Chapter 8

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ling Feng looked into the cave not far away but did not go in. Instead, he stood at the entrance and observed.

The hole wasn’t very big, but it was surrounded by gravel.

“Common sense denotes that this kind of cave should be occupied by powerful monsters. Why don’t I let my clone go in and explore first?”

It was indeed possible. After all, the death of the clone would not cause any losses. If the monster was powerful, he could retreat safely.

If they were weak, he could follow up in time and kill them.

Then, the two clones walked in one after the other, extremely cautious.

Ling Feng hid in the distance, using the vision of his avatar to clearly see the landscape inside the cave.

This should be a mine cave because the stone walls of the cave were full of slash marks. From this, it could be seen that someone had once mined here, but the walls were covered with thick cobwebs.

It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

The two clones cautiously walked into the cave. The deeper they went, the wider the cave became.

Ling Feng significantly raised his guard.

He carefully observed the changes in his surroundings. Even if it was just a clone, since he had entered this cave, he had to obtain some information.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing squeak entered Ling Feng’s ears.

Because he had a premonition, the two clones quickly gathered together and went into a defensive state.

It stuck close to the stone wall.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump…

A series of violent footsteps could be heard, sometimes near and sometimes far. Hearing this sound, Ling Feng’s heart unconsciously tightened, his eyes staring into the distance.

The sound of the footsteps became clear!

Then, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared in Ling Feng’s line of sight, as if they had appeared out of thin air. Then, in the darkness, the monster’s figure also appeared.

However, when Ling Feng saw the monster’s appearance, he took a deep breath.

A white-gold skeleton, holding a huge battle uniform, and a monster with scarlet eyes appeared in front of him.

“Platinum Skeleton Warrior!”

Damn it, why would there be Platinum Skeleton Warriors here, much less one was comparable to a Tier 2 combatant!

Ling Feng knew that in the Undead Valley, the strongest was only at stage two. However, he didn’t expect to be so unlucky to encounter a Platinum Skeleton Warrior before he even entered the depths of the Undead Valley.

Fortunately, he had sent his clone to scout the way, or he would have died on the spot.

Even if Ling Feng was invincible among his peers, he was still no match for the Platinum Skeleton Warrior.

Escape!

Ling Feng’s mind only had this one thought.

After the clone received the order, it surprisingly did not carry it out. Instead, it was stunned for a moment, and its eyes were filled with the desire to fight. However, the next moment, it quickly ran out.

His desire to fight had also disappeared.

At the same time, Ling Feng also left the cave and ran out of the Undead Valley.

However, the Platinum Skeleton Warrior was not a pushover. It was about to be robbed, so it naturally would not hold back. It held its huge battle axe in one hand and slashed at No. 1.

At this moment, the system’s warning tone rang out.

“Do you want to spend 5 level points to investigate the enemy’s attributes?”

“Do it!”

Ling Feng was overjoyed.

The 5 points disappeared, and the Platinum Skeleton warrior’s attribute panel appeared in front of him.

[Combat strength: Beginner stage of Rank 2.]

[Skills: Energy slash, Whirlwind axe.]

[Note: Seriously injured, with less than 10% of his combat power left, it is recommended that the host kill him!!!]

Three exclamation marks in a row made Ling Feng’s heart skip a beat. In addition, this undead only had two skills and was heavily injured. Not to mention, his clone was already entangled with it.

It was impossible to exit safely, so it was better to fight with his back to the wall. The worst outcome would be losing two clones, right?

Ling Feng gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack.

After receiving the order, the clone’s desire to fight was once again revealed in his eyes. No. 1 quickly dodged the axe and retreated to the side of No. 2.

The clone naturally felt that the place was troublesome, so he did not use the sixth brother’s fighting style. Instead, he began to get serious.

Their coordination was extremely good. No. 2 held his bone knife and charged forward as if he wanted to attract attention so that No. 2 would have a chance to attack.

It looked like it was the same as before, but what happened next shocked Ling Feng.

The Platinum Skeleton Warrior gently raised its battle axe and blocked No. 2’s bone blade.

