Chapter 1225: Terracotta Army
With everyone's efforts, the skeleton warriors were being cut down one by one. However, to their despair, these skeleton warriors wouldn't die no matter if their heads or arms were chopped off; they would still stand up and continue fighting. It seemed that no matter how many times they were struck, it had no effect-these skeleton warriors appeared to be immortal. If this continued, they might all die of exhaustion without eliminating the skeleton warriors.
"There must be a way to destroy these skeleton warriors!" Chris Shelby frowned. If this went on, even he would be exhausted to death, let alone the others.
"Chris Shelby, you always have clever ideas. Do you have any way to deal with these skeleton soldiers?" Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams looked at Chris Shelby. Among everyone, only Chris Shelby understood formations. Now, they could only pin their hopes on him. If even Chris Shelby couldn't solve the problem of the skeleton warriors, they were all doomed.
Suddenly, Chris Shelby's eyes lit up. He exclaimed joyfully, "I have a way! These skeleton warriors may seem undying, but they might be the key to breaking this killing formation!"
Hearing Chris Shelby's words, Daniel Williams frowned and asked, "Chris Shelby, do you mean that to break this killing formation, we need to focus on these skeleton warriors?"
Chris Shelby nodded. "That's right! The killing formation is not much different from a trapping formation. We just need to find the formation eye among the skeleton army and destroy it; then we can break this killing formation!"
With that said, Chris Shelby transformed into a blur and moved swiftly among the skeleton army. His speed was so fast that the skeleton warriors couldn't harm him at all. But these skeleton warriors were almost identical, making it hard to identify which one was the formation eye.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Suddenly, Chris Shelby's eyes brightened as he pointed at a skeleton warrior that was noticeably different in color from the others. "That's the formation eye! Kill it!"
With those words, Chris Shelby charged forward with his sword. In the next moment, he decapitated the identified skeleton warrior. After it was killed, the movements of the entire skeleton army began to slow down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone launched an attack on the skeleton army. About an hour later, all the skeleton warriors were eliminated.
Seeing this situation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. These skeleton warriors were incredibly troublesome; without Chris Shelby destroying the formation eye, they wouldn't have been able to eliminate them.
Seeing that everyone thought the killing formation was broken, Chris Shelby said gravely, "Don't celebrate just yet; we are still within the killing formation's range. Stay vigilant." How could an ancient era's formation be so easily broken?
Hearing Chris Shelby's words, everyone's hearts tightened again. Suddenly, their expressions changed dramatically as they saw soldiers wielding swords and knives appear before them.
"An ancient army!" Seeing this, Chris Shelby gasped in shock. If the previous battle with the skeleton army was against a ragtag group, then what appeared now was a truly ancient army. These soldiers wore armor and exuded a murderous aura; they were clearly a powerful force.
"Why is there an army here?" Peterson Abernathy asked in surprise.
Chris Shelby frowned and replied, "If I'm not mistaken, these soldiers were stationed here to guard the tomb when it was built long ago. Somehow they've been preserved until now." He continued, "But judging by their appearance, they have no consciousness; they're like walking corpses. The ancient era truly is an incomprehensible time."
With that said, Chris Shelby charged forward with his sword in hand. Now was not the time for idle talk; only by eliminating this ancient army could they continue forward.
Chris Shelby's expression was extremely calm as he swung his sword and sent several soldiers flying. Seeing this, the others also charged into battle.
As he fought, Chris Shelby kept
thinking. The ancient era's army was indeed a formidable force; Emperor Frederick had once unified the world
with this army! But why had this army appeared here after thousands of years? Unable to figure it out,
Chris Shelby stopped pondering and focused on fighting.
Wielding his sword like a phantom, he continuously attacked and decapitated soldier after soldier in a shower of blood. After killing one ancient soldier, he immediately moved on to another. Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, soldiers fell under Chris Shelby's blade. However, his expression grew grim because this wasn't a sustainable solution-the number of ancient soldiers was simply too overwhelming. If things continued like this, they would all eventually die here. Two Grandmaster-level cultivators from the Abernathy family were surrounded by hundreds of ancient soldiers and were quickly hacked into pieces within moments-a gruesome death indeed.
There were likely thousands of these ancient soldiers; who knew how long it would take to kill them all? Chris Shelby's face darkened further.
Despite his strength as a cultivator at the Transformation Stage, even he couldn't withstand such prolonged combat without breaking through the killing formation-everyone would die here eventually. Not far away, Peterson Abernathy anxiously asked Chris Shelby if he had figured out how to deal with these ancient soldiers while slashing through several enemies himself with his treasured sword. The losses for both Abernathy family and Daniel Williams' men were mounting rapidly-not even royal guards were spared as dozens had already fallen to these ancient troops.
Chris Shelby didn't respond immediately; instead, he focused intently on finding the formation eye among these ancient soldiers while Tiger reassured everyone that their leader would find a way to break through.
Encouraged by Tiger's words but understanding their dire situation better than ever before-everyone decided now wasn't time for holding back-they unleashed their full power in battle despite knowing many more would still fall victim before any breakthrough could be achieved against such terrifyingly fesilient foes!
