On the ground, five hundred Skeleton Warriors served as the escort team, surrounding the exploration team mbers; on the do of the Underground Palace, ten thousand blue Evil Spirits surged above, like a Nether River, dominating the airspace.
Everyone was moved to tears of gratitude.
Damn it, do you know what a sense of security is?!
An entire Undead Army guarding all directions, no matter how many Pirates co, they all die.
...It’s just a bit creepy.
Everywhere you look, there are skull faces and fierce Evil Spirits, making one’s heart shiver.
Suddenly, Ding Xuezhu received a communication. Her beautiful face imdiately showed an expression of surprise and joy, and she hurriedly said to everyone:
"Good news, everyone, listen to . The company has spent 130 billion to hire an elite naval and air force from the rcenary Empire to rescue us."
Upon hearing this, many people wept with joy, as if seeing the dawn in a mont of despairing darkness.
"Great, we are saved!"
"When will the reinforcents arrive?"
"We must make these damned Pirates pay a heavy price!"
The crowd’s emotions imdiately lifted, and the gloom in their hearts was swept away.
However, Lu Xun frowned.
Treasure Pavilion Headquarters may be wealthy, but spending 130 billion not on appeasing the Pirates but hiring rcenaries for a head-on clash.
This shows that the company is unwilling to yield or be extorted, taking a tough stance against the Pirates with no tolerance.
The rcenaries are on their way, which may not necessarily be good news for the exploration team mbers in the Underground Palace.
Because this ans that once the Pirates find out, they won’t leave any survivors.
Once caught, there’s nothing left to do but wait for death.
Sure enough, Ding Xuezhu imdiately said:
"The North Sea is quite far, and the reinforcents need four hours to arrive. Before then, we must not be caught; stay alert and keep moving forward."
Four hours...
Soone’s expression changed slightly, the smile they had just started to show disappeared again.
Though the Underground Palace is large, with the Pirates’ carpet-style search, there’s absolutely nowhere to hide, only to delve deeper inside.
Lasting four hours, how easy is that?
However, it’s better than having no hope at all.
So looked resolute, willing to die rather than be captured.
...Everyone had read the news before coming to the Naga Race, knowing Pirates wouldn’t care about civilization when dealing with hostages. Falling into the hands of these savage villains would be a fate worse than death, with inhuman torture.
"Sigh~" Nearby, an archaeology master sighed, finding amusent amidst hardship, joked, "If there’s a next life, I hope to reincarnate as an Elf."
Hearing this, everyone showed bitter smiles.
The Elf population is sparse, and they value their people greatly.
If it were Elves trapped in the Underground Palace, even if it were just thirty, not to ntion nearly three hundred, the Elf Race would go all out to rescue them.
With one command from the Elf Queen, Catastrophe would descend, wiping out the Blood Corpse Pirates. What Magma Emperor, they’d be scattered to the wind!
These Pirates know who they can offend and who they cannot.
The population of the Human Federation is several hundred tis that of the Elf Race.
The world is vast, with many humans encountering various accidents abroad every day. The Human Federation can’t possibly manage everything.
Since the exploration team encountered the Pirates, several dozen minutes have passed.
The Human Federation has officially condemned the North Sea Blood Corpse Pirates vigorously, pressuring the Magma Emperor, but so far the military hasn’t taken action.
Even if the Human Federation decides to send troops to rescue, the council has nurous long procedures to follow.
By the ti the high-ranking council mbers have finished several etings, the bodies of the exploration team mbers might already be cold.
In a dire crisis, the most reliable hope is the company spending 130 billion on rcenaries...
Oh no, the most reliable one is clearly this mysterious Necromancer in the Underground Palace!
The rcenaries aren’t even in sight yet.
Everyone could sense so security only from the Undead Army beside them.
The crowd kept silent, moving quickly and heading deeper into the Underground Palace.
At this point, we can only pray to survive this tough four hours.
Buzz~
Suddenly, Lu Xun’s mind felt a surge of crisis.
He quickly turned his head toward the right wall, thinking quickly.
Roar!
A dense mass of Evil Spirits and Skeleton Warriors surged toward the right direction.
Rumble——
The next second, there was a thunderous crash.
The entire wall, tens of ters high, suddenly exploded and collapsed, with giant stones weighing dozens of tons flying like a rainstorm.
The Evil Spirits unleashed Soul Strikes, and together with the Skeleton Warriors, they intercepted the incoming massive stones.
But still, a hapless exploration team mber had his knee shattered by a flying stone. He fell to the ground, constantly wailing, while his companions hurriedly provided aid.
"Gulala~"
The six-ter-six tall Giant laughed wildly, carrying the Tyrant’s Hamr as he walked out of the ruins, looking fiercely at the exploration team mbers, like a butcher surveying lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
When he saw the thousands of Undead Army, Basil’s expression showed surprise:
"A Necromancer? Interesting, no wonder you could kill my three hundred subordinates."
He wielded two massive Tyrant’s Hamrs, each with a diater of two ters, and stepped forward. Each step he took made the ground thud heavily.
The majestic figure, three stories high, gradually approached, like a mountain pressing forward...
...The sense of oppression was terrifyingly strong, suffocating!
"It’s that King-level Pirate!"
"We’re dood, why did he target us?"
"Did he kill the sheep-headed Kulus?"
Everyone was imnsely terrified, their faces showing fear, and their bodies instinctively withdrew backward.
The Sea Giant ca alone, charging through the middle, smashing hundreds of hard, thick walls, rampantly breaking through to the left flank, and the other Pirates couldn’t match his speed.
