Chapter 158: Skeleton Riot, Skeleton Monitor Lizard
A low-level skull lair?
Ji Chen shook his head, but he was not too disappointed, he had already made some mental preparations.
After all, the skeleton monsters guarding here are basically at level 1~3, as well as a few white skeleton heroes.
With a wave of his big hand, he casually put this low-level skeleton nest into his backpack, Ji Chen looked left and right, and after making sure that there was only this lair here and nothing else, he returned the same way with the people.
Returning to the gate of the skeleton camp, he only waited for a while, and saw the figure of Daro and his group of half-orcs appear on the sand dunes, rumbling towards them.
Bang Bang –
Several heads of different shapes were thrown on the ground, and Daro, who ran to him, suddenly sounded like thunder, and he was still holding three white spars in his hands.
"My lord, I've killed these fleeing skeletons."
"These three hedrons rolled out of their heads."
Crystals that fall from them?
Ji Chen seemed to remember something, stretched out his hand to take it, and stared at it.
【White Heroic Spirit】
[Grade]: Special
[Effect]: Can instantly promote an ordinary creature to a white normal-level hero
Sure enough, and from Stein. The green heroic soul spirit that bursts out of the evil wind belongs to the same series.
Three White Heroic Soul Spirits can make three ordinary people become heroes, even if it's just the lowest white normal level.
There is a rather obvious development problem with the crown of the ocean.
Of the six heroes, four are purple rare, only one is blue excellent and one is green elite, and none of the most common white ordinary heroes are there.
The structure is very deformed.
If purple rare heroes like Alice and Anina are compared to generals, then white ordinary heroes are grassroots officers and backbones.
The result of such a lack of low-level heroes is that every small fight and small-scale monster invasion requires several high-level combat heroes to deal with it, which is overkill and a waste of manpower.
And there is another problem, and that is the difference between the heroes and the inferior commanders.
A purely violent hero like Anina is more suitable for fighting alone, rather than leading an army in a collective battle.
It does not bring the advantages that heroes bring to lead the army, and it also restricts her ability to a certain extent.
On the contrary, combat heroes like Rush Erba and Darrow can not only command the Dragonblood and Orc warriors well, but also give great buffs and bonuses.
If there are a few heroes who can match the troops, it will be more calm to command the battle and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Putting the three white Heroic Soul Spirits into his backpack, Ji Chen left with the army to find the next skeleton camp similar to this one.
He finally discovered that the skeleton heroes of this skeleton secret realm had a high probability of producing heroic soul spirits, so he broke through a camp and obtained three.
If you can break through a few more camps and drop a dozen more Heroic Soul Spirits, wouldn't the Crown of the Sea have more than a dozen heroes at once?
Thinking of this, Ji Chen was full of energy, waved his hand, and set off again with the army.
The direction chosen is the direction in which these white skeleton heroes fled just now, and since they are running in this direction, there should be another skeleton camp somewhere or something.
With the main army as the center, send hundreds of Naga berserkers to scout around.
The size of this Skeleton Secret Realm was not inferior to that of the Blood Sea Secret Realm.
After leaving the stone mountain, there is a red desert in sight, vast and lonely.
After crossing a hill, there is still a hill, which spreads the entire ground like an endless one.
After walking for several hours, no skeleton camp was found, and the sky was getting darker, and the visibility around it was rapidly decreasing.
Seeing this, Ji Chen had no choice but to let the army stop and camp in a sheltered valley.
Soon. Night fell completely.
The sky was cloudy, and a blood moon appeared behind the clouds, and the blood-colored moonlight illuminated the gravel more vividly.
Listening to the whining wind outside the tent, Ji Chen, who was hugging Alice's soft body, gradually relaxed.
But before he was about to fall asleep completely, he faintly heard a sound of sand and gravel flowing under the wind, but he didn't pay attention.
Until I heard a terrible warning sound outside.
"Enemy Attack !!"
Ji Chen opened his eyes in an instant and found that Alice had also woken up, and her face was full of vigilance.
