Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

The Legendary-grade Destruction Set, forming a four-corner Destruction formation, was just their backup plan.

In fact, they had long ago contacted the Demon Fiend Commander of the Skeleton Kingdom to lay a trap and kill the Black Skeleton.

Xie Changkong discovered that the Great Wasteland game was becoming less and less like a game.

It was like a real world, where the NPCs and even the monsters had their own intelligence.

This gave Su Lian’ya, known as the Mind Master, a lot of room to operate and bring greater benefits to the Temple.

The Demon Fiend Commander was a hidden chess piece they had placed.

In exchange for restricting players from attacking the Skeleton Kingdom for a year, they gained the Demon Fiend Commander’s cooperation.

Xie Changkong believed that with the power of the level 80 Legendary Boss Demon Fiend Commander, plus the tens of thousands of Demon Fiend soldiers under his command…

Once trapped, no one could escape alive, regardless of who they were, given the Demon Fiend Commander’s methods!

The Black Skeleton merely possessed divine skills; in the end, he was no god.

“Demon Fiend Commander? Changkong, I’m afraid the message probably didn’t get through. I’m not too sure if he’s dead, but… the Black Skeleton is already preparing to go to the Blood Hell Forbidden Land with Zhen Shanhe.”

“What?!” Xie Changkong’s footsteps in the jungle paused slightly, his pupils instantly contracting in disbelief.

But since these words came from Zhao Bai’an’s mouth, Xie Changkong had no choice but to believe them.

Because although Zhao Bai’an had the nickname “White-Haired Sage,” he was a very serious person who wouldn’t joke about such matters.

“The Demon Fiend Commander couldn’t hold back the Black Skeleton?”

Zhao Bai’an shook his head. “Not too clear. It seems the Demon Fiend accidentally ran into a former subordinate in Purple Fiend Castle, and this subordinate… seems to have some connection to the Black Skeleton.”

“What do you mean?” Xie Changkong’s expression changed, as if he had thought of something terrible. “Did the Black Skeleton see through our moves in advance and disrupt the Demon Fiend Commander’s plan?”

“Probably not, it might’ve just been a coincidence.” Zhao Bai’an shook his head regretfully.

“So the Demon Fiend Commander’s plan ended before it even began?”

“According to my informant planted in the Shanhe Club, they have indeed already set off for the Blood Hell Forbidden Land with the Black Skeleton.”

Zhao Bai’an sighed with emotion. “And Purple Fiend Castle has been destroyed by the Black Skeleton. Inside, it’s said to have become an empty city.”

“An empty city? Is that the real reason you came to see me today?” Xie Changkong glanced at Zhao Bai’an, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

“The Demon Fiend Commander must have left. With the Black Skeleton’s current strength, it would be hard to kill the Demon Fiend Commander.”

Xie Changkong wasn’t just speculating blindly. After all, if a level 80 Legendary Boss was killed, a world announcement would definitely be made.

Given A Silly Cutie’s personality of loving the limelight, there’s no reason she would suppress the world announcement if she killed a level 80 Legendary Boss, right?

“But if the Black Skeleton can join forces with A Silly Cutie to wipe out a castle with several thousand skeleton soldiers, then we may need to re-evaluate their strength.”

“Changkong, this is why I’m worried about your four-corner Destruction plan.”

Zhao Bai’an propped his chin as he walked through the jungle, falling into silence.

His expression wasn’t too pleasant.

Xie Changkong also didn’t speak, lost in thought like Zhao Bai’an as they walked through the jungle.

The atmosphere was a bit oppressive. The Black Skeleton was putting quite a lot of pressure on them.

The Temple’s long-established invincible legend and good reputation were the foundation of their ability to attract millions of players.

The Temple’s famous teams and twelve vice-leaders were the focus of many players’ attention.

Some things, they really couldn’t act openly.

And the shadow teams the Temple had trained weren’t fully developed yet. They could handle some top experts, but clearly weren’t enough to deal with the Black Skeleton.

This was also why he was conflicted.

“The four-corner Destruction plan remains unchanged. To be safe, add four more people for a total of eight. The Temple’s Blade Legion still shouldn’t be mobilized. I’ll contact the Renegade Desperado and see if he’s interested in taking this job.”

“Renegade Desperado? That madman is very arrogant, are you sure?”

Renegade Desperado was the disciple of the Supreme God and the leader of the Ten Villains.

The Ten Villains were already infamous in Mythic, establishing the Red Name Village Guild specializing in accepting assassination contracts and slaughtering players for fun.

They had no sense of loyalty, justice, or even self-interest!

They acted solely based on their own whims.

Often, they would massacre players over trivial matters.

Even their own business, they would handle perfunctorily.

Sometimes, even after accepting a contract, they would abruptly cancel it if they suddenly felt unhappy, even killing the client instead.

Such people had no credibility to speak of. Not only were they dangerous, but there were no guarantees.

Yet their strength was extraordinarily powerful.

Although the other nine Villains were far inferior to them…

Renegade Desperado was a natural genius and the Supreme God’s disciple. Having been taught by the Supreme God for over two years, he actually had the strength to contend for the Twelve Gods.

So there were many people hiring him to hunt players.

It made them even more unbridled.

Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn’t want to have too much interaction with them.

“Little Bai, you’re still as old-fashioned as before.”

Xie Changkong said as he walked, “As long as there are enough benefits, even gods will obediently listen. Unfortunately, Sister Ya couldn’t invite Lan Xingyue back, otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

“Then forget it, let’s do as you say. How do you plan to arrange it?”

“Little Bai, have you found out why Zhen Shanhe is traveling with A Silly Cutie?”

Instead of answering Zhao Bai’an’s question, Xie Changkong suddenly asked this.

But Zhao Bai’an didn’t mind and directly replied, “It seems Yun Xiang has some rapport with her.”

“Then there’s no problem. If possible, I’d like to deal with Zhen Shanhe together.”

“But now is not the time.”

Xie Changkong said leisurely.

“Have Gan Jiang collect materials for four more sets of the Destruction Set. I’ll pay for it.”

“Alright.” Zhao Bai’an waved his hand. The two exchanged glances, then both revealed helpless smiles.

Sometimes, being the top guild wasn’t as glamorous as others imagined.

…

“Master, is that Black Skeleton really that powerful?”

On the way to the Blood Hell Forbidden Land, Yun Hu of the Nine Rivers of Shanhe showed a hint of doubt.

“The Blood Hell Forbidden Land… The Temple dispatched the Blade Legion, one of their ten elite teams, led by Blood Dancer and Fist King Wu Ye. A full team of five thousand couldn’t break through. Relying on him alone, bringing us few brawlers and junior sister, I feel we won’t even be able to enter the gates of Blood Hell.”

Although Jiang Cheng looked quite dangerous and had shattered Array Emperor’s invincible legend, the Blood Hell Forbidden Land was a true forbidden zone.

It wasn’t that they lacked confidence in Jiang Cheng, but rather, they lacked confidence in everyone here.

“Let’s see how he arranges it.” Zhen Shanhe smiled faintly. “You say he’s not capable, but he may not even need a little brawler like you.”
