Chapter 1117: Stalemate and Breakthrough
The last ghost, because it has devoured the true spirit seed of the same kind, or it can also be said to be divinity, has changed a lot compared to the previous ghosts. As a result, the methods that Ye Zan and others used on those ghosts before became less effective on this ghost, which made the battle situation a little stalemate for a while.
The Lin family siblings and Qi Qianjun, who had been watching the battle from the periphery, saw that the plan did not seem to be going well, so they asked Ye Zan if they needed to fight by themselves and others. However, after all, the three of them were only in the Yuan Shen Realm, and even if they had the same Dao Realm power as the plug-in, it was impossible for them to compete with Tongtian-level opponents.
On Ye Zan's side, after listening to Lin Mumu's inquiry, there was not much worry on his face, but he said with a smile: "Don't worry, compared with before, it is just a little more difficult now, but it is far from the time when we are helpless." Moreover, if there is really no way out there, it will not be useful for you to go up, so you should find a way to escape from here first. ”
In Ye Zan's words, he did not mean to despise a few people, after all, the Lin family sisters and brothers and Qi Qianjun were really their own people. It is precisely because he is his own person that he will speak so bluntly, and he does not have to worry about any misunderstanding they have caused by this. At the same time, it is precisely because he is his own person that he tells them the worst possible so that they can be prepared.
"If so...... Then my sister and I will go and prepare?" Lin Mumu heard what Ye Zan meant, and asked again in a low voice.
Ye Zan nodded, with a plan to be prepared, and said: "Well, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, although the situation is not bad to that extent, it always doesn't hurt to make some plans in advance." ”
Lin Mumu didn't say anything more, turned around to find his sister Lin Miaomiao, and the two sisters and brothers secretly prepared for a possible retreat. Of course, the two sisters and brothers must not be too obvious when making this preparation, so as not to affect everyone on the battlefield again. In case it could have been won, but it turned out to be demoralizing because of this, it would have been self-defeating.
After confessing to Lin Mumu, Ye Zan's attention remained on the battlefield, commanding the indigenous heroes to cooperate with the enemy, while maximizing the power of the Eye of Insight. But whenever there is a slightest possibility, he doesn't want to choose to run away, he has come for ninety miles, and he is just a few steps away, how can he give up like this.
Under the command of Ye Zan, the indigenous heroes on the battlefield have all switched from attack to defense at this time. This defense, of course, is not a simple passive defense, but a defensive position to continue to besiege that ghost. The ghost, sensing the effect of the trap on itself, refused to stay in the trap area honestly, always trying to break through and get out of here. And what the indigenous heroes have to do is to constantly block the breakthrough of the ghosts, and keep the ghosts in the trap at all times.
Of course, this shift from offense to defense completely abandons the attack on the ghosts, which means that there will be no more consumption of the ghosts. There is a saying that "if you defend for a long time, you will lose", and defense is only a temporary measure after all, and it cannot be held on for a long time. The power of the ghost is almost endless, but the power of the indigenous heroes is limited, and in the end, it is the indigenous heroes who can't afford it.
For Ye Zan's strategy of switching from offense to defense, the indigenous heroes actually couldn't understand it in their hearts, they were very clear about the gap in strength between themselves and the ghosts, and naturally knew that they couldn't hold it for long. Fortunately, with the tacit understanding cultivated by the previous cooperation, coupled with Ye Zan's honesty and trust in exchange, although they didn't understand Ye Zan's intentions, they still did as he was told.
As a result, the situation on the battlefield has changed, and all the indigenous heroes who participated in the war are no longer "brainless", but have built layers of barriers around the ghosts. The energy that shone with various colors of light surrounded the ghosts from all directions, as if a colorful dome had been condensed in this area. Of course, due to the continuous breakthrough of the ghosts, the shell of this giant egg is also constantly broken, and then it is made up by the indigenous heroes, and then broken and made up again, and the cycle continues.
