Stepping over the bodies of the two gigantic skeletons and walking through the thorny ground, Ling Chen had already passed through the entire fourth region. After passing through the fourth region, a large number of broken bones piled up like a small hill in front of him, blocking a large portion of the path in front of him.
"Ding … You have arrived at the danger zone 'Ten Thousand Bone Ruins'."
Ten Thousand Bone Ruins? Ling Chen stopped in his tracks and looked at the countless bones piled up in front of him. A chilly wind blew past his ears, like the low moans of demons. A strong rotting smell filled every inch of this place, causing people to feel nauseous. Fortunately, Ling Chen had already gotten used to the smell here. At the same time, he would not be so naive as to think that these bones and ruins were just a bunch of ruins.
Taking out the map, Ling Chen's current position was already very close to the heart of the Forest of Bones, less than two kilometres away. This vast stretch of ruins was perhaps the last line of defense. There was definitely some huge danger hidden here … Little Gray's reaction was the best proof — because Little Gray, who had been leading the way for Ling Chen, was now standing still in front of Ling Chen, not moving forward for a long time.
It had already been more than two hours since he had entered the Forest of Bones, and there was not much time left. Even if he knew that there was danger ahead, he still had to move forward.
"Little Gray, let's go!"
Grasping Soaring Cloud and the Zephyr Blade tightly, Ling Chen rushed forward at high speed. At the same time, he raised his guard. Very quickly, his footsteps reached the edge of the first ruin. At this moment, a horrifying scene began to unfold in front of Ling Chen …
In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet and still world began to boil. Countless broken or rotting bones began to move or dance in the air, then quickly assembled into different types of skeletons … Ling Chen had seen all of these skeletons before. There were Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Wolves, Nether Skeletons, Skeleton Archers … All kinds of skeletons that he had seen on his way here were present. However, this formation and number of skeletons seemed to be more than all the skeletons he had seen before.
Piles of broken bones flew everywhere, and waves of skeletons appeared one after another. Ten, a hundred, a thousand … In the end, all the ruins disappeared, and the ground became flat and pale. Countless skeletons filled his entire field of vision, like a tide that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Ling Chen took a step back and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
These skeletons didn't have any ranks. They were the most ordinary skeletons that Nie Yan had encountered in the Forest of Bones. Dealing with one or two, or even a dozen of them was a piece of cake. However, the skeletons in front of him numbered in the thousands, or even tens of thousands. Even ants could bite an elephant to death, and this was even more so for these skeletons. To Ling Chen, they weren't as simple as' ants'. Compared to his attack power, his HP was relatively weak. It was not much higher than an ordinary player of the same level. If he was attacked by a few skeletons at the same time, he would not be able to last more than a few rounds.
What kind of joke was this?! How could any player pass through a skeleton formation of this scale?! Let alone Level 10, even Level 30 or 40 would not be possible. Was this quest purely a scam?!
As Ling Chen gritted his teeth, the skeleton formation began to move. The fastest skeletons were the Skeleton Wolves, and in the blink of an eye, they had already closed the distance between them and Ling Chen. The black mass of skeletons was like a surging tide, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Ling Chen's scalp went numb. However, it was not easy to reach this point, and he was not willing to turn tail and run. Staring at the large group of Skeleton Wolves that were getting closer and closer, Ling Chen's tightened heart became calmer and calmer … this should be the last obstacle to the heart of the Forest of Bones. To pass through this obstacle, there was only one possibility!
Ling Chen took a deep breath and raised Soaring Cloud and Zephyr Blade. The only possibility was to charge towards this group of skeletons, and then use his AOE ability to instantly kill them. Then, while running, he would attack as fast as he could. From the head of this skeleton army, he would be like a flying bayonet, piercing through the back of the army … and to accomplish this, there were two essential factors … the first was that his movement speed was faster than these skeletons, otherwise, he would be caught up from behind and attacked from the front and back. The second was that he had to be able to instantly kill these skeletons. Otherwise, if he was unable to instantly kill them, his attack would still be blocked, and once he was blocked, his advance would come to a halt. Once he stopped, he would fall into the dense skeleton army, and at that time, it would be impossible for him to escape.
Amongst these skeletons, the movement speed of the Skeleton Wolves was slightly faster than his, but in this situation, he had no other choice.
Charge!!
A cold glint flashed across his eyes. When the Skeleton Wolves at the front were only a few meters away from him, his body shot out like an arrow from a bow. He met the Skeleton Wolves head-on. He raised his right hand and created a circular arc that covered a distance of five meters in front of him amidst the howling wind.