The two immediately got up and dressed, and soon led Alice out of the tent.
At a glance, at the top of the surrounding sand dunes, I don't know when blood-red flames appeared.
Ji Chen stared.
No, it's the flames in the Skeletron's eye sockets!
Why are there so many skeletons all of a sudden?
Could it be that other skeleton heroes discovered them and gathered forces to attack at night?
Although he didn't know the specific reason, Ji Chen knew that now was not the time to dwell on this.
Listening to the crunch that even the wind and soft gravel could suppress, you knew that there were a large number of skeleton monsters rushing towards you at the other end of the dune.
Some of them had already begun to fight with the army of the Night's Watch.
They are stationed in the valley, surrounded by sand dunes, and once they are occupied by the skeleton monsters, then they will form a condescending attack, and it will not be easy to fight.
Ji Chen, who realized this, immediately shouted loudly.
"The army has boarded up and built a defensive line at the top of the dunes!"
"Orcs as reserves, ready to respond to friendly forces!"
Hearing this, the army, which had just recovered from rest, rushed to the top of the sand dunes without hesitation, and soon joined forces with the night watch troops, building a defense line that stretched for hundreds of meters according to the circular sand dunes.
Seeing this, Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief a little, and also climbed to the top of the sand dune.
Although he had killed tens of thousands of skeleton monsters along the way, he still couldn't help but gasp when he saw the skeleton monsters attacking at this time.
Under the light of the blood moon, the dense sea of skeleton monsters is attacking the defensive line.
Blood-red flames flickered in the eye sockets, filling every land in front of the vision.
You have to have at least 100,000 or more skeletons to have this kind of stance, right!?
Where the hell did these skeletons come from!?
But he soon discovered that the attacks of these skeleton monsters were unorganized and orderly, and they were only surging forward with their numerical superiority, and there seemed to be no command from the skeleton heroes.
The hundreds of meters of defense line built by the army stood still like a mountain blocking the attack of the Sea of Skulls like a tide.
But there are so many skeletons, shoulder to shoulder, back to back, you push and I squeeze in.
When he smelled Ji Chen's breath, he became even more crazy, his mouth clicked and bit at them, pushing hard, and even squeezing his allies and his own ribs.
Most of the skeletons were held in front of the line, but some were gradually pushed to the edges of the sides of the line and leaked in.
Seeing this, Ji Chen frowned, and asked Daro to fill it with the half-orcs on standby, killing the skeleton monsters that leaked in, and plugging the gap.
I don't know if it's a blood moon or night.
These skeleton monsters with blood-red flames swaying in their eye sockets, their average strength is stronger than that of the dark blue flames, and they attack fearlessly to death.
The Naga Berserker's blades open and close, slicing three or four skeletons to pieces with each swing.
The dragon-blooded fish-man threw it with all his might, and the trident smashed several skeletons in a line like a full-fledged crossbow arrow.
The Elemental Sea Spirit has advanced from the third order to the fourth order, and its firepower has increased several times?
Each water arrow was like a bomb, the main arrow exploded in the enemy group, hundreds of arrows bloomed like a flower, and the escaping violent energy swept through the skeleton monster within a radius of thirty or forty meters, causing a brief vacancy.
Every time it blooms, hundreds of skeletons are torn apart, and the surviving skeletons are also broken.
In terms of killing efficiency, they are the strongest troops under Ji Chen's command.
The sound of fighting resounded through the red desert, and two hours had passed, but the skeleton monsters in front of him had not decreased at all, and more were coming from afar.
Ji Chen was ruthless in his heart, gritted his teeth and began to send the self-detonating water spider that had not been used.
He wanted to see what the power of the third-order 3-star in the explosion looked like.
Get instructions.
A wave of self-detonating water spiders, numbering fifty, circled far from both sides.
Eight slender legs walked on the gravel but very fast, and in a few breaths, they came to both sides of the Sea of Skulls, and rushed up one first under Ji Chen's control.