Ye Zan's eye of insight can see through the obstacles of those energy barriers, and clearly see the ghosts surrounded in it. In the eye of insight, the energy circulation on the ghost's body, as well as the continuous flickering of the power of the law, were all clearly presented. Although, from the eye of insight, the structure of the ghost is still the same structure, and the cycle is still the same cycle, the changes are much more complicated than those before the ghosts.
"Lagris retreats, Ignatz fills the place!" Ye Zan was observing the ghosts, but he did not delay the command of the indigenous heroes, and when he saw that someone's strength was too much consumed, he still commanded the reserve team to step forward in time to replace him.
The Golden Holy Sword Lagris, at this time, was a little embarrassed, although there were no serious wounds on his body, but the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water. Sweat continued to seep out of his body, and his golden curls were stuck to his head one by one, and his body was constantly rising in clumps of steam, just like coming out of a hot spring pool in the cold winter.
Lagris didn't go to rest, but after exiting the battlefield, he went straight to Ye Zan and asked breathlessly: "Ye, why did you suddenly change your strategy, if we continue to defend like this, I'm afraid we will only drag ourselves down in the end, right?"
When they were on the battlefield, although the indigenous heroes had doubts in their hearts, and although they had communicators to talk to Yezan, no one directly objected to the command. On the one hand, they have a certain trust in Ye Zan and emotionally don't think that Ye Zan will pit them. On the other hand, they also know that in battle, questioning the commander is the most stupid thing to do.
Therefore, it was only now, when Lagris got off the battlefield, that he came to Ezan and asked Ezan for the reason.
"Before, when you just fought with the other party, you should have experienced it first-hand, and the original set is no longer good. If we continue to attack the ghosts as we have done as before, we will only be able to escape the trap by the ghosts. You should also know that the effect of this trap on the ghost cannot be ignored. Ezan continued to direct the battle while distractedly answering Lagres's questions.
Lagris nodded, recalling the feelings of the previous fight, and said, "Indeed, this ghost is very different from the original ones, and our original methods are indeed difficult to work. It's just that if we turn to defense like this, even if we can keep trapping the ghost in the trap, it will be difficult for us to hold out for too long!"
"I'm aware of this problem, so I've been trying to figure it out, just hoping that you guys can buy me more time. Ye Zan said very frankly, and did not give any false hope.
"This ...... I hope you can think of a solution to it in time!" Lagris also looked very helpless when he heard Ye Zan's answer. He couldn't blame Ye Zan for anything, after all, Ye Zan had done a lot of good things so far with his god-level strength. Of course, he does hope that Ye Zan can come up with a better way, although the hope seems to be quite slim, but who says that he can't think of a way.
The battle on the battlefield continued, and time passed little by little, and Lagres, who had been replaced before, also joined the battle again with the golden holy sword. Moreover, as the battle progressed, there were no reserves left on the side of the indigenous heroes, and everyone joined the battle. Only the Earth Spear Alain Dilon still maintains the ground on the periphery of the battlefield and protects those jammers underground, but it is not easier than everyone on the battlefield.
Although the battle was very difficult, there were no casualties on the side of the indigenous heroes, and Yezan's command was always based on the important premise of avoiding casualties. After all, as long as people are alive and can still play a role after recovering for a while, they can't play a role at all when they die. The reason why there are no reserves is because after the full switch to defense, there is almost no need to think about the restraint of attributes, so everyone is sent to the battlefield.
Of course, the absence of reserves also means that the situation has reached the most critical time, and it is impossible for Ye Zan to delay for more time.
Fortunately, after this period of observation and analysis, Ye Zan is not completely without harvest here, and the method of coping has gradually taken shape in his heart. After some calculations and simulations, Ye Zan suddenly issued an order to all the indigenous heroes, asking them to instantly expand the encirclement to the limit.
Although the indigenous heroes did not understand Ye Zan's intentions, they still acted strictly according to the instructions out of trust, and everyone instantly retreated while maintaining the oppression of the ghosts. As they retreated, the center of the ghost's location was suddenly given up to a wider space, leaving the ghost alone there.
