Chapter 44: Breaking Away from the Ranks

There were thousands of roads in the ancient city, and the routes traveled by the teams of the four countries were all different, and the map given to them by the Inspector only marked part of the ancient city, although it was also possible to reach the Icon Palace. However, it undoubtedly adds some difficulty to the four teams. This was also a joint decision of the elders of the referee group present.

After leaving the open square, the Inspector Elders who were in charge of leading them handed over a map of the ancient city to the leader of each team. Then, let them choose how they want to accomplish their goals.

After the Inspector had explained what had happened, he left on his own and left the teams to play, hiding in the shadows to watch each team play. After receiving the regional map of the ancient city, the leader of each team will first focus on the discussion and discuss the route forward.

The area where Sun Xiaofei's team is located is located in the northwest of the ancient city, and there are many ancient revenant beasts and a small number of powerful people who have entered the ancient city and lost their nature. Their team leader was a member of the royal family, who was in his early twenties, not weak, level-headed, and quite sophisticated, and must have undergone a lot of rigorous training in the palace.

Under his command, the team moved along one of the agreed paths. At the beginning of the journey, nothing happened, and just when everyone was in doubt and secretly felt strange, disaster suddenly struck. There are some illusory revenants in appearance and shape, and powerful beasts have appeared.

The long-standing souls of the ancient city and many mutated demonic beasts poured out wildly and rushed towards their ranks. These revenants and alien beasts are all bound by the seal, guarding this ancient city for life, and they cannot leave the confines of the ancient city, as long as they leave the ancient city, they will disappear into ashes.

However, as long as they are in the ancient city, these revenants and alien beasts will be reborn with the help of the power of the seal, which is equivalent to an immortal body. Moreover, after devouring the flesh and aura of other creatures, it can further enhance their strength and promote body transformation. Once Sun Xiaofei and the others' team is surrounded by the army of revenants, they will undergo a severe test. Any slight mistake can be fatal.

The cultivation of the revenant souls and alien beasts was high and low, and the first wave of the revenant army that Sun Xiaofei and the others encountered was not very strong, and they were easily wiped out by their own means. When killing these revenants, someone discovered that there was a small energy core in the body of the revenant, and these energy cores were full of pure energy, which was suitable for them to cultivate and absorb. This discovery surprised the people present on the team.

If they can kill these revenant souls or alien beasts, they can get these special energies that rely on seals to survive in the world, this kind of energy core has the effect of helping these people to increase their cultivation, and a small number of special energy cores can also promote the transformation of the soul and enhance the power of the soul.

After the people in the team learned that the energy core had this benefit, some of them immediately couldn't resist the temptation and actively threw themselves into the hunt for the souls and beasts. After a while, all the revenants and a small number of strange beasts were cleared, and everyone in the team had more or less obtained this energy core.

The teams of the other three empires have also been attacked by the revenants, and all three teams have their own ways of dealing with the revenants. The Soraguey Imperial team has a more conservative approach to combat, with some people casting magical defenses and others magical abilities. Excellent teamwork, the moment the revenant appears, first use magic to delay the opponent's action, and then perform a ranged magic attack to eliminate.

The Night Empire's approach was very different from that of the Solaguey Empire, and as soon as they saw the souls, they rushed over one by one, like a hungry wolf seeing their prey, and slaughtered them.

However, when it comes to dealing with the Revenant, it is still the team of the Holy Court that is better at it. The light system they cultivated itself possessed the power to purify the soul. It's the best way to deal with some evil aliens and dark creatures.

"Light Purification!"

The Holy Maiden of the Holy Court took out the Book of Oracles and recited it in a low voice, and suddenly a circle of incomparably pure light power burst out, spreading in all directions, and those souls who were illuminated by the light immediately melted like snow, and the few who could resist for a long time could not escape the fate of being killed in the end.

In the blink of an eye, the souls of those who attacked the Holy Court team were wiped out, leaving only the energy cores that had lost their spirituality, floating in mid-air.

There were special people in the Holy See who collected these things, and the Holy Maiden gave an order to the Holy Court knights and priests who were protecting her to move forward immediately, and be sure to rush in front of the other teams to reach the Icon Palace.

The speed of the four teams was almost the same at first, but in the back, because there were more and more revenants, and there were many powerful revenants among them, and some terrifying beasts continued to appear, making it difficult for the four teams to advance.

At this time, it also shows the difference in the ability of each team. The Holy See is the fastest in terms of speed, the strongest in the Soracuay Empire in terms of attack, and almost everywhere it passes, all the souls that stand in its way are wiped out. The Night Empire's team is a bit faster than the Solaguey Empire, with the Raptors at the bottom.

Leading the team of Sun Xiaofei and others is Albert, the third prince of the royal family, although each team has an area map in their hands, but through other ways and the sound of battle in the distance, they can still perceive the approximate location of the other three teams, and the people of the Raptors Empire are naturally unwilling to lag behind the other teams.

Albert ordered some of the men to fly from above to see if they could get through the vast area in this way.

As soon as some people fly up, they feel a huge pressure on their bodies, and the higher they rise, the greater the pressure.

Suddenly, a strange voice was heard, and the people below were prepared and undisturbed. The man in mid-air was not so lucky, he was affected by the bewilderment sound, and then his body swayed, and he could not control his balance and fell straight down. If it weren't for someone below to answer, I'm afraid I would have to suffer some damage.

Seeing this situation, everyone present knew that they were afraid that they would not be able to fly through the air. Not to mention the strange sounds that suddenly appeared, the huge pressure generated by the unprovoked pressure in mid-air alone made it difficult to fly.

"Third Prince, according to the reports of the various teams sent out, they have all run to the front of our team. ”

"Well, we're going to have to speed it up. Eriksen, Hess, Ryan... A few of you are the strongest, so open the way in front, and we will follow. After listening to the words of his subordinates, the third prince Albert thought about it for a while and made a decision, that is, to use Sun Xiaofei and the others as a sharp knife to clear the obstacles for the team's advancement.

Sun Xiaofei, Erikson, and Hess listened and could only do what he said. Who is more noble than theirs?

With them in front of them to resist the attack of the revenants, the speed of the team of the Raptors Empire suddenly increased a lot, and they were about to catch up with the team in front. Fierce fighting could be faintly heard in the distance.

"Your Highness, a large army of revenants has appeared on the road behind. ”

"Get out of here now, is the road ahead open?"

"Your Highness, the road ahead can be walked. ”

"Let's go! ”

Led by the third prince Albert, the team stormed a road in the ancient city. Everywhere behind them, the spirits of the dead, clad in ancient armor and with rusty weapons in their hands, swarmed in pursuit.

Their traces were discovered by the eyeliner sent by the Night Empire, who immediately reported to Reeves, the leader of the Night Empire's team. Reeves listened, a strange smile appeared on his face, and a vicious idea came to his mind.
