Just as Zong Yue and the rest were panicking, suddenly, the center of the ruins in the forest lit up. A white light shone from a pile of ashes. Boom! Ashes filled the sky, and two figures flew out from the white light. The ones who came out were Dumb and Xuanyue. They were not injured at all, only their clothes were a little messy.
It turned out that in the split second before the thunder and lightning collided with the Four Elemental Formation's Heaven and Earth Wu Wei Wei, Dumby teleported to the Black Moon and said four words to her. These four words were absolute defense. Even Dumby and Mystic Moon would not be able to avoid being injured by the shockwaves of the Milk Teeth's enormous shockwaves. Therefore, when they were preparing to use Thunder and Lightning, Dumby had already thought of a way to deal with the final shockwave. Xuan Yue reacted very quickly. When he heard Dumby say the words "Absolute Defense," he immediately came to his senses. For the first time, he activated the strongest defense of the Ring of Guardian. The pure white House High Horse instantly enveloped both of their bodies. Although the huge explosion caused a huge tremor to the barrier, it was unable to break through the final line of defense. Xuan Yue and Dumby could clearly see everything that was happening outside. Under the crazy and devastating energy, large tracts of the forest disappeared just like that. A huge cloud of dust and ashes enveloped the barrier of Absolute Defense, making it impossible for them to see what was happening outside. Xuanyue continuously channeled her divine energy into the Absolute Defense, controlling the strength of the Absolute Defense. When the defense disappeared, she and Dumb used their own energy to set up another layer of defense around their bodies. The tremors had gradually subsided. The Ring of Guardian had successfully protected Dumby and Mystic Moon's bodies with its absolute defense against all impacts, preventing them from suffering any injuries.
Feeling that the energy waves had calmed down, Dumb and Xuanyue rushed out from the ashes and saw a large piece of ash in front of them. Both of them were silent. Dumb always had a special feeling for the forest. Looking at everything in front of him, he could not help but feel a pain in his heart. He was filled with guilt for the destruction of nature. But the fact was already done, and they could not undo it.
Seeing Dumb and Xuanyue's silhouettes, Zong Yue hurriedly dashed in front of them and hurriedly said, "You two, where are our leaders? What are you doing? "
Xuanyue snorted angrily. He said, "Those hateful skeletons provoked us for no reason and destroyed this forest. Who knows where they are? Perhaps it has also been reduced to ashes like the forest. "
Zong Yue panicked and cried out involuntarily, "What? The few captains that came with Zong Yue all took out their weapons and glared angrily at Dumb and Xuanyue, looking as though they were prepared to take action at any time. The Four Skeletons were not only their captains, in the past few years, almost all of the Skeleton Army had received pointers from the Four Skeletons, causing their strength to soar. For them. Even if the Four Skeletons were their leaders, they were still half a master to them. The deep relationship built up over the years caused their eyes to immediately turn red when they heard the news of the Four Skeletons' death.
Dumb frowned, his True Qi suddenly burst forth. A white radiance enveloped himself and Xuanyue, and said indifferently, "This is all their own fault. However, your four captains might not be dead, hurry up and look for them. They should not be far away from here. " Although the Four Skeletons did not have a super defensive artifact like the Ring of Guardian, the Heaven and Earth Inaction that they released indeed contained a huge amount of energy. Relying on the power of the shock wave, it should have neutralized quite a bit of the explosive force. That was why Dumb was able to determine that they were not dead.
Zong Yue was suffering from blood cancer, so he did not have the time to seek revenge. He also knew that even the dead skeletons could not do anything to the two people in front of him, let alone them. To him, the most important thing now was to find the four captains of the Skeleton Mercenary Group. He hurriedly looked around with the other captains. Looking at their anxious appearance, Dumb's anger from before gradually subsided. Sighing, Xuanyue said, "Brother, how are you? Are your injuries serious? "
Xuanyue shook his head and said, "I only suffered a little shock just now. That Wind Skeleton's arrow was indeed powerful. I couldn't even see the shadow of the arrow, and it had already hit my body. Thanks to the Ring of Protection and the Phoenix Blood, otherwise, hmph, these Skeletons were too tyrannical. If we were a little weaker, I'm afraid we would have died in their hands. It's good that they are dead, there will be less trouble. "
Dumb shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, dad. They are just too competitive. The Ring of Protection's absolute defense is really strong. It protected us at the most crucial moment. Otherwise, under such a strong impact, it would be hard for us to avoid getting injured. " Thinking about the white radiance that did not seem powerful, Dumb subconsciously looked at the Ring of Protection on Xuanyue's hand.
