Everything in the general territory was arranged properly. Lei Xiao brought Huzhang, Hongye, Lian, Randall, Bert, Orange Bai, Ye Cang, Ariel, Chao Yan, Benson, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue Gong.
The 12 subordinates, wearing invisibility cloaks, rushed towards the direction of Sean.
As for Xue Ya, Fa Xia, Bai Wei, A Ling, A Bing and others, they stayed behind to guard their territory, just in case.
Moreover, in order to further strengthen the defensive power in the territory, 24 earth guardians and 8 sky guardians were also left behind by Lei Xiao, and they were standing ready in the territory.
After all, this sudden undead army was already very close to the territory.
Under the bright stars, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the long-lost Tigerstick, could not help but show doubts while feeling the biting wind coming towards him.
Judging from the current situation, this sudden army of undead is obviously related to the mysterious hermitage that I have already explored.
But this inexplicable gathering place and method made people a little confused.
"However, what is certain is that the person who can control thousands of undead troops must be a fifth-level or multiple fourth-level necromancers."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's face became solemn again.
"The number of undead and the overall combat power that the Necromancer can control are equivalent to his own strength. From this alone, we can initially judge the strength of the manipulator behind it."
"Furthermore, in addition to manipulating corpses, other forbidden spells used by necromancers are also extremely difficult to deal with. They also use special methods of concealing their aura to hide among the undead and shoot cold arrows."
"Therefore, my primary goal this time is to find the manipulator of these corpses, subdue him first, and then figure out the ins and outs of this incident."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he suddenly heard a rustling sound above his head.
Squinting his eyes and looking up, Lei Xiao noticed it.
Above the pitch-black night, around the double moon, there were at least hundreds of skeletons of flying monsters, circling crookedly.
Among them, there are not only the common skeletons of large raptors and pterosaurs, but also a large number of short orioles.
Under the silver moonlight, these skeletons of flying monsters with hollow eyes and long pointed beaks reflected the cold white light and looked like they were blocking out the sky and the sun, which had quite a visual impact.
The forked white bone wings fluttered, and even the harmless chirping warbler made people's scalp numb.
"Good guy, this is a rare sight. If it wasn't around my territory, maybe I would stop and watch it."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the road ahead.
Follow the winding and rugged mountain road all the way up.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and the main force and subordinates to arrive in a valley surrounded by steep peaks.
At a glance, this depression with sparse vegetation was almost covered with densely packed skeletons of monsters.
In addition to the common skeletons of first-level monsters such as hexagonal earth ox, bluestone black python, frost sheep, and rock-horned wolf, there are also sharp-edged earth beasts with shaking bone plates, armored earth dragons with thick bones, and giant
The number of second-level monsters such as the Thorny Black Lizard should not be underestimated.
Lei Xiao even saw the corpses of some huge third-level beasts.
Wherever you look, you can see bones covered in pale color. They are either swaying or slowly squirming. Together with the mouth full of sharp white teeth and the sharp claws mixed with mud, it looks very shocking.
feeling.
Looking at the thousands of slowly moving bones of monsters, Lei Xiao first took a deep breath, then gently patted the knotweed's strong arms like steel bars and said: "Okay, let's go meet Sean and the others first.
."
"As you command, Lord."
After receiving the order, Huzhang immediately flashed and galloped towards a hidden cave not far away, which was the pterosaur lair where Sean and others were hiding.
In a matter of moments, Lei Xiao successfully saw the fully armed Sean and other ten third-order pterosaur knights.
Of course, there were also the sky pterosaurs huddled in the corner, shivering when they saw the red night.
"Subordinate, please see your lord!
Seeing Lei Xiao who was taking off his invisibility cloak, Sean and others immediately put away their sharp knight swords and knelt down to Lei Xiao.
"No gifts."
Lei Xiao, who had returned to the ground, nodded. He first signaled to the main subordinates beside him to pay attention to the movements outside. Then he frowned at the pterosaur knight captain and asked, "Sean, how did it happen in the first place?"
"Back to Lord Lord, the thing is like this, as usual, we are taking turns to closely monitor the movements of that secluded place..."
Sean bowed slightly and began to describe.
Through Sean's words, Lei Xiao learned.
The first night, everything was no different from usual.
However, just as Sean, who had just started his shift, blinked.
He suddenly felt that a black shadow seemed to flash into the secluded cave at an extremely fast speed.
"Lord, at first, my subordinate thought that he was dazzled. After telling another pterodactyl knight who saw nothing to stay put, he prepared to go to the secluded place to find out what was going on.
"
Sean still maintained his bowing posture and continued: "Just when I was approaching the entrance of the hermit cave, a strange and lengthy low-pitched spell suddenly came from inside. Only then did I fully confirm that
, there are indeed unknown persons entering the secluded place.”
"But just as my subordinates were returning quickly to report to the Lord, an energy wave filled with cold death energy rippled out from the cave."
Having said this, Sean swallowed involuntarily, and then said with some lingering fear: "In the end, this gloomy scene emerged."
"Lord, is it because the other party discovered Sean's traces that he summoned the undead army?"
I saw Chaoyan blinking his big eyes, coming closer, and thinking thoughtfully.
"Impossible. If the other party had discovered Sean's traces, they would have launched an attack long ago. How could they keep this undead army on standby?"
Shaking his head slightly, Lei Xiao said decisively: "There must be some other reason."
"What the lord said is absolutely true."
A crisp voice sounded, and the slender Hongye walked over from the entrance of the cave and said: "Currently, the comprehensive combat strength of this undead army is close to the size of half a legion, and it is still increasing."
