Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

The method of expulsion is simple: just crush them with sheer force. Beat those who still dare to linger into oblivion, rendering them unable to think and leaving them no choice but to flee. This will achieve the goal of expulsion.

As for the conflicts that may break out during the expulsion process, resulting in casualties among human adventurers, it is inevitable. The skeletons will not concern themselves with this; it is normal attrition and not worth getting emotionally upset about.

Before leaving, Bell informed all the skeletons of the locations of the human adventurers. The God's-eye view of the Sea of ​​the Fallen was incredibly useful at this moment.

The elite team located in front of the royal tomb is the target of the Skeleton Clan's powerful warriors, as the most troublesome target among the adventurers currently remaining.

The elite team located in the royal tomb is currently waiting at the entrance opened up by the nun, preparing for their first exploration of the royal tomb.

At this moment, the elite team received their reinforcements: a friend of Amat's father, a level 37 arcane assassin.

Even the members of the elite squad, including the newly arrived arcane assassin, were unable to perceive the change in time.

Therefore,

Upon learning that Amat's father was the elusive mayor of Cangxing City, and with the arrival of this powerful secret assassin, the group was determined to continue exploring the royal tomb.

However, what these guys didn't know was that this arcane assassin had another mission: after obtaining the Fountain of Youth, to assist Amat in eliminating these elite adventurers.

Just as the elite team was ready to enter the royal tomb, the arcane assassin felt a sharp, piercing pain in his mind.

"Something's up! They're up to no good."

Not only him, but all the members of the elite squad could feel a powerful and dangerous aura approaching.

Led by the leader of the Skeleton Clan, a group of seven skeletons appeared in unison at the entrance of the royal tomb, displaying an attack posture.

"Damn it, weren't these damn things wiped out by us three hundred years ago?"

Upon seeing the skeleton leader wielding the crystal sword, the secret technique's pupils visibly contracted. He recalled the scene of dealing with these skeletons three hundred years ago, and the strength of the skeleton race.

Dealing with the skeletons was no easy task for him.

While some skeletons are easy to deal with and can be killed in one hit (like the weak level 25 Acorn), there are still a few skeletons that require teamwork to take down.

The Skeleton Clan leader was a tough nut to crack; his individual level was a full thirty-four.

Despite being lower in rank than this arcane assassin, the Skeleton Chieftain is extremely powerful in direct combat and has fewer weaknesses than flesh and blood creatures. Unless his head is blown off, the Skeleton Chieftain can continue to deal high damage even when he is severely wounded.

Three hundred years ago, when the secret assassins dealt with the leader of the skeleton race, they had to exert a great deal of effort to finally behead him.

Even so, they still couldn't kill the skeleton leader, and his head escaped.

If it were just a skeleton leader, the arcane assassin wouldn't feel much pressure, since he knew the skeleton leader's fighting style and had enough skills to outlast him with his level three advantage.

However, the Skeleton Clan leader was not alone; he had six powerful level 30 skeletons by his side.

Three hundred years ago, many skeletons saw the strength of these adventurers and chose to avoid battle, refusing to confront them.

The balance of power has shifted. The Skeleton Clan leader is as powerful as he was back then, and he is accompanied by six other powerful skeletons he has never seen before.

The arcane assassin no longer has his powerful teammates from back then; he is now only surrounded by a group of adventurers native to Azure Star City.

Within the Azure Star City region, they were indeed elite adventurers, but they were no match for this kind of battlefield.

"Pay attention to coordination and follow my instructions. These guys are coming for us. If we want to all get back alive, we can't afford any mistakes in coordination."

Under pressure from the skeletons, the arcane assassin seized control. If the elite squad didn't coordinate with him, their collapse would be incredibly rapid.

In the eyes of the secret assassins, these people's lives are meaningless, including Amat's death here.

Anyway, that old vampire has more than one child. He values ​​Amat, but he is not irreplaceable. He only has one life.

'Leave here'

！’

With a surge of will, the Skeleton Clan leader issued a final proclamation to the elite squad before him.

The intense pressure made his dark eyes seem to glow with divine light, putting immense pressure on the elite team members. Two of them were even drenched in cold sweat.

However, under the command of the secret assassin, the elite squad still managed to organize a counter-attack formation, showing no signs of slowing down their retreat.

Since they had decided to fight, the skeleton leader didn't hesitate. He pointed his sword, and death energy rose from the ground beneath the elite squad's feet. Dizziness and weakness began to afflict the elite squad's bodies.

Applying numerous negative status effects to the enemy before attacking can significantly increase your chances of winning.

The elite squad on the other side naturally knew this kind of common sense.

However, the negative status effects they unleashed were completely negated by the skeletons in front of them.

Many debilitating curses are based on flesh and blood, but since skeletons are just skeletons, these curses are completely ineffective.

As for mental curses and negative status effects, even elite squads of level 20-something are generally unable to restrain the level 30 skeleton monsters.

With a single step, the skeleton leader's body appeared in front of the elite squad as if by teleportation, and he slashed vertically down at the arcane assassin.

With the aid of death energy and magical power, the skeleton of the Skeleton Clan leader unleashed astonishing speed; the wind pressure generated by his movement was enough to cut the bodies of ordinary people.

