Chapter 657
by fanqienovelChapter 657: Second Attempt
In the familiar space, the familiar graveyard.
Standing in the center of the cemetery, Wang Chen looked around, taking in the scenes etched in his memory.
However, compared to the previous wormhole space, the area he now observed had expanded significantly, with rolling hills stretching out in every direction.
Yet, it remained as desolate and eerie as ever.
Last time, he had faced a sea of skeletons; what would emerge today?
Wang Chen stamped his foot.
His power surged through his feet into the ground, creating a slight tremor.
“Bro’s here!”
This was Wang Chen’s way of announcing his presence to any potential opponent.
What is remembered will surely resonate!
Just as Wang Chen was making his presence known, a loud "boom" echoed out as a grave mound thirty steps away suddenly exploded.
The broken tombstone hurtled toward Wang Chen, slicing through the air with a terrifying whoosh!
“Here it comes?”
Wang Chen’s gaze sharpened, and without flinching, he threw a punch.
Boom!
His fist collided with the stone, his flesh and blood unharmed, while the hard stone shattered into pieces.
In the next moment, a dark gray figure shot up from the grave and then dove down toward Wang Chen.
Before Wang Chen could get a clear look at his opponent, the figure suddenly shook in mid-air and split into two identical forms.
Seeing this, Wang Chen performed Shortening the Earth, swiftly darting backward.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Just as he retreated, deep holes appeared in the exact spot where he had been standing.
At the same time, Wang Chen finally got a good look at his enemy.
There was one, or rather three identical zombies.
Their black-gray skin looked like tough cowhide, wrapping around their sturdy skeletons, and their bald heads were devoid of hair, their eyes filled with dark, lifeless energy.
Their limbs were long, with clawed fingers that curved menacingly, gleaming with a sheen reminiscent of black iron.
Most importantly, the zombies had a pair of wings on their backs.
This must be why they could soar through the air!
Wang Chen realized that the opponents he encountered in his second attempt at the wormhole space were far stronger than the skeletons from the first attempt.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he formed a spell and activated Sky Thunder.
Before the flying zombies could launch their next attack, the lightning he summoned had already descended from the sky, striking them.
Two of the flying zombies were obliterated in one hit, bursting like bubbles pricked by a needle, leaving no trace behind.
Only the flying zombie on the right withstood two bolts of divine thunder before losing its balance and plummeting from the sky.
In the next moment, a streak of light flashed by, and before the flying zombie could hit the ground, it was sliced into several pieces!
Longyuan Sword!
The outer skin of the flying zombie was incredibly tough, and its internal bones were even more resilient.
However, under the slash of the Longyuan flying sword, it was no different from a paper mache figure, swiftly turning into zombie fragments that clattered noisily onto the ground.
【Virtue +1658】
The wormhole space returned to a state of eerie silence.
Is it over?
Wang Chen felt a tinge of disappointment as he recalled his flying sword.
He hadn’t even started to warm up yet!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wang Chen’s inner thoughts seemed to have been heard by the monsters lurking beneath the graveyard; unable to contain their rage, they burst through the seals of their graves, soaring straight into the sky.
One, two, three…
In an instant, dozens of flying zombies appeared above Wang Chen.
They hovered menacingly, staring down at Wang Chen with their hands outstretched and fingers curled, each sharp claw gleaming with a cold light.
Swish, swish, swish!
In the next moment, hundreds of zombie claws rained down like a storm.
They completely enveloped Wang Chen!
“Shield!”
Wang Chen had no time to evade and immediately raised his arm to activate the Spirit Light Shield!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The claws from the flying zombies were incredibly swift, striking Wang Chen just as he raised his shield.
The first layer and second layer of the Spirit Light Shield were simultaneously pierced!
It was known that Wang Chen’s Spirit Light Shield had reached the level of perfect mastery, with formidable Defense.
But these flying zombies were no ordinary foes; after launching their first wave of claws, they lunged at Wang Chen from all directions.
His vision was completely obscured by a swarm of dark “giant bats”!
“Fire!”
Unfazed, Wang Chen suddenly raised both arms and exhaled sharply.
Blazing flames erupted from beneath him, quickly engulfing his entire body, and the intense flames surged skyward, spreading in all directions.
At that moment, Wang Chen resembled a massive torch, and as he spread his arms, he looked like a fiery bird spreading its wings.
With the most “fervent” embrace, he welcomed the diving flying zombies.
“Screech!”
A piercing scream suddenly echoed.
Several of the fastest-flying zombies were the first to be engulfed, instantly consumed by flames, crashing heavily to the ground.
They smashed into the earth, creating large craters.
For these monstrous magical spirits, the flames imbued with pure Yang energy were undoubtedly one of the most terrifying things; even though they lacked the ability to feel pain, they still experienced overwhelming fear and agony!
Many of the flying zombies following closely behind were forced to change direction by the towering flames, clumsily veering through the air to evade Wang Chen’s powerful counterattack.
But if they thought they were safe, they were sorely mistaken.
The flames burned fiercely, and in an instant, a brilliant sword light emerged from the fire, splitting into dozens of sword energies that crisscrossed in the air, shredding the zombies caught in the sword web into countless pieces.
Limbs and bones rained down!
【Virtue +1520】【Virtue +1786】【Virtue +1707】…
The notifications flashing before his eyes did not affect Wang Chen in the slightest; his heart remained calm, fully focused on controlling the Longyuan flying sword to eliminate the scattered flying zombies.
Not a single zombie could withstand the brilliance of this Treasure Flying Sword; even the split sword lights sliced through these monstrous spirits like cutting through vegetables, leaving them in disarray.
The flying zombies in the air rapidly dwindled, unable to mount a proper counterattack.
A few fearless flying zombies landed and charged at him, but they were met with Wang Chen’s perfected Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One palm strike for each, crushing them effortlessly!
In just a short moment, dozens of flying zombies had been slain, leaving only a few stragglers.
They seemed to develop an instinctive fear, rushing back into their graves, retreating in terror.
As Wang Chen recalled the Longyuan flying sword and surveyed the area, no opponents remained!
Wang Chen pondered whether he should “dig” the remaining zombies out from underground when a familiar repelling force enveloped him, forcibly pulling him away from this wormhole space.
Back in the passage, Wang Chen did not feel particularly satisfied.
This second attempt at the Wormhole dungeon felt somewhat anticlimactic; it hadn’t been as thrilling as the first time.
He hoped there would be a third and fourth attempt…
Opportunity!
