"monarch……"
Goblin Mu looked at Ye Yan, his heart full of worry.
He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Yan.
"Leave this forest immediately."
Ye Yan's tone was unquestionable, and his decision had never been as resolute as it was at this moment.
"Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down.
They didn't understand why Ye Yan wanted them to leave the place where they once fought together.
Is he going to abandon them?
"If you still listen to me, leave immediately."
Ye Yan's voice was cold and firm, and his expression was terrifyingly calm.
However, they were able to sense it through the connection between their relatives.
The monarch is really angry.
"Your Majesty—"
What do they want to say.
But Ye Yan had already disappeared with the blood lotus in his hand.
. . .
The smell of rotting pine resin mixed with the stench of corpses surged in Shen Yun Forest.
The emerald leaves were curling and turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Irene's cat ears trembled at a high frequency to avoid the bone arrows. In the chest of the skeleton torn open by sharp claws, dozens of maggots were biting the broken bones and reassembling the body.
Jasmine's fire spell exploded into gorgeous fireworks in the air, but it could only disintegrate the skeleton soldiers for three seconds.
Those moss-wrapped ribs seemed to be pulled by invisible silk threads, and in a blink of an eye they were pieced together into a cavalry skeleton with rotten flesh hanging on it.
"They have runes of death embedded in their spines!"
She kicked a skull covered with corpse spots away, and the skull rolled to the roots of a tree and began to take root and sprout.
"How come there are still skeletons coming out of the soil! What's going on with these skeletons!!"
She had to smash the skulls with her staff and complained impatiently:
"Just like cockroaches, you can't kill them no matter how hard you try."
Irene swung her cat tail and shuttled lightly among the harvesting undead army.
"This is the undead, of course they can't be killed, meow."
Her cat eyes flashed with the excitement of battle, and before she finished speaking she had cut open the spine of a skeleton knight.
"Is there no way?"
The other adventurers gritted their teeth, struggling in the tide of skeletons, and shouted in despair.
The skeletons' sharp claws tore their clothes, and they smashed their skulls with swords, but the skeletons crawled up again in an instant.
"Of course there is a way. As long as we destroy their souls, they will die completely meow."
Irene leaned over and did a spinning kick, breaking a skeleton into pieces, then landed steadily on the ground.
"But do we have the means to destroy souls here?"
After hearing what Irene said, the adventurers fell silent.
Most of them are good at physical combat and know nothing about soul-level attacks.
At this moment, the blood-stained shield warrior suddenly grabbed Jasmine's cloak and shouted:
"You obviously know how to burn souls! You used this to kill the Soul Eater last time!"
He pointed at the pendant on the girl's waist that was becoming transparent.
Each diamond-shaped crystal contains a dark blue flame.
“Burn them with this!”
“Are you kidding me?”
Jasmine slapped the other person's hand away, and the pendants collided, making a hollow sound that made the undead restless.
"Using these soul fires once will reduce your lifespan by 30%. Are you worthy of it?"
As she spoke, the tip of her staff had already drawn the outline of a teleportation array, and the silver powder left scorch marks on the moss.
"Are we going to wait to die here?"
The skeletons uttered death rattles and used their rotten wood-like limbs to climb onto the adventurers' bodies. They did not dare to draw their swords, fearing that if they chopped them down, their dead bones would reconstruct into new enemies.
"We have been trying our best to help you find the magic stone! Do you want us to die here?"
The adventurers despaired.
"It's you who are waiting to die, meow!"
Irene's nimble shadow leaped among the dead trees. After she said this, she had already climbed up the tallest dead tree. "Look, others have their own tricks."
Her fluffy cat tail pointed at Jasmine.
"She is a young lady from Thirteenth Street, she is very different from you."
"hateful!"
The adventurers looked at the girl chanting the spell and said angrily:
"You want to abandon us and run away?"
"Hey Hey hey."
Jasmine frowned. Silver powder formed a vortex in the air. The outline of the portal was almost materializing.
"Don't make me sound like a heartless woman... I have no relationship with you guys, right?"
After saying this, Jasmine's gaze suddenly turned towards the top of the rotten tree.
Irene, who was originally perched on the treetops, disappeared without a trace.
"You damn cat girl...you're running away yourself and you're blaming me?"
"They're going to abandon us and run away!"
After hearing what Jasmine said, the shield warrior also reacted.
I suddenly became unwilling.
"We are a team and have been through so much together. You can't do this to us!"
"That's right, we are companions!"
"When we team up together, we should live and die together, right?"
"companion?"
Jasmine frowned. The silver powder was woven into a silver gauze curtain under the guidance of the spell. She said coldly:
"You and I are not companions."
"It's just a randomly matched team."
"you!"
Seeing that moral blackmail didn't work, the heavily armored knight smashed the hilt of his sword heavily at Jasmine's feet.
"In this case……"
He glanced at the team, and the three thieves suddenly dispersed tacitly, blocking all retreat routes.
Amid the roar of the Gate of the Dead, a poisoned crossbow arrow was quietly erected from the pile of dead leaves and aimed sharply at Jasmine.
"Then don't blame us for being rude."
The heavily armored knight's voice was deep and fierce.
They don't want to die here, so since this woman refuses to save them, don't blame them for being cruel.
Jasmine's eyes turned cold instantly.
She hadn't expected these people to be so extreme.
"You are courting your own death."
Her voice was cold and heartless.
However, the adventurers were no longer willing to listen.
They just want to survive, no matter what the cost.
"You guys..."
Jasmine gritted her teeth. The silver veil trembled with her anger. The portal that was about to take shape collapsed like a sand painting blown by the wind.
"Damn it...you interrupted my chant!"
She glared angrily at the adventurers, who looked determined, as if they were ready to do anything to survive.
Irene was also disturbed.
She had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but the actions of those adventurers completely disrupted her plan.
"Damn it!"
Irene cursed under her breath as she nimbly jumped between the dead trees, trying to create some distance, but the number of the undead increased, and some even began to climb trees.
"If you keep going like this... you'll die."
Her cat ears drooped and her tail wagged nervously.
However, at this critical moment, a sudden blood mist came like dusk, instantly covering the battlefield.
The blood mist had a strange suction force, as if it could devour the breath of all living things.
"What the hell is this?!"
The adventurers were so panicked that they even forgot about the confrontation with each other.
In the blink of an eye, the undead that had been surging like a tide were swallowed up by the blood mist one by one, leaving not even a bone residue. (End of this chapter)
