The moment Jiang Hao died, his Companion Beasts dissipated. The Explosive Scaled Snake and the Companion Beast that had transformed into bone armor exploded, transforming into Primordial Energy that dissipated into the world.
Li Xuan didn't have as much time as Xu Miantu to let his thoughts run wild. After finishing Jiang Hao, he charged at the Skeleton General and shouted at Zhou Wen, "Zhou Wen, I'll attract his attention. Find an opportunity to deal him a fatal blow."
"Alright." Zhou Wen retreated. Just as the Skeleton General was about to turn around to chase after him, Li Xuan had already punched the skeleton horse's head.
This was a punch that contained the Strength of a Black Knight, but it only managed to make the skeleton horse's head tilt slightly as it staggered.
"I swear to defend the city to the death …" The Skeleton General was enraged as the flames in its eyes flared. It let out a sorrowful roar as it charged at Li Xuan with spear in hand.
Li Xuan relied on the Strength of a Black Knight to barely hold his ground against the Skeleton General, but he was completely suppressed. He had no means of retaliating.
Zhou Wen circled the skeleton horse, preventing the Skeleton General from having a chance to attack him head-on. From time to time, he would throw out Vigor Divine Fist, striking the horse's leg or body. It affected the skeleton horse's movements, giving Li Xuan a chance to catch his breath.
The two of them attacked the Skeleton General together, but they were still in a state of chaos.
The Skeleton General in-game doesn't seem this powerful? Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled. He was certain that the Skeleton General in-game wasn't that strong.
It wasn't just in terms of Strength and Speed. The most important difference was that the Skeleton General in-game had a single attack pattern. It was obvious that it was an NPC in-game. As for the Skeleton General in real life, it was clearly more intelligent and self-aware than the Skeleton General in-game. Its combat experience was completely different as well. It was more like a general that had experienced hundreds of battles.
Zhou Wen hadn't seen such a phenomenon on ordinary Skeleton Soldiers. Be it the Skeleton Soldiers in-game or in real life, they were all the same. There was no difference.
What's going on? Zhou Wen was momentarily unable to figure it out.
Bam!
Li Xuan was struck in the chest by the Skeleton General's spear, sending him flying. He tumbled for about eight meters before coming to a stop.
"This Skeleton General is a little odd. It seems to be getting stronger!" Li Xuan crawled up from the ground and endured his injuries as he charged forward again. At the same time, he shouted.
If it were an ordinary Mortal stage being suffering such heavy injuries, they probably wouldn't be able to survive even with a Legendary Companion Beast protecting them.
However, Li Xuan's Invincible Connate Divine Art was indeed powerful. He could still fight energetically.
In the past, Zhou Wen had only heard of how powerful an Epic Primordial Energy Art was. Only after seeing it today did he realize how huge the difference was.
The Ascetic Meditation he cultivated was the same as the Invincible Connate Divine Art. They were both Primordial Energy Arts that focused on strengthening one's physique, but in comparison, the effects were far inferior. If he had suffered the same injuries as Li Xuan, he probably wouldn't have been able to get up.
Indeed, I still need to cultivate a top-notch Primordial Energy Art. But where can I get one? This isn't like a Primordial Energy Skill that can drop in-game. Zhou Wen was somewhat vexed.
In the schools of the Earth Federation, especially in universities, there were many kinds of Primordial Energy Arts taught, but at most, they were at the Legendary stage. There wasn't even a single Epic stage Primordial Energy Art. Zhou Wen couldn't cultivate one of that level even if he wanted to.
"Bro, stop daydreaming. Quickly help me finish him off." Li Xuan yelled as he was pursued by the Skeleton General. His black armor was on the brink of shattering.
However, Zhou Wen had no intention of helping. All he said was, "It's useless if I go up. My strength isn't enough to seriously injure him. I think it's best I flee."
"Don't you have a weaponized Companion Beast?" Li Xuan shouted.
"I have a Mortal Companion Beast. Although it augments my Strength greatly, it's still ineffective against such a Legendary stage dimensional creature," Zhou Wen explained.
"A Mortal Companion Beast?" Li Xuan was instantly rendered speechless.
The higher the level of a dimensional creature, the easier it was to condense dimensional crystals. The chances of producing a Companion Egg were also higher. Instead, it was very difficult for low-level dimensional creatures to produce Companion Eggs.
Therefore, the monetary value of a Mortal Companion Beast might be higher than his Legendary Black Warrior Companion Beast. But at this moment, monetary value was useless.
"That's bad. Although my Black Warrior Companion Beast has a certain Strength enhancement, its main enhancement is still in defense. Strength isn't its specialty … Damn it … If I had known this would happen … I should have learned a few Primordial Energy Skills with sufficient destructive power … Or incubated a Legendary Companion Beast with Strength …" Li Xuan said regretfully.
"If it wasn't for the black armor protecting you, you would have died countless times. It's useless even if you have a Power-type Legendary Companion Beast," Zhou Wen said with a shake of his head.
Li Xuan no longer had the time to speak to Zhou Wen. He was nearly stabbed in the thigh by the Skeleton General.
The Black Warrior Companion Beast couldn't increase its Speed, so Li Xuan was unable to dodge the Skeleton General's bone spear. All he could do was rely on the black armor to withstand it. He looked tragic, as though he would be stabbed to death by the Skeleton General at any moment.
The skeleton horse was just too fast. Li Xuan wasn't at the Legendary stage, so he couldn't even escape.
"Zhou Wen, I beg you. Save Brother Xuan." Xu Miantu struggled to get up as he pleaded loudly.
At that moment, Xu Miantu was no longer as ostentatious as before. Instead, he treated Zhou Wen as his pillar of support.
In his heart, Zhou Wen was no longer the high school student from a small city. Just a Mortal Companion Beast wasn't something the average person could possess. From his point of view, Zhou Wen definitely had an extraordinary background.
Furthermore, Zhou Wen's previous performance made Xu Miantu believe that he had the ability to save Li Xuan if he was willing.
Zhou Wen pondered for a moment and said, "It's not completely impossible, but I don't know if it will work."
"We have to give it a try," Xu Miantu said.
Zhou Wen nodded slightly as he sized up the Skeleton General. Inwardly, he was thinking about the battle he had with the Skeleton General in-game.
He had fought the Skeleton General several times in-game, but it wasn't completely without results. From his observations, the Skeleton General did have a weakness.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't sure if the Skeleton General's weakness in-game existed in the Skeleton General in reality. After all, the Skeleton General in reality was a lot stronger.
At this point in time, Zhou Wen could only give it a try.
Seeing Li Xuan being pursued by the Skeleton General, Zhou Wen secretly circled to the Skeleton General's left. As he gradually approached, he sought an opportunity.
Without needing Zhou Wen to say a word, Li Xuan knew that he needed to create an opportunity for Zhou Wen. When the Skeleton General thrust its spear at him again, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and wrapped the black armor around his left abdomen to withstand the strike.
The bone spear's tip stabbed into the black armor, tearing apart Li Xuan's muscles. Taking advantage of the moment the bone spear wasn't retracted, Li Xuan grabbed it tightly with both hands.
