Chapter 175

"Xiaoxin, Xiaoxiang, we're no match for it, retreat now!" Shen Youfeng hurriedly recalled the dying Swift Wind Mantis.

He shouted at Peng Xiaoxin and Lu Zhenxiang. "It's too late, Captain!" "Look around!"

The dejected voices of Peng Xiaoxin and Lu Zhenxiang came through!

Crack-crack-crack!

The sound of countless skeletons' footsteps rose up.

Shen Youfeng looked up in terror.

He only saw!

They had long been surrounded by densely packed skeletons!

The skeleton soldiers—some held long blades, some held bows and arrows.

Others held long spears.

The soul fires within their eye sockets seemed to radiate a mocking emotion. "Flame Commander, who would have thought we'd run into such a powerful phantom beast!" "Looks like we're really done for!"

He stared at the flame skeleton emanating dense flames.

Shen Youfeng laughed at himself bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxin, Xiaoxiang!"

"I never thought I'd drag your lives down with me too, the captain is useless!" Shen Youfeng said, his face filled with deep shame.

"It's not the captain's fault, it's all my fault, my fault for chasing that Purple Flame Source of Life and running into this guy!" "If only I hadn't listened to the captain's advice and hadn't been so greedy!" Peng Xiaoxin's face was even more full of guilt.

He never imagined that his moment of greed would lead him to encounter such a powerful foe.

A Platinum Tier 5 Flame Commander.

He had thought that relying on a few glowing phantom beasts he could avoid danger…

But he hadn't expected that when the Flame Commander was asleep, it looked just like an ordinary skeleton.

And that Purple Flame Source of Life was right in its palm.

That was how the current scene came about.

"No, it's not your fault, it's mine, I didn't stop you in time!" Seeing Peng Xiaoxin blaming himself, Shen Youfeng hurriedly said. "Wuwuwu!"

"Captain, I don't want to die yet, I'm still so young!" "I've never even held a girl's hand!" Beside him!

Lu Zhenxiang's eyes kept dripping tears.

"I promised my old mother—as soon as I make money this year, I'll definitely give her a happy life!" Lu Zhenxiang thought of his old mother, all alone, with an immobile body.

Tears rolled down even faster.

"Now, I haven't earned enough money yet!" "And we're going to die here!" "Wuwuwu!"

Lu Zhenxiang burst into loud sobs.

"Ahhhh, me too, I don't want to die, Captain!"

Beside him, seeing Lu Zhenxiang crying, Peng Xiaoxin couldn't help but start crying too.

After all, they were still young people in their twenties.

They had never witnessed real death,.

At this moment, facing such a desperate situation.

The aura of despair made them feel boundless fear.

Their bodies couldn't help but tremble. "I'm sorry, Xiaoxin, Xiaoxiang!" "It's all your big brother's fault!" Shen Youfeng's face was full of guilt. If he could, he would even give up his own life to trade for the two young men's lives.

Unfortunately, the Flame Commander could emit an aura of fear.

It left him unable to even merge with his phantom beast to make a final stand. "Wuwuwu!" "Ahhhh!"

At once, the crying and shouting grew even louder.

And beside them, the Flame Commander revealed a mocking smile.

Around it.

The phantom beasts of the Divine Wind Squad's people.

Had long since been lying scattered in every direction over there.

Some were even heavily wounded and recalled.

Crack-crack-crack!

Seeing the miserable state of the few humans, a human-like look of pleasure appeared on the Flame Commander's face.

It slowly walked toward the three members of the Divine Wind Squad.

Then!

A three-meter-long flame longsword was raised high.

The corner of its mouth curled into a savage grin.

And the surrounding skeleton soldiers all revealed similar smiles.

The next moment!

Rumble-rumble-rumble!

A dozen or so figures flew past the head of the three-meter-tall Flame Commander.

Crashing into the distant wall.

In the dense skeletons, an empty path actually appeared.

On the path were nothing but shattered bones.

Some skeletons left with only their heads stared in terror as a black, armor-clad foot entered their field of view.

But they could no longer raise their heads, they could only see that mysterious foot.

It looked like a human.
