Zhan Long Chapter 1199: Death like a shadow

Chapter 1199: Death like a shadow

"Damn, this is a problem!"
Old K held his axe and looked at Qin Ge. That girl that was in a skirt and flying about couldn't even get hit.
Yan Zhao Warrior led Prague's thousands of members over, "Those that can fly do so and prepare to face Qin Ge. We can't kill Yin Huo but we can't kill her?"
"Don't..."
I shouted but I couldn't stop them.
Not far away, a familiar person appeared. It was Tyrant of Western Chu. He led the thousands of Wrath of the Heroes members and guarded below. Now that so many of us came, he ordered his men to attack. Many Archers aimed at Qin Ge. Apart from that, Rising Sun like Blood and House of Prestige also attacked the players.
...
"Boss, what should we do?" Xue Rou rode her horse and looked at me who was in the sky.
I lowered my head and looked at her. A bunch of Shura Cavalries were blocking our way out such that we had no way to go. I pointed at these Shura cavalries and said, "Zhan Long charged forwards and try to get out. We can't kill the boss. The Lord Tier Bosses are strengthened and won't be so easy to kill!"
"Yes!"
I dove down and Mei'er spat out her flames. My Wind Carrying Slash also turned into sword energy that smashed into the crowd. Lin Wan Er, Li Mu and Wang Jian attacked together. Along with the 1000+ Furnace God Cavalries using Blade Spin, we cleared out an empty region.

