Within the range of Lunar Shadow's effect, everything would be frozen, as if it had been cast into a space where time was still. The only person who could move freely was Ling Chen. Sixteen meters away, the skeletons that attempted to rush in, as well as the bone spikes and arrows that were flying towards him, were all completely frozen when they touched the edge of Lunar Shadow's effect. They were unable to move at all under Lunar Shadow. Ling Chen gasped for breath, then moved his body, quickly bypassing the direction where the bone spikes and arrows were concentrated. Both of his weapons struck out together, killing all the surrounding skeletons that approached him. However, the effect of Lunar Shadow only lasted for a short five seconds. After five seconds, he would once again be buried by these skeletons.
Let's fight … There's already no way out. Let's pray for a miracle to happen!
He clenched his fists tightly. After five seconds, he would most likely die in the skeleton army, but other than this, he had no other choice.
Three seconds … Two seconds … One second … When Moon Shadow's effect was down to the last second, he abruptly rushed out, but just as he took a step, he abruptly stopped. The throbbing from the Pet Space made him shout out in surprise …
"Xi Ling!!"
An hour had passed since Xi Ling's Nine Suns Nirvana until now. She had finally recovered to her summonable and combat-ready state.
All the pressure on his body instantly disappeared without a trace. As he relaxed, the corners of Ling Chen's mouth curled up. The moment the effect of Lunar Shadow completely disappeared, he shouted, "Xi Ling!"
With a long cry, red flames shot out from Ling Chen's body, straight into the sky, outlining Xi Ling's extremely beautiful body. As the effect of Lunar Shadow disappeared, the originally still bone spikes and skeleton arrows rushed over like a black mass of locusts. However, five seconds was enough for Ling Chen to find the safest place to dodge. Although these bone spikes and flying arrows were densely packed, not a single one touched his body. And the moment Xi Ling appeared, it meant the beginning of these skeletons' nightmare.
Hu …
The originally cold air suddenly became incomparably hot. In the midst of the scorching wind, a large amount of red flames sprinkled down from the sky, enveloping the Netherworld Skeletons in the air and the 30-meter radius around Ling Chen. Wherever the flames touched, these skeletons instantly died. The terrifying destructive power of the flames was enough to instantly kill them dozens of times.
A large area of vacuum appeared around Ling Chen's body, and the air was filled with a thick smell of rotting bones. Ling Chen quickly swept his gaze across the endless skeleton army, and then rushed towards the skeleton archers who had pulled their bowstrings again. He waved his hands, clearing them like cutting straws. At the same time, he shouted, "Xi Ling, Burning Heavenly Fire Formation!!"
Chirp ~ ~ ~
Xi Ling accepted the order, and let out a long cry that pierced through the sky. The surface of her red body suddenly ignited with red flames, and with the flames burning all over her body, Xi Ling flew around a circle that was more than ten meters in diameter, and flew faster and faster … As she flew, the rootless flames slowly sprinkled down from her body, and then slowly gathered into the circle that she was flying around. In the blink of an eye, it had become a red fireball that was more than ten meters in diameter. It was as if a red sun had suddenly appeared, and the sky had already been dyed red. Then, this "red sun" suddenly exploded, and the dancing flames scattered in all directions, covering a distance of two hundred meters horizontally.
The air became incomparably hot, and the pale white sky had already turned red. When the scattered rootless flames fell down, they were like bombs that had been detonated, bringing with them flames that soared into the sky. Immediately, with Xi Ling's body as the center, a huge sea of fire with a diameter of two hundred meters formed, burying countless skeleton soldiers.
In the flames that were like a disaster from hell, these skeletons did not even have the slightest chance to struggle, and all of their lives were instantly burned away, turning into charred bones on the ground. Those skeletons that were at the very edge, and were lucky enough not to be burned, did not have the smarts to escape … They did not have their own consciousness, and did not know how to escape at all. They still mechanically walked towards Ling Chen's direction, and rushed into Xi Ling's Burning Heavenly Fire Formation, and instantly died.
Could this be the power of the legendary Forbidden Spell … Ling Chen, who was also in the sea of fire, naturally did not receive any damage, but this kind of scene was enough for him to remain in shock for a long time. In the boiling boundless flames, countless skeleton soldiers practically all fell in an instant. In the distance, those that did not fall also rushed headlessly into the fire, seeking their own deaths. The Burning Heavenly Fire Formation could cover an area of a hundred meters, this kind of attack range was terrifying to the point of suffocating people. One could imagine, in a guild war where there were many players, if this kind of Burning Heavenly Fire Formation was used on the enemy's side, the destructive power would be terrifying. It was simply indescribable.
"Ding … You have successfully killed 9 LV20 One Star Elite Skeleton Captains, SP + 180, Fame + 180."
"Ding … You have successfully killed 4 LV20 Two Star Elite Skeleton Commanders, SP + 160, Fame + 160."
"Ding … You have successfully killed 7 LV20 One Star Elite Skeleton Wolves …"
"Ding … You have successfully killed 3 LV20 Three Star Elite …"
"Ding …"
… …
… …
"Ding … You have leveled up, now LV17, HP + 20, MP + 20, Strength + 5."
