Chapter 46

"Things are much worse than I imagined! The strength of those damned undead is actually much greater than they showed. It seems they didn't use their full strength when they attacked us before. But no matter what, we must achieve our goal now, or the losses from this operation will be huge. Well, let's go to the target location and see what's there first! I hope there really is what I need." After muttering to himself, Zhou Tian recalled the route to the target location and then stepped forward toward the place he wanted to reach...

On the way, Zhou Tian encountered numerous attacks from undead monsters. However, with nearly a hundred half-orc warriors accompanying him and his own formidable strength, he naturally did not encounter any danger under those circumstances.

Fighting and advancing all the way, Zhou Tian didn't know how many undead monsters his half-orc warriors had killed. Anyway, after nearly an hour of continuous advancement, Zhou Tian finally arrived at his destination, the connection point between the second level of the Skeleton Cave and the lair of the undead boss.

Since Zhou Tian wanted to drive away those undead monsters, he naturally couldn't use ordinary means to fight. After all, no one knew the strength of the undead monsters' clan. If their strength and numbers were both greater than Zhou Tian's, and they refused to let go of the territory of the second level of the Skeleton Cave, then it would not be easy for Zhou Tian to reclaim this territory.

Therefore, given the situation, Zhou Tian's only choice was to cut off the retreat of those undead monsters. If the connection between the Skeleton Cave and the outside world was severed, no matter how powerful the undead monsters in the Skeleton Cave were, they would not be able to hold out for long without reinforcements. In that case, it would be much easier for Zhou Tian to win.

To cut off the reinforcements of those undead monsters, the simplest method would be to reseal the passage they came through. Zhou Tian believed that if the seal that had previously kept the undead monsters at bay for a long time were reactivated, it might not completely prevent the undead monsters from entering the Skeleton Cave, but it could certainly buy him some time.

However...

"Damn it!" Zhou Tian had already been mentally prepared for this. After all, sealing artifacts were not ordinary items. As rare treasures, even monsters would not let them go if they encountered them. Clearly, unlike the place where the skeletons needed to be sealed, the undead monsters not only wanted to obtain that treasure but also to prevent the possibility of being sealed back in their lair. When Zhou Tian arrived at the original sealing location, the sealing artifacts that had been destroyed were already long gone.

Although he felt frustrated, Zhou Tian was also aware that since those items had already fallen into the hands of the enemy, he shouldn't think about getting them back. After all, he was not facing a weak opponent. In terms of strength, the undead monsters were at least as strong as him, if not stronger. He had to use all his efforts just to drive them out of his territory, so it was clear that he didn't have the ability to take anything from them.

Since he knew that it was impossible, Zhou Tian naturally wouldn't waste time thinking about it.

The loss of the sealing artifacts was certainly a bad thing for Zhou Tian, but since he had anticipated that such a situation might occur, he wouldn't change his current plan even without those artifacts. After all, compared to the several-meter-wide passage from the first to the second level of the Skeleton Cave, the small hole at the sealing site, which was just over a meter wide, would be much easier to defend.

Without any hesitation, after reaching the destination and finding that the items were gone, Zhou Tian only paused for a few seconds before waving his hand and immediately leading his half-orc warriors to that place.

No matter what, as long as he blocked that sealing site, the undead monsters would no longer be able to send their forces into the Skeleton Cave. In that case, when his half-orc warriors fought against them, each one they defeated would be one less. It might take some time, but Zhou Tian would be able to eliminate all the undead monsters in the Skeleton Cave without any problem.

Of course, Zhou Tian's current actions were not without drawbacks. If he acted that way, it would certainly provoke a counterattack from the undead monsters. In that case, whether it was the members in the lair of the undead monsters or the undead monsters in the Skeleton Cave, they would all launch attacks on Zhou Tian and his group. Facing such a situation of being attacked from both sides, no one could avoid feeling pressured. Not to mention, compared to the strength of the enemy, Zhou Tian and his half-orc warriors were still at a disadvantage.

However, given the situation, although Zhou Tian knew how dangerous his current actions were, he still had to do it. As a result, under Zhou Tian's leadership, the half-orc team unhesitatingly charged toward the sealing entrance.

When the undead monsters saw Zhou Tian and his group, they naturally moved forward to meet them. However, because the half-orc warriors accompanying Zhou Tian were much stronger than the ordinary undead monsters, and with the enhancement abilities and resurrection skills of Zhou Tian's equipment, the scattered resistance of the undead monsters was not very effective. Zhou Tian quite easily reached the target location.

"Quickly, block those undead! Don't let them step into the Skeleton Cave again!"

After successfully occupying the entrance to the cave where the undead monsters entered the Skeleton Cave, Zhou Tian waved his hand and commanded his half-orc warriors to desperately resist the counterattack of the undead monsters.

Originally, Zhou Tian thought that although the undead monsters were not very intelligent, they should clearly understand what his actions meant. In that case, there was no reason for the undead monsters not to fight him to the death after he occupied that passage.

However, in reality, after Zhou Tian really led his half-orc warriors to occupy that location, for some unknown reason, he was surprised to find that the undead monsters had no intention of counterattacking. Although they did not remain completely inactive, the intensity of their attacks was much weaker than Zhou Tian had expected.
