Chapter 1395: Chapter 1258: Road of Huangquan: No Retreat, The Berserk Zombie Army Chapter 1395: Chapter 1258: Road of Huangquan: No Retreat, The Berserk Zombie Army Death Shadow loomed, and hundreds upon hundreds of Elemental Soul Pets were torn in half by the panic; the dark energy would enter their bodies, directly corroding them into black puddles.

The screams of various elves and elemental demons echoed along the Road of Huangquan, with seven hundred Elemental Soul Pets being annihilated in an instant; only a little over a hundred were successfully recalled with spells, the remaining two to three hundred were shackled by the dark power, and the Soul Pet Masters couldn’t recall their Soul Pets even if they recited the recall spell.

Shadow Beasts weaved through the elements, leaving no survivors in their wake. The Dominator-level Soul Pets on the other side, however, couldn’t unleash their skills, for their skills would also cause the most direct damage to these Elemental Soul Pets; not only would they fail to strike at the Shadow Beasts, they would inadvertently assist the Shadow Beasts in killing those Elemental Emperors.

A large group of sailors turned pale, the terror of the Shadow Beasts seeping deep into their hearts!

Elemental Soul Pets began to scatter and flee, but only less than two hundred managed to survive. At this time, the Dominator-level Soul Pets finally regrouped to encircle the Shadow Beast, pressing it with an attack!

Under the assault of the Dominator-level Soul Pets, the Shadow Beast suffered moderate injuries, but compared to the direct collapse of the elemental team, the true loss was borne by the Navy!

The elemental team had always been the staunchest force of the Army, their powerful elemental skills posing a great threat to high-grade creatures; but once they lost cohesion, they became utterly insignificant.

The elemental team of No. 3 Navy Department was thoroughly decimated!

The battle still raged, as numerous Dominator-level creatures watched the Shadow Beast with bated breath.

They kept launching attacks while worrying that the Shadow Beast would once again burst into the Emperor Army, causing a devastating blow to other teams.

“Boom!!!!!!!”

The Shadow Beast, possessing Beast Attribute, also had terrifying strength; the Steel Lion was sent flying by the Shadow Beast, its armor mutilated, its body rotten like a corpse.

Xia Zhixian hastily recited spells, coordinating healing and the removal of the Dark Corrosion from the Steel Lion. After some time, the Steel Lion’s life was barely saved.

However, the Steel Lion being crushed dealt a terrible blow to the entire Dominator-level team; not long after, out of the 20 Dominator-level Soul Pets, 6 had been killed, and 10 severely injured!

Fortunately, the Phantom Armor of the Wanzhao Beast somewhat stabilized the situation; with the effect of the Virtual Armor and the desperate resistance of many Beast Emperors, the Shadow Beast’s injuries gradually posed a threat to its combat power.

“Army, attack!” Military Advisor Huang Meng seized the opportunity and immediately dispatched the Beast Emperors and Wing type Emperors to wear down the Shadow Beast.

This attrition, plainly speaking, meant exchanging countless Emperor-level lives for the Shadow Beast’s vitality and strength.

Fresh blood flowed once more along the Road of Huangquan, the dense scent of blood growing increasingly pungent.

Wave after wave of Emperors were slain, their bodies piling up like trash on the blood-stained path.

This horrific scene was moving even to Chu Mu, whose gaze turned to their Great Leader Xu Kuang.

Even while the sailors’ Soul Pets were being slaughtered so tragically, Great Leader Xu Kuang still showed no intention of intervening, nor did he allow Leader Hai Que to take action.

Xu Kuang’s actions were not because of his cruel nature, nor did he regard the lives of the sailors’ Soul Pets as worthless; rather, as a Great Leader, he had to save his strength until the end, especially on the Road of Huangquan, where death could come at any moment. It was very possible that summoning one more Soul Pet here would lead to collapse later on the road, which would not only result in the destruction of the Navy’s Soul Pets, but the sailors themselves might all perish here!

Moreover, Chu Mu saw that the sailors didn’t bear any resentment or complaints about their leader’s indifference; as subordinates, they should pave the way for their leader with their lives. If everything required the leader’s intervention, then these sailors had no reason to exist!

“This is a Navy with a soul,” Sang Ying whispered softly.

Sang Ying remembered clearly when Zhao De’s Navy encountered the massacre by Chu Mu and Crown Prince Chao; they had utterly collapsed, not even daring to confront Chu Mu.

Yet, the sailors under Xu Kuang’s command, knowing full well they were heading to their deaths, bravely threw themselves into the fight; neither the Soul Pets nor the Soul Pet Masters complained.

This scene reminded Chu Mu of when he had ventured alone into the Soul Covenant-guarded Wanxiang City; one by one, his companions fell, paving the way for him with blood and life…

There are corrupt Navies, and surely there are upright and brave ones; originally, these should have been his enemies, yet at this moment, Chu Mu also felt a hint of respect.

After the fierce battle of over two thousand Emperors, less than a thousand remained; this loss undoubtedly was massive.

These more than a thousand lives had bought the Dominator-level Soul Pets a breather and had seriously depleted the Shadow Beast’s combat power…

“Roar!!!!!!!”

The Wanzhao Beast roared, shaking the Road of Huangquan. Surging golden energy barreled towards the Shadow Beast.

The Shadow Beast’s deep yellow eyes stared at the Wanzhao Beast; if it were to go all out for one strike, it could definitely break the Phantom Armor of the Wanzhao Beast and directly kill it.

But, after such an attack, it would also face the fatal assaults of many Dominators!

