Lin Caogen asked suspiciously, "Why would these people do this? They've made themselves look like neither human nor ghost!"
Gu Xun'er explained, "These people are absolutely loyal! According to my estimation, firstly, they are extremely loyal to their master and are willing to guard his tomb in this way! Secondly, these people all participated in the last world-ending war! Countless people died in that world-ending war, and these people may have thought that since they couldn't escape the world-ending war, they might as well achieve immortality in this way! After all, after becoming undead, their bodies hardly need any energy to sustain them, and their physical bodies are a hundred times stronger than before!"
Lin Caogen sighed deeply. He didn't know what to say.
Suddenly! A skull with blue light in its eyes stared at Lin Caogen!
Then he opened his mouth and said a few words that no one could understand! After all, he had long since lost his tongue!
Zero-charge exclaimed, "Oh no! We've been discovered!"
The skeleton, wielding a long spear, charged towards Lin Caogen and the others!
Zero Charge picked up the Panlong Spear and said, "I'm going to test their strength!"
"Watch out, Brother Zero!"
Fang Xueyi and Du Yumei shouted!
The Zero-charged gun moved like a dragon, directly engaging the skeleton in battle!
In a single exchange, the zero-charge spear was sent flying by the skeleton!
Then the skull spear swept across and struck the Zero Charge Shield!
With a crack, the shield shattered!
Zero Charge was shot and sent flying back a hundred paces, the Panlong Spear also fell to the distance!
"What astonishing power! Brother Zero, with his peak Nascent Soul stage cultivation, is no match for this skeleton!"
Just then, the skeleton leaped up, ready to stab Zero to death with a single shot!
At this critical moment!
Lin Caogen took out his iron bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it into the skull!
With a cracking sound, the skeleton was sent flying by the iron arrow and pinned to a tree trunk in the distance!
The skull was incredibly hard, the very place where the dead dwelled! But Lin Caogen's iron arrows were unstoppable, still managing to pierce through the skull!
Immediately afterwards, the other six skeletons, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, charged toward Lin Caogen!
Lin Caogen drew his bow and fired six arrows in quick succession, killing all six skeletons!
Lin Caogen was so exhausted that he collapsed, sitting on the ground, sweating profusely and panting heavily!
"Brother Grassroots, are you alright?" Gu Xun'er hurriedly stepped forward and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief!
Du Yumei and Fang Xueyi used a sweat towel to wipe the sweat off Lin Caogen's back and chest!
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "I'm currently using my essence, energy, and spirit simultaneously, and I can barely pull this iron-boned bow halfway open! I just fired seven arrows in a row! My arm is already cramping! Each of these skeletons is no weaker than a Celestial Emperor! They're truly terrifying! I'm alright, go check on Brother Lingchong!"
Du Yumei and Fang Xueyi hurriedly took the wound medicine to treat Ling Chong's injuries!
Gu Xun'er sighed, "Sigh! I thought this Sacred Ruins was full of amazing encounters! I came here with great joy! But I never expected to encounter such a terrifying undead squad as soon as I arrived at the outer edge of the Sacred Ruins!"
Lin Caogen stretched his muscles and bones, which creaked all over!
He slowly stood up and said, "Xun'er! We made the right decision to come to this Sacred Ruins! You must know that this saint was invincible in the world during his lifetime with the cultivation of a nine-star Immortal Saint. What a hero he was! Even after death, so many powerful armies of undead guarded his spirit! I must go to that hall to pay my respects to this person!"
Gu Xun'er was so shocked by Lin Caogen's bold words that she broke out in a cold sweat!
"Brother Lin! There are ninth-tier immortal beasts around that hall! They're comparable to immortal saints! They could kill all five of us in one move! Don't be impulsive!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Let's take it one step at a time! There's a mountain ahead, covered in dense forest, perfect for hiding! Let's take down that mountain and find shelter first!"
Gu Xun'er nodded and said, "Alright! I'll listen to you for the rest of my life!"
This is Du Yumei and Fang Xueyi helping Ling Chong to meet up with Lin Caogen and Gu Xun'er!
Zero said shamefully, "I'm sorry, brother! I never thought I couldn't even withstand a single move from that skeleton!"
Lin Caogen shook his head and said, "It's not your fault! Every one of those skeletons was at the Immortal Emperor level! If I hadn't used a sneak attack, I wouldn't have been able to kill them!"
Just as he finished speaking!
Gu Xun'er pointed into the distance and said, "Look!"
Everyone was shocked! The skeletons that Lin Caogen had shot dead earlier were now getting up! They pulled the iron arrows out of their foreheads and started walking towards the main hall!
"Holy crap! No way! It can't be killed!"
Lin Caogen broke down and whispered.
Gu Xun'er shook her head and said, "No! Although they have been resurrected, they haven't caused us any trouble! In my opinion, these skeletons are still injured and need to recuperate in the main hall for a while before they can regain their fighting strength!"
Ling Chong sighed, "This place is too terrifying! No wonder the Sword Sect Master said that even he himself could hardly protect himself! What should we do next!?"
Lin Caogen pointed to the small mountain in the distance and said, "There are dense forests on that mountain, perfect for hiding! And I see there are many exotic flowers and herbs on it! We can't come here empty-handed! Let's attack that mountain first and gather some herbs!"
Zero said, "Brother! Let me lead the charge this time! There are more than a dozen fourth or fifth-tier demonic beasts along the way! I should be able to kill them!"
Lin Caogen said, "Alright! Let's work together! I'll use my throwing knives to assist you!"
Since his Autumn Water Breaking Heaven Sword was broken in the battle with Tang Qiandao, Lin Caogen has been without a suitable weapon!
Zero-charged, wielding the Panlong Spear, charged ahead, while Lin Caogen supported him with a throwing knife!
Under the powerful suppression of Zero Charge's gun intent and the unpredictable assist of Lin Caogen's throwing knives!
More than ten fourth- or fifth-tier immortal beasts died along the way! Although Ling Chong was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, killing fifth-tier immortal beasts comparable to the Immortal Spirit stage was no problem for him! His overall combat strength was still very powerful! Even Gu Xun'er, who was now at the sixth-star Nascent Soul stage, was not as good as Ling Chong!
