“We all understand the reasoning, but where should we go to find it?”

“Based on the information we have, there are currently only a few dozen undead players who have obtained the Bone Forge, and most of them are still low-level. The one who obtained the mid-level Bone Forge has now become a super powerhouse among the undead race.”

“If someone is willing to sell it, I’m willing to spend all my wealth to buy it!”

After more than ten minutes, Ji Chen closed the forum with a subtle expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, the Bone Forge was such a rare existence in the main world.

Out of the multitude of players, only a handful of them had emerged, which was quite astounding.

Yet, they had just entered this Skeleton Mystic Realm not even half a day ago and it seemed they had encountered one.

It seemed they had come to the right place after all. These mystic realms were indeed like treasuries.

If they could explore the entire mystic realm, who knew what more they might find?

As he looked at the distant Skeleton Camp, his gaze gradually turned fervent, as if he were staring at a gold mine. He waved his hand.

“Full force ahead! Attack the Skeleton Camp!”

The army set out again, ascended the high ground, split in two around Ji Chen, then merged back into one, charging aggressively toward the Skeleton Camp.

Within the camp, there was a tent made up of countless white bones.

Several higher-ranking skeletons were sitting on bone chairs, engaged in soul communication.

“How is the production status of the Bone Forge?”

“It’s producing steadily. At this rate, we’ll soon complete the task given to us by the king.”

“We need to be even faster. The king’s plan to invade other realms is being prepared. We must do more for the king’s great cause!”

“That’s right. The previous invasion plan was thwarted by a human, leading to the death of a prominent general. The king was enraged. This time, our plan must be flawless. We need to breach the gates and launch a thorough invasion of other realms without any room for error!”

“Hah, if I ever come across that human, I’ll definitely use soul fireballs to scorch his soul! I’ll ensure his suffering surpasses mere death!”

Just as they were enthusiastically discussing, they suddenly noticed that the soul connections of a few lower-ranking skeletons were severed.

A strong aura of living beings also drifted in from outside.

“Enemies are approaching!”

Upon receiving this message, the higher-ranking skeleton creatures were instantly taken aback.

Enemies?

How could there be enemies invading the Skeleton Mystic Realm?

Could it be from the outside world?

Although they weren’t sure what was happening, a surge of anger erupted deep within their souls.

For countless ages, no living beings had dared to enter this mystic realm. This realm was ruled by the skeleton race.

However, today an unexpected visitor arrived, and they felt that their pride was being disregarded.

“No matter the cause, whoever has the audacity to assault this location shall endure the agonizing torment of soul immolation!”

The sounds of battle grew closer, and they picked up their weapons and walked out of the tent, only to see a formidable army of several thousand people fiercely attacking the periphery.

At the same time, they also saw the human who was commanding in the middle of the army and roared in anger.

“Damn it! Could that human be the same one who disrupted the king’s plan the last time!?”

“Whether it is or not, we must kill him here. Otherwise, once the king finds out, he will surely be furious!”

“If it truly is that human, as long as we kill or capture him and present him before the king, we will surely be richly rewarded!”

“Hmm?” Ji Chen, who was commanding the army in a relentless slaughter, suddenly noticed that the previously disorganized skeleton creatures were now organizing themselves into formations and launching an attack.

Upon seeing this scene, Ji Chen quickly realized what was happening.

A skeleton commander had started to give orders.

He surveyed the surroundings and soon spotted a few distinctive skeleton creatures within the massive skeleton army.

At a glance, all of them were White Common-Tier skeleton commanders!

Could this mystic realm’s monsters’ commanders really show up so frequently?

Ji Chen muttered to himself inwardly while continuing to gesture his commands.

Just a few White Common-Tier commanders wouldn’t change the tide of battle at all.

“Full assault!”

“The target is the enemy skeleton commanders!”

With the command given, the army’s assault grew even more ferocious.

Like a massive rolling war chariot, it pressed forward, crushing the skeletons beneath it.

Whether it was the white skeletons, the black skeletons, or even the skeleton hounds, they all turned into shattered bones before the sharp onslaught.

Only the three to four hundred skeleton mages managed to inflict some minor damage, but under the combined barrage of Elemental Sea Pixies, not even bone fragments were left behind.

If viewed from the sky, Ji Chen and his forces were like sharp cones, piercing deep into the enemy’s ranks.

Having evolved to their current level, the higher-ranking skeletons weren’t much less intelligent than humans. Seeing their own skeleton army getting dismantled as if they were mere vegetables being chopped, the thought of escape had long surfaced in their minds.

Especially for those enemy commanders who hadn’t fought before, looking into their sharp gazes almost extinguished the flames of their souls.

The situation was extremely dangerous!

“The situation has changed! This human and his army are too powerful. We should retreat immediately!”

“Retreat? What about the Bone Forge in this area? And the king won’t spare us either!”

Upon hearing this, the other higher-ranking skeletons hesitated, but one of them quickly found a reason to justify their actions.

“It’s precisely because this human is so powerful that we should inform the king immediately. Otherwise, letting him escape would be an even greater offense.”

“You’re right. We’re not retreating… we’re informing the king!”

Several higher-ranking skeletons instantly reached a consensus and, accompanied by a small contingent of elite skeleton creatures, hastily began to flee.

Witnessing this scene, Ji Chen couldn’t help but frown, his expression growing stern.

Thinking of escaping? There’s no way!

He immediately shouted, “Daro, you and the Half-Orc Warriors chase down those fleeing skeleton commanders! Make sure to capture them!”

“Yes!”

Daro accepted the command and led a group of muscular Half-Orc Warriors, charging from the side to pursue the escaping skeletons.

Although the skeleton army held numerical advantage, the loss of the skeleton commanders’ command turned them into scattered chaos in an instant.

Under Ji Chen’s command, they were divided into several sections, gradually devouring them like a cake being slowly eaten away.

An hour later.

Not a single standing skeleton remained in sight. Everywhere were shattered white bones.

“Ding- You have slain thousands of skeleton creatures. Level up (19—>22).”

Looking at the system notification, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Ji Chen’s face.

Even before this series of battles, his level had already reached 19. But this time, wiping out such a large wave of skeleton creatures all at once brought enough experience to propel him up by three levels.

It seemed this trip to the mystic realm would allow him to gain several good levels.

Walking amid the white bones, Ji Chen leisurely entered the skeleton camp.

At this moment, a fresh batch of low-level skeleton creatures wandered over from the direction of the stone mountain.

It seemed the Bone Forge was on the side of the stone mountain.

Ji Chen casually gestured, and the army tore apart this group of low-level skeleton creatures.

Then he headed toward the stone mountain. Following the traces, he soon arrived at a sinister-looking cave entrance.

Without hesitation, he entered.

The cave was dimly lit, with skull torches affixed to the walls on both sides that emitted a dim blue flame.

Walking a dozen meters into the cave, he arrived at a circular domed space.

Looking around, a massive skull stood in the center, its empty eye sockets flickering with a ghostly blue flame.

With a slight click, the mouth slowly opened, and a few skeleton hounds walked out from inside.

When they saw Ji Chen, they visibly paused, then rushed towards him one after another.

Sounds of bones shattering echoed, and Anina set down her greatsword, clapping her hands expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Ji Chen began to size up this so-called Bone Forge.
