Chapter 24: Poisoning the Monarch
"Who stole the Holy Spring? Is this... blood poison?" A skeleton dressed in ancient martial arts robes sat up from the sarcophagus. With a wave of his hand, a bone spear flew out from a secret box in the tomb and fell into his hand.

The Skeleton Lord sensed the fleeing star in the distance, and the soul fire in his eye sockets trembled slightly. The remaining bit of the Holy Spring was gathered and absorbed by it. The next moment, it teleported out of the tomb and threw out the bone spear, pointing directly at Bai Jue!
Just one more step! Just one more step! If it is nourished by the Holy Spring for another ten years, it can retain its consciousness like the eight dead kings, unlike the ordinary undead who are muddleheaded and driven only by instinct... Just because of this thief who stole the Holy Spring, it is completely destroyed!
But there is still room for maneuver. As long as the thief is killed and the Holy Spring is taken back, there is still a chance to continue the ceremony. It still has a chance to continue climbing under the throne!
The road ahead was nailed by bone spears, and the surging bone forest formed an insurmountable high wall, forcing Bai Jue to turn back and face the Skeleton Lord.

His aura is not half as strong as Lao Tai's, nor can he catch up with the ghost tyrant who often leads the undead to attack the city, but he has indeed reached the level of an orthodox monarch, and the oppressive feeling is quite high.

"Let the blood parasite spit out the Holy Spring, and I can still leave you with an intact body. Otherwise, I will let you have a taste of being cut into pieces!"

Blood Gu... refers to the stars? Bai Jue was not afraid because the other party was a monarch. The poison had already penetrated into his bones. It depended on whether he could hold out until the poison took effect. The light of the constellation began to shine behind him...

"You are so stubborn!" Seeing that Bai Jue didn't respond at all and still controlled the blood parasite to protect himself, trying to cast high-level magic, the Skeleton Lord made his hands into claws and swept away!

The blood-colored evil blade made a strange humming sound, and Bai Jue vaguely sensed its essence that targeted the spirit. The constellation that was being drawn changed the star map, and a chaotic vortex emerged, swallowing up the evil blade and returning it.

"Chaos? Let me see how much you can bear!"

The Skeleton Lord raised his hand, and a dark green light spread around him. The world seemed to have suddenly fallen into the icy Nine Netherworld Devil Pond. Its skeleton showed an extremely strange texture under this light.

The empty eye sockets completely released blood, and a surge of death rolled over from this barren land, like a black howl that engulfed all the sky and stars that Bai Jue could see. The majestic and vast breath of the undead directly choked his throat, and he was unable to move!
"With your strength like an ant, how dare you invade my residence?" The Skeleton Lord approached step by step, piercing Bai Jue's chest with his bony claws and splashing hot blood all over him.

Feeling the fresh vitality, the Skeleton Lord slowly approached and greedily sniffed the taste of blood. The pain that had worn away his mind seemed to disappear, replaced by a peace he had never experienced before. Even the blood vessels that no longer existed seemed to have something flowing, and his empty chest began to beat again...

Bai Jue dropped his eyelids weakly. The huge gap between their realms made it difficult for him to have a chance to counterattack, so he could not let the Skeleton Lord detect his intentions.

Relying on a spiritual realm that exceeds that of the same level to cast sound magic can indeed compete with it, but the possibility of killing it is too small. As long as the Skeleton Lord wants to escape, he will definitely not be able to stay.

So how do you kill them? The answer is poison. The undead won't refuse a fresh and tempting meal.

Looking at the Skeleton Monarch who was intoxicated by the fragrance of his own blood and whose bones were beginning to turn black, Bai Jue's mouth curled up. In the past two years, apart from spending his money on spirit strengthening stars, the rest of his money was spent on poison. He has refined more than one kind of Monarch Poison, targeting both the body and the spirit.

Feeling the restraint brought by the surrounding forces, Bai Jue's body was filled with magical energy, and his own order was separated from the order of this world. He went back in time and changed his state to the state before he was injured.

Chaos realm, boundless romance!
The breeze and the bright moon are boundless, and I am also free!
"It hurts so much..." Bai Jue touched his intact chest, looked at the motionless Skeleton Lord in front of him, and sighed. This domain was strong, but once the magic power was opened, it was like opening the floodgates of a reservoir, and it didn't take long for the bottom to run out.

Originally, Bai Jue planned to wait until the poison in the Holy Spring took effect, but the dosage was too small and might not be fatal. Since the Skeleton Lord was going strong, he might as well let nature take its course and poison him with blood.

But when my chest was ripped open just now, the stars were able to fill and heal the wound. Since I had never been injured before, I only discovered that they have this ability now. This way, I will have more control over the battle in the future...

Bai Jue restrained his divergent thoughts, and the poisonous tide enveloped the Skeleton Monarch in front of him. It must be said that the Monarch's vitality was too strong, and it would take some time to poison it to death.

………………In autumn and winter, cold winds are rare in the central region, and the area within a hundred kilometers around the ancient capital is covered with dead grass. Everything is gray and colorless at a glance.

The ancient capital as a whole is also gray, brown, and old copper in color. Some of the brighter towers that can be seen within the city walls are just artificial whitewashing.

The city is oriented in all directions, and the roads become wider towards the center, and are neatly distributed around the clock tower.

The Magic Association of the ancient capital of Xi'an is established in the Bell Tower. The association's location is almost always a landmark, or it can be said that landmarks are always occupied by the Magic Association that holds the highest authority. Therefore, this ancient tower with a long history is always bustling with people.

The Hunter Union is located in the Drum Tower, and is only one thousand meters away from the Bell Tower where the Magic Association is located. The two famous towers face each other from afar, like two giant guardian eagles standing here...

The military forces are stationed outside the city. There are too many threats to the ancient Chengdu. Among them, the Tomb of the Dead and the Demon of Qinling Mountains, which are about to be listed as world civilizations, have made it difficult for this city to have peace for many years.

It is said that whether in the city or outside the city, if you dig a hundred meters underground, you will definitely find bones!
The bones are not scary, because they are just the remains of the warriors. What is scary are the creatures that have turned into remains but still miss this world.

These creatures often have no memory or consciousness, and some have the same hunger and murderous nature as wild beasts. If there is a living thing within a radius, they will pounce on it madly.

Therefore, the Hunter Alliance, the Magic Association, and the military have endless work to do every month, which is to "save" these creatures.

The people of this land live on the same piece of farmland as the undead. Even if they are not magicians, they have their own ways to avoid the attacks of the undead. Some ethnic groups with tough folk customs even rely on the land of the undead to maintain life in their villages.

This phenomenon is not uncommon in this generation, and has even been passed down for nearly a thousand years. To these residents, the undead are just like ordinary wild beasts. As long as the method is appropriate, even if the undead are extremely ferocious and kill any living thing they see, they can still live in peace.

Not long ago, the Shawang River became restless, causing a strange storm. The creatures sleeping underground woke up frequently within a month.

The awakening of something means more fighting. The chaos in the Shawang River has caused this land of the undead to no longer be as peaceful as before. Those villages that have relied on ancient methods to survive in the cracks of the land of the undead have suffered a devastating disaster. Four villages have completely disappeared from the electronic map overnight.

The people from the Magic Association and the Hunter Alliance took it very seriously and sent out surveyors. Once they detected a restless aura and fluctuations, they had to immediately notify the surrounding dangerous villages and have everyone evacuate!

However, not long ago, surveyors discovered that a red wind was rising in the Xianchi area, blowing across the land. When they went to evacuate the people in the villages in danger in the Xianchi area, they suddenly heard no news...
