Evolution game, nothing more than that!

The two nodded, looked at each other, and then discussed in a low voice to decide the order in which to cast the spells.

"However, this ability requires self-harm using a sacrificial knife made of human bones. Although we are not afraid of self-harm now, we don't have a sacrificial knife!"

The pastor asked this question.

"It's not that simple. Look, there are human bones everywhere on the ground. Isn't it just a matter of picking up a piece and polishing it a little?"

The high school student picked up a thigh bone from the ground, bent it hard, broke it into two pieces with sharp fractures, and threw half to the pastor.

The latter took it, looked at the bones, then looked at the high school student, then shrugged self-deprecatingly, thinking that he was indeed slow-witted and hadn't even thought of this.

The captain on the side saw this scene, but he was not angry because they took part of the "sacred altar" at will.

In fact, the bone knife in his hand is actually made of the bones on the ground as raw materials, so no one should blame anyone else.

"Alright, time is running out. While the fog obscures their vision, we should go give them the Arctic's 'blessing'!"

As he spoke, the captain slashed his palm again, and a beast-like howl could be heard faintly echoing in the air.

Then, he grabbed the doctor, took a step forward, and walked into the spiritual world. In this immaterial world, he rushed towards Yi Shen and others at a speed far exceeding that of the outside world.

Seeing this, the pastor and the high school student also used [Spiritual Walking] and followed closely.

After entering the spiritual world, the two felt a clear difference.

The discomfort that had made them dizzy and difficult to bear both mentally and physically disappeared.

Instead, there is a feeling of smoothness, like a fish in water.

The ground rapidly receded beneath their feet. Rocks and icebergs could no longer block their vision. A sense of infinite freedom and joy surged into their hearts.

This is what it feels like to truly possess extraordinary powers!

Evolution Game, what a great place!

……

On the other side, Yi Shen and his companions who were on their way stopped immediately when they saw the sudden fog rising around them.

"Why is it foggy all of a sudden? I can hardly see the road now!"

The bearded man complained.

"The weather in the Arctic is unpredictable. It's not surprising that a snowstorm can come at any time. It's just foggy, which is normal!"

The cowboy beside him waved his hand and said.

"No, this fog isn't normal!"

Yi Shen spoke at this time:

"I can sense that there are traces of supernatural power in this fog. This isn't a normal weather change, but rather someone deliberately casting a spell!"

Yes, in Yi Shen’s elemental vision, he could clearly see the traces of special energy mixed in the mist.

Although its amount in the fog was very small, just a little bit, but combined with the huge fog covering the entire ice field, it was enough to form a striking "dark red" color, making the fog look particularly strange and dangerous in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he immediately put on the Five Visions All-Powerful Gloves, activating his farsightedness and perspective vision, and only then was he able to barely regain his vision.

When the others heard what he said, they immediately became alert. Assassin immediately eliminated her presence, making her "disappear" in everyone's sight.

Everyone moved cautiously in the fog, and no one dared to stay too far away from others.

After a while, a faint "clicking" sound was heard in the air.

"Be careful, a large number of enemies are coming from the right!"

Yi Shen saw dozens of human figures in the fog running towards the crowd on all fours.

It certainly wouldn't be the captain, the doctor, the pastor, or the high school student.

Are they... corpses?

Yi Shen could see through his Five Visions that these humanoid figures had defects of varying sizes on their bodies, revealing dried-up and rotten muscles and internal organs. They were obviously zombies or something like that.

He immediately informed everyone of the enemy's intelligence.

"It's a corpse ghost!"

Just by hearing the description, the chef recognized them and said immediately:

"This is an undead creature summoned by evil magic. It lacks the vital points of ordinary humans. Only by completely destroying its head can it be eliminated!"

"I see, starting first, right? I'm familiar with this!"

The cowboy nodded, drew out his two guns and pointed them to the right side of the team, while the girl with him drew her sword to protect him to prevent the enemy from getting close to him.

