The magical beasts were unique to the land of Cage. Liu Ye had never seen them before. However, from the memories of Ke Er Jin, he knew that the Magical Beast was not something simple. Of course, it was even more difficult to provoke.

Just like humans had different levels of power, magical beasts had different levels of power. Furthermore, the same level of power didn't mean that humans had the same level of strength as magical beasts.

Generally speaking, a human with the strength of the third step, regardless of whether he was a mage or a warrior, when facing a magical beast of the third step alone, running was his only option.

However, even if they were to run, it was unknown if they would be able to escape. Only with a group of a dozen or so people, and with good training, would they be able to kill a single Class 3 Magical Beast.

Moreover, this was just an ordinary Class 3 Magical Beast. If it were a special magical beast, even intermediate mages and warriors of the fifth step or higher wouldn't dare to provoke it.

But now, this ferocious beast that suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ye and Lisa, with only its head exposed in the light of the fire and most of its body still hidden in the darkness, was indeed a kind of special and terrifying creature — Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast, and also a Rank 4 Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast.

"Damn it, how could it be this kind of thing?"

In Liu Ye's mind, information suddenly appeared. The name of this Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast showed its main characteristics. His body was clad in iron armor, making him invulnerable to swords and spears. He was already in an invincible position, but Liu Ye could already imagine that in the dark, there were still poisonous arrows on its body, ready to pierce its target's body into a sieve at any time.

At the same time, Liu Ye thought of the reason why this magical beast would appear here. According to Colkin's memories, the Venomous Arrow Iron Armor Beast had a ruthless personality. In the place where it lived, it would definitely not allow any other life forms to exist. The Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast also had another habit, which was that its nest was built near a special type of black boulder.

A territory that lives alone? Along the way, Liu Ye and Lisa really didn't see a single living thing. A special black boulder? How could Liu Ye not understand? No matter how he looked at it, the place he chose was a campsite for the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast …

"Roar ~ ~

Without giving it much time to think, the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast let out an explosive roar. The anger contained within it was something that even Liu Ye, who had never seen a magical beast before, could clearly feel.

"Run!"

At this moment, it was not as if he had not thought of facing the enemy head on. After receiving the inheritance of magic from Archmage Colkin, Liu Ye's magic power wasn't at the fourth rank as predicted by Ya Fei, but had just surpassed the fifth rank, reaching the level of an intermediate mage.

However, even intermediate level mages didn't have the strength to single-handedly fight against a fourth step Poison Arrow Armored Beast. What's more, Liu Ye was a super rookie who could not even proficiently recite magic incantations.

If he couldn't beat them, he could only run. Liu Ye carried the little loli, who was still in a daze, and jumped over the fire. Then, he swung his legs and dashed behind the huge rock.

Perhaps the inheritance had also brought about a change in the mind, but Liu Ye was now exceptionally clear-headed. He hoped that this fire would be able to slightly hinder the Poison Arrow Armor Beast's footsteps. As long as it had a little fear, it would be able to buy some time for him and Lisa.

Sure enough, Liu Ye had made the right bet. Even the magical beasts were unable to transcend the nature of wild beasts, and were naturally resistant to fire. The Poison Arrow Armored Beast's roar sounded out a trace of fear towards the flames, showing its hesitation in its actions.

This pause gave Liu Ye time to run more than 100 meters away in an instant. At this speed, if he could get to the original place, it would be enough to break all of the world records. However, at this moment, Liu Ye did not have the time to think about all this nonsense. He could only hope that he could shake off the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast and run out of this damned Forest of Kings in one go.

But fantasy was just fantasy. The Venomous Armored Beasts were truly worthy of their reputation as ferocious beasts. Their ferocity had far surpassed Liu Ye's imagination. Just when Liu Ye and Lisa were running at a speed that exceeded the limit of an ordinary person, he felt a horrible stench approaching rapidly behind him.

This speed was far faster than his running speed. Flee? There was almost no hope.

However, Liu Ye's footsteps did not stop. He could not help but turn around and take a glance. However, he was surprised to find that there was no trace of the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast behind him. However, what he couldn't see was Liu Ye's newly born mental energy clearly and accurately telling him that the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast was right behind him and was quickly chasing after him.

"Not good — it's underground!"

Almost at the same time that Liu Ye cried out in surprise, the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast's terrifying aura crashed into Liu Ye's body. Liu Ye almost lost his balance as a fierce gust of wind hit him.

"Ah!

Liu Ye yelled, suddenly turned around and jumped to the left. The moment Liu Ye jumped away with Lisa in his arms, the ground they were originally standing on suddenly exploded and a black shadow rushed out from the explosion.

At the same time, there was a flash of light as if a thunderbolt had struck through the darkness.

Claws! It was the sharp claws of the Venomous Armored Beasts, another weapon that killed in addition to the teeth and venomous arrows, slashing out a flash in the darkness.

Liu Ye felt every hair on his head stand up. If he hadn't dodged subconsciously, Lisa, who was in his arms, would have been torn to shreds by the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast's sudden attack.

