Chapter 188: The Same Move Is Useless Against Me

Ye Bai was being chased and hunted by a massive number of skeleton soldiers, which emitted the *crack-crack* sound of bones rubbing against each other; looking down from above, it was somewhat terrifying, and there were several times when Ye Bai was nearly swallowed by the sea of skeletons.

However, Ye Bai was calm and unhurried; he still had a trump card he hadn't used, and the Sunflower Emperor was enough to handle any difficulty.

He had just observed through his Insight Eye that the black-robed person wearing the bird-beak mask was not simple, so he wanted to see what kind of trump card this guy had.

This guy was surrounded by dense swarms of black crows, and he watched everything around him, his face hidden behind the sharp bird-beak mask.

A massive number of skeleton soldiers surged forward like a tsunami.

The air emitted a *crack-crack-crack* sound, which was hair-raising.

The ground gave off a slight tremor, and a behemoth slowly walked out from the depths of the white bones; its figure appeared even more ferocious and terrifying under the illumination of the scorching sun—it was a white-bone giant three meters tall.

Its skeleton was formed by the condensation of smaller skeleton soldiers, and faint phosphorescence flickered between the bones, emitting wisps of white smoke under the sun's radiance.

At every moment, a skeleton soldier would turn into black ash under the sun's exposure, and its Soul Fire would merge into the white-bone giant's skull, making it grow even more vigorous.

Every step the white-bone giant took was accompanied by a heart-palpitating grinding sound between its bones.

Inside the white-bone giant's hollow eye sockets burned blue Soul Fire, and one could faintly see wisps of Soul Fire surging in from afar; within the Soul Fire, an unformed, deep-blue Soul Crystal had also appeared.

It seems the deaths of the Corpse Vulture and the Iron Armor Savage Snake have caused the skeleton soldiers to begin becoming more Strong.

Ye Bai also observed that after some skeleton soldiers consumed too much Soul Fire, their bodies underwent mutations.

The originally dilapidated armor and rusted blades had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The bones of these skeleton soldiers changed from white to black, and the Soul Fire in their pupils became even more scorching.

Their names had also changed.

【Name: Black Iron Skeleton Soldier】

【Gender: Agender】

【Attribute: Ghost (Undead)】

【Trait: Iron Bone: The white bones on its body will be as hard as steel.】

【Level: Third-Order Peak】

【Mastered Skills: Sturdy (Proficient): The white bones on its body are harder than steel.

Bone Resurrection (Proficient): After receiving fatal damage, it can restore its body by devouring Soul Fire.

Corrosive Bone Sword (Proficient): The bone sword in its hand carries a corrosive aura; if it hits an opponent, the wound will cause a rotting effect.

】

【Evolution Path: Silver Skeleton Soldier; devour a massive amount of Soul Fire to complete evolution; quantitative change triggers qualitative change; a single Undead Calamity can allow a small portion of skeleton soldiers to evolve into even more powerful existences.】

【Evaluation: The Black Iron Skeleton Soldier has already begun to gestate a Soul Crystal, but please note that the Soul Crystal cannot be exposed to sunlight, otherwise it will directly evaporate and dissipate; light-type skills are the eternal nemesis of skeleton soldiers.】

Undead-type Exotic Beasts are inherently meant to sustain war through war; only when the scale of the war launched is massive can their strength improve rapidly.

After Ye Bai saw the detailed information of the Black Iron Skeleton Soldier, he looked at the white-bone giant chasing him from behind.

The white-bone giant had absorbed the souls of numerous Corpse Vultures and Iron Armor Savage Snakes, and the phosphorescent white bones on its body were gradually transforming toward the color of black iron.

Their resistance to sunlight seemed to have increased.

Now, one rarely sees skeleton soldiers turning into black ash under the sun's exposure.

The Space Pelican traveled rapidly through the forest, branches snapping behind Ye Bai, fallen leaves flying everywhere; the white bones pursued Ye Bai relentlessly like locusts, leaving nothing growing in their wake.

Even the thick roots of towering trees buried in the ground were dug out by the skeleton soldiers.

Holes appeared on the ground, and the entire forest was riddled with scars, pitted and bumpy like acne scars on a person's face.

The white-bone giant that had been following Ye Bai all along moved even more rapidly, every swing of its arm carrying enough power to destroy everything; wherever it passed, trees toppled and earth and stone splashed, leaving behind shocking traces of destruction.

It could snap a towering tree with a single punch.

White Bone watched his undead army evolving incessantly, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

His talent, Bone Manipulation, allowed him to control bone-based undead, and there was no upper limit to the number, provided his mental energy was sufficient.

Smart bone-users directly transform dead corpses into skeleton soldiers and then use their contracted Pet Beasts to control the skeleton soldiers.

Those four white-bone giants were transformed from his Pet Beasts.

They were like huge signal transmission towers, enslaving the surrounding skeleton soldiers.

"These guys can condense Soul Crystals; this way, Little Charcoal Dog will be able to evolve into a Gloom Dog."

"Looks like I'll have to keep leading them on a bit more."

