Necromancer: A New Era

The powerful spiritual force swept the whole place, causing a commotion among the mercenaries in the distance. This was an illusion deliberately created by Tang Yue. His purpose was just to find an opportunity to escape and lure these guys away.

The mercenaries gathered together and rushed towards the skeleton warriors who were rushing towards them like a tide in an orderly formation.

Osman looked at the battlefield coldly, secretly hating it. Long before Tang Yue arrived, he had led these experienced mercenaries to fight against the stone man. The stone giant was powerful and solid as a rock. Every swing was enough to make the earth tremble. But with the exquisite coordination of the mercenaries, it was like a wild beast that had lost its mind. It was forced to retreat step by step and fled into the dense forest with injuries.

However, just when he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief and take down the stone giant, the appearance of Tang Yue disrupted his plan.

When Tang Yue stepped into the forest alone, he seemed to be completely unaware of the impending danger. An experienced mercenary scout spotted Tang Yue and followed him carefully, but always kept a distance of several kilometers, for fear of alerting the enemy.

After receiving the report from the scout, a plan emerged in Osman's mind. He led his men to lurk around and deliberately let Tang Yue in, wanting to see with his own eyes what kind of ability this human adventurer had, and how he dared to break into this dangerous place alone. But he didn't expect that he could get the soul crystal he urgently needed so easily and quickly.

At this moment, Tang Yue stood in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by densely packed skeleton warriors. Although they were numerous, they had been injured in the previous battle with the stone giant, and their strength was greatly reduced. Despite this, Tang Yue was still fearless. He took a deep breath, raised the scepter in his hand, and a mysterious power rippled out.

The bone spear shot out and pierced through an approaching mercenary on the spot.

Under the blessing of Tang Yue's magic enhancement, the skeleton warriors seemed to be injected with new vitality, roaring and rushing forward. Although their steps were a little messy, their fearless momentum was terrifying.

Osman looked at this scene coldly, with a disdainful smile on his lips. He waved his hand, and the other mercenaries watching the battle behind him immediately understood, bursting out with strong fighting spirit and rushed forward. These mercenaries have been on the edge of a knife for years, and they are used to fighting. They cooperated tacitly, and faced with the skeleton warriors rushing in like a tide, not only were they not panicked, but they were faintly excited.

Several elven warriors quickly surrounded him, their shields shining with golden light, protecting Osman firmly behind them. At the same time, the elven archers behind him had already started shooting arrows, their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and every arrow was accurately shot at the lone skeleton warriors.

At this time, something strange happened, the power in the stone dome was gradually recovering, a lot of broken stones were flying in the field, gathering towards the huge stone dome. Several mercenaries who were instructed by Osman to finish off the enemy were blown away by an invisible force, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

Osman's eyes narrowed. Oh no, this guy is about to recover. He shouted anxiously, "Quick victory!"

On the battlefield, the battle between the skeleton warriors and the mercenaries entered a fierce stage. Although there were many skeleton warriors, they were unable to break through the solid defense line with the exquisite cooperation of the mercenaries. And every time a skeleton warrior broke through the siege and approached Osman and others, there would always be an elven archer who would take action in time and shoot them one by one.

Tang Yue stood at the edge of the battlefield, watching all this with a gloomy look. The previous battle was too exhausting for him. Moreover, he keenly noticed that although the strongest among Osman and others was only level 8, the cooperation between them made him feel more stressed.

"I can't go on like this." Tang Yue thought to himself. He began to quietly gather the remaining strength and prepare to create an opportunity for himself to escape. The stone dome was almost recovered, and he had to find a way to lure these guys away and not let them have any more impact on the recovery of the stone dome.

At this moment, a mercenary suddenly broke through the skeleton warriors' defense and rushed towards Tang Yue. He held a sharp blade flashing with cold light in his hand, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Tang Yue frowned, stepped back slightly, and waved his scepter, controlling the magic to be cast. Countless skeleton arms grabbed the mercenary, and several skeleton warriors blocked him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The mercenary knocked down the skeleton warriors in front of him one by one as if he was chopping melons and vegetables, but his movements also slowed down a little. Tang Yue took the opportunity to turn around and run. He knew that he had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise once Osman and others were free, he would be in real danger.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Osman sneered, and chased after Tang Yue. But at this moment, the skeleton warriors who had already fallen suddenly struggled to stand up, and they desperately pounced on Osman and others, buying precious time for Tang Yue to escape.

