Camp: King Solin of the Skeletons (2)

After confirming its location, Ji Chen called all the troops stationed outside the area to come over and establish a defensive line on the road leading to the city gate. The majority of their forces were directed towards attacking the skeleton creatures within the camp.

The situation had now shifted from blocking the skeleton creatures inside the camp to preventing those outside from entering, all in an effort to buy time to defeat the enemy’s skeleton leader.

This marked a complete tactical reversal!

Despite having already slain two or three tens of thousands of skeletons earlier, there were still around sixty thousand skeleton creatures alive.

About half of them were within the camp, surrounding the enemy’s skeleton leader.

This number certainly didn’t daunt them, considering they had previously overcome opponents numbering two, three, or even several times this amount.

Led by Anina’s sharp command, the army pressed forward relentlessly, aiming straight for the enemy’s core.

Realizing that they couldn’t halt the advance no matter what, the skeleton leader chose to retreat rather unceremoniously.

It dove into the sea of skeletons and headed towards the depths of the camp.

Of course, Ji Chen couldn’t let it escape.

This was a green Heroic Soul Essence, capable of granting an additional green hero to the Crown of the Ocean!

As the saying goes, when in doubt, unleash Anina.

“Anina, it’s up to you now. Pursue quickly!”

Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Dragon Whale sighed in resignation, took up her sword, and began chasing.

Under Ji Chen’s command, the army cleared a path for Anina and systematically began eliminating the skeleton creatures.

Before long, they arrived before a colossal skull-shaped structure.

Compared to the lower-grade bone forge, this intermediate-grade one was much larger, standing over ten meters tall, with an open mouth large enough to accommodate skeleton giant lizards entering and exiting.

Ji Chen waved his hand and stashed it away in his bag.

This way, their journey into the skeleton realm had yielded a significant haul.

Looking around, Ji Chen saw Anina still in pursuit of the skeleton leader.

Seeing this, he led the army to join the chase, providing support for the kill.

Soon, the skeleton leader, who had been cornered within the camp all this time, found itself forced into a corner.

Realizing there was no way to retreat any further, it suddenly surged with a will to survive.

After all, it was a green-tier skeleton leader, commanding an army of a hundred thousand skeletons. It felt rather embarrassed to be pursued like this.

It just couldn’t believe that a tiny being like Anina could defeat it!

With this thought, it raised a bone axe and charged towards Anina.

Seeing this scene, Daro’s expression turned somewhat odd.

He had witnessed Anina’s strength before. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call her the strongest individual fighter among the Crown of the Ocean’s forces. For a mere green-tier skeleton leader to even think about striking her with a weapon was simply suicidal.

The outcome was apparent – Anina swiftly unsheathed her broadsword and cleaved both the bone axe and the green-tier skeleton leader into two. The skeleton army immediately lost control and descended into chaos.

Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Very good! A neat and tidy kill!

Just as he was about to approach and claim the green Heroic Soul Essence, a commotion outside the camp reached his ears, accompanied by ground vibrations.

In the sky, several dark dots appeared.

Narrowing his eyes, Ji Chen’s expression changed drastically.

These dark forms were none other than skeleton dragons!

Dragons were formidable creatures, each possessing the power to easily destroy a city.

Although their strength would decrease significantly after transitioning from the noble dragon race to the skeleton one, they still retained a considerable degree of power that shouldn’t be underestimated.

Thus, the moment these skeleton dragons emerged, Ji Chen immediately inspected their attributes.

[Skeleton Wyvern]

[Race]: Skeleton

[Tier]: 5th Tier, 1-star

[Skills]: Deathly Breath (Red skill, exhales a highly corrosive breath that damages both flesh and soul, causing enormous harm)

Bone Toxin (Purple skill, claws carry poison, inflicting strong negative effects like paralysis on enemies)

Resistance (Purple skill, increases physical and magical resistance by 30%, ignores most negative effects)

Flight (Blue skill, flight speed increased by 100%, limitless stamina)

[Unit Trait]: Dragon Bloodline (Former Skeleton Wyvern possessed a trace of dragon bloodline. Even after becoming skeleton dragons, they still possess robust vitality and can automatically repair injuries)

[A powerful flying unit among the skeleton race, with formidable attack and assault capabilities]

Oh, damn it!

