Their bones, soaked in the blood of immortals, had mutated, making them extremely tough and difficult to deal with.
During the process of entering the cave, the group had experienced many battles and had a deep understanding of the situation.
As they watched the burly figures rushing out from the tunnel, terror filled their eyes.
What should they do?
“Retreat back into the cave and guard the entrance!”
Everyone thought that this might be the only way; otherwise, fighting the numerous undead guards in such an open space would be tantamount to courting death!
Lin Chen stood alone on the other side while loud rumblings echoed from the surrounding tunnel entrances.
Zhu Yao shouted, “Lin Chen, hurry over here!”
Lin Chen gestured to them, not only refusing to come over, but also retreating back into the tunnel he had just come from.
He then found a recess in the wall and leaned against it.
As the undead guards rushed out of the tunnel, they passed Lin Chen without even glancing at him.
Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief, but worry rose in his heart.
Could the cultivators on the other side hold off this many undead guards?
Lin Chen dared not reveal anything strange, although he had comprehended the Death Mark, he could only covertly protect himself.
It would have limited use in this group battle.
Only by not utilizing spiritual power could he maintain his “stone” state.
If he revealed his power, he would expose himself, which was why he retreated back into the tunnel.
Beyond the undead guards, there were still four immortal slaves.
If they discovered something unusual about him, they would definitely attack him – a situation he could not afford.
The cultivators retreated into the cave and managed to temporarily hold off the attacks of the undead guards by taking advantage of their terrain.
However, outside was a sea of undead and a monster tide, and in front of them were fierce undead guards that relentlessly charged forward.
If they could not break the formation, death would be the only outcome.
“We must break the formation!
Break through!”
“Agreed!”
“That arm must belong to an immortal.
Otherwise, why would it be guarded and suppressed by so many people?
If we can retrieve the immortal’s arm, there might still be a chance of survival!”
“Let this old man handle it.
I’ve had enough of this feeble feeling.
Win or lose, it all comes down to this.
Even if I can’t survive, at least I can take part in such a great battle in my life!”
“I’m coming too!
I’ve never been so humiliated before.
I want to slaughter them!”
After a brief discussion, three elderly people who seemed to be on their last breath volunteered.
“Stand back!”
The moment they straightened their bodies, their aura suddenly underwent a tremendous change.
Boundless spiritual energy poured into their bodies at a rapid pace, and their aura became powerful and dangerous as if they were divine spirits descending from the heavens.
The wrinkles on their faces visibly smoothed out, making them younger.
The whole transformation was like a pickled cucumber becoming hydrated and turning into a fresh, tender cucumber.
The three of them broke through their limits and entered the Crossing Tribulation stage, like war gods, and flew towards the cave entrance.
“Die!”
The leading old man sacrificed a black bead, which shot at an undead guard’s head like a bullet.
The hard skull crumbled instantly.
The black bead penetrated the guard’s side and struck the flickering ghost flame in its eye.
The ghost flame was extinguished.
The undead guard immediately fell to the ground, turning into lifeless bones.
This greatly boosted the morale of the cultivators!
The undead guards could be defeated and destroyed!
Seeing this, Yan Chusheng and the others’ faces changed drastically.
Although they were half-immortals and possessed superior strength compared to the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Period, they were heavily injured and unable to exert their full strength, making it impossible to repel these three experts.
The undead guards fell one after another, turning back into lifeless bones.
Yan Chusheng and the others exchanged glances before they retreated towards a large tunnel.
Lin Chen saw everything and was puzzled.
They chose to retreat?
Did they feel that they no longer had the strength to hold off the attack, or was there another scheme?
Eventually, the undead guards were all defeated.
The three old men of Tribulation realm had multiple injuries.
After all, it was no easy feat to destroy these powerful undead guards.
“That was awesome!”
“I haven’t felt this invigorated in a long time!”
“Where are those four?
I’m going to slaughter them!”
All the cultivators entered the underground world.
Seeing the undead guards scattered on the ground, they were overjoyed.
The guardians had fled, and the undead guards were wiped out.
The sacrificial altar was right in front of them!
The immortal’s arm was right in front of them!
They were finally about to uncover the core secret of the Valley of Death.
Lin Chen emerged from his hiding spot and started walking towards the group on the other side, ready to join them.
Suddenly, he paused, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Blood-colored mist!
Under the cover of the lava’s red firelight, this mist slithered like a snake, creeping silently from all directions towards the rejoicing cultivators.
