Ghost Skeletons were much more troublesome to deal with than normal Skeleton Soldiers. After Xi Ling destroyed another wave of Ghost Skeletons, Ling Chen didn't linger any longer. He ran as fast as he could. His goal in the Forest of Bones was to reach the center of the forest. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to fight with any of the monsters here.
With Little Gray leading the way, Ling Chen didn't make any mistakes as he headed straight towards the center of the Forest of Bones. Luckily, although the Ghost Skeletons could float, their movement speed wasn't fast enough. The waves of Ghost Skeletons that appeared around him were easily left behind by Ling Chen. At this point, he had only travelled a quarter of the way to the center of the forest. The difficulty of this Quest was a bit too much.
Just as he was about to step out of the second region, a large cloud of white smoke suddenly appeared in front of Ling Chen, causing him to stop in his tracks. A dangerous aura came from ahead … within the smoke, a giant skeleton wearing a grey cloak appeared. It looked similar to the Ghost Skeletons, but it was 10 times bigger. Ling Chen frowned, and took a step back.
"Hahahaha ~ ~ ~"
The laughter was incredibly ear-piercing. The giant skeleton's body flipped in the smoke, and a black scythe appeared in its hand. It then disappeared from Ling Chen's sight, and reappeared in the air.
[Soul Reaper]: Type: Undead, Level: 20, Grade: Lord, HP: 200000. A giant skeleton that gathers a large amount of gloomy aura. It doesn't have any destructive abilities, but it can greatly affect a living being's soul, and it can instantly destroy a living being.

How could there not be a Lord boss in this Forest of Bones that was littered with bones? The huge skeleton in front of them was a Lord ranked Ghoul monster! Although it didn't have any offensive abilities, it could strengthen one's own side and weaken the enemy. It could also release a terrifying attack that would make the target float 100% of the time and have a high probability of instant death.
It had to be dealt with immediately!
When Ling Chen summoned his weapon, he discovered that the Soul Reaper was already hovering ten meters in the air … This distance was something his attack couldn't reach!
"Hehe … Hahahaha …"
An eerie laughter that came out of nowhere echoed in the wind. In the blink of an eye, the originally empty sky was suddenly filled with grey shadows. One after another, Ghoul Skeletons quickly appeared in the sky, practically covering the entire sky. At a glance … there seemed to be close to a hundred of them!
Ling Chen's heart sank. If he was surrounded by these Ghoul Skeletons, in this place where other skeletons could jump out at any time, it would be extremely difficult to escape … Moreover, the sudden appearance of these Ghoul Skeletons seemed to have firmly surrounded Xi Ling in the middle of the air.
"Xi Ling!! Destroy it immediately!! "
As Ling Chen shouted, Xi Ling's Wild Flames had already been unleashed. In the sky full of flames, the sea of Ghoul Skeletons that got close to Xi Ling were destroyed before they could even attack. The Soul Reaper was also swept by the flames. With a strange cry, a "31378" damage number floated up above its head.
The Soul Reaper was instantly enraged. Its aggro quickly shifted from Ling Chen to Xi Ling. Following an indescribably sharp whistle, the Soul Reaper released its "Voice of the Netherworld". All of the Ghoul Skeletons instantly increased their speed as they rushed towards Xi Ling.
These Ghoul Skeletons could hover ten meters in the air. No matter what Ling Chen did, he couldn't reach them. Moreover, pets that were in battle couldn't be summoned back. Thus, he could only leave everything to Xi Ling. Although she couldn't immediately use Wild Flames again, Xi Ling's most basic fire attack was still a nightmare for these Ghoul Skeletons. As the flames sprayed out, all of the Ghoul Skeletons that got close were killed.
Flapping its wings twice, two balls of crimson flames incinerated a dozen or so Nether Skeletons nearby into a pile of broken bones. Then, with a shrill cry, a ball of flames lit up on its body, and a scarlet ray of light suddenly shot down from the sky, accurately penetrating the Soul Reaper's body.
Crimson Ray!
-83490！
A frightening damage that almost reached 100,000 instantly reduced this powerful Level 20 Lord's HP to less than half, causing it to let out an extremely painful roar. Under the cloak, two spots of dark green light burst out. A cloud of pitch-black fog began to condense on the Dark Scythe in its hand. In the blink of an eye, it had condensed into a black ball of light the size of a fist. At this moment, the cooldown time of Xi Ling's Wild Flames had also reached zero. With a flap of its wings, a large expanse of flames sprayed forward, enveloping the last wave of Ghoul Skeletons and the Soul Reaper … Almost at the same time, the Soul Reaper threw the black ball of light in its hand towards Xi Ling.
