"Something's not right. In this situation, shouldn't the Familia be the ones rushing out? Why are the mechanical beings rushing out first?" the fat man asked in confusion. This kind of question was clearly beyond his level.
"Either the entire clan has died, or there are other unforeseen events!" Ye Chen said, otherwise there would be no reason to use mechanical bodies to resist the invaders.
The kin corrupted by darkness have become dark creatures. Although they retain the instinct to guard their territory, they cannot suppress their inner desire for life unless they die.
"So they're all dead, right? What else could have happened?" the fat man said, pursing his lips. This was the only explanation he could offer.
“That makes sense, unless they weren’t corrupted by the darkness, but how is that possible? The lord is dead, and the clans have lost the protection of the spark of hope, so how could they possibly survive?” Ye Chen nodded and said, but he was still puzzled.
At this moment, in the spatial node, after a short rest, Ye Xi watched as he and his men cautiously began to approach the center of the territory.
There is a relatively tall building there, and it is much less dilapidated than the other buildings. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the location of the lord's mansion.
"This place feels very strange to Mina, she seems very uncomfortable!" Mina, who was hiding behind the crowd, said, which made Ye Xi and the others turn their heads.
“That’s right, I have a similar feeling, it seems to have a very strong… death energy?” Ye Ling nodded in agreement. Recently, she has been studying various types of magic, so she is quite sensitive to the energy of the elements.
"Death energy?" Ye Xi was taken aback. Something flashed through his mind. He looked at the dark earth in front of him with horror, and he seemed to smell a faint fishy stench.
"Everyone back off! Mountain God, Earth God, control the ground beneath your feet!" Ye Xi suddenly shouted, turning around to lead everyone to run behind him.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, skeletal arms emerged from the soil beneath their feet, reaching out to grab their ankles.
"Ah~~~ Don't grab me! Don't grab me!" The goblins behind them immediately fell into chaos, with many of them being grabbed by these skeletal arms and trapped on the ground, unable to move.
"Mountain God, save people! Earth God, be careful! Silver Leaf Moon Elf and Moon Goddess, retreat at full speed!" Ye Xi quickly gave the order.
The mountain god was enormous, and these skeletal arms could not grab them, only leaving some scratches. At this moment, they were running back and forth behind them, rescuing the trapped goblins.
Fortunately, Ye Xi stopped in time, and since the goblins were originally at the back of the group, not many of them were trapped.
However, this chaos still resulted in the deaths of many goblins. There was no way around it; their bodies were too fragile. These goblins, which could only scratch the mountain god's skeletal arms, could easily tear their bodies apart.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Following the skeletal arm, the sound of bones breaking apart echoed, accompanied by the churning of earth.
One after another, skeletons wielding bone knives crawled out of the ground, their heads glowing with pale green soul fire, looking utterly terrifying.
"It seems these are the true masters of this territory, a bunch of undead skeletons!" Ye Xi said in a deep voice. When hundreds of skeletons appeared in front of her, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.
The most terrifying enemy is the unknown one. When the skeleton actually stood in front of her, it brought only pressure, not fear.
"Whoosh~~~~" A cold wind blew through the air. After the skeleton got up, ghostly figures floated out from the ground and danced above everyone's heads.
"Thunder, come!" "Boom!"
Mount Tai roared, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. He lashed the lightning in his hand at the ghost in the sky, dispelling it.
"You can handle the land, we'll take care of the sky!" Ye Xi said, leading a large group of Moon Goddesses and the Silver Leaf Moon Elves skilled in magic, and launched an attack on the sky.
Ghosts are basically immune to physical attacks, so the arrows of the Mountain God and the Silver Leaf Moon Elf cannot harm them; only Moon Goddess and magicians can deal with them.
"Whoosh~~~" In an instant, spells flew across the sky, including elemental magic from Bella and others, as well as spells used directly by Ye Xi and others. As the moon blades slashed, even the strongest ghosts vanished into thin air.
Moonmoon and Silverleaf Moon Elves possess the racial talent of exorcism, which makes them more effective against ghosts than the previous mechanical dolls.
"Mountain Gods, charge with me!" Taishan shouted from the other side, and ten mountain gods charged directly into the oncoming horde of skeletons, wielding their weapons and slicing through a large number of skeletons.
"Kill!" Mount Tai, his entire body enveloped in lightning, roared along with the other mountain gods, wielding his mountain-splitting axe as he fought relentlessly in the sea of skeletons.
"Goblins! Charge!" Seeing that the situation had been stabilized again, the goblins regained their fighting spirit and launched an attack on the sea of skeletons.
This is a race that is greedy for life and cowardly, and bullies the weak and fears the strong. When they found that neither skeletons nor ghosts could pose a threat to their lives, they immediately started jumping around again.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
A barrage of gunfire erupted, accompanied by the explosions of numerous magic crystal bombs. If Fatty were there, he would surely be heartbroken over the cost of his money; every round of attacks by the goblins was bought with money.
However, the effects of the magic crystal gun and magic crystal bomb were also significant. A large number of skeletons were blown away, and their already fragile bodies were even shattered into bone fragments, leaving only their heads with soul fire and consciousness.
The Tier 2 magic crystal bomb had an unexpected destructive power on these fragile skeletons. Although it could not directly extinguish their soul fire, it could not save their fragile bone bodies.
"Oh my god, this is too fierce! A level 3 skeleton and a level 3 ghost, should I go back and report to them?"
Ye Ying, standing at a distance, was terrified. She never expected to encounter such a scene as soon as she returned.
He immediately turned around and returned to the spatial node, muttering to himself, "No, I have to go and report to the lord again. What if even stronger creatures appear later?"
Ye Chen and Ye Ying, who were anxiously waiting outside, never expected that Ye Ying, who had just gone in, would come out again. They immediately surrounded her and asked, "How is it?"
Ye Ying took a breath before answering, "Skeletons! So many skeletons! And ghosts too, they're really scary! And they're very strong, mostly around level 3!"
The two were taken aback. Weren't they mechanical creatures? How did they become undead creatures? Wasn't that a bit too much of a leap?