In its moment of hesitation, the Shadow Beast slowed its pace; the golden energy from the Wanzhao Beast bearing down caused the Shadow Beast to lose balance!

“Good! Everyone else, attack directly!” Commander Xu Kuang immediately ordered.

Almost no Soul Pet could confront the Shadow Beast head-on; the Wanzhao Beast’s valiant charge, after imposing a balance constraint on the Shadow Beast, made it possible for the other Dominators’ skills to hit the unsteady Shadow Beast.

Great Leader Xu Kuang knew the Wanzhao Beast’s maneuver was extremely dangerous, hence he highly praised the Wanzhao Beast!

Leader Tie Bing, Jiang Sea Commander including other admirals and sailors, all observed the vulnerability exposed by the Shadow Beast, and they promptly ordered their Soul Pets to launch attacks!

These Navy officers were all veterans of combat; their Soul Pets’ skills were quickly coordinated. Right after the Wanzhao Beast’s collision, a dozen skills bombarded the Shadow Beast simultaneously.

The skills of over a dozen Dominators mingled together, whether compatible or repelling, their collisions were filled with destructive force.

“Come back!” Chao Lengchuan knew his mission was complete and immediately recited the spell, retracting the Wanzhao Beast into the Soul Pet Space.

The power’s reach was too broad, and the Wanzhao Beast would surely not have escaped unscathed, so Chao Lengchuan retracted his Soul Pet very timely.

“Boom boom boom boom boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Instantly, a terrifying sound that could rupture eardrums erupted on Huangquan Road, and the entire vast cavern seemed as if it would collapse, with huge rocks from the ceiling continuously falling down due to the spreading energy.

The Shadow Beast turned into a shadow amidst the energy field; however, when so many Dominator-level creatures launched their attacks together, space itself could not be preserved, and even shadows would be shattered.

The body of the Shadow Beast was blown away, its black skin severely torn, exposing the white bones within the flesh.

“Huff huff huff huff~~~~~~~”

The storm generated by the skill howled past the ear, taking a long time to gradually dissipate.

Everyone’s gaze fixated on the chaotic Huangquan Road, where at the edge of the dimness, the Shadow Beast lay in a pool of blood, staring defiantly at everyone with its resentful deep yellow eyes!

Even though the creature was too severely wounded to stand, one could still see the powerful will to face all enemies alone from its eyes!

“I’ll go kill it to avenge my Devil’s Hand!” Yue Sea Commander shouted angrily!

The Devil’s Hand had been killed by the Shadow Beast during the battle, leaving Yue Sea Commander’s emotions far from settled!

The sailors whose Soul Pets had been slaughtered were also filled with rage, not knowing how many soldiers and Soul Pets had been sacrificed to severely wound the Shadow Beast. They felt it must be avenged with the life and blood of the Shadow Beast to mourn for those dead people and Soul Pets!

“What’s going on, where is the Shadow Beast?”

“Who… did it run away?”

“Chase it! Don’t let it get away!!”

The sailors suddenly started shouting, each of them following Huangquan Road in pursuit!

The Shadow Beast had vanished. Just as the sailors were closing in, the Shadow Beast mysteriously disappeared from its spot. The sailors did not witness the Shadow Beast getting up to flee; it just vanished into thin air, leaving behind a trail of its blood.

Xu Kuang frowned, his gaze turning towards Chu Mu at the side, noting a flicker of unusual silver in Chu Mu’s eyes.

Chu Mu averted his gaze, whispering, “Just now, a creature rescued the Shadow Beast, moving even faster than it could.”

Xu Kuang also saw that shadow. His gaze shifted back to the sailors, issuing an order with his Mental Sound, “All of you, get back here! Do you think not enough people have died and you want to send yourselves to death on Wangchuan’s turf?”

Roared by Xu Kuang in such a manner, all the sailors who had rushed out stopped in their tracks, eventually returning with righteous indignation.

“Military Advisor, tally the casualties, everyone else, take care of your surviving Soul Pets,” Xu Kuang directed.

The sailors sat down on the spot to rest, while Xia Zhixian had her Soul Pet set up a Sea of Flowers on Huangquan Road, which hastened the recovery speed of all creatures within it; however, this skill exhausted Xia Zhixian significantly.

“What’s that sound?” Suddenly, the Great Leader looked back at the path they had come from.

Everyone also sensed some noises, and for a moment, no one spoke.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble~~thump thump thump thump thump~~~~~~”

Gradually, the sound approached from afar, quickly closing in.

Both Huangquan Road and the cavern were shaking, shaking more and more violently, as if an army of thousands was surging up from beneath Huangquan Road, or as if a massive tide was swelling.

“I’ll have a look,” Chu Mu said, sensing something was wrong.

Chu Mu flew towards the Huangquan Road that led to The Other Side, followed immediately by Princess Jinrou.

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble~~thump thump thump thump thump~~~~~~”

The roaring grew nearer, and Chu Mu could even feel a putrid stench hitting his face!

Closer still, Chu Mu looked down the descending Huangquan Road, and although it was shrouded in darkness, he could feel a large mass of things writhing!

The dreadful scent assailed him, and Chu Mu felt as if he was standing on the edge of a beach facing an incoming sea disaster!

“Good heavens!” Princess Jinrou at his side suddenly cried out in shock!

“What on earth is it?” The darkness obstructed Chu Mu’s vision.

“A Corpse-based Army… so many… so many!!”

“They… they’re flooding… flooding Huangquan Road!!”

Chu Mu felt a chill in his heart!

They had no way out!!