Tang Yue's figure quickly shuttled through the dense forest, and they did not dare to stop for a moment. Behind them, the sound of Osman and others chasing them was getting closer and closer. The chase lasted for a whole hour until Tang Yue finally got out of the dense forest and came to an open hillside.

He looked back and saw that Osman and the others had already reached the edge of the forest, but their speed had obviously slowed down. Obviously, in this open terrain, they could no longer rely on the cover of the dense forest to pursue as before.

Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped danger for the time being. But he also understood that this adventure was far from over. He had to recover his strength as soon as possible and then find a safe route to leave this dangerous place.

At the edge of the forest, the afterglow of the setting sun made the entire dense forest look like a dream. Osman, the usually arrogant and domineering elven prince, now had a gloomy face, and his eyes were fixed on the figure in front of him that was gradually moving away - Tang Yue, a human adventurer that he thought he could easily control.

Not long ago, they were confidently planning to seize the soul crystal guarded by the stone giant's dome. For a seriously injured strong man in the Osman family, it was the key to saving his life. However, all the plans came to nothing with Tang Yue's sudden move.

Osman never expected that this seemingly ordinary human could take the lead at the critical moment, not only taking the soul crystal, but also cleverly using the terrain and a large number of low-level skeleton warriors to get rid of their siege. This was not only a mockery of his strength, but also a trampling on his wisdom.

"Keep chasing!" Osman took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and ordered the mercenaries behind him. This mission must not fail!

However, just as they were about to continue the pursuit, a mercenary scout hurried over to report: "Sir, the stone giant has recovered his body. Should we continue to kill it?"

Osman's eyes darkened when he heard this. He knew that without the suppression of the soul crystal, the power of the stone dome would be restored to its original state, and it would be an existence that they could not match at all. Moreover, even if they could defeat the stone dome, it would be in vain, as their goal had already fallen into Tang Yue's hands.

"No need." Osman responded coldly, "That stone giant is not easy to deal with, and there is no reason for us to tangle with it anymore."

He paused, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Go inform the family and send more helpers. Tang Yue, I must catch you!"

The scout nodded in agreement, then disappeared into the dense woods in a flash.

Osman looked in the direction where Tang Yue left again, his eyes full of sinister intent. He waved his hand to signal the mercenaries to follow him: "Continue to chase, and at the same time expand the blockade. I want to make it impossible for Tang Yue to escape! Whoever can capture him will be rewarded with a million gold coins!"

Seeing the huge reward, the mercenaries' eyes lit up immediately. They all used their own methods and chased after Osman.

At the same time, deep in the dense forest, Shi Qiong's body had completely recovered. It felt the surging power in its body, and its heart was filled with a desire for freedom and hatred for those greedy mercenaries. It knew that it was Tang Yue who used his wisdom to fight for this opportunity to regain its freedom.

Shi Qiong turned his head and looked in the direction where Tang Yue left, with deep worry in his eyes. Although he had recovered his strength, Tang Yue was alone facing the pursuit of Osman and others. He couldn't just watch his savior fall into danger.

So, Shi Qiong took a step without hesitation and chased in the direction where Tang Yue left. Although its body was huge, its movements were surprisingly agile. Every step it took was accompanied by the trembling of the earth and the swaying of the trees.

Soon, Shi Qiong found the mercenary scouts who stayed in place to monitor him. He sneered in his heart. These tiny creatures dared to stay in his sight. He swung his fist like a mountain mercilessly and smashed it heavily on the ground.

"Boom boom boom~"

As the stone dome's attack fell, a shock wave that shook the earth and mountains instantly swept out. Those poor scouts had no time to react and were torn into a mass of blood mist by this powerful force.

After getting rid of these annoying "flies", Shi Qiong felt much better. He sensed Tang Yue's approximate direction and continued to chase him. He knew that his savior was facing great danger at the moment. He had to find him as soon as possible and use his own strength to protect his safety.
