably only amount to tens of thousands."
"Tens of thousands isn't much?! That's enough for several weeks!!!"
Guo Hao frowned upon seeing the Mythical Spirit Pearl.
When he arrived and saw that Zhou Chengjie and the other five teams were already together, his anger flared up.
As for the lava golem in the center of the lake, its normal strength is only at the peak of the elite level.
Although it was a large sum of money, it didn't stop him from venting his anger.
But now... a mythical spirit orb has appeared!!!
He used Hellfire, so that definitely doesn't count as a contribution...
Seeing Zhou Chengjie looking at him coldly, he snorted.
"snort!"
