Standing at the guard post on the boulder, looking at the beauties waiting at the front entrance, Lu Chen was a little worried about whether he had done the right thing by giving them the scrolls, and the eagerness to try it really made him feel uneasy, but those soldiers looked more reliable.
"Don't worry, these girls are just a little excited, after all, they just got further strength, it's okay, and didn't you already say that the group of undead is made up of skeletons, as long as the number is not too much, there will be no big problem. Seeing that Lu Chen was a little worried about everyone, the people around him opened their mouths to comfort him, but the voice was not Verona's, but Sergil, who was supported by her as the head of the regiment.
After giving birth to the previous incident, Verona was really embarrassed to stand by Lu Chen's side anymore, so under the pretext of trying her current strength, she irresponsibly handed over the command task to Sergill and got into the battle line to avoid the embarrassment of the two. Of course, this kind of thing of killing and venting her feelings is not the first time she has done it, so it has not caused anyone's doubts.
"Hmm~" Lu Chen nodded, indicating that he was nothing.
β...... Are you really going to watch here?" Sergill didn't hold back, and after speaking, he glanced at Sharon beside Lu Chen.
Lu Chen understood that she was concerned about herself and the disobedient girls around her, in fact, he also wanted to hide in the carriage to cultivate now, but the battle plan was decided by him, and he really couldn't let go of this heart if he didn't see the success with his own eyes, and what worried him the most was the girls who implemented this plan.
But it's different from ordinary people's cultivation methods, so that they don't have too many choices, just grab what they don't start with, and when the battle is fierce, let alone cultivate, it is estimated that they can't even calm down.
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry about us, just watch for a while and leave, and with this girl here, don't look at her weaker than you, if you want to deal with ordinary thieves or something, it will definitely not be too bad for you." Isn't it?" Not wanting to go against the kindness of others, Lu Chen could only deal with it like this, and used Sharon as a shield.
Hearing Lu Chen's last question about himself, Sharon hurriedly nodded. Up to now, her trust in Lu Chen has been almost blind, because she knows that this weakling, who can't see any strength, is actually more powerful than anyone she has ever seen. A sword slashed to kill a five-star powerhouse, and the powerful bow built by the dwarves was smashed lightly, and there were a lot of five- or six-star scrolls in the space ring, and there were no magical beasts that I had encountered when I was running for my life in the forest before, and now I think that it should be those magical beasts that sensed his power and hid, so powerful that she really couldn't think of anything safer than being by his side.
Of course, Sharon wouldn't tell anyone about these things, even if she buried her with gold coins, because this was a little secret that only belonged to her and Lu Chen.
Sergir wanted to say something, but seeing that the thieves had already entered the attack distance, she could only stop care, and she also understood that Lu Chen was worried about his cruel plan, so she could only see the thieves and the undead fighting, and believed that he would take Sharon back to the carriage with him.

Through the Elemental Eye, the black-robed mages had seen the response in the col from a distance, and now they were not as expected to attack the thieves, although they were a little stunned, but they didn't care too much.
Keeping hands on the thieves means that the other party has revealed his own group of undead, that is, he intends to unite with the thieves to save his life.
Seeing that the distance was about the same, the black-robed mage gave the command to attack the skeletons in the back team with all his might, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos when those people let the thieves into the mountain col and control the entrance.

The wilderness outside the woods was unsafe, the thieves had no choice but to run towards the col, the "demons" of the red thorn flower were at least human no matter how terrifying they were, and the group of undead behind them formed a semi-encirclement formation, so that they could not escape in other directions.
The thieves at the front began to hesitate when the soldiers in full gear appeared in the eyes of the col and the entrance, but the miserable wails behind suddenly increased, and it was clear that the skeletons were speeding up to catch up, as if they were afraid that they would flee into the col.
The fear of being shot mercilessly was suddenly covered by the fear behind him, except for some people who were originally running at the front deliberately slowing down, the other thieves who had not yet seen the situation of the mountain pass all took the final sprint regardless of it.
The imaginary rain of arrows did not come, and when the heroic posture of the members of the red thorn flower who made them frightened by the bonfire on the towering boulder came into view, the thieves all felt a kind of joy in their hearts for the rest of their lives, and rushed to the entrance of the col even more frantically, as if it was the gate to heaven, and the mercenaries guarding the entrance and exit also became the beautiful angels who led them to paradise and swept away the dead for them.
Because everyone knows that it is impossible to leave a chance at this time, without the first wave of arrows, naturally there will be no second wave, and the people in the col are obviously a group of undead, intending to unite them to get through this difficult time.
However, the truth was quite different, and while the thieves were cheering for their imminent salvation, they saw a figure on the boulder running quickly to the beautiful angel's side, snatching something from one of them, and throwing it down without pause.
Then a wall of fire suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, desperately sealing the entrance and exit of the mountain pass.
And with the rise of the wall of fire, more things were thrown down from it one by one, not only sealing the gate of heaven, but also leaving no gaps left and right, and the only hope was the rear of the undead horde......
The entire clearing in front of the col instantly became a purgatory-like arena of death.

