Chapter 83 - 82, This Wind is Too Cold_l
Most of the power of the Temple Blessing had already been consumed, which was within Mu Yuan’s expectations, but it still made him feel a pang of loss.
“With an energy-saturated temple, how many Professional Super Powers could I have created!”
But at least, there was still some residual blessing power left inside the temple, which was a silver lining on a gloomy cloud.
‘Bone Two’ seemed to get a hint from the abyss, and stepped forward, coming nearer to the God Statues. It tilted its head up to look at them, the pale blue pupils in its eye sockets flickering rhythmically.
The next moment, the glorious light of the Temple Blessing descended on ‘Bone Two’, and its aura slightly increased. Its experience value rapidly hit the overflow state.
‘Bone Two: Entered level 9 —> Great Perfection at level 9’
The palm of the God Statue’s raised right hand darkened a bit as its misty brilliance dimmed.
‘Bone Three’ and ‘Bone Four’ stepped forward next.
‘Bone Four’ was a little short of reaching level 9, but under the blessing of the temple, it made substantial progress, skipping over ten days of hard cultivation and directly reaching level 9 Great Perfection.
At this point, the misty glow on the palm of the statue’s right hand finally faded, leaving only a trace of it flickering.
‘Blessing Two: Increase…. (this blessing power has been exhausted and is recovering….)’
“I have three ‘junior experts’ at Great Perfection!”
Of course, the combat power of those at Gate Perfection level 9 had not significantly improved compared to before, at most their power had grown, and their energy was more abundant.
If it were only so, the power of these three ‘Bone Two’ skeletons would still be far from enough to affect the overall battle situation.
Hence, at Mu Yuan’s urging, ‘Bone Two’ took out the Breakthrough Materials from a small bundle.
– -After discovering the blessing effect of the temple during last night’s reconnaissance, he opened the Tixuan Platform overnight and quickly exchanged three sets of Undead System Breakthrough Materials, each for 300 Contribution Points.
Now, he has 100 Contribution Points left, and he didn’t muster up the courage to use the Perfect Breakthrough Stone.
The materials had been delivered to his domain this morning but had been kept in Duo Lai’s Dimensional Pocket until just before they stormed into the temple, when Duo Lai took out the batch of materials.
“It’s time for a breakthrough.”
Outside, the sound of killing, booming, and roaring was continuous. Duo Lai, as a single individual, had blocked the charge of countless snake men, opening his mouth wide to suck up the sky-full of fire.
Inside, a slight tremor was barely felt, and the dust was falling. Skulls were rolling down, but the pillars supporting the entire temple were not moving. Even the few flames that entered through the gates could not leave burn marks on the seemingly old and worn wall and ground of the temple.
Under such a unique atmosphere of ‘peace’, ‘Bone Two’, ‘Bone Three’, and ‘Bone Four’ each picked up the Breakthrough Materials. Guided by their spiritual power, they absorbed it, resonated with their overflowing body’s soul energy, and erupted a mighty water column towards the dome, aiming to shatter that invisible barrier.
Crack–
Boom-!
Bone Two and his peers are professional rare three-star troop Skeleton Generals, having already gathered considerable power due to their natural ‘Death Extraction’ ability, and they have far more than the basics at level 9 Great Perfection.
There were no surprises with their breakthroughs, it was as smooth as water flowing along its course.
A little while later,
Fearless charge!
‘Bone Two’ concentrated the energy in his legs, which spun like a turbocharger. With a burst of stored energy, he slammed the ground. The entire skeleton, like a throttle-stomping truck, roared towards the distance.
Faster and more powerful, it was as if it had launched a charge skill.
This kind of energy application technique was already no less impressive than Dead Bone 19 days ago.
Very soon, the batch of Snake warriors who had rushed out from the side of the tribe and approached the temple were completely annihilated, and on the main battlefield in the southwest of the tribe, General Dead Bone was also dancing non-stop, his gaze fixed on the gate of the tribe, he was cutting his way in mercilessly.
Meanwhile, Snake-men warriors kept pouring out from various parts of the tribe.
There were multiple instances where traps were activated, with explosive barrels bursting open, acid raining down from the sky, and countless spikes shooting up from the sunken ground, creating an incredibly chaotic scene.
But a closer look would reveal that the chaos was only affecting the snake-man side.
They were yelling out in terror, sometimes even being hit by their own traps. In contrast, the skeleton warriors who had already penetrated the enemy lines moved as if they had eyes on their backs, effortlessly avoiding the deadly traps without even looking.
Skeletons, guards, and ghosts… each soldier coordinated seamlessly, often using the traps to their advantage and turning them against the snake men.
This was the power of a universal spiritual link and the overhead surveillance of the Battle Falcon Eye.
Why could they fight many with few and the strong with the weak?
Because their Great Lord Shepherd was silently pulling the strings from behind, a true major support always contributing his strength from the backstage.
General Dead Bone was on a killing spree.
General Dead Bone had run amok.
General Dead Bone was approaching divinity.
His silver-black figure was bathed in blood, like a demon dancing on the battlefield, spreading waves of chill that made the snake-men’s hearts flutter.
However, those snake men who believed in Lord Orochi and were bathed in the red mist tidal wave had already lost the concept of fear. Their eyes gradually turned blood red, and they not only showed no fear but became even more crazily aggressive.
Only the great snake man pioneer, the supreme leader, Ghost Chief, who has the intelligence equivalent to a high snake count, stood silently in the distance for a long time, “…The situation is beyond control!”
Ghost Chief was high-level, indeed an elite of Profession Level Rank 7.
When the Giant Beast of Deathremains charged into the tribe, he considered taking action, but seeing the beast’s huge size and terrifying destructive power, he hesitated for a moment and decided to stay at the rear and command instead.
He was not afraid, but as the supreme leader, he couldn’t act hastily. He was like the anchor of the snake-man tribe.
When the Giant Beast of Deathremains fell, and its driver lost armor protection, Ghost Chief thought the time had come, so he shook his large cape and walked forward. But before he could get into the battleground, his three generals were beheaded in the blink of an eye.
Ghost Chief silently retreated, observing the enemy’s tactics carefully. This was the wisdom of a supreme leader.
The observation led to the present situation.
He looked at the towering Orochi totem, knowing that all he had today was guided and gifted by Lord Orochi. He also wanted to shed the last drop of blood for Lord Orochi, but…
Ghost Chief, the supreme leader, tightened his cloak, “The wind is too cold.”
As we all know, snakes like warmth and fear the cold, and so do snake men.
He blocked the three minions next to him with his special powers, his eyes gradually turned blood-red, and then rushed away through the back alley of the tribe with his three generals.
He did this for the future of the snake-man tribe!
Attacking the snake-man tribe was easier than Mu Yuan had imagined, with the most intense battle being when General Dead Bone drove the Giant Beast of Deathremains to break through the tribal entrance.
After that, although the snake-men charged fiercely, their momentum gradually weakened.
Was it that weak?
“Thinking about it carefully, it’s not that weak. The professional-level snake-man trick dancers and wizards that died at the hands of General Dead Bone have already reached seven, plus those who died at the hands of Duo Lai, Bone Two, and other skeletons, as well as those sneak attacked by the skeleton warriors…about twelve or thirteen have died, and there are still one or two snake-man wizards attacking from afar.”
This number is almost in line with what Mu Yuan estimated.
It’s quite reasonable.
At this time, as the snake-men’s charge gradually weakened, General Dead Bone led a group of skeleton warriors to steadily advance, soon far away from the landmark building at the heart of the tribe – the Orochi totem..
