They quickly ran to the place where the distress signal had been sent. Soon, they arrived at the edge of the forest. They could hear the roars of beasts and strange, ear-piercing screams coming from inside. From time to time, they could also hear the sound of the ground shaking. It seemed that there was a fierce battle going on.
"Quick!" Fan Ganglie took the lead and rushed into the forest.
The forest was full of strange trees, surrounded by a thick aura of death. Bones were scattered everywhere.
Lin Mokong wanted to slow down and fall behind Su Ping, looking for an opportunity to take revenge. However, he found that Su Ping was the slowest and was about to fall behind. He cursed in his heart and had no choice but to speed up.
Fan Yujing found it strange that Su Ping was the slowest. He didn't know what Su Ping was thinking, so he had to slow down as well so that Su Ping wouldn't get lost. As a result, the formation of the team was stretched into a long line.
After Su Ping and Fan Yujing entered the forest, they saw a large number of broken and destroyed trees. These were the traces of a battle.
They followed the traces of the destroyed trees and ran into the depths of the dense forest. Soon, they saw Fan Ganglie, Lin Mokong, and the others. They were supporting two figures, a man and a woman. Around them were a few pets guarding, and in front of them were a few pets fighting.
"That's … an eighth-rank Magical Corpse Beast?!"
When he saw the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf pouncing on the huge figure, Fan Yujing's pupils shrank. His face was full of shock.
This Magical Corpse Beast was seven or eight meters tall. It was like a mountain of bones crawling on the ground. Its whole body was made of ferocious bones. Sharp bone spears and huge bone arms were constantly shooting out from the bones. Its attacks were strange and unpredictable. It was impossible to guard against.
"A Magical Corpse Beast?"
Seeing this huge monster, Su Ping was stunned. He couldn't help but take a closer look at the bones on its body. A strange look appeared in his eyes. It was like … a chef choosing his favorite ingredients.
At the same time, the consciousness of the Little Skeleton connected to his mind transmitted waves of excitement and urging. It was very active.
Su Ping came back to his senses and comforted it. Then, he followed Fan Yujing to Fan Ganglie and the others.
"It's an adult rank eight Magical Skeleton Beast!" Fan Ganglie's expression was ugly. He even regretted that he had rushed over. He turned to the two people beside him and said, "You two, if you have any other pets that can fight, summon them. My Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf alone is not a match for it."
Both the man and the woman were covered in wounds. Clearly, they had gone through a fierce battle. The man forced a bitter smile and said, "This Earth Shield Beast is the only pet I have left."
"My Holy Flame Bird can still fight." The woman, on the other hand, was biting her lips. Her eyes were filled with determination. Next to her was a bird with golden feathers. It was the Holy Flame Bird, an eighth-rank pet with an advanced bloodline. However, its feathers were messy and its holy flames were dim. There was also a shocking wound on its chest, from which golden blood was oozing out.
Fan Ganglie couldn't help but take a second look at the Holy Flame Bird. Even among eighth-rank pets, the Holy Flame Bird was an extremely powerful existence. How could it be in such a sorry state?
The man seemed to have seen the doubts in Fan Ganglie and Lin Mokong's eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he finally revealed the truth. "This Magical Skeleton Beast is not an ordinary one. It should be close to the upper position of the eighth rank."
"Close to the upper position of the eighth rank?!" Fan Ganglie and Lin Mokong's pupils shrank. They were frightened.
Li Ying and Fan Yujing, who were next to them, were also scared out of their wits. The two of them could barely stand in front of a seventh-rank Astral Pet, let alone a monster at the upper position of the eighth rank.
"Are you the only two left in your team?" Fan Ganglie came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "We encountered another eighth-rank Bone Dragon on the way and were scattered. Otherwise, if the whole team was here, we wouldn't have been in such a situation where we couldn't even escape, although we might not have been able to kill this thing."
"…"
Fan Ganglie and the others were speechless. What kind of luck was this?
Moreover, they had encountered two eighth-rank Astral Pets in a row here?
"Everyone, you …" The man hesitated for a moment, but he still took a deep breath and looked at them seriously. "Why don't you let your pets stay behind first? If we continue to fight this thing, I'm afraid we will all be left behind."
Seeing the change in the expressions of Fan Ganglie and the others, the man quickly said, "After we leave, we will compensate you for the pets you lost. There will also be rewards. I, Ye Chenshan, will never go back on my words!"
"Ye Chenshan?" Fan Ganglie was just about to get angry when he heard the name. He was shocked. "You are Ye Chenshan?!"
Li Ying and Fan Yujing looked at him in surprise. They were very familiar with this name.
"Ye Chenshan, the pioneer with the Golden Dragon Medal?" Lin Mokong was stunned for a moment. His expression changed slightly.
"That's right." Ye Chenshan reached into his pocket and took out a Golden Dragon Medal. He showed it to the others and then put it away. "I hope you will consider it. Time waits for no one. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave."
Fan Ganglie's expression changed. He looked at the Bloodthirsty Werewolf that was fighting with the Magical Corpse Beast in the distance. The wounds on the latter's body were gradually increasing. Although the Bloodthirsty Werewolf was a seventh-rank agile pet, it could do nothing in front of the Magical Corpse Beast. The Magical Corpse Beast was like a hedgehog that had nowhere to bite. It could only rely on its agility and speed to dodge left and right to barely stall the Magical Corpse Beast.
"Okay!" He gritted his teeth and finally agreed.
If he could get another Bloodthirsty Werewolf as compensation, it would make up for his loss. More importantly, he could also get a favor from Ye Chenshan.
Ye Chenshan heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, his expression changed. A large number of skeletons suddenly crawled out from the ground and blocked their escape route.
"It's the Undead Summon!" Everyone's expression turned ugly.
Just as they were about to command their pets to break out of the encirclement, the summoned skeletons suddenly bypassed them and rushed toward the Magical Corpse Beast in front of them.
This scene immediately stunned everyone, and they were dumbfounded.
"Captain, your pet has been with you for so long. It's a pity to just abandon it like this," Su Ping said.
Fan Ganglie was stunned. He couldn't help but look at Su Ping. Then, he thought of something and his eyes fell on the Little Skeleton at his feet. The Little Skeleton was emitting a strong dark energy that covered its bones. At first glance, it looked like a mysterious existence shrouded in a dark fog.
"This Undead Summon is yours?" Fan Ganglie was shocked. This was an advanced undead pet skill. Judging from the scale of the surrounding area, it was obvious that the Little Skeleton was very familiar with it. It was even more terrifying than the average Undead Summon!
Su Ping didn't say anything. He was using his mind to command the Little Skeleton to control the skeletons around them.
This was the Little Skeleton's ability, Undead Enslavement. As long as there were skeletons around, the Little Skeleton could directly enslave them. The strength of the ability depended on the number of skeletons around it. Naturally, the Magical Corpse Beast had the most skeletons around it. If the Little Skeleton's spirit was strong enough, it could even enslave the Magical Corpse Beast directly!
This was because the Magical Corpse Beast was also an undead creature.
