After the three undead agreed to Han Shuo's participation, Han Shuo immediately began to communicate with the little skeleton. As the distance between them became shorter, Han Shuo could easily communicate his thoughts to the little skeleton. The clever little skeleton, who was currently flying at high speed on a bone demon, fully understood Han Shuo's intention.
When the three undead creatures saw that Han Shuo had agreed, they did not try to retrieve the Serene Glow Gem in the middle of the black spring. Instead, they spread out in front of the spring and ordered the surrounding low-level undead to stop fighting and slowly surround the place.
Nearby, two evil knights slowly made their way towards the giant knight wielding the two-metre broadsword, while a few hate warriors stood separately in front of the apparition and the mummy lord. They guarded the area carefully, intending to make it the resting place of the approaching skeleton.
A shrill whistle could be heard, gradually approaching. Under the dusky sky, a huge shadow slowly approached. The wings attached to the rotting corpse of the Variant Bone Demon were five to six metres long when fully extended. In addition, its entire body was covered with terrifying bone spears. This gave the flying bone demon a formidable power.
More than ten glistening white bones formed a cushion on the flying bone demon's back. The small skeleton sat on it, holding a long, sharp bone spear. Its purple demon eye was filled with a glittering radiance, while its small body exuded an imposing presence.
The giant knight waved his rusty two-metre sword at the little skeleton that flew over on the bone demon and spread his indignant consciousness, "This time, you won't be able to escape!
"You are currently no match for me. If you surrender to me, I will spare your life!" When the little skeleton arrived, he remained unyielding in the air, looking down as he rode the bone demon, his dignified consciousness transferred.
"You can forget about that. I would rather have my soul extinguished than be your slave!" the knight roared. Then he ordered his subordinates, "Kill this wretched skeleton!"
As the knight shouted his orders, the mummy lord and the apparition also ordered their subordinates to attack. Hundreds upon hundreds of undead creatures, like a swarm of locusts, rushed towards the little skeleton and his bone demon mount. Among them were gargoyles that could fly, forming groups and attacking in waves, the first to charge the little skeleton without fear of death.
As the little skeleton looked down at the various lowly undead creatures approaching, its purple demon eye suddenly emitted halos of purple light. They spread out from his Purple Demon Eye like waves of running water, gradually covering the area around the little skeleton. The whole area was filled with a vicious, imposing aura.
When the charging low level undead creatures were hit by the waves of mysterious aura, they were suddenly stunned, seemingly forgetting that they were supposed to be attacking the little skeleton. Even the gargoyles, who don't fear death, had bypassed the little skeleton and headed off into the distance.
" You lowly, weak existences, retreat!" a harsh, dignified consciousness was suddenly transmitted from the little skeleton and spread out in all directions.
All the lowly undead creatures enveloped in the purple light of the Purple Demon Eye were stunned. They hesitated for a moment, as if afraid of the little skeleton's power, and actually disobeyed the suicidal orders of the knight and the mummy lord, all of them voluntarily opening a path.
Only the two evil knights seemed to have barely resisted the corrosion of the Purple Demon Eye's bright light on their consciousness. After being stunned for a long time, they did indeed charge towards the little skeleton. On the way, the two evil knights conveniently grabbed a couple of skeleton warriors by their sides, shattered the skeleton warrior's bones, and shot them towards the little skeleton in the sky.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Without even waiting for the bone spears to close in, the little skeleton swung the long bone spear in his hand. An earth-shattering Death Qi emerged violently, causing all the bone spears shooting towards him to explode.
The little skeleton did not seem to notice the two evil knights in his eyes as he continued to stare into the distance at the three undead creatures as well as Han Shuo. He sent another message through his consciousness, "Since you won't acknowledge your allegiance, the only alternative is death!"
The bone demon beneath him suddenly flew forward, heading for the five metre tall knight. The little skeleton grabbed his three metre long bone spear, an enormous amount of Death Qi carrying a dense killing intent attacking the four undead creatures below. The mummy lord was the first to act, hurling his sarcophagus at the bone demon beneath the little skeleton. Scores of wraiths flew out of the apparition again, forming an orderly formation and heading towards the little skeleton.
