The Skeleton Soldiers!

After who knows how long...

Kacha!

Kacha!

In the inner layer of the boneyard, a group of light yet orderly footsteps could be heard.

On this land that was filled with desolation and deathly stillness, a group of skeletons was moving forward.

There were more than a dozen of these skeletons.

The skeleton at the front was Zhuang. He was 1.8 meters tall and had a strange-shaped broadsword that was nearly two meters long. He gripped it tightly as it pointed diagonally at the ground.

Behind him, there were more than ten slightly slender skeletons. Some of them were holding two-handed broadswords, some were holding swords and shields, and some were holding hand axes.

But there was no exception—all their weapons were made of bones, and they were pale in color.

From the moment Bruce subdued the first skeleton soldier, he had been staying in the inner layer of the boneyard for three days.

Bruce had become a force to be reckoned with.

During these three days, Bruce killed a large number of skeletons to further increase his level and attributes. Whenever he encountered skeleton soldiers, he would surround them and cripple them.

Then, he would enslave and subdue them!

With the first skeleton soldier, it was much easier to subdue the second one. With the second skeleton soldier, it was even easier to subdue the third one.

This was a virtuous cycle.

As time passed, the number of skeleton soldiers under Bruce's command increased. His strength also became stronger.

In the end, every time he found a skeleton soldier, he would not even need to make a move.

After three days of accumulation, the number of skeleton soldiers under his command had reached more than ten!

More than ten skeleton soldiers spread out. The scene was terrifying.

All the skeletons within their hunting range, whether they were ordinary skeletons or skeleton soldiers with basic class templates, had all become their hunting targets!

Countless skeletons were torn apart, turning into experience points that poured into these skeleton soldiers and Bruce's experience bar.

Many skeleton soldiers were crippled and some were enslaved, becoming members of Bruce's demon. Some were killed, turning into Bruce's experience points and attribute points.

Three days later, not only did the number of skeleton soldiers under Bruce reach more than a dozen, even his own strength had increased by several times!

At that moment, Bruce's four-dimensional attributes were more than double the average level of the 15 skeleton soldiers under his command!

More than a dozen skeleton soldiers, in addition to his own strength that far exceeded that of the skeleton soldiers, had long been able to sweep through the entire inner layer of the boneyard.

After subduing two more skeleton soldiers and increasing the number of his underlings to 16, Bruce led this newly formed Skeleton Army and headed towards the central area of the boneyard.

The central area of the boneyard was the largest area of the entire boneyard, and it was also the place with the densest aura of death.

The outer and inner layers of the boneyard added together might not even reach a corner of the central area.

This was also the most dangerous place in the boneyard!

The skeleton soul fires on the outer layer were dull and had no intelligence at all. The skeleton soldiers on the inner layer took the initiative to hunt and increase their strength. When their strength reached a certain level, they would enter the central region.

All the skeletons—or rather, all the undead—would fight!

They sought experience points to increase their levels, as well as job advancement information. They intended to upgrade their jobs from basic jobs to advanced jobs, elite jobs, and even warrior jobs.

Even on the top floor of the boneyard, the high-level undead with lord classes were still fighting against each other. They were doing their best, only hoping to improve further.

Outside, inside, and in the center—the three areas formed a perfect closed loop.

In the players' perception, this was just a huge leveling spot. The sea of skeletons and all kinds of undead were enough to support them through the early stages of their gaming careers.

In Bruce's world, this was a huge killing field!

As one of the cruelest races in the second world, Bruce, who was a skeleton, did not have the right to choose freely.

He could have been like the lifeless skeletons in the outer and inner layers, passively receiving the nourishment of the aura of death and becoming a lifeless, robotic soldier. He could have been harvested by other skeletons or skeleton soldiers.

But he chose to be something else. He chose to be like the high-tier undead in the depths of the boneyard countless years ago, continuously leveling up, continuously evolving, and finally rising up, becoming the monster lord that ruled a region!

That was what the players called the 'boss."

Other than that, there was no other path to take.

Bruce did not want to die.

He did not want to become a mere robotic soldier that could be harvested by others.

The only thing he could do was to increase his strength as soon as possible and strengthen his influence until he could break through the entire boneyard!

The seventeen skeleton soldiers advanced together and stepped into the central area of the boneyard.

The dense aura of death pervaded the air, making Bruce feel that he was becoming stronger by the minute.

The dense aura of death naturally gave birth to even more powerful skeleton soldiers.

In the central area of the boneyard, skeletons below Level 15 were extremely rare. Even if such skeletons barged into this area, they would be killed in a very short period of time, becoming nutrients for other skeletons to grow.

Only skeleton soldiers who were at least Level 15 were qualified to survive in that area.

The central area was very large.

The distribution of skeleton soldiers was relatively sparse.

After entering the central area for half an hour, Bruce finally met the first skeleton soldier in this area.

'A Level-17 skeleton soldier!' Bruce thought.

A Level-17 skeleton soldier was more powerful than any of his underlings.

Only by personally making a move could he kill it unscathed.

However, why did he want to be unscathed?

"Let's go, skeleton soldiers."

When he saw that skeleton soldier, Bruce thought of only one thing.

As a response, a total of 16 skeleton soldiers swarmed out from his side, charging towards the Level-17 skeleton soldier!
