After a short spatial distortion, Lin Yun once again set foot on the Bone Plane.
The dark red crescent moon had already set, but the sky was still gloomy and suffocating. Black clouds shrouded the black earth, and a cold, rancid wind blew past. Lin Yun couldn't help pulling at his black robe. The soil under his feet was soft and moist, mixed with rotten weeds and fallen leaves, emitting a nauseating stench.
The Nether Iron Vein was still surrounded by Skeleton Warriors. The Bone Devil was still slumbering, but the aura of death it was emitting was almost tangible. Even Lin Yun felt suffocated. This kind of high-level undead lifeform was so fierce, it was close to the power of a High Mage. Just the aura of death it emitted formed an invisible pressure.
Fortunately, Lin Yun hadn't come to the Bone Plane to provoke the Bone Devil.
Lin Yun's target was only the Skeleton Warriors covering the mountains and plains.
When he set foot on the black wasteland, he cast Detect Undead.
'There are at least ten thousand Skeleton Warriors …' Lin Yun was already a Great Mage now, and his Detect Life was far sharper than before. His understanding of the black wasteland was far from what it used to be. It only took a moment for all the undead lifeforms in the black wasteland to appear in Lin Yun's mind.
The entire black wasteland and the ten thousand Skeleton Warriors were divided into several dozen areas in Lin Yun's mind. Apart from the area where the Bone Devil was, the rest were marked as hunting grounds by Lin Yun.
The first area Lin Yun found was the area closest to the Planar Path. There were about fifty Skeleton Warriors gathered there.
Lin Yun chanted a few incantations, and a Flame Barrier suddenly rose up, blocking the path of that group of Skeleton Warriors. At the same time, a Flame Burst fell from the sky, and only a loud "boom" could be heard as a dazzling flame blossomed in the center of the several dozen Skeleton Warriors.
In an instant, flames filled the sky, and countless sparks fell on the black wasteland. Close to ten Skeleton Warriors didn't even move before they were blown to pieces by the Flame Burst.
Lin Yun was already prepared when he cast the Flame Burst. Two rays of light, one red and one blue, revolved around him as he cast an Ice Fire Shield. Lin Yun knew that a Flame Barrier wouldn't be able to stop a fearless undead lifeform like the Skeleton Warriors. What he would have to face next would inevitably be the crazy counterattack of the Skeleton Warriors.
Sure enough, before the flames from the Flame Burst fell, several dozen Skeleton Warriors had already rushed over. The raging Flame Barrier simply couldn't stop them, and after paying the price of a few Skeleton Warriors, they quickly rushed out of the Flame Barrier's encirclement. At this time, they were less than fifty meters away from Lin Yun.
Lin Yun kept chanting, and one Flame Spear after another shot at the few Skeleton Warriors in front of him before retreating. At the same time, he coordinated his incantations with hand gestures, preparing for the next Earthen Fire Burst.
From start to finish, Lin Yun hadn't used anything other than fire spells.
This kind of fighting technique came from – Explanation of the Max Formula – because the Flame Tyrant believed that when a mage fought against the undead, it would be best if every spell was of the fire element. First, because fire spells were the bane of the undead, and second, because a large number of fire spells would make the fire elements in the surroundings more active.
Only when the fire elements became active would it create an environment suitable for a mage to fight. That kind of fighting environment would not only increase the power of fire spells, but it would also weaken the power of the undead.
This kind of fighting technique could only be summed up by a powerhouse like the Flame Tyrant, who had spent his entire life fighting the undead.
After retreating for about ten meters, Lin Yun's Earthen Fire Burst was already ready. Now, he only needed to wait for those Skeleton Warriors to surround him before it would blossom with dazzling flames.
But at this time …
Lin Yun suddenly noticed that the group of Skeleton Warriors charging at him suddenly stopped. Moreover, all of the Skeleton Warriors' Soul Fires flickered at the same time. That kind of feeling was like a candle in a gale. If they weren't careful, they would all be extinguished.
Then, the Skeleton Warriors started retreating.
'What's going on!' Lin Yun was suddenly startled, and he couldn't think too much at the moment. He reflexively interrupted the casting of the Earthen Fire Burst and forcibly changed the last part of the incantation into a Flame Barrier.
A loud explosion echoed as a Flame Barrier suddenly rose up, and the Skeleton Warriors that had already retreated suddenly stepped into the raging flames.
But at this time, not a single Skeleton Warrior dared to turn around. It was as if Lin Yun was even more frightening than the Flame Barrier. They would rather pass through the Flame Barrier than turn around and confront Lin Yun.
The damage of the Flame Barrier was shocking, and with the addition of the incomparably active fire elements, the power of the Flame Barrier was raised to another level. Over thirty Skeleton Warriors rushed in, but no more than ten came out alive. Lin Yun only used a few Flame Spears to shoot down the remaining Skeleton Warriors.
'What happened just now …' Lin Yun was puzzled as he fished out the Sage Chapter from his pocket. In a flash, several dozen Nimble Fires flew up and quickly merged with the Sage Chapter.
Normally, Lin Yun would have immediately cast a spell to test the power of the Sage Chapter. But now, Lin Yun simply didn't have time to care about that. Lin Yun's mind was filled with that shocking scene.
Lin Yun couldn't understand why the Skeleton Warriors that were clearly charging at him would suddenly turn around and run. They would rather pass through the Flame Barrier than fight him. 'Could it be that I'm even more frightening to these Skeleton Warriors than the Flame Barrier?
Moreover, what was the meaning of those Skeleton Warriors' Soul Fires continuously throbbing?
If he remembered correctly, the Soul Fires of the Undead would only keep throbbing like that when they were on the verge of death or when they were feeling great fear.
It was definitely impossible for them to be on the verge of death. When those Skeleton Warriors turned around, they were running even faster than the last. How could they look like they were about to die?
But if they weren't about to die, could it be that they were feeling great fear?