The bearded man used his Golden Bell Cover, and his skin turned golden. In this state, even if he ran into a group of zombies and walked around for a few rounds, he would not get a scratch. It should be more than enough to deal with a few zombies.

Only the chef, although he was an "expert" in dealing with cultists, did not have as many fancy tricks as the players in terms of combat. He simply drew out his boning knife, while holding the flintlock in the other hand, using all his five senses to capture the movements in the fog.

Chapter 56: Equipotential Fields, Simple Physics

"coming!"

As the only one who can see through the fog, Yi Shen now takes on the responsibility of "eyes".

He took the first step, and a bolt of lightning struck out, killing the first few zombies and also pointing out the enemy's location to everyone.

Thunderbolt flashed by, and the fog along the way dissipated a little in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone finally saw where the zombies were.

Bang!

The cowboy opened fire immediately.

Even though there was thick fog, he was so accurate with his marksmanship that he still managed to shoot a zombie in the head with one shot, blowing it up directly.

Then he kept pulling the trigger, and in just a few seconds he fired all the bullets in the magazine, accurately killing the other eleven zombies.

But corpses are not living creatures and do not have any fear. Even if more than a dozen of their kind died in an instant, the remaining ones still rushed towards everyone without stopping.

After the cowboy ran out of bullets, he had to reload.

Even with his superb skills, it only took him a few seconds to replace the bullets in the two guns, but at this distance, just these few seconds were enough for these zombies to get close to everyone.

However, at this moment, the girl next to him showed her power.

The girl with the katana leaned forward slightly, as if to draw her sword and chop. Then, in the next moment, her figure instantly turned into an afterimage, and rays of sword light danced back and forth. Almost in an instant, she beheaded all the zombies that came close to her, and not a single one could get close to the cowboy.

After circling the cowboy and killing him, she returned to his side and sheathed her knife with a "swish", as if she was regulating her breathing.

But she was not worried about her own safety at all, because at this time the cowboy had already changed the bullets and fired again with both guns, killing another wave of zombies that rushed over.

When the bullets were used up, the girl on the other side had rested again, and the sword was swung again. No zombie could get past the line.

The perfect cooperation between the two men left the bearded man and the chef at the back stunned.

They didn't even have a chance to take action, and this large group of zombies was about to be killed by the two of them.

"That's it?"

The bearded man complained subconsciously, thinking that the enemy was underestimating them by using this level of attack.

However, in the next second——

"careful!"

A bolt of lightning shot out and hit the chef a few feet behind him.

A figure that just emerged from the air was hit by thunder before it could launch an attack.

Crackling!

Branch-like arcs of electricity spread outward. The chef, who subconsciously rolled to dodge, only felt a tingling sensation on his body surface and was almost hit by the aftermath of the lightning.

He raised his head and saw the figure of the priest appear behind where he had just stood. His body was wrapped in tiny arcs of electricity, but there was always an invisible barrier between them, and he could not be really touched.

"What a risk!"

The pastor looked at the dissipated lightning and felt a little scared.

Fortunately, before leaving the spirit world, he summoned an invisible servant and set up a protective force field around himself, otherwise, this one blow would have been enough to take away half his life!

He looked at the chef who was nearby, and then at Yi Shen who had gathered thunder in his hand again. He quickly activated [Spiritual Walking] again and escaped into the void. Although the invisible servant could be used as a protective force field, this was not its true use after all. Once it suffered too many attacks, not only would the force field be shattered, but the servant might also go out of control and retaliate, endangering the summoner.

For a believer in evil gods like him, the safest place is indeed in the spiritual world.

As soon as he stepped back, he looked at his "companions" around him, or more precisely, at the captain who was vaguely the leader of the four, and said:

"You saw it too. The one who used the thunderbolt had such a quick reaction and his attacks were so powerful that it was difficult for us to kill the others under his nose."

