Shameless Scoundrel Taking Advantage of a Crisis

"Ah..."

A shrill scream burst from the guard's mouth. Gravely wounded, he wailed in agony, his face twisted with pain.

"What happened?"

The smiles on Zhang Mingqiu and the others' faces vanished, replaced by solemn expressions at the sudden turn of events.

Amid the battlefield strewn with white bones, a Gray Skeleton appeared, radiating powerful Spiritual Energy.

"Where did that Gray Skeleton come from?" one guard asked gravely.

"It's at the Second-Order Mid Stage. It's far stronger than those white skeletons earlier." After sensing the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from the Gray Skeleton, another guard spoke in a heavy tone.

"It's only a Gray Skeleton at the Second-Order Mid Stage. We just need to deal with it. There's no need to panic..." Zhang Mingqiu said casually.

However, the instant his voice fell, the scene before him made his relaxed expression vanish without a trace.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The gleaming white bones scattered across the ground began to tremble. Then they rapidly floated into the air, reassembling into complete skeletons one after another.

Countless gray flames flew out from deep within the distant buildings and swiftly sank into the skeletons' pitch-black eye sockets.

The gray flames flickered in their eye sockets, and in the blink of an eye, the white skeletons transformed into Gray Skeletons.

Compared with earlier, there were far fewer of these resurrected Gray Skeletons than white skeletons—only several hundred.

However, every one of these Gray Skeletons possessed at least Second-Order Early Stage Cultivation, making them more than twice as powerful as those white skeletons.

"Miss, those skeletons have revived!" Zhao Xiaoya cried out.

"These skeletons can actually undergo such a transformation..." Wu Qingfang frowned as she watched the scene unfold.

"Those resurrected skeletons are about to attack us. Everyone, be careful." Chen Zhiyuan warned the subordinates around him.