Seeing the approach of the self-detonating water spider, the skeleton monster, which had no sense of life and death, immediately greeted it.
The sharp bone claws slammed out, plunging directly into the body of the self-detonating water spider and stirring wildly.
The next moment, the self-detonating water spider's moving body froze, and a burst of green light suddenly emitted from its body, and then its entire body exploded suddenly.
Boom –
I saw a small mushroom cloud rise suddenly, and the violent air currents carried energy and violently impacted the surroundings, raising countless gravel.
Wait until the grit falls and the smoke clears.
With the explosion point as the center, all the skeleton monsters within a radius of fifty meters, whether they were ordinary skeleton monsters, or more advanced skeleton dogs and black skeletons, all turned into a white dust in the explosion, and spread on the gravel one after another, forming a white desert.
Ji Chen had a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he almost held his breath.
He didn't expect it to be so powerful, which is much more powerful than C4!
Coming back to his senses, he smiled wildly.
This time, he's going to blow them up to death!
The mind moved.
The remaining forty-nine self-detonating spiders also rushed forward.
Boom –
Boom –
In the middle of the battlefield, a small mushroom cloud rises from time to time, accompanied by thousands of skeleton monsters turning into powder.
The continuous explosions blew up the Sea of Skulls into huge vacancies, and it took a while to be replenished.
With the self-detonation of the self-destructing water spiders, the system prompts also sounded one after another.
"Ding~ Your army killed 536 ordinary skeletons and gained experience..."
"Ding~ Your army killed 215 Black Skulls and gained experience..."
"Ding~ Your army killed 87 skeleton dogs and gained experience..."
"Ding~ Your level has increased (22→23)."
...
"Ding~ Your level has increased (23→24)."
...
"Ding~ Your level has increased (24→25)."
Looking at the level like flying, Ji Chenxiao's teeth were about to be exposed.
This is no longer called killing monsters to gain experience, this is already called farming experience.
Who can rise so fast?
After a few hours, no more skeletons appeared in the distance, and when the last one was split into several pieces, his level stopped at level 27.
In addition to him, the other heroes have also risen several levels.
Among them, Alice is the highest, having risen to level 28, and the rest are also between levels 25~28.
This wave is simply bloody!
At this time, Ji Chen's unhappy mood of being suddenly attacked at the beginning had already been thrown away from the nine heavens, replaced by a sense of comfort, and he couldn't wait for a few more waves of this scale of the Sea of Skeletons.
At this rate, it would be easy to reach level thirty-five before leaving this secret realm!
After hours of bloody fighting, the army was already showing signs of exhaustion.
Looking at the blood moon that was gradually hidden behind the clouds, his heart slowly relaxed, and he said loudly.
"Leave some guards, and rest the rest."
After that, he walked down the sand dune and returned to the tent to continue to rest.
The next day.
The rested army set off again, heading for the depths of the vast red desert.
But this time, something seems to be different.
After two hours of marching.
In the midst of the same red, a black stone forest appeared.
A large number of skeleton monsters are entrenched around the stone forest.
Seeing this scene, Ji Chen didn't know that this was another skeleton camp.
However, looking at the number of skeletons here, there are much more skeletons than the previous skeleton camp.
Among them, there are even new skeleton monsters.
Shaped like a lizard, the bones form a body four or five meters long, but only a pair of forearms, and a thick tail occupies half of the length, which is obviously not intended for ornamental purposes.
There is a ring-shaped bone shield between the neck and the head, and a sharp bone horn grows on the conical skull.
This image looks quite powerful and domineering.

Ji Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
Fourth-order 2 stars...
This was the first time he had encountered a fourth-order skeleton monster, and it didn't seem to be a good stubble.
But fortunately, this kind of skeleton monitor lizard does not seem to be the existence of miscellaneous soldiers, and at a glance, there are only about a hundred or so on the outside of the stone forest, which is still under control.
Looking at the skills and characteristics of this skeleton monitor lizard, Ji Chen gradually had an idea in his heart.
