After everyone returned to the cave, most of them were exhausted. Orrin rekindled a campfire, Larry bandaged his injured arm, and then each of them crawled into their sleeping bags to sleep. Lin Li, on the other hand, did not sleep well. After returning from the outside, he had been thinking about that piece of crystal. It was not until late at night that he finally fell asleep. He even had a dream in the middle of it. He dreamed that he was surrounded by countless Undead creatures, and it scared him awake again …
All in all, it was not a pleasant night.
When he woke up in the morning, Lin Li was still a little dispirited. He had two dark circles under his eyes, and yawned continuously. When Larry looked at him, he thought for a while before remembering that this dispirited fellow was the pervert who had blown up more than ten Skeletal Warriors with a Flaming Nova last night.
In the morning, the Shadowglen was still lifeless. There was not a trace of the vitality that should be present in the morning.
"Good morning …" Lin Li yawned twice again before crawling out of his sleeping bag reluctantly. He greeted his companions and walked towards the entrance of the cave with a sleepy face.
After a night, the mana that maintained the mageweath's operation was almost depleted. He needed to replenish it again. This was because he did not have a suitable magical crystal. He could only rely on temporary input of mana to maintain the mageweath's operation. He had to replenish it every once in a while, and it was far less stable than using magical crystals.
When Lin Li walked out of the cave, the light on the two mageweaths had indeed dimmed to the extreme. They looked like candlelight in the wind, and could be extinguished at any time.
Lin Li squatted at the entrance of the cave. When he was about to replenish his mana, he suddenly heard a slight noise. He looked back in confusion, and saw that there seemed to be a cloud of dust rolling in a faraway place …
"F * ck!" This sudden discovery woke Lin Li up from his drowsiness. He did not bother to replenish his mana, and hurriedly shouted into the cave, "Quick, come and take a look, there seems to be something over there!"
"What is it?" Mason came over excitedly with a wretched smile on his face.
"Take a look and you'll know …" Lin Li's face was solemn. He had a very bad feeling.
Both of them released a Warlock's Eye each, and stuck close to the edge of the Shadowglen as they floated towards the place where the dust was rising at an extremely fast speed …
Just as the Warlock's Eyes floated closer, the smile on Mason's face froze. "F * ck …"
Through the vision of the Warlock's Eyes, the two could clearly see that the cause of the dust was tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors. Countless Skeletal Warriors with machetes gathered together to form a terrifying Undead Army. No one knew what they wanted to do, and no one knew why they had gathered together. Lin Li only knew that if he was unfortunate enough to be entangled by this terrifying Undead Army, even if he had unlimited mana, he would not be able to escape the fate of being exhausted to death …
This was simply too terrifying …
Looking from afar, one could only see Skeleton Warriors all over the mountains and plains. Endless white bones connected together, as if it was a real mountain of corpses and a sea of bones.
"What should we do?" Mason's mind was in a daze. He had never seen such a terrifying scene in his life.
"Let's continue watching!" Lin Li gritted his teeth, and floated the Warlock's Eyes closer. He had to see clearly what these tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors were trying to do when they gathered together.
That was the most crucial point!
If these tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors had gathered together by chance, there would naturally be no problem. Everyone could just hide in the cave and wait for these seven days to pass. When the time came, they would use a Teleportation Scroll to fly back to the camp. Who cared about the Undead Army or Skeletal Warriors …
But if it was not like that, there would be big trouble!
Lin Li knew that he had to try his best to understand their movements. Once there was any abnormal movement, he could quickly think of a countermeasure.
"How's the situation?" Just as the two of them had a grave expression, Orrin came out of the cave.
"It seems to be worse …" Lin Li muttered softly as he controlled the Warlock's Eyes. The situation was indeed worse than he had imagined. Those tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors were like real soldiers, and were approaching the depths of the Shadowglen with an unstoppable force.
Then … Lin Li knew that he was in trouble, because he suddenly realized that the Undead creatures in the Shadowglen seemed to have suddenly divided into two forces. They were waving their weapons, and engaged in a fierce battle.
From the vision of the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li could clearly see that the phalanx had encountered a lot of Undead creatures in the process of advancing. There were Skeletal Warriors, Hell Ghouls, and low-level Vampires. They were like moths darting into a flame as they crashed into the Undead Army.
The Hell Ghouls were level-10 Undead creatures, and the low-level Vampires each had the strength of level-13 or level-14. But when the tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors surged forward, they were torn into pieces in an instant …
"They … They're fighting?" For a moment, Lin Li's eyes were glued to the scene.
This, this, this … This is too fake, isn't it?
In that cloud of dust, the battle between the Undead creatures was extremely fierce. Tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors advanced into the Shadowglen, and a large number of Undead creatures tried to stop them. Groups of Skeletal Warriors were torn into pieces, and then another group of Skeletal Warriors pounced on them.
In this battle, there was not a single drop of blood, and not a single scream was heard. But, the degree of fierceness was far beyond any battle that Lin Li had seen before.
This scene was really too shocking, and had far exceeded the scope of understanding of Lin Li and the rest.
The battle between the Undead creatures was actually so fierce …
"What a joke …" Lin Li really wanted to die. These Skeletal Warriors were simply despicable. They did not know how to cherish such a harmonious society, and actually played with their own kind. Moreover … if they wanted to kill each other, then so be it. Why did they have to fight near the cave? Wasn't this forcing them to a dead end?