No. 2’s bone blade did not slash at the Platinum skeletal warrior. Instead, his suddenly glowed with a blue light, and a blue slash flew out from his palm.

It was so fast that the monster didn’t even have time to react before it was hit on its calf.

Crack.

Then, the monster’s calf bone cracked and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ling Feng was at a loss. No. 2’s attack was clearly an energy slash!

However, how did he learn this energy slash? as far as he knew, a B-rank talent clone could not inherit the original’s skills at all. Only when the talent evolved to A-rank could it be inherited.

Moreover, he would inherit one of the skills at random!

Because of this, the cloning talent was not used in combat. Although they had the advantage of numbers, they had always been used for reconnaissance.

However, Ling Feng’s doppelganger was actually able to learn a skill before reaching A-rank. This really shocked him to the core.

At this moment, No.2 launched another energy slash, once again hitting the monster’s lower leg.

There was another crack.

After losing its calf bone, the monster could no longer stand steadily. It fell to one knee with a plop.

Seeing this, No.1 didn’t hesitate. This was a rare opportunity. He gave up on any defense and held his bone blade tightly.

He glared at its neck.

There were even sparks from the collision.

The monster was not in a good state either. It roared loudly and even ignored its legs. It picked up the battle axe and began to swing it.

[Tornado slash!]

The whirlwind created by the battle-ax sucked No.1 toward it. In addition, he did not have any defensive actions at the moment, so he did not have time to dodge and was cut by the battle ax.

Without any warning, No.1 turned into specks of starlight and disappeared.

Seeing this, No.2 was also enraged. The monster had stopped its [Tornado slash] as if it was on cooldown. No.2 roared, and an energy slash appeared in his palm.

It flew towards the monster’s other leg, and with a crack, the monster’s other leg was also broken.

It immediately knelt on the ground, but at this time, an azure energy slash also appeared in the monster’s hand. Compared to Ling Feng’s, it could be said to be much purer.

No.2 didn’t have time to dodge and turned into specks of starlight before dissipating.

The Platinum Skeleton Warrior also took this opportunity to look for the leg bone on the ground, as if it wanted to reattach it.

At the same time, Ling Feng, who was outside the cave, revealed a sneer. A white light flashed, and the Ling Fengs, with cold expressions, appeared in front of him.

“Let’s take revenge.”

Then, the clone turned around and ran into the cave.

The monster was installing its leg and was confused when it saw the two humans it had just killed.

Because it was a 2nd rank undead, its intelligence was slightly higher than the average undead. It did not understand why the two people it had just killed would still appear in front of it alive.

However, the monster still stood up. Although its calf bone was not very suitable for the battle, it did not have to fight on its knees.

After the clone had experienced a battle, especially a life-and-death battle, its experience could be said to have multiplied. Even if the opponent was a Stage 2, it was still at ease.

After all, the monster’s calf bone was not suitable for walking, so it was a little clumsy. Speed was also one of its weaknesses.

The extreme pulling appeared again.

It fled, and he chased. It couldn’t escape even if it had wings.

He chased, and it fled, but it was helpless.

After being dragged for a while, the Platinum skeletal warrior was about to fall apart, and its calf bone had been shot down somewhere.

Even its head, which was carrying the Soul Fire, was shaking. Seeing this, the clone stopped pulling. An energy slash appeared in No.2’s palm and quickly flew toward his neck.

No.1 followed closely behind.

The two energy slashes hit the neck of the Platinum Skeleton Warrior, and it was unable to block them.

Thump.

The head fell to the ground, and the Soul Fire was shaking. The clone immediately walked forward and picked up the bone stick at the side. The head was smashed, and the Soul Fire also dissipated.

[You have successfully killed a Platinum Skeleton Warrior, level points +100.]

At this moment, a crystal that had fallen to the ground attracted Ling Feng’s attention. No.1 picked it up.

Unfortunately, it was another energy slash crystal, so he could only sell it for money.

Looking at the time, it was already past five in the evening. The sky was beginning to get dark, and he couldn’t stay in the wilderness for long. Thus, he called back his clones and prepared to return to the city!
