Chapter 374: Bone King
Chapter 374: Bone King
Li Qian was indeed infuriated. If it weren't for these four guys recklessly intruding, leading to their misfortune, they wouldn't be in this predicament now.
Falling from the sky meant one thing, and it was clear that to reach Mo Yuan City, they would likely face a journey as arduous as Tang Monk's pilgrimage, enduring ninety-nine and eighty-one tribulations.
Li Qian stormed over, and before he could speak, Lu Tianjiao, who had arrived later, was already cursing, "How are you driving!"
In truth, Lu Tianjiao was well aware that this had nothing to do with their driving skills. The fact that their hover car had exploded in mid-air clearly indicated an attack.
However, at this moment, he was genuinely frustrated and needed to vent, so as he cursed, his face turned extremely unsightly.
Just as he stepped forward, before he could get close, he was stopped by two people—the two students who had given Li Qian a strange and worn-out feeling.
These two students looked very much like bodyguards of the two noble young masters behind them, and Li Qian thought it should be the case.
Being blocked, Lu Tianjiao, who was already in a victim mentality, instantly exploded with rage. His anger surged, and he asked, "Are you looking for a fight?"
The two male students didn't say a word, merely standing silently in front of Lu Tianjiao. This posture made the latter even more annoyed.
What's going on? Are they sending only two underlings to deal with me? Lu Tianjiao couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Li Qian, no one wants to see this situation. For now, the best course of action is to find a way back to Mo Yuan City!" Li Qian had originally come to argue, but upon seeing Lu Tianjiao's behavior, he immediately spoke up to advise.
At this point, arguing would not only be futile but also waste time, reducing their chances of survival.
"Li Qian is right. Now, the most pressing matter for us is to find a way to survive," the black-haired male student among the noble group spoke up.
Hearing this, Li Qian looked at him and asked, "Do you know me?"
"The first place in the Freshman Challenge Cultivation Competition, you cultivated a potential high-level Sunbird. It's hard not to recognize you," the black-haired male student said with an air of composure.
Seeing this, Li Qian had a certain guess in mind. Apparently, the identity of the man before him was not simple, and he was either wealthy or noble.
"Alright, let's not waste words. You two appearing here must also be students in this archaeology competition," Li Qian said.
He had already mentally excluded the two who blocked his path, as their behavior was too obvious; they were definitely bodyguards.
"Now, the most important thing for us is to find a way out of here."
Hearing Li Qian's words, the black-haired male student nodded, "My name is Li Kun, and this is my good friend Feriqi. Li Qian is right; currently, the most crucial thing for us is to resolve the dilemma before us."
"Resolving the dilemma sounds easy, but how do we do it? Don't forget, behind us are hundreds of thousands of skeletons," Lu Tianjiao glanced at Li Kun and spoke with disdain.
"Hundreds of thousands of skeletons?" Li Kun and Feriqi's faces changed simultaneously upon hearing Lu Tianjiao's words, and they looked rather peculiar.
Li Qian noticed something amiss and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It seems that for us, the situation ahead is challenging. Behind us, there are also hundreds of thousands of Flame Corpses," Feriqi said with a bitter smile, revealing the actual situation without waiting for Li Qian to ask further.
Zhou Yuanhao had just arrived when he heard these words, and his entire body froze. "What the hell? There are still hundreds of thousands of Flame Corpses behind us. It seems we're in for a rough ride this time."
It was no wonder he felt despair. Hundreds of thousands of skeletons and hundreds of thousands of Flame Corpses... If they combined, the scene would be too beautiful, and he simply couldn't imagine it.
"Damn!" Li Qian involuntarily swore, then immediately summoned Seven Sons and leaped onto its back, soaring into the air.
From his elevated position, Li Qian could see clearly that in the direction almost perpendicular to the Skeleton Sea, another red tide was raging, rushing towards them.
Li Qian even saw that in the distance, there seemed to be black dots rapidly approaching. After focusing his gaze, he realized they were Skeleton Birds.
"Damn it! They're really pushing us to our deaths!" Seeing the Skeleton Birds, Li Qian's face instantly darkened.
He had just been thinking about whether he could quickly leave this place by riding Seven Sons, but now it seemed that this path was also blocked.
"Hurry up and retreat! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!" Li Qian shouted as he descended from the sky while riding Seven Sons.
After alerting the others, he didn't hesitate and directly ordered Seven Sons to fly towards Mo Yuan City.
As for the others, he wasn't worried at all; with their abilities, they would surely keep up.
Indeed, his guess was correct. Behind him, a group of flying Companion Beasts rose into the sky one after another, and they were none other than Bai Bingbing's group of four, Dong Ning's group of five, and Li Kun's group of four.
Right, Dong Ning is the name of that dreadlocked girl; she's also a core member of their archaeology team.
Even if someone didn't have a flying Companion Beast, they could ride with others, and Li Qian glanced back, unable to stop his eyebrows from furrowing.
Dong Ning's group of five, injured as they were, wasn't moving very fast even after mounting flying Companion Beasts.
Sooner or later, they would be caught up by the group of Skeleton Birds in the distance, and although the Flame Corpses and Skeletons on the ground couldn't fly, they weren't slow either.
If this continued, the outcome would be the same; who knew how many people could escape?
"An Imperial-grade Necro Beast!" As the group fled, they observed, and suddenly, Yan Qiuyang shouted loudly.
Yan Qiuyang was the muscular guy among Dong Ning's group of five.
Hearing this, Li Qian instinctively looked over, but after scanning the area, he didn't find any clues.
In his confusion, Li Qian directed a questioning gaze at Yan Qiuyang.
Yan Qiuyang naturally understood Li Qian's meaning, and he immediately explained, "My Beastmaster Talent is Energy Sensory, with a sensing range far surpassing the Energy Detection Watch. I've already sensed an extremely terrifying energy lurking underground."
Just as he finished speaking, a loud "Boom" sounded, and a violent explosion kicked up clouds of dust.
In the dust, a large hole appeared, not far from Li Qian on the ground, and a towering skeleton, over fifty to sixty meters tall, crawled out of the hole.
"The Bone King! How can there be a Bone King!" Lu Tianjiao saw this scene, and his soul trembled, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.
What kind of hellish situation is this? Are they really going to push us to our deaths?!
