Chapter 244 - 1641 still have 10 such skeletons_4
The undisguised killing intent made the old man kneel on the spot.
“Don’t kill me, Mr. Caleb, don’t kill me. I had no idea that kid’s skeleton is so powerful!
I thought it was just a Fifth-turn skeleton. Your side should be able to capture it without issue, but I didn’t expect it to be stronger than Victor…”
“Pfft!”
The old man was very articulate, and his words only served to rekindle the wrath that had already subsided within Caleb. The Wolf Tooth Club in Caleb’s hand came swinging down with force.
Luckily Caleb was still in his right mind; he didn’t strike the old man, but slammed the club right next to him. Had he landed that blow on the elderly man, the latter wouldn’t have survived.
To Caleb, the old man must live; he’s still of use!
Despite the fact that the club didn’t kill the old man, the shockwave it issued made all his bones rattle. The old man was left dizzy, with half his body numb and his face paler than ever.
Once Caleb was done with this act, he grabbed the old man in a swift move. “Where’s the kid? Why is there only this one skeleton?”
“That kid is very cautious; despite my persuasions, he just wouldn’t risk coming here himself. However, rest assured, his real power only ranks at Third-turn. The formidable one is this skeleton.
If you can take down this skeleton, the kid will be no threat at all!
You can easily defeat him, and his wealth will be all yours. Just the last time, on a sale of a few thousand gold coin’s worth template, he casually paid 50 purple gold coins. He must have at least a thousand purple gold coins on him…”
“Even a hundred gold coins would mean I am at loss here!”
Caleb angrily grinded his teeth.
After all, he had lost a Six-turn general of perfect quality in the altercation.
The truth was, his original target had never been Dean McKenzie, but the Giant Serpent Tribe all along.
He took action against Dean McKenzie only because this old man, in a bid to save his life, had spilled the beans to Caleb.
Hearing about a Third-turn necromancer carrying a large amount of purple gold coins, Caleb thought of him as a walking wallet.
He needed money for the trade fair of the Giant Bear Tribe next time, and such an opportunity to acquire it presented itself—the decision to act was easy.
But little did he know, before he even met the kid, one of his trusted Six-turn subordinates would die – which greatly saddened Caleb.
“You better pray that he has plenty of purple gold coins, otherwise I will make sure you meet your leader!”
With that, Caleb casually tossed the old man on the ground.
The old man climbed up, sparing a careful grin, “Please wait a moment, I will surely lure that kid here for you this time!”
(“No need, this skeleton is already dead, that guy is probably on his guard already. He won’t come out for sure, and he might even run away. We should just go straight to the Giant Serpent Tribe!”
The moment Caleb’s words hit the elderly man’s ears, his face changed.
“You intend to attack the Giant Serpent Tribe?
No, absolutely not!
That’s my tribe, and the place that nurtured me!”
“Does a person like you who sold their own leader for fear of death and survival still care about all this?”
“No!”
The old man flushed, “I mean, you will be in a lot of trouble if you do something to the Giant Serpent Tribe and the Giant Bear Tribe finds out!” “Don’t worry, that’s why I kept you alive!
When we are done, you can always report to the Giant Bear Tribe that it was the work of the passing Alliance bandits!
Let’s go!
That skeleton has already been killed. If we don’t move fast, that Alliance kid might run away, and I will then skin you…
Before Caleb could finish his sentence, Dean McKenzie’s voice rang out, “Don’t worry, I won’t run away—I will even kindly offer you my head.
As for skinning this old man, I suggest you start now!”
Caleb tilted his head and looked up.
The next second, Dean’s silhouette descended from the sky.
Seeing Dean land, Caleb narrowed his eyes.
“You dared to come, which suggests that your power is not as simple as this old man puts it.
Wait, I sense another force on you, seems like you have more than one skeleton of that type!
No wonder you dared to come!
However, do you really think you can withstand me with just a few skeletons like that?
I must say, you are truly naive!”
A grin spread across Dean’s face, “Who told you that I have only a few of that type of skeletons?”
As he spoke, Dean casually snapped his fingers.
The Gate of Bone opened behind him.
Old Two, Old Four, Old Six, Old Seven, and Old Nine, along with seven newly summoned Skeleton Giant warriors emerged.
At the same time, the surrounding woods erupted with the sound of clattering bones.
Hundreds of Skeleton Knights emerged, forming a perfect enclosure around them.
Seeing this scene, Caleb, who originally held the winning ticket, his face sank instantly…
