Hundreds of skeletons, this is definitely not a small battle. If it were an ordinary adventurer, he would definitely be scared and flustered by now.

Undead creatures are always one of the most terrifying beings in all legends. They are not the living, they belong to another world. He brings only darkness and death, and never has any mercy - not even a heart.

In the face of these white bones, it is not easy to keep it from collapsing.

This is one of the reasons why necromancers are feared and hated by the vast majority of people - ordinary people, of course. An adventurer like Ji Ran is more of a consideration of strength.

A few hundred skeletons weren't a threat to them, but the necromancers hiding in the shadows were a headache - they certainly couldn't fight the necromancers head-on, but they were better at spells like toxin curses - and that stuff was really hard to prevent.

I'm not afraid of that necromancer, but it's never a good thing to be injured by an accident.

The question just now did not get any answer from the skeletal soldier in the back. Instead, the skeletons stepped forward again, with their weapons in hand.

"If you don't speak, then I'm sorry, these poor men of yours are going back to that world."

Ji Ran squinted his eyes, turned his hand from the backpack space, and slowly pulled out the Rising Sun Sword.

Everyone around him knew that he had a secret space prop, so Ji Ran no longer hid the storage space of his backpack most of the time. Carrying the Rising Sun Sword behind your back all the time was imposing, but it also caused a lot of trouble—like those who could tell it was a gold-tier weapon.

Ji Ran's sixth-level strength couldn't dispel those people's greedy thoughts - if he didn't want to encounter many battles along the way that could have been avoided, then Ji Ran needed to hide this sword.

And now. Ji Ran thinks. Use this sword to fight these skeletons. It should be considered a pretty fitting thing.

Step by step, the skeletons attacked. However, Ji Ran stopped them - to deal with these skeleton soldiers, there was no need for everyone to reveal their strength.

He took the Rising Sun Sword and slowly walked towards the skeletons. Then, when facing a skeleton soldier who was walking in the forefront, Ji Ran suddenly swung the Rising Sun Sword!

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the forest in an instant. Then, this lightning bolt turned into countless tiny bolts of lightning. Jump wildly in this wood!

When Ji Ran slashed at the skeleton soldier in front of him with a sword, he activated one of the abilities of the Rising Sun Sword, Lightning!

The Rising Sun Sword contained a thunder crystal and several thunder element crystals - to be honest, Ji Ran felt that it was a pity that these materials were used in this hastily refined gold-level weapon, but fortunately, he had the means to make up for it in the future - the lightning attribute, which naturally occupied a considerable weight.

A bolt of lightning went down, and the skeleton soldiers who were directly attacked by Ji Ran were certainly shattered, and the other skeleton soldiers around him were inevitably affected.

The way lightning travels in magic is by jumping. Can automatically jump on top of other targets that are not far away. Therefore, Ji Ran's powerful lightning. Almost half of the woods in front of you!

At least hundreds of skeletons were swept away by the lightning. And most of them were reduced to a pile of bone fragments at once—the most recent ones, even burned to ashes.

A large area of the forest was illuminated, and the appearance of the skeleton soldiers became even more eerie in the light of lightning. But this is just the appearance, skeleton soldiers are fragile, they can deal with low-level opponents, and they can't even be called cannon fodder against high-level opponents.

"Wait! Actually, I didn't mean ......"

It seemed that he was stunned by Ji Ran's sword, and in the depths of the woods, such a sentence suddenly came. Then, all the skeletons that were still standing, all stopped.

Ji Ran did not continue to attack. Necromancers are a tough bunch to get along with - because it's hard to kill them without getting them right. Even necromancers who are less than the golden rank often have some means to escape from death. If one accidentally lets him escape, then you have to wait for the various revenge that will ensue from him.

Moreover, the time for a necromancer to regain his strength is very short, and it will not take a long time to recover like Liberal's gold-rank mage who has a dead son...... In fact, it was also a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Ji Ran and the others. I don't know when, it will fall, revealing a hideous edge towards Ji Ran and the others.

With a big sword in his hand, Ji Ran looked at the place where the sound came from.

