811 The Arrival of the High Priest
The flaming arrow glowed with red flames while the frost arrow glowed with a layer of icy mist. The gale arrows glowed with a green light while the armor-piercing arrow glowed with golden light.
In an instant, the Rune Arrows that were shimmering shot like rain, bringing with them a sharp sound of tearing through the air.
Although it was a cavalry shot, the accuracy was still extremely high. Even when facing the dense Undead Army, they didn’t even need to aim. As long as the direction was right, it was almost impossible for the arrows to miss. Each arrow was sharp and fast like lightning. The power of the Bone battle Bow was fully displayed.
The battle arrows struck the Undead spirits one by one. The huge power of the arrows sent the Undead spirits flying. Some of them were even nailed to the ground, struggling in vain.
At the same time, the Rune Arrows also exploded with a powerfully destructive force. It could either turn into flames and burn its target, or turn into ice and freeze everything in an instant.
There were even some whose bodies were directly boomed by the overbearing power contained in the battle arrows.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Undead were killed, either dead or injured. Even the dried corpse’s powerful body was torn apart by the armor-piercing arrow, and a bloody hole was blasted open.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After shooting out the first arrow, all cavalry pulled back their battle bows and shot out the second Runic Arrow.
Under the continuous firing, an incomparably resplendent rain of arrows fell on the battlefield. This was an unimaginably terrifying rain of arrows. It swept over like a storm. Wherever it went, it could extinguish everything in an instant.
The newly revived Undead Army fell one after another under the rain of arrows.
The scene was extremely shocking. There were thousands of kills.
Countless ice and flames spread across the battlefield, and beams of divine light flashed.
This wasn’t a battlefield for mortals at all. It was a battlefield for transcendent cultivators and was incomparably cruel.
Rumble!
The Fire Cavalry Army easily passed through the Undead Army and returned to the oasis. This time, they didn’t charge forward. Instead, they stood on the oasis and faced the Undead Army.
Kachaa!
The battlefield was in chaos, but the Undead Army was still silent.
White divine light flickered on a skull that was left behind. There was a fire dancing in the eyes. Then, the bones continued to gather towards the skull, quickly piecing together into a new body with a strange sound. Time flew, and the bones seemed to have fused perfectly.
With a Bone Saber and a bone shield in its hand, it was a brand new Undead Skeleton Warrior.
And there were many Undead like this.
Some of the skeletons had broken bones, but they picked up the bones from the battlefield and attached them to their bodies. With a flash of light, the bones merged with their bodies. They recovered in the blink of an eye.
Some of the dried corpses’ lower bodies had been boomed to pieces by the Runic Arrows, but they could still crawl on the ground with cold eyes.
This scene made many people gasp.
“How could this be? The skeletons can recover even after being boom into smithereens. They’re back to normal in the blink of an eye. Are they really unkillable?”
“They’re getting up. Many Undeads are getting up again. They didn’t die!”
“What a terrifying Undead! I’ve heard that the Undeads are very difficult to deal with. They’re not afraid of anything. They won’t stop fighting until they die. It’s very difficult to kill them.”
Many civilians wanted to cheer as they saw the cavalry charging in and out of the Undead Army twice. They felt their blood boiling. However, their hearts turned cold when they saw countless Undead crawling out of the battlefield.
The fear and apprehension of the Undead spread among them again.
“The fundamental core of the Undead is the soul fire. The soul fire is their soul. As long as the soul fire is not extinguished, they can be reborn and recover quickly. Unless the soul fire is extinguished, or else they can recover in the shortest time no matter how serious the injury is.”
“However, this kind of recovery is not unlimited. It depends on the strength of their soul fire. Every time they recover, their soul power will be consumed. Once their soul power is exhausted, they can no longer resurrect. But even so, it was indeed very difficult to deal with. We’ll have to pay a terrible price to destroy them.”
Li Xiang wasn’t surprised at all as he had fought with Undead spirits before. He was clear that the Undead’s weak point was not their bodies. To them, the bodies were just a carrier. The true weak point was the soul fire, which was the core of their life.
As long as the soul fire was not extinguished, they could be reborn at any time. The price was just some energy.
It wasn’t difficult to kill them. One just had to destroy their soul fire.
Although the Runic Arrows boom their bodies, many of the undead’s soul fires had not been destroyed.
“What a shameless general!”
Wushuang Ghost suddenly cursed, and his eyes widened to the size of copper bells.
Turning around, he saw that General Invincible was also on the battlefield, but the things it was doing were somewhat shameless. On the battlefield, it commanded his skeletal warhorse to crush a skull with one foot. Then it opened its mouth to suck in a ball of white soul fire. This action was done cleanly and with great familiarity.
It devoured many of the scattered soul fires silently.
It was almost undetectable if one did not observe.
As General Skeleton devoured the soul flames, the flames in its eyes flickered even more nimbly and condensed.
Obviously, it could gain great benefits from this.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the desert, the Undead Army suddenly split into two sides, revealing a few figures.
Eight extremely tall mummies, wrapped in white cloth from head to toe, walked out from behind.
“Mummies!” someone couldn’t help but exclaim.
Mummies were the most terrifying and evil of the Undead.
To become a mummy, it was not possible to just wrap some white ribbons around one’s body. There was something mysterious about it.
At first, they held a corpse-searching ceremony, followed by a body-cleansing ceremony. This ceremony was very spooky and terrifying. They had to dissect the body and extract the internal organs and bone marrow before using a unique secret technique to dry it up.
The specific method was to first soak the corpse in a type of salt water, dissolve the oil, and wash off the skin. More than a month later, the corpse was taken out to dry. Then they filled the cavity with spices and coated the outside with resin to prevent the body from coming into contact with air and bacteria. Then, they wrapped the body tightly with the cloth. In this way, they would become mummies that would not decay for a long time.
