Everyone was running towards the distress signal. At this moment, Sanchez took the lead, followed by Leon, Lucas, Felix, Andre and others, and hurried towards the ramp forest where the distress signal was sent. Soon, they arrived in front of this mysterious and dangerous forest. They could only hear the roar of beasts, mixed with strange and piercing screams, and the sound of ground shaking from time to time. Obviously, a fierce battle was going on inside.
"Quick!" Sanchez shouted, and then rushed into the forest first. His figure was like a brave and fearless knight rushing towards an unknown battlefield.
Everyone stepped into the forest and saw that it was full of strange trees. The branches were twisted and winding, as if they were claws stretched out by the devil, surrounded by a strong breath of death, and there were skeletons scattered all over the ground, as if this was the place where the god of death held a feast, which made people feel cold.
Lucas originally wanted to run slower and fall behind Andre so that he could take revenge for the slap he had received. However, he was surprised to find that Andre was the slowest runner and was about to fall behind. He could not help but cursed him as a "scoundrel" in his heart, but the situation was urgent, so he had no choice but to speed up.
Felix saw that Andre was the slowest runner and felt strange. He really couldn't guess what he was thinking. Worried that Andre would lose the team, he also slowed down and accompanied Andre. In this way, the original formation of the team was pulled into a long line, like a fragile ribbon winding in the dangerous jungle.
After Andre and Felix entered the dense forest, they saw a large area of broken and destroyed trees, with broken branches and leaves scattered all over the place, which was obviously the traces left by the fierce battle. They followed the destroyed tree marks all the way deeper, and soon saw Sanchez, Lucas and others. They saw two figures supporting them, one man and one woman, both of them were in a mess, with scars all over their bodies, and obviously experienced a brutal battle. Around them, several pets were guarding them in full battle array, and not far ahead, several pets were fighting with a huge monster, and the battle was very fierce.
"Is that... an eighth-level demon skeleton beast?!" When Felix saw the huge figure of the bloodthirsty demon wolf beast rushing to fight, his pupils shrank, and his face was full of horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying demon in the world.
This demonic skeleton beast was seven or eight meters tall, like a pile of bones and flesh crawling on the ground, with hideous skeletons all over its body. From the skeletons, sharp skeleton spears kept shooting out, or huge skeleton arms stretched out. The way of attack was strange and varied, making it hard to defend. It was really like an evil creature crawling out of the abyss of hell.
"Demonic skeleton beast?" Andre was slightly stunned when he saw this huge monster. He couldn't help but take a closer look at the skeletons on its body. There was a different color in his eyes, like a skilled chef choosing his favorite ingredients. This weird look was particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.
At the same time, in his mind connected with Skull's consciousness, there were waves of excitement and urging. Skull seemed very active, as if he couldn't wait to do something.
Andre came back to his senses, hurriedly comforted it, and then came to Sanchez and others with Felix.
"It's an adult eighth-level demon skeleton beast!" Sanchez's face was a little ugly, and he even felt a little regretful in his heart, regretting that he rushed here so impulsively. He turned to the two people beside him and said, "You two, what pets do you have that can fight? Summon them all. My bloodthirsty demon wolf beast alone is no match for it." His tone was full of anxiety and helplessness.
The two men and women were all covered with scars and bloodstains, obviously after a fierce and bitter battle. The man smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "The only pet beast left by my side is this ground shield beast."
"My holy flame bird can fight again." The woman bit her lip slightly, her eyes full of unyielding, like a determined female warrior, unwilling to easily bow to this terrible enemy. Next to her stood a flying bird covered in golden feathers. It was a Holy Flame Bird of the eighth-level high-level pet bloodline. However, at this moment, the Holy Flame Bird was in a rather miserable state, with its feathers in disarray. The originally bright Holy Flame had become dim. There was a shocking tear on its chest ribs, and golden blood was oozing out from time to time. It was heartbreaking to see it.
Sanchez couldn't help but take a closer look at the Holy Flame Bird. You know, even among many eighth-level pets, the Holy Flame Bird was considered an extremely powerful existence, but it was really surprising that it had fallen into such a miserable state.
As if seeing the doubts in Sanchez and Lucas' eyes, the man hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and told the truth, "This demon skeleton beast is not an ordinary demon skeleton beast. It should have a strength close to the upper level of the eighth level."
"Close to the upper level of the eighth level?!" Sanchez and Lucas both shrank their pupils when they heard this, and they were frightened. A deep fear surged in their hearts, as if their hearts were tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
Leon and Felix next to them were also frightened when they heard this. They were both a little powerless in front of the seventh-level star pet monster, let alone facing this eighth-level upper-level terrifying monster. It was simply to deliver food to the other party, and they had no power to fight back.
