Chapter 2155 - : Uncle Nine Did Not Lie To Me Indeed!

The longsword made of silver gleamed under the moonlight.

Mag stood with his sword as he looked down at the skeleton soldiers that were climbing up the cliff rapidly.

Irina looked at Mag, who had a serious expression, and rolled her eyes. "With your capability, you would cut down these fellows like vegetables even if you are using a wooden sword. The results won't have any reference value."

"That is indeed a problem." Mag nodded. He put away the silver swords and took out two crossbows.

These two crossbows were the standard crossbows from the Roth Empire's army. Basic spell formation enhancements were engraved on them.

Mag held a crossbow in each hand. One had a silver arrowhead while the other had an ordinary arrowhead.

Mag searched for his targets in the skeletal crowd and soon found two skeleton men of similar size. They were obviously of the same race and weren't very powerful.

"Record the test image for me, please." Mag told Irina before pressing on the triggers.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Two arrows shot out and made two lines in the air before hitting those two skeleton men at the same time.

The silver arrowhead was crushed as soon as it landed on the skeleton man's head and the arrow shaft broke into pieces. That skeleton man simply swayed a little before continuing on his climb again as though nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, the other arrow with its custom-made arrowhead, embedded in the skeleton man's head. Even though it didn't go through, it still brought the skeleton man down the cliff and shattered him into pieces.

Irina waved the photostone in her hands and laughingly said, "That seems like an awful modification."

"Seems like pure silver won't do." Mag nodded before picking up an arrow with a peach wood arrowhead.

"A wooden arrowhead?" Irina said with surprise.

Elves were natural born archers. Almost every elf was an outstanding archer. Her knowledge on bow and arrows was way above Mag's.

The silver arrowhead couldn't cause any damage to the skeleton man, so wouldn't it be a little reckless to use the peach wood arrowhead right now?

"This isn't a normal wood arrowhead. This is the peach wood arrowhead." Mag aimed the crossbow at one skeleton man and pressed on the trigger.

The peach wood arrow flew out and landed against that skeleton man's glabella accurately.

Surprisingly, that seemingly fragile wooden arrow gave out a golden glow when the tip of the arrowhead touched that skeleton man.

The red light in the skeleton man's eyes flickered once before a hole was created in the glabella and the wooden arrow stabbed into the skull.

As if the skeleton was being lit up, it quickly turned into golden flames and it fell down as it burned. It had already turned to ashes before it could touch the ground.

"This…" Irina watched this scene with shock.

The skull that the standard arrow couldn't pierce through, was penetrated by a wooden arrow. Moreover, a mysterious light appeared and turned the skeleton man into ashes.

"Uncle Nine1 did not lie to me indeed!"

Mag's eyes also lit up. He didn't expect the wooden arrowhead to have such an amazing effect either.

"Let's see how the peach wood arrow deals with the more powerful ones." Mag took another peach wood arrow, aimed it at a higher level skeleton man with a 7th-tier power and pressed the trigger.

The peach wood arrow hit that skeleton man's glabella and the golden light appeared again. At the same time, a dark red scale also appeared on the skeleton man's glabella and canceled out that golden light.

The peach wood arrowhead was soon diminished and the arrow shaft exploded, leaving a black mark on the skeleton man's glabella.

"Maybe it doesn't work from 7th-tier upwards." Mag pondered. He quickly aimed the crossbow at a 6th-tier skeleton man.

The peach wood arrow pierced through the 6th-tier skeleton man, but it didn't turn into ashes like the low-level skeleton man. However, after three shots to the head, it could kill a 6th-tier skeleton man.

"Is the peach wood arrow enhanced with a spell formation?" Irina couldn't help but ask.

The arrows that could only penetrate a 3rd-tier skeleton man but couldn't kill it, could actually kill a 6th-tier skeleton man after the peach wood arrowheads were used. This was indeed quite incredible.

"No, it's just a normal peach wood arrowhead." Mag shook his head with a smile. He picked up another peach wood arrowhead, took out half a canister of cinnabar powder and poured in half a canister of water, dipped the arrowhead in the mixture, before aiming at that earlier 7th-tier skeleton man.

"Boom!"

The peach wood arrow dipped in the cinnabar hit that skeleton man and made a loud bang.

The previously unshakeable skeleton man had its skull removed by this arrow right away and his body was shattered into pieces of bones.

"This…"

Irina's eyes widened and she was in shock.

"Peach wood with cinnabar1 is just so powerful!" Mag couldn't help cheering inwardly. This was a weapon of mass destruction that could take out the other party's mid-level fighting force.

He had never expected that these things could have such amazing effects on the Norland Continent across time and space.

Mag did a few more tests. Peach wood with cinnabar would explode when they touched the skeletons. They damaged the skeleton men below 7th-tier devastatingly.

However, their damage to the 8th-tier and above skeleton men was limited.

The 8th-tier skeleton man was silvery white with mysterious dark red runes that moved around the bones. Peach wood and cinnabar was no longer enough to deal with them.

Meanwhile, the normal standard swords' lethality also increased significantly after cinnabar was applied to the blade.

As for the peach wood swords, its lethality was even stronger than the peach wood arrows, but it was obviously impractical to produce the peach wood swords in bulk within a short period of time.

Then, Mag attempted to throw glutinous rice1 at the skeleton soldiers.

The low-level skeleton soldiers were obviously afraid of the glutinous rice, but those skeleton soldiers above the 7th-tier could ignore it.

Mag put away the remaining half a bag of glutinous rice and said to Irina, "Alright, let's take 100 of them with us and exterminate the rest before Cthulhu arrives."

"Alright." Irina nodded and took out her magic caster's staff.

Mag also took out his Tian Du sword.

The Holy Light lit up the ravine and the flying sword cut off the skulls.

The two of them worked together with Ah Zi and went in and out of the ravine seven times. They soon killed a big batch of skeleton soldiers.

Mag looked at the last batch of skeleton soldiers that disintegrated in the Holy Light and lamented. If it wasn't for the fact that there were simply too few light magic casters, he wouldn't have to use Uncle Nine's unique skills.

However, they soon detected a very powerful aura flying rapidly towards them.

"Let's go!"

Mag hugged Irina around her waist and landed on Ah Zi's back. A golden teleportation portal appeared on the peak of a mountain at the side and Ah Zi dashed into it and disappeared.

A brief moment later, a gigantic figure appeared above the ravine and let out a shrill angry roar when it saw more than half of its skeleton soldiers slaughtered.

***

Mag, Irina and Ah Zi appeared 80 km away. The griffin took off into the air rapidly and flew towards the south.

"Where did you learn all these weird methods from?" Irina looked at Mag curiously, as if this was the first day she had truly seen him.

In her memory, he had always believed in his sword and never depended on other objects.

However, Mag had used a series of weird items and they were surprisingly effective on the skeleton soldiers.

Mag replied with a smile, "I have read a book of tittle-tattle that recorded some methods to deal with the zombies and dead souls. I thought it was all nonsense in the past. However, I only knew that they were really effective after I tried them out today."
