"Boom~~~" At this moment, the massive loss of skeletons and ghosts in the spatial node finally triggered some of the big guys underground.
A slight tremor came from underground, and the ground in the distance gradually cracked open. Skeletons wearing tattered cloaks crawled out of the ground, holding a withered bone staff, and began to gather a large amount of death energy.
"Whoosh~~" A cold wind blew all around, and the scattered bones actually gathered together again under the influence of this force. Soon, brand new skeletons reappeared in front of everyone.
"It's a skeleton mage!" Ye Xi exclaimed. These skeletons and ghosts were already difficult to deal with, and now so many skeleton mages had arrived. They would be facing an endless stream of enemies.
"I'll deal with them! All archers, switch to explosive arrows!" Ye Ling shouted, and all the Silvermoon Elf archers switched to specially made arrows, which were made by the goblins.
The explosive arrows used when facing the Howling Moon Demon Wolf gave Ye Ling and Lu Ban a lot of inspiration. After returning, they created many special arrows, among which the explosive arrows were the most numerous.
"Archers, prepare! Fire!" Ye Ling gave the order, and dozens of explosive arrows flew out.
The bow and arrow have a slightly longer range than the magic crystal gun, and the magic crystal bomb has a much greater power and range than the magic crystal gun, making it perfect for dealing with skeleton mages.
"Whoosh~~" "Boom~~~"
The arrow flew past and landed beside the group of skeleton mages in the distance, followed by a huge explosion, which blew many of the skeleton mages to pieces.
"Well done!" Ye Ling's face lit up with joy; the explosive arrows were much more effective than she had imagined.
Their arrows were completely useless against these undead creatures, unless they hit their bones, in which case they could barely repel them; otherwise, they were basically just decorations.
The explosive arrows are proving very effective, much to the delight of the many Silvermoon Elves, who are now able to put their skills to good use.
However, Ye Ling's joy did not last long. The next moment, the broken skeleton mages actually stood up again, casually picking up the broken bones on the ground and stuffing them into their bodies, clearly without any problems.
"How could this happen?" Ye Ling exclaimed in surprise, clearly not expecting such an outcome. After the skeleton warriors were shattered, not one of them could stand up again.
“Skeleton mages are undead creatures of the mage class. They have extremely strong mental power. They can directly use their mental power to find broken bones to repair their bodies. As long as the soul fire in their heads is not extinguished, they can live indefinitely!” Bella explained, pointing to the skeleton warriors on the ground that had been reduced to a pile of bones.
Most of the skeleton warriors have perished, but a few still have soulfire flickering in their skulls. These skulls are slowly moving their jaws, trying to find bones that can repair their bodies.
"Boom!" A fireball shattered the skull, extinguishing the soul fire completely, and the skeleton warrior was finally annihilated.
"Must the soul fire be completely extinguished?" Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, then took out another explosive arrow, nocked it, and drew her bow.
"Whoosh~~~" Another explosive arrow flew out, accurately hitting a skeleton mage's eye socket and penetrating deep into the skull.
"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, and the skeleton mage was instantly blown to pieces, his hard white bones scattered all over the ground, and the soul fire that had been completely extinguished did not reignite.
"It's working! Shoot the explosive arrows into their skulls!" Ye Ling said with delight, giving the order again.
The Silvermoon Elves struck again, their innate archery skills making their arrows extremely accurate, and in an instant, five more skeleton mages fell forever.
This scene seemed to startle the enemy, and the remaining skeleton mages paced back and forth, trying their best to dodge the arrows from the Silvermoon Elves.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The roar continued, but the subsequent explosive arrows were unlikely to penetrate the skulls of the skeleton mages.
These were, after all, a group of nearly fourth-tier skeleton mages. Although their mobility was not high, their immense mental power allowed them to accurately pinpoint the path of the arrows and easily dodge them.
However, although the Explosive Arrow failed to kill them, it greatly hindered their spellcasting to resurrect the skeleton warriors.
Ye Ling and the others simply gave up on killing them. Each of them focused on one skeleton mage and prevented them from resurrecting the skeleton warriors. Whenever a skeleton mage stood up, they would shoot an arrow at it.
Although this approach consumes a great deal of resources, it is very effective in stopping the skeleton mages from moving.
The tide of battle gradually turned, and the unresurrectable skeleton warriors and ghosts were gradually driven back, with the battle lines advancing little by little.
In some areas, they can even free up their hands to sweep away the soil buried deep underground, preventing new skeleton warriors from appearing.
"Roar~~~" As the situation became increasingly unfavorable, a roar suddenly came from underground in the distance, the ground shook, and another new skeleton crawled out from underground.
"Who dares disturb my slumber?" The deep voice startled everyone. Looking up, they saw a skeleton mage, also clad in a robe, with soul fire emanating from his head.
As he appeared, deathly energy rose up across the entire territory and quickly surrounded him, as if he were the king of this world!
"Very strong energy fluctuations, this is a Tier 4 creature!" the explorer said in a deep voice, the aura emanating from afar was chilling.
"Not the Skeleton King? This skeleton gives off a much more sinister vibe; it seems to be a magic-type skeleton!" Ye Xi said solemnly. This skeleton gave off a very cold and terrifying feeling.
"It should be a magic-type skeleton. Let's bomb it first!" Ye Ling said without hesitation, taking out the few Tier 3 Explosive Arrows she had, nocking them on her bow, and shooting them at the enemy.
"Whoosh~~" The explosive arrow shot out, hitting the skeleton mage who had just woken up without fail.
"Boom~~~"
"It hit!" Ye Ling's face lit up with joy. The terrifying power of the Tier 3 Magic Crystal Bomb was something even a Tier 4 Howling Moon Wolf couldn't withstand, let alone this fragile Skeleton Mage.
"You annoying fly!" An impatient voice came from the smoke, causing Ye Xi and the others to change their expressions drastically. Before they could react, a black energy ball shot out from the smoke and rushed straight towards Ye Ling.
"Watch out!" Ye Xi exclaimed, her moon blade slashing down without hesitation, heading straight for the power ball. Taishan stepped in front of her to block it.
