Chapter 536: Chapter 267: Escape_2

As he spoke, the five seconds were almost up, and the faint golden light from the scrolls attached to everyone began to shimmer. The gentle golden glow made their bodies start to become illusory.

"Yue Li, cancel the spell." Long Dangdang suddenly said to Yue Li.

Yue Li was a bit astonished as she looked at him. Even if they were to teleport away, as soon as they left and the Ice Thunder Spear exploded, it would still cost that female wraith’s life.

But she didn’t ask any questions, and according to Long Dangdang’s command, retrieved the power of the Ice Thunder Spear, controlling the magic to slowly drill out of the wraith’s chest. Of course, the wraith’s life was still in the hands of Ming Xi. Struck by the Divine Hammer of Light, that female wraith had not woken up yet.

Long Dangdang fixed his gaze on the 9th Rank undead, and the opponent, seeing that Long Dangdang had Yue Li withdraw the magic, had the fury in his eyes fade slightly, and let out a low roar. "I want to be with her, even if I have to sell my soul..."

Long Dangdang could not hear the rest of his words as the effect of the scroll set in place. The teleportation began as gold light flickered, and the next moment, seven figures vanished simultaneously.

Subsequently, the effect of the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace connected to the 9th Rank undead also disappeared. His figure flickered in the air and he quickly caught his falling lover. Feeling that his lover was not in danger, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As he infused the wraith energy into his lover to heal her wounds, an expression of confusion appeared in his eyes. "Sacrifice the soul, county-level soul... The glory of a knight? What is glory compared to her...

The gold light flickered, and by the time Long Dangdang and the others could see clearly, they were back in the familiar tent. Ling Menglu had set the return point of the Teleportation Scroll here in advance.

With a "bang", the armor on Long Dangdang’s body instantly disintegrated into sparkling points of light and returned to the three Spirit Furnaces.

Long Dangdang sat on the ground, panting heavily, and couldn’t help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

Ling Menglu quickly cast another healing spell on him to stabilize his condition.

In the previous fight, it was as if Long Dangdang was alone in facing the 9th Rank undead, taking on most of the pressure.

Everyone still looked terrified. The power of a 9th Rank undead was simply too strong. If it weren’t for the Teleportation Scroll, they might have all fallen there today. Even if Long Dangdang summoned Little Eight, it was impossible to resist that tangled undead’s terrifying fighting power.

"We’re at a loss, a big loss. We didn’t complete a single task, and we even used up a Teleportation Scroll." Long Kongkong grumbled. He was feeling uncomfortably full as he was quickly filtering the absorbed energy through the Rising Spiritual Power Shield and transmitting it to the others.

Everyone’s faces looked somewhat gloomy. This trip, they were very cautious. To avoid risks, they had chosen to target stranded low-level wraith entities. But who would’ve thought they’d encounter a 9th Rank undead, a being beyond their ability to confront. Being able to escape in one piece was already very fortunate. But they knew the value of a Teleportation Scroll. These scrolls were specifically obtained for Ling Menglu, Long Dangdang, and Long Kongkong. Shelling out one without any gain left them a little disheartened.

"Everyone start converting spiritual power." Long Dangdang didn’t say much and immediately indicated to the others.

After returning to the safety of the tent, everyone was free to convert the spiritual power that Long Kongkong had previously swallowed. Long Kongkong’s outer spiritual power was now quite impressive, his body could take on more spiritual power. In addition, the energy from the 9th Rank undead was extremely pure. It took almost half an hour to fully absorb and convert, but everyone’s faces looked a lot better thereafter.

After the final battle, the spiritual power that Long Kongkong devoured and converted allowed everyone to absorb more, increasing every person’s inner spiritual power by about one hundred. This would be a considerable increase for other teams. For them, it was not much, but still acceptable. Of course, compared to the Teleportation Scroll, they couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.

After they had absorbed and converted all the spiritual power, they checked the records of the seed spirit crystal. Long Dangdang couldn’t help but frowned. They didn’t complete any of the tasks they had undertaken, not a single one, not only complete tasks, even the high-level wraiths required to be killed by the tasks, not one was defeated. Only the merit bangle from the army recorded a few merits, the quantity was of course very limited. After all, the merit value of low-level wraiths is also limited.

Everyone’s gaze focused on Long Dangdang. Ling Menglu said, "This time was an accident. After all, none of us thought we would encounter such a powerful undead in the wild. Being able to retreat in one piece is already quite good. We just need to be more careful in the future. Consider this a chance for us to hone our skills against powerful foes."

Ming Xi, on the other hand, spoke without a care in the world: "I didn’t expect we could now survive in the face of a 9th Rank powerful expert. It seems we really have become stronger!"

From her perspective, it does seem to be the case. Escaping from a 9th Rank powerful expert does demonstrate their overall strength has increased. If they were facing an 8th Rank undead, it wouldn’t be clear who would win or lose. After all, Ling Menglu has Epic Class equipment.

"We rest for one day, then we will set off again," Long Dangdang didn’t say much more. They didn’t gain much this time, so they would just have to make up for it next time.

However, he learned a lot from this experience. The situation when facing the wraith legion and in the Devil Realm are completely different. Firstly, the mindset is different. Being in the Devil Realm, you can’t die, which is a significant advantage, and enemies come in wave after wave, allowing plenty of time to strategize. However, facing the wraith legion is another story. The first priority is to ensure safety, and you can’t provoke too many wraith entities. Otherwise, even if you killed them, you wouldn’t have time to absorb so much energy, and this would result in a situation where the losses outweigh the gains. It resulted in them being somewhat cautious in their actions.

Everyone else returned to their rooms to rest, while Long Dangdang continued to ponder about how to maximize their benefits under these circumstances, instead of returning home defeated like this time, wasting a precious teleportation slot.

With their strength, they should not just focus on killing low-level wraiths.

What problems do they need to solve to gain enough benefits and truly weaken the wraith entities on a substantial level?

Long Dangdang listed several problems they were currently facing in his mind. The most important of course was ensuring their own safety, only by ensuring their safety could they better kill their enemies. The next issue was how to fully absorb and devour the wraith energy after killing a wraith entity.

Although Long Kongkong’s devouring ability has improved a lot compared to before and can contain more energy, it’s still limited. After all, he is still only a 5th Rank and not yet a 6th Rank. The total amount of spiritual power is fixed, even if outer spiritual power is strong, it’s the same.

This limited their ability to kill a large number of wraith entities at once. Killing them is useless, as most of the wraith energy was taken back, and it wouldn’t take long for another wraith legion to form. This deterred Long Dangdang from exerting large-scale magic to harm wraith entities, not to mention the energy fluctuations from casting large-scale magic are hard to conceal and could be easily detected.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was in a bind.

If he couldn’t figure it out, then he might as well stop thinking. When in doubt, ask the spirit furnace. With so many Wisdom Spirit Furnaces with ten thousand years of experience, consulting them at a critical moment might just lead to some gains.

Under the bright moon, Long Dangdang messaged Long Kongkong privately, "Come to my place."

Under the bright moon, Long Kongkong messaged Long Dangdang back, "Finally found your conscience? Letting me sleep inside?"