5th Tier, 1-star!?

Ji Chen’s face gradually turned grim.

He hadn’t expected his first encounter with a 5th Tier unit to happen in this situation. Moreover, the crucial point was that these 5th Tier units were not on his side; they were the enemies’.

Without a doubt, this group of Skeleton Wyverns was an enemy force, arriving with boundless malice.

And if there were such formidable beings, the intentions behind their arrival were likely clear.

With this realization, Ji Chen’s heart sank.

Gritting his teeth, he immediately gathered all his troops and heroes, assembling them together as if facing a formidable adversary.

Gritting his teeth, he immediately summoned all the troops and heroes to gather together, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The tremors in the ground gradually subsided, and the chaotic skeleton creatures around regained their composure.

But what surprised them was that these skeleton creatures didn’t launch an attack; instead, they retreated hundreds of meters, creating an open space.

The dozen or so Skeleton Wyverns hovered in the air, emitting a piercing friction sound as they circled as if they were welcoming the arrival of their master.

A highly elite skeleton legion, surpassing even those commanded by Yaska, strode through the city gates. As they advanced, the skeleton creatures in their vicinity cleared a path.

However, at a glance, Ji Chen’s eyelid twitched.

Though their numbers weren’t numerous, slightly over ten thousand, each of them was at the 4th Tier, with an average of 4th Tier, 3-star.

Comparing this to his own army with only half of its units at the 4th Tier, he couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

What’s the point of fighting this battle?

Even disregarding those dozen or so Skeleton Wyvern, just trying to deal with this skeleton legion would likely result in his forces suffering heavy losses!

This skeleton legion also made way, and dozens of 4th Tier skeleton creatures carried a massive bone sedan chair as they walked in.

A skeleton figure, adorned with black armor, crowned with a regal crown, and wielding a longsword, stood within it.

The bone sedan chair gradually stopped, and the skeleton figure wearing the crown lifted its head, eyes flickering with golden flames.

There was an almost divine aura about it.

By this point, even the usually obtuse Daro had guessed that this crowned skeleton figure was the owner of this skeleton realm—the Skeleton King.

[Skeleton King: Solin Horton]

[Race]: Skeleton

[Level]: 50

[Tier]: Red-Legacy Tier

[Master of the Skeleton Realm, holds absolute control over all skeleton creatures]

Level 50.

Red-Legacy Tier.

This power surpassed Ji Chen’s imagination by far.

Especially with a level as high as 50, it was the highest he’d ever seen for a monster leader. Moreover, with his current level at 31, there was a staggering 19-level gap between them, an immense chasm.

Level represented magical strength and mana points.

Ji Chen was a Tide Dominator, an orange-tier legendary class. While he might have been confident in an aquatic environment, in a disadvantageous swamp like this, facing such a colossal level disparity, he had little faith in defeating it.

As Ji Chen scrutinized Solin, Solin was also observing him.

Was this human the one who had thwarted the skeleton invasion last time?

Not only did he dare to counterattack the Skeleton Realm this time, he rapidly conquered several skeleton camps, even dispatching the skeleton leader and army sent by it.

It was evident that this human’s army possessed substantial strength.

And this human himself, he seemed to possess audacity and strategy.

With these thoughts, a trace of admiration crept into Solin’s heart, mixed with a sense of satisfaction.

Only individuals like this had the qualifications to become its subordinates, leading its forces to conquer the world!

Though it lacked eyes, Ji Chen could sense that the Skeleton King, Solin, had been sizing him up all along. For some inexplicable reason, he felt like Solin was rather satisfied with him?

Thinking about this, he broke into goosebumps all over.

Damn it, this Skeleton King couldn’t possibly be gay, right!?

But that’s absurd!

Just as Ji Chen was shivering involuntarily, the Skeleton King, Solin, spoke, emitting a voice from its skeleton body..