Bang bang bang bang …
There were too many Skeleton Wolves, and they were too densely packed together. Ling Chen's attack directly swept away 7 Skeleton Wolves, all of them instantly killed, and an extremely short vacuum appeared in front of him. He did not stop moving forward, and after his right hand, his left hand swung out Soaring Cloud, and another Ling Tian Slash enveloped the area in front of him. After the chaotic sounds of collision, another large group of Ghost Wolves were swept away. As for Ling Chen, he had also charged forward for a distance of nearly 10 meters, and had truly plunged into the army of skeletons. He gritted his teeth, and ran forward at a speed that exceeded his own limits. He did not look to his side or behind him at all, and only his hands were waving at the fastest speed possible. Little Gray, on the other hand, ran back and forth behind him … Normally, when fighting against monsters, Ling Chen would attack with both weapons at the same time to achieve the highest damage or the largest attack range in an instant. However, at this moment, his hands were waving out in a crisscrossed manner, with his left hand followed by his right hand, and his left hand followed by his right hand. His attack speed was 120, and if he attacked with both hands at the same time, he would need to attack once every 0.8 seconds on average. With both hands alternating, the interval between each Ling Tian Slash was less than 0.5 seconds. With such a dense number of insta-kills, not a single one of the skeletons were able to get close to him. As Ling Chen ran, wave after wave of skeletons fell to the ground. In front of him, there was only an empty space, and the countless skeletons were unable to stop him at all.
Moreover, because the Skeletons were too densely packed, the Skeleton Soldiers that Ling Chen had left behind not only could not catch up to him, but also blocked the Skeleton Wolves that could catch up to Ling Chen from behind because of the excessive number of Skeletons. This made Ling Chen's final worry disappear. His spirit was unwavering, and his hands were waving forward at a speed that left others speechless, maintaining the exact same frequency. Occasionally, he would drink a bottle of Dark Blue Potion. Although his attacks were dense, Ling Tian did not consume much Mana. On top of that, he now had a Maximum Mana of 470 and a large number of Dark Blue Potions on him, so he did not have to worry about running out of Mana.
Fifty meters … eighty meters … one hundred meters …
Miraculously, Ling Chen was like a sharp bayonet, unimpeded, plunging into the army of Skeletons without pause. Not a single Skeleton could touch his body. If he only had one weapon in hand, Ling Chen would definitely not be able to do this. With two weapons in hand, everything happened so naturally.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Chen had already dashed to the center of the Skeleton Army. As he ran, countless Skeleton Soldiers died in front of him. The huge Skeleton Army was like a pile of useless decorations in front of Ling Chen.
Good, if I continue like this, I will soon be able to completely pierce through this Skeleton Army … Ling Chen's footsteps and hands did not have the slightest pause. He knew that if he stopped for even a moment, he would fall into it. At this time, he was in the center of the Skeleton Army. At that time, not to mention piercing through, it would be impossible to even escape.
Bang bang bang bang …
Bang!!
The most unexpected thing happened. Facing a group of normal Skeleton Soldiers in front of him, after Ling Chen's Ling Tian Burst swept across, one of the Skeleton Soldiers that should have been instantly killed unexpectedly did not fall. Ling Chen, who was running at his fastest speed, was caught unprepared. He was unable to stop his footsteps and heavily crashed into the Skeleton Soldier that had not been instantly killed. At the same time, the Skeleton Soldier's information appeared in his mind …
[Skeleton Captain]: Type: Undead, Level: 20, Grade: 1 Star Elite, HP: 1,600 … …
Ling Chen: "I!!! @ # ¥% … …" "@ # ¥% … …"
Normally, this 1 Star Elite wouldn't have been placed here. However, at this time, its appearance seemed to have forced Ling Chen into an irrecoverable situation. The Skeleton Captain's 1600 HP made it impossible for Ling Chen to insta-kill it. With this strike, the Skeleton Captain was knocked to the ground, and Ling Chen, who had a strong sense of balance, took a step back, but did not fall. In this short period of time, countless skeletons flooded towards him from the front, back, and sides.
Damn it … …
"Four Corners Star Formation!!"
He raised his Zephyr Blade and instantly cast a Four Corners Star Formation … … This was the only way he could take a breather. Following the explosion of the Four Corners Star Formation, all of the Skeletons within 10 metres of him were sent flying. However, this did not mean that the danger was over. Because of Ling Chen's pause, the Ghost Skeletons that had been shaken off or did not have enough time to attack gathered in the air above him. Countless Bone Spikes shot towards him from all directions like a storm. In front of him, hundreds of Skeleton Archers had already drawn their bowstrings and pointed their arrowheads at him. Then, hundreds of Skeleton Archers shot their arrows at him … … If not for this short pause, he would have already shaken off these Ghost Skeletons before they could even release their arrows. These Skeleton Archers wouldn't even have the time to draw their bowstrings before they were swept away by him.
The arrows in front of him were like rain, and the hundreds of Bone Spikes around him blocked off all of his escape routes. The surrounding Skeleton Monsters also swarmed forward, filling up the space cleared by the Four Corners Star Formation in the blink of an eye. Ling Chen had no other choice. He raised his right hand, and the Lunar Scourge released a pitch-black light. Under the "Moon Shadow", everything within 16 metres was frozen … including the Bone Spikes and Skeleton Arrows.
