Quack quack quack......

Squeak!

The iron door of the ancient tomb, which had been sealed for thousands of years, was slowly pushed open from the outside, and the rusty door shaft shook up large clouds of dust.

In the midst of the haze and dust, the pioneer exterminators of the swarm swarmed in at the order of the mother worm, and rushed into the dark space inside the door without fear.

After the swarm entered, Xue Hua also followed them and slowly walked in.

He dragged Leorek's crown in his left hand and clutched the golden sword of the Kingkiller in his right hand.

"Skeletron! At your invitation, I have come to take your life! ”

Call! Call! Call! Call!

The sound of the wind sounded in the dark space, and the lights on the surrounding stone walls and ceilings were suddenly lit.

In the flickering firelight, the whole picture of this hall was displayed in front of Xue Hua.

It is a majestic and magnificent temple, and the walls around the hall are dotted with various colored gems like stars.

At the top of the main hall, several pure gold chandeliers emit a bright golden light, which is almost dazzling people's eyes.

In the southeast corner of the main hall, there is a pile of gold and silver jewels like a hill, and all kinds of armor weapons that have been immortalized for thousands of years are thrown on the mountain like garbage.

However, none of this could attract Xue Hua's attention.

His eyes were now looking straight at the other end of the hall.

There was a huge throne made of white stone, and on the side of this throne was an armored shelf made entirely of glass, on which hung a dark golden armor with a green glow.

Xue Hua recognized this armor at a glance, it was the true body of the armor "Scales of Tagao" in the "Incarnation of Tagao" set series!

On the scroll in Xue Hua's hand, the location of the scales of Tagio was indeed marked as being in Tristram.

However, the scroll does not specify the exact location of the armor.

Originally, Xue Hua was still preparing to find it in Tristram City after solving the troubles of Skeletron, but he didn't expect this armor to become Skeletron's collection.

Xue Hua squinted at the dark golden armor, then tilted his head back and focused his gaze on the figure on the throne.

Actually, it's a bit inaccurate to say that it's a "human figure", because it's just a skeleton wearing huge, bloated and luxurious armor!

"Skeletron!" Xue Hua slowly narrowed his eyes, and the long sword in his right hand unconsciously clenched a little more.

"You... After overcoming the obstacles I set, I finally came to me... It seems that your determination to die is very strong! ”

Hearing his voice, Skeletron slowly rose from his throne, its armor squeaking because it hadn't moved for a long time.

Skeletron grabbed his weapon, the large, multi-edged hammer, from the shelf beside him, and stepped down from the throne's platform.

Click, click, click!

The sound of metal boots tapping the floor was heavy and slow, like the sound of a grave keeper striking the death knell at midnight in the Port of Kings cemetery.

"I'm not here to fight you, Leoric!

The sins you have committed, the vows you have broken, are enough to explain your irreredeemable wickedness! ”

Xue Hua clenched the crown and long sword tightly, trying not to show nervousness in front of his opponent.

However, in fact, it is impossible not to be nervous, and the opponent in front of him is the first real super strong legend he has ever faced!

"I appreciate your courage, so I'll give you another chance.

Swear allegiance to me! Return your soul to the realm of the dead! I'll give you a chance to continue to exist in this world, how about it? ”

Skeletron held the war hammer on his shoulder, his tone was light-hearted and disdainful, and he didn't care about Xue Hua's rebuke at all.

"Loyal to you?" Xue Hua had a ridiculous expression on his face.

"And then? To die? ”

He shook his head.

"Stop dreaming! You skeletal shelf!

Your only value is that I broke it up and used it for stew!

Mother worms! Kill it!! ”

"Follow your orders!" The mothers hissed loudly, driving the swarm to attack Leoric.

Because this opponent is unusually powerful, the swarm came up with the strongest means as soon as it came up.

Rage feeding, anti-parasite, symbiotic parasite, mist, acid-etched spores, nano-swarm shields, hatched mutants, etc., all imaginable means have been used, and the exterminators in the front row have shiny carapaces and high fighting spirits.

However, in the face of the tsunami-like tide of insects rushing towards it, Skeletron only let out a heaven-shattering roar in disdain.

"Ants who don't know whether they are alive or dead!"

Rumble!!

Skeletron's large, multi-edged warhammer swept through the swarm's array, and a large swarm unit was crushed and smashed into a sky of meat sauce and blood.

But one of the big reasons why swarms are so powerful is that they never know what fear is.

Unless Xue Hua, who was the master, shouted to stop, even if it was a Sarnaga person standing in front of them, they would not hesitate to pounce on them.

In less than half a second, the gap swept by Skeletron was refilled by the swarm behind them, and they were not afraid of death, they rushed towards Leorik one after another.

"Death... Code! ”

The madness of the swarm finally gave Skeletron a hint of seriousness, and he raised his hammer aloft in the air, and with a burst of applause, a gray circle of light suddenly spread around him.

All swarm units that came within the aperture suddenly slowed down, and then the entire body began to age rapidly, with the carapace peeling off, the flesh and skin shrunk, and the bones becoming fragile and vulnerable.

Soon, the vitality in their bodies was no longer enough to support them to continue their progress, and a large number of insect swarms fell to the ground without warning, and quickly turned into nothingness.

However, when Skeletron saw that none of the Zerg units had left any corpses after death, he couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh".

Its original "Code of Death" was a powerful ability to kill lives and turn their bones for their own use, and the transformed bones would retain 100% of all the combat power and habits of the body, but the allegiance was replaced by it.

It had just seen the ferocious and extremely loyal side of the swarm, so it hoped to transform these creatures into its own army of the undead.

However, the swarm has long been on the long path of evolution to study a set of special genetic locks on how to prevent the corpses of their soldiers from being manipulated or researched by the enemy, after the death of the swarm units, most of them will directly explode into plasma all over the ground or directly decompose completely naturally in a few seconds, only a small number of swarm units will leave remains, but these remains can only be used for the swarm's fungus carpet to be recycled into organic matter for reuse.

Therefore, Skeletron's attempt to play the game of "giving back to the other" on the swarm will definitely not work.

However, although it is impossible to manipulate the corpses of Zerg units to fight for it, Skeletron's original power is indeed too terrifying.

The swarm could not even rush within a hundred meters of it, and it would be drained of life by its "Code of Death" and died.

Watching the Skeletron carrying the war hammer and walking towards him step by step like no one under the siege of the insect army, Xue Hua couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache.

It's a little too powerful.

However, I'm not a soft persimmon to pinch......
