After learning his new skill, Liu Zhi naturally wasn't going to let it go to waste. He kept casting Wraith Surround, but after three uses, he realized he no longer needed to replenish his health.
The health he'd absorbed was worth less than the magic he'd spent.
Liu Zhi had only just learned this skill, and he hadn't come up with any new ideas for it yet. Since it wasn't very cost-effective, he stopped using it.
He could already tell that this was actually a Necromancer's ultimate skill. Perhaps, at its final stage, it would be able to channel the stolen life force into the Undead Army, but for now, he had no use for it.
While Liu Zhi experimented with his new skill, the ghosts had already engaged the Fishmen.
After the initial confusion, the Fishmen finally showed Liu Zhi the difference between an organized force and a disorganized one.
There was actually a commander among them.
He was positioned at the very rear of the Fishmen's formation.
When the ghosts attacked, the Fishmen fell into chaos, but the commander took notice. At a glance, he could tell that the ghosts weren't organized. They were attacking indiscriminately, drawn to living beings.
So he immediately sent out a group of Fishmen with especially vigorous life force. They used their lives as bait, luring most of the ghosts away.

As for water magic, it could form a shield of magical energy. It couldn't completely stop the ghosts from attacking, but it could keep them at a distance.
With that, the Fishmen's situation stabilized.
Meanwhile, things kept being thrown