"Weak curse!"

Under the pressure, Liu Ye's incantation suddenly became nimble. As he waved his finger, the primary Ancestral Curse from Necromancy landed on the Venomous Arrow Armored Beast's body.

If he was just an ordinary person, this weak curse would be enough to make him not even have the strength to stand up and be slaughtered by others. But now, Liu Ye saw the dark purple light of the Weakness Curse shoot out from the Poison Armor Beast's body and disappear.

However, the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast's speed was not affected in the slightest. After roaring furiously, it pounced again. Its sharp claws were already hanging on the top of Liu Ye's head.

The Weakness Curse... was ineffective!

"Bastard, try this again!"

"Curse of tiredness!"

"Sickness Curse!"

"Curse of numbness …"

Liu Ye ran for his life while throwing low level curse spells that he could think of and use at the same time towards the Poison Armored Armor Beast.

The tiredness was ineffective, the disease was ineffective. However, after throwing out the paralyzing curse, Liu Ye suddenly realized that the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast's body paused for a moment.

All of a sudden, it gave Liu Ye the chance to escape in a very short period of time, which made him even more ecstatic.

"There's hope!" "Watch me curse you to death …"

The Paralysis Curse, although it is also a preliminary Necromancy Curse, it is already at the fourth step of magic, and is also the highest level of Ancestral Curse Liu Ye can use. Now that the numbing curse had worked, Liu Ye wouldn't be stingy anymore. He acted like he didn't need any money as he continuously shot them out before running away. Then, he once again cast the numbing curse and ran away …

However, the Paralysis Curse was not a fatal magic, just like the Soaring Wind Technique he had used before. It could only be used as an auxiliary method outside of attack. To kill the Venomous Armored Beasts with just the curse of numbness alone was simply wishful thinking.

Liu Ye knew this, but he was only talking about it. In his heart, he knew that it was impossible to defeat a magical beast by relying on the Curse of Paralysis. The only thing he needed to do was to rely on it to buy him some time so that he could bring Lisa away from the Poison Arrow Armored Beast's territory as soon as possible.

As time passed, the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast became angrier and angrier, and it even gradually adapted to the effects of the numbing curse. As time passed, Liu Ye had found a new opportunity according to the plan in his mind.

"Alright, now is the time."

At this moment, the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast had already pulled away from Liu Ye and the others. Although it was still quickly closing in, it was still enough for Liu Ye to recite a spell he had prepared long ago but never had the chance to use.

A series of low and deep magic incantations came out of Liu Ye's mouth. And in front of him, a strange light, which was even more extreme than darkness, was rapidly condensing where he was pointing with his hand.

Until the last spell was completed, Liu Ye's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he shouted word by word, "Summoning Technique — — Skeleton!"

Summoning Skeleton Fighters was the signature ability of necromancers. The most special thing about it was that it was a magic that could naturally advance. An elementary necromancer. His summoning technique was also an elementary one. As for an intermediate necromancer like Liu Ye, his summoning magic had naturally become an intermediate level spell.

The biggest difference was the Skeleton Warriors he had summoned. The stronger the necromancer, the more powerful the Skeleton Warrior would be.

The moment the Curse of Paralysis took effect, Liu Ye was already prepared to summon his Skeleton Warrior. With his current strength, only by summoning his Skeleton Fighters would he be able to block the Poison Arrow Armor Beast and give him and Lisa a chance to escape.

Lisa, who had been gently put down by Liu Ye, stared fixedly at the dark light ball in front of Liu Ye. Liu Ye himself was also nervously watching and praying on the inside.

This was the first time he had used a summoning technique. Even though he had secretly practiced it several times when he was running for his life, he still didn't have the confidence to succeed. But he had no choice but to give it a try.

"Buzz ~ ~ ~"

Right at this moment, the black ball of light suddenly collapsed, but a strange energy spread out in all directions like a sound wave.

"Done!" "Done!"

Although he hadn't seen the Skeleton Fighter yet, Liu Ye suddenly let out a cry of ecstasy. This was because he suddenly felt a strange connection between his will and himself.

This feeling was similar to when he used his mental connection with the little loli previously, but it was even more intimate. It was as if the other party was one with Liu Yifan, just a part of him.

This strange feeling also caused Liu Ye to be stunned for a moment. He didn't even notice that the Poison Armored Armor Beast that was charging over, suddenly stopped when it was hit by the sonic wave's energy.

Soon after, the black dots that had already collapsed suddenly swelled. It was clearly just for an instant, but the sound of raging thunder and cracking could be heard, as though it had already resounded through the ages.

The black light … had shattered.

"This is?"

Liu Ye was stunned. The little loli Lisa was stunned. Even the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast that was charging over also stopped roaring. Suddenly, it quieted down.

In front of the two humans and one beast, the black light was broken apart and a human-shaped skeleton walked out. But this was the Forest of Kings, where the sun never shone! This was still the dark night, and the Forest of Kings was nowhere to be seen!

