11 The Sorrow of the Skeleton Guard

"Click click click!"

A torch lit up the dark passage.

The surroundings were silent. Even the sound of light footsteps was magnified.

Ye Tianyu held the torch in his hand and advanced through the passageway.

He was also a little puzzled. In the blink of an eye, the members of the Spiritual Team had all disappeared.

The situation was clearly not right!

But he could not tell what exactly was wrong.

Li Qingqing tugged at the corner of Ye Tianyu's shirt and carefully followed behind.

"What is this place?"

"Hey! Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Say what?"

They had already walked for more than half an hour and were still in the passageway. This made Ye Tianyu's mood very bad.

Even though he knew Li Qingqing didn't mean any harm, if she hadn't wasted her time, they wouldn't have been separated from the team.

As for what this place was…

Ye Tianyu shook his head helplessly because he also wanted to know the answer.

However, the scene before him gave him a familiar feeling!

That's right! It's the hidden dungeon.

The current situation was similar to when he first discovered the hidden dungeon.

But it was impossible since he was the only one in this world who could enter the hidden dungeon.

Ye Tianyu thought of another possibility - they had triggered the special map of the dungeon.

Other people had experienced similar situations before - a special area appearing in the same dungeon, and such places were called special regions.

At this thought, Ye Tianyu snapped his fingers.

"Come out!"

Just as he finished speaking, a black soldier covered in armor appeared in front of him.

It was the zombie warrior he had summoned.

Ye Tianyu pointed ahead and ordered the zombie warrior to search ahead.

"Hey! Who are you talking to?"

As Li Qingqing was hiding behind Ye Tianyu, she didn't see any zombie warriors.

She said with a trembling voice when she heard Ye Tianyu mutter to himself.

"I'm timid, don't scare me!"

"Don't talk, follow me!"

According to the message sent by the zombie warrior, the two of them were not far from the end of the tunnel.

Ye Tianyu immediately pulled Li Qingqing along and ran forward quickly.

After passing through the passageway, they arrived outside a palace.

The surrounding scene became bright as lamps illuminated the surroundings.

The demonic creatures guarded the two sides of the road to the palace in an orderly manner. There was a sentry every five steps and a post every ten steps. The security was very tight.

[Skeleton Guard] (Undead Demonic Creature)

Description: When they were still alive, they were powerful warriors. After they died, they still retained a small portion of their strength. Their powerful obsession allowed them to continue guarding the palace. As long as an enemy attempted to intrude, they would be mercilessly attacked.

Main attack technique: Physical strengthening - The body will be filled with Demonic and Death Qi, making their bodies extremely hard. (Due to their retained will when they were alive, they can use weapons to fight, and they have excellent combat awareness.)

Monster Rank: C

"Roar!"

The sound of battle came from the front. It was the zombie warriors and the demonic creatures fighting.

The zombie warrior was originally an ordinary Class E demonic creature. After becoming a summoned soldier, its strength had increased. However, it was currently being suppressed by the other two demonic creatures, and it looked like it could not hold on for much longer.

Ye Tianyu also discovered something strange. The place where they were fighting was very close to the other demonic creatures, but the other demonic creatures were still standing motionless.

Their cautiousness made it seem like they were guarding something precious.

"That's… an internal fight between demonic creatures?" Li Qingqing's eyes widened.

A strange zombie creature and the two demonic creatures with long swords were actually fighting.

This was something that would never have happened in the past, but she saw it for herself.

The skeleton guards at the side were also confused by the zombie warriors. There were strict rules between demonic creatures. Unless it was a very special situation, they usually stayed in their own territories and did not attack each other.

But that day, for some reason, this zombie warrior suddenly barged into their territory. As if it had received an order, the zombie warrior walked forward recklessly.

Of course, the skeleton guards could not let it in, so upon their encounter, they immediately started fighting.

Li Qingqing came back to her senses and wanted to grab Ye Tianyu and escape before those demonic creatures discovered them.

