The flame barrier disappeared, and Artoris recovered from her fright. Her eyes fell on a cannon barrel behind the door, from where the flames spurted out.

"There is a trap hidden behind the door. Fortunately, you were prepared in advance, otherwise you would be a roasted pig right now." Gawain said.

"Ah? Why am I the only one who turned into a roast pig!"

"Stupid!" Gawain knocked Artoris, "I am protected by fire. This kind of flame can't hurt me at all."

"Hmph" Artoris snorted, but even though she was a little unconvinced, she still breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Gawain was here, otherwise it would really be a roast pig. "Anyway, be cautious. I don't think this place is that simple." Gawain blocked Artoris behind him and took the lead in passing through the gate.

Artoris followed through, and the sight they saw shocked them both. The cave wall is already very wide here, and behind the door is like a palace. Artolis estimates that the area here is a thousand square meters. However, this "hall" is not very harmonious. It is full of wandering skeletons.

The blue fire in the eye sockets of the skeletons was floating, and the next moment they all looked towards the door. Although she saw a lot of skeletons along the way, Artolis was no longer afraid as before. It can be seen that Artolis was still shocked when she saw such a large skeleton army.

Gawain closed his eyes, and when he opened them the next moment, his pupils were already blue. "The analytical eyes showed that these skeletons are stronger than the previous ones, generally around level 40." Artoris' eyes fell on the groups of skeletons. If Two people can handle it if they fight alone, but if hundreds of skeletons come together, it is absolutely impossible for two people to handle it.

Artoris slapped her forehead, she had a solution! The wolf king was summoned immediately. The wolf king seemed to have been forcibly awakened from his sleep. He roared at the two of them, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

"I know, I just need your help. I'll continue to sleep with you later." Artolis said, rubbing the Wolf King's snow-white hair.

The Wolf King opened his mouth, and white ice mist spurted out. The next moment, thick ice walls formed on both sides of the door, leaving only an ice crack big enough for two people. Artoris thought that the two of them hid in the ice crevices and used monster blocking methods, so that the number of skeleton monsters surrounding them at one time would be very limited, enough for the two of them to deal with.

Gawain thinks this method is feasible and worth trying. From their point of view, those skeleton monsters are just low-level undead and are not intelligent creatures. All they have is the instinct to kill. If that's the case, then all it takes is one person to go out and draw hatred.

"Leave it to me." Artoris always volunteered for this kind of thing, but it was true that Artoris was better than Gawain in terms of agility. Artoris carried a sword-edged bow and rushed out like the wind. To attract hatred, all it takes is for the undead to feel their aura, so Artoris quickly shuttled among the piles of skeletons, slashing them a few times while passing through.

Discovering the breath of living things, the skeletons rushed towards Artoris like crazy. Gawain looked anxious and almost hit Artolis on the head with a flying ax. Artolis flicked her head and quickly dodged away. However, there were too many skeletons, so Artoris was still injured when she came back.

"Ouch, you're still hurting me and you're still knocking me." Artoris complained, holding her head. Gawain said: "Who told you to act recklessly?" Looking at the chasing skeleton army, Gawain smiled, "But the mission was completed well."

Artoris was quite happy to receive the praise. The two of them plunged into the ice crevice. With the small space in the ice crevice, at least there would be no chance of being surrounded by skeletons. And only three or four skeleton monsters can come in at a time, which is fairly easy for the two of them to deal with. Artoris' sword bow struck a skeleton, and the shadow blade was triggered, directly cutting the skeleton in half.

Seeing Gawain's ferocious fire attack, Artolis thought that if she continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before she could kill all the skeletons.

When the two of them killed nearly half of the skeletons, a bone arrow suddenly flew through the skeleton's empty abdomen. Artoris hurriedly pushed Gawain away, but unexpectedly, the arrow was too fast. Artoris had no time to dodge, and the bone arrow pierced her abdomen the next moment.

Bright red blood flowed from Artoris' abdomen. Fortunately, the bone arrow did not cause fatal damage to Artoris. After taking a bite of the apple, Artoris's angry eyes fell on the rear of the skeleton army. I saw a smaller skeleton standing there. A bone bow was tied to the skeleton, and the bone arrow in his hand was already strung, pointing at the two of them, looking like he was ready to go.

"Are you okay?" Gawain came back and saw that Artoris was injured, and he was worried in his heart. Artoris said: "It's okay, I'll leave this to you. I'll go meet the guy behind." As she said that, Artoris pulled the arrow out of her abdomen. The wound was not too deep, and only a little blood spattered out. Artoris tiptoed, then jumped up, then stepped on the head of a skeleton monster, and quickly landed behind the skeleton army.

Upon seeing this, Gawain increased the intensity of the Green Lotus Pure Fire, in order to attract the hatred of the main skeleton soldiers and prevent them from disturbing Artolis.

When the Analytical Eye opened, Artoris was surprised. The short skeleton in front of her turned out to be a skull leader called Bone Spirit, and he was at Xuanming level. No wonder the attack power was so high. Artoris touched the wound on her abdomen, which was now somewhat healed. The phantom world is magical. In the human world, if you suffer such an injury, it is probably hopeless, but it is different here.

When the bone spirit saw Artolis, it immediately released the bone arrow that had been strung up, but Artolis would not be hit this time. He dodged his body to the side, quickly dodged the arrow, then raised the Shadow of Flowing Light and rushed towards the Bone Spirit.

The boss is just different, at least much smarter than ordinary skeletons. The Bone Spirit seemed to feel the threat, and with two invisible legs, he exerted force, and instantly burst out with astonishing speed. He directly distanced himself from Artoris, and at the same time, he set the bow string, and another bone arrow flew out.

Artoris slashed with her sword blade and broke the flying bone arrow into two pieces. The next moment, Artoris's eyes were focused, and as her body rotated, she quickly threw out a silver-white crescent sword energy. The flames in the bone spirit's eye sockets suddenly grew larger, and at the same time, three arrows burning with blue flames shot out.

The arrow hit the incoming sword energy, and the sword energy disintegrated instantly. But the arrow did not shatter. Artoris's sword slashed out horizontally, and the blade struck the bone arrow. "Qiang" Artolis's arms felt numb, but she didn't expect the arrow to be so powerful.

The bone spirit moved very fast, and Artoris couldn't catch up with it at his speed. Artoris gritted her teeth. The Bone Spirit not only moved fast, but also had high attack power. Coupled with its long-range attack method, it would not be feasible to continue to use it like this.