"Ah, it's here!" Zong Yue shouted loudly. The Skeleton Mercenary Group immediately surrounded the place. Within the ashes, they found the bodies of the four Skeletons. Dumb pulled Xuanyue and flew up, landing behind Zong Yue. The four Skeletons cut a sorry figure. Although Dumb could feel that they still had a trace of life, the four of them had suffered serious injuries. Dumb's heart softened when he saw the sorry figure of the First Brother. Blood Skeleton's gray clothes were completely charred. More than half of his golden hair had disappeared. Even the remaining parts were charred black and stood upright. It was obvious that he had been hit by Northern Lightning's attack. Wind Skeleton's appearance was similar to him. Melancholic and Iron Skeleton's cultivation was the strongest among the four. Before the explosion, the two humans used Heaven and Earth's Inaction to withstand most of the pressure. Iron Skeleton also cut a sorry figure. Many parts of his heavy armor were shattered, and his helmet had fallen to one side, revealing his resolute face. His hair, beard, and eyebrows were all charred black. Ice Skeleton could be said to have suffered the lightest injuries among the four. She was the youngest and the only female among the four. Most of the attacks were blocked by her elder brother. She only suffered from the aftershock. However, even though she had baby teeth, she still fainted from the powerful impact. Her helmet fell to one side, and her silver armor was severely damaged. More than half of her golden hair was charred black. Her long hair draped over her face, covering her face. Only the fair skin of her neck could be seen. Her body was spasming slightly, as if she was enduring endless pain even though she was unconscious. Even though the four skeletons were not dead, they were heavily injured, which made Zong Yue feel helpless. Especially the Blood Skeleton and the Wind Skeleton, they were not only heavily injured. Not only were their internal organs severely injured, but many of their meridians were ruptured, causing some of their internal organs to bleed. Their situation was very critical. If they did not receive effective treatment as soon as possible, it would be very difficult for them to keep their lives.
Dumb also noticed the situation that Zong Yue discovered. She took a few steps forward and walked around Zong Yue to the side of the dead skeleton. The Skeleton Mercenary Group's captains immediately blocked in front of Dumb. Among them, the captain of the Blood Skeleton Mercenary Group's personal guard was the most irascible. After seeing the appearance of the Blood Skeleton, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart. The Slaughter Sword in his hand stabbed towards Dumb.
Dumb's eyes shot out two rays of cold lightning towards the person in front of her. With a flick of her hand, a white ray of light shot out and immediately deflected the Slaughter Sword into the air. She said coldly, "If you don't want the skeletons to die, then get out of the way. Don't you know that they will die even if we don't treat their injuries?"
Just as the captain of the personal guard was about to explode, he was stopped by Zong Yue. Zong Yue stood in front of him and looked at Dumb. He asked doubtfully, "Are you saying that you are willing to save our captains?"
Xuanyue moved to Dumb's side and said angrily, "Big brother, don't mind them. They were the ones who provoked us first. We don't have the obligation to treat them. Let them die so that other people won't die in their hands in the future. If we can't save them, we will withdraw from this mission. " From the ice skeleton to the provocation of the four skeletons, Xuanyue had been suppressing her anger for a long time. She was born in the Holy Holy Hall. When had she ever encountered such provocation?
Dumb sighed and said, "Forget it, brother. We are all here to protect the caravan. There isn't any deep hatred between us. Let's save them this time. I think that after this incident, they won't come to provoke us again. Brother, you are an expert in this field. Treat these two seriously injured skeletons first and stabilize their condition. "
Although Xuanyue hated these skeletons, she couldn't bear to refute Dumb's words. She snorted and angrily said to Zong Yue and the others, "What are you waiting for? Do you think you can stop us?"