The giant knight guided his flaming horse, glancing up at the approaching skeleton as he charged towards it. Under the momentum of his charge, he threw out the two-metre broadsword and slashed at the little skeleton. His throw had an impressive force, seeming extremely powerful.
The little skeleton drew back the spear before suddenly thrusting it forward. The long spear was like a sponge, soaking up the rich death qi in its surroundings before flying like lightning towards the incoming broadsword. With a "clang", the knight's broadsword fell to the ground. At the same time, the bone demon flapped its wings and pushed the mummy lord's sarcophagus aside.
As for the wraiths sent by the apparition to attack, they were blocked by the purple rays of the Demon's Eye before they could get close to the little skeleton. The purple rays of light seemed to have suddenly formed an invisible barrier, and the hundreds of wraiths were simply unable to charge through it.
Han Shuo coordinated with the other undead creatures and shot out two rows of bone spears. However, the bone spears were also repelled by the invisible barrier created by the light of the Purple Demon Eye descending from above. This made Han Shuo even more astonished. How could the little skeleton control the Demon Eye of Datara they had obtained from the forest trolls to produce such a miraculous effect?
The bone spears conjured with Han Shuo's grand magus level mental power had a strong penetrating power. Even though they couldn't penetrate those incomparably strong physical defences, the barrier should theoretically be able to block the shapeless wraiths, but it shouldn't be able to block the powerful bone spears. However, the truth was actually so unimaginable. Han Shuo gradually felt that the little skeleton was becoming more and more mysterious.
After the little skeleton had blocked all of their attacks, he instructed the bone demon to circle around the mummy lord and the apparition. The knight who had just caught his descending broadsword was far away from the mummy lord and the apparition and didn't have enough time to help them.
In comparison, Han Shuo was much closer to the mummy lord and the apparition. Seeing the mummy lord and the apparition's panicked expressions, Han Shuo took the initiative to send a message, "I'll help you two!"
After sending the message, Han Shuo immediately rushed towards the Mummy Lord and the apparition. As soon as he sent the message, Han Shuo immediately rushed towards the Mummy Lord and the apparition. He had already prepared the Soul Tremor magic and communicated with the little skeleton. As soon as the little skeleton attacked the mummy lord, Han Shuo would seize the opportunity to unleash Soul Tremor on the apparition.
Regardless of the undead creature's form, its soul was the foundation of its existence. The same was true for the strange apparition. If it was caught off guard by Han Shuo's soul tremor, even if its soul wasn't destroyed, it would be severely injured. At that time, Han Shuo and the little skeleton would be able to easily kill the apparition first.
After that, with Han Shuo interfering with the mummy lord and the little skeleton directly killing the giant knight, they would be able to completely control the situation. None of the three undead creatures wouldn't be able to escape the plans of Han Shuo and the little skeleton.
Han Shuo's plan was extremely good. If the situation went as planned, it would be everything he could wish for. However, just as Han Shuo's mind was firmly focused on the apparition, ready to eliminate it at any moment. His consciousness suddenly felt a faint fluctuation from the depths of the pitch black spring.
The fluctuation was extremely slight, as if it had been accidentally released by an overly excited soul. Had Han Shuo's consciousness not improved to its current state, it might have been difficult for him to sense this faint fluctuation. Since the fluctuation seemed to contain an ancient aura, it was obvious that a terrifying undead creature was hiding in the spring. This formidable undead creature was undetectable by the nearby knight, the apparition, and even the little skeleton, sufficiently illustrating its strength.
Han Shuo's consciousness quickly circled around, taking note of the unintentionally leaked aura with extra caution. Suddenly alarmed, Han Shuo instantly compared this aura to a formidable undead creature recorded in the necromancy books.
The most powerful creature generally known to necromancers was the Bone Dragon. The pitch-black spring did indeed contain an extremely cunning bone dragon!
