"Coward," Xu Miantu cursed softly before ignoring Zhou Wen and chasing after him.
Zhou Wen didn't mind. He also wished to help Li Xuan, but there was nothing he could do if he chased after him.
Jiang Hao and Li Xuan had Legendary Companion Beasts, but he didn't. Only death awaited him if he encountered the Skeleton General, so he might as well find a way to deal with the Skeleton General in-game. Perhaps it might be of some use.
The reason why Zhou Wen wanted to help Li Xuan was because he knew very well that after Jiang Hao killed Li Xuan, he would definitely silence him and Xu Miantu to ensure his own safety.
Jiang Hao had exposed his intentions when he attacked Xu Miantu. If Xu Miantu successfully killed Li Xuan, there was no way he would spare Zhou Wen.
Therefore, Zhou Wen helping Li Xuan was also helping himself.
However, it was useless even if he wanted to help. The might of a Legendary Companion Beast wasn't something he could match. Be it against Jiang Hao or the Skeleton General, the chances of him being killed were very high.
As Zhou Wen slowly walked forward, he controlled the blood-colored avatar to charge deep into Ancient Imperial City.
He didn't know what would happen when Li Xuan and Jiang Hao encountered the Skeleton General, so he wanted to make some preparations.
Before the blood-colored avatar under Zhou Wen's control encountered the Skeleton General in-game, he heard a bloodcurdling roar coming from deep within the ancient city. "Defend the city to the death … Defend the city to the death …"
Zhou Wen's expression changed slightly. The voice clearly didn't come from Jiang Hao or Li Xuan, but he hadn't heard the Skeleton General speak while he was in-game.
With just a thought, Zhou Wen's state of mind returned to normal as he continued focusing on his phone.
The surrounding environment didn't affect his thoughts. Soon, the blood-colored avatar found the Skeleton General in-game. After numerous failed attempts, Zhou Wen had a rough idea of the Skeleton General's strength and Primordial Energy Skill.
He knew very well that his strength wasn't enough to fight the Skeleton General, especially when it came to Speed. The difference was just too great. It was difficult for him to even dodge and stall for time.
The Skeleton General is stronger than me in every aspect. There's a high chance that he's a Legendary dimensional creature. It's impossible for me to fend him off, but he's not completely flawless. His bone spear is too long and isn't suitable for melee combat. Furthermore, the skeleton horse he's riding will definitely affect his lower three attack paths, causing him to have blind spots … Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to face the Skeleton General once again, turning his thoughts into reality.
At the instant the Skeleton General charged over, Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to advance instead of retreating. With a forward roll, he charged to the skeleton horse's left abdomen.
Zhou Wen's timing was impeccable, causing the Skeleton General to have no choice but to retract his spear and stab again due to the skeleton horse's obstruction.
By the time the Skeleton General stabbed down with its spear again, Zhou Wen had already crawled under the skeleton horse's abdomen and rolled to the other side.
After all, the skeleton horse wasn't the Skeleton General himself. It was difficult for the two to perfectly fuse, allowing Zhou Wen to find a chance of survival.
Unfortunately, the Skeleton General was just too strong. Zhou Wen had to constantly circle around the skeleton horse to avoid being stabbed by the bone spear. He had no chance to counterattack.
However, in less than thirty seconds, the blood-colored avatar was stabbed to the ground by the Skeleton General's spear. Blood immediately splattered the ground as it died on the spot.
Looking at the black screen, Zhou Wen carefully recalled the battle that had just happened.
He heard shouts and collisions as he turned a corner. Immediately, he saw Li Xuan and Jiang Hao fighting on the other side of the stone street.
And in reality, the Skeleton General was also there. In reality, the Skeleton General was dressed in a dyed cloak. The skeleton horse he was riding was tall and majestic, its body like jade. Its bone spear had terrifying barbs on it, and blood-colored flames burned in its eye sockets. It looked extremely ferocious.
This was a completely different existence from the cartoonish Skeleton General in-game. Zhou Wen almost couldn't recognize it.
What puzzled Zhou Wen even more was that the Skeleton General was charging around on the skeleton horse, but his target was ultimately Li Xuan. As for Jiang Hao, he treated him as air. He didn't attack Jiang Hao once from beginning to end.
Strange, why is the Skeleton General only attacking Li Xuan? Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown as he looked at the wretched Li Xuan, who was retreating while still suffering from injuries.
However, when Zhou Wen carefully sized up Jiang Hao, he immediately came to a realization.
It was unknown when Jiang Hao had a bone breastplate on him. Grayish-White ribs pierced out of his clothes, protecting his chest and back. It looked a little strange.
From the looks of it, the Skeleton General's refusal to attack Jiang Hao has something to do with the bone armor on him. Zhou Wen knew that it was likely a manifestation of a Companion Beast, but he didn't know what kind of Companion Beast it was.
Although Xu Miantu had a foul mouth, he didn't seem to be a bad person. When he saw Li Xuan in danger, he actually charged forward to help.
However, the outcome was obvious. In a single exchange, he was sent flying by the Skeleton General's spear. He rolled far away on the stone street and slammed into a brick wall before coming to a stop.
Xu Miantu arched his back like a shrimp as he held his abdomen with both hands. His mouth was filled with blood and his forehead was covered in cold sweat the size of beans. From his expression, he looked like he was in great pain.
"There's no rush to your death. Once I kill Li Xuan, I'll naturally send you on your way," Jiang Hao said coldly as the dagger in his hand stabbed at Li Xuan's vitals like a ghost.
Li Xuan was fighting one against two. Furthermore, he wasn't at the Legendary stage. He was only fighting with his Legendary Black Warrior Companion Beast, so it was rather difficult for him to hold on. The black armor on his body was damaged in many places as blood seeped out.
However, he had an extremely resolute personality. Despite being in such a dire situation, he was still able to maintain a clear mind, allowing him to avoid most of the lethal attacks.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan wasn't a true Legendary expert after all. Compared to the Skeleton General, he was inferior. Furthermore, he was being besieged by Jiang Hao. Every second was fraught with peril. If not for the Black Knight armor's extremely strong defense and the Invincible Connate Divine Art's ability to slow down the deterioration of his injuries, he would have long been killed.
Zhou Wen watched for a moment before suddenly shouting at Li Xuan, "Li Xuan, if I help you hold back the Skeleton General, how long will it take for you to finish Jiang Hao?"
Zhou Wen's words left Li Xuan, Jiang Hao, and Xu Miantu taken aback. The present battle was no longer something a Mortal stage could intervene in, much less a battlefield ordinary high schoolers could participate in.
Xu Miantu felt that Zhou Wen had to be crazy. Unfortunately, he didn't have the strength to speak; otherwise, he would have mocked Zhou Wen.
Although Jiang Hao didn't believe that Zhou Wen was crazy, he didn't believe that Zhou Wen could do anything. Even if he were to rush forward to help Li Xuan, he would only be throwing his life away.
"Two minutes. I need that much time," Li Xuan said without any hesitation as he risked his life.
