Necromancer: A New Era

Tang Yue's figure quickly shuttled through the dense jungle, like a ghostly shadow. Although his steps were a little tired, they were still firm and powerful, and each step was a step between life and death. Behind him were the wolf-like mercenaries, their eyes flashing with greed and cruelty, as if a group of hungry wolves had set their eyes on their prey and were chasing them relentlessly.

For three days and three nights, the chase seemed endless. Tang Yue's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his face was full of fatigue. His heart was filled with bitterness. These greedy mercenaries fought so hard for money. He knew that the soul crystal in his hand was the target they were chasing. This crystal not only contained powerful energy, but was also the key to improving his strength.

The noise in the distance was getting louder and louder. Tang Yue knew that the mercenaries were catching up again. He took a deep breath, resisted the fatigue of his body, and increased his speed. However, the exhaustion of his physical strength made him feel weak, and the scenery in front of him began to become blurry.

"Damn it, I can't escape!" Tang Yue roared in his heart, but he refused to give up any hope. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, running forward.

In another part of the jungle, Osman's face was distorted to the extreme. As a noble of the light elves, he was always known for his elegance and nobility, but at this moment he was like an angry beast. After three whole days, he had not caught that hateful human. This was not only a humiliation to his ability, but also a provocation to his family.

"Damn it! It's all this damn human's fault!" Osman roared angrily, his heart filled with anxiety and unwillingness. The soul of the strong man in the family was injured and urgently needed the soul crystal to heal. As the hope of the family, he was unable to take back the crystal, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

However, the turmoil in his family and the injury of his grandfather prevented Osman from getting much support. He could only rely on his own strength and the help of the Mercenary Guild to hunt down Tang Yue. Although the Golden Guards had come to support him, they still felt powerless in the face of the vast jungle and the cunning Tang Yue.

Osman arranged for the mercenaries to surround the entire jungle, intending to force Tang Yue into a desperate situation. However, Tang Yue was like a slippery loach, always escaping their encirclement at the most critical moment. This made Osman feel extremely annoyed and helpless.

In the jungle, Tang Yue's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his steps began to stagger. However, his eyes were still firm and sharp, like a wounded tiger, exhausted but still maintaining the last bit of vigilance and fighting power.

He knew that he couldn't stop, as if he did, he would become the mercenaries' prey. He had to persevere until he found a chance to escape.

At this moment, an open area suddenly appeared in front of them. Tang Yue's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart. He ran towards the open area without hesitation, and the mercenaries behind him followed closely.

However, when Tang Yue ran to the center of the open space, he suddenly discovered that this open space was actually a trap. High fences suddenly rose up around him, trapping him in it. At the same time, the mercenaries also appeared from the dark and surrounded him.

"Haha! Let's see how you can escape this time!" Osman walked out of the crowd with a ferocious smile on his face. He finally forced Tang Yue into a desperate situation. This time, he wanted to completely destroy this hateful human.

Tang Yue looked around, his heart was filled with despair, but he still had no intention of giving up. He tightly grasped the magic wand in his hand, and powerful necromancy magic condensed in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, a magic circle was formed, and hundreds of skeletons rushed out. As soon as they appeared, they began to destroy the surrounding traps.

"If you want my life, then come and take it!" Tang Yue roared, and with the blessing of Tang Yue's 8th level strength, bone spears shot towards Osman with unparalleled power. At the same time, Tang Yue was no longer stingy, and a spiritual power gem appeared in his hand. The moment it appeared, it burst into dazzling light, and a powerful energy burst out from it, sweeping in all directions.

Osman was shocked. He could actually unleash such a powerful counterattack. He quickly waved his hand to let the mercenaries retreat, and he quickly dodged to the side. Several bone spears shot at the place where he had just landed. After the violent explosion, dust was stirred up all over the sky. The next moment, the powerful energy swept over like a violent storm, covering them all, and everyone felt a strong dizziness at the same time.

For a moment, the entire open area fell into chaos. Tang Yue took the opportunity to break through the siege and fled into the depths of the jungle. He knew that he had to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise once those mercenaries recovered, he would be in dire straits again.

