Chapter 265 Collecting Glass Tears
Chapter 265 Collecting Glass Tears
Seeing the team members respond enthusiastically, Yuan Bao's lips curled up, and the captain, Wu Dongmeihuo, also showed a satisfied smile, his finger lightly clicking "Confirm Entry".
In an instant, the screen lights shifted, and everyone was once again drawn into a mysterious and unpredictable story instance.
Once the surrounding scenery became clear, they found themselves in a desolate ancient battlefield, with ruins and broken walls standing everywhere, the ground covered with charred marks, and the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood.
Yuan Bao looked around warily, keeping an eye out for potential dangers while reminding everyone in the team channel: "Everyone be careful, this place looks dangerous, stay alert."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister horn sounded, dust billowed in the distance, and a group of ghostly soldiers clad in heavy black armor and wielding sharp blades surged forward like a tidal wave.
These ghostly soldiers emanated a ghostly green light, their empty eye sockets gleaming with an eerie glow, exuding a chilling aura.
Seeing this, Little King Kong's blood boiled instantly, and he roared, "Perfect timing! I'll take care of you all!"
Having said that, he charged towards the ghost soldiers like a moving mountain, wielding his giant axe with great force, each swing creating a gust of wind that repelled the ghost soldiers wherever he went.
The puppeteer swiftly manipulated the mechanical puppets, which, with heavy steps, joined the battle.
The puppet's massive weapon slammed into the ghost soldiers repeatedly, producing dull thuds and tearing open gaps in the ranks of ghost soldiers.
Archer Mu Bai stood on high ground, nocked his bow and shot arrows. The arrows streaked across the sky like meteors, accurately hitting the vital points of the ghost soldiers. Each arrow took the "life" of a ghost soldier.
While closely monitoring his teammates' health and preparing to use the Medicine King's Healing Technique at any moment, Yuan Bao also summoned a battle spirit to assist in the battle.
The captain, with her captivating dance, traverses the battlefield, seeking the perfect moment to unleash her charm skill.
She spotted the ghost soldier's commander, and with a rapid wave of her hands, released a powerful, alluring light.
The commander was struck by the light and instantly fell into chaos, his once orderly attack formation collapsing into disarray.
However, the ghost soldiers were numerous and kept pouring in.
The battle reached a stalemate, and although the team members cooperated well, they gradually began to struggle.
Just then, Yuan Bao noticed that the ghost soldiers' attacks seemed to follow a certain pattern; before each charge, the flags in their hands would wave rhythmically.
She immediately shouted in the team chat: "Everyone, pay attention to their flags, dodge their attacks in rhythm, and we'll find an opportunity to counterattack!" Her teammates understood and adjusted their tactics.
With Yuan Bao's reminder, the group gradually regained their footing and seized the opportunity during the ghost soldiers' attack to launch a fierce counterattack.
Just as everyone was celebrating their victory over the ghost soldiers, a chilling, biting wind swept in, and the entire desolate ancient battlefield was instantly shrouded in thick black fog.
Amidst the howling wind, a tall, cold-faced woman slowly emerged. She wore a black robe and exuded a chilling aura of evil; she was none other than the main antagonist of the story, the Ghost Mother.
At the same time, the system's plot introduction popped up in time: At the Fengdu Altar, the Ghost Mother has long been entrenched, and she is obsessed with collecting a drop of heartbreaking glass tear.
If someone can help her complete the collection, she will treat them kindly; otherwise, a thrilling and fierce battle awaits them.
Upon seeing the mission notification, the team leader, Dancing Enchantress, was initially taken aback, but then a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She excitedly said in the team channel, "Don't panic, everyone! This mission might be a good opportunity for us!"
My charm ability can not only put people to sleep, but also manipulate their dreams.
"As long as I use my skill to put all the ghost soldiers present to sleep, and then manipulate their dreams, I'm sure I can make them shed tears of sorrow. All you have to do is collect the Glass Tears!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao and the other team members' eyes lit up with hope, and they quickly nodded in agreement.
Without further ado, the captain took a deep breath, moved his hands rapidly, and muttered incantations.
A series of dazzling lights flew from her hands and drifted towards the ghost soldiers.
Wherever the light touched, the ghost soldiers' previously empty eyes instantly became glazed, and then they slowly closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Immediately afterwards, the captain focused his attention and began to manipulate the dreams of the ghost soldiers.
For a moment, a mysterious atmosphere filled the battlefield. The expressions of the sleeping ghost soldiers gradually turned painful, some with furrowed brows and others with twitching eyes.
Before long, crystal-clear tears slid down from their empty eyes. At first, there were only one or two drops, but then more and more fell like beads from a broken string.
The tears floated in mid-air, emitting a soft blue light, like fireflies dancing in the sky, a truly beautiful sight.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Bao immediately took action.
Holding a specially made glass bottle, she weaved among the ghost soldiers, diligently collecting glass tears.
But there were just too many tears, and Yuan Bao felt overwhelmed and couldn't keep up at all.
"This won't do, we have to find a way to speed things up." Yuan Bao was extremely anxious, when suddenly an idea struck him, and he summoned the four divine beasts from his battle spirits.
"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, come out and help me collect the Glazed Tears!" Yuan Bao shouted.
With a loud dragon roar, the enormous body of the Azure Dragon appeared first. It swung its long tail and used its huge claws to grab glass bottles one by one, quickly collecting the tears.
With his agile speed, Baihu swiftly weaved among the ghost soldiers, accurately collecting the Glass Tears into the bottle.
The Vermilion Bird spread its magnificent wings and exhaled a gentle stream of air, gathering the suspended glass tears together for Yuan Bao to collect.
Xuanwu then used his powerful water control abilities to guide the Glazed Tears into a specially made container.
With the assistance of the four divine beasts, the speed of collecting the Glazed Tears greatly increased.
The system displays the number of collected Glass Tears in real time in the upper right corner of the story instance, and the number keeps jumping up.
The team members also gave it their all. Little King Kong, with his strong physique, held a huge container and collected the glass tears from the top.
The puppeteer manipulated the mechanical puppets to help Yuan Bao pass the bottle filled with glass tears;
Archer Mu Bai used his ranged attack advantage to shoot down the distant Glass Tears with his arrows, making it easier for his teammates to collect them.
As time went on, the collection of Glass Tears progressed faster and faster.
But just when it was almost finished with only a few hundred drops left, an accident happened.
The Ghost Mother seemed to sense that everyone was collecting the Glass Tears. She snorted coldly and waved her hands, sending a powerful surge of black energy towards them.
Wherever this energy reached, the ghost soldiers awoke from their slumber and stopped weeping.
"Oh no, the Demon Mother is interfering with us! Everyone be careful!" Captain Dancing Enchantress shouted a warning.
Seeing this, Yuan Bao immediately used his defensive skill, creating a golden shield for his teammates to block the black energy attack...
