They won! Xiao Jie’s heart suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, he even felt as if he’d survived a great disaster. There were a few instances just now when he thought the entire team was on the brink of collapse.
If the front row couldn’t hold up and allowed the Corpse King to charge into the crowd and go on a killing spree, it probably would have indeed collapsed.
If that had happened, he would have just had to take a chance and see if he could escape using Phantom Traceless.
Fortunately, the team leader commanded effectively, the soldiers followed orders bravely, and of course, with him, the powerful Guest Elder unleashing Ultimate Skills, they finally won this game.
Others also began to cheer, with a burst of excited cheering in YY.
However, the battle continued. Even though the Corpse King was killed, the Resurrected Zombies continued to rise and lunged at the people, and a few Mining Zombies were still left.
Luckily, with no further threat from the BOSS, everyone reorganized the formation a bit and immediately took control of the situation.
Mining Zombies were chopped down and stabbed one after another, and those Resurrected Zombies couldn’t keep rising indefinitely. Xiao Jie took the time to observe closely and clearly noticed that each time a Resurrected Zombie rose, its Blood Volume would be halved. When it was reduced to about 40 Blood Volume, it wouldn’t rise again.
Dual Blades executed a Helical Slash, taking down several 40 and 80 Blood Volume Resurrected Zombies on the ground. Against these inferior products, he didn’t need to use any secret techniques; ordinary Combat Skills were enough to kill them instantly.
As he watched the zombies being killed off mostly, the battle was about to end.
However, a somewhat glaring figure appeared in front of Xiao Jie.
Duan Zui (Resurrected Zombie): Level 19, Life Value 400.
It was that player who was bitten to death by the Corpse King!
At this moment, his body was dark green, his eyes blood red, his mouth full of sharp teeth, having transformed into a zombie, yet he still held his long spear in his hands, emitting a deep growling sound.
This monster wasn’t actually a big threat because the transformed zombie couldn’t inherit the skills it had in life; it was just an ordinary zombie with a little over 400 Life Value.
Yet Xiao Jie still took a step back.
"Leader, you handle this one."
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use didn’t say anything, he went up and with a set of flashy combos, he killed it.
Then he directly put the corpse into his backpack.
Xiao Jie was slightly stunned. Was this collecting a teammate’s corpse? But collecting bodies in the game was useless... yet he didn’t say anything.
The battle finally ended then. As several bonfires were lit in this huge cave, illuminating the surrounding space, the details of the cave were fully revealed to everyone.
While others were exploring the corners, looking for the entrance to the next level tunnel, staying alert to ensure safety, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use cut out of the game and clicked on the QQ group.
He double-clicked on a member’s avatar and opened a private room.
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: Duan Zui, how are you?
Duan Zui: I’m okay, Leader. Did you guys win? No one else died, right?
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: We won. The Corpse King has been taken down, everyone is fine.
Duan Zui: That’s good... As long as everyone is okay.
That line seemed to carry a kind of silent silence, making Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s heart ache. Unlike the Outer Circle member who died a few days ago, he knew Duan Zui. They had drunk together at a guild team-building event and sang karaoke together.
Moreover, unlike that guy who doomed himself, Duan Zui hadn’t done anything wrong. He had acted entirely on his orders, executed the plan systematically, held the line in battle, and had not done anything excessive, yet he had still died...
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s hand on the keyboard was shaking, not out of fear, but because of guilt.
Was there a problem with his command? Was his decision to go to the mines wrong? Perhaps he should have chosen to attack Hundred Wolves Cave or Black Wind Mountain... If so, maybe he wouldn’t have died.
The chaotic thoughts in his mind left him unsure of what to say.
In the end, it was Duan Zui who spoke first.
Duan Zui: Leader, take good care of my parents for me. They probably can’t handle this. Just tell them I went abroad. And send some money to them for me, not all at once, they might overthink things. Ten thousand a month will do, just use my name to make the payments, use my pension.
Also, I’ll be taking care of things myself soon, so it shouldn’t cause you any trouble.
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: I’m sorry.
Duan Zui: No need to apologize, Leader. Everyone has to die someday, if it wasn’t me, it would have been someone else. Besides, didn’t the guild leader once promise that one day we will all be resurrected? If that plan really succeeds, don’t forget to resurrect me.
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: I will never forget. As long as I’m alive—even if I die, the guild leader won’t forget. Eventually, we will all be resurrected.
Duan Zui: Haha, then I’ll be waiting below for your call—I have some things to take care of, so I won’t chat more. Goodbye, Leader. You are a good leader. I’m glad to have fought alongside you. Say goodbye to the guild leader for me, bye.
After saying the last sentence, that avatar instantly went dark.
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s heart suddenly relaxed, as if a huge stone had been moved from his chest, yet the regret and remorse in his heart made him feel even more heartaches.
As if to suffocate him.
(No, everything’s fine, as long as that plan succeeds, everyone will live on, everyone will be resurrected!) Hidden Dragon Do Not Use loudly said to himself in his heart.
His eyes then became resolute, and he picked up the phone.