Osman roared angrily and led the mercenaries in pursuit. However, Tang Yue had already disappeared into the dense jungle, and there was no trace of him. This chase seemed to have returned to the starting point.

However, for Tang Yue, this chase was far from over. He knew that he had to do everything he could to get rid of those greedy mercenaries, otherwise he would never have peace. He took a deep breath, endured the physical fatigue and mental pressure, and continued to run forward. His heart was full of determination and faith. No matter how great the difficulties and challenges were, he would not give up his hope and life.

Osman angrily swung the sword in his hand on the giant tree. The sharp sword edge split the tree into two, and the surrounding mercenaries were silent.

At this time, a team of well-equipped elves came through the dense jungle quietly but very quickly. They were dressed in emerald green armor, shining brightly in the sun, as if they were part of the jungle, and like the guardians of nature. These were the elven guards that the tribe had quickly sent after hearing the news.

The elf leader was tall and slender, with a handsome face and a pair of pointed ears that revealed his identity as a different person from humans. He walked straight towards Osman with a determined look in his eyes. The mercenaries who were standing or sitting around him unconsciously stepped aside under the powerful aura of the elves. The elves were born with arrogance and nobility, so they always maintained a detached attitude in front of humans.

"Your Highness, I have been ordered to lead 50 guards to support you. Please give me your instructions!" The elf leader stopped in front of Osman, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully. He looked up at the prince in front of him, his eyes full of respect and loyalty. Osman is not only the grandson of the strongest of the light elves, but also predicted by the elders of the tribe as the chosen one who may lead the elves to a more glorious future. Although he has not yet reached the Holy Land, he is only years old and is indeed just a minor child in the long lifespan of the elves.

Osman was delighted, he had been waiting for this reinforcement for a long time. He did not care about too much greetings at this moment, and hurriedly told the details of Tang Yue's snatching of the soul crystal and his escape, and at the same time seriously asked the Elf Guards to capture Tang Yue within a day and take back the crystal.

After hearing this, the elven leader clasped his fists and accepted the order without hesitation. Then he stood up and began to arrange the tasks in an orderly manner. He obviously had a very high command ability and rich combat experience. Every word he said was concise and clear, and every gesture was accurate. Under his arrangement, the 500 elven guards quickly divided into several teams and each took the order and left. There was no chaos or noise during the whole process. Even the mercenaries obeyed his orders surprisingly and began to leave according to the deployment.

At this moment, Tang Yue was still running in the dense jungle, unaware of all this. He thought he had gotten rid of all the pursuers, so he found a relatively hidden place to stop and rest. This was a large tree with a hollow interior. He sat inside and gasped, feeling both relieved and annoyed. He was relieved that he had temporarily escaped danger, but he was annoyed because he knew that these guys would not give up and they would definitely find a way to track him down. So, he stopped thinking about it, carefully eliminated his own traces, summoned dozens of skeletons to flee outside, and he hid in the tree trunk and began to rest.

At the same time, in the distant southern wilderness, Lina and her sister were riding a strong wildebeest and moving forward rapidly. Elfthard was floating beside them, and his deep eyes revealed a power that could not be ignored. This combination was particularly eye-catching in the southern wilderness, but strangely, the terrifying predators around them could only watch them from afar, as if they were intimidated by the powerful aura emanating from Elfthard.

They had been traveling for several months with no obstructions, and the few who were not so wise were easily dealt with by Ephisard like crushing an ant.

As they were getting closer and closer to the City of Hope, Efissad suddenly waved his hand to ask Lina and her sister to stop. The two sisters looked at Efissad in confusion, only to see that his brows were furrowed, as if he was sensing something. After a moment, he said a few words to the two sisters, and then he disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, Elfsard appeared in the shadow of a quiet valley. As soon as he stood firm, a vague figure appeared silently behind him. Elfsard was startled, but then relaxed - because he was so familiar with this breath! He turned around slowly. The vague figure made it impossible for him to detect, but the breath she exuded was very familiar to Elfsard. His body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes were filled with indescribable joy.

"Is that you? I'm glad you're okay!" Elfsald said excitedly, with a slight tremor in his voice.
