Tianya Kuangdao inwardly guessed Qingcheng's relationship with Chu Tian and his group.
"Heh heh, you fool… what do you think? With our previous strength, could we have taken the fortress? Be grateful! If we had attacked from both north and south, what chance would your Slaughter Guild have had?"
Qingcheng's words hit the nail on the head regarding Tianya Kuangdao's suspicions.
"Just as I thought!" The latter revealed a knowing expression.
Chu Tian was about to speak with a smile.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted.
Following the direction of the disturbance, they looked up.
A headless warhorse, treading on flames, galloped through the air from afar.
Its four hooves left fiery imprints in the void.
A long trail of these footprints lingered behind it, slowly fading after a long while.
"It's Yi Zhi Rou Rou!" Zhao Lei quickly ran to Chu Tian's side.
His expression was solemn, and he even picked up his iron rod.
He appeared as if facing a formidable enemy.
Even Tianya Kuangdao, Qingcheng, the other guild leaders, and the members of the Reverse God Alliance who were clearing the battlefield.
Upon seeing Yi Zhi Rou Rou appear, everyone immediately assembled.
Each held their weapon, their faces etched with wariness.
They hadn't shown such grave concern even when facing nine million people.
"Boss, what do we do?" Gao Kai also approached.
"Yeah, what's the meaning of him showing up at this time?" Tianya Kuangdao narrowed his eyes.
He gripped his shield.
"Are you all that afraid of him? I remember he joined the Slaughter Guild, didn't he? Tianya, why do you have that look on your face too?"
Chu Tian remained remarkably calm, as did Qingcheng.
Unseen by others, within the assembled Reverse God Alliance ranks, one person remained unfazed, still bending over to pick through corpses and loot equipment.
This person was Ma Deju, whose in-game name was "Maximal Wealth."
"Yes… not long ago, this guy fell out with that fellow from the Huang Corporation, unleashed countless skeletons, and nearly slaughtered our fortress! Later, he turned his aggression towards Slaughter, becoming a ranger in the northern war zone, killing anyone he saw, defeating any monster, and clashing with your friends countless times. It seems these two brothers here have both died at his hands before?" Tianya Kuangdao referred to Zhao Lei and Gao Kai.
Chu Tian paused upon hearing this, turning to look at them.
The two nodded in agreement.
"Ever since you fell out with him, Yi Zhi Rou Rou has been opposing us at every turn! He's snatched several wild bosses from us. His boundless undead legion is too terrifying. Every battle we suffered heavy casualties. Him showing up now… with so many corpses on the ground! I fear…"
Before Gao Kai could finish, Yi Zhi Rou Rou stopped in their vicinity.
With a deafening boom.
The dark clouds above scattered like ink splashed on white cloth.
In an instant, they enveloped the entire sky.
Snowflakes like volcanic ash began to fall.
The ground was instantly covered with a layer of gray frost.
The air was filled with the scent of death.
"Boss… I'll go interrupt him!"
Gao Kai summoned his adorable, Q-cute flying battle pet, an owl.
As he prepared to step forward, Chu Tian grabbed him.
"Forbidden Spell… Necromancer's Scourge… Resurrection!"
*Buzz…*
The space vibrated.
The corpses on the ground, covered by the gray snow, all twitched.
*Crack, crack, crack…*
A grating sound followed.
All the bodies slowly began to stand up. As they rose, their flesh and blood continually sloughed off.
Falling to the ground, it turned to dust.
This flesh and blood seemed weathered by countless years.
Terrifying skeletons emerged.
Gao Kai, being held by Chu Tian, looked on with a bewildered expression.
At this moment, he knew it was too late. That terrifying entity had resurrected, unleashing over three million skeletons.
All the fallen allied forces were now his subordinates.
Facing nine million people, they weren't afraid.
But facing these over three million undead skeletons sent chills down everyone's spines.
Firstly, their grotesque appearance, coupled with the soul-stirring sound of bone friction, could significantly reduce morale.
Furthermore, these creatures were fearless.
Unless their bones were completely shattered, they wouldn't die.
Even if you severed their heads, the heads would still be on the ground, chattering and snapping, trying to bite a piece of flesh from anyone nearby.
And their torsos could continue fighting.
These things… were truly disgusting.
But that wasn't all. Just when you thought you had smashed these skeletons into bone dust.
The figure floating in the sky still had another trick up its sleeve.
It could reassemble these bones.
Forming a colossal behemoth.
The size of that thing would depend on the quantity of bones.
The remains of these over three million Holy Spirits… perhaps this was its final move.
That thing would be towering.
Potentially even larger than their demonized chaotic energy war chariots.
However, as they remained on guard, after the skeletons appeared, they moved through the ranks of the Reverse God Alliance players.
Several people thought about drawing their swords to attack.
But the skeletons paid them no mind.
They passed by everyone and moved away.
Forming a massive phalanx in the distance.
Even more comically, the formation was jostling.
They were mimicking Chu Tian's group's earlier formation, a blade-like array.
However, these mindless skeletons kept pushing each other.
As soon as the formation was established, some skeletons toppled over.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
"Stop pretending, you idiot, get down here!"
Ma Deju shouted from below.
Gao Kai and the others were startled.
"Heh heh!" The figure in the sky, hidden within a cloak, let out a tooth-grinding laugh. The headless, flaming warhorse turned around and descended in the direction away from Tianya and the others.
Tianya Kuangdao stared blankly as the figure landed beside Chu Tian.
"Boss, heh heh, did I do a good job pretending?"
This guy was nothing like the cold and terrifying figure they had described.
He triumphantly removed his cloak in front of Chu Tian.
Revealing a harmless, pale and chubby face with a fawning smile.
"Mmm… not bad. But I recall… telling you to secretly destroy Slaughter, why did you turn around and go against us?"
Chu Tian spoke these words.
Tianya Kuangdao flinched.
Then, as the situation changed, Yi Zhi Rou Rou began to speak.
"I intended to smash their guild stronghold. But then you went out of contact, and that idiot bossed me around, so I thought… smashing them would be too easy! Smashing Slaughter would only lead to another Slaughter being propped up by him. That guy has money and can do anything. It's better to let him be tied to Slaughter and then slowly decline, be abandoned and carried to their graves. That would be more satisfying, wouldn't it? Anyway, in the northern war zone, the Slaughter Guild poses no threat to our Reverse God Alliance. We can destroy them whenever we want! Then I carried out your orders to the letter, continuing to oppose our Reverse God Alliance. Of course, Slaughter, Qingcheng, and the others also gave me plenty of trouble, haha! I've been enduring for so long just for this appearance. You have no idea how excited I was when you contacted me this morning. However, these are only over three million skeletons, far fewer than the nine million you mentioned. There should be more behind this, right? Let's use these three million to push them back first, heh heh!"
This guy spoke like a machine gun, and Tianya Kuangdao's head was spinning from listening.