"Let the bullets fly for a while longer."

"It's just that I don't know where Senior Uncle has run off to; Senior Uncle is just like a yellow flash—every time there's a battle, he's always fashionably late."

"Good thing I'm not Obito, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."

Ye Bai expressed his complaints about this.

Fang Ri Tu was in a fierce battle with the Black Knight, and the situation was completely one-sided; the Black Knight was simply no match for Fang Ri Tu.

The black longsword in his hand was shattered by a single hammer strike from Fang Ri Tu.

Hunting Shark was carried on Tank's shoulder, and Tank was leaping on the ground, moving forward at high speed.

Every time Tank leaped, an unfathomably deep pit appeared on the ground, accompanied by the screaming of Hunting Shark.

The next second, Tank and Hunting Shark entered an illusion.

The sky, originally filled with sunlight, became incomparably dim.

The night was cool as water.

The moonlight was thin, barely able to illuminate a patch of mottled ground.

Chilling winds blew all around, and black frost emerged from the ground.

Countless black crows appeared; their feathers were as oily and bright as the night, their eyes flashing with cunning light, and there was a blood-red pupil in the center of their brows—this was an ominous omen in the Middle Ages.

These were Death-Announcing Crows; they would bring disaster and death.

They keep company with death, shuttle between the underworld, and are the messengers of the God of Death.

Some circled in the air, while others perched upon withered branches.

Countless crows gathered together, forming the shape of a human.

A Plague Doctor appeared, dressed in medieval style, wearing a towering bird-beak mask and a long robe, holding a cane inlaid with strange symbols in his left hand and a sharp Surgical Knife in his right.

Beneath the bird-beak mask were blood-red pupils.

"Caw—!" Following a sharp cry, a crow dove down from high above; it landed on the Plague Doctor's shoulder, its black, shiny beak pecking at the Plague Doctor's mask, seemingly conveying some special information.

The Plague Doctor stopped his steps and gently raised his hand, signaling the crow to be quiet; his deep, magnetic voice transmitted through the mask: "Greetings, Tank and Lie Sha of the Provincial Pet Beast Association."

"For our first meeting, I must introduce myself; I am the Plague Doctor of the Gospel Society, also called the Pestilence Doctor; you may call me whatever you like."

"You have already been pulled into an illusion by me."

"Of course, I am merely under orders to trap you; I have no desire to trade blows with you."

"Our goal is very simple: to kill Fang Ritu and Ye Bai."

"In the process of killing them, we do not want others to interfere."

"I hope you can be sensible, otherwise I would not mind at all taking your lives."

"It just so happens that my Laboratory is still missing a few cadavers."

Tank and Lie Sha looked at each other.

"Lie Sha, hold on tight."

Tank suddenly stomped his feet on the ground, and he charged forward like a cannonball.

He headed straight for the Plague Doctor, his iron fists the size of sandbags, as if he would smash every obstacle in front of him with a single punch.

At this moment, Lie Sha also summoned her Gun Shark; she endured the discomfort and pulled the trigger.

Only a bang was heard, and a flash of fire sprayed out from the muzzle of the Gun Shark.

"It seems you do not understand human speech, do you?" the Plague Doctor said softly.

Immediately, his cane gave a light wave, and ripples like waves appeared in the air; a ray of light shot out from the tip of the cane, turning into a solid barrier that blocked Tank's fatal blow.

The bullet fired by the Gun Shark, however, stopped in mid-air, being eroded by a black substance.

The white bullet fell to the ground and instantly vanished.

"Originally, I intended to trap you here, but now I have changed my mind."

"Who told you not to be obedient."

"In my Black Crow Illusion, I am the protagonist who controls everything."

His gaze scanned Tank's body without restraint.

"You are quite good."

After hearing the Plague Doctor's words, Tank felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles; his anus tightened, and the muscles all over his body seemed to scream.

An extremely ugly expression appeared on Tank's face; he felt that he was no longer clean.

The black Death-Announcing Crows began to circle above the battlefield, emitting bursts of shrill cries, their eyes on their foreheads becoming exceptionally blood-red.

"Tank, why are you still standing there?"

"Hurry up and counterattack!"

At this moment, Lie Sha took out a bottle of azure potion from her Pet Beast Space.

She directly inserted the potion into her own neck.

"This time, this lady is truly going to fight for her life."

Spatial ripples appeared once more, and the War Giant Shark appeared again.

Only, the War Giant Shark before them was entangled in black mist, its eyes as bright red as rubies.

"Tank, show your trump card as well."

"If things go poorly, we might very well die here."

Lie Sha was not fear-mongering, because she could sense that this member of the Gospel Society before them was a bona fide Tier 7 Beast Tamer.

If they did not fight for their lives, they would very likely leave their lives behind here completely.

Tank took a deep breath, and he used his old trick again.

He intended to use sound waves to clear away the Death-Announcing Crows.

The Plague Doctor's eyes were filled with sarcasm; the same move is useless against me.

Seeking votes; because of exams this week, updates will be unstable, but I will maintain three chapters a day; after the exams are over, four chapters a week.
