Chapter 267: Wuwuwu, Jiang Chen Is So Magnificent

My fate has always been great.

Jiang Chen turned sideways and looked at Shadai.

At this moment, Shadai's condition was also far from optimistic; she was likewise wounded, her body covered in injuries, and her breath was weaker than before.

Jiang Chen glanced at her sideways, "Looks like you're worse off than I am."

Shadai swung her Long Spear, "Miserable, aren't you? I've had enough of killing you."

Jiang Chen chuckled, "You can try; perhaps I was the one who killed you."

From Jiang Chen's perspective, although he was a bit disheveled, at least he was uninjured.

He lost many Skeletons, yet still maintained eight fully formed Undead Legions.

The Strong Soldier skill hadn't been used, and he still had the strength for a battle.

The Undead Legion appeared en masse, targeting Shadai. Jiang Chen equipped Bone Armor on himself, and the Strong Soldier skill on his backhand was ready to unleash.

Shadai saw the "Soldier" glyph on Jiang Chen's backhand, her face suddenly changed, "Primordial Rune."

The skills granted by the Primordial Rune were extremely powerful, so Shadai had to stay on guard.

Seeing Jiang Chen so confident, Shadai also hesitated a bit.

Her injuries were serious; her strength was now less than half of her prime.

A burst of Black Light exploded, and a Space-time Portal suddenly appeared beside Shadai.

A powerful attraction entangled Shadai, trying to pull her away.

This is the rule of the Ancient Battlefield: when time is up, Shadai must leave and cannot linger.

She sheathed the Long Spear, and the killing intent instantly vanished.

Shadai gave a charming smile, "Little friend Jiang Chen, sister won't take you back this time. If there's a chance next time, I'll come find you to play; you must take good care of yourself and don't get eaten by those people, okay?"

Her words carried no hint of murderous intent, sounding more like teasing between lovers.

Jiang Chen, however,

was a straight‑man who didn't appreciate it at all, "Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you."

"Next time sister will definitely eat you." Amid a coquettish laugh, Shadai was sucked into the Space-time Portal.

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

If unnecessary, he truly didn't want to risk his life against Shadai.

Even if he used the Strong Soldier skill, he might still not be able to defeat her.

Moreover, there was an Ancient Luan Bird, so Jiang Chen needed to escape cautiously.

"Huh, where's the Ancient Luan Bird?"

The Ancient Luan Bird's trace vanished from the sky, and a massive black flame burned fiercely in the distance.

That was where the Black Fire Meteor had struck, now turned into a Fire Sea.

Jiang Chen mustered his courage and went over, seeing a gigantic pit over a kilometer in diameter.

Flames shot up from the pit, and black fire scorched the ground.

But where did the Ancient Luan Bird go?

After searching for a long time, Jiang Chen finally, in the center of the Fire Sea, saw the shadow of the Ancient Luan Bird.

Detection Technique fired.

"Ancient Luan Bird (Lord-level BOSS)"

"Level: 67"

"Status: in Rebirth, currently in an invincible state."

It lost its attribute and gained an additional status.

A chill rose from his lower spine.

Rebirth, in an invincible state.

Run!

Jiang Chen had only one thought: run quickly.

If he waited for its Rebirth to end, he would never have another chance.

The scope of the black Fire Sea expanded, spilling out of the pit and beginning to spread outward.

Jiang Chen had already fled, a Skeleton clutching him, running extremely fast.

The Fire Sea's area grew larger, and its spreading speed accelerated.

In just ten minutes, the Fire Sea covered land within a five‑kilometer radius.

Then a massive figure burst from the Fire Sea, emitting a high‑pitched cry.

Flames boiled, soaring skyward,

rising, pulling out a long black fire ribbon.

"Ancient Luan Bird" completed its Rebirth, regaining new life.

It circled in the air, crying nonstop.

Its wings beat, black fire roiling.

It was searching for Jiang Chen and Shadai's whereabouts.

At this moment, Shadai had already returned to the Lower Space.

Jiang Chen had also escaped the Core Area.

It searched for a while, found nothing, and finally flew toward the deep of the Core Area.

Jiang Chen ran out of the Core Area, then ran several thousand meters before stopping.

"Safe now."

He let out a long sigh of relief; finally it was safe.

Jiang Chen tallied the losses; this time the loss was unusually huge.

861 Skeleton Warriors died, 192 Skeleton Mages died, and 1 Lich General died.

To replenish them will take quite some time.

Now there are no Desert Fruit left.

"Looks like we can only gnaw on the flesh of the Earth Touch Dragon God and meditate."

Jiang Chen found a flat spot and began replenishing Skeleton Warriors.

If the Undead Legion is not fully replenished, he feels uneasy.

Fortunately, his Spirit Attribute is now high enough that recovery speed is up to 134 times; each Meditation only takes a dozen or twenty minutes to fully restore Spiritual Power.

