Chapter 64

Ye Bai was confused by the donkey's actions, but he immediately realized that it was a good thing not to get on the car.

The donkey stepped on the dragonborn undead's head and quickly slipped away, attracting the attention of all the undead. It was a good opportunity for her to slip away.

The dragon lich on the bone altar roared angrily, and the energy surging from his body caused several waves of shock damage to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai took advantage of the chaos and quickly ran towards the nearest undead team. At the same time, he leveled up in the middle and restored his half-remaining health in the shock. In the chaos, he dived into the undead team again like a fish into water.

The dragonborn undead, having received orders from the lich, began to chase in the direction the donkey had left.

With so many undead trying to squeeze into one place, the entire island, starting from the area around the altar, gradually became a little chaotic.

The undead were all following the lich's orders to chase the donkey, and no one paid attention to Ye Bai. Her figure was "short" compared to the dragonborn undead, and she happened to be moving among them, going against the direction of the undead's movement, and slowly but firmly slipping out.

He was forced to come to this place from the treasure house, and thought that he could get out with the donkey if he helped it. Although Ye Bai guessed the plot wrong, fortunately the result was achieved in another way.

Just then—

The lich on the bone altar cursed and roared again, looking at the dragon corpse beside him.

Because the donkey bit off a large piece of the essence of the soul fire, the mysterious power that was pulling the dragon back to life was also weakened.

The two points of soul fire reflected in the dragon's eyes became weak and dim, and it fell asleep again. Its originally open eyelids began to droop, and it looked like they were about to close.

The lich, who was unable to leave the altar during the ceremony, stamped his feet anxiously. Seeing that he could not catch up with the donkey, he turned around and stretched out his hand to the dragonborn undead who were still around the altar.

“Whoosh…”

A soul-level suction force emanated from the lich's outstretched palm, gathering into a vortex at the palm, and facing all the undead nearby equally.

Ye Bai was concentrating on escaping and didn't know what was happening over there. He felt a chill on his skull, and then saw a ball of dark blue soul flame flying out from the heads of the undead guys on his left, right and in front of him, and flying towards the back.

“Clatter…”

The moment their soul flames flew out of their heads, these undead spirits really fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls. To be precise, those whose bodies were not so decayed just "fell", while those whose bodies were more severely decayed simply fell apart.

The demigod lich gathered the soul flames of the surrounding undead and added them to the previously incomplete soul fire. Then, when his head swept around, he stopped in one direction, and two soul flames flickered in his eye sockets.

Amidst a pile of messy rotten bones, Ye Bai, who had previously been perfectly hidden among the tall dragonborn undead, suddenly stood out from the crowd and became the only creature still standing in the surrounding area.

Oh no.

Before he could turn around, Ye Bai felt a cold and sinister gaze falling on him.

Oh no, she must have become a donkey substitute in the eyes of the lich.

Ye Bai glanced at his status bar and found that he had an additional negative buff.

【Soul Absorption】: Absorb the soul flames of undead creatures.

Ye Bai is not an undead creature, so this BUFF is useless to her. However, under the effect of [Perfect Mask], she "should" be an undead creature in the eyes of the lich.

In this weird and awkward atmosphere, Ye Bai thought of a hellish joke at an inopportune time.

When faced with an undead creature that cannot absorb soul flames, does the demigod lich feel the same as a zombie encountering a brainless person?

Of course, thinking so, Ye Bai immediately took out a high-level magic protective scroll [Elemental Protection] from his backpack, and rolled quickly towards the nearby area.

The other undead were brainless fools, and Ye Bai could still pretend, but the lich was a high-level BOSS whose wisdom was no different from that of a living person. He was also a knowledgeable wizard when he was alive. How could he not guess that her abnormality was due to some disguise props she used.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the place where Ye Bai had been standing before exploded with a loud bang, and the already broken undead corpses around him instantly turned into pale ashes, having been hit by the second-level undead magic [Death Ray].

Ye Bai, who had narrowly avoided the attack, heard the paper man's sigh of relief from the magic scroll in his hand: "You finally let me out! I sensed the code, it's in the hands of that demigod lich... eh?"

The paper man obviously didn't expect that this would be the situation after Ye Bai released him from the "small black room".

"Where did this rat come from?!"

The dragon lich didn't expect that his attack would miss. The soul fire rose in his eyes, and he let out a roar. He stretched out his hand and waved it. Three dark red sickle-shaped arcs of light flew towards Ye Bai as if they had eyes.

Directional skills!

Ye Bai knew that this was unavoidable. Various powerful undead magics quickly flashed through his mind, and then he made a choice.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

'-658', '-632', '-632'

Each piece of the [Death Scythe] released by this level 80 Demigod Lich dealt over a thousand damages, and the Crocodile King's Wristbands directly reduced the damage by 500. Now Ye Bai, who was level 22 with 700 HP, took the remaining damage and was promoted three levels in a row.