Behind the Shura Cavalries were many Lamp Zombie, this was more problematic. The Spirit Flower Bugs flew out and exploded among the Furnace God Cavalry. In a blink of an eye, over a hundred died.
I used Icy Wings and waved my swords to open a path. I killed many Lamp Zombies. Xue Rou, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Old K etc went all out and all Zhan Long players were in a frenzied state. We only had one goal which was to get out and try to keep more people alive.
Behind us, House of Prestige's Quick Thunder Swift Wind mocked, "Zhan Long... Scoff, this is China's second guild. They aren't fighting the boss and rather killing the monsters. Is such a guild worthy of entering the leaderboards?"
"Damn..." Li Mu stared at Quick Thunder Swift Wind coldly and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
I slashed aside a Lamp Zombie and said, "No need to bother, charge full speed ahead. A portion of us protect the ranged players, be quick!"
I looked down from above and saw that there was an ocean of Lamp Zombies, Shura Cavalries and Demon Hall Cavalry. Zhan Long was like a leaf in the ocean, rising up and down but it was forcing its way forwards.
...
"Keng..."
A zither tune descended from above and sliced the ground on the left. Zhan Long players including Yue Qing Qian were wiped out. They had less than 50% health initially so they obviously couldn't handle its hit. At the same time, the corpses of the players fell down, who knew where they would end up at? We couldn't pick up the dropped equipment and could only proceed forwards. This was a failed mission so all we could do now was to reduce our losses.
The 3000+ Zhan Long players still following behind me were our absolute elites. For them to die and drop equipment was a loss that we couldn't accept.
"Continue forwards, don't look!"
My eyes were red as I waved my blades to open a path for everyone.
At the same time, the players of the other guilds had clashed with Qin Ge. Yan Zhao Warrior, Q-Sword etc chose to challenge this boss but unfortunately, her tunes helped to provide her with a shield. Each time she played, the shield would refresh so the players dealt little to no damage on her.
What I was worried about wasn't this but that her attacks were really strong. She didn't choose to attack our densest crowd, she just sent tunes to smash the ground. She wrapped around the foot of the mountain and connected the holes together. She was surrounding the mountain.
Instantly, I understood something. I spent 5000 RMB to shout in the map--
"Ding!"
System Notification (Player Xiao Yao Zi Zai shout): Retreat, don't attack Qin Ge. She is slicing our retreat path, if we don't go now there would be no more chance!
...
But Hero Mound, Legend and Prague were fighting with Qin Ge so none of them listened. Only Ye Lai's Judgement followed us to retreat. Even Mu Xuan led her own people to attack Qin Ge. The Guild Leaders had their own judgement so I couldn't blame them.
At that moment, there was a high pitched screech. Qin Ge gave off golden light and her body became larger. She was really like a fairy this time. Her zither gave off a gentle sound and turned into blades that descended onto the ground. She sliced the foot of the mountain and flames spurted out. Many players were swept in, there were even a few Zhan Long players that weren't able to escape.
"It is over..."
Lin Wan Er sat on the silver dragon's back and said, "We are finished..."
In the next moment, there was a giant explosion and the Shura Mountain shook. Li Mu rubbed her eyes and said, "Did I see correctly? Shura Mountain, moved..."
I nodded, "Yes you did, it did move. The entire Shura Mountain is sinking!"
Xue Rou sucked in a cold breath, "Such a terrifying strategy. Is Hybrid Demon planning on sacrificing the mountain to wipe us out?"
Dancing Forest held Sun Shooting Bow and her eyes were filled with shock, "We were right, we fell into a trap. Luckily boss told us to retreat if not we would have all died here!"
There was another series of rumblings and the Shura Mountain was sinking. Around the mountain, flames surged into the sky and formed a flame veil. Finished, maybe even flying players couldn't fly out. Drunken Spear, Q-Sword and Fang Ge Que were still inside!
...
"Let's go!"
I looked around and frowned, "There are more and more Lamp Zombies. If we don't try to charge out, we will end up being buried here too!"
Lin Wan Er looked at the sleeping Shura Mountain in sadness. Right, who would be willing to see their allies die just like that? On Shura Mountain, there were at least 100 thousand elites there, they were the cornerstone of Tian Ling City. They would lose a level after death and might even drop equipment. This was a huge blow!
"Crack..."
Butterfly sliced open the chest of a Lamp Zombie and didn't give him the chance to summon zombies. I used Icy Wings to lead everyone forwards. Xue Rou followed behind me and said, "Boss, 1500+ people charged out with us, not bad..."
"Really not bad?" My heart felt pain, "30 thousand came..."
Xue Rou smiled and pushed her chest forwards, "My condolences, it is not bad to have 1500 elites. We picked up what they dropped so bringing them back is an answer to them."
"En!"
I nodded. Mocha was right, we had 2-3 pieces of equipment each. Mine had 7 and they all marked the ones that dropped the item. We had 30 thousand deaths so 10000 pieces of equipment were picked up. Now that we brought them back, we could make up for most losses.
We continued to kill Lamp Zombies and maintain our formation. The remaining 500+ Furnace God Cavalry charged forwards. Li Mu, Wang Jian and Lin Wan Er were at the back to protect Dong Cheng Yue, Dancing Forest, Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands, Xing Lie, Lian PO etc ranged players.
...
Behind us, Shura Mountain continued to sink. Half of the mountain was down to the ground. Qin Ge played while attacking while shouting with her high pitched voice, "Come, let hell swallow your soul. Come my cute adventurers, your deaths will help Azure create a new batch of war souls. All of you will have eternal life and your souls can provide us with a strong army. Come, join hell!"
My hair stood on its ends, "They want to use player souls to create new war souls?"
Lin Wan Er nodded, "Sounds like it. "
Xue Rou spat out her tongue, "That is disgusting. let's go, don't let them chase us. I don't want my soul to become a war soul."
"En."
I turned around and noticed that the white souls of numerous players tried to fly back to Tian Ling City but were caught by a net.
A few minutes later, Li Mu looked at me solemnly, "Some brothers called me and said that they were trapped. They can't revive and need to wait for 24 hours before they can come online."
I nodded, "Seems like Qin Ge's words isn't a hoax. Let's go and speed up."
"Okay!"
...
The four dragon riders circled the sky and protected the 1500+ Zhan Long members to leave the forest. Along the way, we killed the Demon Hall Cavalry, Barbarian Wolf Cavalryman and Lamp Zombies. We lost 100+ people and now we had around 1400 people. We had to bring them all back to Tian Ling City!
Most players here had been online for over 10 hours but the failure made us all awake. Under the moonlight, everyone left Shura Forest and passed the canyon outside. We finally reached a safe region and the monsters around were just level 1-6 Hybrid Demons.

"Ang ang..."
Sword Spirit Cavalries screamed in the sky. The undead followed us like spectres and we were still not safe.
