Everyone was stunned!
A mixture of stunned and bewildered eyes merged!
"The undead were created by this young man?"
"No way!"
But when everyone saw the undead guard beside the young man, identical to the one fighting the Ghost-Faced Tree!
Their faces froze!
It was really him!
He didn't look like a big boss at all!
This guy looked only about 18, his face a bit immature.
"Do you want to see this young man's level?"
The only young man in the team tried to probe, but was grabbed by the veteran nearby and shouted at.
"You're fucking crazy! You want to die, but we don't! They're still fighting, and your blatant probing is a sign of attack! If they're angry, they'll just attack, and you'll end up like those Ghost-Faced Trees!"
The young man's face paled as he watched the Ghost-Faced Tree being mercilessly harvested by the undead's scythe!
Everyone present gasped with shuddering eyes. One person was comparable to an entire mercenary group. Are today's children so talented?
In reality, Lin Ran's undead had already spotted this group, but he remained silent. If they were merely observing, he naturally wouldn't have taken action!
But if they were truly investigating, Lin Ran would have dispatched his undead to slaughter them without hesitation!
This was the wilderness, and the most dangerous creatures weren't often beasts, but people!
Lin Ran stretched himself. It was almost time to close in!
Now the undead had slain every single one of the surrounding ghost-faced trees, leaving only the Ghost-faced Tree King standing alone. He fought ten undead for nearly five minutes, still showing no signs of defeat.
Lin Ran had detected the Ghost-faced Tree King's attributes!
[Ghost-Faced Tree King (Elite, Level 8)]
[Strength: 75]
[Agility: 75]
[Spirit: 75]
[Constitution: 200]
[Skills: Thorns, Dead Tree Reborn]
Lin Ran was secretly surprised!
Although this creature's attack power wasn't particularly strong, its health was nearly 2000, a notch higher than that of the Undead. No wonder it could withstand seven or eight attacks from the Undead and still stand.
The Ghost-Faced Tree King was furious. All of its people had been killed. Its thigh-thick vines gradually sprouted thorns and barbs, lashing at the Undead's body.
The Undead, having finally succeeded in a sneak attack, was immediately flung away by the thick vines!
The thorns also had a puncture effect, damaging the undead by 10 health points per second for ten seconds. While not much, they couldn't withstand the stronger knockback effect. With this move, the undead's health was gradually reduced to nearly 800!
Gradually, the undead began to lose ground!
The Tree King's health was reduced to half!
The Tree King, with a hint of intelligence, seemed to understand the formidable power of the undead, and unleashed a skill at half health!
[Dead Tree Revives Spring]
[Absorb the Earth's Power, Restore 50% Health]
The Tree King's entire body erupted in green light, and its withered leaves revived with vibrant, emerald green.
Health was restored to its original state!
In this way, the undead, after half a day's depletion, was back to its starting point!
Lin Ran wasn't interested in playing any more, so he raised his hand and unleashed Whisper of the Undead!
Three layers of green weakening aura descended, increasing damage by +90%. After a stalemate of 4.5 seconds, all of the Tree King's vines fell to the ground!
At this moment, the undead were completely unstoppable, and ten of them simultaneously swung their scythes!
The Tree King's health rapidly dwindled!
The undead's attack power was already far superior to his. If it weren't for the Tree King's control, a single undead would have been enough to destroy him!
The undead's Strength reached 180, a terrifying power!
Dozens of undead simultaneously approached the Tree King without any resistance, even with 2000 health!
The Tree King trembled violently under the scythes, and before the stiffness even wore off, he was already dead!
Kill the Level 8 Ghost-Faced Tree King, gain 800 experience, obtain 1 Ghost-Faced Tree King Crystal Core, and obtain 2 Ghost Woods.
[Obtain a Warrior Soul, Energy +160 (100%)]

[Normal Undead Warrior (Level 7)]
[Strength: 200]

[Spirit: 200]
[Constitution: 200]
Lin Ran's experience has now reached 98%!
Lin Ran's eyes burned!
Almost leveling up! Undead Core breaks through Level 10!
A total of 176 Ghost Woods were obtained, worth over a thousand gold coins. The Ghost-Faced Tree King Crystal Core was also obtained, adding another eighteen thousand gold coins!
