Chapter 65 - Lethal Undead Arts (1/2)

“Mountain Mover, quick!” Startled, Fan Ganglie quickly told his pet to create several rock walls as their protection. The timely move successfully s.h.i.+elded the group from the flying bone spikes.

By expanding their astral perception over the wall, they saw the Magical Corpse Beast was somewhat smaller than before. That ma.s.sive attack had cleansed everything in its range except for a small pile of bones.

“That was Necro Blast.” Ye Chenshan grimaced. “Only a Magical Corpse Beast with exceptional apt.i.tude can learn this skill.”

“Go for it!” Su Ping called out to Little Skeleton in a merciless voice.

The “bone pile” broke apart and revealed several skeleton warriors inside. At the center of the group, Little Skeleton stood like a king accompanying its army, while its body was still covered by a creepy dark fog.

Roar!

That was Little Skeleton’s Deadly Roar skill. Despite its handy size, Little Skeleton unleashed an outcry more deafening than a thunder. Those who heard the reverberating sound felt their blood was about to freeze up.

This skill wasn’t much weaker than a dragon’s roar, and was usually enough to scare off common creatures.

The Undead Magical Corpse Beast was not frightened by this, but its movements were halted for a brief moment.

Little Skeleton and the remaining skeletons rushed at the Magical Corpse Beast once again.

Meanwhile, Fan Ganglie and Lin Mokong woke up from the trance caused by the terrifying display and both told their pets to join the fight.

Two Azure Quetzalcoatl beasts spat out lightning bolts and poison clouds that quickly disintegrated the beast’s bone structure.

The Mountain Mover created a fissure in the land directly below the beast, still with the hopes of trapping it.

Similarly, Lin Mokong’s Flame Bird unleashed b.a.l.l.s of burning lava at the target.

The Six-Armed Gorilla used its weapons to physically smash at what it could reach, while using its “free hands” to defend.

Roarrr!

The Magical Corpse Beast looked weakened after using the Necro Blast. But, being an ent.i.ty that was close to the upper eighth-rank, it could still retaliate by shooting more spikes into the sky.

The Flame Bird had one of its wings punctured by a spike and it tumbled down from the air. Seeing this, Lin Mokong quickly sent it back to his pet s.p.a.ce.

The Azure Quetzalcoatl was quick enough to evade the spikes, after which it spat another poison puddle at the Magical Corpse Beast which further corroded its husk.

Thanks to Fan Ganglie’s precise control, the Azure Quetzalcoatl and its shadow rapidly removed the entire outermost sh.e.l.l from the beast.

Meanwhile, the gorilla stayed in a melee range to attract the beast’s attention.

The battle had not been won just yet. Without any forewarning, the bones around the Magical Corpse Beast began pulsing, as if its entire body were breathing.

“This isn’t good. It’s going to use a Spirit Shock!” Ye Chenshan exclaimed.

Fan Ganglie and Lin Mokong quickly realized what that meant. A Magical Corpse Beast was one of the few Undead Astral Pets good at spiritual attacks, while “Spirit Shock” was one of its infamous big moves.

“Get out of there!”

They failed to pull their pets back in time. A strange energy ripple from the Magical Corpse Beast disrupted the area around its body and rapidly expanded.

Whirrrr!

Even at a distance and with the protection of his astral power, Su Ping still felt his head go dizzy, as if someone had knocked him with a hammer.