Zong Yue held back the few squad leaders who were about to explode. He respectfully bowed to Xuan Yue and said, "Captain, I apologize to you on behalf of our squad leaders. As long as you can save them, I promise that I will definitely convince them not to cause trouble for you in the future. Thank you. " The four skeletons were already at the brink of life and death. Zong Yue, who had a calm personality, naturally had to consider their lives.
After hearing Zong Yue's pleading words, Xuanyue's heart softened. She nodded lightly and walked past Zong Yue and the others. She walked to the front of the Blood Skeleton and the Wind Skeleton. Although the two of them were seriously injured, they were nothing to the Holy Light Magic, which specialized in healing. Xuanyue thought about it and roughly calculated the date of their arrival at the Gold Sky Mountain Range. Only then did she start chanting the Light Magic Recovery Incantation. A faint golden halo was emitted from Xuanyue's body and enveloped the four skeletons on the ground. The warm divine aura caused Zong Yue and the others to feel refreshed. When they saw the faces of their captains gradually turn rosy, their anxious hearts relaxed. Gratitude appeared in the depths of their eyes. After all, both sides were enemies. Not only did Dumb and Xuanyue not kill the four skeletons despite having the upper hand, they even healed them. This kind of moral character made them secretly admire them. When they thought about how the Skeleton Mercenary Group treated their enemies in the past, they lowered their heads in shame. Under the effect of the golden light, the injuries of the Blood Skeleton and the Wind Skeleton gradually stabilized. Their damaged meridians were repaired by the divine energy, and the clotted blood in their bodies was forced out. However, Xuanyue did not completely heal their injuries. With her own power, they would need to rest for a period of time before they could return to normal. The ice skeleton and iron skeleton were in relatively better condition. The ice skeleton's injuries were the lightest. She had basically recovered from her injuries. The iron skeleton was also in a much better condition. It was just that it had used up too much energy and was temporarily in a daze.
Xuanyue took a deep breath and put away the Angel's Staff. She said to Zong Yue, "Take these skeleton platforms away. They won't die. They will recover after resting for four or five days." After saying that, she walked towards Dumb without turning back. Dumb looked at her with a questioning gaze. He knew that with Xuanyue's ability, she could completely heal these skeletons.
Xuanyue's voice sounded in Dumb's mind. She was using the undulations of her mental power to talk to Dumb. This method was similar to using telepathy. "Big Brother, these skeletons provoked us twice. They are too despicable. How can we not teach them a lesson? Don't worry. They will recover with their own abilities. Let's go, let's go back first. " After he finished speaking, he pulled Dumby's big hand and walked towards the direction of the camp. Dumby originally wanted to say something, but when he thought about how Xuan Yue was injured previously, he held back. These unruly four skeletons indeed deserved some punishment.
The two of them quickly returned to the camp. Just now, Mulaz saw the ashes in the forest flickering with a golden radiance. Just when he was hesitating whether he should go over or not, he was overjoyed when he saw Dumb and Zong Yue returning. He went forward to welcome them, "You two, you finally returned. This, what exactly happened?"
Xuanyue cast a glance at him and said, "Big Brother and I are tired and hungry. We will rest in the carriage tonight. You can find a place to sleep. Just now, it was a few Lu Lu who overestimated themselves who tried to provoke us. However, we have dealt with them. You better find a place for them to rest. Otherwise, if there are any side effects, don't blame us. "After saying that, she pulled Dumb into the carriage.
