Skeleton General (Seeking collection and recommendation)

All five Skeleton Cavalrymen were slain. Of the five skeleton horses, two died, one was smashed into a half-crippled state, and the remaining two were blocked outside the shield wall.

These two skeleton horses had belonged to the two cavalrymen who were blasted off their mounts earlier. Now, having lost their masters' control, they instinctively tried to charge forward, but were held firmly at bay by the shield wall.

Zhao Fu ignored the two horses outside the wall for the moment and walked over to the half-crippled one. He attempted to use Taming to see if it could be domesticated. If it worked, he could use the skeleton horse as a warhorse and finally complete his Class Transfer into a cavalryman.

However, when Zhao Fu activated Taming, he discovered that it had no effect on the undead. The fact that the undead could not be tamed left Zhao Fu deeply disappointed, and in the end, he had no choice but to kill it.

Continue forward!

They killed several more waves afterward. By now, they had collected all the skeleton unit types, but these posed little threat to Zhao Fu. All the skeletons were slain, dropping countless items—mostly equipment, a few Souls of Martial Refinement, and a very small number of Soldier Souls.

At this point, the passageway gradually began to widen, and a change finally appeared. Zhao Fu breathed a sigh of relief; he had truly begun to worry that there was no end and that they would just keep walking like this forever.

Suddenly!

A soul fire ignited in the darkness ahead, and a powerful aura rushed toward them. The group hurriedly raised their torches to look, discovering a Skeleton General clad in silver armor and wielding a greatsword, now reawakened.

The group's expressions turned grave!

The Skeleton General stood up slowly, its empty eye sockets fixed on Zhao Fu and his party, radiating a sinister killing intent that chilled the entire passageway.

Zhao Fu could not help but shout, "Everyone, be careful!"

After rising to its feet, the Skeleton General strode toward Zhao Fu's group. Seeing this, Zhao Fu immediately ordered the archers to fire.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Arrows whistled through the air as they flew toward the skeleton. Facing the incoming projectiles, the Skeleton General showed no fear. It walked forward while holding its sword, and just as the arrows were less than a meter away, it raised its blade. A wisp of gray energy emerged from the steel, and it swung the weapon casually.

"Bang!"

The arrows were swatted away by an invisible force; not a single one of the ten projectiles could get close.

Zhao Fu drew his Cloud-Flow Bow and used Stone-Shattering Arrow. The arrow, wreathed in wisps of mysterious yellow energy, tore through the air. The Skeleton General merely tilted its head slightly, letting the arrow fly past and embed itself into the ground, where it vibrated with a series of hums.

The Skeleton General easily dodged Zhao Fu's arrow. Then, its body flickered, and it appeared directly in front of the shield wall, raising its sword to strike.

"Clang!"

The blade slammed into a great shield with a piercing screech, sending a shower of sparks flying. The five Goblin Champions were knocked back four or five meters, and a one-inch-deep sword mark was left on the shield.

Seeing the Skeleton General's immense power, Bai Qi and Zhao Fu wore grave expressions. Li Wen, who had never seen such a powerful skeleton, turned pale. Zhao Fu had no choice but to shout again.

"Fire!"

Another volley of arrows flew out. The Skeleton General flickered, dodging all of them as it reappeared on the other side.

Zhao Fu immediately commanded, "Wind Blade!"

Liu Mei did not dare to be careless. With a serious expression, she unleashed a Wind Blade, a crescent-shaped cyan gust of wind that shot toward the Skeleton General.

The Skeleton General sidestepped, letting the Wind Blade fly past without suffering a single scratch.

Zhao Fu ordered again, "Fireball!"

Li Wen bit the tip of his tongue to force himself to stay completely calm. This was the first time Zhao Fu had brought him into battle, and he had even been gifted a precious Elemental Orb and a Soul of Martial Refinement. Zhao Fu valued him so highly; how could Li Wen let him down?

Ever since joining Great Qin Village, Li Wen had told himself he was no longer just a boy from an ordinary mountain village. His future was to follow Zhao Fu and become a general who would expand the territory of Great Qin.

At first, seeing such a terrifying Skeleton General had turned his face pale, but now, Li Wen was completely composed. He obeyed the order and immediately launched a fireball.

The fireball flew straight at the Skeleton General, making it difficult to dodge. Yet, facing such an attack, the Skeleton General did not take it seriously and swung its sword.

"Bang!"

The fireball was slashed apart, dissipating into scattered sparks.

But abruptly, two blood-red fireballs flew in from the left and right, striking the Skeleton General. Zhao Fu had timed it perfectly, ordering old Rogge to act.

"Bang!"

A massive explosion rang out. The two blood-red fireballs detonated simultaneously, unleashing immense destructive power. However, it did not blast the Skeleton General away; it only forced it back a few steps, leaving it looking somewhat disheveled.

"Fire!"

At Zhao Fu's command, the archers raised their bows and fired. Facing the incoming arrows, the Skeleton General swatted them away with a few swings of its sword.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Fu found an opening. An arrow struck the Skeleton General's abdomen, piercing through the armor and hitting the waist bone, forcing the skeleton to retreat a step.

The Skeleton General turned its sinister eye sockets toward Zhao Fu, emitting a cold killing intent, and its body transformed into a black shadow as it lunged toward him.

"Clang!"

Beside Zhao Fu, a figure rushed forward, drawing a sword to block the Skeleton General. The two blades collided, erupting in a shower of sparks.

This figure was none other than Bai Qi, who had been on guard the entire time.

The Skeleton General let out a low growl, pressing its sword down against Bai Qi. Bai Qi's expression turned cold; his current strength was still a significant step below the Skeleton General's, but he would not admit defeat. Gritting his teeth, he held his ground against the skeleton.

"Retreat!"

Zhao Fu's command rang out from behind. Bai Qi retreated without the slightest hesitation; he obeyed Zhao Fu's orders absolutely. The moment Bai Qi pulled back, ten Goblin Champions raised their shields and surrounded the Skeleton General.

The Skeleton General paused for a brief moment, and just as it was about to swing its sword to break the encirclement—

At this moment, four fireballs and one Wind Blade descended into the fray as Zhao Fu, Li Wen, old Rogge, and Liu Mei struck simultaneously.

"Bang!"

The four magical skills exploded in unison. The blood-red fireballs from old Rogge and Zhao Fu were particularly powerful, their sudden detonation forcing the Goblin Champions, who were surrounding the Skeleton General with shields raised, to stumble back a step.

The Skeleton General at the center suffered significant damage, kneeling on one knee in a wretched state. It drove its sword into the ground, preparing to stand back up.

The Goblin Champions suddenly parted their formation, and a volley of arrows whistled toward the Skeleton General.

"Roar!"

Having been attacked repeatedly, the Skeleton General let out a thunderous roar and swung its sword with all its might. The blade hummed, sending eight gray, arc-shaped sword auras slashing outward in every direction.

"Boom!"

With a deafening crash, the eight sword auras tore through the air, forming a storm of blades. Not only did they deflect the incoming arrows, but they also sent the Goblin Champions from the other three sides flying, leaving deep, three-inch-long gashes in the heavy shields they held.

The Skeleton General seemed momentarily drained after unleashing its ultimate move, but at that very instant—

"Thwip!"

An arrow pierced straight into the Skeleton General's skull, punching clean through it. The blue soul fire within the skull flickered violently a few times before finally extinguishing. The Skeleton General's body collapsed into a pile of bones, and Zhao Fu lowered his bow with cold eyes.
