These undead creatures seem to be very afraid of the existence of the temple. Once they step into the temple, they will immediately become uneasy. Their first reaction after seeing the temple is to get away from it as quickly as possible.

Zhou Zhi and his companions were chased by a giant skeleton beast. This skeleton beast was extremely powerful, at least as strong as an elite BOSS. It was also huge in size and extremely powerful. Zhou Zhi even felt that the power attribute of this skeleton beast had exceeded the maximum value of 50 points for a third-level apostle, and might have reached 60 or even 70 points.

With the strength of Zhou Zhi and his companions, it was difficult to contend with it. Fortunately, this giant skeleton beast was huge in size, so its movement speed would naturally not be too fast, which allowed Zhou Zhi and his companions to escape here.

"Deputy Director, the temple is ahead!" Zhou Jie looked up into the distance and could vaguely see a magnificent building. A look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

As a mage, movement speed is his shortcoming. If Zhou Jie did not have an acceleration skill, he would have been caught up by the skeleton beast long ago.

However, the continuous use of acceleration skills has also exhausted Zhou Jie's mental strength. If he can't make it to the temple, Zhou Jie may not have the energy to use the acceleration skills anymore.

"Deputy Director, it's Xu Feng and Di Qiu!" Hou Zijian had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the two people who had been waiting in front of the temple gate.

"It seems that the two of them have arrived first..." Zhou Zhi felt relieved. This was the first time that Xu Feng entered the secret realm of the Dry Bone Temple to explore. Although he had learned about the secret realm in advance, it was full of dangers. Zhou Zhi was worried that Xu Feng would encounter danger after entering the secret realm. Now that he saw Xu Feng was safe and sound, Zhou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Deputy Director, we've been chased by this big guy all the way. Now that we're all together, how about we give it a try?" Hou Zijian looked eager to try.

Zhou Zhi hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "Don't meddle with other people's business. Our mission this time is not to get entangled with this big guy..."

If the person who entered the secret realm this time was not Xu Feng, but another member of the elite team who was recuperating, Zhou Zhi had the confidence to gather everyone's strength to stop the giant skeleton beast in front of him. However, this was Xu Feng's first time entering the secret realm, and he had never joined forces with others to fight an enemy. Zhou Zhi was worried that Xu Feng and the others had no tacit understanding, and if mistakes were made in the battle, it would probably implicate others.

However, as soon as Zhou Zhi finished speaking, Xu Feng and Di Qiu in the distance had already rushed towards them. Di Qiu even summoned two giant wolf war pets and a cheetah more than two meters long, aiming directly at the giant skeleton beast behind them.

"Don't be afraid, Deputy Director, we are here to rescue you!" Di Qiu shouted while running. In his opinion, with Xu Feng's strength, it was more than enough to deal with this giant skeleton beast. What's more, they had so many people now, so it was a good opportunity for him to show off in front of Zhou Zhi.

When Zhou Zhi saw Di Qiu and Xu Feng rushing towards them, as if they were going to fight the giant skeleton beast behind them, his face suddenly turned livid and he gnashed his teeth and cursed, "This idiot!"

"Deputy Director, what should we do now?" asked Hou Zijian.

"Turn back, stop that big guy, surround it together and kill it!" Zhou Zhi roared.

If they continued to flee towards the temple at this time, it would be easy for Di Qiu and Xu Feng to be trapped in front of the giant skeleton beast. If it was just Di Qiu, it wouldn't matter. He could just let this guy cover their retreat. He had so many pets anyway, so it didn't matter if a few more died. Moreover, Di Qiu's position in the team was to be responsible for covering their retreat. After leaving the secret realm, everyone else would help Di Qiu catch a few more wild beasts as pets.

Zhou Zhi roared and swung the heavy knife in his hand to chop hard at the shin bone of the skeleton beast. As a melee profession, although not a defensive warrior, Zhou Zhi always played the role of MT in the battle.

At this moment, a low and desolate horn sound suddenly came from behind him, and a picture suddenly emerged in Zhou Zhi's mind. On the vast plain, warriors of countless races were fighting each other. An orc priest blew a horn, and the battle on the battlefield suddenly became more tragic.

At the same time, a hot and bloodthirsty emotion surged from the bottom of his heart. A dark red appeared in Zhou Zhi's eyes, his muscles bulged, and a faint bloody aura appeared around his body. He seemed to become even more crazy.

At this time, a buff effect called "War Horn" appeared in Zhou Zhi's status bar, with all attributes +10, health +1000, defense increased by 15%, resistance increased by 15%, movement speed increased by 30%, and attack damage increased by 20%. Such a terrifying status bonus has forcibly raised Zhou Zhi's strength to a higher level. When he swung the heavy knife at the shin bone of the skeleton beast again, he immediately broke the leg bone of the skeleton beast.

The giant skeleton roared, with a hint of panic in its voice, and swung its right claw to slap Zhou Zhi away. The next moment, it fell to one knee on the ground.

"Deputy Director!" Zhou Jie's face suddenly changed when he saw the deputy director being thrown out like a baseball. He rubbed his hands in front of his chest and kept sliding them, muttering something. After a while, a huge fireball slowly emerged as Zhou Jie rubbed his hands.

"Exploding fireball, go!" At this time, a faint dark red aura lingering around Zhou Jie's body, and the power of the fireball he released increased greatly. As Zhou Jie released it, the fireball dragged a long tail flame and smashed towards the skeleton beast.

The fireball, which could only leave charred marks on the skeleton beast before, actually exploded directly in the skeleton beast's chest this time. Countless broken bones flew everywhere, and a big hole was blown in the skeleton beast's chest. A thick black mist floated out from the big hole in the chest. At the same time, the flame of the exploding fireball began to burn fiercely in the skeleton beast's chest, and a heart-wrenching scream came from the skeleton beast's mouth.

Zhou Jie was stunned for a moment, and looked down at his hands: "When did my fireball become so powerful? It actually severely injured the skeleton beast with just one strike!"

"Hey, this guy seems to have become weaker!" A look of surprise appeared on Hou Zijian's face. He glanced at the dark red halo that appeared on the sharp blade in his hand, and rushed towards the giant skeleton lying on the ground like an arrow.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Kill him while he’s ill!

The thief’s favorite thing is to harvest the last drop of blood from seriously injured monsters!

Brilliant Lotus! Hou Zijian rushed to the monster, roared, and began to spin at high speed with the blade in his hand. The blade shone like a blooming lotus, cutting the skeleton beast's body non-stop.
