Chapter 360 Nightmare Knight
Time passed quickly, and the five pets, having recovered, emerged from the platinum egg one after another, looking eagerly at the entrance to the third floor.
Bai Qi walked out of the safe house, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said.
"Is everyone recovered? Then let's go."
The five pets nodded repeatedly, followed Bai Qi into the teleportation array, and then disappeared on the spot.
There was a sickening spinning of the head.
The transmission into the third floor seemed very unstable. Bai Qi felt as if he was thrown into a washing machine and was tossed around randomly, and his internal organs seemed to be squeezed out.
Bloopers.
(Master, the transmission channel here seems to be damaged.)
Delta, who was extremely sensitive to space, immediately noticed the abnormality and immediately launched the Void Echo, merging Bai Qi into the void. Only then did the bumpy feeling disappear.
"Huh~ I finally understand why the lava man wanted to stop me. With this kind of teleportation array, a lower-level beastmaster would probably be seriously injured before reaching the third level, right?"
Bai Qi exhaled a few breaths with great effort, slowly adjusting his state, and the surrounding scene gradually appeared.
Dead silence.
This was Bai Qi’s first feeling after entering here.
Dark yellow sky and decaying earth.
The whole world seemed to be dying.
The thick death aura made Bai Qi and other creatures feel obviously uncomfortable, but Alpha and Jerry, who were undead, and the six sword servants all felt extremely comfortable. The omnipresent shadow power continued to flow into their bodies, strengthening their souls and bodies bit by bit.
Shadow and death are the main themes of the undead.
"If Alpha and the others usually live in a place like this, they would probably upgrade faster, right?"
Bai Qi looked at Alpha and Jerry, and the words that Bai Heguang said to him when he first trained him emerged unconsciously in his mind.
The reason why beastmasters are accustomed to specializing in one system for training, in addition to limited energy and resources, is also due to the attributes of the secret realm.
Woohoo~
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Bai Qi instinctively shrank his neck. Just as he was about to let his pets continue on their journey, a pale bone claw suddenly emerged from the ground and began to dig up the surrounding soil bit by bit.
In an instant, bone claws appeared one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, but this scene did not give people the slightest feeling of vitality, but instead made people feel a chill in their hearts.
"Did you guys just notice these things hidden around?"
Bai Qi looked at the ground under his feet warily, thought about it, and then hid on Delta and asked.
Crunch.
(Boss, their auras have merged with this land, and it is difficult to distinguish them.)
Alpha shook his head, and the powerful oppressive force of the Undead King poured out, suppressing the undead under their feet again.
Ahhhhhhh…
(I didn’t notice their mental fluctuations either…)
Beta's virtual pupils scanned above his head, but in his mental perception, all he saw was a ball of shadowy force.
"Is this the purest undead that the lava man talked about? A walking corpse without a soul, driven by the power of shadow?"
Bai Qi quickly understood the difference between them and Alpha.
Although they are all skeleton soldiers, Alpha and his men possess the fire of soul, which is one of the reasons why the undead can be contracted.
What we see before us are simply skeletons that can move.
Gah gah gah…
Just when Bai Qi and others were about to move forward, the undead also crawled out from the ground one after another. The skeletons all over the mountains were like a sea of bones, rushing towards Bai Qi and others.
"For safety reasons, everyone stay together. Alpha, you and the Six Swordsmen will lead the charge. Jerry, keep an eye out for any ghosts."
Bai Qi quickly issued orders, and the five pets also became serious, each doing their own job and guarding against possible enemies.
Because they have no souls, these skeletons have no idea what fear is. They just follow their instincts to attack creatures like Bai Qi. Even if they are beaten to pieces, they still have no intention of stopping.
Even some skeletons that had been completely shattered were reassembled under the guidance of the power of shadow and rejoined the attacking team.
"The Scourge of the Undead, I'm afraid that's it..."
Thinking of the records of the undead disaster in the book, Bai Qi's expression became more solemn.
No soul, no life.
As long as the power of shadow has not been expelled, these skeletons will continue to crawl up and attack living beings tirelessly until all living beings become their companions.
"Shuke, Gamma, prepare the holy light bomb!"
"OK."
Click, click.
(Gamma received.)
The two pets responded at the same time. Shuke controlled the Ether Gold to change rapidly, while Gamma split into a sub-body. The Twin Seals rotated, and the split body quickly turned into a holy light state.
However, the Holy Light Body did not take the initiative to attack, but instead jumped onto the giant cannon evolved from Gamma and drilled directly into the barrel.
