Only when powerful enemies appeared would they engage in battle, to minimize their own army's losses. Li ng had lost track of how long he had been fighting; he only felt a slight soreness in his hands, which no longer had the strength they did at the start of the battle.
"Ti to retreat!"
Feeling overwheld, Li ng turned and sprinted towards the cave entrance. With a running start, he leaped into the air, his massive body soaring a hundred ters high. He crossed over a hundred ters and landed with a thud at the cave entrance. As soon as he touched down, Li ng quickly darted into the cave.
At the mont he entered the cave, he turned and waved his hand, summoning a white ice mist. With a "crack," a thick ice wall rose up, blocking the entrance. After doing all this, Li ng plopped down onto the ground.
"Boss, are you okay?" Seeing the boss sitting on the ground panting heavily, Benben approached.
Li ng waved his hand and took a deep breath, "I'm fine, just a bit tired!"
At this mont, the undead creatures outside charged at the cave entrance, a green wave crashing against the ice wall. The undead attacked the ice wall with all sorts of weapons in a frenzy, and the cave echoed with the sound of "thud, thud."
"Benben, is there another exit in the cave?"
Benben turned to look at the cave ogres behind him, and one of them quickly stepped forward.
"Boss's boss, there are no other exits in the cave."
Hearing this, Li ng understood that Benben and the cave ogres were trapped here.
Li ng turned and glared at Benben beside him, "Benben, what did I tell you?"
Benben scratched his bald helt, "Boss, they're my little brothers, I... I have to protect them!"
"You ventured deep into the Ogre Mountains just for them?" Li ng glanced around at the cave ogres in the cave.
Cave ogres are a subspecies of ogres, not as large as ogres, but their average height is not less than three ters, and they are far more nurous than ogres. Just at the cave entrance, there were no fewer than a hundred cave ogres.
Benben shook his head, "Boss, there's a big guy in the Ogre Mountains, really despicable. I wanted to fight it, but it had its minions gang up on . I couldn't beat it, so I ran, and that's when I t these little brothers."
A big guy in the Ogre Mountains? If Benben calls it a big guy, it must be sothing special, indicating that it's an ogre larger than Benben.
"Benben, is that big guy an ogre?"
Benben nodded and then shook his head, "It's kind of weird. Although it's an ogre, its aura is really disgusting!"
An ogre with a disgusting aura? Li ng's expression turned thoughtful, his face showing contemplation. It seems there's a force led by an ogre in the Ogre Mountains, which refused Benben's challenge. This suggests that the ogre is quite special and intelligent.
"Boss, there was a ti when you also had that aura on you."
Benben's words made Li ng's face freeze, "Benben, are you sure?"
Benben nodded, "Yes, during the battle with humans, you had that aura, but it was faint and disappeared quickly."
A battle with humans? Li ng frowned slightly, pondering. The battle with humans should have been the last encounter with the Elysium public pioneering legion. Did he do sothing before the ambush? Could it be... Ghost Hand?
Li ng recalled the ghost beastman "Ghost Hand." Before heading to the ambush site, he had fought with Ghost Hand, so having its aura on him was normal.
"So, does that ogre have sothing to do with the demon tribe?"
The aura Benben ntioned should be the "Demon King Contract." Both Ghost Hand and Agatha indeed had a very ominous aura.
"The demon tribe is truly not to be underestimated!" Li ng grinned fiercely, standing up.
It seems Benben was a step too late; the demon tribe had long set their sights on the powerful combat abilities of ogres and cave ogres, having subdued them in the Ogre Mountains many years ago.
"No worries, Benben, next ti I'll help you settle the score!"
Since that guy refused Benben's challenge, he could handle it however he wanted.
Benben quickly nodded, "Boss, make sure to give it a good beating next ti; it's really despicable!"
"Alright, I'll make it beg for rcy..."
Before he could finish, Li ng's expression changed, his gaze snapping to the outside.
"Ha ha ha, you finally showed yourself!" Li ng's figure flickered, laughing heartily as he charged towards the ice wall, his massive body crashing into it like a raging bull.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous roar, the thick ice wall shattered, sending shards of ice sweeping across a large swath of undead creatures outside the cave.
As Li ng burst out of the cave entrance, a massive bone spear ca whistling from afar. The enormous bone spear was nearly thirty ters long, with a diater of no less than twenty centiters. Its target was the ice wall at the entrance. Li ng grinned fiercely, wielding his Big Iron Rod to smash the bone spear.
"Boom!"
At the mont the Big Iron Rod made contact with the bone spear, there was a loud explosion, and a visible shockwave erupted. The massive bone spear shattered, its fragnts sweeping across the area like bullets, shattering a large number of skeletons.
Focusing his gaze, Li ng looked towards the direction from which the bone spear had flown, sensing a powerful aura there.
"Found you!" Amidst the sea of bones, Li ng spotted his target.
It was a figure clad in a Black Robe. It blended into the sea of bones, making it difficult to spot unless it cast a spell.
Its body was large, standing about three ters tall. The massive figure in the Black Robe floated half a ter above the ground.
Logically, such a large figure should have been conspicuous in the sea of bones, as the undead creatures weren't particularly large. Yet, throughout the long battle, it had remained undetected.
"Ha ha, capture the leader first!"
Li ng laughed wildly, his massive form bursting forward. With a running start, he leaped into the sky, his huge green-skinned body soaring. In mid-air, Li ng pointed his Big Iron Rod in that direction, releasing a cloud of ice mist from his body, which quickly condensed into a massive ice spike above him. The fifty-ter-long ice spike shot out, arcing down towards the Black Robe in the sea of bones.
Facing the incoming ice spike, the Undead Archmage moved. It extended a pale bone hand from the Black Robe. The ground trembled, and a massive bone wall rose from the earth.
The bone wall, like an overturned bowl, encased the Undead Archmage within. The ice spike from the sky ca whistling down, crashing into the bone wall.