Mulaz laughed bitterly in his heart. This was troublesome. It seemed like the four skeletons were heavily injured! The Heaven's Evil Mercenary Group was worthy of being called a special rank mercenary group. They actually defeated the four leaders of the Skeleton Mercenary Group with just the two of them. It seemed like he had to curry favor with them in the future. Not only was it cheaper to hire them, it might even be more secure. With their ability to destroy the forest, even if the army came to rob the caravan, there was nothing to be afraid of. While thinking, Zong Yue and the rest had already carried the four skeletons back. The Ice Skeleton's helmet was once again placed on her head, covering her delicate face. Looking at their sorry state, the members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group were all silent. Even if they used their feet to think, they would know what had happened. The four leaders who were like gods in their hearts were defeated just like that. They were defeated by two people who were not that old. There were a few hot-tempered mercenaries who wanted to take revenge on Dumb and Xuanyue, but they were stopped by Zong Yue and the other banner captains. After Xuanyue used light magic to save the lives of the few leaders, these banner captains only felt admiration and gratitude towards Dumb and Xuanyue.
Upon entering the carriage, Dumb hurriedly pulled Xuanyue's hand and used his True Qi to check the condition of her body. Sure enough, it was just like what Xuanyue said, her injuries were not too serious. Only then did he feel relieved.
Xuanyue asked impatiently, "Big Brother, what kind of technique did you use just now! Was it a martial technique or magic? How could it actually attract the heavenly lightning to attack? When the four skeletons used that whatever Heaven and Earth Inaction, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to withstand it, but I didn't expect that they would be blown away by the heavenly lightning you attracted. Haha, just thinking of their hair standing on end makes me very happy. "
Dumb smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, we were still too careless. Those four skeletons were not easy to deal with. If we were to only talk about strength, the four of them are basically no match for us. However, the power of the four elemental formation that they used at the end was very compatible. It was able to display 120% of their strength. If it wasn't for the Intersecting Lightning, I would have to use the Hell King's Sword to have a chance of winning. But even so, we still relied on this divine weapon to not be injured. We still have to be a little more careful in the future. I am still not proficient in the Intersecting Lightning, so I am still unable to display its full power. It is very easy to injure myself. Today, it was all thanks to the absolute defense of the Ring of Guardian. Otherwise, we would have been affected. This technique is one of the three ultimate techniques passed down to me by grandmaster. If I can defeat the highest realm with this technique, I'm afraid it will really have the power to shake the heaven and earth. "
Xuanyue giggled. Previously, Dumb's concern for her made her heart warm. She yawned and said, "Big Brother, I'm tired. Let's sleep." After saying that, she lay down on the soft cushion on the left side and rested.
The next morning, the four skeletons woke up one after another. The Blood Skeleton and the Wind Skeleton had already lost their ability to fight. The Iron Skeleton and the Ice Skeleton's strength had also been greatly reduced. The four skeletons looked at each other's sorry figure in the tent that Mu Lati had arranged for them. They looked at each other in dismay, their faces revealed a grave expression. Although they didn't know what happened after the explosion, they clearly understood that they were defeated. Moreover, they were defeated so miserably that even the strongest elemental formation was unable to harm them.
The Iron Skeleton snorted and broke the silence, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Fourth Sister, what happened to you guys? Ever since we formed the Skeleton Mercenary Group, we have never been this dispirited. We lost, but under the effect of the Heaven and Earth's Wuwei, those two brats might not be feeling any better. Perhaps, their injuries are even more serious? In any case, I have nothing to do and am hungry now. Other than my body being a little weak, I didn't suffer any injuries. "
The Blood Skeleton heaved a sigh and said, "You felt that you didn't suffer any injuries because someone had treated us at that time. During the explosion, I could clearly feel the damage caused by the energy impact on my body. My internal organs suffered a very strong impact. However, when I woke up today, my injuries were much lighter than I had imagined. There is only one explanation for this, an expert had treated us. "
The tent's curtain was suddenly lifted. Zong Yue walked in from outside. When he saw that the four captains were awake, he was immediately overjoyed, "How is it? Are you guys alright?"
The Blood Skeleton sternly said, "Zong Yue, what actually happened yesterday? I mean after we fainted. "
Zong Yue looked at the four skeletons. Letting out a sigh, Zong Yue told the four skeletons about how Xuan Yue saved them from beginning to end. The four skeletons' expressions became more and more grave. After listening to Zong Yue's narration, their hearts sank to the bottom. The iron skeleton asked unwillingly, "Old Zong, are you sure you're not wrong? They didn't even suffer any injuries? "
Zong Yue nodded and said, "What I said is the truth. The two captains of the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group didn't suffer any injuries. Even their clothes weren't damaged in the slightest."