Looking at the desperate thieves more than ten meters away, Lu Chen was very glad that he was here to suppress the formation. These girls who were left on the guard post to be responsible for smashing the scrolls were relatively weak in the group, and they didn't join for too long, so they hesitated when Sergill gave the order, but fortunately they expected this kind of bloody situation only in movies.
Turning his head to look at Sergir, who was a little ashamed of himself, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Don't blame yourself, this is normal, it means that everyone is still human...... I just want you to think about what will happen to your fellow human beings if you don't do something like this today, when you feel sorry for the thieves, nay, all other hostile lives. β
Sergir knew that Lu Chen was not to himself, but he saw that he, the deputy head of the regiment, had nothing to say to him.
Looking at the other girls again, Lu Chen finally pursed his lips and left. There was nothing for him to do here, and enough was enough, he didn't want to accuse them of anything, not to mention that it was his own lack of compassion as a visitor to the earth, and if these girls were like himself, maybe he wouldn't want to help them.
It's just that Lu Chen, who has helplessness in his heart, didn't show up, and in addition to the shame in the eyes of the girls, there was a trace of respect that should not be due to him, a junior brother.
The girls all know that what he said is not wrong, and the sentence "everyone is still human" makes people feel extremely vicissitudes, making the girls feel that he seems to have a special past, and they can't help but have a feeling of wanting to care for him, a junior brother.
When he returned to the carriage, the absent-minded Lu Chen saw that Sharon's eyes were full of worry when he looked at him. pinched her face dotingly, and after saying that she was fine, he told her that he was going to cultivate again, and asked her to help watch it again so as not to disturb people, but it turned her worry directly into fear.
Finally, after a series of pacification work, such as assurance, vows, etc., Lu Chen was able to enter a meditative state.

With no way out, the human instinct for survival was completely aroused, and when some of them tried to cross the wall of fire and were burned to charcoals, the thieves drew their weapons and turned to the skeletons in a desperate assault amid the curses of everyone in the col.
As for the leaders of the thieves with a certain strength, they did not escape over the wall of fire on their own, but they were not reluctant to leave their subordinates, but they knew very well that it was safest to follow the crowd in this situation, because no one knew what else was waiting for them in the night.
At the same time, to the thieves' hatred and joy, one by one fire arrows flew into the group of undead from the col, accompanied by a series of magical attacks, but that was not to open the way for them, purely to reduce the number of undead, each aimed at a large group of undead piles.
This was also arranged by Lu Chen, anyway, these thieves would die at the hands of the undead sooner or later, so it was better to use the scroll to cooperate with them, so that they could grind out more undead. It's ruthless, but it's the best way for everyone at the moment. It's still a bit troublesome to use, you need two people to cooperate, one releases the scroll, and the other shoots an arrow tied to the scroll, and if you don't count the time, you will prematurely move magic above the group of undead.
The leaders of the thieves also suddenly understood at this moment, this time they were sandwiched between the two forces, and they were used again and again in a very miserable way, but now they have no power to return to the sky, looking at the undead group that could not be seen, the leaders made the most helpless decision after a brief exchange, and organized the thieves to retreat to the range of the wall of fire.
No matter how shameless and vicious the people in the col are, at least they will still smash the undead with scrolls, as long as they lure the undead and block them in their attack range, they can greatly reduce the pressure, and maybe hold out until the wall of fire is extinguished.

The summer nights are exceptionally short, and it has been nearly two hours since the pursuit began in the middle of the night, and it will be dawn at about this time.
The corner of his eyes twitched as he looked at the battlefield scene fed back by the Elemental Eye, the wall of fire that was encircled, the thieves who became more and more brave and resisted the attack to the death, and the magic scrolls that kept blooming in the pile of skeletons, the black-robed mage couldn't sit still.
He never thought that the thieves he deliberately left behind would be ruthlessly used by the other party in turn, and he even wondered if there was a frenzied necromancer among the other party's people; and those skeletons who were not directly controlled after receiving the last order had already formed a dense charging formation in the pursuit, just like queuing up to commit suicide, they were turned into broken bones one by one; and the most headache for him was that he didn't have time to grind, and if he didn't finish this qiΔ before dawn, he would have to give up these rare materials, otherwise if someone passed by and spread the news that there were undead here, he would have to move his nest againγ
The city lord of Litt couldn't see the specific battlefield scene, but standing on the canopy, he could also see that the battle was unfavorable, and the flames that reflected the red sky, as well as those skeletons that were thrown away from time to time, were obviously the effect of magic, but he had obviously investigated, and none of those people were magicians.
"Is it a magic scroll? What kind of identity does it take to have so many scrolls...... Even the princes of the kingdom can't have so many......" The lord of the city realized that he had met someone who should not be messed with this time, but he thought that all the powerful people in the kingdom could not remember anyone with such a skill.
Suddenly, he saw the black-robed mage stand up and emit a stronger dark element, as if he was ready to use even more terrifying power.
"Master, wait, I think it's better to forget it this time, even if today's loss is on my head, how about finding a chance to catch these materials in the future?"
"Oh, hehe, the lord of the city is scared, don't worry, it's just a few tattered scrolls, and there are no mages among them. Or are you~ afraid that I won't be able to hold back and hurt your son, or is that little boy's identity made you jealous?" said the black-robed mage playfully.
"Haha, a master is really a master. I did worry a little about the boy's identity, if I had known that he had so many scrolls, I wouldn't have bothered the master, I was negligent. First he flattered him, and then Litt readily admitted that he had nothing to lose anyway.
"Okay, you don't have to say it, I promise that your son will be fine, I have to decide these materials. If you're afraid of being exposed, don't come along. After saying that, the black-robed mage summoned a riding beast with only a skeleton and rushed to the battlefield.
Lord Litt struggled for a while, but still gave up the idea of following. As for the safety of his son Malcolm, he was not worried at all, two of the eight people were six-star, and the rest were all above the five-star intermediate, which was the strongest combination among his personal guards.
