I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 18 The most awesome shield, the skeleton warrior has arrived!

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Cai'er's expression also turned serious.

Jiang Chen had already sensed the approaching enemy; the skeleton warriors had given him a warning.

In addition to the archers and mages we saw today, there is now a knight wielding a sword and shield.

The three surrounded Jiang Chen and Lin Cai'er from different directions.

Lin Cai'er frowned, her delicate face contorted with worry.

"These people are really persistent. They've been chasing me for days just because of a mid-level skill scroll, and they're not going to give up." Lin Cai'er stomped her foot angrily, then said to Jiang Chen, "I'm leaving now. If I have the chance in the future, I'll come back to visit you again."

Whoosh!

An arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness, but Lin Cai'er reacted very quickly, dodging the arrow in an instant.

However, unexpectedly, the arrow exploded, splitting into two beams that struck Jiang Chen and Lin Cai'er respectively.

A huge mark immediately appeared above Jiang Chen and Lin Cai'er's heads, flashing brightly in the darkness, like a lit light bulb.

"Oh no, these are marking arrows!"

Lin Cai'er's face turned pale; she realized things had become complicated.

Jiang Chen also recalled the description of the marking arrow.

This is an archer skill that marks a target, making it highly visible and preventing it from going into stealth mode.

Marking arrows are very effective against classes like assassins because they can limit an assassin's stealth abilities.

Furthermore, in dungeons, the Marking Arrow can also be used to deal with some monsters that are good at hiding.

If you are marked by an archer, your invisibility skill will be disabled, making escape extremely difficult.

"You won't escape this time."

A cold laugh rang out, and the mage we had seen before emerged from the bushes.

On the other side, an archer stood in a tree.

Another knight has also approached.

The mage gripped his staff tightly, his cold gaze sweeping over Jiang Chen and Lin Cai'er.

"I knew you were in cahoots."

"A filthy assassin, plus an evil undead summoner, what a perfect combination."

A faint light flashed in Lin Cai'er's hand, and a dagger gleaming with a bluish light appeared in her hand.

"He has nothing to do with this. I will give you skill scrolls. We can go our separate ways and be even."

The archer perched in the tree sneered, "Perhaps it was possible a day ago, but now we think it's safer to kill you."

The mage continued, "Dead people are the safest. That way, no one will know we have intermediate skill scrolls, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Lin Cai'er whispered to Jiang Chen, "Once the fight starts, I'll hold them off. You should run away as soon as possible."

Jiang Chen looked at her and asked softly, "And what about you?"

“I am a shadow assassin, the night is my domain, and I naturally have ways to escape.”

Jiang Chen knew that Lin Cai'er was just talking; if she could really defeat her opponent, she wouldn't have been forced to run away today.

Clearly, her opponent is much stronger. As a shadow assassin, she might have been able to escape before, but now that she's been hit by the marked arrow, her stealth ability is disabled, and her chances of escaping are extremely slim.

The archer said coldly, "Don't waste time talking to them. Kill them."

The mage raised his staff, releasing a bright light that illuminated the surroundings, dispelled the darkness, and increased the mage's spell accuracy.

This is a mage's profession: illumination magic.

More importantly, this lighting spell can counter the assassin's stealth ability, making Lin Cai'er feel very uncomfortable.

Every possible escape route is now blocked.

"Fight them!"

The dagger in Lin Cai'er's hand gleamed faintly, her body tense as she began to look for an opportunity.

The archer stood in the tree, bowstring taut, ready to fire at any moment.

The knight assumed a charging stance and charged towards them at an astonishing speed.

At that moment, the mage's staff also lit up, as if chanting some kind of spell.

This was clearly an attempt to kill them both instantly, leaving them no chance to escape.

"We're doomed!" Lin Cai'er's face turned pale. She suddenly pushed Jiang Chen away with all her might, pushing him out of the attack range.

But Jiang Chen remained unmoved; she couldn't push him at all.

Jiang Chen raised his finger slightly, and a skeleton warrior immediately appeared beside him.

The skeleton warrior stood firmly by Lin Cai'er's side.

"A summoned creature? What a waste of effort!"

The mage's eyes gleamed with disdain, completely disregarding the skeleton warrior. "Great Fireball!"

The mage's enormous fireball appeared, illuminating the surroundings like daylight, with flames splashing everywhere.

Only a level 20 mage can unleash this skill, and its power is extraordinary. If you are hit by such a fireball, you will either die or be seriously injured.

Lin Cai'er's expression changed drastically, and she quickly pulled Jiang Chen, trying to dodge to the side.

The mage clearly had strong practical experience, and immediately cast a mental entanglement spell.

Lin Cai'er, who was pulling Jiang Chen to try to dodge, suddenly felt Jiang Chen's body become heavier, and she was puzzled.

They could already feel the fine threads of spiritual energy coiling around their feet, slowing their pace.

The archers were not idle either; the bowstrings began to vibrate, and arrows were shot out.

An arrow suddenly split into three in mid-air, becoming a triple arrow. This is an archer's skill, capable of dealing three times the damage.

The knight's charge brought the two of them even closer now.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

Lin Cai'er's face grew paler and paler as she exerted force once more, trying to push Jiang Chen out of the attacked area.

Suddenly, two skeleton warriors appeared on either side of Lin Cai'er.

Three skeleton warriors stood guard around Lin Cai'er, like three shields, providing tight protection.

Boom!

The mage's fireball struck the skeleton warrior, sending sparks flying everywhere.

At the same time, the archer's three arrows struck the skeleton warrior, the clanging sounds echoing incessantly.

The knight, shield in hand, clashed violently with the skeleton warrior. The skeleton warrior remained unmoved, but the knight was thrown to the ground.

"Oh no, how could this happen!"

The monk could hardly believe his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

When he was besieging Jiang Chen and his companion earlier, he had already investigated Jiang Chen and discovered that he was just a level 10 professional.

Even if someone can summon undead creatures, they can't possibly be stronger than the summoner themselves.

To put it bluntly, the skeleton warrior is only level 10, while he's a level 21 mage who can absolutely one-shot the skeleton warrior...

The knights and archers who were thrown back by the shockwave looked as if they had seen a ghost.

What is going on?

四周突然响起了骨骼摩擦的声音，1只、2只、5只、10只、20只、30只…

A total of 44 skeleton warriors appeared before them.