This haul is simply lucrative!
After obtaining what he wanted, he summoned the undead and departed in person.
The mercenaries who had watched from the side slowly let out the breath they had been suppressing.
"Is the battle over?"
"That speed? You're kidding! The Ghost-Faced Tree King is the toughest of creatures. We took turns attacking him for four or five hours, and he took it down in a few blows? How terrifying is this undead nature!"
"Just be happy you're alive! It's a good thing we didn't detect him just now, otherwise none of us combined would have been able to withstand a single blow from that undead!"
The others nodded with lingering fear and returned to the city.
Lin Ran headed straight for the center of Bermuda Forest, home to the Bermuda Forest's biggest boss, the Level 9 Elite Black Bear King!
There's even a platform teleport point in the center of Bermuda Forest!
The teleport point is 100 meters away from monster harassment, making it a great place to spend the night in the wild and a good supply station.
It's less than 500 meters from the Black Bear King's stronghold!
Because besides the Black Bear King, there's also a wild dungeon here: the level 8 Twisted Jungle!
Many people gain access to this dungeon after reaching level 8. It holds a wealth of experience, allowing them to quickly advance to level 10!
Reaching level 10 marks the beginning of a newbie's status, allowing them to access even more dungeons!
Lin Ran had just arrived when he noticed a steady stream of people pouring into the Black Bear King's territory!
"Hurry, hurry! Someone's attacking the Black Bear King!"
"The Black Bear King is the Big Boss of Bermuda Forest. Who's so bold!"
"Who else could it be? The Tianwang Guild, Tai'an's premier guild! I heard it's led by that wealthy guildmaster, Qin Tianze. He's paid a fortune to hire eight level 15, A-level professional helpers—all powerful figures!"
"What are you waiting for? Come and watch the excitement! This isn't something you'll see often!"
Hearing the excited shouts of the people around him, Lin Ran was drawn in and joined them in the Black Bear King's territory.
When Lin Ran arrived outside the Black Bear King's territory, he was startled by the dense crowd of figures surrounding him. At a glance, he saw at least a hundred people, all craning their heads to stare. In the territory ahead, eight young men were locked in a fierce battle with the Black Bear King, a figure the size of a small house, three or four meters tall.
Lin Ran took the opportunity to assess the Black Bear King's attributes.
[Black Bear King (Elite, Level 9)]
[Strength: 150]
[Agility: 130]
[Spirit: 130]
[Constitution: 500]
Lin Ran was shocked!
He had expected the Black Bear King to be tough, but he hadn't expected its health bar to be so high, a full 5,000. Even his own Undead would have taken over twenty hits just standing there!
The two sides had been battling for an unknown amount of time, and both were extremely exhausted!
The Black Bear King's body bore conspicuous scars, and his health bar had been reduced by half!
To have fought this hard, these eight men were clearly quite formidable.
Even with only half his health remaining, the Black Bear King's fighting prowess remained unaffected. Instead, he fought with increasing courage. With a single blow, a nearby boulder shattered, sending the knight, breathing heavily within, careening away!
The nurse continued to deliver damage, but was now clearly overloaded. The attached yellow ring gradually dimmed. The others, knowing the nurse was overwhelmed, sought opportunities to administer medicine themselves, but the others, likewise at their limits, were slow to react. The team began to be torn apart by the Black Bear King and fell on hard times!
Not far away, the distinguished, jade-faced young guild leader, Qin Tianze, scratched his head anxiously!
Lin Ran shook his head and left. It seemed the eight of them were balancing power, but the Bear King hadn't yet unleashed his abilities. If he found the opportunity, the balance would be instantly broken, and the men would be in imminent danger!
Furthermore, it was already dark, obstructing vision and affecting the release of skills. However, the Black Bear King wouldn't be affected, and in fact, his vision was clearer. Without the right timing, location, or people, he was likely to lose.
It seemed he couldn't defeat the Bear King today. He had no choice but to return to the city and sell the Wolf King Crystal Core and other materials!
Determined, Lin Ran left without further delay.
And less than five meters to the left of his previous position, a young man stared intently at his back!
Wang Fuyuan's pupils widened in shock.
"That's him!"