"Ding … Your pet 'Holy Spirit Beast' has leveled up, now LV17, HP + 200, MP + 5, Physical Defense + 20."
"Ding … Your pet 'Chiling' has leveled up, now LV15, HP + 40, MP + 1000, Physical Attack Power + 10, Magic Attack Power + 300."
Under the Burning Heavenly Fire Formation, it was unknown how many skeleton soldiers were destroyed, and among them were also a large number of One Star, Two Star, and Three Star Elites. The Burning Heavenly Fire Formation did not burn for long, and the mixed sound of the system notification did not stop ringing in Ling Chen's ears. At the same time, with so many LV20 monsters destroyed, Ling Chen's LV16 experience bar directly filled up, and he rose together with Little Gray to LV17. Xi Ling also rose to LV15, and still needed the last 20% to rise to LV16.
When the system notification finally stopped ringing, Ling Chen quickly opened his own attribute panel … SP had already increased to 4120 points! Compared to before, it had increased by more than 2000 points.
This was going against the natural order … Ling Chen was so excited that he bared his teeth. Previously, this huge skeleton army made his scalp go numb, and now, in front of such a huge reward, he could not wait for this kind of skeleton army to come again. From the obtained SP, the ratio of elites in this skeleton army was actually quite shocking. At least it far exceeded the ratio of elites that would appear in a normal monster group.
More than 4000 SP, it was already enough to raise any of his current skills apart from Soul Sacrifice by one level, but Ling Chen was still not in a hurry to use it. Closing the attribute panel, he looked ahead. At this time, the Burning Heavenly Fire Formation had already started to quickly extinguish, and the temperature of the air was also dropping. In a short few seconds, following Xi Ling's descent, the surroundings were only left with clusters of flames that could be extinguished at any time, and in his line of sight, there were only piles of broken bones and ruins, not a single skeleton monster still standing.
Under the Burning Heavenly Fire Formation, all the skeleton monsters were completely annihilated, not a single one was left.
Although he was mentally prepared, this result still made him lightly suck in a breath of cold air. When he looked at Xi Ling, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably. This skeleton army that had almost forced him into a hopeless situation was actually wiped out in an instant by Xi Ling's hands. Although he had always felt that Xi Ling was a little too strong, he was still fiercely shocked at this time. Even Little Gray, who was under his feet, raised his head and stared straight at Xi Ling, his sparkling eyes filled with worship.
"Xi Ling, you did it so beautifully." Ling Chen sincerely sighed. At the same time, he silently thought that other than the girls in "Heart's Dreams", he could not let anyone else know of Xi Ling's strength, otherwise it would definitely cause a huge uproar. In addition, Xi Ling was the strongest power he had, and also his final trump card. If there was a day when it was necessary, he would definitely reveal it at the last moment, and it would definitely have a shocking effect.
After receiving Ling Chen's exaggeration, Xi Ling also excitedly flapped her wings a few times, then flew to Ling Chen's shoulder, expressing her intimacy with him.
Ling Chen smiled slightly. He would never forget that under the dusky sky, on the gloomy mountain ridge, there was a beautiful girl dressed in red, who called him "big brother", and who was willing to destroy her own existence for him.
The skeleton army was obviously the last obstacle to reaching the center of the Forest of Bones, and Ling Chen could not think of any more terrifying obstacle than this. His current position was slightly more than a kilometer away from the center of the forest, and the objective of this mission was already very close, and would be completed very soon.
"Xi Ling, Little Gray, let's go!"
After surviving a great disaster, there was bound to be good fortune later on. In the end, this skeleton army did not stop Ling Chen, but instead gave him more than 2000 SP and reputation points, and even allowed him to directly level up. Ling Chen continued forward, and very quickly stepped out of the Thousand Bones Ruins. In this period of time, he did not meet any more skeletons.
"Ding … you have reached the center of the Forest of Bones."
After passing through the Thousand Bones Ruins, Ling Chen finally arrived at the center of the Forest of Bones. Standing on the ground that was also covered with bones, Ling Chen looked ahead, and his expression changed slightly.
It was completely different from what he had imagined. In the center of the Forest of Bones, what he saw was not some powerful skeleton monster, nor was it a mountain of skeletons … What appeared in front of him was actually … a tall castle!
That's right, this was actually a castle. It was a white castle that wasn't made of bricks and stones, but of white bones!
This castle was tens of metres tall, and every part of it was made of bones. He did not know what kind of method or strength was used to tightly glue these broken bones together, as if there were no gaps at all. Looking at the countless number of skeletons on the surface of the castle, it would make one shiver in fear.
This castle … What was going on? Weren't there only skeletons here? Could it be that skeletons could build castles?
Ling Chen raised his left hand, activating the camera function on his wristband, and took a picture of the castle. At the same time, the mission notification sounded in his ear.
"Ding … you have reached the center of the Forest of Bones, and have discovered what exists in the center of the Forest of Bones. You have successfully completed the mission [Forest of Bones]."
"Ding … you have successfully completed the mission [Forest of Bones]. You have obtained the mission: [Wind Chasing Bandana], [Amethyst Armour (Lower)], [Middle Level Life Crystal], SP + 150, Reputation + 150, Luck + 1, Perception + 1."
