143: I seem to have found my princess! (Combined chapter, please subscribe to the monthly ticket!)

"Your Highness, what are we doing here?"

"What?"

The Third Prince, Ancient Capital Si Dan, glanced at the Undead servant beside him and asked.

"I thought you wanted to go to the battlefield," the Undead servant scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"What, can you fight ten people at once or something? I'm not stupid." Ancient Capital Si Dan leaned back in a triumphant tactical pose, then continued to wander around the gathering place.

"A human has appeared who can enslave our Undead. I'm going to kill him here. Who's coming with me!"

Just as Ancient Capital Si Dan was talking to the servant beside him, an Undead Race Warrior suddenly raised his arm and shouted to the crowd.

"I'm going!"

Someone immediately responded. After all, enslaving one's own kind is something almost no race can tolerate.

"I'm going too!"

Before the Undead servant could cover his young master's mouth, Ancient Capital Si Dan shouted out!

Are you kidding me? I, Ancient Capital Si Dan, am afraid of death, but I'm not that kind of coward!

Since someone dares to enslave my people!

"You can protect me, right!"

After agreeing, Ancient Capital Si Dan turned his head coldly to look at the guards behind him.

These guards, like Star Stone Illusion, were all reserve members of the Royal Guard.

However, compared to Star Stone Illusion, who was a squad leader among the reserve members, they were just ordinary team members.

But those who could be selected as reserve members of the Royal Guard were basically all talented Students.

Each of them was very strong.

So, after Ancient Capital Si Dan asked, all thirteen reserve members of the Royal Guard answered decisively.

"Swear to protect until death!"

The firm voice startled the Undead Race Warrior who had just shouted.

This group of people is very strong!

That was his first thought!

And his second thought was to invite them to join him.

It's always good to have a strong teammate on the battlefield.

What's more, these were a dozen strong teammates.

But unfortunately, Ancient Capital Si Dan didn't even look at him and set off with his people in a huff.

Not going to the battlefield just now was unnecessary.

Now, going to the battlefield is to get rid of this guy who can enslave their Undead kind!

Don't underestimate me, I am the Crown Prince of the Undead Royal Family!

Ancient Capital Si Dan's eyes were cold, completely ignoring the servant's bitter pleas!

"I also possess powerful combat strength!"

Ancient Capital Si Dan roared, and the morale of the thirteen people behind him also rose.

...

...

"Someone's coming, prepare for battle!"

Nezha, who was resting, instantly jumped up, looking excitedly at the four Undead approaching.

Their current location was in the mountains.

It was good for hiding, and if they continued forward, they would soon reach the Golden Horn Undead Clan gathering place.

It could be said that this was the resting place that Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan had carefully selected.

"We'll take out the two in the back, and the one holding the shield in front is for Mu Qianshan."

"Good!"

After the enemies appeared, Shi Ji instantly made a decision.

There were four in total, two in front and two in back.

In this formation, the two in the back were basically squishy, so they could be handled by Nezha and her Undead Enslavement.

The Undead Archer of the Art Clan would act as control.

The Undead Race Warrior of the Gold Clan would charge in directly.

The Bone race's Salami would sneak in and work with Nezha to take out the two squishy targets in the back.

After all, the Bone race's Salami was actually an assassin.

The battle that day was purely due to their mid-battle entry, which prevented the Bone race's Salami from demonstrating his strongest combat power.

After Shi Ji made the tactical decision, Salami of the Bone race instantly disappeared from Jiang Yuan's side.

The Undead's dark Energy was more suitable for [Stealth] than human Energy.

As Salami of the Bone race disappeared, Nezha, Jin Shanshan of the Gold Clan, and Re-Zero of the Art Clan were ready.

As Shi Ji's hand dropped, the Undead Amplifier instantly increased Nezha's attack and speed.

Nezha, riding his Wind Fire Wheels, shot out like an arrow from a bow.

Also launched were arrows imbued with ice attributes.

Two arrows followed closely behind Nezha, and as Nezha entered the middle of the four, the arrows also struck the two Undead in front.

The two Undead in front were startled the moment they saw Nezha appear.

