The Skeleton General, resurrected from a skeleton sacrifice, is clearly more difficult to deal with than before.
Lightning strikes can leave marks on it, but they cannot completely destroy it.
The skeletons rushed forward like a suicide squad, one after another, filling the wounds on its body.
Xinghe cursed under his breath in anger, "You dog of a Heavenly Dao, your Heavenly Thunder is probably a fake, it can't even kill a skeleton."
Xinghe used all the talisman energy in his bag.
One moment it's fire, the next it's water, then thunder, then wood.
Skeletons have no feelings; as long as they don't die, they can keep attacking.
Xinghe also had to take care of the vulnerable humans beneath his feet, which made him somewhat hesitant in the fight.
She considered using the Ghost Path to send the others away first, but the magnetic field of this place was too strange, and she couldn't pinpoint the coordinates of this location.
Even using herself as the anchor point won't work.
Unable to pinpoint the coordinates, she couldn't open the Ghost Path, so she could only be constantly vigilant and watch out for those people.
The skeleton general seemed to have figured it out, and slowly moved its attack target towards the ants at its feet, which it looked down upon.
If it wanted to, it could crush several people with a single stomp.
Xinghe did not want to unleash his domain until the very last moment.
She moved away into the distance while drawing the Skeleton General's aggro.
Gradually, Xinghe discovered something strange.
The Skeleton General and the skeletons will not leave this area.
No matter how badly the Milky Way injures them, no matter how much they want to kill the Milky Way, they will return to this area.
Xinghe roughly sketched out the skeletons' activity range in his mind, and then had the paper figure lead the others out of the skeletons' activity range.
Things turned out exactly as Xinghe had predicted.
They will not chase after people who leave.
However, the paper figures also encountered a setback; they too could not leave this strange place.
Their range of movement is slightly larger than that of skeletons.
Outside the mass grave are rolling mountains.
The skull is more like a guardian deity of the mountain.
The Milky Way stared at them.
Suddenly, he rushed towards one of the spots.
With its ability to shrink distances to an inch, its speed was incredibly fast; in the next second, it had already appeared in front of the place that the skeletons had hidden so well.
They were clever; they didn't completely surround the place.
However, upon closer inspection, all the skeletons' movement paths were along the edge of this area.
No matter what I do, I will never stray more than fifty meters from it.
Xinghe calculated all the intricate routes and finally confirmed the existence of this place.
Sure enough, after Xinghe stepped onto that piece of ground, the skulls seemed to take on a physical expression and began to move toward Xinghe.
Before the skeletons could react, Xinghe slashed the ground with his sword.
The ground shook, revealing a secret passage.
Xinghe followed the secret passage and disappeared before the skeleton's eyes.
"No."
"No."
The skeleton tore at the wind and roared twice.
Then, all the skeletons fell off piece by piece, turning into white bones, and lay on the ground again.
Dust flew up, covering the piles of white bones, and everything returned to normal.
Except for the vanished Milky Way.
Sheng Lao Si's heart was in his throat. Ignoring the yellow paper figure's obstruction, he frantically tried to run over.
The moment he saw the Milky Way disappear, it felt as if something had stabbed his heart.
He couldn't imagine what he would do if Xinghe were gone.
Xinghe was still injured; the wound on her leg had not yet healed.
"Move aside, I need to go find her."
With red eyes, Sheng Laosi stared intently at the spot where Xinghe had disappeared.
"Calm down. Master is obviously prepared. If we go, we'll only cause her trouble."
"I can't just watch her disappear like this. I have to go find her. I can't wait here."
“She still has injuries on her legs, and she’s only nineteen. She’s scared too.”
Whether he was comforting himself or searching for some reason, Sheng Laosi spoke incoherently with red eyes.
Yu Hongbo grabbed Sheng Laosi's arm, "What good would it do if we went? We'd only be a hindrance."
His words calmed Sheng Lao Si down.
Yu Hongbo said, "Although it's cruel, it's the truth. We're good for nothing except dragging the team down."
“Without us, Master can come and go more freely.”
Sheng Lao Si slumped to the ground in defeat, covering his eyes with his hands.
The director of the research institute also stepped forward and said a few words, "The fairy is more powerful than we thought. She will be fine. Let's wait here."
The guard captain also said, "This place is very strange. We can't guarantee that the skeletons won't come back to life. It's best to wait here."
Without the support of Xinghe's spiritual power, the yellow paper figures and bean soldiers all returned to their original state, and the female ghosts were forcibly returned to the domain.
The yellow talisman floated down in mid-air, and Sheng Laosi reached out and caught it.
Everyone began to make preparations.
The institute director gave the guard captain a bone-regenerating pill, and watched as his severed arm grew back.
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, several people from the research institute would have loved to conduct a thorough study of this matter.
The injured person also took out medicine and applied it.
The guards were taking stock of the casualties.
There were more than 160 people in total, with 65 suffering minor injuries and 11 suffering serious injuries.
Fortunately, no one died this time, and those who were seriously injured were not in any life-threatening danger thanks to the medication provided by the research institute.
After escaping death, everyone's tense nerves relaxed temporarily, and after a moment of silence, they began to discuss the Milky Way.
Sheng Lao Si sat quietly to one side, looking at the yellow talisman in his hand.
The yellow paper talisman was cut crookedly and had a big smiley face drawn on it, which looked a bit eerie.
Sheng Lao Si could almost picture Xinghe holding a brush, drawing paper figures one by one.
She's so well-behaved, with such bright, curved cat eyes, and she'll even praise herself a couple of times after finishing a drawing.
She's so capable, but what do they think of her? They just see her as a country bumpkin who promotes feudal superstition.
Nothing compares to Yueyue—vulgar, scheming, and materialistic…
They attributed all the negative words to the Milky Way.
My heart felt like it was being soaked in acidic water, or like it was being pricked by needles, a constant, sharp pain.
My chest feels tight and uncomfortable, like there's a hole in it.
Yu Hongbo nudged Sheng Laosi twice with his elbow, "Hey, tell me about Master, I'm really curious."
"And how exactly did you two meet? And how did you offend my master? She doesn't seem to like you very much."
Yu Hongbo had been curious about this for a long time. As a top-level important member, Xinghe's identity and information were originally confidential.
Unfortunately, her conversation with Sheng Lao Si made it known throughout the research institute that Sheng Lao Si and Xing He seemed to be related.
The research institute has circulated more than a dozen versions of the story about the feud between Sheng Lao Si and Xing He.
Sheng Lao Si pursed his lips. "She is my sister."
"I know, I know, is she my cousin or my maternal cousin? You're really lucky, your ancestors' graves must be emitting auspicious smoke."