With Little Gray's Eye of the Holy Spirit, the information from the black ball of light was instantly transmitted to Ling Chen's mind. His pupils shrank, and he roared, "Xi Ling, dodge!"
The crimson flames enveloped all the skeletons in the sky, killing all the last 20 Ghoul Skeletons and destroying more than 30,000 of the Soul Reaper's HP. The black ball of light from the Soul Reaper also passed through the flames, heading straight for Xi Ling. The speed of the ball of light was not fast, but Xi Ling had just completed the action of casting Wild Flames, and her body was temporarily frozen. Even if she heard Ling Chen's shout, she could not dodge at all, and was hit directly by the Soul Reaper's ball of light.
That ball of light was the Soul Reaper's most terrifying skill — once hit, there was a 30% chance of triggering instant death [Soul Reaper]!
After Xi Ling became a pet, her innate ability did not have the ability to resist abnormal statuses other than burning. Watching as Xi Ling was hit by the Soul Reaper, Ling Chen could only silently pray that Xi Ling's luck would not be so bad … However, what appeared in front of him was the result that he did not want to see the most.
The black ball of light exploded after hitting Xi Ling, and gray smoke instantly spread to Xi Ling's entire body.
"Ding … your pet 'Xi Ling' has triggered the 'instant death' effect, and is now dead."
Ling Chen: "!!" (No way!! She hit it on the first try!?)
Under Xi Ling's final Wild Flames, a large number of broken bones fell from the sky. The sky that was originally filled with skeletons was now only left with a Soul Reaper that had lost three-quarters of its HP. Xi Ling's body was enveloped in a layer of dim grey light, and fell powerlessly from the sky. In the process of falling, a ball of red flames suddenly ignited on its body, and within the flames, its' 0 'HP was instantly restored to full. Its body then transformed into a ray of red light, and automatically returned to Ling Chen's pet space.
"Ding … your pet 'Xi Ling's' skill 'Nine Suns Rebirth' has been activated, and has now been revived without any losses. However, in the next hour, it cannot be summoned or engaged in battle."
Although Xi Ling's HP was weak, it had an extremely abnormal resurrection skill — Nine Suns Rebirth. Furthermore, this was an unbelievable unlimited resurrection skill. However, this skill was obviously not perfect. Every time it revived, it would be unable to battle for the next hour.
Ling Chen raised his head, and looked at the Soul Reaper that had already lost its greatest enemy … Xi Ling, you should rest well. This is also good, I can't always rely on you like this.
From now on, I can only rely on myself in the Forest of Bones!
The Soul Reaper still had more than 50,000 HP, and without its companions, its threat dropped by a level. This was because the only way it could defeat its enemies was with the instant death skill 'Soul Slash'. It flew back and forth in the air, giving off strange ear-piercing noises. After the cooldown period ended, a black light, similar to the one that had caused Xi Ling to undergo rebirth, gathered in its hands, and was thrown towards Ling Chen.
The attack speed of 'Soul Reaper' could hit Xi Ling, but it definitely couldn't hit Ling Chen. However, Ling Chen didn't even look at it, nor did he dodge, and allowed the ball of light to hit him. If this was the 'Soul Annihilation Chant' that could cause 100% sleep, he would have dodged it. However, 'Soul Reaper' had no effect on him at all. His Lunar Scourge had a Darkness Crystal that he had obtained from the Ghastly Grounds … it was completely immune to darkness, curses, and instant death statuses.
Poof!
The black ball of light exploded next to Ling Chen, and the grey light dissipated. Ling Chen wasn't affected at all. Ling Chen couldn't be bothered to waste any time, and said in a low voice, "Now, it's my turn to attack."
Turning around, leaning to the side, he raised his left hand and threw a [Shooting Soaring Cloud] at the Soul Reaper. With a distance of ten meters, the speed of a meteor, and the most precise positioning, the unprepared Soul Reaper had no chance of dodging.
"Get down here!!"
Bang! 2415！
Without any suspense, the Soaring Cloud hit the Soul Reaper, piercing through its body and shooting it down from the sky. Ling Chen quickly rushed forwards, and before its body even touched the ground, he activated 'Soul Sacrifice', increasing his damage greatly. He then used 'Moon Shadow' to freeze its body in mid-air, and caught the Soaring Cloud that had fallen from its mouth, and continuously used 'Ling Tian Slash'.
-7035, -7421, -7022, - 14062 … …
The Soul Reaper's defence wasn't as good as a normal Skeleton Soldier's. Under the explosive attacks of Ling Chen's dual weapons under the effect of Soul Sacrifice, before Moon Shadow's effect disappeared, its remaining HP was completely emptied. Only then did its body completely fall from the sky, smashing onto the ground and scattering into a pile of broken bones.