"Greeting with skeletons isn't polite even for a necromancer. What exactly do you want to do? If there is no reasonable reason......" Ji Ran's expression was not very friendly.

"Okay, okay...... I'll admit that I wasn't very friendly at first, but I just smelled your food and wanted to scare you away before enjoying it...... You see, I just used some skeletons, which should mean that I don't have much malice, right? ”

With these words, from the depths of the woods, a man slowly walked out.

That's a standard necromancer image. It's not short, but it's not thin. He carried a crooked staff in his hand, and at the top of the wound was a small skull, and a magic crystal was bitten in his mouth. He was wearing an off-white robe, the color and skeleton were somewhat imaginary - but his appearance did not look very hideous and terrifying, and even felt a little delicate.

As if to prove his sincerity, he pushed the hood off his head. Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see the true face of the necromancer.

“…… Walk slowly and don't do any tricks. You should know the reputation of a necromancer...... I don't understand why you came out so lightly...... Don't you think we're going to kill you without hesitation? ”

Ji Ran did not let his guard down. Although he had necromancer friends, he didn't think that all necromancers were acceptable - even Victor had to admit that there were indeed some mentally deranged mad people among the necromancers.

If the necromancer in front of him is like this, then it will be a big problem to put him in front of everyone.

"No, no, no...... In fact, I thought that if I played all these tricks again, I might be killed. I've just escaped from one chase and don't want to get caught up in another. You see, I'm just summoning some skeletons. For you, apart from a little intimidation, will it cause you any harm? It's just a joke...... That's right, it's just a joke. ”

The necromancer shrugged his shoulders and made a harmless look. And his eyes were always on Ji Ran's back...... It's no one else, it's the cauldron.

And his wriggling Adam's apple also shows that he is indeed swallowing saliva.

Ji Ran looked at this necromancer and slowly withdrew the big sword.

"In fact, I don't have any prejudices against necromancers." Although Ji Ran withdrew the big sword, he still held it in his hand. "I have a necromancer friend who told me that most necromancers are just a little withdrawn, not the fabled madman. But a cheerful ...... like you It should also be an outlier among necromancers. ”

The necromancer heard Ji Ran's words and laughed.

"That's true...... But I don't have a choice. Becoming a necromancer is inconvenient a lot of the time...... Right now, for example, you're wary of me. If it were other adventurers, I don't think you would be like this, right? ”

"The other adventurers won't send a few hundred skeletons to greet them first." Ji Ran exhaled and seemed to let his guard down.

"Since everyone is an adventurer, encounters in the wild can be regarded as a matter of fate. It looks like you're interested in our dinner, so why don't you come and enjoy it together? ”

Ji Ran sent out an invitation to the necromancer.

It's not that he didn't have the vigilance he should have against necromancers - in fact, even if this person was another adventurer, Ji Ran wouldn't let his guard down. In this world, adventurers roaming the wilderness may turn into murderous bandits at any point - just like those mercenary groups. However, after all, there are still some people who are really worth associating.

The reason why Ji Ran invited the necromancer was a sentence that suddenly popped up from the bottom of his heart.

"This necromancer doesn't smell of blood."

It was Alice who said this. After that rampage, Alice's abilities seem to have increased considerably, and telepathy is one of them.

As a person who has mastered psychic energy, that is, psionic energy, it is not too difficult to do telepathy. It's just that it can't be supported for a long time - and Ji Ran can't pass on the words to Alice.

But that's enough. To say that among all the people, the person with the strongest real perception ability is not Ji Ran, but Alice. The bloodline of the gold-level demonic beast in her body gave her an ability beyond ordinary people - although she could not directly distinguish between the good and evil of a certain person, she could understand the hearts of other people at a certain level, which was within her ability.

Since Alice thinks that this necromancer should not pose any threat, then there is no need for Ji Ran to make enemies with this necromancer.

And the necromancer on the other side was not surprised by this invitation. He gracefully made a gentlemanly salute: "It's an honor." ”

So, one more person came to share everyone's dinner. This delicate necromancer joined the crowd around the campfire.

And at the same time, the skeleton soldiers who surrounded everyone were also silent, slowly walking into the woods again, and then disappeared without a trace. (To be continued......)
