Chapter 1729: Rising to Fame (3)

Fireballs rained down like a storm.

The frenzied ghouls screeched in chaos as they were struck.

Ye Xuan looked at Meng Meng in confusion.

He said, puzzled: "That doesn't add up, Brother Meng. Even if the fireballs were enhanced, they shouldn't be this powerful. Something's off."

Xu Jun said: "Damn it, so what if something's off? When the time comes we'll strip them naked and they'll scream anyway. Right now they're burning me — let's see how we deal with them later!"

Zhang Jiu sneered: "Exactly. We'll just have our way with them later."

Meng Meng said: "Enough talking. Stay sharp — more fireballs are coming!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The frenzied ghouls were battered into a daze.

But at the same time, they too had the spiritual pressure boost from Meng Meng's subordinate heroes, which increased their spiritual technique defense.

Though the fireballs were considerably stronger, they still weren't enough to deal fatal wounds to these frenzied ghouls — only leaving scorched marks on their bodies, or smashing off an arm, or gouging out an eye.

Even so... it still hurt.

But for the frenzied ghouls, this pain was a signal to fight.

"Roar— wooo—"

"Woo-roar—"

Their mouths gaped wide, filthy breath spewing from their foul, sticky maws.

Their eyes had turned completely red, violent emotions overtook their minds, and they charged even faster.

Some charged so recklessly they tumbled straight down the slope.

Slime coated their bodies along with mud, filthy beyond description.

The fireballs kept raining down, but could only serve to slow them.

Basic fireballs truly struggled to deal fatal damage to frenzied ghouls — unless the density was high enough to bombard a portion of them in concentrated fury.

Still, breaking up their formation wasn't bad either.

This also effectively curbed their orderly charging momentum.

The entire group of 3,000 frenzied ghouls was smashed into several sections, each charging down in disarray.

Both sides continued to charge furiously at each other.

The distance grew shorter and shorter.

Battle was imminent.

Ye Xuan raised his spear and cast another spiritual technique on the frenzied ghouls at the very front, but he felt something strange.

"Huh? Look at that — why are those women still charging? Are they really not afraid of the frenzied ghouls?"

He was genuinely baffled.

Even battle-loving beastfolk would feel three parts dread at the sight of these raging frenzied ghouls.

Let alone facing them head-on.

But why was there not a trace of fear on these delicate women's faces? Not even a hint of dread — instead, they were brimming with confidence.

Brimming with confidence?

Confidence in the face of frenzied ghouls?

How the hell is that possible?

What on earth is going on with them?

When human women see frenzied ghouls, shouldn't they crouch down covering their heads and start screaming?

They'd even be scared into wetting themselves.

But why aren't these women afraid? Are they not afraid of death?

Or are they all lunatics?

Zhang Jiu said: "It is indeed strange. From a distance it wasn't clear, but look at their speed now — that's an uphill slope, yet they're still moving this fast? Even half again as fast as the frenzied ghouls charging downhill. Something really does seem off about them."

Xu Jun said dismissively: "So what? They're not wearing armor, of course they're fast. If I fully enhanced my movement speed, I could run that fast too. As for that morale... they probably just have some spiritual technique on them that removes fear. Nothing strange about it!"

Meng Meng said: "Stop talking. Whatever it is, let's kill 200 of them first. The remaining women, even if they have some fear-removal spiritual technique, should come to their senses by then. Go, Xu Jun!"

"Understood!"

Xu Jun let out a cold laugh, pressed his hand against the massive frenzied ghoul beneath him, and man and ghoul shot forward together.

In just a moment they had surged to the front of the formation.

A pale red glow emanated from Xu Jun's body: "All units charge — pounce!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

A deafening howl.

The ghouls all leaped up, their two-meter-long bodies stretching out, sharp claws extended, lunging down carrying a stench of blood.

The two sides were still dozens of meters apart, but the leading 700 frenzied ghouls, led by Xu Jun, had already leapt violently into the air.
