Xiao Shi led Jiang Hao and ten others into the breach in the boundary barrier north of Dingbei City. Then, guided by Jiang Hao's senses, they flew westward.
Along the way, one could see armies of summoned skeletons everywhere, battling the skeleton monsters below. In some places the skeleton monsters were stronger, and in others the summoned skeletons were stronger. What should have been a one-sided battle was clearly still undecided.
However, it's noticeable that a small portion of the epic-level skeleton monsters have already been subdued by the little skeletons, and it's estimated that it won't be long before the little skeletons have taken down all of them. As for the remaining countless low-level skeleton monsters, aside from the fact that their sheer number will require a significant amount of time to subdue them, there's not much else to do.
However, Jiang Hao might not be able to see the little skeleton subdue all the monsters in the entire summoning space until the barrier breaks and merges.
What puzzled Jiang Hao was that since he entered the summoning space, the little skeleton hadn't summoned anything for him. It just stood motionless in front of the mist.
Perhaps it was because of its overwhelming aura or its overwhelming killing intent, not a single skeleton monster was willing to enter within a hundred meters of it.
Little Shit, leading Jiang Hao and nine others, was flying towards the Little Skeleton. The Little Skeleton said to Jiang Hao, "There's danger in the mist, don't get too close."
Although it didn't turn its head, it clearly sensed Jiang Hao's presence.
Jiang Hao quickly stopped and hovered 200 meters behind the little skeleton.
Jiang Hao suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and nausea. He immediately bent over and pressed his right hand tightly against his chest. Jiang Hao suddenly felt extremely annoyed, as if he couldn't breathe properly because he was in Xiao Shi's mouth. Jiang Hao suddenly felt extremely terrified, as if the sky was about to collapse and crush him into a piece of paper at any moment...
Frustration, nausea, fear, weariness, pain, hatred, sadness, desolation... all sorts of negative emotions surged within him, causing him to alternate between bursting into tears and smirking...
The other teammates, like Jiang Hao, reacted differently, but their expressions of madness and distortion were no less intense than Jiang Hao's. Clearly, everyone who had ventured in here, regardless of their strength, had fallen into some kind of inexplicable trap.
Little Shit's body swayed unsteadily, and finally, unable to hold on any longer, it fell to the ground. Its expression was blank; clearly, Jiang Hao's soul was under some kind of control, and Little Shit had also become blank as a result.
Then, Little Shit vanished in a flash, leaving Jiang Hao and the others completely oblivious, utterly controlled by the eerie atmosphere.
At this moment, another strange change occurred directly in front of the little skeleton. A white bone suddenly emerged from the ground, growing slowly like a plant seedling. The surrounding bones began to attach themselves to that bone, and more and more bones twisted and grew, eventually forming a humanoid skeleton monster more than five meters tall.
This skeletal monster was composed of countless white bones, which were densely packed and crisscrossed, revealing the image of a terrifying great mage.
The little skeleton flicked its finger backward, and a ray of invisible black light shot into Jiang Hao's head. Jiang Hao instantly regained his senses. At the same time, Jiang Hao saw the madness of his teammates around him, and noticed that Xiao Shi's soul was in complete chaos, like a headless fly, darting back and forth within the summoning space. At the same time, Jiang Hao saw a strange-looking skeleton monster on the little skeleton's right shoulder.
The monster resembled a skeletal archmage, but it was strange because, like Little Shit and the Ice Silkworm, it had a layer of bone "skin" on its body. However, this skeleton's skin and bones were much rougher, and their arrangement was extremely chaotic, making it look more like a celestial being who had grabbed a handful of bones and arbitrarily kneaded them into a skeletal monster.
Its terrifying aura, though not as overwhelming as the little skeleton's, was still quite frightening. The little skeleton was facing it directly, and Jiang Hao, staring at its back, noticed a hint of tension in the little skeleton.
Baron Feldman!
Yun Xinghe's scream rang in Jiang Hao's ears, and only then did Jiang Hao realize that his teammates had all returned to normal. At the same time, they were looking at Yun Xinghe with confusion.
Yun Xinghe unconsciously hid behind Jiang Hao and quickly said, "Legend has it that it was born along with the Netherworld. As long as the Netherworld exists, it will never die."
Yun Xinghe swallowed and said, "According to the records passed down through the ages, it once led its skeleton army to invade thousands of large and small realms and destroyed countless civilizations."
"No one knows its origin. Someone once saw it crawl out of an ancient tomb, and from the tombstone, we know that the tomb's occupant was a baron named Feldman. That's all we know about it. Oh, if we don't count its special ability to resurrect itself every time it dies."
Can one be resurrected after every death?
Jiang Hao instantly realized a possibility. Could this skeleton be a summoned creature of someone?
The others looked at the countless skeletal monsters around them, and the seemingly endless pile of white bones beneath their feet. The more they looked, the more chilling and terrifying it became.
Unconsciously, the group began to retreat. Although they were relatively confident, they weren't confident enough to resist a legendary skeleton monster that could resurrect infinitely.
Jiang Hao could sense the tension in his teammates behind him. Through the little skeleton's shoulder, Jiang Hao glanced at Baron Feldman again.
It now wore a cloak woven from white bones and a crown woven from white bones. Its aura grew increasingly intense, as if it had accumulated boundless power within its body, waiting to erupt completely at a certain moment and destroy this hateful and detestable world.
Jiang Hao suddenly sensed the tension in the little skeleton's soul. Even the little skeleton wasn't confident it could defeat it?
Jiang Hao didn't know what to do, so he instinctively raised his staff. Baron Feldman, however, was focused on the little skeleton and paid no attention to Jiang Hao's actions.
The little skeleton finally moved. It bent its right leg and crouched down, preparing to lunge forward. Then, it suddenly straightened its right leg, and its body flew out.
Jiang Hao could only see a white shadow rushing towards the Skeleton Baron. The Skeleton Baron stretched his arm slightly forward, and a white bone shield that rippled back and forth like water suddenly appeared in front of him.
The next moment, the bone shield shattered like a bubble, and the little skeleton's hand, like a sharp knife, pierced Feldman's chest.
