Ye Mei Toyed With by Miko - Bonus Chapter

Scarlet possesses a sword soul of Peak-rank God and swordsmanship capable of annihilating souls and consciousness, so killing the Golden Skeleton is not difficult for him. Dokter's soul is powerful, and his mental attack is also sufficient to kill the Golden Skeleton. However, the two of them would definitely not be able to withstand such a massive army of skeletons, given their sheer number.

As for Elsa, she was completely at a disadvantage, only able to kill Bronze Skeleton, and had to avoid Silver Skeleton.

As for Miko, under the current circumstances, his existence is almost completely ignored; even a Bronze Skeleton could kill him instantly.

Fortunately, they received news from the Sea Emperor that the journey that would take them six days would only take the Silver Skeleton two. Furthermore, Gu Ding and his Gu Ding had already set off for a day; they only needed to wait one more day for Guding and Liliath's reinforcements. So, the group simply hid behind a large rock and waited patiently.

Although the Silver Skeleton and Golden Skeleton were conscious and detected Elsa and the others' presence, their attention was not on them, but rather drawn to the energy emanating from the secret realm.

The next day, Liliath and Gu Ding finally arrived, and during their stay, Liliath collected four more Silver Skeleton.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of thirty-six Silver Skeleton, the skeletons initially paid little attention, even after noticing the two Silver Skeleton sitting atop one of them. These newly formed consciousnesses, born from a fighting spirit, understood nothing but slaughter; they were completely unaware that their companions had been enslaved.

When Elsa and the others saw Gu Ding companion arrive, they leaped onto the top of the tallest Silver Skeleton, and the group gathered together once more.

"What's going on here?" Gu Ding and Elsa looked around the secret realm with some surprise.

"The energy emanating from the secret realm caused these skeletons to gather," the Sea Emperor explained. "Just clean them up."

"I'll do it," Liliath volunteered. It was her first time encountering Golden Skeleton, but she knew that the strength of these Golden Skeleton was comparable to that of Half-Step True God. If she could recruit such powerful beings as her henchmen, it would be a very exciting thing.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liliath commanded thirty-six skeletons to charge towards the horde of skeletons. The crowded Bronze Skeleton were routed by the charge of a group of Silver Skeleton, and hundreds of them were wiped out in just two or three seconds.

Liliath stood atop the Silver Skeleton, her eyes turning gold. Her long, fiery red hair moved without wind, and her blue dress billowed involuntarily.

When a golden skull swung its hand at those Golden Skeleton pupils, a golden ripple suddenly spread outwards, silencing the previously turbulent horde of skulls.

In just a few seconds, all the thousands of skeletons stood still.

Gu Ding and the others were shocked to see this. They hadn't expected Liliath's Pupil Technique to be so terrifying, instantly wiping out the entire skeleton horde.

A moment later, Liliath's golden eyes returned to their original color, and her expression showed slight fatigue. Gu Ding was standing beside her, immediately helped her up.

"I'm fine, just a little drained of my soul power, and there are a bit too many skeletons," Liliath said with a smile, shaking her head as she noticed everyone looking at her with concern.

"Then let's rest for a bit before going in." Gu Ding handed over a handful of soul repair potions. These were all two-star soul replenishment potions he had refined himself, made in large quantities. They were all of the Ultimate Quality, but their effects were no less than those of three-star Soul Potion.

Liliath took the medicine and injected three vials into her body in succession.

"There's bad news. Ye Mei of the Dark Race is heading this way. He's actually started flying, which means his cultivation might have been sealed by the Night God before he came in, so no one noticed. At his current speed, he should arrive in about a day," the Sea Emperor suddenly said.

Hearing this, Gu Ding frowned. This guy named Ye Mei was the one the Sea Emperor had mentioned before— Direct Lineage descendant of the Night God, the king of the Dark Night God. Gu Ding and the others had also seen his strength in the video; he was a powerful being capable of killing Golden Skeleton with a single blow.

"How did he know there was a secret realm here?" Liliath found it rather strange.

"Although the detection methods are limited, if he has an energy sensing device, he is not subject to the rules of this world. The energy sensing device can only indicate direction, not location," Miko offered her conjecture.

"That's right. He has a Mechanical Race energy sensor, a purely mechanical device that physically shields against magnetic field interference. I can't change the direction of that sensor." Only Robert can handle this kind of device; even Sea Emperor is helpless against it.

"Ye Mei's strength is beyond our capabilities. In this situation, there are only three solutions," Miko said again. "The first is for us to immediately enter the secret realm, loot everything we can, and escape before that guy arrives. The second is to find someone to act as bait to lure him away, giving us enough time to clear the secret realm. The third is to create more energy gathering points to interfere with his energy sensing devices."

"Let's choose the first option; it's the safest," Liliath was the first to speak.

