Chapter 65

Sometimes they would be clearer, turning pale blue.

Sometimes they were very blurry, as if they had disappeared, with only some very faint human lines. If you didn't look carefully, you might not see them.

This couldn't help but make two words appear in everyone's mind: ghost.

"My lord, are those ghosts?"

Tang Ruan asked the doubt in her heart.

Gu Qing asked: "How do we fight them?"

Zhao Chi said quickly:

"These aren't ghosts, they are specters.

"Everyone look carefully, their bodies are constantly changing.

"When their body color turns transparent, any of our attacks won't hit them.

"Attacking at this time is like hitting the air. But they can attack us. Be sure to pay attention.

"When their bodies turn pale blue, that is the best time to attack.

"At this time, our attacks will feel like hitting the wind, with some resistance, but it's not obvious, yet it can hurt them."

Gu Qing nodded: "Understood, did you all hear that?"

"Understood!" the female soldiers answered in unison.

Zhao Chi quickly grabbed Gu Qing, afraid she would rush up directly.

"I haven't finished yet. These specters use their arms to attack; their attack power isn't very high, about the same as those Harpies.

"But the most troublesome part is that when you attack them, they will emit a very shrill scream, and this scream will cause feelings of fear.

"I'm not sure if your talent 'Fearless' can immunize against this kind of fear. If not, you still need to lead them away and kill them individually.

"Because their screams are area-of-effect skills, the surroundings will be affected, and the effects will stack."

Gu Qing nodded: "So we should test it first. If we can immunize, then it doesn't matter?"

"Exactly!" Zhao Chi nodded.

Gu Qing smiled: "That's easy, I'll go test it."

Tang Ruan said: "Sister Gu, let me go. I've strengthened my defense, this kind of thing should be done by me."

Gu Qing waved her hand: "It's not that time yet. My attributes are high, you all watch carefully. My lord, I'm going?"

"Be careful." Zhao Chi.

Gu Qing smiled and rushed out.

She rushed directly in front of the nearest specter and thrust her iron spear.

Whoosh!

Gu Qing only felt like she had thrust into water.

There was some resistance, but the force of the resistance wasn't great.

"Ah——!!"

Suddenly, the specter in front emitted a shrill scream.

A transparent ripple covered Gu Qing's whole body.

But Gu Qing felt nothing.

Is this what the lord said about falling into fear?

It really is ineffective against us.

Gu Qing took a step back and shouted loudly: "My lord, is this it? I feel absolutely nothing."

The sound was far away, and when it reached Zhao Chi, the power was much weaker.

But Zhao Chi still felt some palpitations.

However, he was still very happy.

I'm afraid, but these women feel nothing at all.

In that case... this is my home field!

"That's right, Gu Qing, it's that scream. It seems you can immunize against it. Everyone go up, scatter them!"

"Yes!"

The women all rushed out.

Gu Qing turned her head and focused on attacking.

Whoosh!

A transparent arm line swung, and Gu Qing immediately raised her shield.

Bang!

The force was not small, knocking Gu Qing back a step.

"Not bad, my turn!"

Another spear thrust out, but missed.

This attack didn't even have a hint of resistance.

Looking at the specter again, its figure was almost invisible, with only some pale white lines twisting.

But Gu Qing saw two lines approaching rapidly.

"I see it."

Her long legs kicked hard, and she retreated rapidly.

A wind pressure scraped past her cheek.

It was clearly the specter's attack.

Gu Qing continued to retreat and found that the specter's movement speed wasn't very fast.

Although they were floating, their movement speed was about at the level of 5 points of agility, and Gu Qing, with 7 points of agility, could easily pull away the distance.

In a few seconds, the specter's body turned into a semi-transparent pale blue again.

Gu Qing sneered: "Die!"

Swish!

"Ah————!!"

This time the specter's scream was extremely shrill, and Gu Qing felt that if she were any closer, she would have tinnitus.

The next moment, the specter evaporated and dissipated like burning thin paper.

Not long after, it completely disappeared.

"That's it?" Gu Qing smiled and rushed to the next one.

Soon, screams rang out everywhere.

"Ah—!"

"Ah————!!"

"Ah——————!"

"Ah——!!!"

The female soldiers' attacks had already begun.

Waves of transparent ripples spread out; the female soldiers felt nothing, only finding it noisy, and all calmly defended and thrust their spears.

The female artisans were the same, except it took 5-6 hits with wooden spears to kill these specters.

Zhao Chi didn't attack this time.

Instead, he watched from afar.

After all, he wasn't a Taoyuan human and didn't have the Fearless talent; he couldn't immunize against this specter scream.

What he needed to do now was just not cause trouble.

He opened the system and looked seriously at the women's morale.

The first few rounds were too simple, so there was no need to worry about morale.

But later, he would need to monitor it in real-time.

Taoyuan women are fearless, but their morale could still be low.

If anyone's morale dropped, Zhao Chi would immediately help her boost it.

After all, "Inspire" is the only spiritual art he knows, which can improve morale.

[Zhao Chi's army morale]

[Gu Qing] 91%

[Tang Ruan] 98%

[Female militia] 88%

[Female artisans] 83%

Morale is enthusiasm.

Tang Ruan, this little girl, actually has 98% enthusiasm, very active.

While Gu Qing only has 91%; although it's already very high, she hasn't been fully mobilized yet, perhaps she feels these opponents are still too weak.

The average morale of the female militia is 88%, quite good.

Female artisans are not a combat profession, so 83% is not low.

Morale is all very good.

Zhao Chi felt relieved.

Although he was standing far away, he could still hear those screams.

The stacking of tragic screams created a sense of fear from the heart.

It was like camping in the wild and having an enraged brown bear crawl into the tent.

Or a bright big spider falling into your collar and crawling into your body.

Or being alone in a leaking inflatable kayak, drifting in the vast ocean.

Zhao Chi resisted the fear in his heart and stood still.

He was very afraid.

But he knew that this fear was brought by the skill and had a time limit.

"My lord, don't be afraid, I'm here."

A moving female voice came.

But Zhao Chi trembled nervously and turned his head in a panic, seeing Tang Ruan running back.

Tang Ruan looked at Zhao Chi in surprise: "My lord, how are you? Why are you sweating so much?"

Tang Ruan reached out and helped Zhao Chi wipe his sweat.

Her palms were soft and warm.

Zhao Chi felt a little more settled in his heart.

These specter screams were indeed extraordinary.

Especially when multiple screams stacked, the power was even stronger.

I don't know how other players fought; I guess they also baited them away one by one like the lightning elementals and killed them individually.

The power of one specter's scream wasn't this strong, and Zhao Chi could withstand it, but multiple together wouldn't work.

Zhao Chi looked at Tang Ruan with palpitations: "I'm fine, why did you come back?"

Tang Ruan said: "Sister Gu was a bit worried that you couldn't hold on, so she asked me to come back to protect you."

After speaking, she switched to fashion mode and hugged him softly with her two big prides.