Logically, this was a Mixed Zone relatively close to the Undead gathering place, so how could there be humans here!

Humans coming to this place weren't looking for death!

However, before their Skill Cards could flash, the two were directly frozen by the arrows carrying ice Energy.

At the same time, Nezha also launched an attack.

Three Heads Six Arms instantly activated, and he shot out his Fire Tipped Spear with all his might!

The moment the Fire Tipped Spear was shot out, two bone spikes also attacked the Undead on the left.

A blue Skill Card appeared in the left Undead's hand, but before he could use it, he was already dead.

Although the bone spikes failed to break through the opponent's defensive equipment, the Fire Tipped Spear that followed immediately broke through.

It not only broke through the Undead's defensive equipment but also directly killed that Undead.

As the Undead died, Nezha landed, and his Fire Tipped Spear continuously attacked the other Undead.

The two Undead in front of the four-person team also recovered from being frozen, and both felt a chill in their hearts.

Oh no!

They ran into the human team that could enslave their Undead!

They realized it the moment they saw the Bone race's assassination attempt.

What's more, there was now a guy from the Gold Clan charging out.

However, the two of them had no intention of surrendering. A blue Skill Card instantly flashed, and one of them had a large black shield appear in his hand, while the other had a bone knife.

Just as Shi Ji had thought, except for the Undead who was instantly killed and didn't reveal his profession, the two in front were a shield guard and an Undead Race Warrior.

As for the guy in the back who was almost overturned by Nezha, he was an Undead Mage.

At this moment, the blue quality defensive equipment on the Undead Mage had been shattered by Nezha.

But while Nezha was busy breaking his equipment, he successfully released a bone prison to encapsulate himself.

Nezha and Salami were currently trying to break through this bone prison.

On the other side, Mu Qianshan and Jin Shanshan of the Gold Clan also rushed out.

Mu Qianshan faced the Undead shield guard.

His Zifu Sword's [Wonderful Method] skill, if triggered, was very effective against this type of shield guard.

However, because Mu Qianshan's own strength was insufficient, he needed the assistance of the Undead Archer, Re-Zero of the Art Clan.

With water-elemental Energy applied, the [Armor-Piercing Arrow] hit the shield, and three consecutive armor-piercing effects made the Undead shield guard somewhat unable to hold on.

After enduring three armor-piercing attacks, the Undead shield guard's face also darkened.

Those guys from the Art Clan are disgusting!

The three consecutive effects of the water-elemental Energy-infused armor-piercing arrows, although diminishing with each layer, almost broke through his defense.

Compared to three armor-piercing arrows being shot at once, triple armor-piercing arrows were clearly more effective.

After all, it's basically unlikely that three armor-piercing arrows would hit the same spot.

But triple armor-piercing arrows are different; they hit the exact same spot.

Looking at the small hole in his shield that was almost pierced through, the Undead shield guard felt a wave of irritation.

"Actually, I'd rather have a dragon."

While the battle raged in front, Shi Ji chatted with Jiang Yuan, looking relaxed.

Jiang Yuan said that the Black Flame Bone Horse under her was not as cool as the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast?

Shi Ji glanced at the proud Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast, then said to Jiang Yuan.

"Hmph, when I reach a higher level, I'll definitely get you a Qingluan as a mount!

As for me, I think Supreme Lord Lao's Green Ox is pretty good; it can tank, fight, and run."

"Oh?"

Shi Ji's eyes curved as she looked at Jiang Yuan.

She didn't expect him to still remember her mount was a Qingluan?

As expected of Mu Qianshan.

Shi Ji was in a good mood, but what she didn't know was that Jiang Yuan thought of Qingluan because the enhancement of the Wind Fire Wheels required a Qingluan and a Fire Phoenix.

But no big deal, they'd be made together then.

A Qingluan couldn't be a unique item, could it?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan suddenly had a jolt in his heart.

If it really was a unique item, how would they share it?

Speaking of which, what exactly was the situation with the Wind Fire Wheels' enhancement?

Did it require a Qingluan, or was having a Qingluan enough?

