We Have Three Thousand People, We Should Be Able to Take Down This Skeleton

Hell's forces in the human realm were not stable.

To a large extent, they also needed these outposts for logistics support.

Moreover, when Jiang Cheng destroyed the Magma Outpost, he unexpectedly received a timed mission.

It was an SS-ranked mission, instructing him to destroy 36 of Hell's teleportation arrays in the human realm. The rewards weren't specified, but this SS-ranked timed mission was level 200.

A level 200 timed mission, even if only SS-ranked, would definitely offer substantial rewards.

Additionally, this mission made Jiang Cheng aware that Hell transported hellish creatures to the human realm through these thirty-six teleportation arrays.

These arrays weren't easy to build, requiring materials that appeared only once every thousand years.

Once destroyed, Hell's plan to continuously send hellish creatures to the human realm would be disrupted.

Without a steady supply of hellish creatures, Hell's forces in the human realm would eventually be annihilated by Heaven's forces.

So these thirty-six outposts were crucial to Hell.

No wonder they had made them so well-hidden.

The Seven Demon Lords of Sin probably never imagined how thoroughly these players would infiltrate everything.

Hidden outposts that the Angel Faction had searched for over thousands of years were no secret against the terrifying numbers of players and their "die for money, birds die for food" mentality.

Actually, Jiang Cheng could have passed this information to the Angel Faction, who would have been more than happy to clear these outposts.

But he didn't do that.

Because if he told the Angel Faction, his intimidation factor would completely disappear.

He needed the Seven Demon Lords of Sin to know that even if his current strength wasn't sufficient, he wasn't someone they could bully at will.

"The outpost is just above the clouds at the mountaintop, Little Brother, can I not go?"

Huo Silou stood on a pointed rock barely large enough for one foot, shivering with cold.

Deep down, she didn't want to follow Jiang Cheng to destroy any outpost.

She just wanted to go down and get her members to leave quickly, avoiding any confrontation with the blue skeleton.

In truth, she hadn't been very angry earlier. She had just pretended for Jiang Cheng's benefit, hoping he would let her go down to warn Su Xiaolou and the others to get lost.

She knew clearly that her subordinates were just joking around, and they had actually come to rescue her.

So, she couldn't let her subordinates go to their deaths.

However... to her regret, neither earlier nor now did Jiang Cheng intend to let her go down.

"Just wait here, I'll be right back."

"Right back... hey, you can't just leave me like this!"

Huo Silou panicked.

How the hell was she supposed to wait?

She was currently at the peak of a mountain thousands of meters high, her feet balanced on a rock the size of a palm...

The wind at the mountaintop was strong... and very cold...

Not to mention, what if she slipped and fell?

"Ah..."

As soon as this thought crossed Huo Silou's mind, the moment Jiang Cheng turned to leave, she immediately lost her balance and fell screaming from the mountaintop.

"Help! Help! I don't want to die! Skeleton Big Brother, save me!"

The howling wind in her ears, combined with the force of the rapid descent, made her scream in terror.

Instantly, her screams echoed throughout Qiuming Mountain.

"Huh? I think I heard the Guild Master's voice."

"The Guild Master's voice? No way, I remember the Guild Master's voice is very seductive. She couldn't possibly scream so miserably."

"True, it probably isn't her. Our Guild Master is a very dignified woman, she wouldn't make such a pitiful scream."

At the mountaintop, Su Xiaolou and the others who had just climbed up heard the voice and became confused, stopping to discuss.

The scene became noisy.

But then, a blue light pierced through the mountaintop clouds, flashing past, instantly startling everyone.

"Whoa, what just flew past?"

Su Xiaolou's heart chilled, his breathing slightly stalled, and he cautiously stepped back.

"Not sure, maybe... Qiuming Mountain's boss?"

Luo Cheng made a random guess, then questioned, "Didn't you say monsters wouldn't appear on the mountain path?"

"I said monsters, not bosses!"

"Then what do we do? The Guild Master is waiting for us to rescue her. If it's a level 300 boss, what's the point of trying to save her? We'd be lucky to escape with half our lives."

Everyone was a bit panicked. The death penalty was currently too severe, and no one was willing to seek death.

"A level 300 boss is completely beyond what we can face right now. Rather than dying, we should run away quickly!"

Someone suddenly suggested, immediately gaining support from others.

"Yeah, the penalty is so severe now. Dying means waiting three days. Three days! After three days, I definitely won't catch up to the first echelon, then what good am I?"

"Vice President, let's retreat. The Guild Master is probably doomed anyway."

The group began to persuade Su Xiaolou to leave.

But Su Xiaolou raised his hand to stop them. "Don't panic. I just used Observing Eyes and saw that blue light. It seems to be just a skeleton, right over there."

"Just a skeleton? Pfft, it's only a skeleton? Damn, I almost got scared to death."

"But this is a level 300 wild area. Where would a skeleton come from? And even if it is a skeleton, it would be a level 300 monster. We couldn't even break its defense, right? Let's leave quickly."

People were still unwilling to take risks and continued to persuade Su Xiaolou to leave.

But Su Xiaolou still didn't choose to retreat. Instead, he continued, "Everyone, don't panic. This skeleton, you should all recognize him. His individual strength is very powerful, but we have over three thousand people. We should be able to take him down."
