World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 569 - 445: The Corpse Demon in the Cavern

"It seems we’ve been here before."

Zhang Xiaoman observed again before shaking his head with a hint of helplessness.

In this underground cave where visibility was limited and darkness surrounded them, it was far too easy to get lost.

Moreover, in many places, he felt that after circling around, he ended up back where he started, lacking some clear identifying features.

"Huh? Wait a minute, is that a fork in the road over there?"

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly noticed a path that seemed to be walkable behind the protruding rock wall.

"Could it be here?"

His eyes lit up, feeling that this time he might have found the correct path.

Although the underground cave was extensive, after his long search, he felt he had nearly explored every part of it.

This path was the only area he had previously overlooked.

Without much hesitation, Zhang Xiaoman followed the path.

After traversing a lengthy stretch of narrow terrain, he finally sensed something different at the edge of his Spirit Detection Technique’s range.

"There, just as I suspected, something’s going on!"

He quickened his pace and moved forward. In his field of view stood several enormous figures.

Counting them, there was precisely one big and seven small, exactly as Xu Fei had described.

"Found it!"

Joy blossomed in Zhang Xiaoman’s heart; the so-called Corpse Demon and giant cocoon were at the end of this little path!

At the same time, the seven figures also began to move.

They seemed to have also sensed Zhang Xiaoman’s presence, a being with Dark Energy. In unison, they turned their heads, their gazes piercing through the walls as if looking directly at him.

"Such dense Dark Energy fluctuations!"

At the sight, the flicker of joy in Zhang Xiaoman’s heart suddenly vanished, his expression becoming extraordinarily grave, and his body involuntarily tensed up.

Strong, very strong.

He could feel that each of the seven figures was incredibly powerful.

And the cocoon in the center had a concentration of Dark Energy that was even stronger than the Emperor Vine he had encountered initially.

"It seems that the situation is more complicated than I thought..."

Zhang Xiaoman stopped in his tracks.

He did not rush forward. The opposition’s lineup was much stronger than he had imagined, even giving him a sense of invincibility.

The seven monsters guarding the giant cocoon could each be considered a formidable opponent.

Not to mention that these seven bosses were all standing together; even he had no confidence in his heart at this moment.

So it goes to say, the way we played games and cleared dungeons before were all unreasonable.

If all the bosses were like these Corpse Demons, crowding together, then what chance would players have?

Zhang Xiaoman hesitated inwardly; it seemed he needed to change his battle plan as he definitely couldn’t make it through by brute force against such a powerful lineup.

Standing still, he pondered his strategy, while the group of Corpse Demons didn’t make any moves and just watched him from a distance.

"It seems that in these creatures’ minds, protecting that giant cocoon is their utmost priority..."

Zhang Xiaoman witnessed this scene and began to ponder, a plan starting to take shape in his mind.

After a moment of thought, he glanced at his remaining points once more, wondering whether he should just forgo consideration of Contribution Value and spend them all upon return to Upgrade a wave of Skills before coming back to farm these BOSSES.

"Forget it, that method is too risky," he thought. "System Upgrades are all random, and many Skills and items can’t immediately enhance Combat Power. If the points are used up and the result is only a small increase in Combat Power, then that would truly be a losing deal."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, temporarily dismissing the idea he just had.

He decided to try probing first, and if it really didn’t work out, then it wouldn’t be too late to return and Upgrade.

With his mind made up, he immediately adjusted his attitude, took a deep breath, and led a dozen or so Star Guards toward the target location.

The seven figures had been watching them all along and now seeing their movements, they all adopted a defensive stance, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Naturally, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t be at the very front; he let two Star Guards scout ahead following the earlier pattern, while he led the main force behind them.

However, as they approached and the two Star Guards left the small path, he lost contact with them in an instant.

Zhang Xiaoman was shocked. In his Spirit Detection Technique, he sensed two powerful Dark Energy Fluctuations flash by, and the two Star Guards were instantly killed by these strikes.

"Hiss, what terrifying Strength."

Zhang Xiaoman frowned deeply.

These Star Guards, even if their Attack Power was limited, were very durable as puppet units. Now to be killed in one blow was truly surprising.

It was like when you’re fighting a BOSS, and your tank is embarrassingly squashed in the Charge by the monster.

The last time he encountered such a situation was in the small forest on the Moon.

Back then, it was also because a monster managed to bite through him after getting close. This time, it seemed that the Corpse Demon’s attack methods were much more effortless than before.

"This just shows that the opponent is even stronger than anticipated."

Alarm bells were ringing in Zhang Xiaoman’s heart, but he did not stop because of it.

Some things must be confronted. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Eventually, as he advanced, the small path still came to an end.

His Field of View subsequently widened, and the scene hidden behind it entered his eyes for the first time.

This was a massive space, much taller than the outside Underground cave.

Somehow the Mist also seemed to have thinned a lot, greatly broadening one’s visibility.

Zhang Xiaoman saw, at the center of this vast space, seven gigantic figures, each fifteen meters tall.

With long limbs and standing on two feet, their skin was an ominous pale color throughout, wrinkled just like the Corpse Demon he had seen before.

Each of these monsters had six arms, and also a pair of wings on their backs similar to those of a bat.

However, these wings were completely disproportionate to their gigantic bodies, appearing very small and seemingly just for decoration.

"It really is the Corpse Demon!"

Zhang Xiaoman confirmed in his mind, for he saw no eyes or nose on their faces, undoubtedly matching the biggest characteristic of Corpse Demons.

Additionally, in the center of each of their six palms, there was an eye, red as blood, which also resembled the Big Corpse Demon he had encountered before.

At this moment, all seven gigantic Corpse Demons focused their attention on him and the crowd of Star Guards.

Behind them stood a huge white cocoon, fifty meters tall.

Inside the cocoon, odd flashes of red light would occasionally shine through. Through those lights, Zhang Xiaoman glimpsed the horrifying figure contained within.