"...This guy is really tricky. Leave him to me, and you guys deal with the others!"

The captain said so.

……

On the other side, after Yi Shen repelled the priest, everyone immediately realized that these zombies were just a cover to attract attention, and the real enemy was the captain and others!

"Everyone come to me!"

Yi Shen shouted.

Although everyone did not understand what he meant, they all obeyed and immediately gathered around him.

Immediately afterwards, flashes of lightning appeared around Yi Shen, and a huge lightning barrier was erected with him as the center, covering everyone underneath.

"Is this... a shield skill?"

Several players looked at the thunder shield surrounding them with surprised expressions.

Although each of them has unique skills, this kind of true magic has never been seen before.

"Stand still and don't touch the shield."

Yi Shen gave an order, and a flash of lightning appeared under his feet. The invisible electric field swept across everyone, making them feel their bodies numb for a moment.

At this moment, the void behind Yi Shen fluctuated slightly, and the captain's figure emerged from the air - for people walking in the spiritual world, the shield that can only exist in the material world is no different from air and cannot stop him at all!

The captain held a bone knife in his hand, and the blade flashed with an ominous bloody light.

This is the cursed power from the evil god. In front of this blade, no matter how strong the defense is, it will be easily penetrated, and the wound caused will bleed profusely and cannot be healed.

However, the moment he appeared, before he could even raise his hand to draw his sword, bolts of lightning rose from the thunder shield surrounding him, crashing down with lightning speed, hitting the captain's position.

This attack was many times stronger than the lightning strike that had just been used to rescue the chef. The invisible servant force field surrounding the captain was broken almost instantly.

His face changed drastically and he immediately fled back to the spirit world. However, no matter how fast the thunder was, he was still hit by the violent lightning even in a split second. When he returned to the spirit world, large areas of his flesh had been burnt by electricity. If it weren't for his vitality being much stronger than that of ordinary people after many blood sacrifices, he would probably have died from this blow!

The few people nearby who were about to attack him immediately after he succeeded, their expressions changed when they saw this, and they quickly stopped what they were doing.

What's wrong with this guy? He's already attacked right in his blind spot, yet he still reacts so quickly?

In fact, the people outside were no less surprised than they were.

The thunder and lightning that just erupted could be said to have flashed past their bodies, but the amazing thing was that none of them were actually hurt by the thunder, as if the lightning had self-awareness and deliberately avoided them.

Is this magic? It's amazing!

Only Yi Shen knew that this was not some magical spell, but just the application of the simplest electromagnetic principles.

In fact, after he knew the nature of walking in the spiritual world, he had already anticipated that his electromagnetic shield would not be able to prevent the enemy from entering. Therefore, his shield was not actually used to defend against external enemies, but was an internal trap!

The key lies in the small action he makes after applying the shield.

The electric field that swept across everyone actually constructed an equipotential field inside the shield. When an outsider stepped in, the different potentials on their bodies would cause thunder to respond, just like thunder attracted by a lightning rod, automatically bombarding the target.

As for other people inside the shield, since their body electrical potential is the same as that of the thunder shield, they will not be hit by the thunder, and it may even appear that the thunder is deliberately avoiding them.

Simple physics, that's all.

Chapter 57: Servant Backlash, Change of Strategy

In the spiritual world, the captain who was struck by thunder struggled to get up from the ground.

During this process, the skin and flesh on his body that were burnt by electricity fell off, revealing the bright red flesh behind.

It was visible to the naked eye that new muscles and skin were growing little by little. Although it was not as fast as Yi Shen's regeneration speed, which was comparable to Wolverine's, it would not take many minutes to restore to its original state.

However, physical injuries were only a minor matter. The real trouble for the captain was his invisible servant that had just been destroyed.

The onlookers could see that on the captain's shadow cast on the ground, there was an amorphous shadow like a tentacle monster entangled on it, and it was tearing and devouring the former with its tentacles with bloody mouths opened wide.
