These skeleton beasts look scary, but in essence they are no different from the lowest level skeleton soldiers.

But the secret realm apostles are different. Their physical fitness is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, so they can be used to create more advanced undead creatures.

Through the bone altar, the necromancer was able to see He Bing and the others, and could also sense their physical fitness. The one who surprised him the most was Xu Feng.

A secret realm apostle whose physical fitness is almost reaching the requirements of the Black Iron Body is an excellent material for making a Death Knight. Although it is difficult to make a Death Knight with the materials currently on hand, for the Necromancer, being able to have such a physical material is already a pleasant surprise.

"Skeleton beasts, go out and bring these people back, dead or alive..." The necromancer ordered: "Don't destroy their bodies, it's better to keep them intact."

Deep in the cave, pairs of dark green eyes lit up, and then these dark green eyes turned red, and hundreds of skeleton beasts began to move.

Songtao City, City Defense Office

When Deputy Director Zhou Zhi received the message from He Bing, his face became serious. He immediately found Director Xu and reported the situation.

"The natives in the secret realm of the Dry Bone Temple have escaped!"

This simple sentence made Xu Nantian's heart tighten suddenly. The Secret Realm of the Dry Bone Temple was a third-level secret realm. Although it was also a low-level secret realm, the number of third-level apostles in the entire Songtao City would not exceed one hundred. However, in the Secret Realm of the Dry Bone Temple, monsters comparable to third-level apostles were everywhere.

"How many escaped?" Xu Nantian asked in a deep voice.

"There are not many, maybe only one or two!" Zhou Zhi showed Xu Nantian the photos sent back by He Bing.

Seeing the familiar bone altar, Xu Nantian concluded in his heart that some creatures from the secret realm of the Bone Temple must have escaped, otherwise so many bone altars would not have been built.

"Team One is currently exploring the secret realm of the Dry Bone Temple and will not be able to return in a short time..." Xu Nantian said after a moment's silence: "You take Team Three to provide support. The most important thing is to find out how many people have escaped and try to avoid a fight!"

Zhou Zhi is a third-level apostle. His initial occupation is swordsman, and he is seeking to advance. Swordsman is a basic combat occupation, so there are many advancement paths to choose from. Zhou Zhi has not decided which one to choose yet.

However, Zhou Zhi never took the monsters in the secret realm of the Dry Bone Temple seriously. Apart from the strange body remains enshrined or suppressed in the temple, Zhou Zhi had almost no rivals in the secret realm of the Dry Bone Temple.

The members of the third team were quickly gathered, and several off-road vehicles quickly drove out of the city defense office and headed towards the Dead Man's Ditch.

At the same time, He Bing and his companions retreated several hundred meters and began to rest temporarily. The next moment, Xu Feng's face suddenly froze. He stood up abruptly and looked towards the depths of the Dead Man's Ditch.

Although he didn't notice anything unusual, he could sense that a terrifying danger was quickly approaching them.

"Captain,..." Xu Feng was about to sound the alarm, but He Bing seemed to have noticed something was wrong. With a serious expression, he grabbed a handful of black soil from the ground and chanted a spell.

After a while, several cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, spreading radially in all directions.

The next moment, the ground began to tremble slightly, and countless white skeleton beasts appeared in the distance, like a flood, rushing through the valley.

"Undead creatures, prepare for battle!" He Bing said in horror.

The skeleton beasts were extremely fast, and they had no chance of escaping. They could only hold their ground. The support message had already been sent out, and if they could wait until the support arrived, they still had hope of survival.

“This, so many…” Seeing the flood of skeleton beasts, Wei Jian was so scared that his face turned pale and he almost cried out of anxiety: “I, I haven’t learned the group attack skills yet!”

Level one, two and three secret realm apostles are low-level, levels four, five and six are mid-level, and levels seven, eight and nine are high-level. Once you reach a high level, you will have the opportunity to challenge and become a transcendent. You don't have to reach level nine to take the challenge.

In his previous life, Xu Feng went to challenge it when he was at level eight, but unfortunately he failed in the end.

Low-level apostles are in the foundation-laying stage, and their main purpose is to improve their physical fitness, master some low-level skills, and adapt to the identity of secret realm apostles. At this stage, it is difficult to master a wide range of spell skills, so low-level secret realm apostles can actually be killed with human wave tactics.

Xu Feng thought of his lightning talisman. If he could draw the talisman in the air, he could create a lightning effect in a small range. However, the range was too small. Even if he cast it, it could probably only cover two or three skeleton beasts at most. With the time and energy, throwing a few more paper talismans would also achieve the same effect.

Whoosh~ Two soul fire talismans flew towards a skeleton beast that was rushing in the front. The skeleton beast was fearless and painless, and did not dodge or evade the attack. The paper talismans stuck to the skeleton beast without any hindrance.

Boom! A violent explosion sounded, directly blowing the skeleton beast into pieces, but its position was soon filled by the skeleton beast behind it.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Attack, attack freely!" He Bing shouted loudly, and at the same time began to control the power of the earth. The ground shook violently, and after a while, an earth wall more than three meters high appeared in front of everyone.

"How can we attack like this?" Xu Feng was helpless. He took back the Soul Fire Talisman that he was about to throw out.

"Run, run!" He Bing shouted loudly, "The earth wall won't hold out for long. I remember there's a cave halfway up the mountain. Let's hide there!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Although the valley was not big, it was more than ten meters wide. They could not resist at all. Even with the earth wall, they could not hold out for long. If they could stay in a cave halfway up the mountain, their chances of survival would increase a lot.

"Go, go, go quickly!" Wei Jian was the first to respond, put away his crossbow, turned around and ran back.

Several other people followed suit, and after a while, they heard the sound of a collapsing earth wall behind them, and everyone couldn't help but speed up a bit.

The earth wall that He Bing had used up almost all of his mental strength to concentrate lasted less than three minutes before it was destroyed by a group of skeleton beasts. He Bing sighed in his heart. He could deal with three or five of these skeleton beasts at the same time, and they would not pose any danger to him at all. But once their number increased, not to mention him, a first-level apostle, they could pose a threat even to a third-level apostle.

"My level is too low. The enemies I will encounter in the future will become more and more dangerous. I must improve my strength as soon as possible!" He Bing made up his mind to advance, but now, he must first survive from the mouths of these skeleton beasts.
