Just as the two City Defense Army members were talking, the ghost had already arrived at the city wall.
It pressed its body tightly against the wall and then slowly drifted toward the top of the wall.
Its movement was not fast and completely silent, even the Guardian Beasts on top of the wall did not notice it.
Soon it arrived near the wall top, its figure blurred and its speed suddenly increased, appearing on the wall top in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the City Defense Army only realized when the ghost appeared.
Just as they were about to launch an attack, the ghost suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a sharp scream spread in all directions.
Everyone felt a piercing pain from their souls, and some of the lower Realm City Defense Army members fainted directly.
Captain Li quickly channeled Soul Power to resist, then swiftly issued battle instructions: "Everyone be aware, this is a Ghost Shadow Soul, an Undead Star Beast, ordinary attacks can't harm it, you must use Skills to attack it."
As his words fell, everyone immediately commanded their Guardian Beasts to start attacking.
Seeing the people who could still resist, the Ghost Shadow Soul frowned with displeasure, then waved its hand in the air towards the unconscious soldiers.
Shadows drifted out from those soldiers, struggling madly, wanting to return to their bodies, but they seemed to be bound, drifting straight toward the Ghost Shadow Soul.
Seeing this, Captain Li was furious, clearly understanding that these shadows were the souls of his subordinates, if the souls were devoured, his subordinates would be doomed.
He quickly patted the white Unicorn at his side and said: "Use Holy Light Slash."
The Unicorn let out a neigh, gathering a dense Light Element rapidly in front of it, condensing a platinum-colored Light Saber in a blink of an eye.
Perceiving the dense Light Element within the Light Saber, the Ghost Shadow Soul's expression changed, immediately abandoning the souls, dodging to the side.
The Ghost Shadow Soul is an Undead Star Beast, and the Light Element naturally suppresses it.
If hit by the Light Saber, it would definitely be severely damaged even if it didn't die.
Without the binding of the Ghost Shadow Soul, the soldiers' souls immediately returned to their bodies.
"Ah."
The originally unconscious City Defense Army members gradually awoke, holding their heads and groaning in pain.
At this time, the beast herd hiding not far away, upon hearing the Ghost Shadow Soul's call, rushed towards it.
The Ghost Shadow Soul moved extremely fast, and it could float mid-air, making it difficult for people to threaten it with attacks.
"Captain Li, how did this ghost suddenly appear here?"
"I'm not sure, but with such a rare Star Beast appearing, it probably isn't simple."
"Captain Li, look over there." The young man pointed citywards, speaking with shock.
Hearing this, Captain Li quickly looked in the direction the young man pointed.
Thousands of Star Beasts were rushing toward them from not far away.
"Everyone attack the beast herd, leave the Ghost Shadow Soul to me," said Captain Li urgently.
The others were shocked upon hearing this, wasting no time they immediately prepared for battle on the wall top.
The Ghost Shadow Soul was infuriated seeing this, knowing its purpose was to hold up these City Defense Army members, and it would not let them escape easily.
Opening its mouth again, it let out another sharp scream.
This time, everyone was prepared and quickly channeled Soul Power to resist, yet the opponent was too strong, dispelling the gathered Soul Power instantly.
The City Defense Army wailed in pain, clutching their heads.
The beast herd had now arrived at the city, but they didn't climb the wall; instead, they attacked the sewage outlet.
The outlet is just a meter-wide diameter pipe, far too small for the Star Beasts' size, and it was specially reinforced, so ordinary Star Beasts could not break it open.
At this moment, Chu Chen had already reached the sewer outlet.
During their journey, they had encountered several battles, against opponents that were all Human-faced Poison Spiders.
Nirvana had been exceedingly mighty this way, quick to kill the Human-faced Poison Spiders through a tactic of trading injury for injury, raising its aura to Third Rank Commander Level, and due to the prolonged combat, its Life Force consumption wasn't high, with Chu Chen's Wind of Recovery, Nirvana still had over seventy percent of its Life Force remaining.
Lei Yao, on the other hand, was quite frustrated, as throughout the battles Chu Chen had constantly reassured it, without revealing any of his trump cards.
Not long after, Zhang Yuyan and Ji Mingyue also led their teams over.
Although compared with Chu Chen's team of five, the states of these two groups were not very good, clearly having consumed a lot along the way.
The groups gathered and discussed the Star Beasts they encountered, finding them to be largely similar, just differing in numbers.
As for Chu Chen's doubts, Ji Mingyue provided an explanation.
These Star Beasts residing in the sewer are known by the City Lord's Mansion, existing in a state of captivity.
The City Lord's Mansion regularly sends people to check on them, and if their numbers increase, they will arrange for people to clean them up.
But a complete extermination like this is the first time.
Since these Star Beasts are considered property of the City Lord's Mansion and generate a significant annual income, maintaining an entire ecosystem here.
Human food scraps are consumed by Long-tailed Water Jet Rats, who are eaten by the Human-faced Poison Spiders and Mud Swamp Pythons.
The materials from the latter two become revenue for the City Lord's Mansion.
It must be said that Wang Haichuan is quite the talent, utilizing even the Star Beasts to their fullest, extracting maximum value from them.
At this moment, the Communication Bracelet received a distress call from Qian Jiadong and three others.
"We've encountered Human-faced Poison Spiders here, they're too powerful, we're unable to deal with them and request support."
"We've encountered Mud Swamp Pythons here, too many for us to handle."
"My situation doesn't look good either, advancing further is likely impossible to handle."
Moments later, Sun Ming's voice came through the Communication Bracelet.
"What are the conditions of the other three groups?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen and the others exchanged glances, then reported each group's situation.
"Alright, go assist them; the sewer's outlet is guarded by the City Defense Army, we need not worry about it."
Just as Sun Ming finished speaking, a loud noise erupted from the sewer's outlet location.
Hearing the noise, everyone quickly looked towards the outlet, seeing a crack appearing, and the attack hadn't stopped, the cracks at the outlet increasing, likely to break soon.
"What's that noise?" Sun Ming asked in a deep voice.
"The sewer's outlet location is being attacked," Chu Chen said rapidly.
"Not good, retreat quickly, I'll contact the school," Sun Ming instructed.
Upon hearing Sun Ming, their expressions changed, wasting no time, they quickly rushed back the way they came.
