"Set out for Skeleton Mountain!"
At the command of the chief, over seven hundred people, including two-thirds of the high-ranking warriors and five hundred mid-ranking warriors, set off across the land. They moved at a speed of several dozen feet per step, like phantoms, quickly disappearing at the end of the winding road through the hills and forests.
Skeleton Mountain was over five hundred miles away from the Yi tribe, a perilous peak where the Dark Skeleton Corps was based.
The Yi tribe's group traveled swiftly across the land, resting only twice for a short while. In less than half an hour, they had already reached the vicinity of Skeleton Mountain.
"This time, everyone must not rush in. If you can kill with archery, do not engage in close combat."
Yi Ke instructed the warriors. Although they aimed to completely destroy the Dark Skeleton Corps, they also needed to avoid unnecessary losses.
At the same time, Yi Ke looked at Yi Tian's Cycle Team, wanting to give them some advice but unsure what to say. Currently, Yi Tian, the captain of the Cycle Team, was more powerful than he was. Each of the five team members had reached the peak of the eighth rank, and their dantian spaces had been trembling recently, showing signs of breaking into the ninth rank. In terms of cultivation, he, the chief, had been caught up by them, except for his rich combat experience.
His son, Yi Hong, was also a member of the Cycle Team, which made him feel fortunate about the chief's suggestion at the time.
The only thing that slightly bothered him was that his son's strength was about to surpass his, which was somewhat annoying.
"Attack!"
As they approached Skeleton Mountain, they found the defenses to be extremely tight, leaving no room for a sneak attack. Therefore, he decisively ordered everyone to act.
In the next moment, arrows whizzed through the air, instantly piercing the throats, chests, and heads of the Dark Skeleton Corps members stationed in the forward watchtowers.
Immediately, dozens of Dark Skeleton Corps members guarding the foot of the mountain were killed on the spot.
"Someone is attacking!"
In a not-so-obvious corner, a figure shouted, and a flare shot into the sky, exploding into a brilliant firework.
Pfft!
The moment that figure reported, an arrow pierced through his head.
"Charge!"
Hundreds of tribal warriors rushed toward Skeleton Mountain like phantoms.
Yi Tian's Cycle Team was the first to charge, firing arrows that killed members of the Dark Skeleton Corps. Even the steep cliffs were no obstacle to Yi Tian and his team, who ascended as if walking on flat ground.
At the same time, the other high-ranking warriors of the tribe advanced swiftly, undeterred by the steep and dangerous terrain of Skeleton Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, over two hundred people had reached the mountain's mid-slope.
On this mid-slope, many buildings had been constructed. Dark Skeleton Corps members, hearing the commotion, rushed out to attack Yi Tian and his team. The high-ranking warriors of the Yi tribe displayed terrifying archery skills, and within a range of several dozen feet, not a single member of the Dark Skeleton Corps survived, all of them being shot dead, with blood flowing like a river.
However, Yi Tian and his team did not stop, continuing to charge toward the summit, leaving the ordinary members of the Dark Skeleton Corps to the other five hundred tribal warriors advancing step by step behind them.
The high-ranking warriors charged up the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
Yi Tian's Cycle Team was the first to reach the summit. At this point, the summit had already gathered over two hundred members of the Dark Skeleton Corps, each emitting a dense aura of malice, clearly having the blood of countless people on their hands. Their aura was very strong, and each of them was at least at the high-ranking warrior level.
"Kill!"
In the next moment, the vicious high-ranking members of the Dark Skeleton Corps launched attacks on Yi Tian and his team. Sword auras, blade lights, and axe shadows instantly cut through the air, heading toward Yi Tian and his team, with a killing intent that permeated the entire sky and earth.
The attacks of these hundreds of high-ranking warriors were overwhelming, capable of instantly killing even a ninth-rank warrior.
The summit was not very large, only a few hundred feet in area. Yi Tian and his team, having just reached the summit, were not far from the attackers, facing a highly dangerous situation.
"Dodge!"
Yi Tian shouted, and the six members of the Cycle Team instantly rushed to the distance, their figures blurring, moving so fast that they were almost impossible to catch.
At the same time, they deflected the attacks they could not avoid, quickly neutralizing the assault of the hundreds of warriors.
Yi Tian's Golden麟Sword disappeared, and the Dragon Cry Bow appeared in his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
While moving at high speed, he fired terrifying arrows, killing high-ranking members of the Dark Skeleton Corps, with no arrow missing its target.
Yi Feng, Yi Shan, Yi Li, Yi Kuang, and Yi Hong also joined the fight, their attacks taking the lives of more members of the Dark Skeleton Corps, with only a few arrows being deflected.
One by one, members of the Dark Skeleton Corps were shot dead, but they showed no fear, instead becoming even more vicious, charging toward Yi Tian, Yi Feng, and the others.
At this moment, Chief Yi Ke and over two hundred high-ranking tribal warriors also charged up the mountain.
Their appearance immediately brought a catastrophic disaster to the hundreds of high-ranking members of the Dark Skeleton Corps, resulting in a large number of deaths.
In just a few dozen breaths, the hundreds of elite and high-ranking members of the Dark Skeleton Corps were completely wiped out.
This was the terror of the divine archers, virtually invincible among their peers.
"Where are the other two gods of the Four Gods, the Blood God and the Ghost God?"
Yi Ke was somewhat puzzled.
The most terrifying aspect of the Dark Skeleton Corps was the Four Gods: Blood God, Ghost God, Death God, and Giant God.
The Death God and Giant God had already been killed during the attack on the Yi tribe. Now, the only ones that the Dark Skeleton Corps feared were the Blood God and Ghost God, whose true forms were unknown.
It was known that among the Four Gods of the Dark Skeleton Corps, the Death God and Giant God were well-known to various forces, but no one had ever seen the true faces of the Blood God and Ghost God. Their strength and cultivation methods were completely unknown.
Yi Ke had thought that encountering the Blood God and Ghost God would lead to a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, they did not show up.
Yi Tian also felt a chill at this.
Yi Tian did not underestimate the Blood God and Ghost God of the Dark Skeleton Corps. From his battles with the Death God and Giant God, he knew that their strength was very powerful, comparable to that of peak ninth-rank experts, making them formidable figures below the human rank.
The Blood God and Ghost God, who were on par with the Death God and Giant God, would not be simple.
"Come out!"
Yi Tian's eyes focused on the most magnificent building on the summit. In that instant, he had sensed two auras flashing past inside the building.
Since he had gained the Star Mud clone, his consciousness had become increasingly sharp and resilient, with extremely strong perception.
All the tribal warriors present, including Yi Ke, looked toward the building.
Bang!
The door suddenly burst open.
A man dressed entirely in blood-red and a person wearing a metal mask with a ghostly appearance walked out.
Immediately, the tribal warriors drew their bows and aimed their arrows at the two figures.
"Are you the ones who killed the Death God and Giant God?"
The Blood God's blood-red eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness and disdain.
"Hehehe, today is your day of death."
The Ghost God did not take the hundreds of high-ranking tribal warriors seriously, appearing confident.
"Kill them!"
Although Yi Ke felt something was amiss, he did not think much about it. He believed that no one below the human rank could survive under the arrows of their over two hundred high-ranking tribal warriors.
