These mummies were indistinguishable from their original appearances, all bound in bandages, emanating an extremely chilling aura. Unlike dried corpses or even Eastern zombies, they moved with surprising speed, displaying a swift and agile movement. Some were empty-handed, possessing only sharp fingers, while others held weapons. Among these weapons were bone knives and spears.

There are also bone shields, bone swords, and the like.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Gathered together, the number of these mummies quickly reached several hundred, and it was still increasing.

"Everyone, in the Ruins of Return, under the Moon of Calamity, every life will face the hunting of calamity beasts and calamity soldiers. We have no way out and no choice. Only by killing the calamity beasts in front of us can we survive tonight and see tomorrow."

Liang Hongguang shouted, addressing the newly arrived survivors at the hotel.

As long as you have courage and abandon your fear, your fighting power here is absolutely considerable.

“We’ve never encountered such a large number before; these are all heading towards thousands.”

Liu San murmured to himself.

"How many disaster soldiers have you encountered before?"

Ji Tianhao asked, keenly sensing that the number of disaster soldiers was definitely not random and must be closely related to certain factors.

“We used to have only about sixty or seventy people in our camp. When we lost a lot of people, we didn’t even have fifty. Every night, we didn’t face too many disaster soldiers. Most of the time, it was only a few dozen or a hundred. After killing a batch, the special aura formed would envelop the camp, allowing us to get through the night peacefully. Often, the more people there were in the camp, the more disaster soldiers we would face. If there were fewer people, we would face fewer disaster soldiers. So, there’s a saying in Guixu.”

"Without sufficient strength, it's best not to let a team reach too high a number. Otherwise, you might encounter a crisis that you can't handle at any time. Many homeless camps, under certain circumstances, will not easily increase the number of homeless people in the camp. They want to ensure that the danger is kept within a certain range."

"This time, the team has reached several hundred people, which is a frightening number. Before, with the Guardian Lantern, we could handle most dangers, but now, there are too many of them, and even the Guardian Lantern can't keep them in check. This time, the number of mummies is more than a thousand."

Liu San said with a solemn expression.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow.

This is the first time I've ever seen such a spectacle.

"Does the number determine the scale of the invasion by the disaster soldiers? It seems that there is a special law operating in this Ruins of Return, and it is not chaotic."

Su Yue murmured thoughtfully.

"Don't worry about that now. These mummies won't stop just because of the Lantern of Righteousness. The attack is about to begin."

Ji Tianhao surveyed the mummies around him. He had to admit, the sheer number was astonishing. Everywhere he looked outside the camp, there were mummies, some enormous, some wielding peculiar scepters. The surrounding mummies seemed to hold them in a strange awe.

Undoubtedly, he possessed a natural command over other mummies.

Gaa gaa gaa!!

The mummy pharaoh waved his scepter, and instantly, all the mummies surrounding the camp simultaneously launched an attack. Some mummies were incredibly fast, moving like cheetahs, rushing into the camp and immediately exposed to the light of the guardian lanterns. The light fell on them, and their bodies made strange hissing sounds as their bandages began to rip.

His aura was clearly suppressed.

At least 30% of its strength was suppressed; in fact, its body began to ignite, sparks flying from its bandages before it was instantly engulfed in flames. From those flames emanated a powerful and righteous aura, deeply shocking everyone present. Soon, the mummy was reduced to ashes.

However, one can see that the light emanating from the Guixu coin inside the Shouzheng lantern suddenly dimmed.

The process of directly suppressing external enemies using the Guardian Lantern consumes significantly more energy than before.

"We can't directly consume large amounts of energy. The Guardian Lantern can only absorb one Guixu Coin per day. If it continues to absorb more, it will put pressure on the lantern. If we want to continue using it, we can only rely on my Qi and blood to drive it. Energy is precious, so we should focus on suppression."

Upon witnessing this, Liang Hongguang quickly made arrangements.

Directly killing them might seem satisfying, but compared to the amount of energy consumed, it's clearly not a good idea.

There were too many mummies before them. The lanterns could only suppress one or two, or even ten, but not thousands. Instead, turning the light into a means of suppression, curbing the mummy soldiers' power, could reduce their fighting strength by nearly 30%. This shift in power would maximize their advantage. *Whoosh!*

With a thought, the many mummies under the light were no longer set on fire on the spot, but their fighting power was suppressed.

"kill!!"

Pang Yan took the lead, carrying two watermelon hammers. With a swing of her arms, which were thicker than a normal person's thigh, she smashed one of the hammers into a mummy. With a crack, the mummy's head was smashed into pieces and exploded on the spot.

Others also began to take action.

These mummies were suppressed. Under the protection of the Guardian Lantern, even ordinary people who had not yet activated their life force field could cut through the mummies' defenses and break through the force field by wielding weapons. It was as if each strike could be given a special characteristic by the Guardian Lantern, which could break through the gap in life level.

It's clear that many of them are seasoned veterans, fearless in battle, and ruthless and decisive in their attacks, aiming for vital points.

"kill!!"

Cai Honglong's side was equally determined. After discovering the miraculous effect of the Guardian Lantern, they immediately began to cooperate with each other, with the riot shield in front and two people behind, one holding a riot fork and the other holding a simple spear.

The riot shield blocked the mummy's attack, and the riot fork immediately pierced through, naturally restraining the target's body. Then, the mummy was easily killed by a spear hitting its head.

Most mummies are only in the stage of activating their life force field and have not yet reached the level of condensing magic runes. After the gap in life force field is leveled out, they are not invincible in battle. On the contrary, if they are prepared, a three-on-three combination can not only resist but also kill them.

However, there were too many mummies. As soon as the invasion began, quite a few mummies appeared on Ji Tianhao's side.

A dozen or so mummies lunged at them.

"Dragon Lord, suppress them! Kill them!!"

Ji Tianhao's expression remained normal. Without further hesitation, as the mummies approached, an invisible force appeared out of thin air, instantly pressing several mummies that had leaped up from a distance and were rushing towards him down to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he was struck on the body by a huge, sharp claw.

Snapped! !

The already dry body was instantly shattered into pieces by a tremendous force. The fragments were no different from dried meat jerky, and the sight was quite shocking.

More spikes emerged, striking the mummy's body precisely, piercing its head, and killing it instantly.

One after another, iron bullets flew through the air, and as soon as they hit a head, the head immediately exploded.

Hu Youni suddenly had a custom-made black pistol in her hand, adorned with a beautiful violet.

boom!boom!boom! !

With each pull of the trigger, gunshots rang out, and heads were struck by bullets, exploding on the spot.

Not only her, but many survivors suddenly pulled out guns, and bullets hit their targets precisely.

Clearly, these people using firearms are seasoned veterans, marksmen honed through years of experience with firearms.

Experienced and ruthless.

Before drawing their weapons, they were completely inconspicuous among the survivors.

"This is a master who originally came for me; he can no longer hide his true intentions."

Ji Tianhao's eyes flashed like lightning as he memorized the names of those who had suddenly displayed astonishing marksmanship. How could he not know that these were the assassins and bounty hunters who had been targeting him on the dark web?
