The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!
Chapter 756 - 544 Welcome Back

Chapter 756: Chapter 544 Welcome Back

Lea also felt the blazing heat that seeped into her lungs with each breath, so intense that she had to curl up and cover her nose and mouth with her hands.

But she couldn’t afford to stay here for long. Behind her, more and more Crystal Magical Beasts were being pushed forward by those in the rear, breaking through the firewall. After paying a heavy price in charred corpses, they resumed their pursuit.

"Nine-Headed Dragon Flash!"

The Undead Wizard took a step forward, pulling Lea behind him, then quickly drew the strange sword from his waist.

He was like a warrior marching to his death.

Flames whirled, the sword light danced, and the onrushing Crystal Magical Beasts were slaughtered en masse, leaving a vacuum in front of them.

Then, walls of fire appeared vertically on both sides of the mountain wall, like closing teeth, starting to seal off from bottom to top, spreading all the way to the top of the valley.

Lea thought it would be quite some time before she could forget this scene; the Undead Wizard’s use of Magic went beyond her imagination, a simple firewall turned out to be an offensive spell.

"Run!"

They both rushed out together.

However, each magical massacre did not make the Crystal Magical Beasts cower in fear; instead, they became increasingly frenzied and fearless of death.

The firelight in the dark valley drew the attention of the Crystal Magical Beasts; as they were slaughtered by the flames, they were also captivated by the firelight.

The sword, covered in flames, once again cleaved a boar-shaped Demon Beast in two. Seizing the opportunity, Lea gasped for breath, her face streaming with sweat.

Everyone was just like her, their eyes filled with fatigue.

"Watch out behind you!"

An Undead Wizard suddenly shouted. It was a Crystal Magical Beast that had been torn in half by the firewall. Driven by instinct, it crawled forward, using the last of its strength to lash its fangs towards Lea’s back.

Because Lea was too far away from the others, and everyone was too tired, no one could lend a hand and could only watch the sneak attack unfold.

Lea quickly turned her head to look around. Her sword, moving faster than thought, spun rapidly, cutting off half of the sneaky Crystal Magical Beast’s head along with a whiff of the smell of seared flesh.

It was imaginable, if she suffered a serious injury at this moment, she would lose the chance to escape this place.

"We’re out!"

Supporting each other, they finally burst out of the valley.

Before breaking out, an Undead used a firewall at the entrance of the valley.

"Speed up and charge through!" The voice of the Undead came from beside her.

Although she was worried, Lea sped up to follow. She watched as she herself slammed right into the firewall. The intense heat made her hair curl, but fortunately, they were running fast enough that they were not hurt by the firewall. Instead, they took the opportunity to charge behind the firewall, narrowly escaping the instant it formed.

After a few Undead escaped, they quickly turned back and threw objects behind them.

The firewall became even more turbulent.

The Gale roared within the valley, being pulled outwards by the wind, like a giant mouth spitting tongues of fire.

The screams of the Crystal Magical Beasts told her that the final actions of the Undead not only successfully stopped the beasts from escaping but also caused very terrifying widespread damage.

"Uh—"

Almost drowning, Lea greedily breathed in the cool air into her stomach, and finally the dizziness was driven away, her blurry vision clearing once again.

Although the chase from the Crystal Magical Beasts was not yet over, in an open area, the Undead could stretch their limbs and fight vigorously.

After avoiding the Gale in the valley, the Undead Team quickly entered a "cooperative grinding" mode. Melee fighters drew aggro and attracted the line of enemies in the front, while ranged fighters used mass-destruction Skills from the rear to annihilate the enemy.

A sea of fire unfolded at the entrance of the valley.

It was as if a giant flaming pit had been laid, into which the beasts rushing out of the valley "consciously" jumped, dying in droves.

"This is how we gather materials," one of the wounded Undead said to the stupefied Lea, "but we didn’t expect you to be in there."

The implication was that saving Lea was just an accident.

The Undead, who were well-practiced in gathering materials, didn’t expect that they would accidentally save an NPC, and it looked unlikely that they were on a mission.

"Thank you for lending a hand, I will forever hold this in my heart," Lea said with a bow.

"It’s nothing," the Undead waved his hand dismissively.

In situations without conflict, normal Undead would interact with NPCs quite normally.

They kept increasing their output to try to maintain the scale of the flames, but at the entrance of the valley, which occasionally blew gusts of Gale, it was wishful thinking. The flames were blown out, and along with them came more Crystal Magical Beasts.

A retreat was necessary to maintain a safe distance, and then continue the harvest.

They were adept and seemed to have several methods to cope with the situation.

Another Crystal Magical Beast charged, but was quickly met by the shield of a melee Undead. With a "thud" sound, it was forcibly blocked, and then, as the shield shone with light, the Crystal Magical Beast was repelled.

The fire that closely followed then engulfed it.

This was a team very adept at working together. Lea, who was just about to lend a hand, repressed the thought, as she realized she found no opportunity to join in.

"Is this where you collect ingredients?" Lea asked.

She stood aside very "leisurely," comfortably dealing with the few stray beasts that made it to her side, not breaking a sweat.

Indeed, there was great disparity among the Undead. She had never seen such a synchronized Undead team before; they could even afford to chat with her while fighting.