"Are there only two of you left in your team?" Sanchez came back to his senses and asked.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "We encountered another eighth-level bone dragon on the road before, and the team was dispersed. Otherwise, if the whole team was there, although we might not be able to kill it, we wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation to escape now."
"..." Sanchez and others were speechless when they heard this, and they sighed in their hearts, what kind of unlucky luck is this? They actually encountered two eighth-level star pet monsters in a row here, which is simply a series of bad luck.
"Everyone, you..." The man hesitated for a moment, but still took a deep breath and looked at everyone seriously, "If we don't let your pets cover the rear first, and continue to fight this thing, I'm afraid we will all be left here and can't leave anymore." Seeing the angry expressions of Sanchez and others, the man hurriedly said: "After we leave, we will compensate you for the pets you lost, and there will be rewards. I, Ye Xiusi, will never break my promise!" "Ye Xiusi?" Sanchez was about to get angry, but he was shocked when he heard the name, "You are Ye Xiusi?!" His expression was full of astonishment and disbelief. Leon and Felix next to him also looked at him in surprise, obviously very familiar with this name. "Ye Xiusi, the pioneer of the Golden Dragon Medal?" Lucas was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. "That's right." Ye Xiusi reached out and took out a golden dragon medal from his arms, showed it to everyone and quickly took it back, then said: "I hope you will consider it. Time waits for no one. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid that no one will be able to leave." The words were full of anxiety and earnestness, hoping that everyone could make a decision as soon as possible.
Sanchez's face changed. He looked at the bloodthirsty demon wolf beast fighting with the demon skeleton beast in the distance. He saw that the wounds on the bloodthirsty demon wolf beast were gradually increasing. Although it was a seventh-level sensitive attack pet, it had no way to deal with this demon skeleton beast. The demon skeleton beast was like a hedgehog covered with spikes, and there was no place to bite. The bloodthirsty demon wolf beast could only rely on its sensitive speed to dodge left and right to barely delay the demon skeleton beast, but this was not a solution.
"Okay!" Sanchez gritted his teeth and finally agreed. He thought that if he could get another bloodthirsty demon wolf beast as compensation, it would make up for his loss, and the key is that he could also get Ye Xiusi's favor, which might be a kind of gain, but the risk is really not small.
Seeing this, Ye Xiusi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to say something, his face suddenly changed. He saw a large number of skeletons crawling out of the ground around him. Those skeletons seemed to be driven by some mysterious power and quickly surrounded their retreat. The scene was very scary.
"It's the summoning of the undead!" Seeing this, everyone's face became extremely ugly, and a sense of despair surged in their hearts, as if they were completely shrouded by the shadow of darkness.
Just as they were about to command the pets to break through, suddenly, this astonishing scene happened. The summoned skeletons actually bypassed them and rushed towards the demon skeleton beast in front. This weird scene immediately shocked several people. They stood there in a daze, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all. It was really unexpected.
"Captain, your pet has been with you for so long, it's a pity to abandon it like this." Andre said at this time, with a hint of meaning in his words, which made people unpredictable.
Sanchez was stunned and couldn't help looking at Andre. Then, as if he thought of something, his eyes fell on Skull at his feet. Skull was emitting a strong dark energy all over his body. The energy was like a black mist, covering his entire skeleton. At first glance, it was like a mysterious existence shrouded in black mist, exuding a breath of fear and curiosity.
"Is this undead summoning yours?" Sanchez asked in shock. He knew in his heart that this was a high-level undead pet skill, and looking at the huge scale around, it was obviously used extremely skillfully, which was much more powerful and terrifying than ordinary undead summoning.
Andre didn't speak, but silently directed Skull to operate the surrounding skeletons with his mind. It turns out that this is Skull's special ability - undead slavery. As long as there are skeletons around, it can directly enslave them, and the strength of this ability depends on the number of skeletons around. At this moment, there are naturally the most skeletons around the demon skeleton beast. Theoretically, if Skull's mental power is strong enough, he can even directly enslave this powerful demon skeleton beast! After all, demon skeleton beasts are essentially undead creatures. But it is obvious that Skull is only at the third level at present. Although its mental power is much more fierce than that of ordinary third-level creatures, it is still too difficult to directly enslave eighth-level creatures. With its current ability, it can only enslave sixth-level undead creatures at most. Everyone looked at the magical scene of Skull controlling the skeleton, and they were surprised and ignited a glimmer of hope in their hearts. But can Skull use this undead slavery ability to help everyone get rid of the desperate situation in front of them? Or will it bring about a more terrible crisis? The unknown follow-up is really worrying.
