Skeleton Mage Leader

Bai Pu checked the Skeleton Warrior's attribute panel. As its master, he could freely view his servant's attribute information without needing any skills or paying any price.

[Skeleton Warrior/Elite Level 2]

[Race: Undead/Bone]

[Class: Skeleton Warrior]

[Attributes: Strength 21+7, Agility 12, Constitution 15, Spirit 6]

[Class Skill: Savage Strike: Passive, attacks deal extra physical damage and knock back the opponent.]

[Combat Expertise: Advanced Weaponry (Two-Handed Swords) Level 3, Advanced Combat Level 2.]

[Combat Skills: Whirlwind Strike, Weapon Block, Relentless Assault]

28 points of Strength! Definitely stronger than a Level 3 Strength-type elite creature.

Bai Pu also checked his class experience bar. After clearing this wave of monsters, his class experience bar had risen to 59%, gaining a full 3% of experience! With the vastness of the Black Mist Valley and the abundance of monsters, Bai Pu would definitely be able to level up to Level 2 as long as he cleared a few more waves of monsters.

Bai Pu sat down cross-legged, took off the Iron Thorn Shoulder Guard, and began to inscribe the Flesh Rune.

Half an hour later, the Flesh Rune was successfully inscribed. Bai Pu got up, put on the Iron Thorn Shoulder Guard, picked up another handful of pebbles, and began his second wave-clearing session.

Just as Bai Pu was happily clearing monsters, suddenly the whistling sound of an arrow piercing through the air came, and a flaming arrow exploded above Bai Pu's head.

Flames splashed everywhere, and the surrounding skeleton monsters, which were already low on health, fell one after another, turning into bone fragments.

Bai Pu was furious.

The Spirit Realm Will's allocation of experience points was based on the contribution to the kill, and had nothing to do with whether it was the final blow.

But the final blow inherently meant at least 20% of the kill contribution!

Bai Pu's Flesh Armor had low single-instance damage and relied on time to accumulate damage, unlike the high damage of this exploding arrow. At least 20% of the experience points from this wave of monsters had been stolen! "Who is it?" Bai Pu said in a cold voice.

In the black mist, an Awakened with a bow and arrow on his back and a small mustache walked over with a smile on his face.

"Brother, what's your name? I see you're all alone, do you want to team up?"

"Get lost." Bai Pu didn't bother with pleasantries at all. The other party was already blatantly stealing experience, so what was there to say?

"Hey, that's not right of you." The mustached man said plausibly, "This Black Mist Valley isn't yours alone. I also paid Spirit Energy Points to come in. Can't I kill monsters when I see them?"

"Are you going to get lost or not?" Bai Pu raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a coldness.

"Haha, you're just a tank, relying on your tough body and having some area-of-effect magic damage, and you dare to be so arrogant?" The mustached man saw that he couldn't fool Bai Pu, so he simply stopped pretending. "I have an agility specialization, and my walking speed is faster than your running speed. What can you do to me?"

Bai Pu's body flashed with a bloody light, and suddenly he leaped high into the air. When he landed, the bone hammer struck down from above! He actually directly activated Leaping Strike and launched an attack on the mustached man.

The mustached man's figure fluttered, and a green light flashed under his feet, as if he had springs attached to him, jumping back seven or eight meters. He even had the leisure to mock, "How many dash skills do you have? I'm going to stick with you today. You lure a monster, and I'll kill one!"

However, before the mustached man could stand firm, a tall figure had already rushed over!

The hilt of the greatsword struck his stomach, instantly causing the mustached man's body to stagger, resembling a lobster, his eyeballs bulging out. A mouthful of sour water spewed out.

The Skeleton Warrior activated Relentless Assault! Bai Pu's own attack power was really low, so he launched Leaping Strike with the intention of feinting, the real killing move was the Skeleton Warrior!

As he slammed into the mustached man, causing him to stiffen, the Skeleton Warrior swung his greatsword, and after a slight accumulation of power, directly chopped down vertically, one strike causing the mustached man's blood to spurt wildly!

Little Mustache was greatly horrified. He hadn't expected Bai Pu to have a Skeleton Warrior servant, let alone that this Skeleton Warrior would be so powerful, reducing his health by more than half with one skill and a normal attack! Awakened ones who encounter danger in the Intersection Lands, without the constraints of main quest penalties, can directly choose to leave the Intersection Lands and return to reality. However, doing so would mean losing this opportunity to explore and level up in the Intersection Lands! Then again, you only have one life. It would be foolish to not leave when facing mortal danger and instead hope for mercy from your opponent. No law would care if you died.

Leave, or not leave?

If it were someone else, Little Mustache might have tried to negotiate or beg for mercy.