"Then why did the other party summon this army of undead monsters?"
He rubbed his head and asked with confusion on his face.
"On this point, the only thing we can do is ask the shadow himself who entered the secluded place."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked the captain of the pterodactyl knight who was standing respectfully beside him: "Sean, from the beginning to now, the other party has been living in seclusion?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates can confirm that the hooded man in black robe has indeed never come out."
Sean touched his chest and saluted, and responded affirmatively.
"Very good, then let's go find the other party and ask them clearly, okay?"
With a slight snap of his fingers, Lei Xiao walked towards the entrance of the cave.
However, before Lei Xiao approached the entrance of the lair, Nan Xing's slightly surprised voice came over: "Lord, a man in black robes with a hood came out of the hermitage!"
"oh?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao quickened his pace, taking three steps and two steps, and arrived at the entrance of the lair.
From this position, you can have a panoramic view of most of the valley not far away.
Looking intently, I saw a hooded man in black robes appearing in front of the increasingly dense and mighty army of undead monsters. He looked like he was reviewing the army.
"Is your true purpose finally revealed?"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
I saw a burst of violent energy fluctuations suddenly rippling around the man in black robe.
The next second, the python skeleton with its sharp teeth and sharp teeth at the front, slowly squirming like earthworms, suddenly burst open, splattering bone debris all over the sky.
The resulting explosion shock wave shattered all the undead monsters in the front circle and turned them into dust all over the sky.
"This is one of the forbidden spells unique to the Necromancer: Bone Explosion!"
A slightly nervous voice sounded, and Chaoyan exclaimed softly: "Although this kind of terrifying explosive technique is only effective on corpses in most cases, if the opponent is willing to suffer the corresponding magical backlash,
Even weak opponents will explode on the spot!"
After a pause, Chaoyan said again with confusion on his face: "What does that mysterious guy want to do? Is it some kind of evil sacrifice ceremony?"
As soon as Chaoyan finished speaking, the necromancer released several more bone blasting techniques. The huge shock waves rippled, causing the bones of monsters dangling around him to fall one after another.
But because the number was too large, new skeletons of monsters immediately appeared, either walking stiffly or twisting their huge bodies, to make up for it from behind.
"No, this guy seems to be trying to destroy this undead army. The energy fluctuations contain only manic attack power."
On the other side of Lei Xiao, Hong Ye shook his head and said thoughtfully: "However, his strength is only at the peak level of the third level. Facing half an army of the undead alone, he is obviously somewhat powerless."
"But why did the man in black robe attack the undead he summoned?"
The puzzled expression on Chaoyan's little face became even worse, and he puzzled: "Furthermore, if the strength of the man in black robe is at the peak level of the third level, how can he summon such a large undead army?"
"What a different kind of manipulator. This kind of abnormal behavior is really puzzling."
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao immediately ordered: "In that case, let's divide the troops into two groups. Hong Ye will take Nan Xing Nan Yue to the secluded place to see if the guy has any accomplices, while the others will follow.
I’ll catch that guy first.”
After a pause, Lei Xiao looked at Sean and the other pterodactyl knights aside and said, "The ten of you will serve as backup in case of emergencies."
"As you command! Lord!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's instructions, all the subordinates bowed and said in unison.
Just when Lei Xiao and others started to take action.
In the very center of the valley, the necromancer in black robes was waving the short white jade staff in his hand, and his chest was rising and falling.
After releasing the most powerful Bone Explosion Technique nearly ten times in succession, the energy vortex in his body has begun to become sluggish. After all, this is a taboo spell that consumes extremely much magic power.
"Bone Explosion Technique!"
The brief low-pitched chanting ended, and a clear and sweet voice sounded from the black hood.
boom!
Following a violent explosion, the hooded man in black robe was about to cast a spell again.
A sudden big hand picked him up from behind.
Before the man in black robe could react, the wand in his hand instantly fell out of his hand.
At the same time, an extremely vast energy suddenly surged like a mighty mountain, completely stagnating the flow of energy in his body and making it impossible to continue using spells.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Although my daughter is a necromancer, she has never killed innocent people!"
Suppressed by the vast energy that he could not resist at all, the hooded man in black robe almost lost the ability to struggle, and could only keep shouting at the top of his voice like a kitten that was grabbed by the back of the neck.
In a panic, when her vision became clear again, she had already reached the edge of the valley.
In front of her, a group of figures exuding impressive aura stood proudly, constantly casting scrutinizing glances at her.
I saw the young man in the middle, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded and said: "Polygonum cuspidatum, let us see the true face of this guy."
Needless to say, this person is none other than Lei Xiao, and the thing that grabbed the man in black robe just now was naturally a knotweed.
"As you command, my lord."
Huzhang took the order and lifted the opponent's black hood with his other hand.
After the opponent's hood was taken off, a head of brown, messy, ear-length short hair emerged from it.
The bright moonlight reflected an extremely panicked, wheat-colored face, as well as a few freckles near the nose.
"A female necromancer?"
Looking at the panicked yet delicate face of the other party, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Judging from the appearance, this person is petite and exquisite, and he is probably in his early twenties.
However, this place is full of incredible different worlds. Naturally, one cannot use appearance to measure a person's age, let alone one's figure to measure a person's strength.
What's more, this guy is a necromancer who uses forbidden magic and is notorious on the road.
Just when Lei Xiao observed this place.
The female necromancer obviously noticed Lei Xiao's scrutinizing gaze and said quickly: "Master of the human race, my daughter is a good person and has never killed innocent people. Please don't kill my daughter!"
"Then let's first talk about who you are and why you did the weird behavior just now."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled lightly.
