A city might be prosperous, but if the underground tunnels were dug up, it would be disgusting enough to see rats swimming among piles of trash and mud.
The same went for the old cassia tree!
It looked like it was growing on the swamp. Even though it was a little withered, it was still an environmentally friendly plant. However, when Mo Fan used the Order Magic to reveal its true appearance under the swamp, many of them vomited and fainted. They were so disgusted that it felt like their throats were stuffed with skeletons!
The dead soldiers were not moving on their own, nor had they turned into undead.
They were indeed dead, but their bodies were stuck in the branches of the Skeleton Ghost Tree. The bony claws were "holding" them and making them do the work of dragging people.
In other words, it was the bone claws that were grabbing the soldiers' bodies in the mud, preventing them from pulling themselves out.
However, the bone claws soon began to control the "corpses". They were like marionettes, allowing the "corpses" to grab the soldiers with greater strength and freedom.
The Life-Hanging Flies' job was to decompose the corpses faster so that they could adapt to the Skeleton Demon Tree's nature.
The corpses still needed to be guided by the bone claws. Their movements were stiff, like marionettes, but after they turned into skeletons, they basically became a part of the Skeleton Demon Tree. They were perfectly compatible with the Skeleton Demon Tree.
The Life-Hanging Flies were basically the digestive system of the Skeleton Demon Tree.
The Life-Hanging Flies were active around the swamp where the Skeleton Demon Tree resided. When they saw a living creature entering the territory of the Skeleton Demon Tree, they would immediately gather on the person's head and set up a spot.
The people only knew that when the Life-Hanging Flies appeared, it meant they were not far away from death.
However, they had no idea how the people died, or what happened to them under the mud.
As such, the locals treated the Life-Hanging Flies as a curse, a black prophet … little did they know, the Life-Hanging Flies were actually the culprit's gastric juices. Once a person stepped into the swamp, they were basically in the culprit's stomach!
"Kacha kacha kacha kacha!"
The soldiers that had died not long ago were barely left with skin and flesh.
Under the control of the leaves, the skeleton soldiers began to move again. It sounded like hundreds of unpleasant metal drums were being beaten.
The old cassia tree was turned upside down, and its true face was exposed in the air. However, the devil clearly did not feel ashamed or flustered. Instead, it made the 'skeleton puppets' stare at the federal soldiers!
Although the trap could cause the enemy to die in confusion, since the camouflage had been torn apart, they could only use force!!
The bones of the old cassia tree could be twisted and turned like a pedestal.
The bones and branches were flung away together with the skeleton soldiers that were pierced together.
White bones, bones with rotten flesh, bone claws that could move freely, and hundreds of ferocious skeletons that were flying in front of him, instantly formed a vortex of skeletons!
Although this scene was terrifying …
For some reason, in Mofan's eyes, it was more like there were hundreds of skeleton soldiers riding on a merry-go-round in front of him.
Mofan shook his head.
Perhaps there had been too many aunties and aunties on the Internet recently showing off their shameful girlish hearts, so Mofan felt that these skeletons and ghouls also wanted to ride a merry-go-round before they died …
Obviously, Mofan's calmness and creativity were not something that everyone had.
Many of the federal soldiers were already foaming at the mouth. All they saw were endless monsters. Their minds were no longer thinking about magic Star Orbits. Their minds were almost filled with the disgusting skeletons!
"I swear I don't want to see this monster again for the rest of my life."
"I'd rather die than become a part of this monster."
"Then use magic to kill it. Otherwise, the situation that you two least want to see will happen."
The soldiers were in a mess. They were in such a bad swamp. Many of them even stepped into the swamp out of fear.
They were scared and ran away.
They ran away in panic and did not know where to go. In the end, they fell into the swamp. If they did not climb out as soon as possible, they would soon be a family!
Mofan's reversal did not cover the entire swamp.
It was only reversing the positions of the old cassia trees, which were surrounded by the vast swamp.
If every old cassia tree represented a Skeleton Demon, they would be in the demon's nest right now.
Running away was the same as running into the demon's dinner table.
Mofan's powerful magic was not enough to stop his comrades from getting themselves killed. However, he had to show his real strength when facing the Skeleton Demon.
Officer Chimpanzee was still roaring. He would always say, "Shoot anyone who tries to run away."
Unfortunately, he could not kill the soldiers who were running away even with a machine gun. The fear of the swamp monster had made them lose their minds.
"Why is there such a monster lurking in the swamp so close to the city?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"What are we doing now?" Mofan asked.
"Fighting a war."
"That's right. It's the enemy's trick, "Mofan harrumphed coldly.
"Trick … trick?" Zhao Manyan's expression turned even stranger. "You call that a trick? It's a trump card!"
Officer Chimpanzee subconsciously moved closer to Mofan and the others.
Forneus seemed to have possessed his three stupid subordinates, so he should be safe when he was close to them.
"That thing is too scary. Half of them ran away before the fight even started," Officer Chimpanzee said.
"I think so …" Mofan was about to answer when he suddenly saw a dark blue light flashing on the swamp ahead.
The corner of Mo Fan's mouth rose.
It seemed that he had guessed the same thing.
"Come, let's go!" Mofan said to Zhao Manyan.
Mofan stepped on the swamp and used Earth Magic to form a piece of rock that looked like a surfboard under his feet.
Mofan glided across the swamp. He did not look like he was among the bones at all.
They arrived at the swamp. It was covered in moss that was as thick as mud.
Mubai was restraining a man in a black outfit with Ice Chains.
The man was wearing a brown turban, indicating that he was a member of the Brown Rebels.
He was holding a skull scepter in his hand. Its shape was similar to the Skeleton Demon Tree. It seemed like he was the one who had summoned the terrifying creature to the swamp to kill the soldiers of the Federation Army without alerting anyone!
"A Necromancer?" Zhao Manyan stared at the man with the brown turban and blurted out in surprise.
"Hehehe, so there are people with brains in the Federation Army," the Necromancer laughed. He did not seem to be panicking at all.
"We've seen through your trick," Mubai said.
