Chapter 2363“Mr. Chance, since there are living creatures here, could there be people here as well?” Archer asked
curiously. “I don’t know either. In any case, this place is quite peculiar, so everyone needs to stay
vigilant,” Jared replied..
With that, the party followed closely behind Jared with the utmost caution, slowly moving forward.
Although they were being extremely careful, they couldn’t avoid stepping on the numerous white bones
scattered everywhere.
The number of bones was so overwhelming that it layered the entire valley. They couldn’t avoid
stepping on the bones even if they practiced caution.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Suddenly, a rhythmic sound rang out. The noise was exceptionally ear-piercing,
echoing through the hushed valley. Jared stopped abruptly and scanned his surroundings alarmedly.
Everyone else was also in a state of panic, trying to pinpoint the source of the disturbance. However, it
didn’t take long for them to realize that the clattering sound was now reverberating throughout the
entire valley.
“Mr. Chance, look!” Skyler shouted. The next second, everyone saw that the bones strewed across the
floor had started moving. The white bones slowly levitated and began reattaching to form humanoid
skeletons.
Gradually, more and more of those humanoid skeletons were formed until almost all the bones on the
ground were used up. Thousands of skeletons surrounded Jared and his party. The sudden turn of
events filled everyone’s chest with dread and helplessness.
“W-What’s happening?” Even Matthew panicked. Soon, thousands of weapons-wielding skeletons
closed in on Jared and his group. They had no room to retreat further. Jared waved his hand and
brandished Dragonslayer Sword.“We’ll fall back for now. Let’s not move deeper into the valley.” Jared planned to lead Matthew and the
others out of the valley first. Now that something like that was happening. right after they entered, he
couldn’t fathom what other perilous situations might await them if they ventured deeper.
Jared took the lead and swung his sword at the skeletons, smashing a dozen or so into smithereens.
After he dispatched the dozen or so skeletons, several faint and undetectable auras seeped into
Jared’s body. However, he didn’t notice the auras because they were too indistinct..
“Attack!” Matthew and the rest also drew their weapons and charged at the skeletons. However, they
soon discovered a problem. The skeletons that Matthew and the others defeated were shattered, but
they were able to quickly reassemble themselves.
Only the skeletons Jared slashed with his sword disintegrated into dust and truly disappeared.
Everyone was perplexed by the circumstances. Even Jared didn’t understand the reason behind. it.
After fighting for some time, Matthew and the others failed to defeat even one skeleton with their
combined effort. Although the skeletons were not particularly strong, their numbers were overwhelming,
and they were mindless entities that didn’t fear. death, focused only on rushing forward relentlessly.
Soon, Matthew and the rest began to feel tired, and they slowed down..
“Mr. Chance, don’t worry about us. Why don’t you escape first?” Matthew said to Jared. Matthew knew
that although they could still hold out for now, if the fight dragged on, they wouldn’t be able to persist
much longer. After all, those skeletons were no different from immortals to them since they couldn’t kill
the skeletons.
“I won’t abandon all of you.” With that, Jared’s Dragonslayer Sword emitted dazzling golden lights.
“Nine Shadows!” Jared unleashed his Nine Shadows technique. In the next instant, six shadow clones
appeared.The six identical Jareds shielded Matthew and the rest of the party. Then, Jared swung Dragonslayer
Sword with all his might, turning a dozen skeletons into dust with every slash.
The auras emanating from the skeletons accumulated in Jared’s body.