If we also count the Earth Touch Dragon God's flesh as extra replenishment.

Almost every ten minutes a summoning round can be performed.

He silently estimated in his mind that it would take three or four days.

The Skeletons would appear only before Jiang Chen, for several days, while he sat motionless there.

Finally, after three days, the Undead Legion was fully replenished.

A level‑33 Lich General can lead 330 units.

Jiang Chen assigned them 200 Skeleton Warriors and 130 Skeleton Mages.

13 Undead Legions, total 42

90 Skeletons.

2,600 Skeleton Warriors, 1,690 Skeleton Mages.

The 2,600 Skeleton Warriors lead at the front, with the 1,690 Skeleton Mages behind them delivering focused fire attacks.

The damage is considerable.

Jiang Chen, like a commander, inspects his Undead Army.

A sense of pride inevitably arises in his heart.

But thinking of a BOSS like the Ancient Luan Bird, that pride instantly evaporates.

"Ancient Luan Bird" is entirely covered in Flame; Jiang Chen's best crowd‑sea tactics are useless.

You can't climb up; even if you do, you get burned to death in a few seconds.

The Lich General's Healing Technique doesn't even have time to act.

And how hard a flying BOSS is to deal with, only those who've experienced it know.

It can attack when it wants, fly away when it wants; as long as it doesn't land, I have no way to deal with it.

"Sooner or later, I'll cut you down."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

If we can't beat it now, we'll beat it in the future.

After the rest, several days have fully restored everything.

He put away most of the Undead Legion, leaving only a portion to clear the way ahead.

He continued moving along the Outer Perimeter of the Core Area.

He searched for the Demon Dragon Hall instance; although it's like looking for a needle in the sea—low chance—but still worth trying.

Following the original plan, he'll circle the Core Area once more.

Whether he can find it depends on luck.

"I don't know, have those guys escaped?"

"As long as they're not too stupid, they should be able to get out."

After walking for a while, Jiang Chen arrived at the spot where he previously entered the Core Area.

In the distance he saw a huge stone.

The stone, over twenty meters tall, had been carved with a sword into the shape of a stele, looking just like a tombstone…

Such a

thing appearing on the Ancient Battlefield looks extremely out of place.

Curious, Jiang Chen walked over and, from a distance, saw that it still bore inscriptions.

"Human Race Hero: Jiang Chen's Tomb"

"Blue Leaf Guild: All members of the Rain Yao Knight Order respectfully erect"

Jiang Chen looked at it speechlessly.

"Are these people idiots!"

Living just fine, why erect a tombstone? It's a curse for my own death.

A few Skeleton Warriors rushed over with a clatter, slashing the tombstone into pieces with a few blows.

But in hindsight, perhaps they can't be blamed.

After all, they later split up, and he also deactivated Legion Mode.

Under the terrifying onslaught of the Ancient Luan Bird, most people wouldn't think they could survive.

Jiang Chen was also relieved that a Top-level Demon appeared later.

If it hadn't appeared, he might truly have been in danger.

Whether it's the Ancient Luan Bird or the later Top-level Succubus, relying solely on his numerical advantage cannot confront them.

If they were of a lower tier, Jiang Chen believes he would certainly not be weaker than any of them.

Even slaying them wouldn't be that difficult.

"We must raise the level."

Determined, once we find the Demon Dragon Hall, we'll leave the Ancient Battlefield and go to the Instance to level up.

The next time we return, it will be when he truly steps into the Core Area.

Huo Yuyao's Night Rain Knight Order has already moved away from the Core Area.

The Core Area is too dangerous.

Huo Yuyao knows that if she were given another chance, she would definitely not rush in.

If Jiang Chen hadn't come to rescue this time, they would be certain to die.

At that time, in the whole team, only Huo Yuyao and Qiao Zhixin could be revived.

They had planted resurrection seeds in the guild.

As for the other sisters,

If they die, that's truly death.

Now, whenever it comes to mind, it still gives a lingering fear and a racing heart.

"Yu Yao Jie, you said, can others see the tombstone we erected for Brother Jiang?" Qiao Zhixin was soft and weak, which didn't match the Great Hammer she bore on her shoulder.

Huo Yuyao said, "Whether they see it or not doesn't matter; what's important is our intention."

"When we return, we'll find a good spot and properly make a tomb for Brother Jiang."

"I also want to go find Brother Jiang's hometown, preferably obtain some of his clothes to make a burial mound."

Qiao Zhixin's eyes were teary, "Brother Jiang is so pitiful; in the end he was burned to nothing but ash."

Huo Yuyao was about to say something when a fighting sound suddenly came from ahead.

Spells shot from the ground straight into the sky, exploding in the air.

In the air, Abyss Demons spun and flew, also launching attacks.

"Abyss Demons, prepare for battle!"

Huo Yuyao swiftly drew her Long Sword and charged forward first......
