After the third skeleton appeared, the arrow towers reacted, firing iron arrows into the distance.

With a cold glint, chilling arrows flew towards the distance.

Ye Qian glanced at the map and saw a red dot rapidly approaching.

"It's over."

The skeletons' Fireball Technique wasn't without a cooldown; each use required a five-minute wait, and the few she had summoned earlier had already used theirs.

"Don't overthink it, keep going!"

Chen Ning knew it was too late to run. The only thing they could rely on were the skeletons.

The sixth skeleton appeared. The enemy was still 300 meters away, clearly showing the three arrow towers had provided some delay. Moreover, as the enemy got closer, they were starting to struggle to deal with the situation.

The seventh skeleton was synthesized by Ye Qian using her Life energy, reaching Level 8 in strength.

Chen Ning narrowed his eyes, thought for two seconds, and then said, "Ye Qian, you'll be in charge of recruiting the skeletons from now on."

"Huh?"

"I think you're a lucky one."

Without further ado, Chen Ning finished speaking, looked at the skeletons beside him, and had them spread out.

Yes, he was preparing to command the battle.

Ahead lay a series of wooden walls. Once the enemy approached, these skeletons would launch a coordinated attack.

Ye Qian quickly realized that her talent wasn't just effective for drops; it also seemed to work for recruitment.

Of course, she had suspected it before and had consciously tried it twice, but the levels of the recruited units weren't very high.

However, thinking about it now, perhaps she had just tried too few times before, and thus couldn't properly showcase the difference.

As expected, whether it was luck or not, the eighth one was a Level 5 skeleton. Its combat power was already much stronger than the previous ones, which were generally Level 1 to 3.

"You really are a lucky one."

Lan Xinyu exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, hurry up, or we'll all be goners," Ye Qian said, clearly nervous.

This was her main body.

Thinking about it, coming here with her main body was itself a risky move. But that didn't mean Reality was safe; after all, there was still the elusive Insect Blood Society. So, which side was truly safer ultimately depended on luck.

The ninth one, Level 6.

Including the previous three, there were now 12 skeletons, though only 3 could cast fireballs.

Chen Ning had the three skeletons that couldn't cast fireballs rush forward to attract the enemy's attention.

The tenth one, Level 3.

"This is bad."

As the enemy approached within 100 meters, Lan Xinyu next to them managed to push out a new bone.

The eleventh one, Level 7.

Ding!

[Unit Mutation, this skeleton has gained Elite effect!]

A notification chimed.

This skeleton leaped out of the deep pit.

"Elite?"

Before Ye Qian could express her surprise, Chen Ning had already made his move.

"Fire!"

As the armored man cleaved through two arrows with his knife and attacked the charging skeletons, 10 fireballs were simultaneously launched from three directions at incredible speed.

The man's expression changed instantly, and he hastily retracted his blade to dodge.

But alas... there were too many fireballs.

Boom boom boom—

After a series of explosions, dust flew up from the ground, and firelight instantly expanded.

Ye Qian also had this elite skeleton launch a fireball.

Boom—

The power of the final blast was indeed the most astonishing.

After this wave of explosions, the man's movements stopped.

Already covered in wounds, by the time the firelight dissipated, his body was tattered and torn, riddled with injuries. Many areas were scorched black by the high temperature.

The arrow towers fired a few more arrows, hitting his body.

Everyone watched this scene nervously.

Ye Qian knew this guy wouldn't die that easily, so she sent two of the weakest skeletons to probe him.

As expected, after rushing out and attacking a couple of times, the opponent made another move.

He swung his sword fiercely, severing the bone of a skeleton wolf with a single slash.

"Fall back!"

Chen Ning shouted.

The skeletons charged forward one after another, especially the elite one.

Although Ye Qian herself had mastered Alice's Blade Intuition and even held a novice short sword in her hand, she didn't think she could withstand even one blow from the opponent.

Accompanied by a roar, the warrior's movements became wild again. He cut down several skeletons in rapid succession before charging directly at Ye Qian.

"Oh my god, why is he targeting me specifically?"

Ye Qian turned and ran on the spot.

The enemy's speed was incredibly exaggerated; in the blink of an eye, he was right behind her.

As the sword descended, Ye Qian instinctively dodged to the side, unexpectedly managing to evade the attack.

With a whoosh, a skeleton monster leaped from the side, attacking the opponent and once again creating distance between Ye Qian and him.

Ye Qian turned and swung her sword.