The guy summoned by Liu Ye was standing there in a conspicuous manner, because his body was emitting a layer of bright light, causing the surrounding darkness to be pushed back completely. In the light, the skeleton warrior could clearly see the missing finger bone in his hand...

"This …"

Liu Ye was very surprised. Before the opponent came out, the group of black light was even darker than the darkness, but after coming out, it was dazzling and even brighter than the light. The darkness was understandable. Even if the other party had a body full of pitch-black bones, Liu Ye would still be able to accept it. But what was this light?

There were no exceptions to the world of elements. Light and darkness could not exist together. The undeads were originally a branch of dark magic. Liu Ye had the strength of an intermediate necromancer, and theoretically, he could use almost all of his attributes except for the light element. On the contrary, an intermediate light mage could also use almost all of his attributes, with the exception of the darkness element.

This was an iron law in the world of magic. Originally, no one could defy it. However, the skeleton summoned by Liu Ye was clearly a high quality ungodly creature that emitted light? Even though Liu Ye had three hundred years of memories, he still couldn't find any clues.

However, iron law was iron law, after all, it was something from here. For an outsider like Liu Ye, it was not enough to scare him off. Moreover, he didn't have the time or time to think about these things right now.

"Go!" Beat it to death! "

Liu Ye gave the order directly, and without any hesitation, the skeleton warrior rushed towards the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast. As for Liu Ye, he didn't even look at her. He directly picked up Lisa and prepared to escape.

As for the outcome of the battle between the skeleton soldiers and the Poison Arrow Steel Armor Beast? What a joke! Liu Ye did not even dare to think about it. He did not believe that the skeletons he summoned would be able to kill the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast.

And once the Skeleton Fighters were smashed to pieces, then everything would be over. Thus, it was the most important thing to seize the moment and flee for their lives. As for the Skeleton Fighters, he just needed to pray that they could resist for a little longer …

However, just as Liu Ye carried Lisa and was about to run away, his face suddenly changed!

"How could this be? My strength?"

Liu Ye's mind buzzed. Only now did he suddenly realize that not only were his legs unable to move anymore, even the spiritual force in his head was only left with a sliver. It was almost completely empty.

"Summoning Technique!" It was the summoning technique from before! That silver light! "

Liu Ye realized that the summoning technique had drained almost all of his mental energy. Especially at the moment when the Skeleton Fighter walked out of the darkness, his spiritual energy, along with a small silver light that was almost imperceptible, all rushed into the Skeleton Fighter's body! As for him, due to his nervousness back then, he did not notice it immediately.

But how was this possible?

Summoning magic was not a profound magic. The spiritual energy used was slightly more than the Curse Technique, but it should be limited. How could he drain away his spiritual force, and for someone without spiritual force — Where did this power come from …

"It's over!"

Liu Ye's mind instantly became a mess. He thought back to when he fell from Dubai Tower, that feeling was almost the same as now — death. Falling to death or being bitten to death by a magical beast? Liu Ye had no way to compare because he didn't fall to his death, but now that he had been bitten to death by a magical beast, it was already a foregone conclusion …

The only difference from before was that at that time, Liu Ye was the only one left, and now, there was another person by his side, the little loli, Lisa. Even if he died, he would die. Such a cute little girl had escaped from Colkin's clutches, but she had died in the mouth of a magical beast. That would be too cruel.

He would never allow such a thing to happen!

Liu Ye pulled Lisa behind him and shouted, "Run, run as far as you can, I will control the skeleton soldiers to stop this beast …"

Liu Ye's words came out loud, but he didn't have any confidence. Could a skeleton warrior stop the Poison Armored Beast? Liu Ye did not hold out any hope at all. He only hoped that after getting rid of the Skeleton Warrior, the beast would be attracted by his piece of "fresh meat", and Lisa would be able to escape far away.

"Ah!

However, just as Liu Ye was about to give Lisa a push, he heard Lisa cry out in surprise. Lisa's eyes were clearly not looking at Liu Ye himself, but towards the Skeleton Warrior. Her eyes were full of surprise, and there was a clear surprise in it.

Following Lisa's gaze, Liu Ye looked at her skeptically for the first time. And with this glance, Liu Ye suspected that he was hallucinating.

At this moment, the Skeleton Fighter had already collided with the Poison Arrow Iron Armor Beast. He didn't have a weapon. He only had bones clenching together into a fist, and his fist was aimed straight at the Venomous Armored Armor Beast's sharp blade-like claws.

However, after the boom and the tremor, Liu Ye's imagination about the skeleton warrior turning to bone dust did not come true. On the contrary, it was the Skeleton Fighter that was visibly smaller in size.

And the Venomous Armored Beast was actually sent flying by the skeleton warrior's punch!

"Crack ~ ~ Boom ~ ~ ~"

The Venomous Arrow Iron Armor Beast's body rolled in the air. Under the illumination of the light, the venomous arrows on its body dimmed down. He forcefully broke a tree that had a diameter of several meters, then fell heavily onto the ground.

Dust, dead branches, fallen leaves, enveloped him in an instant like an explosion …