But when she turned around, she was stunned!

Because Ye Tianyu, who was originally beside her, had actually disappeared!

"Ye Tianyu, what are you intending to do?"

Unknowingly, Ye Tianyu had already walked out and was not far away from the battle of the demonic creatures.

"Li Qingqing, don't run around. Just stay there and watch!"

Ye Tianyu, who had been moving forward, heard her call and turned to warn Li Qingqing before continuing forward under her shocked gaze.

One step, two steps, three steps…

He was getting closer and closer to the demonic creature!

"Damn Ye Tianyu, what the hell is in his head? He clearly knows that this is very dangerous…"

Li Qingqing grumbled, but gritted her teeth to calm herself down.

However, at this moment, the rest of the skeleton guards had already discovered the intruder. They charged towards Ye Tianyu.

The rust-covered sword danced in the air, giving off an inexplicable feeling of sharpness.

"Ye Tianyu, watch out!!!"

A skeleton guard suddenly slashed at Ye Tianyu with its sword.

Li Qingqing wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She closed her eyes in horror.

"Oh no!"

More than ten seconds had passed, but Ye Tianyu's screams were not heard. Instead, she seemed to hear the wails of the demonic creatures!

Eh? What happened?

Li Qingqing was confused.

The moment she opened her eyes, her fair face was filled with shock.

"How is that possible?!"

In her line of sight, there were a dozen or so summoning soldiers like the zombie warrior.

Ye Tianyu stood in the middle of them calmly. His loose sportswear fluttered in the wind as he calmly commanded the zombie warriors to fight. His every move was like an elegant noble.

Snap! (He snapped his fingers)

"Come out!"

The voice sounded.

As if they had broken through a zombie's nest, a continuous stream of zombie warriors walked out of the void under Ye Tianyu's command.

The situation that was originally suppressed instantly reversed!

"Yeah! It should be about time!"

Ye Tianyu glanced at the number of soldiers and said indifferently.

"Next, I'll give you a mission. That is… to kill them all!"

With a wave of his hand, the 40-odd zombie warriors surrounding him rushed out and instantly pulled the few Skeletal Warriors in front into battle.

…

"Ahhh…"

The Skeleton Guards wailed in pain!

There was indeed a certain difference in strength between the zombie warriors and the skeleton guards, but with their accumulating numbers, it perfectly made up for this flaw.

If they couldn't beat the skeleton guards in a one-on-one fight, but if there were five against one, or even ten against one… the situation would be different!

Very soon, that familiar prompt sounded in Ye Tianyu's mind again.

[Beep! Demon soul detected, do you choose to absorb it?]

[Beep! Demon soul detected, do you choose to absorb it?]

[Beep! Demon soul detected, do you choose to absorb it?]

[Beep! Demon soul detected, do you choose to absorb it?]

"Haha! There are new soldiers coming in again. This feeling is really good!"

Ye Tianyu smiled brightly.

Since he had obtained new soldiers, then he should test their strength!

Snap! (He snapped his fingers)

"Come out!"

At the same time, four soul bodies holding swords and wearing pitch black battle robes appeared beside him!

They were guarding Ye Tianyu respectfully like a royal guard.

Obtained Soldier: [Elite Warrior—Class C]

"Go! Let me see your strength!"

Under Ye Tianyu's command, the elite warrior turned into a summoning soldier and charged towards its own kind.

Its sword was sharp and fierce, roaring continuously!

The battle outside the palace continued.

Using the loopholes in the system of the skeleton guards, Ye Tianyu quickly finished the battle by pulling demonic creatures into battle. Every time he sent zombie warriors to lure out two skeleton guards, he would then use an overpowering tactic to surround and annihilate them!

With the addition of the new members, the battle was extremely intense, and the process was exceptionally smooth.

This scene made Li Qingqing, who was a spectator, in disbelief.

Looking at the calm figure commanding the zombie warriors, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Oh my god, am I dreaming…"
