Chapter 1246

"Look, everyone, that skeleton, what was it doing just now?"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"Hiss, look, that skeleton can actually still move?!!!"

"How is this possible?!!!"

Everyone was shocked, each and every one of them opening their eyes wide.

"Quick, quick, notify the commander! An unknown creature has entered here!" A soldier immediately shouted.

……

"Eh? What unknown creature has entered Black Stone City?" Soon, a sound of rushing wind came, and a team of soldiers rushed over.

And when they saw the scene before them clearly, they were all dumbfounded, their heads full of fog, completely unable to understand the situation.

"Commander!" The soldiers, upon seeing the person who arrived, immediately saluted respectfully.

The person who arrived was a man wearing armor, about thirty years old, with a firm and handsome face. On his shoulder, he carried a large black flag.

This was the iconic building of Black Wood City, the "Black Wood Flag."

This flag represented the Black Wood City Lord, the Black Water City Lord!

In the history of Black Water City, the Black Wood Flag had stood right here.

"What is going on?" The Black Wood City Lord glanced at the soldier's corpse and frowned, saying, "Were you attacked?"

"Yes… yes, an unknown creature came outside Black Water City, and we were simply no match for it!" A soldier hurriedly explained.

The Black Wood City Lord, hearing this, narrowed his eyes, seemingly thinking of something.

"An unknown creature came outside Black Water City? Are you sure?" The Black Wood City Lord asked again.

"Sure, Commander. That thing was extremely fast and possessed infinite strength; it blasted the stone pillar of the city gate with one punch." A soldier replied.

Hearing this, the Black Wood City Lord remained silent.

After a long while, the Black Wood City Lord raised his head and looked in the direction where the skeletons had fled: "Black Wood Legion, listen to my orders!"

*Swish!

Instantly, the gazes of all the surrounding soldiers looked toward the Black Wood City Lord.

"Follow this lord to pursue those unknown creatures!"

"Yes!" The soldiers, hearing this, all responded in unison.

……

"Roar~~~"

And at this very moment, inside Black Stone City, almost every hundred meters, there was a skeleton wandering about.

Moreover, these skeletons were all very powerful, even more formidable than those soldiers.

Because their strength was immense, and with every gesture, they possessed ten thousand jin of giant force.

This kind of strength was absolutely not something ordinary soldiers could match.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?" At this time, this group of soldiers was filled with bitterness.

These skeletons were too terrifying, simply flawless, with fierce and wild attacks and powerful defenses.

Even if they used weapons or high-level skills, they could not do anything to these skeletons at all.

"Commander!"

"Commander, help, we can't hold on!"

"Save us!"

Many soldiers suffered heavy injuries while fighting those skeletons.

Especially some soldiers who were directly beaten into powder and disappeared completely.

"Retreat!" Finally, the Black Wood City Lord issued the order, taking everyone and retreating toward the city wall.

……

"Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~ hoo……"

At this time, on a large tree, a black skeleton was lying on a branch resting, white gas puffing from its mouth, its figure blurry and unclear.

Suddenly, it felt something was wrong and turned its head to look.

It saw that, at this moment, a youth in green clothes was standing by its side.

The youth in green clothes had a lazy posture and an inattentive appearance, as if he hadn't done anything just now.

That skeleton, seeing this, had its muscles tense up, staring vigilantly at this human before it.

However, in the next second, the skeleton relaxed. Although this youth in green clothes' strength was not weak, it was still not as good as its own.

The youth in green clothes was also watching that skeleton at this moment, an excited expression appearing on his face, seemingly very much looking forward to its performance.

"Awoo~~~"

Suddenly, that skeleton roared, jumped up, opened its mouth filled with sharp teeth, and bit toward the youth in green clothes' head.

*Bang!

Just at this moment, a fair and slender palm slapped out, solidly hitting that skeleton's head.

*Crack!

Instantly, a crisp sound rang out from that skeleton's head.

Following that, its entire skull directly exploded, turning into a sky full of blood rain that poured down.

"Ding, system prompt: Host has triggered a side quest: Defeat the skeleton before you, reward 10, 00 points!"

"Haha, this quest is really great." Xiao Ye, seeing this, instantly became excited.

Afterward, he walked slowly to the skeleton's side and picked up the drops.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for level +1!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for leveling up to Second-Stage Martial Master."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a new skill—Undead Ghost Slash."

A series of prompt sounds rang in Xiao Ye's ears, making Xiao Ye's mood even more comfortable.

"Heh heh, continue the slaughter, let me see just how many points these skeletons have!" Xiao Ye was all smiles, directly leaping down and charging toward another skeleton.

……

And at this very moment, outside Black Wood City.

*Swish, swish, swish, swish…*

Countless black, dense skeletons surged like a tide toward Black Stone City.

The densely packed skeletons gave people a hair-raising feeling.

And those undead creatures were like an ocean, covering the sky and earth, their momentum shocking.

"Quick! Quick, report to the commander, a batch of unknown creatures has arrived here." A soldier ran hurriedly toward the city.

*Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo…*

In an instant, inside Black Wood City, countless arrows were shot out, exploding toward those undead creatures.

*Puchi!

*Puchi!

*Puchi!

Streaks of bright red blood splashed up.

Those arrows were stuck on the bones of those undead creatures.
