I'm in the world of Xianjian

After Li Xiaoyao and his companions arrived at Heishui Town, they found only a dozen dilapidated houses with broken doors, windows and roofs.

The sound of "creaking" in the breeze was terrifying. The town was completely lifeless, not even a stray dog, let alone a living person. Li Xiaoyao looked at the dilapidated town, his fists clenched until they cracked.

Zhao Linger looked at Li Xiaoyao and said distressedly, "Brother Xiaoyao, it has already happened."

Lin Yueru said, "Brother Li, I know you are angry about the villagers who were persecuted. Now all we can do is to destroy the Red Ghost King and let those who died in vain rest in peace."

Li Xiaoyao said, "You are right, let's go."

Just then, Anu heard footsteps and said, "Something is coming this way."

Li Xiaoyao also heard it, and looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned: two skeleton generals in armor walked towards them, one with a knife on his waist and the other holding two hammers.

Li Xiaoyao said, "I thought there was only one general in the General's Tomb, but this time there are two."

Little Stone said, "They are not from the general's tomb. The aura on them is completely different!"

Zhao Linger, Anu, and Lin Yueru said in unison, "What did you say!?"

At this time, Lin Shen had already arrived at the outskirts of Heishui Town. Seeing that the test he had set up had been triggered, he thought: I am not too late, but with the current strength of Li Xiaoyao and his group, those two skeleton generals are probably not enough to deal with.

But then again, I didn't expect there would be such a task to set up a test. I just thought this thing would be useful so I set it up here.

When the two skeleton generals saw Li Xiaoyao and others, they picked up their weapons and rushed towards them.

Li Xiaoyao said, "I can't care less now, let's fight. Yueru, I'll leave the hammer swinging to you."

Li Xiaoyao drew his sword and fought with the knife-wielding Skeleton General.

At this time, Lin Shen in the distance put on a mask and armor and said, "In that case, let's add some seasoning."

So Lin Shen snapped his fingers, and a magic circle appeared not far from Li Xiaoyao, and a group of skeleton soldiers ran out of it.

At this time, Anu heard some movement, and he and Ling'er looked in the direction of the sound: a large number of skeleton soldiers with shields in their left arms and swords in their right hands rushed towards them.

Zhao Linger said, "Anu, let's go!"

Anu replied, "Yes, Sister Ling'er!"

So the two of them rushed towards the skeleton army. Zhao Linger condensed the power of thunder and lightning. After accumulating power, dozens of thunder and lightning struck the skeleton army, and dozens of skeleton soldiers were blown into pieces.

Anu took out a handful of poisonous insects, chanted a spell, and threw them at the skeleton soldiers. With explosions, more than a dozen skeleton soldiers were blown to pieces.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao and the knife-wielding Skeleton General were fighting in close combat, and the two sides fought for more than forty rounds.

Li Xiaoyao took a step back, then pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, shouting "Ten Thousand Swords!" Countless sword energies shot towards the Skeleton General.

The Sword General was unable to withstand the multiple sword energies, so Li Xiaoyao concentrated his spiritual energy, forming a huge sword energy, and then shot it at the Skeleton General, piercing him with one sword. The Skeleton General holding the Sword exploded and died.

Lin Yueru fought against the Skeleton General with two hammers. The Skeleton General hit Lin Yueru with one hammer after another, but because Lin Yueru was agile, every hammer missed.

Lin Yueru first took out a handful of copper coin darts and threw them at the Skeleton General. The Skeleton General used his hammer to block them, but several of the copper coin darts still hit the joints of his bones.

The Skeleton General wanted to continue attacking Lin Yueru, but because of his damaged joints, his movements were much slower than before.

Lin Yueru saw that the time had come, gathered sword energy in her fingers, and then struck out with one finger. The blow blew up the Skeleton General's head, and the general took two steps back and fell to the ground.

Li Xiaoyao walked over, Yaoyue and the other one looked at each other and then went to support Anu and Ling'er.

At this time, Anu and Ling'er were still using magic to eliminate the skeleton soldiers rushing up.

Zhao Linger saw that the skeleton soldiers were still rushing up, and Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao also came over.

Zhao Linger shouted, "Brother Xiaoyao, Sister Yueru, and Anu, help me protect the law!"

The three of them answered yes. Zhao Linger then began to gather her strength. Anu used her Explosive Gu to eliminate some of the skeletons, while Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru dealt with the approaching skeletons. After a while, Zhao Linger felt her strength was complete and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

The three of them moved aside to make room for Ling'er. Zhao Ling'er slowly floated up and launched a thunder dragon towards the skeleton soldiers. The thunder dragon roared as it rushed towards the skeleton soldiers. Wherever it passed, the skeleton soldiers died.

Li Xiaoyao and the other two were shocked when they saw the shattered bones on the ground and the traces of destruction left by the thunder dragon.

Zhao Linger slowly floated down from the sky, and Li Xiaoyao caught her and held her in his arms. Zhao Linger's head was sweating, and her hands and feet were cold.

Everyone knew that this was a symptom caused by excessive use of spiritual power, so Lin Yueru fed her a soul-restoring pill.

The performance of Zhao Linger and others was seen by Lin Shen from a distance. Although he felt sorry for Zhao Linger, his current identity was not "Anos" but "General Sang", so it was not convenient for him to show up in person.

But he remembered that he had made a contract with Zhao Linger to transmit his voice over a thousand miles, so he put his fingers on his temple and began to transmit his voice to Zhao Linger.

Zhao Linger lay in Li Xiaoyao's arms. She was very weak and her consciousness was a little fuzzy, but she heard someone calling her in her head: Linger, I have seen your performance and I am proud of you.

You are our good Ling'er. I'm sorry I can't be with you, but I will always protect you.

Zhao Linger was muttering something in a low voice. Li Xiaoyao was the closest to her, so he heard it. Zhao Linger said, "Thank you, Anos, brother." After that, Zhao Linger fainted.

Lin Yueru asked, "What did Ling'er say just now?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Ling'er said 'Thank you, Brother Anos'."

Anu said, "What, is Anos nearby?!"

Lin Yueru thought of something and said, "I remember Anos once told Brother Li that he could only be a shadow. Isn't that what a shadow is? Although you can't touch it, it always follows and accompanies its master.

So I guess he has actually been watching us all along, but for some unspeakable reasons, he can only act in secret."

Anu said, "This is the only explanation."

Li Xiaoyao looked at the unconscious Ling'er and said, "It's useless to say anything else now. It will take time for Ling'er to recover her spiritual power. And there are corpse demons here, so we need to be on high alert."

Zhao Linger lay on Li Xiaoyao's lap, while Lin Yueru and Anu were on guard. Two hours later, Zhao Linger finally woke up.

After opening his eyes, he saw Li Xiaoyao with an anxious look on his face and called out softly, "Xiaoyao~Brother."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Ling'er, you're awake."

Zhao Linger said, "I...what's wrong with me?"

Lin Yueru and Anu came over, and Anu said, "Sister Ling'er, you just fainted from overusing your spiritual power."

Zhao Linger then remembered the battle just now. After standing up, she said, "Brother Xiaoyao, I just heard Brother Anos' voice. He has been with us the whole time."

Lin Yueru said, "We already guessed it. He said he could only be a shadow, although I don't know why. Maybe he had his own reasons."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Ling'er, are you still feeling unwell?"

Zhao Linger shook her head. Li Xiaoyao said, "Then let's keep going. By the way, I think we should search those shabby rooms. Maybe we can find something useful."

So the four of them headed towards the general's tomb while searching.
