249 Skeleton General
‘You make me feel like all the outstanding young people in the world are related to District Seven.’
The faces of the other districts were numb, but the Lu family was even more shocking.
“This Lu family is amazing.”
If they were to investigate the Lu family, it would be even more shocking. Everyone in the Lu family, from young to old, was outstanding!
Lu Xiaocha did not know that they had been under attention for a long time. After the last skeleton commander’s skeleton was removed, the ground shook violently.
The sky turned an ominous red, and there was a sense of grave danger.
The happy expressions on the faces of everyone who thought that they had won instantly froze. There was a very oppressive feeling in their hearts that made them very uncomfortable.
“Why do I have a bad feeling?”
Everyone stared at the ancient tomb. The pitch-black tomb looked like an unknown abyss. The opening of the realm gate during the recovery of spiritual energy had brought about an even greater crisis to this world.
The ground began to crack and shake, as if something terrifying was about to emerge.
“Get back!!!”
At the critical moment, the commanders of the various teams shouted for everyone to retreat.
Because they could feel that something powerful was about to emerge from the ground.
At that moment, everyone who had already rushed to the ancient tomb retreated like crazy.
The cracks in the ground grew larger and larger. This was even more terrifying than an earthquake.
Fortunately, the people here were not ordinary people. Even if they were injured, everyone was united and helped each other evacuate in an orderly manner.
The commander at the back was using his communicator to instruct everyone where to retreat.
“Those who are strong, bring the injured. Those who are agile, bring up the rear. Don’t leave any teammates behind!”
Even if it was the people from the heretic bureau, they would help as much as they could at this moment. No one would be abandoned.
When Xu Muda retreated, there was an expanding crack beside him. He supported an injured teammate. Seeing that the huge crack was about to expand to their feet, Xu Muda gritted his teeth with red eyes and roared as he pushed his injured teammate out.
In the next second, he fell into the crack.
“No! Old Xu!”
The teammate who was pushed out was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The crack just happened to expand to his feet and stopped. He ran over to the edge of the crack and cried loudly.
He heard the sound of wings flapping. He suddenly widened his eyes and looked over. He saw the winged youth struggling to grab the person who had fallen from the crack with both hands and fly up.
Lu Beichen’s barely mature wings had to carry the weight of two people. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. However, in the end, he still pulled him to the ground. He was so tired that he lay on the side.
Xu Muda had originally thought that he would be half-dead even if he didn’t die after falling into the unknown crack. He didn’t expect to be saved during the fall.
Lu Beichen was so tired that he lay on the ground. His pair of snow-white wings drooped, looking a little aggrieved.
The two tall men beside him hugged each other and cried tears of joy. They almost thought that Xu Muda was going to die.
“Brother, thank you. I owe my life to you from now on!”
Xu Muda patted his chest.
Lu Beichen waved his hand. He sat up and looked in the direction of the ancient tomb with a serious expression.
Most of them had retreated, but a small number of them stayed there to wait for the upcoming battle.
The ones left behind were the strongest among them.
His younger sister, fourth brother, and Fu Ye stayed behind.
Lu Beichen also wanted to stay, but he knew that he was not strong enough. He would only be a burden if he stayed.
Like Lu Beichen, there were many people who saved people at critical moments, especially the bloodline awakeners among the soldiers. The awakened bloodline was a bonus for them.
What was even more surprising was that many people had actually activated their bloodlines at the critical moment and were about to awaken their bloodlines.
Although this was good news, the bad thing was that the time of awakening was not right. This was because awakening one’s bloodline would mean that one had to go through a fever. Having a fever on such a battlefield was not a good thing.
On the command center’s side, after understanding the situation on the battlefield, they made a prompt decision. “Immediately send the people who are about to awaken their bloodlines to the post-war room. The medical staff will take care of them.”
“Clean up the weapons that can still be used and mobilize the Talisman Drawing Experts to speed up the production of Five Thunder Talismans and Exorcism Talismans. These talismans that are useful for heretics can be used on rocket launchers…”
Everyone was mobilized. Even if there was a commotion coming from the ancient tomb, no matter how strong the pressure was, they would not panic.
At this moment, even though the ground was shaking, no one retreated. Even the medical staff at the back looked exceptionally determined.
“Comrades on the front line of the battle, we definitely can’t let these heretics step into our territory and our city to harm any citizens!”
Accompanied by the powerful order, everyone held their weapons and waited solemnly.
Under the crack of the ancient tomb, the ground surged violently, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Kacha kacha…
A huge black bone palm that could blot out the sky crawled out of the ground.
As if there was a hole, the other hand of the huge black skeleton emerged, and right on the heels of that was its body.
Seeing the black skeleton slowly emerging from the ground and gradually blocking the sun, everyone swallowed their saliva in unison.
Facing such a powerful existence, everyone’s hearts trembled, but they would not retreat.
“F*ck… F*ck, if those skeletons were commanders, then… what is this?”
“This is too terrifying. How can there be such an existence? Can we really defeat it?”
“Even if we can’t beat it, we have to exhaust it to death!”
“This must be the skeleton general…”
“Whew…”
Only half of the skeleton general’s body was out. Its huge skull’s eye sockets flickered with two balls of blue flames. The bright flames made everyone panic.
The skeleton opened and closed its mouth, and a thick fog-like black gas was spat out.
It was obvious that the fog was not a good thing. The expressions of the people standing at the front line changed.
“Eat the antidote!”
Fortunately, when the first realm gate opened, they were dedicated to developing the medicinal herbs needed to refine various medicinal pills. Detoxification pills, Blood Replenishing Pills, and Injury Medicinal Pills were things that were usually in greatest demand and were prepared the most.
At this moment, everyone took out the antidote pills on them and ate them.
Lu Xiaocha and Yin Shian were immune to poison, so they did not have to eat them.
“This is a heretic close to a Grade SSS. Currently, this is the highest-level heretic our country has discovered. We can’t let it leave this place. Otherwise, our country will be in danger.”
“Comrades, for our families, and for Yunzhou!”
At this moment, all the warriors who heard the voice pumped up their chests and stared at the strongest heretic they had discovered with burning eyes. Their eyes were filled with determination.
For their families and Yunzhou, they definitely could not back down!