The Blood Skeleton dejectedly said, "It seems like Master's situation will continue on us. This disciple of Tiangang Kensei is really too powerful. Even the Heaven and Earth's Wuwei can't injure him. I'm afraid that his strength has already reached the Sword Saint realm. We owe him a favor. Old Zong, pass down my order. From now on, no one from the Skeleton Mercenary Group is allowed to harass them. "
Zong Yue nodded and took out a dagger from his bosom. He handed it to the injured Blood Skeleton and said, "Captains, tidy up your appearances first. You can't meet people like this."
The Blood Skeleton looked at the Wind Skeleton beside him and touched his charred hair. He said to Zong Yue, "Old Zong, Ma Fa, tell President Mu Laz to prepare a carriage for us. Our injuries haven't healed yet. I'm afraid that we'll have to spend the rest of our time in a carriage before we reach the Heavenly Gold Mountain Range. At the same time, find a few sets of full body armor. I want those with helmets."
Only then did the Iron Skeleton realize that his hair had changed after being struck by the lightning. He glanced at the Ice Skeleton beside him and awkwardly coughed.
The Ice Skeleton naturally understood what he meant. He coldly snorted and took off his helmet. "Third Brother, what do you want to see? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself? " Blue Extreme Ice Qi suddenly erupted and froze his charred hair. He casually waved his hand, and his golden hair, which originally reached his waist, was instantly cut to less than half. It only reached his shoulders. The Ice Skeleton's appearance could only be seen by a few of the highest ranking members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group. Her face was as cold as ice, and a pair of light blue eyes flashed with a cold light. Although her appearance was beautiful, she was like a giant that was thousands of miles away, causing the Naha people to not dare to approach her. The two consecutive defeats had completely shattered her confidence in herself. Although her injuries were the lightest, her mental state was the most serious.
The Blood Skeleton knew his sister the best. He sighed and waved the dagger in his hand. In an instant, his burnt hair, beard, and eyebrows were all shaved off. Then, she tossed the Dao to Wind Skeleton beside her. After a while, Wind Skeleton and Iron Skeleton also became bald, just like her. The three of them looked at each other in dismay, and all of them smiled helplessly.
The caravan set off again. However, the Skeleton Mercenary Group's captains did not appear. The members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group had a strange feeling. Although they had not failed the mission, they knew that the undefeated legend of the Skeleton Mercenary Group had been broken by just two people.
Seven days later, the Stan Emperor Alliance's caravan arrived near the Golden Sky Mountain Range, which bordered the Duru Province and the Yakin people of the Suo Region Federation. The caravan stopped and set up camp in a forest less than ten miles away from the mountain range. Mu Laz ordered the caravan members to gather the carriages carrying the goods. Zong Yue commanded the Skeleton Mercenary Group to form a circle around the periphery and set up tents. At this point, she had no choice but to be cautious. She personally found Zong Yue and asked, "Captain Zhang, how are the captains doing? The most dangerous part of our journey is up ahead. Can they help the caravan get through this?"
The Four Skeletons had completely recovered after recuperating for the past few days. However, they had not appeared in front of the mercenary group because of the depression from their defeat and the shedding of their hair. Zong Yue said, "President, don't worry. The captains have already recovered. As long as the bandits in the Golden Sky Mountain Range hear the name of the Skeleton Mercenary Group, they should not have any ideas." Two years ago, the Skeleton Mercenary Group had crossed paths with the bandits here. The bandits had suffered heavy losses, but the Skeleton Mercenary Group had successfully escorted the caravan to the destination. It was also that mission that had made the Skeleton Mercenary Group famous and allowed them to enter the realm of special-class mercenary groups. Zong Yue was confident in dealing with the bandits. The Skeleton Mercenary Group was much stronger than it had been two years ago. Moreover, there were two people in the caravan who were even stronger than their captains. With their strength, he was not worried about any problems.