But Bai Pu's ruthless tone and his habit of attacking at the slightest disagreement made Little Mustache deeply feel that he was dealing with a reckless hothead. He feared that if he ran too slowly, he would be mercilessly killed by his opponent!

Therefore, with a flash of white light, Little Mustache's figure faded and disappeared. He had decisively left the Dead Bone Mountain Range Intersection Lands.

Bai Pu's expression remained unchanged. Little Mustache's actions were largely within his calculations.

After driving away Little Mustache, Bai Pu continued his one-wave monster farming endeavor. His class experience and combat expertise were steadily and efficiently improving.

Dead Bone Mountain Range, Glacier Danger Zone.

This was a level 3 area marked on the map, and a dangerous place where leader-level monsters appeared.

Before a frozen tomb, a Skeleton Mage, two meters tall and slender, stood gracefully, fighting several Awakened.

The Skeleton Mage exuded cold air, wore a black robe with blue patterns, and even emitted sparkling blue ice crystals. With such an impressive appearance, it was clear that it was a powerful leader-level creature.

Fighting against the Skeleton Mage were none other than three members of the second batch of God Strategy Army Genius Camp trainees:

Monk Golden Bull, serving as the tank; the archer Mad Dog of an unknown class, serving as the DPS (damage output role); and Word Spirit Master Qilin, serving as support.

"Quick, the magic resistance potion's time is almost up, output damage quickly!" Qilin urged.

All three were already panting, clearly reaching their limits. The Skeleton Mage Leader they were fighting, however, had half of its body broken, and several arrows were stuck in the gaps of its bones, indicating that it had also suffered significant damage.

The Skeleton Mage Leader pointed a finger, and a point of ice crystal condensed at its fingertip, then shot out.

The target was Mad Dog, who had the highest output!

Mad Dog moved in advance, dodging and weaving. But the ice crystal spike, as if it had its own navigation, slightly changed its trajectory and still grazed Mad Dog's side ribs, causing frost damage and a slowing effect.

"Don't be careless, use your skills when you need to!" Qilin shouted, "The BOSS's Meditation skill is very high, it has trajectory correction!"

"I know!"

Mad Dog said in a muffled voice, "Golden Bull, buy me three seconds!"

As he spoke, Mad Dog knelt on one knee, and a scarlet light flashed on his body. The great bow shone with magnificent colors, as if illuminated by the sunset.

Mad Dog laboriously drew back the bowstring. The bow, which he could usually draw easily, now felt as if it were weighed down by a thousand pounds.

As the bowstring was gradually drawn back, a slightly illusory scarlet arrow slowly formed between Mad Dog's left thumb and forefinger.

The Skeleton Mage Leader sensed the threat and immediately raised its staff, putting a layer of frost shield on itself, and then began to chant a spell. The chilling mental fluctuations spread throughout the field, and even those who did not understand the meaning of the spell felt a chill down their spines.

Golden Bull threw a series of punches, but the force was weakened by the frost shield, and only a small amount was transmitted to the Skeleton Mage Leader, unable to interrupt its spellcasting at all.

"My Jade Breaking Fist doesn't have enough priority, it can't penetrate!" Golden Bull said in a muffled voice.

Before Golden Bull spoke, Qilin had already opened a golden book. He chanted incantations and suddenly pointed at the Skeleton Mage Leader: "Fire, fire, fire! Yan!"

Three wisps of fire rose on the frost shield, suddenly turning into raging flames! Qilin used fire to counter ice, and relying purely on fire damage under the attribute advantage, he exhausted the absorption of the frost shield.

Golden Bull stepped forward, a punch bringing out a transparent fist force, causing the Skeleton Mage Leader to shake all over, and the spell it was brewing declared failure.

"Mad Dog, it's up to you!" Golden Bull shouted.

"Coming!" Mad Dog laboriously drew the bowstring to its full extent, the magnificent crimson arrow had completely formed, as if condensed from the sunset!

"Sunset Arrow!" Mad Dog shouted his skill name to increase his momentum.

Whoosh! With a sharp whistling sound, the crimson arrow cut through the sky, dragging a gorgeous purplish-red tail, hitting the Skeleton Mage Leader! With the arrow's landing point as the center, a blazing light like the sun burst open.

The Skeleton Mage Leader was already low on health, and after taking this Sunset Arrow, it directly entered a near-death state. It knelt on one knee, blankly "looking" at the several broken ribs on its chest, and the large hole that appeared in its chest cavity.

Crack! The Skeleton Mage Leader turned into fragments of bone of varying lengths, scattered all over the ground.

"Success!" The three were overjoyed. Being able to kill a leader-level Skeleton Mage with a three-person elite team was definitely something to be proud of.

However, the next second, a sudden change occurred!

A figure quietly appeared beside the panting Mad Dog, resolutely wielding a knife, slitting his throat!
