The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 811 - 448: Echoes of the Past

At this moment, Ye Feng was preparing to draw his bow and shoot the second Undead Banshee.

Riegel exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, just like that, our teamwork is too strong! Any monster in front of us is just waiting to be slaughtered!"

Rod quickly shouted, "It’s no use! Killing the Undead Banshee is useless. The Undead Banshee here is a derivative creation."

Riegel still didn’t understand what was happening when Ye Feng scattered the Moonlight and jumped in front of Rod, anxiously asking, "What? What did you say? Derivative creation? Their power source isn’t in their souls? How do you know this?"

Of course, the real reason couldn’t be revealed, so Rod instantly thought up an explanation, "My Soul Blast can sense the strength of their soul structure. The souls of the Undead Banshee are supported by strong Spiritual Energy, like a balloon with an empty shell inside."

This explanation was so plausible that even Rod believed it to be true. But in reality, when the Soul Blast encounters resistance, it’s always because the opponent’s power far surpasses his own; otherwise, Rod wouldn’t feel any difference.

Ye Feng and Riegel naturally had no doubts.

"I’ve never encountered such strong derivative creations before."

Riegel looked at the distant wailing banshee in shock, disbelief filling his eyes.

"Back in the Trolian territory, I walked everywhere as if I owned the place. Unless my Spiritual Energy was exhausted, no monster could threaten me. I thought I was invincible in the world..."

Ye Feng’s expression was grave as he said in a deep voice, "There can’t be any dark distortion phenomena here. I haven’t sensed any anomalies. If the Undead Banshee is a derivative creation, then they are likely summoned using the power of the Black Fog."

Rod suddenly thought of a possibility, "If it’s a summoning, then could there be more..."

Before he finished speaking, they heard another wailing from the distance, and two more Undead Banshees rose from behind the mountain, rushing towards them at high speed.

But they were soon intercepted by Jessica.

Now, the number of Undead Banshees besieging her increased by one.

Everyone’s faces turned grim. It was obvious she wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer this way.

Ye Feng decisively said, "The source of the summoning must be nearby! We must find it quickly!"

However, when they reached the summoning location behind the mountain, two more Undead Banshees appeared in another direction.

The number of Undead Banshees attacking Jessica suddenly became nine.

Ye Feng knew the situation was dire, and the source of the summoning was likely underground, with the two summoning points being at least ten thousand yards apart.

Searching such a vast area was extremely difficult.

Sure enough, they dug around the two summoning points but found nothing.

Ye Feng’s expression was grim.

Digging up the entire ten thousand yards radius was impossible.

He had only one choice left.

"If we don’t get new support, we must retreat," Ye Feng said in a deep voice.

"Is there no other way?" Riegel asked unwillingly.

Ye Feng replied with a grim face, "No, it’s the only choice. If we hold on any longer, even worse things may happen."

Rod’s heart sank. This was 20 points of Divinity—how could they give up?

But how to find it?

Rod gazed at the rugged land and rolling hills, the thick Black Fog shrouding most of the scenery in darkness, only faintly seeing the Spiritual Energy flashes as Jessica battled the banshees.

He inquired in his mind, asking the Book of Knowledge.

"Book, is there a way?"

The Book of Knowledge was silent for a moment, regretfully shaking its head, "Sorry, master, this is not knowledge but information."

He also tried to ask Asa, but Asa was currently absorbed in studying his thirteen poop-colored soul particles and had no time to pay attention to Rod, only responding impatiently.

"I don’t have the ability to traverse dirt. The oddities in the Black Fog are unimaginable; I can’t guess what that is unless you have the ability to foresee."

The Book of Knowledge regretfully said, "If only we had Divinity, the Divine Sense could give us the answer."

The Spirit Mechanism of the Divine Sense can temporarily grant the wisdom and perception of a deity, capable of solving most problems, but it consumes 10 points of Divinity.

But he currently only had 2 points left.

Could it be that they really had to give up?

Rod was very unwilling; it had been a long time since he had tasted failure, and he didn’t want to taste it now.

points of Divinity was not a small amount either.

He desperately racked his brain, trying to think of every possible clue to find the location of the source.

Countless pieces of information flashed in his mind, but unfortunately, none of them were particularly useful.

Seeing Rod’s furrowed brow, Ye Feng sighed lightly, "Stop thinking about it. There are too many possibilities for the source. We’re no different from looking for a needle in a haystack here, unless someone with prophetic abilities comes; otherwise, it’s impossible."

"Once Archbishop’s reply comes, we must retreat. I feel the power of death here is rising, and something more terrifying may appear."

Before he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration struck Rod’s mind, and he thought of a possibility.

Even though this possibility seemed absurd, it was not impossible.

"Ye Feng, Riegel."

Rod suddenly said.

"I want to take another look."

Ye Feng looked at him; if this person wasn’t Rod, he would never agree.

According to Trolian conventions, in battle, unless something is particularly unreasonable, the Captain’s orders cannot be disobeyed. He was the Captain for this mission, and according to his logic, it was best to wait for the answer and most importantly, to think of how to help Jessica get free.