"Not dead yet?"

The demigod lich withdrew his hand, but found that the little mouse that should have been crushed to death by his finger was not dead. While continuing to control the soul flame, he moved his fingers, and a wisp of gray mist like smoke flew out from his fingertips. It was another directional skill that could not be avoided.

That's the skill that deals continuous damage [Mind Plague].

Once infected, the blood volume will continue to be lost at a rate of 10% per second, and even a blood cow cannot withstand it.

This is also the reason why Ye Bai chose the magic profession. There are many methods. Even if you dodge one skill, there is always a skill that suits you.

In response to this skill, Ye Bai, who was running, immediately activated the elemental protection in her hand. The colorful elemental light washed over and formed a barrier, protecting her firmly, thus resisting the ominous gray smoke.

But just to block this casual attack, Ye Bai's life-saving advanced scroll turned into light and disappeared.

Ye Bai could only take out another life-saving scroll from his backpack.

"Heh...you can't run away."

The lich sneered, glanced at the soul flame formed by the other dragonborn undead to fill the gap, stretched out his skinny fingers, turned a page of the black code in his hand, and a black light flew out from the code.

After that, the lich gave some orders to the undead farther away, and no longer looked at Ye Bai, instead focusing all his attention on the ceremony.

"Oops, watch your step."

The paper man's reminder voice sounded again. After the previous spell scroll was used, he also disappeared. When Ye Bai took out another scroll, he appeared again.

The next moment, Ye Bai felt the ground and wreckage beneath his feet suddenly soften, and in an instant turned into a twisted and trapped swamp of bones.

Relying on the flexibility of his light feather cloak, Ye Bai stepped on the harder skull of the undead and escaped.

However, this was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, a series of loud noises were heard from the ground, and suddenly countless pairs of bony hands stretched out from the ground, trying hard to grab everything on the ground.

Ye Bai's scalp tingled and he immediately recognized it. This was the legendary undead magic [Skeleton Realm].

Ye Bai was so upset she couldn't even cry. This was too much! This dragon lich was being overly cautious! She really wanted to remind him not to use a cannon to kill a mosquito. Wasn't using legendary magic on her, who was only level 25, a bit too much?

Legendary magic is the pinnacle of magic, and any magician who masters it will be awarded the title of 'Legendary Mage'.

A legendary wizard must be a demigod, but a demigod is not necessarily a legendary wizard, which shows its value.

At the same time, under the command of the lich, the dragon-born undead farther away gathered towards Ye Bai. Their actions were not affected by the realm of bones.

“Click…”

Even though Ye Bai had the effect of light feathers, he couldn't stand having a place to stand. Before he ran ten meters, he was grabbed by a pair of skeletal hands.

In the realm of bones, Ye Bai's elemental magic becomes ineffective, and all undead magic will be multiplied.

He could use some physical attacks, but the physical damage of the snow-colored sword in Ye Bai's hand... let's not talk about it.

To make matters worse, at this moment, the altar began to rumble and shake.

As the undead fire gathered again, light began to shine on the huge corpse of the ancient dragon. The dull scales began to undergo strange changes, transforming into a decayed color, and flickering flames emerged from the wounds on the body.

"Bang!"

The soul fire completely merged into the dragon's dark eyes, like ink dropped into water, instantly dyeing them the special color of the soul fire.

"Boom..."

Along with the sound of stones rolling, the dead ancient dragon slowly raised its body and stood up again in another terrifying and weird posture.

The broken dragon wings spread out, and sharp bone spurs grew on them. Although it was underground, one could imagine how it once roared at the sky. The ancient dragon opened its mouth and let out a long roar with a smell of decay.

"hold head high……"

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Under the powerful pressure from the top creatures in the divine world, the skeleton field on the ground that wanted to drag Ye Bai in became calm and the other undead that were still approaching also stopped.

Even with the donkey's destruction, the transformation ritual of the dragon lich was completed after consuming a large number of dragonborn undead.

"Hahahaha..." The dragon lich laughed sharply, like fingers rubbing against wood. It finally freed its hands from the ritual, holding the pitch-black code, floating in the air, and looked from afar at Ye Bai who was trapped in the realm of bones.

Following the lich's gaze, the creature behind, now called the Skeleton Dragon, also looked towards Ye Bai.

A blood bar as wide as the two dragon wings spread out behind it appeared in Ye Bai's eyes.

The dragon lich laughed and said, "Thank the great Lord Zerus. I will grant you a glorious end and let you die in the mouth of a giant skeleton dragon!"
