"I didn't see it..."
The other teams also stopped.
Ye Qianyu recalled the slight sense of unease she had felt.
She clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
"They probably won't come down."
"What?"
How could that be?
Ye Qianyu sneered, "I didn't have this feeling before."
"If Chen Zhuo possesses an escape scroll, why would he still have to pay the price of two people?"
“If this place really wasn’t that dangerous, Chen Zhuo should have used the escape scroll to leave when he knew that his team couldn’t get through.”
The other team leaders were all stunned.
Upon closer reflection, that makes sense!
How stupid would someone have to be to use an escape scroll in a relatively easy underground cave, risking the lives of two people?
How stupid would someone have to be to come back and challenge a cave where two people die before they have a chance to use an escape scroll to leave?
They only realized such a simple truth now!
"you mean?"
Ye Qianyu scanned the crowd, "There's only one possibility..."
"The difficulty of this underground cave is enough to cause Chen Zhuo's team to lose two members before they even have time to react!"
In other words, we were scammed.
Damn it!
Ye Qianyu gritted her teeth.
If her team members hadn't been out of the instance, she wouldn't have missed a trap of this level!
Upon hearing Ye Qianyu's analysis, the others also realized what was going on.
"Damn it! Chen Zhuo actually dared to lie to us!"
"But why would he do that?"
"It might be for the rewards." Ye Qianyu sighed. "The rewards for the top ten in this dungeon competition are exceptionally generous. It's possible that he wants to use this method to eliminate his competitors."
"After all, any team that can enter the Ghostly Forest has the ability to compete for a top ten spot."
"I'm afraid Chen Zhuo did this for that reason."
That's the only reason for now.
But there are still some doubts.
If Chen Zhuo's goal is to eliminate all high-level teams entering the Ghostly Forest.
When did Wu Yuzhong start hooking up with him?
The two of them are causing trouble together... That doesn't make sense.
As far as she knew, Wu Yuzhong and Chen Zhuo did not have a deep relationship.
As Ye Qianyu was pondering, several team captains beside her turned to look at her.
"Miss Ye, what do we do now?"
Ye Qianyu was the most respected person present, and now that they had fallen into such a predicament, everyone unconsciously placed their support on Ye Qianyu.
"Let's explore the underground cave first."
Ye Qianyu was also somewhat helpless.
Since we're already here, we can't leave now.
Aside from exploring caves, there wasn't much else they could do...
...
On the other side of the underground cave.
The skeleton swordsman holds a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Before them stood three trolls wielding thick wooden clubs.
"roar!!!!!!"
The Skeleton Swordsman dodged the first troll's charge and swung his longsword straight at the second troll.
The third troll charged forward and rammed directly into the Skeleton Spellsword's shield.
The attack failed again!
The underground cave was exceptionally gloomy, and Shen Yi could only barely make out the battle situation thanks to the skeleton priest's magic.
Shen Yi felt that things couldn't continue like this.
If this continues, his skeleton army will be wiped out before he finishes killing all the goblins!
He gritted his teeth and hugged a small skeleton.
"You...don't be stupid and rush in!"
The little skeleton stared blankly at Shen Yi.
"Do you see these monster corpses?"
The little skeleton nodded.
"You're in charge of eating!"
The little skeleton paused for half a second, then nodded.
"You, you! All four of you, come here!"
Shen Yi then hugged four more skeletons.
"You two are responsible for moving the monster's corpse to it."
"You two are responsible for protecting it and letting it eat."
The four skeletons were stunned for half a second.
Then he nodded and got to work.
Shen Yi wasn't entirely confident either, and watching the five skeletons stagger along, he was truly on tenterhooks.
During Devour Evolution, the skeleton can only stand there dumbfounded, so Shen Yi always makes sure it's safe before letting the skeleton use Devour Evolution.
Right now, it's like being forced into a dangerous situation, risking one's life, but Shen Yi can't care about that now.
He didn't know how many goblins were still in the underground caves, but he couldn't keep wasting time like this.
He didn't have any way to replenish his mana, and he had been saving up these sixty-odd skeletons for a long time.
After acquiring the Ring of Unity, Shen Yi constantly fantasized about commanding thousands upon thousands of skeleton class changers, with attribute points so high that even the most powerful melee hidden classes couldn't defeat him.
So even if one of these skeletons is missing, Shen Yi feels heartbroken.
The skeleton priest led the way, casting spells on Shen Yi while leading the skeleton warriors against the goblins.
Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, the five skeletons are depicted in an unusually eerie style.
Two skeletons were stealthily moving a corpse.
After bringing it back, I threw it in front of the little skeleton.
The little skeleton's tiny hands were groping around.
Finish one, then move on to the next.
It's like working on an assembly line.
Shen Yi kept checking the little skeleton's level.
These goblins were all low-level monsters; even after the little skeleton devoured more than a dozen, it still couldn't level up to level 7.
"Eat faster! I'm getting impatient..."
Shen Yi scratched his head in frustration, while the little skeleton ate slowly and leisurely.
"It's truly a case of the emperor not being worried, but the eunuch being anxious!"
After cursing under his breath, Shen Yi inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
Not long after, five more skeletons were killed.
Chen Yi's heart was bleeding; he was so heartbroken that he was losing his mind.
Fortunately, the little skeleton that had devoured the forty-second goblin corpse finally began to emit bursts of light.
"It's been upgraded!"
"Stop eating! Go fight goblins with your second brother!"
The little skeleton glanced at Shen Yi again.
Why are you looking at me? Is there something wrong with my face? Look over there!
The little skeleton then hopped over to the second captain.
It picked up a broken stick at random.
Thump!
A goblin collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"Well done, third brother!"
Shen Yi didn't know what class the little skeleton had become, but it was still a professional in any case, and its attributes were definitely better than those of a plain skeleton warrior.
Its addition greatly reduced the pressure on the skeleton army.
"Stop moving the corpses, now you're in charge of eating."
"See your eldest, second, and third brothers? You've eaten your fill, so you're now the fourth leader. From now on, you'll get to eat meat and drink wine to your heart's content!"
The skeleton nodded quickly, its eyes filled with light, dreams, and a bright tomorrow.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yi suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.
"Does this count as making empty promises?"
"well!"
The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself!
"Don't blame me, I had no choice."
With the fourth brother's arrival, the situation had already stabilized.
Shen Yi had thirty skeleton warriors left, losing a full half of them.
