Berserk

Curse of the Corpse Demon!

This is a curse technique originating from Ogre Shamans!

Ogre Shamans typically choose anywhere from five to ten Ogres within their tribe as targets for their spellcasting!

Once the curse is successfully cast, these Ogres gain a special connection!

If an Ogre afflicted with the Curse of the Corpse Demon is killed, the remaining Ogres will instantly enter a state of berserk rage!

At that point, the surviving Ogres' strength will multiply several times over, and they will madly attack any creature around them!

This was a record Li Mengzhang had once seen in an adventurer's notebook!

At the time, he hadn't believed what was written in it, thinking it was just some adventurer's fabricated storybook.

It wasn't until today, when Li Mengzhang saw these Ogres, that he finally confirmed that everything written in the book was true!

But by the time Li Mengzhang confirmed the situation and wanted to warn those around him, it was already too late!

"Careful, something's wrong!"

As Li Mengzhang shouted, Lei Yuanyun, who was basking in the cheers of his teammates, suddenly felt four terrifying auras approaching from behind him!

Before he could even turn his head to check the situation, Lei Yuanyun felt a massive wave of energy surge towards him!

Lei Yuanyun's heart was shaken. Instinctively, he rotated the handle of his hammer, slinging the great hammer onto his back!

Instantly, the colossal wave hit him, and Lei Yuanyun was sent flying dozens of meters like a cannonball!

He felt as though all his internal organs had been scattered, and blood mixed with shredded flesh sprayed from his mouth!

Lei Yuanyun was instantly and severely wounded by an Ogre's attack!

If Lei Yuanyun hadn't been a Gold-grade Awakened One himself, that single blow would have been enough to kill him!

"Aaaahhh—"

At the same time, continuous screams erupted!

As the Ogres' strength surged, the Warriors who were barely managing to restrain them could no longer hold on!

With a mere tug from an Ogre, dozens of Warriors were yanked into the air as if pulling up radishes!

In the Ogres' hands, the Warriors were like straw, utterly unable to resist, only able to let out screams!

Just as the Warriors were about to be slammed onto the ground by the Ogres, a gentle voice suddenly rang out!

"Holy Spirit's Guidance!"

Yun Yu clasped her hands together, her staff floating in front of her, emitting a dazzling white light!

The white light splashed out, transforming into dozens of beams that connected to each Warrior in the air!

A pulling force immediately acted upon each Warrior, drawing them towards Yun Yu!

Lei Yuanyun, who had been sent flying dozens of meters away, was also pulled over by Yun Yu!

Crack, crack, crack...

Several jars filled with a deep purple liquid appeared out of nowhere, shattering at the feet of the Ogres with a series of pops and crackles, instantly releasing a large amount of purple smoke!

Sizzle—!!!

The four Ogres came into contact with the purple mist, and the sound of flesh being corroded echoed!

"The poison gas can only restrict them temporarily. Their strength has increased; this won't kill them..."

Wang Xin appeared beside Li Mengzhang and said in a cold, low voice.

"I understand, spread out!"

Li Mengzhang nodded, turned his head, and began directing the team to prepare to face the rampaging Monsters!

"Everyone, don't get too close. If you're targeted, focus on dodging and don't engage directly!"

"Abandon the strategy of containment; everyone switch to guerrilla warfare!"

"All Warriors, set up traps. Archers, prepare to harass the Ogres!"

As Li Mengzhang's orders were issued, the still-panicked team found their backbone and began to move quickly!

"Tch! That hit really hurt!"

Lei Yuanyun spat out the blood and phlegm from his mouth, standing up again with Yun Yu's healing!

"You were careless, be more careful next time,"

Yun Yu said with a smile, a hint of teasing in her tone.

Hearing Yun Yu's words, Lei Yuanyun's face showed embarrassment, and he said with a laugh:

"I just didn't notice..."

He looked at the four Ogres emerging from the poisonous smoke, his mouth twitched, and a smile of fighting spirit appeared.

Recalling the attack just now, he had truly walked the line between life and death!

Lei Yuanyun hadn't felt this way in a long time; his fighting spirit had completely ignited!

Roar—!!!

The four Ogres let out a simultaneous, earth-shattering roar, making the entire cave tremble!

Lei Yuanyun grabbed the warhammer from the ground and slung it over his shoulder, slowly walking to Li Mengzhang's side.

Li Mengzhang, Wang Xin, and Lei Yuanyun stood in a line, all staring at the four Ogres, each standing three meters tall!

"Four against three... how should we split them?"

Lei Yuanyun turned his head slightly and asked Li Mengzhang.

Li Mengzhang slowly drew his longsword, his expression calm as he said:

"Let's separate the battlefield. One each, and the remaining one can be handled by the team members below."

Wang Xin drew two short swords, an unnaturally vibrant green, and said with a cold face:

"I'm not good at direct combat. It will just run around..."

"Then try to stay closer to my side. But if you do, I won't be able to go all out. Old Lei, you need to finish yours quickly."

Li Mengzhang held his longsword level, a grim coldness flashing across his face!

Lei Yuanyun grinned, revealing two rows of large white teeth, his fighting spirit blazing as he said:

"Leave it to me, I'll finish it as soon as possible!"

He gripped the handle of his hammer tightly, his entire arm bulging with veins!

The three captains exchanged a look and then charged towards the four Ogres!

"Haa—Thunderous Strike!"

Lei Yuanyun was the first to arrive. Facing the sweeping wooden club, he swung his full power from top to bottom!

Rumble—!

A muffled thunderous sound echoed through the sewer as Lei Yuanyun's hammer smashed the incoming wooden club into the ground!

He shifted his footing, spun his body rapidly with the warhammer, and swung another hammer blow at the Ogre!

"This one's for you!"

Bang!

With Lei Yuanyun's powerful hammer blow, the Ogre on the far right was sent flying!

Without hesitation, Lei Yuanyun easily stopped the warhammer's momentum and pursued his target!

Meanwhile, Li Mengzhang and Wang Xin also caught up to the Ogres, one after the other!

Li Mengzhang glanced at the remaining three Ogres, then turned his head and shouted to Wang Xin:

"Wang Xin, leave the injured one to the other team members."

"Okay!"

Wang Xin nodded slightly, sheathed her short swords, and her rapidly moving body instantly vanished!

In a flash, a phantom image suddenly appeared behind the injured Ogre!

Wang Xin's fingers intertwined rapidly in the air, and a ribbon woven from shadow energy was quickly formed!

Curse: Sensory Deprivation!

Wang Xin threw the ribbon in her hand, instantly wrapping it around the Ogre's head!

Then, Wang Xin stopped paying attention to this Ogre, drew her short swords, and charged towards the two Ogres already engaged in combat with Li Mengzhang!

At this moment, Li Mengzhang was fighting two Ogres alone, but he dared not confront them head-on!

Cloud Concealment Thunderclap!

Li Mengzhang formed a sword finger with his left hand and quickly brushed it across his longsword!

White mist instantly exploded with Li Mengzhang's movement, and blue lightning rolled within the mist!

"Go!"

Li Mengzhang slashed his longsword, and the rolling mist immediately flew towards the two Ogres!

Rumble...

Crackling—!

Lightning exploded, and Li Mengzhang successfully drew the attention of the two Ogres, both of whom roared and charged at him!

Roar—!!!

Wang Xin appeared beside Li Mengzhang, and the two exchanged a glance!

Then Wang Xin slowly retreated and disappeared again.

At this moment, Li Mengzhang's body was faintly flashing with lightning, and the lightning dancing on his longsword was even more dazzling!

He held his longsword level and said in a deep voice:

"Bring it on!"
