You call this a healer?

Chapter 74, Battle 1: Annihilation of Team 5

"Squeak, squeak..."

The car wandered through the vast wilderness for two hours, the scenery outside the window varied and complex, sometimes showing rivers and forests, sometimes the ruins of old buildings.

Occasionally, one can also see "mysteries" and human remains.

At this moment, Ling Shuang held the "search device," looking at the topographical map for navigation, and said, "This is Fufeng Town from the old days. It's still seven or eight li away from Qianyu Mountain Yuan Refinery. We should arrive in about ten minutes!"

A group of drowsy people in the carriage instantly woke up.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Check your weapons and energy-replenishing pills, just in case!"

Just then, there was a sudden slam on the brakes.

Zhou Ming looked towards the driver's seat and saw Liang Bucheng turn around, his expression changed, and say, "Something's wrong, the tire has a nail, and the road ahead is blocked!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a chilling aura enveloped him from all directions.

Ling Shuang, Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, and their group looked serious.

"The people from Yuan Refining have arrived."

Looking out the car window, Zhou Ming saw that the road ahead was blocked by a huge pile of broken walls, rusted iron, and trees. The marks were fresh, suggesting that it was done recently.

On both sides were messy old-fashioned dilapidated walls and rivers, making it impossible for cars to pass.

There was complete silence on all sides, but it was clear that someone had locked onto them.

Ling Shuang lowered her voice: "Zhou Ming, Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, and I will take action. The rest of you should get out of the car or hide depending on the situation. Make sure you are safe!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then, a pile of wild chestnuts suddenly fell around the car. These are the only crop seeds used to make noodles, and they are very expensive.

Ye Chen whispered, "Fisherman!"

Sure enough, the next moment, a sharp, cold voice came from an unknown direction: "We'd rather use bait than go home empty-handed!"

Zhou Ming immediately shouted, "Everyone, get out of the car and get away!"

Everyone reacted quickly and jumped out of the car.

Almost as soon as everyone landed, the seeds suddenly exploded, and a large net appeared out of thin air above the car. It scooped up the entire car and flung it into the air, where it landed in the ruins of an old building in the distance with a loud bang, deformed!

"Judging from his aura and combat skills, he is a level four 'Fishing Master'."

Bai Muwan said in a deep voice, "According to the data, there is only one Level 4 'Fishing Master' in Yuan Refining, the captain of the fifth squad, Zhang Xi'er!"

Zhou Ming and Ling Shuang exchanged a glance, greatly surprised. Why were they the first to make a move?

The five strongest teams in Yuan Refining, the first team captain Jin Wuzhu, the second team captain Su Bushu, and the third team captain Song Zhi, all theoretically have a grudge against Zhou Ming!

They are the ones who should be taking action!

"They've decoupled!"

That shrill voice came again from afar.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure appear in the ruins not far away. He was wearing a red raincoat and leather boots, holding a net in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right. He was fat and bloated.

As she appeared, four other figures emerged from the surrounding area.

A short, slender woman with a red scarf covering her eyes.

A blond-haired youth with a sleazy air, carrying two curved swords.

A middle-aged man wearing a robe embroidered with flames.

The last one was an old man carrying a wooden stake.

Ling Shuang glanced around and said, "Judging from their professional characteristics, aura, and information, these five people are: a level four fisherman, a level three 'blind man,' a level three metal-type assassin, a level three fire-type 'mage,' and a level three wood-type 'poisoner.'"

Zhou Ming frowned: "So many strange professions?"

Ma Kun and the others were a little nervous: "What should we do?"

Ling Shuang said, "Zhou Ming, you protect them. Be careful of the 'blind man' and the 'poisoner.' I'll kill one first!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than...

Suddenly, everything went black before everyone's eyes, and they could see nothing.

Then I smelled a pungent odor and my head started to feel dizzy.

Zhou Ming frowned and immediately cast [Protective Shield] to defend himself.

A slender figure approached from behind; it was Ling Shuang. She calmly called out, "Don't panic! It's the 'Blind Man' Order's combat technique 'Blindness' and the 'Poisoner's' willow poison!"

"The 'Blinding' spell only lasts for three seconds, and Zhou Ming has already dispelled the 'Willow Poison.' It will take them at least seven seconds to get close, so we have four seconds to prepare!"

as predicted,

The next moment, vision suddenly returned.

Lin Ya, Zhong Xiu, and their three roommates, who were only at the first level of cultivation, were already poisoned and collapsed to the ground.

Ling Shuang was mostly unharmed, while Ye Chen and Bai Muwan struggled desperately.

The five people in the distance had already approached, and were less than ten meters away.

Zhou Ming acted with lightning speed, unleashing four streams of green healing energy that enveloped himself, Ling Shuang, Ye Chen, and Bai Muwan, thus curing the willow poison.

Next, cast the [Protective Shield] on the weakest Ye Chen and Bai Muwan first, then on Ling Shuang, to ensure their safety!

All of this was accomplished in a very short time.

Then, without hesitation, he swung his hand and struck the old "poisoner" carrying the wooden stake, instantly paralyzing him.

He himself rushed toward the "blind" professional woman who was wearing a blindfold.

Midway through, someone shouted, "Kill!"

Ling Shuang and her two companions attacked the assassin, the fire mage, and the "fisherman" respectively.

At this moment, Zhou Ming had approached the "blind man," whose ears twitched slightly, sensing his location.

Suddenly, a bow and arrow appeared in his hand. He quickly nocked the arrow and fired, shouting, "Night has fallen, the arrow flies like a shooting star!"

Zhou Ming's vision went black again, and he could see nothing. He only heard a whooshing sound as it rapidly approached!

He chuckled softly, "You'd better not treat this like a game!"

He let the arrows hit him, but was instead bounced away by the [Protective Shield].

From the darkness diagonally opposite, a muffled groan, bounced off, came from the darkness.

He immediately waved his left hand, and the "scalpel" combination flew away.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

"ah--"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out, and the "darkness" vanished.

The "blind" woman in front of them was in a terrible state, her body torn to pieces.

Zhou Ming extended his right hand and hissed!

[Realm Value +0.5%]

[Non-attribute Strength +0.4]

[Darkness Obscures Visibility +0.5%]

A Level 3 Order Being can only absorb a pitifully small amount of power; just how weak is their physique?

Ignoring the woman's corpse, he estimated the time, re-enhanced the protective shields on Ling Shuang and the other two, and then headed straight for the old "poisoner" who was paralyzed by the Healing Dragon Vine.

The old man possessed incredible vitality. Although he was tightly bound by vines and pierced by numerous poisonous thorns, he seemed to have some resistance to paralysis or the poison itself. Only half of his body was paralyzed, yet he continued to struggle frantically, roaring as he struggled:

"Captain, this is bad! This healer is even more terrifying than we imagined!"

In the distance, the "fisherman" was being attacked by Ling Shuang, who was wrapped in a protective shield. He was too busy to reply!

Zhou Ming looked at the old man: "Alright, let's get going!"

With a gentle wave of the hand, the "surgical scalpel" combination slices away with a mysterious and sharp angle.

"Puff puff puff—"

The old man, the "poisoner," had nowhere to hide and frantically begged for mercy: "Lord Zhou Ming, I'm sorry, please spare me..."

That's too late!

A moment later, only a pile of rotting corpses remained on the spot.

As expected, they knew me...

Zhou Ming extended his hand:

[Realm Value +0.6%]

[Non-attribute Strength +0.7]
