The two were taken aback; this guy was incredibly fast, unlike the usual clumsy skeleton soldiers.
The three quickly engaged in battle. Pei Mianman tried several times to burn her opponent with flames, but each time she was interrupted by the opponent's fierce attacks.
The skeleton warrior's attacks were incredibly powerful; with his long spear, his attack range extended several meters around him.
Normally, such a long weapon would be a disadvantage in close combat, but once they finally got close, the opponent wielded that serrated round shield, which could both defend and attack, making him like a hedgehog, leaving the two of them helpless.
A moment later, Zuan and Pei Mianman were both hit and fell against the wall. Fortunately, they managed to avoid the sharp blades at the critical moment, thus avoiding being disemboweled.
Just as the skeleton warrior was about to press his advantage, a series of "whimpering" roars suddenly came from not far away, accompanied by heavy footsteps.
The three people in the main hall subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see five Taotie slowly walking over.
The skeleton warrior abandoned the two from Zaun and turned around, gripping his long spear and gazing at the Taotie. Although his face was covered in white bones, his solemn expression was still evident.
The gluttons didn't even look at Zuan; instead, they roared at the skeleton warrior.
Zuan was a little curious: "That's strange. Given the gluttonous instinct of Taotie, it should be more interested in flesh and blood like us. Why did it target that skeleton directly?"
Pei Mianman murmured, "Merchants love conquest and war. In order to intimidate the surrounding states, they captured the ferocious beast Taotie, trained it, and put it into the army. But Taotie is extremely fierce and will certainly not surrender easily. So in the hundreds of years of hunting, countless Taotie died at the hands of merchant warriors, and at the same time, countless merchant warriors were devoured by Taotie. So the two sides are natural enemies, and once they see each other, it is a fight to the death."
Zuan's eyes widened: "How do you know so much?"
Pei Mianman also showed a hint of doubt, subconsciously rubbing her forehead: "I don't know either. Just now, a lot of images seemed to appear in my mind. Those images were both strange and familiar. When I heard your question, I answered instinctively."
