1036 Blackthorn

However, all of these were useless against Fang Heng!

The immunity to physical damage and the regeneration of severed limbs made the Lickers a nightmare for the barbarians.

In just five to six minutes, this barbarian team was already on the verge of collapsing.

Eh?!

Just as he was thinking, Fang Heng’s passive skill, the beast’s instinct, came into effect. He suddenly sensed a threat coming from his right and immediately turned his head to look in that direction.

Birkin’s eyes burst out with scarlet light.

That’s…

The Tier 2 form of the barbarian race?

Fang Heng raised his vigilance and carefully sized up Birkin.

After entering Tier 2, the barbarian’s body didn’t change much. However, a layer of dark black substance seeped out of his skin.

He couldn’t see what it was clearly from far away, but it gave Fang Heng the feeling that it was something similar to armor.

Then, black spikes that were visible to the naked eye extended from the barbarian’s black-covered body.

Were they sharp spikes?!

Fang Heng frowned.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two Lickers, one on the left and one on the right, flew towards Birkin, who had entered Tier 2.

Birkin raised his hand.

“Chi Chi Chi!!”

The dense black rhombus-shaped spikes that seeped out of his body shot out at an extremely fast speed, instantly piercing into the body of the Licker. The Licker was immediately sent flying by the massive impact of the spikes.

“Thump! Thump!”

The two Lickers were sent flying and hit the rock wall behind them, making a heavy impact sound. After landing, they rolled and were about to attack again.

“Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!!”

The dense black spikes exploded within the Licker’s body!

The Licker’s body was blasted into a bloody mess by the spikes!

“Boom! Boom Boom Boom!”

The Licker’s body was constantly being hit by the explosions, and its recovery speed was not even able to keep up with the speed of the explosions within its body.

Continuous explosions?

Fang Heng was surprised when he saw this.

It could be played like this?

Birkin saw these strange ghouls and was a hundred times more shocked than Fang Heng.

Even the blackthorn couldn’t do anything to them!

What kind of monsters were these?

“Whoosh!!!”

After entering Tier 2, Birkin’s speed increased greatly once again. He rushed forward and arrived at the center of the group of Lickers.

“Give them all to me! Get lost!”

Birkin suddenly opened his hands.

“Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi!!”

Countless fine black rhombus-shaped spikes burst out from the surface of Birkin’s body!

A large number of Lickers that could not dodge in time were sent flying by the spikes, falling into a cycle of explosion and self-recovery.

Although they were not dead, they had temporarily lost their ability to attack.

“Retreat!” Birkin said in a deep voice.

“Yes!!”

Under Birkin’s lead, the savage beasts quickly retreated like a tide.

Fang Heng didn’t continue to pursue this. He looked in Birkin’s direction and frowned. The high-level creatures in intermediate games were indeed difficult to deal with!

Birken had been suppressed by the Lickers and still managed to escape.

This time, Fang Heng came with the intention of finding out the enemy’s situation. He felt that there was no need to waste time chasing after them. He immediately opened the game log to check the details of the battle just now.

The black rhombus-shaped spike that extended out from Birkin’s body was a combination of piercing, poison, and explosion damage. The first step was piercing damage, and the second step was to continuously explode within the Licker’s body, causing a huge combination of explosion and poison damage.

Fortunately, no matter if it was piercing, poison, or explosion damage, they could be restrained by Fang Heng’s passive skill, undying body.

It couldn’t kill off the Licker.

However, due to the explosion of the rhombus-shaped spike, the Licker would lose its ability to fight for a period of time.

Thinking about it carefully, the spikes that extended from the surface of the barbarians’ bodies could be launched from any part of their bodies after they entered Tier 2 form. It was as difficult as attacking a hedgehog.

This was extremely difficult to deal with.

Fang Heng touched his chin.

The barbarian race was very strange. He had to bring their corpses back and let Qiu Yaokang examine them.

It would be best if he could find a way to restrain the black rhombus-shaped spikes of the barbarians.

Fang Heng shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He waved his hand at the battlefield in front of him, and the mutation crystals on the ground were absorbed into his palm.

[Hint: You have obtained Tier 1 mutation crystal*29 and Tier 2 mutation crystal*1.]

Eh! He had a Tier 2 crystal in his hands!

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.

Although there was only one, it meant great hope.

The barbarian race could drop Tier 2 crystals!

On the side, seeing that the barbarians were defeated and retreated, Shrek, who had followed Fang Heng to come to the rescue, was so shocked that his mouth was wide open.

They really won!

The terrifying barbarians had actually fled from these undead creatures!

This was something he had never dreamed of!

Shrek, who had witnessed the entire battle, opened his mouth, but he could not say anything for a long time.

“What are you thinking about?”

Fang Heng patted Shrek’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go. We’ll have a good chat with your captain.”

Only then did Shrek come back to his senses. He nodded and said, “Ah, yes…Captain…”

In the cave not far away, Ding Wu’s team also saw the barbarian’s retreat.

Everyone on the team was shocked by the zombies.

It felt like a dream.

The barbarians were already scary enough, but this group of zombies was even more terrifying!

Their bodies had already been blown to pieces but they could still fight again?

The most terrifying thing was that after the battle, only the corpses of the savage beasts and barbarians were left on the battlefield. The undead creatures did not lose any members! They were still at their peak condition!

Where the hell did they come from?!

While Ding Wu and the others were still in shock, the group of Lickers in the forest opened up a path.

“Captain! Is everyone alright?”

Shrek led Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei into the cave through the group of Lickers. Seeing that the captain was still alive, he was overjoyed.

“Shrek!”

The Empire’s guardian team was similarly excited.

Shrek had really found reinforcements to save them!

Ding Wu put his hand on the wall. He smiled when he saw Shrek and gave him a thumbs up.

“You rascal, well done!”

This action pulled on his wound and Ding Wu’s face turned even paler in pain. He frowned.

“Captain?”

Shrek quickly came up to support Ding Wu. He anxiously turned around and said to Fang Heng, “Boss Fang, the captain is severely injured and needs to go back to the village for treatment. Please help us.”

“I don’t need it. You can take the other injured people back to the village first. Don’t worry about me.”

“Captain, what are you talking about?”

“It’s already too late.”

Ding Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He took off his heavy armor and pointed at the wound on his armpit.

The wound torn open by the beast’s claw had completely turned black, and black water mixed with blood kept oozing out of the wound, emitting a foul smell.

“It’s the mixed poison of savage beasts. I’ve seen this kind of poison many times. It’s too deep. It’s too late to go back now.”