The holy light body was launched directly and landed accurately in the sea of bones.
boom!
A white mushroom cloud rose up, and a large open space suddenly appeared in the originally seamless sea of bones. The residual energy made the skeletons who continued to move forward without knowing why, and they also followed the footsteps of their companions.
Holy light and shadow are mutually reinforcing and counteracting. Under the purification of the power of holy light, these skeletons will never be able to stand up again.
Seeing that the Holy Light Bomb was so effective, Shuke and Gamma launched another offensive. Mushroom clouds continued to rise everywhere, taking away countless skeletons.
However, the trend of the sea of bones moving forward has not changed.
"It would be great if we could master the core annihilation weapon technology."
Looking at the endless sea of bones around him, Bai Qi also had a headache.
Although the energy values of his five pets far exceeded those of pets of the same rank and their endurance was absolutely perfect, they could not withstand such continuous consumption.
Apart from the mechanical weapons that can be prepared in advance, there are few perfect countermeasures.
"Alpha, can you try to influence them?"
Crunch.
(I'll give it a try.)
Alpha swung the Sword of Death, shattering a circle of skeletons. Without waiting for the skeletons to stand up, he took the lead in absorbing the shadow power escaping from their broken bones.
Without the support of shadow power, these skeletons fell down one after another and began to absorb the power of the earth to recover, but they were completely trampled into pieces by their companions behind them.
"As long as the power of shadow is absorbed, the recovery speed will be slowed down? Tsk... I didn't think of such a simple truth in advance."
Bai Qi cursed inwardly upon seeing this, and immediately released all six sword servants. He did nothing else but absorb the power of shadow.
Delta and Gamma also reacted upon seeing this, one of them simply absorbed the shadow power into his body to trigger his evolution, while the other simply created countless clones, activated an energy-absorbing aura, and frantically absorbed the shadow power around him.
Gradually, the skeletons around Bai Qi became increasingly scarce, and the occasional skeletons that escaped were easily killed by the Six Sword Servants and became their nutrients.
These skeletons were nurtured by this land for many years. Almost every inch of the bones was filled with shadow power. Now they were absorbed so unreasonably by Bai Qi's pets. It would be impossible to restore them to their previous state in a short period of time.
Crunch.
(Boss, I think I've upgraded.)
Alpha put away his sword, returned to Bai Qi, and shared his changes as soon as possible.
“Is this an upgrade?”
Bai Qi was a little surprised. Since reaching the fifth level, Alpha's improvement speed has obviously slowed down. Even with the help of the Evolution Egg, the progress is still very slow.
As a result, I just mowed down some grass here and was able to level up directly?
【Name】：Death Sword Lord (Alpha)

…
Are the effects of secret realms with the same attributes really that strong?
I have to do one more when I get back!
Um, that’s not right. It seems that the attributes of his pets are all different, so they can’t be used interchangeably.
"Hiss... Does this mean that I have to give each of these guys a secret realm with different attributes in the future?"
Bai Qi suddenly felt a headache. The scene of his hands full of secret realm rings and his empty wallet appeared in his mind.
I have to work hard to make money again...
"Shuke, dig some soil and see if you can create a shadow land artificially."
Bai Qi took a look at the skeleton that was gradually showing signs of crawling up, and suddenly had another idea.
The land and water nurture the people. There is no secret realm with the same attributes yet. It should be okay to take some soil from the Shadow Land to nourish my bones, right?
After receiving Bai Qi's order, Shuke immediately took action, and Alpha and the Six Sword Servant had no intention of wasting time, silently absorbing the endless shadow power under their feet.
The other pets took the time to recover their energy.
The land returned to silence again.
"Is this all there is on the third floor? It seems a little different from what the lava man said?"
Bai Qi looked at the dead silent world in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.
He didn't think the lava man was exaggerating. Although the undead plague was terrifying, it was not enough to make the Emperor of France go to so much trouble. There must be some other crisis hidden here.
At least, it will not be weaker than the gatekeeper of the second level, the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beast.
I hope it's not too exaggerated...
Bai Qi sighed silently and was about to meditate for a while to recover his strength when the five pet beasts suddenly became alert and went straight into combat mode.
On a hillside not far away , a team of skeleton knights riding nightmares slowly appeared, their numbers far outnumbering Bai Qi and his pets.
Nightmare Knight.
Damn, whatever you think of really comes true. Good things work, and bad things also work!
