180: The impotent roar of the Bone Lord

Marquis Withered Bones’s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up.

“Who dares to attack my Withered Bone Mercenary Group!”

No sooner had he spoken than he vanished from his spot, reappearing outside the council hall.

What greeted his eyes was a scene of chaos:

Flames shot into the sky from the warehouse area, thick smoke billowed, and explosions echoed one after another.

Streaks of cyan light rapidly weaved through the smoke and dust, and wherever they passed, guards fell to the ground.

Moreover, swarms of bees buzzed, and once they approached a target, they immediately triggered violent explosions.

“Boss! He’s the one we met in the Central Mountain Range!”

A subordinate beside him pointed at Lin Xingyu and shouted loudly.

He was all too familiar with the star ray shuttle and Explosion Bees.

Especially the Explosion Bees; they were chased by these very Puppets back then.

The omnipresent explosions still left him with lingering fear.

“It’s them!”

Marquis Withered Bones’s eyes instantly lit up.

Doesn't that mean the secret realm core of the Treant Secret Realm is very likely on them?

“Surround them, don’t let a single one escape!”

...Inside the warehouse area.

Lin Xingyu and Wang Chiyao cooperated seamlessly.

The star ray shuttle was responsible for killing enemies, and the Explosion Bees were responsible for destroying buildings.

This time, Lin Xingyu deliberately set the teleportation point next to the warehouse.

As soon as the two appeared, they rushed into the warehouse.

“Brother Xingyu, we’re rich! The boxes are full of spirit seeds!”

“And over here, so much equipment!”

“Take it! Take it all!”

The two were like a swarm of locusts.

Wherever they went, all supplies were collected into their Inner World.

Leaving behind only empty storerooms.

No, even the storerooms themselves could not escape.

The Explosion Bees that followed closely behind blew them into ruins.

A large number of Withered Bone Mercenary Group members swarmed forward but were firmly blocked by the star ray shuttle.

After advancing to the fifth-order, the number of star ray shuttle once again doubled, now reaching 16.

When fully unleashed, even against a Sixth-Order Evolver, they could quickly kill them.

In just one encounter, more than twenty enemies were killed.

“Courting death!”

Seeing his subordinates suffer heavy losses, Marquis Withered Bones could no longer hold back and personally intervened.

He waved his staff, and wisps of eerie green mist, like living creatures, swept towards the two.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding Withered Bone Mercenary Group members instantly turned pale.

“It’s the leader’s Withered Bone Corrosive Poison! Get out of the way!”

Everyone desperately retreated, fearing to touch even a speck.

This poisonous mist was extremely vicious, instantly killing upon contact, rotting flesh and blood, leaving only withered bones.

The title of Marquis Withered Bones came precisely from this.

“Retreat!”

Sensing the terrifying power contained within the poisonous mist, Lin Xingyu made a decisive decision, taking Wang Chiyao and disappearing from their spot.

Seeing the two suddenly vanish, Marquis Withered Bones snorted coldly, a look of mockery on his face:

“Surround this place! If there’s any movement, attack immediately!”

As far as he knew, if a Secret Realm entrance and exit were to move, the controller had to use themselves as a coordinate to reposition it.

In other words, if the opponent was hiding in the Secret Realm, the entrance and exit would remain in place.

As long as the opponent came out, they would inevitably appear here.

This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity to “catch a turtle in a jar.”

He wanted to kill them with lightning speed the moment they appeared and seize the “secret realm core.”

“Notify the two vice-leaders to return to the camp immediately!”

To ensure foolproof success, Marquis Withered Bones decided to gather all Marquis-level Experts and take turns on guard.

Ensuring that there was always a Marquis-level Expert guarding at all times... Inside the Inner World.

“Brother Xingyu, they really are all surrounding that place!”

Wang Chiyao shouted excitedly.

The two had long anticipated this and had prepared a giant bomb.

Since acquiring the goblin bomb production line, it had been operating at full speed.

Now, they were not short of these things.

“Good, I’ll send it over to them now!”

Lin Xingyu nodded and casually opened a teleportation gate.

This time, he deliberately set the teleportation point directly above everyone’s heads.

The moment the teleportation gate opened, the giant bomb was thrown out... Withered Bone Mercenary Group camp.

Under the command of Marquis Withered Bones, the area where Lin Xingyu had previously disappeared was already tightly surrounded.

“Maintain maximum vigilance, the enemy could appear at any moment!”

“Go find the Formation Master and set up a Formation around here...”

Suddenly, an alarm blared in Marquis Withered Bones’s heart.

He abruptly looked up, only to see a huge bomb falling rapidly from directly above his head.

“Get out of the way!”

Marquis Withered Bones roared, rapidly waving his staff.

Streaks of energy shot out, attempting to destroy the bomb.

But it was too late.

The moment he cast his spell, the bomb exploded with a bang.

“Boom—”

Blinding white light instantly flared, and a deafening explosion echoed in all directions.

A terrifying shockwave swept out, destroying everything in its path.

When the smoke cleared, the nearby buildings were no longer there, leaving only a shocking crater.

Most of the members originally guarding this place were killed or injured.

None below the fifth-order survived, and even those above the fifth-order were all wounded.

This was still the result of Lin Xingyu intentionally controlling the bomb’s power.

After all, this was the warehouse area, and a large amount of supplies were still stored there.

If everything were destroyed, even if they took down the Withered Bone Mercenary Group, the gains would be greatly reduced.

The moment the smoke cleared, Lin Xingyu and his group flashed out, launching a surprise attack.

This time, not only he and Wang Chiyao, but everyone else also joined the battle.

The most eye-catching performers were Li Hongyang and Lin Hanshuang.

As soon as Li Hongyang teleported over, he entered berserk mode and charged towards the enemies.

His long staff swung like the wind, killing or injuring every enemy he encountered.

Lin Hanshuang was not to be outdone, her longsword unsheathed, a cold light flashing.

Wherever she went, blood splattered... Both their spirit seeds leaned towards attack, and their personalities were quite similar.

At this moment on the battlefield, there was even a subtle sense of competition.

Wang Ledian did not rush forward but cast “Curse of Misfortune,” enveloping the Withered Bone Mercenary Group members.

Jin Yaotian, on the other hand, transformed into a “healer,” throwing out a large number of buff skills, raising the entire team’s combat power by a notch.

This was precisely why Lin Xingyu valued him.

The support role that the team previously lacked was now finally filled.

The group moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already killed a large number of Withered Bone Mercenary Group members... Ten minutes later.

“Damn it...”

Marquis Withered Bones looked at the mess on the ground, his face ashen.

The moment he charged over, the opponents once again vanished into thin air, giving him no chance at all.

Now he had confirmed that the enemy could open teleportation channels at will, not limited to the previous location.

In other words, the opponent could launch sneak attacks anytime, anywhere, hitting and running.

How the hell do you defend against this?

Marquis Withered Bones looked around, finding his subordinates clutching their weapons, constantly guarding against possible enemies.

They had become startled birds.

If this continued, they would eventually collapse.

“Where’s the Formation Master? Why isn’t he here yet?”

He roared, his voice distorted by anger.

“Leader, the Formation Master died in the explosion just now.”

A subordinate reported hesitantly.

That guy was also unlucky; he encountered the explosion just as he arrived at the scene... If he had been a little later, he might have saved his life.

“Go invite an outside Formation Master, immediately!”

Marquis Withered Bones’s roar sounded again...