Mu Laz sighed and said, "It's better to be careful. I'll have to trouble you to inform the captains. I'll go to their tent later to discuss tomorrow's itinerary. "
Zong Yue said, "Alright, the captains have not been in a good mood for the past few days. You must pay attention to what you say later."
Mu Laz said, "I know. However, the biggest obstacle in front of the caravan is the Skeleton Mercenary Group and the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group. We were the ones who invited the Skeleton Mercenary Group and the Heavenly Evil Mercenary Group. I hope that everyone can calmly discuss this matter together and strive to smoothly overcome the difficulties in front of us. For the sake of the whole, please advise the captains not to do anything foolish. That won't be good for the caravan or themselves. "
Zong Yue sighed. Thinking about Dumb and Xuanyue's formidable strength, he could not help but feel dejected. Now that things had already turned out like this, why would the four captains still provoke them? The Skeleton Mercenary Group's limelight had already been completely suppressed by those two.
Half an hour later, when the camp was completely set up, Mulat invited Dumb and Xuanyue to the four skeletons' tents. Dumb and Xuanyue did not feel unhappy at all. Even though they would inevitably feel a little awkward when facing the four skeletons, they still believed in it. After the "exchange of pointers" a few days ago, the four skeletons wouldn't look for trouble with them anymore.
Mulac coughed. He said, "Are the team leaders here? I'm Moraz. I'm here with the two leaders of the Heaven's Evil mercenary group. "
The Blood Skull's deep voice rang out. "Guild Leader Mu and the two commanders, please come in." His voice was extremely calm, and no emotions could be detected from his expression.
Mulac lifted the curtain and entered the tent with Dumb and Xuanyue. The four skeletons were all there. They were sitting on the bed that had just been made not long ago. Every one of them was wearing a full set of armor. Including their heads, they were completely covered by the armor. Only their hands were exposed. It was very obvious that their hair and eyebrows were not enough to make them look despicable. Dumb clearly felt that when he and Xuanyue walked into the room, the four skeletons emitted a sharp murderous aura at the same time.
Dumb did not mind it at all. It was inevitable that they were hostile towards the two of them. For the past seven days, he and Xuanyue rarely left the carriage. Under normal circumstances, they would meditate in the carriage. Although the bumpy carriage was not a good place for cultivation, with their extraordinary spiritual power, they had fully absorbed the energy they had obtained in Memu City. The golden body in Dumb's Dantian had absorbed a small part of the second golden body's energy and grew a little taller. His power was improving a little every day, and he was progressing towards an unknown realm through the gradual accumulation. Although Xuanyue's progress was not as labyrinthine as Dumb's, the holy aura on her body was getting denser. Every move she made would emit a faint gentle energy. When he was with her, Dumb's mood was always at peace, which was very beneficial to Dumb's power improvement.
Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the tent, Mulat coughed again and said, "Captains, let's not bother about the previous misunderstanding, Bully. Since we're on the same side, can we let go of our grudges and work together to get through the current crisis? Isn't that better?" As he spoke, he brought Dumb and Xuanyue into the tent and sat down.
Iron Skeleton snorted coldly and said, "Since your caravan has hired such a strong mercenary group like Heaven's Wrath, what's the use of our Skeleton Mercenary Group? Why don't we retreat and let these two escort you to Andis City?"
Mulat was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly, "I-I didn't mean that. It's just that the goods this time are too important to us, so we have to be more cautious!"
Blood Skeleton glared at Iron Skeleton and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, President Mu. My brother has a bad temper, please don't mind him." He looked at Dumb and Xuanyue and said, "The two of you saved us before, we, Blood Skeleton, will remember this favor. However, we won't forget the humiliation you gave us. If there's a chance in the future, we'll definitely ask for your advice again."
Xuanyue snorted coldly and said, "Haven't I taught you enough? You want revenge? We welcome you at any time. But I'm afraid you don't have the ability. "
Just when the Iron Skeleton was about to flare up, he was stopped by the Blood Skeleton. The killing intent of the four skeletons became even more intense. They didn't utter a single word, and just stared at Xuan Yue with eight beams of cold light.
