Unlike the situation in the underground cave, Shen Yi's side was generally weaker than the beast tide.
In such a dangerous situation, Shen Yi would never allow his skeleton minions to devour him so easily.
If the situation stabilizes, Shen Yi will naturally choose to let all the skeleton minions use Devour Evolution freely.
But that's not actually the case.
As time goes on, the number of skeleton soldiers will increase. For every additional skeleton soldier that can be evolved through devouring, Shen Yi's side will become weaker.
Moreover, Shen Yi's strength relies on the power of unity. In other words, as long as his skeleton army suffers casualties, Shen Yi's strength will gradually decrease.
There will come a point in time when Shen Yi will be unable to handle the beast tide.
Moreover, Shen Yi didn't know where this beast tide came from, or whether more monsters were heading this way.
In reality, attempting to allow a large number of skeleton minions to devour and evolve under such circumstances would be suicidal.
If Shen Yi had mana, he could use [Corpse Manipulation] repeatedly to instantly boost his side's theoretical strength.
pity……
Shen Yi had neither enough mana nor the ability to perfectly handle the beast tide.
He could only lament his loss and lead Wu Yong away.
...
"Boss, you're awesome!"
Having just escaped the battle, Wu Yong didn't hold back in his flattery.
Shen Yi glanced at Wu Yong. "What did you want to ask me just now?"
He summoned the Skeleton Mountain Forest Giant Bear and walked away, saying, "It should still be some time before we reach the Misty Swamp."
"You can ask me anything now."
"Me? What can I ask!"
Wu Yong chuckled, "I just want to know, boss, how come you're so good at fighting?"
Shen Yi nodded, seemingly lost in thought. "So you want to probe my background?"
Wu Yong's expression changed instantly, his chubby little hands waving back and forth, his head shaking like a rattle drum.
"Boss, I didn't say that!"
The first sentence was meant to be flattering and shocking, but the second sentence practically turned Wu Yong, this honest and reliable young man, into a spy!
Shen Yi said calmly, "You've been following me just to spy on my background, haven't you?"
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Wu Yong smiled bitterly, "So in the end, boss, you still don't believe me."
"I don't distrust you."
Shen Yi's lips curled up slightly.
"If it were you, and someone of unknown identity and background said they wanted to come and seek refuge with you, what would be your first reaction?"
This is a very real problem.
Seeking refuge? On what grounds? On Chen Yi's personal charisma?
Even if Shen Yi has personal charm, Wu Yong has only spent such a short time with him, so how can he have any personal charm?
On what grounds?
Shen Yi's willingness to help Wu Yong and keep him by his side does not mean that he has let down his guard and chosen to completely trust Wu Yong.
Wu Yong said he was a gunnery division commander, and he couldn't lie about that.
Can……
A regular gunner?
Can an ordinary gunner be level 9?
Wu Yong was efficient and skilled at controlling the situation. He could even see through Shen Yi's thoughts and protect the Skeleton Demon Swordsman, allowing the Skeleton Demon Swordsman to devour him.
To be able to do that without any communication.
Shen Yi could tell at a glance that Wu Yong was definitely not simple.
The two of them are currently only in a relationship where one knows the information and the other needs to be led to defeat the boss.
In short, it's about mutual exploitation.
Most of the people who enter the instance are no more than twenty years old, and may not be that cunning, but Shen Yi is not.
He has lived two lives; if he doesn't understand such a simple truth, then he has lived two lives in vain.
Wu Yong scratched his head.
He scratched his head again.
"Stop scratching." Shen Yi said calmly. "Give me directions to the dungeon boss, the rest..."
"Okay, boss, I'll confess, I'll confess everything."
Wu Yong wasn't very tall, but he was quite wide, though he wasn't as big as the Skeleton Demon Swordsman. Just now, when the Skeleton Demon Swordsman carried him on his shoulder, he looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He sighed and simply adjusted his posture.
He looked at Shen Yi again, his expression becoming much more serious.
"Boss, have you heard of the 'Celestial Alliance'?"
“An alliance that is said to be composed entirely of geniuses.” Shen Yi searched his mind for information. “According to records, the founder of the ‘Celestial Alliance’ was a rare professional with a level of 80.”
"However, as far as I know, the Celestial Alliance has disappeared for a long time, and there are even rumors that the organization no longer exists."
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Wu Yong shook his head.
"Boss, I can tell you very clearly that the Heavenly God Alliance has not disappeared, and their people are still active in Great Xia."
“And what you just said is true, but not entirely true.” Wu Yong thought for a moment, “Initially, the Heavenly God Alliance was indeed such an organization.”
"They recruit geniuses, or those with great potential in their professions."
"The original philosophy of the Celestial Alliance was to unravel the mystery of dungeons. There are rumors that one of the products of the Celestial Alliance's research was the beginner dungeon."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "It sounds like the people from the Heavenly God Alliance are very capable."
Beginner dungeons are hailed as one of the greatest inventions in human history, improving the overall quality of players and significantly reducing the casualty rate of many weak early-game classes.
"That is why many ambitious people have joined the Celestial Alliance."
"But later, because a certain leader of the Heavenly God Alliance changed his policy, the Heavenly God Alliance changed."
"They began hunting down established professionals, legendary squads, and even rare professionals."
"So, they were destroyed."
Calm and undisturbed.
Wu Yong blinked. "Boss, don't you want to know their fate? Like, what did they do?"
Shen Yi said calmly, "For example, they recruited you, and you discovered that I am a necromancer, a rare profession. In order to implement the policies of the Celestial Alliance, you wanted to get close to me and then kill me..."
"Boss, Brother Yi!" Sweat beaded on Wu Yong's forehead. "Brother, can't you think of me in a better light? I'm still a..."
Shen Yi smiled. "Who are you? The young master of the Wu family?"
“I remember there was indeed a Wu family in Jiangdong, which was a large and established family.”
He seemed to be referring to something.
Wu Yongqiang laughed and said, "Boss, you figured it out a long time ago?"
"I didn't before, but I know now."
There is indeed a Wu family in Jiangdong, and they are very famous.
Shen Yi knew this, but he also knew that not every seemingly powerful person with the surname Wu was a member of the Wu family.
This was a lucky break; it brought Wu Yong out of the woodwork.
However, he had indeed realized that Wu Yong was no ordinary person. The people he had met before clearly knew Wu Yong. From their attitudes, Shen Yi could tell that Wu Yong was not as unknown as he claimed.
Just then.
A sudden change has occurred!
Boom—Boom—
The entire instance space began to tremble!
