Healing spells copy everything, I've cleared the Abyss

Chapter 248 Split into Two Groups
"If we want a quick victory, we need to expand the area we're marching on..."

Lin Ye's mind was racing.

The inability to use his own abilities is indeed a significant limitation for Lin Ye, and at the very least, his army will suffer some damage.

This is less about keeping everyone on the same level and more about limiting Lin Ye's healing abilities.

With Lin Ye's healing abilities, he can turn low-level troops into mid-level or even high-level troops in no time.

If Lin Ye were to exchange for some more troops with relatively high combat power, then probably no one would be able to defeat him.

However, in order to allow people to use the relic as a prop, the rules have relaxed the restrictions on the use of items.

However, when one cannot take action, many items become ineffective.

For example, items that can temporarily enhance a user's combat power are completely meaningless in this game.

Since you can't make a move anyway, what difference does your combat strength make?
There are indeed not many objects that can play a role in this area.

But Lin Ye did indeed have something on hand that could come in handy...

"Shadow Orb".

Lin Ye took out a smooth, black bead.

This is the Shadow Demon God's most precious treasure that he obtained in the Lost Shadow Forest.

It allows the user's shadow to detach and act independently.

In this game, the Shadow Orb is not only usable, but it can also play a very good role!
A glint of light flashed across the jet-black jewel.

Lin Ye's shadow twisted on the ground and quickly transformed into a figure that was indistinguishable from his own.

From behind, the two are virtually indistinguishable.

"Wait a minute, I'll assemble an army for you."

Lin Ye was too lazy to exchange for more experience points, so he simply used the experience points he had harvested from Zhong Ziyu to build an army for his shadow clone at a 1:1 ratio.

To be honest, Zhong Ziyu was just unlucky to have met him.

If they were to encounter other people, given the size of Zhong Ziyu's army, they might not be able to completely overwhelm them, but they could certainly easily crush their opponents.

Now, besides those who were killed by Lin Ye, some of his troops were brought under Lin Ye's command after his defeat and surrender.

These remnants, along with a portion of Lin Yexin's newly acquired forces, formed a completely identical army to the one led by Zhong Ziyu.

In addition, Lin Ye also equipped Shadow with some Swift Falcons for reconnaissance.

Thanks to Shadow's stats being almost identical to Forest Wilderness's, Shadow also possesses the talent of 'wide-area casting'. Under Shadow's control, Swift Falcon's detection range can be increased tenfold.

In addition, Lin Ye can remotely control the movements of his shadow clones continuously, thereby indirectly controlling the army.

All these factors combined suggest that the army led by Lin Ye's shadow clone is more agile in action than most players.

This is the benefit of a strategic vision.

"You lead this army and march in this direction!"

Lin Ye quickly issued the order.

Upon receiving the order, the shadow clone acted swiftly, leading the army assigned to him by Lin Ye in another direction.

Watching the army of shadow clones leave, Lin Ye turned around and led his own army away in his own direction.

Besides that, Lin Ye didn't have any better way to broaden his search scope.

However, the existence of the shadow clones gave Lin Ye another option. Most importantly, if he encountered any weaker armies along the way, the shadow clones could simply annihilate them.

This can save Lin Ye a lot of time and effort.

Only under such circumstances is it possible to achieve a truly swift victory.

Over the next few hours of marching, Lin Ye encountered three groups of players' armies.

These players were clearly less skilled than Zhong Ziyu, the first person Lin Ye encountered.

One of them didn't even notice until Lin Ye's army was within a hundred meters of him.

As a result, Lin Ye easily reaped the rewards.

There was another person who, upon seeing that it was Lin Ye's army, immediately chose to surrender without hesitation.

They didn't even want to fight, and simply handed over their army.

All I can say is that the name Lin Ye puts immense pressure on these players...

If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't quit the game at the start, many people would probably have quit as soon as they saw Lin Ye playing the same game as them.

It wouldn't have dragged on until now in the first place.

There's no way around it; most people have already lost the will to fight when faced with such a legendary figure.

There are indeed not many people like Zhong Ziyu who, knowing that their opponent's strength far surpasses their own, can still muster their fighting spirit and fight to the death.

As for the shadow clones, they encountered even more opponents than Lin Ye.

Throughout the entire process, he encountered a total of five opponents!

Although the army of shadow clones is not as powerful as the army directly commanded by Lin Ye, it is still an absolutely strong force compared to other players.

In addition, with its extremely long reconnaissance range, five opponents in a row were directly annihilated by Lin Ye's shadow clones through surprise attacks.

After the shadow clone took over the remaining troops of these five people, the army he led also expanded considerably.

Although these soldiers are diverse and varied, those who can survive an assault are still stronger in combat than the basic soldiers.

Therefore, their addition has significantly boosted the combat power of the shadow clones.

"These people are probably not the number one player."

Lin Ye stopped, intending to rest for a bit, eat something and drink some water.

As for the soldiers, they don't need to rest.

Throughout this series of encounters, Lin Ye, including his shadow clone, did not face Player Number One.

According to Lin Ye's judgment, Player Number One must be the one who colluded with Gongsun to deal with him.

However, Lin Ye never encountered him.

Just then, Lin Ye suddenly looked up and received a warning from his shadow clone.

"Someone actually detected the movements on the Shadow's side beforehand?"

Lin Ye was somewhat surprised.

How could someone detect him before he was detected, given that his shadow clone has a detection range ten times greater than his own?
Lin Ye realized that Player Number One had finally appeared!
