Chapter Thirteen: Kill One to Warn Ten

  Guo Fei's words reminded everyone, Jin Datong was taken aback, and then realized the problem. He had been fighting here for nearly three years, how could he not know the strength of the Skull Soldiers? It was just that his excitement had gotten the better of him, and his enthusiasm had blinded his eyes.

  He rubbed his head and chuckled: "Old Ten's reminder is right, these skeleton soldiers are not soft-boiled eggs. If they fight to the death, it's really dangerous."

  The dark cave entrance was bottomless, pitch black without a single ray of light. Even Guo Fei could only see a few meters ahead, relying on his intuition, he knew that there were many skulls hidden inside.

  "Boss, I have a first-class 'Fireball Symbol' here, it might be useful!" The second brother hesitantly spoke up.

  "Second brother, what's taking you so long? Hurry up and bring out such good things." Jin Datong exclaimed as soon as he heard.

  "Hehe. Boss, this is something I spent 20 soul crystals on, originally planning to use it to save my life at a critical moment. After getting the soul crystal, you'd better compensate me!" Lao Er stared at Jin Da Tong with shining eyes.

  Several people heard this and suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in their hearts, but they all knew that the Fireball Token was indeed precious, especially when dealing with Skull Soldiers, its effect was remarkable.

  "Second brother, when can you change this 'small-minded' attitude of yours? Brothers and I have a balance in our hearts. You contribute more, do we owe you? When brothers are together, what matters is fate and affection!" Jin Datong's face turned red with anger, his voice low and stern.

  The old man lowered his head and carefully pulled out a piece of animal hide from the cloth bag in his pocket.

  Guo Fei had never seen the "Fireball Symbol", so he walked over to take a look. Among the ten people, most of them hadn't seen it before either, and they all gathered around to take a look. Jin Datong was guarding the entrance of the cave with a fierce gaze.

  This is a beast skin, on which strange runes are painted with blood. When you get close, a hot air rushes towards your face, as if it contains magic power.

  Lao Er walked to the entrance of the cave with a hint of regret, closed his eyes, crumpled up the animal hide into a ball, and threw it out in an instant. The animal hide let out a whistling sound as it rushed into the cave entrance.

  "Boom!" Old Two let out a low growl, and the beast skin emitted a red glow, bursting out a basketball-sized fireball. The fireball rolled and charged into the cave, illuminating everything inside brightly. At the same time, several skull soldiers guarding the entrance retreated in disarray. Jin Datong leapt forward, ducking his head to enter the cave, and everyone else followed close behind.

  Guo Fei quickly drew out the Xuan Tie sword, withdrew the curved knife's shadow from his body, and infused the sword's shadow into himself. Suddenly, a surge of hot energy flowed into his body, greatly increasing his strength. The Xuan Tie sword in his hand emitted a shrill whistle as he charged towards the nearby Skull Soldier.

  The space inside the cave was extremely large, hiding a considerable number of skull soldiers. Ten people formed an offensive and defensive formation, immediately launching a fierce battle, killing the skull soldiers at the entrance of the cave and standing firm at the entrance.

  These skeletons seemed to have no will to resist, after killing four or five of them, the rest retreated quickly and gathered behind a stone wall at the back of the cave. The second eldest lit up a fire stick and took a look, there were actually two or three hundred of them, everyone gasped in shock.

  At this time, they saw no way out and raised the bone knives in their hands. The dim red light in their eyes gradually emitted a glow.

  "Big brother, the skull's spirit fire has reignited, this is their prelude to a desperate fight. With so many of them, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it!" The second elder said in a low voice.

  "You guys figure it out. A cooked duck can't just fly away for nothing!"

  "Boss, let's kill one to warn ten!" Guo Fei said in a low voice after a moment of contemplation.

  "What does it mean?" Jin Datong asked somewhat puzzled.

  "Clear the road, let some of them go, these skulls will think they have a chance to live, and the rest will definitely not have the heart to resist, only fleeing for their lives. This cave entrance is so small, they are crowded together, and can't get out that many at once. We can easily slaughter them from behind." Guo Fei thought to himself.

