Chapter 395: The Wu Yu Clan's Uproar (6/10, Autumn Subscription)

What should he do? What should he do?

Fang Yue searched his heart for an answer, but found none.

The only thing he could do was contribute the healing medicine on his person, letting more people pop pills and keep their health up.

But this wasn't a real solution—it treated the symptom, not the cause.

Pills could restore health, but that was all they did; to survive the Night Rain, what was needed was sustained healing—faster than the speed at which the raindrops fell!

And that was almost impossible to achieve.

Not to mention that the continuous pill-popping would cause pill toxins to accumulate, bringing all sorts of problems to those taking them, even draining their lifespans until they died.

"Ye Ge, look ahead!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu suddenly spoke up again, pointing at the Black Cloud ahead.

Fang Yue was briefly stunned, then noticed…the Wu Yu Clan was in an uproar!

These Bone Kites, too, seemed to have been shaken by the sudden Advent of the Night Rain.

Of course!

The eerie creatures feared the Night Rain as well!

Fang Yue had been so focused on his own people's safety that he'd forgotten…eerie creatures could also be harmed by the Night Rain, could also lose health, could also fear the rain!

Fang Yue observed the Black Cloud ahead; the contracting encirclement had clearly stalled after the Night Rain appeared.

There seemed to be a split within them—some Bone Kites began to flee in panic, breaking away from the Black Cloud and ducking under the nearest collapsed ruins.

The once-tight encirclement thus developed a few small gaps.

An opportunity!

Fang Yue's eyes lit up, and he was about to lead Lin Ling and the others charging toward that direction.

But the gap that had just opened was quickly plugged again.

The Bone Kites filling the gap seemed to fear no death; even at the cost of their lives, they would complete their mission and kill Fang Yue and the others here.

"They're waiting for the Night Rain to kill us!"

The flame of the Human Soul Torch in Lin Ling's hand flickered in the darkness; raindrops were falling more and more densely, leaving them little time to think of a plan.

"Charge!" Fang Yue's face darkened. "Our only way to survive is to break out and find shelter from the rain. Otherwise, everyone is doomed!"

In the group, people had already begun popping pills en masse, because the speed at which the Night Rain's drops fell was gradually accelerating.

This was…the rain was about to get heavy!

Fang Yue looked back at the group, and sure enough, above everyone's heads, -1-1-1-1 health-loss prompts were popping up in unison; the health regeneration couldn't keep up, scaring them all deathly pale.

Unlike players like Fang Yue, ordinary villagers held the Night Rain in deep taboo; subconsciously they were extremely afraid of the thing, and some, even as raindrops struck them, would scream while popping pills.

The scene descended into utter chaos.

So something had to be done to get them moving, to find a chance to live!

"Alright, I'll have them all follow, get ready, then I'll count to three, and we'll all charge out together!"

"Mm."

An ordinary person only had 100 HP.

Without entering the Martial Dao, without breaking through realms, they would forever have only 100 HP.

If they suffered illness or disabilities like Can Yu and other negative debuffs, their HP would be even lower than 100.

And how fast the rain fell.

Raindrops came pattering down, soaking most of the body in a single second, draining a huge amount of HP.

So the current situation could be said to be extremely dire.

It took Lin Ling a great deal of effort to barely calm everyone down, get them to follow orders, and make a desperate break for it.

And the Wu Yu Clan ahead wasn't faring much better either; many Bone Kites had fled, and the remaining ones were also showing -1-1-1-1 health-loss prompts en masse under the Night Rain.

"Everyone, stay close behind me!"

Fang Yue had already locked onto a direction—the widest breakthrough point available right now!

"Three…"

Boom!!!

Fang Yue had barely begun his countdown when a massive force of impact suddenly came from behind.

An invisible shockwave sent all of them flying, scattering in every direction—some crashing to the ground, others tumbling uncontrollably.

Screams and cries for help rose one after another; under the Night Rain, some were killed on the spot by the rain, their hands frozen mid-motion as they tried to pop pills, never getting another chance.

The dense health loss, combined with the sudden explosive shockwave, left them all stunned.

The first to react was Fang Yue.

After a few rolls to dissipate the force upon landing, Fang Yue immediately looked back.

The next moment, his pupils couldn't help but contract; he sucked in a cold breath, his mind going blank with a buzz.

He saw that the bone sphere behind them had been blown apart in the explosion; large chunks of eggshell-like bone fragments flew everywhere.

Some flew out and smashed a few Bone Kites to death.

Some flew out, hit the ground, and crushed survivors of Gu Yue Cun to death.

And where the bone sphere had been, atop the remaining lotus-shaped broken bone sphere, a man whose body was a blur of flesh and blood with exposed white bone, holding a human head in his hand, slowly rose into the air, looking down upon all living beings!

This floating man was Chen Lao of the Wu Yu Clan!

And the human head in his hand…was unmistakably—Lord Han!!

No, impossible?!

The moment he saw Lord Han's head being held up like that, Fang Yue instantly felt as if the whole sky had collapsed!

His last hope, the person he had the most confidence in, the strongest person he had ever seen—was dead! Killed by Chen Lao!

How strong is this old thing really! Could he be at the Immortal level?

No, no, no! Judging from their earlier exchange, both of them should be around Rain level.

Lord Han's age backup is even higher than Chen Lao's.

But the result was... Lord Han lost!

Lost so thoroughly, lost so completely, lost in a way that makes one despair!

The hope of the entire village... has fallen!

That monster of the Wu Rain clan has won!

Coming back to his senses, Fang Yue, like a drowning man who has been rescued, frantically gulped in huge breaths, his entire body trembling from head to toe.

A Zhenjiu capable of killing Lord Han!

A Zhenjiu powerful enough to wipe out everyone... has achieved final victory.

It's over, everything is over.

Fang Yue's face was ashen; even the raindrops falling faster and faster, more and more violent on his cheeks, were completely ignored.

And just then, a line of text suddenly surfaced in his mind!

【Silver Stone absorption... 100%! The great Lord Sheepskin can unleash a Rain-level strike at any time!!】

Rain level... a strike?

Fang Yue looked at Chen Lao, whose white bones were exposed and whose whole body was covered in wounds, and a bold thought rose in his heart, growing stronger and stronger!

Ascending the heavens, treading in song, he would... destroy the Zhenjiu with a snap of his fingers!

A surge of boldness welled up in his heart.

Against the Night Rain, Fang Yue slowly rose to his feet, gazing ahead!

Lin Ling, who had been blown away by the shockwave, immediately started shoving medicine into his mouth in a sorry state the moment he hit the ground.

His pill poison had already accumulated to a very high level.

Unlike the other survivors, frontline combatants like him always needed to pop pills frequently just to stay alive in battle.

So when 【Night Rain】 fell, when he needed to pop pills to withstand the pounding of the rain, the pill poison had long since accumulated to an extremely troublesome level.