Roar!
Grand Commander Tiezhu let out a furious roar, leading 9,999 evil spirits in a charge.
Whoosh~
Grand Commander Zhu Tutu also took flight, holding a gun in his left hand and a sword in his right, leading a force of five hundred powerful skeleton soldiers to attack Basil.
10,500 vs one person.
"Roar——"
Basil suddenly opened his bloodthirsty mouth, emitting a terrifying roar.
The giant’s roar ford a visible shockwave, the blast carrying destructive energy that swept forth, causing chaos!
Rumble rumble rumble~
Skeletons shattered into pieces, and evil soul bodies twisted and dissipated.
The sound wave from the Sea Giant’s roar was even able to harm soul bodies.
Half of the Undead Army was wiped out!
"What a big mouth!"
Lu Xun’s eyes widened, imdiately turning his head to the side, seeing people and horses fallen everywhere, individuals rolling on the ground clutching their heads, eardrums ruptured, blood flowing out.
This was a very strong skill, presumably a racial divine technique of the Sea Giant, capable of creating terrifying shockwaves and mysterious sound waves.
The Tyrant’s Hamrs slamd into the ground, the two hamrs crashing against each other, or just a direct roar... all kinds of ways to trigger a special shockwave, even tearing apart evil spirits.
This was a dual physical and soul attack, the shockwave causing kinetic damage, and the soundwave causing soul damage.
Lu Xun felt nothing, as his soul was very strong, the level of his "Strong Soul" trait reaching as high as lv13.
But other people were not so lucky.
The Sea Giant’s explosive roar stunned half the people, leaving them unconscious on the ground, while the remaining people staggered, unable to stand steadily.
Echoes of the blast continued, causing significant damage to the exploration team mbers.
What surprised Lu Xun was that Ding Xuezhu, an ordinary person, was still standing fine. Although her face was slightly pale and she was sowhat affected, she was obviously unhard.
...This woman had secrets.
"Hmph! Not coming out yet? Necromancer." The Sea Giant Basil’s attention was not on the exploration team. He looked around the underground palace, letting out a disdainful chuckle, "Just like that Puppet Master earlier, re cowards who only know to hide."
Buzz buzz buzz~
In the void, golden and purple summoning arrays opened once again.
A dense army of evil spirits and skeleton warriors charged out once more, maintaining a number of 10,500, though the old soldiers were now replaced with new ones.
They surged toward the Sea Giant like a flood, intending to drown him.
Clang~
The Sea Giant’s two hamrs collided, the sound deafening and earth-shattering.
He unleashed an even more terrifying wave howl than before, sweeping through the world, once again crushing the Undead Legion.
The aftershock still affected the distant exploration team mbers, with more people vomiting blood and collapsing, bleeding from their seven orifices, fainting away.
"Kill!"
Three Jiao Long chas charged in with energy shields activated, yet were each shattered by Basil, their pilots ending in one death and two serious injuries.
"Ants, utterly weak." Basil chuckled disdainfully.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure and intent to kill descended from above.
Basil’s expression changed, hastily looking up, only to see a massive wolf fang club.
The wolf fang club had activated Thunderstorm Mode, with sharp spikes flickering with a cold gleam, entwined with thick arcs of lightning, Hellfire burning, thirty layers of waves converged at the club’s head... carrying destructive power, it struck the Sea Giant’s forehead.
Rumble!
In an instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked.
The Sea Giant, hit by this heavy blow, was unexpectedly pushed back three steps.
He unbelievingly raised his left hand, rubbing his forehead with the back of his hand... dark blue blood.
I’m hurt?!
For the first ti in decades, Basil felt the sensation of pain again!
This was simply unbelievable.
Earlier he had withstood countless Evil Energy Cannon shots from Kulus without even breaking the skin.
This invincible body, could it actually get injured and bleed?
"Guhahaha~"
The Sea Giant gazed up and laughed excitedly, seemingly in an unprecedentedly cheerful mood, his entire muscular body trembling with excitent:
"Marvelous! Hahaha, marvelous!"
He lowered his head, eyes glowing, staring at the enemy who had ambushed him just now—
Standing 4.2 ters tall, robust and strong, muscles well-developed, clad in fierce bone armor, through the gaps, a layer of pitch-black scale armor could be seen beneath;
On his head grew two Ox Demon Horns, with a Soul Vertical Pupil on his brow.
He stood majestically and dominantly, his body tall and strong, a large wolf fang club resting on his shoulder, like a ghost god.
The life force exuded was intense, far exceeding Lord Peak level, though still so way from King Level.
"Guhahaha~ Little one, you’re the Necromancer, right?" Basil raised his enormous arm, holding a massive Tyrant’s Hamr on each shoulder, asking with keen interest.
Snap!
Lu Xun didn’t speak, but raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The sound of "buzz buzz buzz" could be heard.
Golden and purple summoning arrays opened in the void.
A dense number of evil spirits and skeleton warriors surged out, replenishing the number of the Undead Legion.
...Using action to answer the Sea Giant’s question.
"Hmph! So it is you, truly led astray!"
Basil’s face turned dark, his voice revealing strong anger underlined:
"Little one, muscles and strength are the true supremacy! Using the ti ant for honing the body to learn magic, that is a distrust of muscles, a desecration of strength! Unforgivable... unforgivable, I will kill you!"
Lu Xun: "..."
Damn it, whether I study magic or not is none of your damn business.
Are you crazy?!