"In one day, there's only so much to be done; it's basically like handing this secret realm over to someone else." The Sea Emperor was somewhat unwilling.

"Let's choose the second option. I'll lure him away," Gu Ding suggested.

"No, this guy is a level above you. If you face him head-on, your chances of winning are less than 20%. If he couldn't fly, Liliath could control the Silver Skeleton to carry you away, and he definitely wouldn't be able to catch you. But this guy can fly, so you can't escape." The Sea Emperor still voiced his disapproval. "The others are even worse. Whoever goes as bait will be killed by him."

"I can build Gathering Yuan Array to interfere with his energy sensing device, because such devices actually have flaws. They generally point to where the energy fluctuations are closest. Besides, the energy emanating from this secret realm isn't strong to begin with, so the device is easily interfered with as soon as another energy point appears," Miko suggested. "We just need to continuously create some chaotic energy points to guide him in other directions."

"This method is not bad, but we can't leave any traces, otherwise he'll know he's been tricked and will definitely come after us." The Sea Emperor finally approved a plan.

"I'll go with you," Gu Ding, still somewhat worried.

"Gu Ding, you stay here. I Miko," Scarlet suddenly said. "We don't know what's in the secret realm yet, and you're the strongest among us, so it's safest for you to go with the rest of us. As long as we don't encounter Ye Mei, I can handle any other trouble with Miko and Miko. Even if we encounter Golden Skeleton, I can easily kill it."

"Alright, it's settled then." Gu Ding thought for a moment. If he really encountered the Golden Skeleton, it would be quite difficult to deal with. On the other hand, Scarlet possessed the sword soul of Peak-rank God and soul-type sword techniques. Bringing Miko make them even stronger.

After deciding on their strategy, Liliath temporarily transferred control of a Golden Skeleton to Scarlet before they stepped into the secret realm.

The Golden Skeleton, in order to leave no trace, was almost always in flight, never touching the ground. Its speed was also extremely fast; in less than an hour, it had traveled over a million kilometers to reach the point calculated by the Sea Emperor.

Sea Emperor had calculated it. This location was Ye Mei's only route. Moreover, this direction was consistent with the secret realm. It was a perfectly straight line, which would avoid arousing Ye Mei's suspicion due to a sudden shift in the energy detector's pointer.

Upon arrival, Scarlet and Miko jumped down.

Miko quickly set up the array base, then made hand seals, and a two-star Spirit Gathering Array was quickly formed in less than ten minutes. Then Miko spent about ten minutes setting up a maze array outside.

After doing all this, Scarlet cleaned up all the footprints and other traces before leading Miko back up to the top of the Golden Skeleton.

Immediately afterwards, the Golden Skeleton carried the two of them to the second landing point, where the two quickly set up the second Spirit Gathering Array.

Then the third, the fourth... more than three hours passed. Miko had already set up ten Spirit Gathering Array, completely guiding the route to a direction entirely different from where the secret realm was located.

At this moment, Ye Mei finally arrived near the location of the first Spirit Gathering Array.

"We've finally arrived!" Seeing the response from the probe pointer, Ye Mei knew that the energy sensor was nearby.

He searched around and finally found a small maze. He smirked and said, "Tch, a little trick. How could this kind of maze possibly stump me? I'd like to see what treasures are hidden inside."

With a single palm strike, the maze was destroyed, revealing the Spirit Gathering Array within.

Upon seeing the Spirit Gathering Array, Ye Mei frowned. "What's going on? Why is it a Spirit Gathering Array?"

At this moment, Ye Mei didn't consider who had set a trap for him. He assumed that someone was injured and needed a lot of energy to heal, which was why they had created this thing. Moreover, this Spirit Gathering Array wasn't of a high level, so the person using Spirit Gathering Array was probably not very strong, and they even put up a maze outside to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

With a stomp, several cracks appeared in the ground, destroying the foundation of the Spirit Gathering Array. Ye Mei rose into the air again, looking at the probe pointer in her hand.

The detector pointer wobbled back and forth, then pointed in a different direction.

Ye Mei's face lit up with joy. "Good luck, we've found a second energy point so quickly."

He hurriedly rushed towards the second energy point, unaware that from the second energy point onwards, he had already deviated from the direction of the secret realm where Gu Ding and the others were located.

By the time he arrived at the second Spirit Gathering Array, two hours had passed. Miko then created seven more Spirit Gathering Array, completely guiding Ye Mei towards an uninhabited place two million kilometers away from the secret realm.

Upon discovering the second Spirit Gathering Array, Ye Mei cursed, "Damn it, who is it? Having nothing better to do than create two Spirit Gathering Array in a row!"

After destroying the second Spirit Gathering Array, the detector's needle vibrated again, and Ye Mei, cursing under her breath, flew towards the third Spirit Gathering Array...
