Chapter 3823: 4.1423 Fooled!

"Bang!" Wang Kuang felt the barrier in front of him seemed to break. When he saw a green forest appear before his eyes, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The enchanting woman, her head covered in yellow sand and dust, her entire body disheveled, no longer possessed any of her alluring charm. She was a pathetic beggar, her eyes gleaming with surprise.

"Brother Wang, we broke through the formation, we broke through!"

Thank heavens, they didn't know how long they had been fighting the damned wooden dummies and ghost spirits in that cursed sandy array, but at least they made it out alive.

Looking around, out of their entire mercenary team of twenty-five, only Gu Yixuan, Huang Qishan, Zhong He, Su Fugui, Captain Wang Kuang, team member Little Dou, and herself remained.

Twenty-five people reduced to just seven. Such a survival rate was truly shocking.

Yaohong didn't know whether to kneel and thank the heavens for its mercy.

Yes, it was broken. Wang Kuang also felt a hint of bitterness in his heart.

Before them, the Phoenix Wood Forest's scene of lush greenery, surrounded by trees, reappeared. It was no longer that ghostly place covered in sand.

The disheveled Shi Lang couldn't help but laugh loudly, holding a knife in his hand, his fierce eyes glaring as he scanned the surroundings. "Come out! Get out here, you bastard!"

This cowardly scoundrel, still hiding in the Phoenix Wood Forest! If I catch you, I'll definitely flay you alive to vent my hatred!

Shi Lang's mercenary group was now left with only himself and two twelfth-level Grand Spiritual Masters!

The entire Shi Lang mercenary group had suffered truly devastating losses this time!

It was too much of a trap, simply too much.

On the other side, Queen Vasha's situation was slightly better.

The five from Shadow City—Lin Zhen'er, Zhao Yi, and Qi Fa—were all a bit disheveled.

Mu Xiaoxue, as the daughter of the Great City Lord, though just an ordinary person, was protected by her highly skilled maid, Xiao Rou, and had many life-saving magical treasures. At this moment, she looked like the cleanest and most elegant among them.

Everyone simultaneously relaxed and let out a long breath.

Shi Lang even plopped down on a loose stone beneath a tree, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect that formation to be so difficult to break."

The others also collapsed onto the ground. They had been struggling desperately with the ghost spirits for a long time, and their minds were utterly exhausted.

It was one thing to fight the wooden dummies, but fighting the ghost spirits afterward was a painful torment.

How could ordinary people fight ghost spirits?

After they had used up all their spare talismans, they could only continuously use various spiritual powers to deal with the ghost spirits.

Because ordinary physical attacks like punches and kicks were completely useless against ghost spirits. One misstep or failure to defend in time, and they would be torn to shreds by countless ghost spirits, with no chance of survival.

"Cap-captain, what do we do now?" one of the twelfth-level Spiritual Masters from the mercenary group asked, panting heavily.

"Of course, we find that damned person who set up the formation!" Shi Lang gnashed his teeth.

Suddenly, Yaohong shrieked, "Ah, look quickly!"

At this moment, everyone was still on edge. Hearing that ear-piercing scream, they all frowned in unison and looked towards the direction Yaohong was pointing.

Behind the twelfth-level Spiritual Master who had just spoken, the earth continuously churned. From it emerged a bony white arm, which suddenly wrapped around the Spiritual Master's neck from behind.

Holy hell, a skeletal arm emerged from the ground!
