"Chapter 323: Confronting the Skeleton Army"
γDing! Level 2 Arena, Bone Wilderness, the challenge begins! γ
Hearing this, I felt my body tremble directly. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info I remembered my previous tragic experience in the Goblin Arena and the anger I felt when I was ridiculed by those goblins, and I immediately pulled out the attachment on my waist and looked around vigilantly, keeping an eye out for possible movements.
My first target was the tombstones and the bones, because I thought that in this kind of graveyard-like terrain, the skeletons would probably break through the ground and then come up and surround me, and although they were not very strong, once they were sufficient, it would be a big problem, as our enemies had already tried for us. I suspected that the bones and tombstones had the effect of skeletal tombstones, so I gathered a fireball directly in my palm and planned to throw it.
But at that moment, I suddenly felt something hold on my ankle, and I was startled, and the fireball was thrown at my feet, and although the flames did not hurt me, they also washed me several meters away. When I stopped, I realized that I had an extra palm made of white bone on my ankle.
I broke out in a sweat and shook off the bone, then gathered the fireball again and threw it at my location.
When the two fireballs exploded one after the other, kicking up a cloud of dust on the sand, I found the unlucky guy who had just tried to attack me from the ground, he was splitting into two halves and carrying them differently, half of his body was flying in the sky, and the other half of his body was reduced to pieces on the ground, and on closer inspection, I could also find the arm bone that was missing a palm.
I was right, the other party was really removed from the underground, and it kept appearing throughout the arena!
Skeletons, skeletons everywhere!
The white bone arm continued to stick out from the ground, and the hollow eye sockets scanned everything around him. and the somewhat wooden but gentle and obedient skeleton soldiers who came out of the skeleton tombstones, these skeleton soldiers who crawled directly out of the arena had an extra ferocious and violent atmosphere. Their bones are a little stronger than the skeleton warriors I summoned with the Skeleton Legion, and they are estimated to be level 6 or higher. And what made me crystal now was that in the entire arena, more than 10,000 square meters of land, almost every layer of soil began to emerge with white bones. And the first thing these bone soldiers did after poking out their bodies was to pop their heads out of the ground and look around with that kind of crazy eyes, as if they were looking for something. At the place where the fireball exploded before, a dozen skeletons who had crawled out of the ground gathered there, as if searching for something among the bone fragments.
I looked at the skeleton soldiers who kept crawling out of the ground nearby, and I felt my scalp tingling, this is a real scalp tingling, between the dense white bone torso, even my current strength does not dare to act rashly. I reckon the skeletons are looking for me, and I'm looking for a moment to make my first attack work well enough. I began to slowly retreat, gripping the sword tightly in my hand, and began to gather a fireball in my palm.
Still, I underestimated the density of skeletons in the arena, and I only took three steps back before I stepped on it; The head of a skeleton had just emerged, and the skull of the skeleton made a loud noise under the trampling of my boots, and the skeleton I stepped on also used its own bones to vibrate to convey a message to all the skeletons in the vicinity, the news of their target.
At the same time, all the skeletons within a hundred meters turned me to my side, and the dark eye hole also seemed to find something, their movements began to become violent, and they began to struggle to pull the rest of their bodies out of the ground, and the skeleton soldiers a hundred meters away were also affected by them, and began to continuously transmit that information, and in just a few seconds, half of the skeleton soldiers in the arena had moved, and the direction and goal were the same.
The skeletons not far from me had come out of the soil, and they had pulled their iron swords out of the ground and launched a collective charge at me.
I immediately threw the fireball in my hand, and blew a dozen skeletons directly into bone slag. But this also intensified the activity speed of the skeleton troops, and before I could gather the third fireball, there were already about a hundred skeleton soldiers rushing towards me within a distance of dozens of meters near me, and for this situation, I immediately remembered the range fusion elemental magic that the kingdom mage used against us before, under my control, the wind element quickly gathered, carrying the fire elemental power that was used to condense the fireball just now into a dragon and swept over, and under my control, all the surrounding skeleton soldiers were swept in.
The hurricanes I made weren't so ferocious, and my flames weren't as hot as those of the great magicians. However, when the furious fire elemental passes through the bones of those skeleton soldiers with the speed of the wind elemental, these elements can quickly tear and tear off the bones that were originally put together, causing these skeletons of no lower level to disintegrate directly in the air. This requires a certain amount of skill, and if it weren't for the fact that I usually put a lot of effort into magic, I'm afraid I would have been able to take away these high-level skeletons with a strong wind, but it wouldn't have caused much damage.
The fire tornado lasted a full minute under my control, and as the elemental power gradually weakened, the flame tornado gradually became smaller and weaker, and finally dissipated into the scorching air, and my mana was consumed by more than a quarter of it in this minute.
In the attack on the skeleton soldier just now, I can confirm that my flame tornado has cleaned all the skeletons that came over, and the skeleton bones are also spread on the ground, confirming the effect of my actions just now. But what surprised and worried me was that after more than a minute of cleaning, the skeleton soldiers in the arena did not seem to have decreased in the slightest! And after the fire tornado was extinguished, the area that I had previously cleared with magic and fire was filled with skeletons, brandishing their weapons and charging at me one after another.
Their bodies are fragile, and although these skeleton soldiers are about the same height as ordinary people, they can't even beat a level 1 goblin in terms of strength. An intermediate-level fighter can easily take out a dozen or even dozens of them. The bones of the body brought them incalculable life, but it also made them vulnerable. These cannon fodder-like creatures seem to have been born to be crushed by other races for leveling, and they are also the target of novices.
But what if this number continues to stack? If it's a hundred, or even a thousand, or even thousands, of cannon fodder with infinite physical strength and fearless death, even the master of battle will avoid its edge. And I'm in a worse situation now, I'm afraid.
Thousands of skeletons surrounded me, and their replacements poured out of the ground even faster than they were crushed. At this moment, I finally got a sense of what our enemy felt when faced with an army of countless skeletons, a state of fear and even despair.
"Alone"
Looking at the skeletal troops that kept rushing towards me, I suddenly thought of such a word.
And today, I finally understand the meaning of the word.
