Chapter 1203: Chapter 902_2 Chapter 1203: Chapter 902_2 The skeletons had high attributes, and they coordinated somewhat, causing the opponent to retreat with wounds appearing continuously on their skin.

“Charge, coordinate with the leader’s skeleton, and kill the enemy directly.”

Seeing the tide turning in their favor, the Hongwen Elder took over the battlefield command and ordered a continued attack.

Everyone switched to crossbows and also used some negative status items and scrolls, taking the opportunity to target the enemy.

At this moment, the three-eyed man let out a roar, and the bodies of two skeletons suddenly froze, their soul fires flickering.

With a light tap of his foot, he evaded the skeletons, appearing within the crowd behind.

“Retreat, fall back!” shouted the elder.

The next second, the man’s spear pointed, and seawater began to gather upward, forming ‘water prisons’ around the association members.

In just a few breaths, someone rolled their eyes, their body gradually weakening.

“He’s a mage from the curse magic system, save them, hurry!” someone shouted in panic.

The scholars remaining on the ship quickly searched their scrolls, hoping to find something to break the spell or to save lives.

“His level is still rising, almost at the critical point of Level 19,” Bella reminded beside him.

Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed.

The man’s moves were becoming more refined, and he had progressed from reckless charges to using spells.

He was regaining his memory, as well as his strength.

“Cooperate with me, let’s kill him first,” Wu Heng said just as an array appeared beneath him, his figure materializing on the battlefield.

Before the opponent could react, ‘Lightning Binding’ had already struck his chest.

His body was sent flying backward, the lightning effect spreading across the water beneath him.

Whoosh~!

The ‘water prisons’ imprisoning others shattered, and the man stood up again.

The seawater floated upward once more, attempting to form a water prison around Wu Heng.

An array lit up, and his body changed positions before the water prison formed.

“Don’t let him run wild,” Wu Heng said directly.

The ghosts approached, the man’s third eye instantly looking in the direction of the three attacking ghosts, evading quickly, trying to avoid possession.

Yet the next second, Glenda was the first to possess him, and he threw his spear forward.

Wu Heng caught it, storing it in the Space Ring while simultaneously casting [Summoning Thunder Skill].

Dense thunder descended like divine punishment.

When the thunder ceased, the man’s body was charred and smoking black from his mouth and nose, as he fell back.

“Is he dead?” Glenda asked.

“Isn’t he Uncle Chen Xiang? How come he couldn’t even defeat Uncle?”

“Whose side are you on?” Wu Heng shot her a glance.

Bella cooperatively said, “Wu Heng is getting more formidable.”

Just as joy was evident on the faces of the trio including the three ghosts, the next moment, their expressions changed.

“Wu Heng, look at him,” Glenda shouted.

Wu Heng looked over, seeing the charred body begin to shrivel, drying up as if moisture was being stripped away, increasingly resembling a corpse ghost.

“The level beam is starting to appear again,” Bella reminded.

Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed, meaning he was still alive, and possibly had a way to come back to life again through this method.

He couldn’t be left alive.

“Tiao Tiao, cut off his head.”

With a swing of his longsword, Tiao Tiao’s strike sounded like hitting tough leather, with sticky black blood oozing from the wound.

Bella continued, “The frequency of the level beam is increasing; he’s trying to emerge early.”

Tiao Tiao’s longsword hacked down repeatedly.

Gollum~!

On the fourth strike, the head was completely severed and fell.

Then, a ferocious, bewildered soul emerged from the body, attempting to flee to one side.

But before it got two meters away, it was surrounded and devoured by the Three Ghosts, disappearing.

“We devoured the soul; it’s over,” Glenda said as she flew back.

“We’re awesome; that dwarf elder couldn’t take a single hit before we killed him outright,” Xiao Xiao puffed her chest proudly.

Although they’d experienced many such events together, victory still brought joy.

Wu Heng took out a straw mat, “Wrap the body.”

Tiao Tiao picked up the head nearby, placing it beside the body, and wrapped it in the straw mat.

Wu Heng stored it in the Space Ring.

Sizzle~!

A voice came through the walkie-talkie from the Elf Elder, “Leader, is the battle over?”

Wu Heng pressed the walkie-talkie, “It’s over, come over!”

At this time, everyone returned to the escort ship, while the ship distanced itself to avoid being affected.

Upon hearing the response, cheers erupted from the other side, and the Dwarf Elder hurriedly said, “Then we’ll come over now.”

The escort ship approached again, the two elders quickly came up, and the Dwarf Elder was wrapped in bandages; for even the highest-level professionals, shattered bones couldn’t be healed by just drinking medicine.

“Leader, you’re not hurt, are you?” the Dwarf Leader stepped forward to ask.

Reflecting inwardly.

This newly promoted leader is truly fierce; that amount of lightning strikes from the sky couldn’t be withstood at any level.

It’s clear now that his ghost detection ability is strong, his equipment could overturn a fortress, and his individual power was even more terrifying.

The assessment of the headquarters indeed had a basis; not letting someone like this be a leader would be even more dangerous if let loose.

“I’m fine; the body is mine, is that okay?” Wu Heng asked.

The two elders exchanged a look, both raising their eyebrows.

Who’s daring enough to say it’s a problem?

The Elf Elder laughed, “Of course, there’s no issue, should we truthfully report it?”

“Report it truthfully, it’s just a body, let’s see if it can count toward merit,” Wu Heng said.

Enemies above Level 18 can count as first-class merit.

Being able to strike the Dwarf Elder this way, needless to say, he was also a professional above Level 18.

But this situation was quite special, and since Wu Heng accompanied them, who knows if it will be calculated this way.

Hearing this, the two were delighted; at least there’s a chance for it to count for merit.

“Yes, leader!” The two immediately replied.

“The structure is inside, prepare and arrange for an archaeological team,” Wu Heng said.

“Okay, I’ll organize the personnel now, and we’ll prepare to go in,” the Elf Elder said, then began returning to the ship, gathering the others to prepare for the archaeological dig.

Wu Heng took the lead, walking through the ruins into the grand hall at the back.

Xiao Xiao was beside him, like a guide, “The body was sitting right here, then an explosion outside caused flying stones to hit him.”

“Oh, right, and here he even shed a layer of skin, like peeling shrimp,” she added.

Wu Heng looked to the side of the stone chair, where he could see torn skin.

“Is it useful?” Glenda asked.

Wu Heng took a glance, no panel information appeared; the only possibility was as a ritual material.

“Store it for now, discard it if it’s useless,” Wu Heng had Tiao Tiao wrap it up, storing it in the Space Ring as well.

Then the trio, along with the three ghosts, continued towards the innermost room.

The internal layout was relatively simple, with a separate bedroom and outer room. The outer room showed traces of furniture, but the wood and fabric had all rotted away completely.

Only some bronze items, tortoise shells, and bones, because of the humidity, had barely survived.

Carvings of birds and beasts adorned them.

Wu Heng scanned each with his eyes, confirming they weren’t special items or tools, so he left them for the Hongwen Alliance to excavate.

“Wu Heng, come inside and take a look,” Glenda called from the inner room.

Wu Heng entered, “What did you find?”

“There are several metal plates in here, with some writing on them,” Glenda said.

Following her guidance, Wu Heng found the metal plates she mentioned.

There were six in total, linked together, and the text on them made Wu Heng raise his eyebrows.

Oracle bone script.

It turned out to be from predecessors of his world.

Upon flipping open the first piece, the panel prompt suddenly appeared.
