If one were to look down from above, one would see Jichen and his group surrounded on all sides.

White skeletons were densely packed around them, forming a ring like a delicious white donut.

However, they were getting closer and closer to the crystal apparatus.

Seeing this scene, the flames flickered in the eyes of the skeleton leader as he swung his huge axe once again. contemporary romance

A wave of hidden skeleton archers emerged, disregarding the presence of their own kind, and unleashed a rain of arrows.

Jichen’s pupils contracted.

Damn it, there’s another wave of skeleton archers hiding!

Seeing the arrows rain down from above, he didn’t hesitate. He urgently shouted, “Stop advancing! Take cover behind the Naga warriors and Murlocs! Avoid the arrow shower!”

After speaking, he pulled Alice and took cover behind the broad back of a Naga warrior.

Upon hearing his words, the sea pixies quickly flapped their wings and cautiously flew behind the Naga warriors.

The Murloc Rangers took cover behind their distant relatives, the sea pixies.

The bony arrowheads couldn’t penetrate the scales of the Naga warriors and Murlocs.

Most of the units successfully avoided the arrows, but the elite pirates weren’t so lucky.

Their numbers were already considerable, and they were responsible for the rear defense.

The limited time didn’t allow them to evade the arrow shower in time.

In a moment of panic, the arrow rain ruthlessly poured down on the terrified elite pirates.

Swish—

“Ah!!”

Screams of agony echoed.

Jichen turned around and couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly.

Under the onslaught of the arrow shower, the pirates lay in pools of blood.

Over ten elite pirates, unable to dodge in time, were struck in vital areas and collapsed, riddled with arrows.

There were also over thirty people who suffered varying degrees of injuries.

“Ding – Elite Pirate (LV9) has died.”

“Ding – Elite Pirate (LV9) has died.”

“F*ck!”

Ji Chen couldn’t help but curse.

These elite pirates were all sailors of pirate ships.

Later on, their ability to set sail would depend on the remaining elite pirates!

If they suffered too many casualties here, his dream of becoming the Pirate King would be dashed!

Suppressing the anger welling up inside, Jichen swiftly located the position of the skeleton archers.

“Sea pixies, unleash two rounds of Arrow Rain to cover the target area!” he commanded urgently.

Boom-

Preventing the skeleton archers from launching a second volley, a torrent of water arrows surged forward, completely engulfing them in a powerful cascade of energy.

Once the area was cleared, Jichen gave the order to advance.

Having learned from the previous encounter, he became increasingly cautious.

Whenever he spotted potential skeleton archer positions on the map, he responded with a swift barrage of water arrows.

The fortunate outcome was that they unintentionally eliminated several hidden waves of skeleton archers.

However, the setback was that the sea pixies were experiencing significant mana depletion.

Fortunately, their progress quickened, and now they were merely a couple of hundred meters away from the crystal device.

Before them stood not the feeble white skeletons, but the daunting figures of the pitch-black, iron-like black skeletons.

Yet, at that moment, all the skeletons abruptly halted their attacks.

The skeleton leader’s mouth moved, and to everyone’s surprise, a raspy voice emanated from his throat.

“Human, if you retreat now, I can overlook your previous actions. In the presence of our great king’s arrival, I can even request the king to subjugate you as a leader of the foreign races and spare your life.”

In response, Jichen’s disdainful gaze was the only reply.

“What a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp. You’re talking about me becoming a leader of the foreign races? I suggest you wash your brain with the nearby seawater and see what’s inside. Oh, by the way, you can also tell your so-called king that if he’s willing to kneel down and beg me, maybe I’ll show him mercy and let him be my lackey.”

Jichen’s words dripped with contempt and mockery, instantly infuriating the skeleton commander.

It angrily shouted, “Human, how dare you insult the great king! I will tear you to pieces!”

“Once the gate stabilizes, the endless horde of skeletons will engulf this world.”

“On what grounds?” Jichen sneered and made a sarcastic gesture.

The massive horde of skeletons began to stir once again. This time, it was not just the white skeletons but also the black skeletons and skeleton dogs that swarmed forward.

“Murloc Rangers, launch your bone spears!”

Hundreds of bone spears shot out, impaling numerous skeletons to the ground. But when they hit the black skeletons, they simply bounced off.

The attacks from the Murloc Rangers, who were at the second-tier and five-star level, fell short against the formidable defense of the black skeletons.

Jichen glanced at the distance between him and the crystal device. The timing was almost right.

“Alice!”

“Understood!”

The sound of singing filled the air, and the skeletons centered around Alice instantly entered a state of stupor. Even Jichen, the green-elite-ranked skeleton commander, was greatly affected. The flickering flame of the soul in his eye sockets shook violently, and the mental connection with other skeletons was almost severed.

This was the wide-range spell group attack!

This was why Jichen had refrained from using Alice until this crucial moment. He needed to conserve his mana for the most important time.

“Full assault! Target: Crystal Device!”

The sea pixies spared no expense in using their mana as their staves swung repeatedly. Water arrows rained down like rockets, swiftly carving out a path through the advancing horde of skeletons.

Jichen glanced at the nearby skeleton spellcasters, who were also affected by the singing. He commanded the sea pixies to unleash a few rounds of Water Arrow Rain on them as well.

The unfortunate skeleton spellcasters were blown to pieces before even having a chance to join the battle.

In just a few short minutes, they plowed through the sea of skeletons, effortlessly cutting down the defenseless undead creatures. It was much faster than before.

They were now less than a hundred meters away from the crystal device.

He was less than a hundred meters away from the crystal device.

When the Skeleton Commander saw this scene, it roared crazily, resisting the influence of the song.

If humans were allowed to destroy the crystal device, their dream of invading the world would be shattered.

And the king would not let it go!

He would never allow this situation to happen, even if it was at the cost of his soul!

The flames in the eyes of the skeleton commander flickered intensely as it desperately tried to communicate with the other skeletons. But to its despair, no matter how it urged and commanded, all the skeletons remained motionless, as if they had lost their will.

Meanwhile, the human and marine creatures were now less than a hundred meters away.

The skeleton commander gripped its massive axe and boldly positioned itself in front of the crystal device, blocking their path.

Jichen’s face showed a hint of astonishment as he saw the skeleton commander obstructing the crystal device. He then glanced at Alice’s condition.

Casting the Enchanting Melody on such a large number of skeletons consumed mana at an alarming rate. In a few more minutes, their mana would be depleted.

If they couldn’t destroy the crystal in time, they would be trapped in an endless sea of skeletons once again.

Today, they might be destined to stay here.

A determined look flashed in Jichen’s eyes. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a blood-red bead.

[Raging Blood Bead]

[Rank]: 2-star treasure (Group)

[Effect]: When used, it allows allies within a range of 100 meters to enter a berserk state for 5 minutes, increasing all attributes by 30%. After 5 minutes, they enter a weakened state for 30 minutes.

This was a treasure obtained from the previous expedition to the Kobold Cave.

It could significantly enhance the attributes of all units in a short period of time.

Using it at this critical moment was the most appropriate choice..