  "Haha. Old Ten is clever, better than me. My mother often says that one mouthful can't eat a fat man, it's probably this principle. Haha. Move aside and let them escape for now." Jin Datong said with a smile.

  Ten people changed formation, flashed to one side, and the three skulls closest to the cave entrance quickly scurried out. The skulls behind looked at each other and swarmed forward in a rush, suddenly blocking the small entrance. The more they wanted to rush out, the slower they went. The skull at the very front suddenly fell over, blocking the door.

  "What on earth could have formed these skulls, and what kind of intelligence did they possess?" Guo Fei couldn't help but ponder.

  Ten people rushed up quickly and launched a fierce battle against the skull soldiers. Guo Fei's Xuan Tie sword was like a black lightning bolt, chopping off the skulls' heads in the dark cave at an incredible speed, leaving Jin Da Tong and others stunned.

  Guo Fei was full of energy, and a surge of upgraded power supported him. In half an hour, excluding the skulls that escaped, Guo Fei and his team hunted down 120 skulls. With ten people's combat strength, they were able to hunt down so many skulls without getting injured, which was a huge harvest.

  Through actual combat testing, Guo Fei felt that the swordsmanship he learned from Wen Shu was indeed profound. It's just like drinking tea, the first sip is clear and bitter, but the more you savor it, the more flavor it has.

  At first, Guo Fei understood that the essence of this sword technique was "speed". As he fought on, Guo Fei gradually discovered that this sword technique had a hidden reserve. It seemed that when the sword technique was unleashed, it didn't reach its full killing potential, just like autumn wind blowing away leaves. On the surface, it looked like the wind was blowing the leaves down, but in reality, the cold air was secretly hiding within the wind, absorbing the life force of the leaves, only then making them fall with the wind.

  This set of swordsmanship has only ten moves, as for its development space, Guo Fei can only feel it vaguely, but he can't grasp the door for the time being. It seems that the hot flow in his body is the key to development. However, without anyone's guidance, he can't figure it out.

  Guo Fei made up his mind that next time he saw Wen Shu, he would definitely ask him and clear up the doubts in his heart.

  "Wen Shu was no ordinary person, and when he was captured that day, the little skull soldier couldn't hurt him. Why did he go undercover as a slave soldier?" Guo Fei couldn't figure it out in his heart.

  "Haha, 240 soul crystals, what a huge harvest! Haha. Old Tenth should take the first credit, and Old Ninth has taken it well." Jin Datong burst out laughing, interrupting Guo Fei's train of thought.

  "Hmm!" Lao Er involuntarily let out a cold hum, as if he was somewhat uncomfortable.

  "Haha. Of course, the second brother consumed a fireball token and made great contributions." Jin Datong glanced at the second brother with a smile.

  The ten of them cleaned up the spoils of war and didn't leave immediately. After a day of rushing about and killing for so long, they were both thirsty and hungry. In the mountain cave, it was safe and warm, so the ten of them sat down and opened their grain bags and water bags to eat something.

  "The chill is too heavy, brothers warm up and continue to pursue the skull. Today's luck is not bad, there will definitely be a big harvest behind." Jin Datong took out a bag of strong liquor, each person passed it around and took a sip.

  The wine in this world, Guo Fei has drunk several times, is far worse than that on Earth. Before junior high school, Guo Fei never drank and was a good student; after his parents divorced, his life changed dramatically, and he came into contact with wine, although not addicted, but also quite liked it, got drunk many times.

  Every time he raises his wine glass, he thinks of the bright moon in his hometown. With a sip of light wine and a thought of longing, Guo Fei becomes lost in thought, and to this day, he often has the illusion that when he opens his eyes, he will find himself on the campus of Shida.

  "Let's go!" Jin Datong adjusted his equipment, waved to the people behind him, and everyone stood up. Jin Datong walked ahead, but turned back to see Guo Fei still gazing up at the top of the cave in thought, so he went back to pull Guo Fei along.