Clang—

An astonishing pain shot through her hand, and a tremendous force swept over her, sending Ye Qian flying.

She slammed hard into a tree and slid down.

Pfft!

Another arrow flew, piercing the man's chest.

His movements froze, and he lowered his head in a daze.

Several skeletons rushed forward and began attacking him.

The man roared, smashing two more with a punch, and slowly approached Ye Qian.

"..."

Ye Qian was speechless.

To her surprise, when the guy reached her, he stopped and burst into laughter: "You're not a lackey of the Holy See, an undead creature, hahaha..."

"Is this guy crazy?"

Watching more arrows hit the man, Ye Qian had this thought.

Everything was too strange.

The most outrageous thing was that, at that moment, the red dot representing him on the map turned back to yellow-green.

Ye Ning, with two skeletons, approached the man nervously and asked, "Who are you?"

Since the target had changed to neutral-friendly, the Arrow Towers automatically ceased their attack without further orders.

"Hahahaha..." The man took half a step back and suddenly burst into wild laughter: "I'm just a dog abandoned by the Holy See. It's laughable how loyal I was to them in the past. What supreme god, ruling over Light... Pathetic. The Saintess beneath the radiance, hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world, her heart is so ugly. And now, her beauty is no longer the world's finest..."

He coughed up a mouthful of blood at this point, then slowly collapsed in front of Ye Qian.

"Is he dead?"

"No, he seems to still be breathing," Lan Xinyu muttered softly.

"Can you analyze anything? The Holy See and all that, it sounds so fantastical. Did this guy mistake us for people from the Holy See? I don't understand."

Ye Qian swallowed. Since he wasn't dead, she felt she could forcefully deflect her mysterious thread at close range and probe his memories.

Chapter 30: He's Dead

No sooner said than done. Of course, this process couldn't be seen.

She simply moved a little closer to him, consumed 1 point of Life energy, and subtly drew her mysterious thread from the Void, passing it through him.

Of course, Ye Qian couldn't read his memories; she could only know what he was thinking. Through some fleeting images and words in her mind, she could glean some information.

And at this moment, Ye Qian saw a very bizarre scene.

"Undead... and family?"

While Ye Qian was surprised, Chen Ning next to her also asked seriously, "Ye Qian, I'm a bit puzzled. What exactly happened when you went out earlier? This guy went crazy attacking us; there must be a reason, right?"

"I'm not sure either," Ye Qian frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she still whispered in her own language, "However, when I encountered him before, this guy was already seriously injured. Judging by his words, it seems he was being hunted by the Holy See. But... he might have mistaken me for one of the pursuers, so he attacked as soon as he saw me. And when he attacked, he was muttering about undead or something."

"Undead?"

Ye Qian immediately made a shushing gesture, stood up, lowered her voice, and said in a tone only they could hear, "His family was turned into undead by the Holy See using living people. After he and his comrades found out, they immediately attracted the pursuit of the Inquisition Knights and were forced to cover their escape all the way. By the time they reached here, only he was left."

Lan Xinyu's eyes widened: "Something like that happened?"

"Yes, of course, this is just my guess. I analyzed it from our previous conversation, and it might not be accurate," Ye Qian said with an equally doubtful expression.

"To turn living people into undead... this world is truly a mess," Chen Ning sneered.

Ye Qian let out a breath, feigned exhaustion, and crouched down. She continued to scan the screen for a few more seconds before preparing to retract the mysterious thread. Just then, the other party's hand suddenly moved, grabbing her ankle.

"Ah!" She fell onto the ground.

Chen Ning and Lan Xinyu instinctively raised the weapons in their hands.

"Cough, cough." The figure lying on the ground slowly lifted its blood-covered head. "You... aren't from the Holy See. I... shouldn't have attacked you. Sorry."

"Let go of her hand," Chen Ning shouted.

"Cough, cough, don't be scared, I mean no harm. This is... for you... as an apology."

The guy didn't let go. Instead, he released a strange energy from his arm.

[Detected special type of power infusion.]

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis complete. Ability type: Light (Elemental) Resonance.]

[Analyzed ability contains Pollution, automatically decomposing and converting.]

[Decomposition complete. Gained 1000 Life energy.]

[Residual energy converted to Light Resistance.]

Beep!

[Your current Life energy exceeds the minimum value. Chat group activated.]

The energy release finished, and the guy's hand finally loosened its grip.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Qian's ears also registered a kill notification.

Ding!

[Killed LV20 human male.]
