1009: C1009 The Skeleton Force

C1009 The Skeleton Force

At this moment, the ogre caught up to Zhou Yan, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It brandished its huge fist and attacked Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan hurriedly dodged and brandished his long blade to defend himself, but all of this did not hinder the ogre's offensive. The punch directly pierced through Zhou Yan's shoulder, causing blood to spurt out, but Zhou Yan did not feel any pain at all.

The ogre's attacks did not stop. Instead, it attacked Zhou Yan one after another. Zhou Yan fled all the way, but the attacks of the ogre were too fierce, so Zhou Yan had no choice but to retreat to the side of the wall.

Seeing that Zhou Yan could no longer dodge, the ogre raised its staff and smashed it down fiercely.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the entire ground began to tremble. Zhou Yan was sent flying by the monster, and he fell to the ground. His chest churned, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Zhou Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and looked at the monster in front of him.

This monster looked very different from a human. Its hair was disheveled, its skin was dark, and its face was full of potholes. The skin on its body was dry and cracked, as if it had just crawled out of the soil not long ago.

Although the ogre had already lost its rationality, its fighting instinct remained. When it saw Zhou Yan stand up, it ran towards Zhou Yan once again and whipped its leg at him.

"Humph!"

Zhou Yan snorted coldly. His figure flashed, and he instantly disappeared from the ogre's line of sight.

"Bang!"

Zhou Yan's figure appeared behind the ogre out of thin air, and then he punched the spine of the ogre.

The ogre's spine was instantly broken, and its entire body fell to the ground weakly.

"This monster's strength is much weaker than the Scorpion Tail Snake from before!" Zhou Yan muttered to himself. An enemy of this level was not enough to pose a threat to him.

Zhou Yan walked towards the ogre's body and dragged it to the side. He then threw its corpse to the side and prepared to leave, because he knew that the danger of the ruins was definitely not limited to this. If there was only this much information, it would have been explored a long time ago.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly walked over from the end of the tunnel.

They were a squad of heavily armored soldiers with spears in their hands, and as they walked they looked around warily, as if they were wary of the interior of the ruins. The passage was too narrow, and they might fall into a trap or a swamp, so they had to make sure that nothing went wrong before they dared to step into it.

When the group of soldiers saw Zhou Yan and the others, they were stunned for a moment before they immediately pulled their bows and arrows, aiming them at Zhou Yan. Their palms were pressed on the trigger, clearly wanting to pull the trigger and shoot Zhou Yan to death.

The team of soldiers shot out a series of arrows without hesitation. The dense arrows covered the sky and covered the earth as they attacked Zhou Yan and the others. Zhou Yan hurriedly turned around and fell forward.

"Humans?" The soldiers looked at Zhou Yan and the others with a frown and asked, "Why are you guys here?"

At this moment, Zhou Yan realized that there was no physical body under the armor of the soldiers. They were undead, but skeletons!

At the same time, the other groups of soldiers also rushed forward and quickly surrounded Zhou Yan.

"Haha, so it's just a few skeleton ghosts. This world is really mysterious. These undead also know how to eat people. Could they be the legendary ghosts?" Zhou Yan said in shock. He had heard of the ghosts before, but this was the first time he had seen them with his own eyes. Thus, when he saw that all these soldiers were skeletons, he was shocked.

"Humans, why are you here?" The officer in the lead frowned as he looked at Zhou Yan. He had a feeling that Zhou Yan and the others were not simple. Although they looked young and did not have much strength, he felt that something was not right.

"Whatever you care about us. We are here to look for something. Since you guys are here, I'll just kill all of you." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Humph, I would like to see if you have the ability to do so. Brothers, arrest him!"

The leading officer snorted coldly and took the lead to rush towards Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan looked at the charging officer and took a deep breath. He placed his weapon horizontally in front of him and threw out a punch. His punch contained the power of wind and thunder, as if it could shatter the void.

"Bam!"

With a loud sound, Zhou Yan's fist collided with the officer's fist.2

"Pfft!"

Zhou Yan immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying by the huge force, and in the end, he fell to the ground with countless broken bones in his body.

"Cough, cough!"

Zhou Yan coughed violently. He barely managed to raise his head and look at the officer in front of him.

He could see the military officer standing in the distance, looking down at Zhou Yan from above with a mocking smile on his face. Furthermore, Zhou Yan could vaguely feel that the military officer's aura was getting stronger and stronger.

"This... This guy's aura has become even stronger. Could it be that this guy's strength has increased again?" Zhou Yan thought to himself.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yan had no way to resist, because the military officer was looking at him with a mocking gaze.

"What's your name?" the military officer asked lightly.

"Zhou Yan." Zhou Yan replied calmly.

"Oh, do you know where this is?" the officer continued to ask.

"This is a ruin. We came here to search for treasures." Zhou Yan said lightly.

"Hahaha, what a stupid human. Do you think I would tell you the secret of the relic?" The military officer laughed sarcastically.

"You don't have to tell me to know that this is the ruins of an ancient city. It is said that there were many civilizations left behind here, and there are even traces of the gods here. However, the gods are long gone in the dust of history, leaving only this ruin behind, and you fellows who have survived are guarding this place and will not allow outsiders to enter. So I guess that this ruin should be a treasure trove, but since this ruin is a taboo, any human who dares to enter will be slaughtered by you, right?" Zhou Yan smiled and said.

"Haha, it seems that you are quite smart. That's right, this is our ancestor's temple, but this temple only belongs to the great Hero King. Any human who dares to barge into the temple will only die!" The officer said in a deep voice.

"Since that's the case, then why are you still talking nonsense?" Zhou Yan shouted angrily: "Since we dared to come, we should be prepared to fight with you, right?"

"Kill!" After the soldiers heard Zhou Yan's words, they all roared angrily and rushed towards Zhou Yan.

"Gao Shun! Prepare for battle!" Facing enemies that were several times stronger than their own, the five hundred elite soldiers showed no signs of fear. Instead, they raised their shields and charged towards the enemies.
