Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Chapter 39 - Ambush in the Fog



“–275!”

Before Yin Dog Xuan Yue could finish speaking, Qian Chonglang’s heart had already been struck by an arrow, and a “Critical Damage” floated above his head.

Immediately after,

“Boom!”

Under Qian Chonglang’s startled gaze, the arrows on his body exploded with a bang.

“–175.”

“You have been affected by the Destructive Arrow, you are severely wounded, and your movement speed is reduced by 30% for 3 seconds.”

“It’s the Boss!” Qian Chonglang hurriedly retreated. He glanced at his health and broke out in a cold sweat – out of his 565 HP, only 105 remained.

As the disciple of Qian Shanxue, one of the Twelve Gods, he was renowned as the Mad Dog of the Twelve Legends. Yet this was the first time he had ever been in such a sorry state!

“No, something’s strange about this archer.”

Xuan Yue blocked the next arrow from the Destructive Archer for Qian Chonglang. He subconsciously used the common skill “Scout” to check the Destructive Archer’s attributes.

“This archer has an owner, it’s not a Boss!”

Qian Chonglang gulped down three Basic Health Recovery Potions. In the instant of slow recovery, he also checked the Destructive Archer’s attributes and froze for a moment.

“Blood Hell Skeleton Assault Captain’s subordinate? What the hell?”

“Watch out!”

Qian Chonglang suddenly spotted a blood-colored Skeleton wearing a cape appearing behind Xuan Yue in the mist, raising a spear to slash at him.

His heart jolted and he subconsciously called out a warning.

“Just what I was waiting for!”

However, Xuan Yue wasn’t flustered at all. As an Assassin player, he was already very familiar with sneak attacks. Sneak attacking and defending against it had become his instinct.

Besides, with divine skills like Momentum Flash Strike and Void Flash, how could he possibly fear an ambush from a mob?

Flipping the dagger in his hand, he used it to push against Jiang Cheng’s Blood Hell Sword, preparing to seize the initiative. The instant he used the force to Flash away, he would throw the dagger to deal damage.

But in the next moment, a dazzling blade light shot into his eyes from the white mist.

“Not good! This is Blade Slash!”

“How is this possible? A Skeleton can use a Level 2 Divine Skill?!”

“Peng!”

The crimson blade light descended and the Assassin’s defensive skill “Hidden Shield” shattered.

Yet Xuan Yue still appeared unperturbed.

One of the Fourteen Divine Techniques, Void Flash, activated!

Void Flash could borrow the defensive skill that every class possessed.

The instant the energy shattered, it could preemptively link to the class’s movement skill.

This would trigger the game’s damage immunity mechanism and negate all damage from the attack!

Because whenever a class’s defensive skill shattered, there would be an energy dissipation effect.

And after connecting the movement skill in advance, it would seem as if the slash had cut through air, giving the illusion that the attack had missed.

Thus, it was called Void Flash.

Yin Dog Xuan Yue grinned. Borrowing the energy from the shatter, he used the Level 10 Assassin movement skill “Soul Tumble”.

In an instant, he negated Jiang Cheng’s fatal slash. Xuan Yue swiftly flashed out of Jiang Cheng’s 1-meter attack range.

Just as he was preparing to counterattack, he discovered that a blood-red spear tip had appeared on his body at some point.

But he wasn’t concerned.

Skeletons were one of the lowest-tier races among the undead. No matter how high their Attack, it couldn’t possibly exceed his HP—

“Puff!”

“2122!”

His health was emptied in an instant. Xuan Yue was dumbfounded.

Longer meant stronger – Jiang Cheng’s Blood Hell Spear was over a meter longer than the Blood Hell Sword.

How could retreating just one meter put Xuan Yue out of his attack range?

Xuan Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief as his body gradually disintegrated and disappeared.

“Player Yin Dog Xuan Yue has been slain. Plunder skill effect triggered. Hidden Shield successfully plundered.”

Jiang Cheng smiled in satisfaction. “I can use Void Flash now too.”

With that said, he looked towards the utterly shocked Qian Chonglang.
