These locations were naturally impossible to discover with investigative methods.
"One, two, three, four. There are a total of four locations with Gu worms hidden, but they are all Mortal Gu. They're hidden so ingeniously that even my Immortal-level Star Dao investigation killer move can't detect them."
Having learned from the last time, Fang Yuan did not immediately strike out and destroy all these Mortal Gu.
He held back, continuing to observe and calculate.
"That was close!" Soon, he sighed to himself, having found a dangerous spot.
The Mortal Gu hidden in this place was at a relatively key location in the composition of the battlefield killer move.
When he initially calculated, Fang Yuan discovered that destroying this Gu would reduce the violent offensive of the Freezing Rain Snow Monsters by fifty to sixty percent.
However, after further calculations, Fang Yuan made another discovery: if he actually destroyed this Gu, it would be disastrous. This wave of the attack would indeed sharply decrease in power, but the next wave would come much sooner, and its power would increase nearly twofold!
In the current assault, Sha Mo and the others were already struggling to defend.
The continuous freezing rain caused no small amount of Immortal Essence consumption, giving the Immortal Zombies a massive headache.
Snow monsters over six zhangs tall appeared endlessly, leaving the Gu Immortals unable to let their guard down at all.
"If the assault's power doubles, snow monsters at the Ancient Desolate Beast level will probably appear!" Fang Yuan was secretly alarmed. The risk of dismantling the battlefield killer move was indeed very high. One slight mistake and he would shoot himself in the foot.
And this was just dismantling the Mortal Gu, which were on the outer layer of the entire combination. If he dealt with the inner Gu worms and his dismantling method was not good, he would also suffer a powerful backlash!
Fang Yuan bypassed this critical location and continued probing other positions.
Time passed quickly, and Fang Yuan made no progress for a long time.
"This is already the fourth assault. Sigh… how much longer do we have to hold out?" one of the Immortal Zombie members sighed. The total amount of Immortal Essence he had consumed so far during this expedition pained him.
"In this situation, what's the use of spending even more Immortal Essence if there are no signs of improvement?" Bu Dan said pointedly.
Sha Mo and the others were all a little restless and turned their attention to Fang Yuan.
This was their first time meeting Star Constellation Immortal and they didn't know his wisdom path strength. Bu Dan was already ineffective. Was it reliable or not to hand the heavy responsibility of dismantling the battlefield killer move to this stranger they were meeting for the first time?
"Lord Star Constellation. From the very beginning until now, you have been using Mortal Dao methods to probe. Look, although the current situation isn't critical, it's still quite difficult. Why don't you use an Immortal-level Wisdom Path technique? Don't worry, according to the rules, your Immortal Essence consumption this time will be subsidized with a fixed amount of Immortal Essence Stones. You don't need to be afraid of losses," Bu Dan said again.
Fang Yuan frowned.
Bu Dan's intentions were sinister. He was provoking him time and time again.
Fang Yuan was well aware of the Immortal Zombies' predicament. Immortal Essence was hard to come by and always treasured.
Now, with significant losses and no progress, even Sha Mo was silent, Su Bai Man was serious, and the restlessness of the other Immortal Zombies was completely imaginable.
Fang Yuan understood Bu Dan's targeting of him. But understanding was one thing. This kind of provocation was like stabbing Fang Yuan in the back.
Immediately, Fang Yuan cast a deep glance at Bu Dan, then secretly manipulated the Passing Cup Gu to send a message to Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng immediately cooperated and spoke up: "What are you in such a hurry for, Bu Dan? Lord Sha Mo said to hold out through this assault and buy time for Star Constellation. This assault is only half over. Are you trying to flee before the battle? Or are you complaining that your contribution is too much?"
Bu Dan's face changed drastically. He cried out in grievance, "How would I dare, Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng has misunderstood me!"
He knew that Tai Bai Yun Sheng was Sha Mo's favored man. Anyone with eyes could tell from the gentle attitude Sha Mo showed towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Besides, Tai Bai Yun Sheng possessed an unusually precious Immortal Gu and was a healing expert. He definitely couldn't be offended.
"Alright, stop arguing." Sha Mo maintained the situation and glanced at Fang Yuan. "We've already been through three assaults. This fourth one isn't much worse."
Fang Yuan felt the weight of Sha Mo's look and his heart couldn't help but sink.
It seemed Sha Mo and his group weren't very optimistic about him either.
How could this be?
Fang Yuan deeply understood the importance of first impressions. He was relying on Sha Mo's side to let him join the Eastern Sea Immortal Zombie headquarters. If he failed on his first attempt here, he would leave a deep impression on Sha Mo, and things would be difficult in the future. Even if he showed his value later, it would be discounted in Sha Mo's heart. Conversely, if he succeeded this time, even if he failed somewhat in the future, Sha Mo would see it as understandable. Who never fails?
"Hearing the tone of Sha Mo's voice, it seems he doesn't want to linger here before the fifth assault arrives. After all, conquering this place also means considering cost. Very well!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.
He suddenly struck out, aiming for that Gu worm from before.
With a soft pop, the Gu worm shattered.
"Another Gu! Haha." Tai Bai Yun Sheng, cooperating perfectly, immediately laughed.
A faint look of surprise and joy couldn't help but appear on the faces of Sha Mo and the others, their morale rising slightly.
Bu Dan kept silent.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng, under Fang Yuan's direction, did not let him off: "How about it, Bu Dan? It doesn't matter whether the method is mortal or immortal, as long as it works."
Bu Dan nodded repeatedly, forcing a smile: "Lord Tai Bai Yun Sheng is right. I was too impatient earlier."
He thoroughly understood the principle of advance and retreat. Instead of stubbornly resisting, he backed down.
Clearly, this kind of despicable person was harder to deal with than someone who resisted stubbornly.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng continued: "You don't really understand, but my brother Star Constellation and I have known each other for a long time, and I know that his Wisdom Path methods are quite formidable."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng showed his loyalty in supporting his friend.