The bone dragon has always been a dominant undead creature in the underworld. Apart from a few more terrifying unknown existences, the Bone Dragon, the Skeleton King, and the Zombie King were considered to be the highest ranking undead creatures. In the Profound Continent, necromancers had to reach the rank of Sacred Magus to summon bone dragons.
The bone dragon had always been known as the strongest undead creature. Hiding in the spring from the beginning to the end, this bone dragon had used the wisps of smoke overflowing from the Serene Glow Gem above its head to lure powerful undead creatures to this place. His intentions were clear for all to see.
It seems that the teardrop of the Serene Glow Gem in the middle of the pitch-black spring had always been the Bone Dragon's lure to attract powerful undead creatures. The giant knight, the mummy lord, the apparition, and Han Shuo had all fallen into the bone dragon's trap. Had Han Shuo's consciousness not suddenly sensed the slight fluctuation caused by the Bone Dragon's excitement, he reckoned that the Bone Dragon would have been the ultimate beneficiary.
As he rushed towards the apparition, Han Shuo quickly communicated with the little skeleton, describing everything he had just sensed to the little skeleton before asking if the little skeleton had the strength to defeat the bone dragon.
"Father, I would definitely be able to kill and decapitate the bone dragon in the future. But I can't do it now. I still do not have that power!" The little skeleton sent a message, saying that he had the ability to evolve infinitely, but also saying that he did not have the power to deal with the bone dragon at the moment.
When Han Shuo heard that the little skeleton was no match for the Bone Dragon, his brain worked fast. As he approached the apparition, he immediately gave the little skeleton a different order.
The Mummy Lord's sarcophagus suddenly crashed into the little skeleton, while the apparition retreated erratically, unleashing an unknown enchantment. The wraiths that had emerged from his body suddenly formed a huge network of wraiths, attempting to trap the little skeleton.
Han Shuo materialised a bone shield, the huge sinister bone shield suddenly blocking the Mummy Lord's path, forming a solid defence for the Mummy Lord and the apparition. This allowed the Mummy Lord and the Apparition to relax and concentrate on attacking the little skeleton.
When the little skeleton riding the bone demon saw that he was about to be trapped by the apparition's network of wraiths, the bone demon suddenly changed direction and descended towards the pitch-black spring.
While the undead had yet to react, the seven bone spurs on the little skeleton's back suddenly shot out towards the sinister-looking plant. He also threw his javelin-like three metre long bone spear into the middle of the spring.
A terrifying roar came from the depths of the lifeless spring. The pitch-black spring suddenly boiled over, forming huge waves.
Bone spears condensed from the surrounding surging Death Qi suddenly shot into the depths of the boiling spring, seemingly piercing the extremely cunning Bone Dragon, causing the Bone Dragon to temporarily be unable to emerge from the depths of the spring.
At that moment, the little skeleton's seven bone spurs shot towards the sinister-looking plant, completely cutting through the plant's rhizomes. Faint blue smoke began to escape from the calm, shining gem, which seemed to be supported by numerous withered branches and leaves. Having sliced through the plant, the seven bone spurs seized the opportunity to gather and lift the Serene Glow Gem, which instantly flew into the palm of the small skeleton's hand.
The three metre long bone spear suddenly flew out of the ground, resembling a bolt of lightning as it returned to the little skeleton's hand. The small skeleton then urged the bone demon to fly towards Han Shuo without even looking at the rapidly boiling pitch black spring.
"Treacherous, despicable skeleton, I, Bone Dragon Zasika, will inevitably destroy you!" A loud roar could be heard from underground as a huge bone dragon, whose entire body was made of steel like long bones, suddenly emerged from the spring, emitting a terrifying Death Qi that spread throughout the entire valley.
The giant knight, the mummy lord and the apparition, who were about to attack the little skeleton from all directions, suddenly looked at each other in horror before fleeing frantically towards the surroundings of the valley, ignoring the little skeleton. The lower-level zombie warriors and hate warriors seemed petrified with fear, instinctively submitting and not daring to move from their positions.
