Chapter 42 Desperate Situation

The black cloud, represented by the Wuyu tribe, had closed in, forming a large enclosing circle.

Lin Ling shouted loudly again, requesting Lord Han to come out, and even began attacking the bone sphere.

Unfortunately, his attacks couldn't even leave a mark on the surface of the bone sphere.

However, if one listened carefully, they could hear a sudden surge of movement inside the bone sphere, as if a fierce battle was taking place.

The others from Guyue Village also started shouting.

"Please, Lord Han, save us!"

"Lord Han, please save us!"

"Lord Han! Lord Han!"

Cries of pain, wails, pleas... The people of Guyue Village knelt before the bone sphere, begging their last guardian to come out and save them.

At this moment, the circle of black cloud began to gradually tighten.

Everyone was trapped, with nowhere to retreat, nowhere to escape!

With pale faces, the crowd stood back-to-back against the bone sphere, facing the approaching human-bone kites.

"Lord Han! Please! Come out and save us!"

"Lord Han!!!"

"Save us, save us!!"

A cacophony of chaotic voices rang out.

But whether it was because the bone sphere had excellent soundproofing, or the battle inside was too intense, leaving Lord Han unable to spare any attention, the bone sphere remained silent despite the loud cries outside, and there was no sign of Lord Han emerging.

Seeing this situation, everyone's heart sank.

Lin Ling's face was even paler.

He had led the team to this place, making a desperate gamble.

But now... it seemed he had lost the bet.

He had made an absolutely wrong choice, leading the last survivors of Guyue Village to a place of death.

They were trapped here, waiting to die!

Looking at the human-bone kites dancing and howling ahead, at the gradually shrinking circle, Lin Ling felt extreme pain in his heart.

He had become the sinner of Guyue Village; everyone would die because of him!

Just then, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Lin Ling turned his head to look; it was Fang Yue.

Fang Yue shook his head slightly and said, "It's not your fault; there's no time to blame yourself. Let's prepare to carve out a bloody path as the vanguard, so that the others can escape!"

"...Okay!"

Fang Yue's words barely managed to lift Lin Ling's spirits from his extreme self-blame.

Seeing this, Fang Yue didn't say anything more.

He felt his physical condition; he had barely enough strength to fight.

He opened his attribute list and glanced at it.

"Name: Ye Se Liming."

"Realm: Acquired Second-Rate."

"State: Weird Curse [Wuyu]."

"Health Points: 400/400."

"Inner Force: 200/1400."

"Control: 440 [Base: 420] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Defense: 320 [Base: 300] [State/Bonus: +20]."

"Comprehension: 1. [Special Attribute]"

"Talent: Night Breathing [Human-Grade Top-Tier]."

"Skills: Analysis Pupil [Human-Grade Low-Tier], Starlight Saber Technique 1st Level [Acquired Third-Rate], Water Sky Saber Technique 1st Level [Crude Martial Art], Blazing Flame Heart Sutra [Acquired First-Rate/Sixth Level], Starlight Heart Sutra 3rd Level [Acquired Third-Rate/Max Level]."

"Lifespan: 1 year, 1 month, 1 day."

After killing Ma Ling'er, his attributes had skyrocketed to a new level.

In comparison, the 20 points of attributes added by Night Breathing seemed insignificant.

However, Fang Yue had long passed the stage of caring about the small attributes of Night Breathing. The real benefit of [Night Breathing] lay in its ability to recover health and heal injuries.

It just didn't seem as effective when it came to recovering from overexertion.

The only thing that made him sweat was that when he had frantically used [Temporal Regression] and fought, he had almost burned away his lifespan.

"The current me is capable of fighting!"

Feeling his body's condition, Fang Yue assessed his current strength.

Ahead, the black cloud was pressing in.

Behind, the bone sphere was still in violent motion.

Most of the survivors of Guyue Village began to recognize reality and faced the approaching Wuyu tribe, ready to fight at any moment.

It was at this moment.

Fang Yue suddenly felt an itch on the back of his hand.

Startled, Fang Yue looked down.

The back of his hand, marked with the scarlet crescent mark left by the Wuyu tribe, suddenly began to burn.

At first, it was just a slight burning sensation, but soon the temperature began to rise sharply, burning Fang Yue's hand and emitting black smoke and the smell of scorched flesh.

This wasn't Fang Yue's own flame, nor was it a temperature he controlled.

The pain of the scorching even made cold sweat break out on his forehead.

Just as Fang Yue was wondering what this [Weird Curse: Wuyu] was going to do.

Drip.

A raindrop fell on the back of his hand.

-1!

A damage notification appeared.

Rain… drop?

Fang Yue was stunned on the spot, his mind went blank, and he looked up at the night sky in a daze.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip drip drip drip drip!

Rainwater beat against his cheeks.

Night rain was falling!

……

"It's, it's raining?!"

"Night rain, it's night rain!!"

"It's night rain! It's night rain!"

"Danger! Danger! Danger! Great danger! Quickly find shelter from the rain!!"

The night rain came suddenly, strangely, and without warning.

But night rain was originally such a mysterious and unpredictable existence; no one could predict its arrival.

When the rain fell, when the raindrops beat against their cheeks and soaked their clothes.

Everyone panicked.

Above everyone present, dense -1 -1 -1 damage notifications popped up.

Each raindrop represented the loss of one health point.

The dense rain, falling down, could directly take everyone's life!

Just like rain in reality.

The current night rain was still in its initial, slowest, drizzling stage.

The rain wasn't falling quickly, but it was already starting to hurt people!

Lin Ling and Fang Yue were trying their best to maintain order, but some people still ran out in a panic, only to be torn to pieces by the Wuyu tribe's human-bone kites, their flesh and blood scattering down, even mixing with the rain.

This deterrent directly calmed down the other survivors of Guyue Village.

"Ye-ge, Ye-ge, what do we do?!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu cried out, although she usually acted like a fool, only knowing how to eat and be useless.

But her attributes were real, and wouldn't decrease by half just because she couldn't fight, so when it came to running away and avoiding the strange, it was surprisingly effective.

She had reunited with the main group during the final large gathering, after running around randomly. Even when Fang Yue's body couldn't move, in the most critical moment, she wasn't even in the team, and no one knew where she had hidden.

"Calm down!"

Fang Yue told her to be quiet, but his face was indeed extremely pale.

In the night rain, he had [Night Breathing], which could resist the erosion of the night rain.

But others didn't have that ability; when the night rain fell, everyone lost health for real, and couldn't recover at all. In the end, they would be dripped to death by the night rain.