However, speaking of which, it seemed that Qingluan as a mount wasn't exclusive to Shi Ji, right?

For example, Yunxiao, one of the Three Xiao Goddesses, Princess Long Ji, the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, and even Nuwa Niangniang all had Qingluan as their mounts.

If that's the case, it shouldn't be a unique item, right?

After all, he still wanted to make a Three Xiao Goddesses card.

Hmm, three cards.

Three Three Xiao Goddesses cards, and they could also form a bond.

It would be even better with Zhao Gongming.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but relax.

Compared to the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast, the Azure Luan should be a species, like the Black Tortoise.

After relaxing, Jiang Yuan chatted with Shi Ji while watching Nezha and the others fight.

After breaking the bone prison, Nezha quickly eliminated the Undead Mage.

On the other side, the Undead Race Warrior from the Gold Clan, bolstered by the sacrifice and Shi Ji's [Wonderful Method] skill, also quickly defeated their opponent.

Now, only Mu Qianshan's side remained.

Mu Qianshan had not been able to trigger the [Wonderful Method] skill, so he hadn't been able to directly kill the Undead Shield Guard.

However, under Re-Zero's arrow attacks, the Undead Shield Guard was also about to collapse.

Until Nezha and Salami launched a surprise attack from behind.

Two bone spikes and a Fire Tipped Spear struck simultaneously, but the bone spikes were blocked, while the Fire Tipped Spear directly pierced into the Undead's body.

Thus, the Undead's four-person squad was completely annihilated.

And Shi Ji, naturally, did not hesitate to sacrifice all four members of the squad.

The Shield Guard, Jin Shanshan from the Gold Clan, the Undead Amplifier, and the Undead Archer Re-Zero, each received one.

Yes, rain and dew are equally distributed.

After eliminating this squad, everyone looted the bodies and cleaned up the corpses before returning to their previous spot to recover.

"Still didn't find anything good."

Mu Qianshan was a bit annoyed, but he just shook his head and began to recover his Star Power.

Jiang Yuan looked at the six white-quality Skill Cards in his hand with some helplessness.

"It seems I can only sell them after I go out."

"How much money can they sell for?" Nezha asked curiously.

"They won't sell for much, but these are spoils of war, so it's good that they can be exchanged for academic credits."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan finally decided to exchange them for academic credits.

There were quite a few good things in the academic credit store.

Coupled with the discount given by Liu Shengshan, the top scholar of Zhenhai City, the academic credit store was quite a good deal.

After returning this time, the Qiankun Circle would almost be within reach.

Although Nezha lacked a long-range killing weapon, once the Qiankun Circle was acquired, throwing the Qiankun Circle and the Fire Tipped Spear would barely be usable.

As for the Qiankun Bow and the Zhentian Arrow, he would have to wait a bit longer.

After all, there was still the Huntian Ribbon, and then the Golden Brick, the Demon Slaying Sword, the Yin Yang Twin Swords, and so on.

Each additional weapon could enhance Nezha's combat power.

But then again, it seems the Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow could be crafted after the Huntian Ribbon.

Leaving aside other things, their long-range killing power should be greater than Nezha's Fire Tipped Spear throw, right?

And there's also the card for continuous Star Power recovery; that also needs to be sped up.

Before, without Shi Ji, it was fine with just Nezha.

Now, the Star Power that Shi Ji could consume was a bottomless pit.

The Jade Purification Bottle could no longer keep up with Shi Ji's consumption.

...

...

"Didn't see him?"

In the Mixed Zone, Star Stone Illusion, riding an Undead Griffin, quickly searched the entire Mixed Zone.

Although it was just a rough search, he was quite familiar with his Third Prince.

He hadn't seen his Third Prince at all!

Could it be...

Star Stone Illusion's heart sank, but he quickly comforted himself.

"It's fine, the Third Prince is not a foolish person. Maybe he didn't even go to the battlefield."

"He might have just entered the Xingji Cave to avoid the protection of the Royal Guard, so he's most likely still at the gathering place."

The more Star Stone Illusion thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. After all, even if the Third Prince entered the Xingji Cave, he was still followed by thirteen Royal Guard reserve members.

