Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Wang Mu immediately realized that the skeletons in the first half of the night had reached level eight, and there were even a few level nine ones.

The skeletons that come in the middle of the night should be of a higher level. One or ten skeletons are fine, but with thousands upon thousands of skeletons, even the strongest warrior will have to hide after a while.

With that in mind, he looked around, hoping to find a place that offered both offense and defense. A hidden spot would be even better.

Looking closely at the surrounding terrain, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed, "You're quite clever. You've chosen a good spot, with a rock wall on one side and a cliff on the other."

"The paths at both ends are narrow, and the two steep slopes are made of stone steps, blocking the undead monsters at both ends. We only need to guard against attacks from the air."

Xu Ya was extremely intelligent and had thought of this place a few days earlier. Now that someone had pointed it out, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so she turned her head slightly.

"Xia Luo, are you really just an ordinary disciple of Li Yan?"

Seeing that the other party suspected her, Xu Ya quickly made a fuss, "How would I know about these things? I was originally going to find Princess Phoenix, but I happened to encounter an attack by the undead, so I had no choice but to hide here."

"Aren't you afraid the undead bone monsters will block your way here? If that happens, you'll only be killed."

Xu Ya feigned fear, seemingly taking a small step back unintentionally. "Of course I'm scared, but killing me won't be that easy."

The Phoenix Princess's words were not untrue. She possessed a high-level Flame Guardian, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Quasi-Saint level expert and holding off undead below level eight for several hours. Moreover, she had other treasures, such as spirit scrolls and ornaments, which were even more effective against undead, making it no problem for her to last for several hours.

Of course, this was her original idea. She never expected that a level seven undead would appear in the first half of the night, which was much stronger than those recorded in history books.

So she felt very fortunate, because the emperor had secretly climbed the sacred mountain tonight and met her here.

Thinking about their meeting, one thing inevitably came to mind.

As a princess of the Phoenix Clan, she possesses a certain precognitive ability. From her premonitions, she discovers that the Emperor has a great connection with her, but each time she only sees a blurry image.

However, Wang Mu still couldn't guess that the person in front of him, Xia Luo, who had spent most of the night with him, was the current princess of the Li Yan Phoenix Clan.

He wasn't dwelling on these things right now, and simply said, "Alright, you can rest over there. I'll try a little trick, I don't know if it'll work."

"What little trick?" Xu Ya asked as she followed him up the slope.

"Just watch."

After Wang Mu finished speaking, he used his palm as a knife to cut some tree branches.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ya thought to herself, "How come this person's palms are as sharp as blades?"

Before long, Wang Mu carried dozens of tree branches to the flat road and planted them on both sides of the path. A dozen seconds later, two neat rows of saplings stood on the path.

He clapped his hands. "It's done."

"Your Majesty, do you intend to use two rows of tree branches to block the undead monsters?"

"Just a little short." Wang Mu glanced at the Phoenix Princess and said with a smile, "I'll borrow something from you."

Xu Ya was a little confused. "What is it?"

"It's anything you usually use, anything will do."

Xu Ya was somewhat confused, unsure of what to take out.

"Hurry up, the cute skeletons are coming soon." After Wang Mu finished speaking, seeing that the Phoenix Princess still didn't understand, he added, "For example, the clothes you usually wear, the handkerchiefs you use, the jewelry you wear, the longer you wear them, the better."

Xu Ya blushed, but still took out a thin silver hairpin.

Holding the silver hairpin in his hand, Wang Mu laughed and said, "Just a stick? That's too plain!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am a disciple of Li Yan. How can I wear such gaudy things?"

"Why not? What does it have to do with your status as a disciple? If there's a chance, I'll buy one for you." After saying that, Wang Mu walked to the middle of the flat road and stuck the silver hairpin on the ground.

Xu Ya didn't speak, but just looked at the emperor in front of her, her eyes flickering from time to time.

Wang Mu walked back, thinking she was angry. "Beautiful Charlotte, there's no other way but to stick it in the ground."

"Knowing you're using it to fight undead monsters, why should I care about these things?"

"That's good, that's good. I'll borrow your Flame Spirit Power."

"Don't you know how to use Flame Spirit Power?"

Wang Mu laughed and said, "Your hairpin will naturally require your spiritual power. Anything will do, but the higher the level of spiritual power, the better the effect."

After hearing this, Xu Ya said no more and began to chant the incantation.

A sixth-level Li Yan spiritual power struck the silver hairpin. The white light did not extinguish, as if it was absorbed by the silver hairpin on the ground. The white light shot into the sky, like a thin white line, shooting straight into the dark night sky.

The Phoenix Princess was astonished, thinking to herself that once the spiritual power was unleashed, it should dissipate or disappear. How could it have turned out like this?

Even more miraculously, she saw the boy quickly make several complex hand gestures, then shout, "Illusion!"

The next second, the two rows of small trees in front of them instantly became two rows of tall trees, each more than ten meters high, and the white light in the middle also became much thicker, as thick as a washbasin.

"What is this?" Xu Ya asked, pointing to the array of trees.

"It's just an illusion array, with your mark inside. I don't know what its function is."

The Phoenix Princess was quite surprised. What she saw was not a spirit energy array at all, and she had never seen such a magical array before.

Looking at the night sky and then at both ends of the road, Wang Mu thought, "The monster should be here soon, right?"

Xu Ya casually gave a soft "hmm". At this moment, she could sense that the undead were getting closer and closer, and that they were of a high level. In her tension, she walked behind Wang Mu.

Wang Mu turned around and, seeing her expression, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Xu Ya patted her chest, "The second half of the night is the most dangerous time, so naturally I'm a little nervous."

Wang Mu laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Just wait and see the show, and you'll know what a magpie bridge reunion is all about."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out once the undead monsters enter the tree formation, hehe."

Sensing the approaching spirits, Xuya nodded gently, her voice tinged with trepidation.

Within seconds, Wang Mu also heard the distinctive sound of the skeletons walking and said with a smile, "They're here."

Xuya watched intently, not daring to even breathe.

Without keeping the two waiting any longer, a large number of undead appeared from above and below. The densely packed skeletons seemed not to have seen the Phoenix Princess and went straight into the tree formation, as if entering a tree-lined avenue.

"Ah, the Black Knight, the Dark Knight!" Xu Ya exclaimed in surprise, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Wang Mu also stared nervously at the row of skeletons in front of him, unsure whether the illusion array could trap these undead.
