1447 Besieged
The Rand Chamber of Comrce was in the periphery area of the Frost Hell.
It was in the middle of a certain valley.
The Rand Chamber of Comrce was surrounded by undead creatures.
From the very beginning, the Rand Chamber of Comrce had no intention of competing with the other large chambers of comrce during the Hunting Day. They were cautious and didn’t dare to make any big moves. After entering the Frost Hell, they imdiately went to a very small gathering area.
Little did they expect to be ambushed by mbers of the Culodi Trading Company.
There were only three exits in the entire valley. By the ti the Rand Chamber of Comrce reacted, they were already surrounded by a large number of undead creatures.
Wendy’s face was solemn. She looked at the people from the Culodi Trading Company who had gathered not far away and said in a deep voice, “City Lord has ordered that no one is allowed to kill each other in the Frost Hell. Aren’t you afraid of being held accountable by the City Lord once you leave?”
“Huh? Held accountable?”
A young man walked out from the crowd outside with an arrogant smile on his face. “Being held accountable? What for? You guys just miscalculated the situation. You were accidentally surrounded by the undead creatures and died in the valley. What does it have to do with our Culodi Trading Company?”
Wendy bit her lip.
She knew that young man. He was the next generation nurtured by the Culodi Trading Company. His na was Gano. So ti ago, he had made all kinds of obstacles in the open and the dark, causing a considerable impact on their business.
Elisa looked worried as she whispered, “Wendy, they seem to be able to control these undead creatures and want to use them against us.”
“Alright.”
Outside, more and more undead creatures were swarming into the valley.
The huge soul stone that the Rand Chamber of Comrce brought along could reduce the attack probability of the surrounding undead creatures. But there were too many undead creatures around. So the effect was greatly reduced.
Helplessly, the team gathered in the center and relied on the burning soul fla to weaken the strength of the surrounding undead creatures.
However, soul fla required fuel and a continuous supply of ntal strength from the team.
When the fla burned out, they would definitely be swallowed by the surrounding undead creatures.
Wendy focused her gaze on the Culodi Trading Company mbers in the distance. “Our Rand Chamber of Comrce has always done business in an honest manner. Even if we have so business conflicts with you, there’s no need to be so ruthless, right?”
“Haha. Done business in an honest way?”
Gano seed to have heard sothing very funny and couldn’t help but laugh. “So you still don’t know anything. Idiots. You are really idiots. You don’t even know how you will die.”
A few months ago, she had a vague feeling that several major Chamber of Comrce were targeting them.
At first, she thought that the major Chamber of Comrce felt that the Rand Chamber of Comrce had developed too quickly in the past few years and had reached an agreent with each other to kick them out.
But now, it seed like it wasn’t just that.
Gano’s intuition told him that he had the situation under control. He was a little carried away by his pride and could not help but taunt, “You bunch of idiots. You don’t even know that the stone in your hands is a treasure.”
What stone?
Elisa turned around in surprise and looked at the soul stone placed beside the soul fla.
This stone was probably found by Elisa and Wendy a few months ago when they were tidying up the old family warehouse.
The Rand Chamber of Comrce used to be in the pawn business. And they had found many pawned items in the old warehouse.
Like other items, the stone was unclaid after hundreds of years and automatically belonged to the Rand Chamber of Comrce.
Wendy asked soone to study the stone and found that it had the effect of concealing the aura of life form. Besides its weight, it could be said to be extrely useful.
At the mont, they relied on the life aura-shielding effect of the stone to prevent the nearby horde of undead creatures from becoming even more frenzied.
Did it have other unknown properties?
Was this the reason why the Culodi Trading Company was targeting them everywhere?
Several thoughts flashed through Wendy’s mind. And then she imdiately said in a deep voice, “I’ll give you the stone if you let us go.”
“Heh. Now do you want to obediently hand it over? Unfortunately, it’s a little too late. I don’t want to be entangled with your Rand Chamber of Comrce in the future.”
Gano sneered. “You should have agreed when I asked soone to buy your stone at a high price. Who made you so greedy?”
Elisa focused her mind and continuously poured her ntal strength into the soul fla. She whispered, “Wendy, the soul fla can only last for two hours at most. The longer we delay, the more undead creatures there will be. While we still have combat strength, we should think of a way to escape as soon as possible.”
“Just wait a little longer. The signal has been sent out. Wait a bit longer.”
Wendy replied in a low voice, “I’m getting people to prepare. Their target is the stone. When we leave, I’ll destroy the stone. When the ti cos, we should take the shrapnel and escape separately. The shrapnel can block our aura and evade the undead attacks. When we retreat, you don’t have to worry about . Go alone first. We’ll make it out as many as we can.”
Gano saw the few of them talking softly and sneered. “What? Do you still want soone to save you? That Fang Heng? Don’t waste your ti. They’ve already ventured deep into the Frost Hell. Our people have been watching them all this ti. It’s impossible for them to co back in ti. So, it’s better for you to be obedient. The sooner you give up resisting, the sooner we’ll finish this.”
As he spoke, a subordinate hurried over and whispered sothing in Gano’s ear.
“Hmm? What did you say?”
Gano was stunned when he heard that. He then turned around to look at the back of the team.
A commotion broke out at the rear of the team.
In the distance, a large number of Ice Bones attracted by the holy aura had been stimulated by sothing. They ignored the aura barrier around them and directly attacked the Culodi Trading Company mbers.
The Culodi Trading Company was caught off guard by the attack. For a mont, they were caught off guard. And so minor chaos appeared in the team.
Different from before, the pupils of this group of Ice Bones flickered with scarlet soul flas.
What was going on?
“Bring over to take a look!”
Ignoring the besieged Rand Chamber of Comrce, Gano personally rushed towards the rear of the team. And he discovered that a large number of out-of-control Ice Bones had appeared behind them. They stumbled into the barrier area and engaged the team in battle.
“Get lost! Stay away from !”
Gano frowned and shouted as he poured his ntal strength into the dark green rune stone in his hand again.
A buzzing sound ca over.
The rune stone emitted a faint light, enveloping the team with a transparent shield.
It was actually ineffective.
Why was that?
Gano fiddled with the green rune stone in his hand and suddenly panicked.
Why was it ineffective?
What was wrong?
Not far away, Fang Heng had been hiding in the dark.
He had been here for more than ten minutes and had been observing the situation.
Gano’s team used the silver nail magic tool they had seen before to set up a small magic array near the entrance of the valley. Through the magic array, the holy aura was guided into the center of the valley where the Rand Chamber of Comrce team was located.
Large numbers of Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits nearby were attracted by the holy aura.
Then, Gano used the green stone in his hand to create a special barrier around the area.
The undead creatures seed to be unable to sense the presence of Gano’s team after being attracted here. So they attacked the Ed Chamber of Comrce mbers in the valley.
