With the Skeleton Warriors stepping into the next area, the Corpse Ghosts on the stone beds began to sit up one after another.

Pitter-patter, like dumplings dropped into boiling water, they jumped down from the stone beds in search of the culprit who disturbed their rest.

“Fire!”

Fang Hao immediately ordered to fire, and arrows like a rainstorm poured into the room ahead.

They hit the freshly landed targets.

Even though this attack was effective, the number of Corpse Ghosts was significant, and they began to launch a crazy counter-assault.

“Skeleton spearhands, move forward, raise your shields.” Fang Hao commanded loudly.

The Skeleton Spearhands in the rear moved forward, the kite shields in their hands were raised before them, forming a solid wall.

Long spears protruded from the gaps between the shields, pointing at the incoming enemies. The second line was made up of Skeleton Warriors, with their knight swords firmly gripped in their hands, waiting for the ensuing battle.

This time, Fang Hao did not bring any Skeleton Mages.

Apart from the slow speed of the Skeleton Mages, he did not expect to encounter such a large number of enemies.

Bang bang bang!!

The fearless Corpse Ghosts crashed into the shields, pierced by the long spears, like dry cured meat, not a single drop of blood was spilled.

The Corpse Ghosts roared in rage, swinging their weapons, hitting the shield wall again and again.

The skeletons behind, stepping over the bodies of their fallen companions, broke through the shield wall.

They began to fight with the Skeleton Warriors in the rear.

Neither side felt pain, nor feared death.

The Undead… it’s so damn scary.

The battle between the undead lasted almost an hour.

When the Blood Hunter’s longsword shattered the last Corpse Ghost, the battle finally came to a pause.

The Skeleton Warriors on Fang Hao’s side also suffered heavy losses.

Fang Hao glanced at the four unopened copper coffins in the distance and said to Blood Hunter, “You take our men back to a safe area first, I’ll go back and bring Anjia and the others here.”

The Blood Hunter’s combat style was marked by extremely high mobility.

In this narrow tomb, his combat power was greatly diminished.

Despite not struggling against the Stone Mound leader, he was delayed for a considerable amount of time before killing the enemy.

The presence of four copper coffins ahead foreshadowed the possible appearance of one or two heroic enemies, which would be difficult to deal with.

Although Fang Hao wasn’t worried in his supreme-ruler’s Presence state, Blood Hunter had already changed from a vampire to a skeleton and could indeed die if killed again.

It would be safer to bring Anjia and Fireblade along.

“Okay, sir.”

Blood Hunter, without showing any dissatisfaction, begins to command the remaining troops to pull back to the previous area.

Meanwhile, Fang Hao, exits his supreme-ruler’s Presence state and wakes up on the bed in his room.

He takes a sip of fruit wine placed beside his bed, and leaves the room.

Downstairs in the main hall, Eira was conducting culinary training with several maids.

The maids listened attentively, their big eyes round with interest.

“Master.” The maids hurriedly greeted him.

Fang Hao nodded, asking, “Where is Anjia?”

“She is at the backyard. Shall I call her?” Eira answered.

“No need, I’ll go find her myself. You all just continue your work.”

“Alright sir.”

Exiting from the back door of the lord’s house, here was a courtyard.

The courtyard was not a part of the mansion, but a beautiful little garden filled with flowers blooming around the Rejuvenation Spring, maintained by the maids and carrying a scent of floral fragrance.

Although birds did not dare to approach here, a lot of butterflies were still seen flying in the courtyard.

Stepping into the courtyard, he saw Anjia practicing boxing with a sandbag on a lawn not far away.

Sweat trickled down her neck, revealing her fit body that had a unique beauty to it.

When Anjia saw Fang Hao, she put her punching to a halt, “Have you finished over there?”

“No, I ran into a bit of trouble and need you to come with me.” answered Fang Hao.

“Let’s go then.” Anjia, wiping off her sweat, agreed readily.

“Alright.”

Anjia returned to her room for a quick gathering, then waited outside.

Fang Hao went back to his room to re-enter the supreme-ruler’s Presence state. The two of them mounted a Bone Dragon and flew towards the city where Fireblade was.

After much detour, they returned to the location of the ancient tomb in the mountains.

The three of them followed through the excavated tomb passage, meeting up with the Blood Hunters.

New skeleton soldiers had been replenished in the tomb passage, replacing the fallen ones.

“It’s those four copper coffins up ahead, we’re not sure what kind of enemy is inside, so we need to be cautious.” Fang Hao briefed Anjia and Fireblade.

With three heroes now, Fang Hao was quite confident.

Even if there were four enemy heroes inside, he still had a large number of undead soldiers, enough to overwhelm them.

“Yes, my lord,” Fireblade responded.

Anjia, on the other hand, folded her arms and didn’t say much.

Next, after Fang Hao had arranged the battle formations, he let a skeleton approach the copper coffins.

The closer the skeleton got.

A series of ‘thump thump’ knocking sounds rang from the copper coffin, as if someone inside was hammering against the sealed coffin lid.

“Prepare for battle.” Fang Hao ordered.

All the skeleton archers entered a steady shooting stance, aiming their arrows at the trembling copper coffins.

The skeleton archers were arranged by Fang Hao on both the open ground in the middle and the stone beds reaching the ceiling on either side, each filled with numerous archers.

The plan was to make sure that as soon as the bodies inside the coffins showed themselves, they would be greeted with a special welcome.

The trembling of the copper coffins grew more intense.

Bang!

With four loud bangs, the coffins were pried open, revealing the vicious monsters inside.

[Dusk Banqueters (Level 10)]

They still retained a human like form, their blazing red eyes emitting a bloodthirsty glow, and their twisted lips revealing sharp fangs.

They were dressed in exquisitely embroidered gowns, which had become tattered and weathered over the endless ages.

These were four real Blood Clan soldiers, not the undead they encountered outside.

Fang Hao let out a sigh of relief. They were merely four Level 10 soldiers, not hero units.

“Ah…ugh!”

The Dusk Banqueters let out an unseemly howl from their dry throats.

While they were still adjusting their bodies, Fang Hao gave the order.

“Fire!”

Swoosh!

Swarms of arrows, with a whistle in their flight, headed straight for the four targets.

Bang bang!

The four figures that had just stepped out of the coffins were instantly shot back into them, their bodies riddled with arrows.

“Reload, free fire.”

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

Hail of arrows fell like rain, continuously striking the bodies of the four targets.

Until the arrows covered the coffins completely, making it impossible to see or hit the bodies buried underneath.

“They’re not dead, are they?” Anjia asked from the side.

Clattering!

As soon as Anjia finished speaking, the four bodies within the mound of arrows shakily stood up again.

“Fire.”

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

No sooner had they risen than they were shot back down into the pile of arrows.

Fang Hao again signaled to stop firing and watched the targets from afar.

Clattering!

“Fire.”

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

It wasn’t until the arrow supply was running low that Fang Hao turned to the three heroes at his side.

“Try not to cause too much damage. We need the bodies intact.” Fang Hao instructed.

“Okay.”

The three heroes moved swiftly, charging toward the four figures struggling to get up.