This was not a few hundred Skeletal Warriors, but an army of tens of thousands of Undead creatures. Once they were involved in this sea of corpses, not to mention a few trial mages, even the trial mentors would not be able to escape the fate of defeat. Lin Li did not want to be trampled to death by the chaotic army. He had to think of a way …
"It's over, it's over …" Mason, who was at the side, looked nervous. He paced back and forth in the cave anxiously, looking like an ant on a hot pan.
Orrin did not speak, but the expression on his face was unusually solemn. What Lin Li could think of, he could naturally also think of. Such a terrifying force was no longer something that a few trial mages could contend against. It was the same even if there was a monster like Lin Li. Not to mention facing the enemy head-on with this Undead Army, even if they were to be engulfed by the aftermath, they would definitely end up in pieces.
"Pack up, get ready to run!" Lin Li clenched his teeth, and kept the Warlock's Eyes.
Mason was stunned. "Where are we going?"
"Inside." Lin Li stood at the entrance of the cave, and pointed to the depths of the Shadowglen, where the black fog pervaded.
"F * ck …" Mason almost fainted on the spot. The Shadowglen was a place that got more and more dangerous the deeper they went. At the entrance of the valley, they might only encounter some Skeletal Warriors, but as they gradually went deeper, the level of the Undead creatures would become higher and higher. At this point, there were already Hell Ghouls in the vicinity. If they continued to go deeper, who knew what else they would encounter. Perhaps by then, vengeful spirits, banshees, high-level Vampires, Death Knights — all of them would be provoked. That would be much more troublesome than facing an army of tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors …
"Will it be too dangerous inside?" Mason's expression was a little perturbed.
"It's alright. We're just going around the group of Skeletal Warriors, and we'll circle back after they disperse. There shouldn't be a problem as long as we're careful." Lin Li comforted Mason, but the smile on his face showed that he was helpless. There was no other way. Just looking at the Hell Ghouls was enough to know how terrifying the tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors were. The level-10 Undead creatures did not even have the time to release a spell before they were torn into pieces by the countless Skeletal Warriors. This was simply like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Just as the two of them were talking, Larry and the rest had already packed up their things. They rolled up their sleeping bags and blankets and stuffed them into their backpacks. They held their magic staffs tightly in their hands. Because they were too nervous, the magic staffs in their hands were trembling slightly. This was indeed too difficult for them. For a trial team like this, whose biggest goal was to hide for a few days, to suddenly let them enter the depths of the Shadowglen felt like letting a rabbit bite a wolf to death …
Just as they escaped from the cave, the situation of the battle in the distance changed again.
"F * ck!" That terrifying scene instantly caused everyone to be stunned on the spot. For a moment, they didn't even dare to take a deep breath …
They saw that in the depths of the Shadowglen where the black fog lingered, countless Undead creatures suddenly surged out. Large groups of bats flew into the sky, covering the entire sky. Their eerie gaze and blood-red fangs made everyone's scalp go numb. These were the legendary Vampires. Although they were not blood-red high-ranking Vampires, they had at least the strength of level-13 or 14. In other words, every bat here was not much weaker than the strongest among them, Lin Li …
Under the shadow of the group of Vampires were Hell Ghouls holding Bone Staffs. From afar, there were probably hundreds of them. Thinking of the scene of hundreds of Hell Ghouls being summoned at the same time, the group of people really turned pale.
"Dada, dada, dada, dada …" A series of crisp sounds rang out incessantly, like raindrops hitting everyone's hearts. Lin Li's heart couldn't help but hang in his throat as he listened to this terrifying sound. He had already guessed something.
"Death Knights …" Larry's voice was as if he was sleep-talking. He was completely scared out of his wits.
The legendary level-15 Undead creatures appeared on the stage in an almost shocking manner. They rode on skeletal warhorses, their black cloaks fluttering in the wind in the fog, and their shiny black armor was emitting a faint light.
There weren't many Death Knights, only about a hundred of them. However, their appearance was like a sharp arrow that pierced through the hearts of the skeletal warriors. The dark aura of death spread out, and the neighing of skeletal warhorses lingered in the air. The shining black spears brought up pieces of white bone fragments in the midst of the skeletal warriors.
The two armies of undead, which were equally powerful, clashed with each other almost instantly.
One side had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and level. Such a powerful combination of Death Knights, Hell Ghouls, and low-level Vampires was simply a pure massacre against the Skeletal Warriors that were no higher than level-5.
But the other side had an almost endless advantage in terms of numbers. This advantage was too terrifying. Hundreds and thousands of Skeletal Warriors were crushed into pieces, but it was as if it was insignificant to them. More Skeletal Warriors would immediately fill in the gaps. Moreover, there were large numbers of Skeletal Warriors climbing out of the ground every minute and every second. After the tens of thousands of Skeletal Warriors had gone through a battle, not only did their numbers not decrease, but there was a trend of them increasing …
This battle was like Mars colliding with Earth. In an instant, dazzling sparks were stirred up, and countless magic runes rose up. The sound of metal clashing was incessant, and the thick death aura was like a substance that pressed down on everyone, making it hard for them to breathe.
Lin Li and the rest hid at the edge of the valley, their bodies pressed tightly against the cold cliff. At this moment, even their hearts were about to jump out. This battle was simply beyond everyone's imagination. No one had thought that they would witness such a terrifying battle on only the second day of the trial.
And at this moment …
Lin Li suddenly saw that as the Undead creatures continued to fall, wisps of black fog seemed to be gushing out from the mutilated skeletons. This black fog was just like the night before, drifting towards him, and the place it gushed into was still the bag with the crystal …
