Chapter 32: Exploring the Cave of the Dead and Meeting the Undead Skeleton
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The environment changed the moment he entered the cave, just like when he crossed the glittering membrane.
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, an arrow shot from the darkness toward Xia Feng’s face.
After he developed a spiritual body, Xia Feng’s physical attributes and senses had been significantly improved.
Faced with the unexpected attack, Xia Feng unhurriedly blocked it with the Frost Blade.
Cling…
The arrow was easily deflected.
It would’ve been very difficult for Xia Feng to block the arrow without a spiritual body, mainly because it was too unexpected.
After blocking the attack, Xia Feng finally had the time to observe the environment.
The place looked like a cave with a very dark environment. Xia Feng only managed to see things in such darkness now that he had a much better eyesight.
The cave was quite spacious and square-shaped. It was dozens of meters wide, and he didn’t know how long it was.
There were a lot of Undead Skeletons in the cave. Most of them held bone swords and sabers. Some carried bone bows.
Some of the Undead Skeletons sensed the intruder, and surrounded Xia Feng with cracking noises.
“Big Black, protect yourself,” Xia Feng issued a warning, and went at the enemy.
He waved the Frost Blade, and cut the chest of a human-shaped skeleton.
An enormous force burst out, and knocked the skeleton away.
However, the skeleton stood up again from the ground only two seconds later.
If I can’t kill you by attacking your chest, let’s try your head!
Seeing that, Xia Feng jumped away from the bone saber of an Undead Skeleton.
Then, he thrust back, and precisely drove the Frost Blade into its head.
The tiny power of frost burst out, and quickly froze the head of the Undead Skeleton.
Xia Feng rolled his arm as well as the Frost Blade, shattering the Undead Skeleton’s skull.
Crack… Crack…
The skull was broken, and the Undead Skeleton instantly fell apart into individual bones.
[System notification: Soul Crystal (Low Level) +1]
After the Undead Skeleton was killed, it dropped a material that Xia Feng had never seen.
It was a black crystal that felt cold and looked similar to the Source Crystal.
He had no time to examine it, as the other Undead Skeletons had surrounded him again. Then, a bone arrow swooshed at him.
It was quite dangerous. Xia Feng had to deal with the arrows and three Undead Skeletons at the same time.
Luckily, Big Black rushed and knocked away one of the Undead Skeletons in time.
Xia Feng felt a lot less pressure now that one of the Undead Skeletons was gone.
He blocked an arrow with his blade first. Then, he clenched his fist and punched away another Undead Skeleton.
After that, he kicked the third Undead Skeleton off.
Taking advantage of the rigidity of the Undead Skeletons’ bodies, Xia Feng waved the Frost Blade while they tried to rise.
Very soon, all the three Undead Skeletons cracked into fragmented bones, and offered another three Soul Crystals to Xia Feng.
Finishing off the four Undead Skeletons, Xia Feng moved forward at the one that kept shooting arrows.
Shua…
Xia Feng was very fast, and covered dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
There were five Undead Skeletons ahead, and the archer who ambushed him was among them.
Another battle began. With the experience he just acquired, it was very easy for Xia Feng to deal with the Undead Skeletons.
Very soon, all the five Undead Skeletons were killed.
Before Xia Feng could catch his breath, noises came from the depths of the cave.
Three bigger Undead Skeletons, more than two meters tall with shields and machetes, were coming at Xia Feng with a dozen regular Undead Skeletons.
“What a bunch of sore losers. They sent so many soldiers to me,” Xia Feng mumbled, and quickly retreated to the entrance.
He pretended that he was leaving the cave, and a system notification popped up.
[System notification: Each person can only enter the Cave of the Dead once a day. Consider carefully before you leave.]
Xia Feng turned around and took out the Lightning Crossbow, shooting out three arrows quickly.
He didn’t aim at the skulls of the three Greater Undead Skeletons in the lead, but at their knees.
If he aimed at their skulls, the arrows would probably be blocked by their shields.
After all the exercise, and with a better body, Xia Feng’s precision was a lot higher.
Two of the three arrows successfully shot the knees of one Greater Undead Skeleton.
Bam…
The victim instantly fell to the ground, tripping up a few regular Undead Skeletons behind it. Those Undead Skeletons fell on top of the Greater Undead Skeleton too.
As a result, the Greater Undead Skeleton couldn’t get up immediately.
In the same way, Xia Feng shot down another Greater Undead Skeleton.
At this moment, the last Greater Undead Skeleton had reached Xia Feng with four regular Undead Skeletons.
Putting away the Lightning Crossbow, Xia Feng slid between the Greater Undead Skeleton’s legs with the Frost Blade in hand.
Seeing the sliding Xia Feng, the four regular Undead Skeletons behind it slashed with their weapons at him.
Xia Feng was protected by the Bone Armor, and was not very afraid of the attacks.
Covering his head, he knocked away the Undead Skeletons and broke free.
In the meantime, he killed one of the Undead Skeletons on the way.
The Undead Skeletons had an obvious shortcoming, which was their clumsiness.
Taking advantage of their shortcoming, Xia Feng began to kite them, and even made a spiritual bomb when he was free.
[System notification: Gunpowder -6, Iron -4, Bronze -8, Source Crystal -2, Fire Spiritual Rune -16, Earth Spiritual Rune -8]
Holding the spiritual bomb, Xia Feng made a signal at Big Black which was hiding in the dark.
“Big Black, come here!”
Hearing the call, Big Black dashed from the dark, circumvented the Undead Skeletons, and rushed to Xia Feng.
At this moment, Xia Feng was in the center of the cave, whereas the Undead Skeletons were near the entrance.
Looking at the Undead Skeletons that were approaching aggressively, Xia Feng pulled the ring on the spiritual bomb, and threw it to the Undead Skeletons.
“Big Black, run!”
The moment he threw out the spiritual bomb, Xia Feng fused whatever spiritual power he had into the Wind Boots, and escaped from the Undead Skeletons like a wind.
Boom!
A gigantic explosion hit Xia Feng’s back. The powerful blast instantly flung Xia Feng and Big Black away.
The cave slightly shivered because of the powerful explosion too.
However, the cave was solid enough and didn’t collapse. Xia Feng had confirmed it, or he wouldn’t have dared to use the spiritual bomb.
Lying on the ground, Xia Feng saw notifications popping up in front of his eyes.
[System notification: Soul Crystal +1]
[System notification: Soul Crystal +1]
[System notification: Soul Crystal +1]
[System notification: Soul Crystal +3]
[System notification: Soul Crystal +3]
Huh? Only two of the Greater Undead Skeletons died?
Reading all the notifications, Xia Feng rose from the ground.