Even if they couldn't stop the Third Prince from going to the battlefield, they should be able to protect him well.

Thinking of this, Star Stone Illusion felt that his guess was correct, so he immediately turned around and headed back to the Undead's gathering place.

His guess was correct; the Third Prince, Ancient Capital Si Dan, was indeed at the Undead's gathering place at first.

But now he had already arrived in the Mixed Zone.

Another point where his guess was correct was that the thirteen Royal Guard reserve members indeed believed they could protect the Third Prince well, so they didn't stop him from going to the Mixed Zone and entering the battlefield.

After all, this was also an opportunity!

To let His Highness the Third Prince see their strength, and if they could successfully be transferred by His Highness the Third Prince to serve as Royal Guard, that would be even better.

The Royal Guard Team and the Royal Guard were similar.

However, the difference was that the Royal Guard protected the entire royal family, going to protect whoever they were commanded to.

The Royal Guard Team, on the other hand, was dedicated to protecting one person, with no change in the protected target.

Moreover, the Royal Guard Team was more leisurely than the Royal Guard.

Thus, when Star Stone Illusion returned, the Third Prince, Ancient Capital Si Dan, had just left the Undead's gathering place and arrived in the Mixed Zone.

"So this is the Mixed Zone. It doesn't feel much different," Ancient Capital Si Dan became excited as soon as he entered the Mixed Zone.

Although he had been wandering around the gathering place before, saying he wouldn't go to the Mixed Zone, deep down, he still yearned for the Mixed Zone, which he had never visited.

"Your Highness, please be careful. There could be danger at any time once you enter the Mixed Zone."

After entering combat mode, the attendant beside Ancient Capital Si Dan also became serious.

He was originally a secretary-like figure beside the Third Prince, Ancient Capital Si Dan.

And as a private secretary to the royal family, one needed to be versatile.

So he also had a decent combat ability.

However, due to some special means of the royal family, secretaries like him were suppressed to the same realm of strength as the person they followed.

With his Star Epoch Late Stage strength, he was considered one of the stronger ones in this Xingji Cave.

"Relax, I feel very safe with you here."

Ancient Capital Si Dan patted the attendant beside him and continued to walk forward.

The attendant didn't say much, just signaled the thirteen people to form a formation to protect His Highness the Third Prince, and then quickly followed.

However, as he followed, he also constantly observed the surrounding environment.

This kind of mountainous environment was the easiest place for enemies to hide.

So, as soon as he entered the Mixed Zone, he had already used a blue-quality Skill Card.

[Eye of All Living Things]: Able to perceive the bodies of non-Undead creatures.

Simply put, it was like thermal imaging.

However, the principle of this was being able to see the aura emitted by creatures of other races besides the Undead.

Except for the short distance and the fact that it was only within the field of vision, not 360 degrees, everything else was fine.

"Hmm, there seems to be a fight ahead?"

Ancient Capital Si Dan, who had also activated [Eye of All Living Things], was the first to notice the non-Undead creatures ahead.

And in Ancient Capital Si Dan's eyes, the actions of those non-Undead creatures looked like they were fighting.

"Your Highness, please observe first, do not act rashly!"

Upon discovering the battle ahead, the attendant quickly stepped forward two paces and said to Ancient Capital Si Dan.

Compared to other Undead lives, the Third Prince, Ancient Capital Si Dan, was obviously more important.

In this kind of battle with humans, if the humans were too strong, they would not appear.

If the humans were weak or if both sides were evenly matched, as long as it was determined that there were no other human ambushes nearby, they could act.

"I know that."

Ancient Capital Si Dan nodded, then led his people closer to the place where humans and Undead were fighting.

Their location was a high point, from which they could easily hide and observe the battle below.

"Hmm, that human holding the red spear is so strong." Ancient Capital Si Dan spotted the fiercest one on the battlefield with just one glance.

Frowning, Ancient Capital Si Dan turned to look at the guards beside him.

"Can you take him down?"

However, as soon as Ancient Capital Si Dan finished speaking, he noticed a figure riding a Black Flame Bone Horse.

"I think I've found my Princess!"