As the scope of the encirclement expanded, the barrier that the indigenous heroes were able to build naturally became much thinner. However, at this time, in the face of the obviously thin barrier, the ghost did not continue to break through, but stood in the center as if at a loss.
Of course, ghosts, which act on instinct, are actually not easily overwhelmed, after all, they don't need to think too much about it like humans. And the real reason why it stopped in place was that while the indigenous heroes retreated, Ye Zan also made adjustments to the underground jammers.
Ye Zan adjusted the fluctuation frequency of the jammer, turning the interference effect on the ghost energy body into a stable condensation effect. In other words, what the ghost feels now is no longer the oppressive and uncomfortable feeling caused by the disturbance of the body, but an extremely comfortable feeling on the contrary.
"Woo!" The ghost standing in the encirclement raised his head and let out a long roar, completely without any intention of breaking through.
"This ...... What is the situation?" the Sun King was puzzled when he saw this and asked Ye Zan through the communicator. After all, the energy waves emitted by that jammer were something that they couldn't feel, and naturally it was difficult for them to understand the changes in the ghosts.
"Don't worry, I just tweaked the trap and turned the nerf into an enhancement, so the ghost is enjoying it now. Ye Zan also passed on his response to the Sun King directly to all the indigenous heroes through the communicator.
And hearing Ye Zan's response, not only the Sun King's face was full of astonishment, but the other indigenous heroes were also very puzzled. Fortunately, through the previous incidents, they have more trust in Ye Zan, and they will not suspect Ye Zan's intentions because of this. But even so, they couldn't understand Ye Zan's approach, that ghost was already strong enough, how could they help it strengthen?
"Ye, what the hell is going on, that ghost is already difficult to deal with, how can you still do this?" the Sun King asked in confusion, and his tone couldn't help but carry a bit of complaint. That's right, he believed that Ye Zan would not harm them, but he couldn't figure out what Ye Zan was going to do, so he instinctively thought about the worst.
"Don't worry, I naturally do this for a reason, and I will never joke with your lives. For now, you just need to stay around and use that time to adjust as quickly as possible. Ye Zan didn't explain too much, after all, it can't be explained in three or two sentences, and those indigenous heroes still need to hurry up and recover.
After listening to Ye Zan's words, although those indigenous heroes did not get the answers they wanted, they still began to rest and adjust according to Ye Zan's instructions. From a distance, the indigenous heroes who formed a circle were like a circle of lights and cannons that suddenly lost power, and all the energy and light on their bodies were extinguished at once. The entire battlefield, the entire trap area, from the previous roar, also fell into an eerie silence all of a sudden.
Looking at the center of the trap area again, the ghost seemed to be enjoying himself incomparably at this time, folding his legs and spreading his arms, hanging in the air like a flying immortal. Under the reaction of the trap jammer, the cohesion of the ghosts themselves has been greatly improved, and they continue to absorb the energy of those scattered ghosts from all around, so that the black fog in all directions continues to surge like a tide.
As a large amount of ghost energy poured in and was absorbed and condensed into the body, the ghost's body swelled in circles. After all, the density of its energy body is limited, and it is impossible to compress the energy indefinitely, so it can only increase the energy body, which is like a balloon that is constantly inflated.
Seeing this situation, the hearts of the indigenous heroes seemed to have guessed Ye Zan's intentions. Looking at the ghost that had swelled several times, the Sun King asked Ye Zan through the communicator, "Ye, are you going to break it?"
That's right, anyone who sees this scene will probably think of such a result, that is, the ghost greedily continues to absorb power, and finally blows itself up with a "boom". Although, to the indigenous heroes, this idea seems a bit absurd, but considering that the ghost itself has no intelligence, it seems that such a possibility is really possible.
"Blow it up, almost!" Ye Zan couldn't help but be a little amused when he heard the Sun King's guess, but he continued: "Strictly speaking, it's not to blow it up, and it's impossible to blow it up. However, my plan is also a little related to this, after all, it is still aimed at the stability of its energy body. ”
