It was unknown when, but a layer of gray fog rose from the ground and covered the sky, causing the world to darken.
The evening sunlight was no longer shining into the field. The sky was dark and gloomy, as if a part of the world was pressing down on people, causing them to feel an inexhaustible pressure. Inside the thick forest, it appeared eerie and evil to the extreme.
The trees in the circular land were tall and lush, and as a result, the light became even darker, as if night had descended.
In the depths of the forest, there seemed to be a little bit of ghastly green fire, and a kind of eerie and evil energy seemed to cover the whole area.
"Be careful! "Be on alert!" The group of guards immediately cried out in surprise. Ever since the unlucky guard was pulled into the ground by the bone claw, everyone was inexplicably shocked, every hair on his body standing up.
Uncle Zhong who was dressed in a green gown looked around with a serious expression. His eyes emitted rays of light like the stars in the night sky as a strong imposing manner appeared from his body.
The ordinary old man, at this moment, was no longer ordinary.
On the other hand, Xiao Cui and Xiao Yue, the two Maidservant s beside him, had already turned pale from the sudden turn of events, fearfully clenching the swords in their hands tightly, looking around nervously.
Dozens of Embroidered Uniform Guards, armed with weapons, formed a circle and were on high alert as they slowly retreated. The guards of Haotian Merchant Group were well-trained, so even after walking into this place, they did not panic.
However, at this moment, the surrounding ground suddenly surged like a wave. A scene that shocked everyone beyond belief appeared. A skeleton struggled out from under the shattered bones and dirt, struggling to stand up. The white skeleton was still intact, but what made everyone feel incredible was that it was actually moving, as if it had a life of its own. It spread its two skeletal arms, and pounced towards everyone.
The sharp claws of the white bones were like ten sharp bone spikes. If one was caught by them, ten blood hole s would definitely appear in their flesh and blood.
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Yue, take your men and leave first." Uncle Zhong bellowed, at the same time, he took a step forward, and a burst of violent energy immediately penetrated into the ground beneath his feet, "Boom!", causing the ground to shake, and the white skeleton that was rushing towards them was immediately blown away, shattering into thousands of pieces in the air. Pieces of bone shot out in all directions.
As for the other skeletons that were breaking open the soil, the skeletons that crawled out from the ground were either shaken to pieces, or suppressed to the ground and crushed into fragments by the mud.
This Warrior from the mortal world revealed his strong side. Even though he doesn't truly grasp the profound meaning of martial arts, this Uncle Zhong has already refined all of her muscles and bones.
It was a pity that his cultivation could only come to a halt here, unable to advance any further.
Even without obtaining the inheritance, the fact that the Uncle Zhong could temper his body to such a degree with just a simple martial skill was truly strange.
After all, only those who truly touched the threshold of "Martial Arts" could be called true experts. For example, those guards, they only knew some fighting techniques and were much stronger than the average person. However, in the eyes of a true expert, they were nothing but fancy martial arts.
With the decline of the martial way, the deeper things had long since been lost. The "Martial Arts" that was widespread in the world could only be called "form", and without the "Spirit", no matter how refined one's external techniques were, it would only serve to toughen up one's muscles and bones.
When the Uncle Zhong took a step forward, he shattered more than ten skeletons that were crawling out from the ground. After that, he threw out a punch, and the power of his fist surged forward as cracking sounds of cracking could be heard incessantly. Several tens of skeletons which were rushing towards him were immediately sent flying by the power of his fist and disintegrated into pieces in the air.
"Roar!"
"Kill!"
"Let's go all out!"
In that moment, dozens of guards in a circle roared and brandished their weapons, clashing with the white skeleton soldiers, and started to fight with them. Suddenly, the forest was filled with the shine of swords, and the cold light reflected off of their swords and sabers, flickering in the forest.
"Peng!" A cold light flashed. A skeleton was split into two halves by the saber. Its skeleton was scattered on the ground.
"Bam!" One of the Skull was knocked away, and with a crack, it crashed into the sternum of a skeleton that was pouncing on him from behind. The skeleton got stuck in the skeleton's chest, and was kicked away.
Those skeletons were not as terrifying and powerful as they had imagined. The fear in the hearts of the guards immediately disappeared as they shouted and waved the weapons in their hands, fiercely chopping at the skeletons that were rushing towards them. Very quickly, everyone's feet were covered in a layer of broken bones and broken Skull s.
Everyone slowly moved towards the outside of the forest, but there were still skeletons crawling out from the ground. A strange power seemed to envelop the ground, calling out the skeletons of these dead people from the ground.
Inside the forest, the shadows of ghosts crashed against each other. Not all of the skeletons crawled out of their hiding spots. There were even more skeletons walking out from the depths of the forest.
As the white skeleton moved, the 'kacha' and 'kacha' sounds of its bones rubbing against each other sent chills down everyone's spines. Everyone was afraid of being surrounded by thousands of skeletons that were supposed to be buried in the ground.
"Chi!" Xiao Cui's sword pierced through a white skeleton's Skull in front of her, and said to Uncle Zhong with a pale face: "What do we do, these damn things seem to be endless!"
"Wow!" At this moment, a tall guard was dragged out of the circle by the sharp claws of a skeleton.
"Help! I don't want to die! " The guard waved his blade in panic, chopping apart the skeleton that dragged him into the crowd, wanting to rush back into the group. But suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest, and a bloody bone claw pierced through his back, piercing through him.
Blood spurted out of his mouth and his eyes lost their luster. The skeleton that had come from all directions fell to the ground and tore the guard into pieces. The scene was extremely bloody.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Even if the crowd wanted to save him, it was already too late.
"Send out the signal to gather the people nearby to come and support." Seeing that, the Uncle Zhong's eyes could not help but turn red, this squadron of guards that followed Ling Luoyan was personally trained by him, and every one of them were elites, not one bit inferior to the veteran who did not die in battle.
"Yes sir!" Maidservant Xiao Yue immediately took out a signal firework, ignited the fuse, and then "Peng!" With a "peng" sound, a fist-sized fireball immediately soared into the sky, rushing through the layer of fog in the sky. "Bang!" With a loud sound, that fireball exploded dozens of feet in the sky.
A fireball appeared in the sky like a brilliant firework. Even though it was dusk, the world was still bright. However, the fireball was still very conspicuous and did not go out for a long time.
Especially that loud noise, it could be heard from tens of miles away. The person who designed this signal flame seemed to have already considered the possibility of using it during the day. Even if they couldn't see the flame in the sky, they could still hear it.
The sound spread for tens of kilometers, and when the people nearby heard it, they also gathered towards the direction of the sound.
"Woo woo …" At this moment, a voice that sounded like the wailing of ghosts sounded out from the depths of the land. At this moment, a voice that sounded like the wailing of ghosts sounded out from the depths of the ground.