Going a step further, the Skeleton Clan leader's movement speed will break the sound barrier, but reaching that point will be very difficult.

"Snapped!"

A straw doll was cleaved in two by the Skeleton Clan leader's sword light. This was the secret assassin's life-saving ability, [Substitute Puppet]. He was not without his experience dealing with incredibly fast opponents.

In that adventure group three hundred years ago, there was a monster whose movement speed broke the sound barrier. The arcane assassin accumulated a lot of experience fighting melee enemies when he sparred with him.

"Earth vein binding".

Using the [Substitute Puppet] technique, the assassin, who appeared in the distance, slammed his palms on the ground, and three energy chains shot out from the soil, instantly binding the skeleton leader tightly, preventing him from breaking free for the time being.

If, at this moment, a strong teammate were to step forward and attack the Skeleton Leader, even if they didn't manage to kill him, they could at least severely damage him and significantly reduce his combat strength.

Unfortunately, the current elite squad is full of mediocre players.

Forget about getting them to keep up with the attack; they'd be lucky if they weren't killed by the skeletons that broke into their formation.

As the skeleton leader charged, the six skeletons pressed forward in unison, keeping a close watch on the other elite adventurers.

They knew their leader would definitely restrain the enemy's strongmen. As long as they quickly dealt with those elite adventurers, they could form an encirclement with their leader and capture that secret assassin.

'They're a fucking bunch of useless trash.'

Cursing inwardly, the arcane assassin dared not pause for a moment. The skeleton leader had already broken free of the two chains binding the ley lines and was about to escape.

He could only unleash a Gravity Suppression and then constantly adjust his position to avoid being caught by the Skeleton Clan leader.

In the face of the critical situation, Amat's eyes flashed red, his muscles swelled wildly, and he directly activated [Full Power Stance], entering a life-or-death state.

Amat knew that only by joining forces with the arcane assassin to defeat the skeleton leader could the entire elite squad have a chance to survive.

Otherwise, without the restriction of the secret assassins, their elite squad would be easily defeated.

But just as Amat and the arcane assassin stopped the skeleton leader, Julianne, who had been holding off the level 30 skeletons' attacks, suddenly had a glint in her eyes. She had seized a perfect opportunity to carry out her planned scheme.

Break down and sell out!

Chapter 194 Regional Lockdown

With energy gathering in her fists, Julianne unleashed a powerful punch forward, temporarily blocking the attack of a skeleton wielding a dagger.

Using the recoil from the attack, she jumped back a step, giving herself space.

At the same time, a warrior beside him quickly followed and stood in front of the dagger-wielding skeleton. They used this method of taking turns to resist the skeletons' attack in order to make full use of their numerical advantage.

Julianne is a combat genius. Although she is only level 20, her actual combat strength is much stronger than that of ordinary adventurers in their 20s. She is considered a good member even in elite teams.

However, their combat power, which far surpasses that of their peers, is far from enough to contend with the Skeleton race, whose level is ten levels higher.

The elite squad's defensive line began to crumble after just one clash, and with their combat strength, they saw no hope of defeating the skeletons.

Having preserved some of her strength and keeping a close watch on everything, Julianne saw Amat reveal his true form and confront the Skeleton Clan leader head-on. The moment she did, she leaped back and chose to betray her teammate.

The golden eagle, which had been nowhere to be seen before, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Julianne's shoulder, and pulled her up to a great height, instantly appearing high in the sky.

"Selling out teammates, I'll f*** you..."

This situation caused the older brother, who had just blocked the attack for Julianne and was waiting for Julianne and him to take turns defending, to break down instantly.

Before he could finish cursing, a white bone dagger plunged into his chest, draining his life force.

In just two seconds, the man with a strong sense of resentment on his face became a dried-up corpse, and the elite squad's defensive line was instantly breached.

In the same instant, six skeletons killed six members of the elite squad.

The remaining elite squad members scattered instantly, fleeing in different directions. A few cunning individuals even unleashed skills at their teammates in the instant of their escape, trying to slow them down and make the slowest runner a scapegoat.

"There's no more fighting."

The arcane assassin was completely numb; the team's cohesion had dispelled his idea of ​​counterattacking the skeletons.

As Amat confronted the Skeleton Clan leader, the leader activated a skill, disappearing from behind Amat and narrowly escaping the encirclement of six skeletons.

He activated his ability to escape, and although he was still being chased by six skeletons, he could shake off the group of level 30 skeletons if Amat delayed the skeleton leader for a few more seconds.

Unfortunately, the Skeleton Clan leader didn't put much effort into Amat.

He broke free from the restrictive skills imposed on him by the Mystic Assassin, cleaved Amat in two with a single sword strike, and no longer cared about Amat's life or death. He immediately caught up with the Mystic Assassin's escape, relentlessly pursuing and attacking him.

The skeleton leader hadn't forgotten that they were carrying out a drive-away mission; once the adventurers here entered the escape phase, they could leave them alone.

The Skeleton Clan leader will not let go of the secret assassin before him.

He remembered that among the adventurers who invaded the royal tombs three hundred years ago was a secret assassin, and one of them who almost killed him.

Now that those powerful allies are gone, the Skeleton Clan leader...
