Deeper inside, several burly Centaur Champions were vigilantly surveying their surroundings.

They wore heavy Iron Armor, donned Wolf Fang Helmets, and wielded Longswords or Big Hammers.

These champions were the bravest and most elite warriors in the tribe.

Although they appeared somewhat weary, perhaps because the prolonged journey and recent battles had drained a great deal of their stamina.

But even in such circumstances, they remained alert, frequently scanning the environment to guard against any possible threats.

At the very center of the group, an elder Centaur Priest sat calmly.

It wore the same loose, oversized gray robe and held a mysterious Magic Staff, silently praying.

This priest was the spiritual leader of the centaur squad.

After discerning the enemy's class composition, Fang Zhou had Pearl Bird Gugu quietly retreat the way they came.

According to his speculation, the numerous Centaur Warriors were, at most, ordinary demons at the Middle-Rank Apprentice level, and could mostly be ignored.

The five Centaur Champions, however, were definitely Upper-Rank Apprentices, their strength on par with Horned Demons of the same level.

As for the Centaur Priest, it was likely an elite-template Caster and would certainly be more challenging to deal with.

After completing his reconnaissance, Fang Zhou began contemplating the tactics for this battle.

Fang Zhou could currently summon as many as fifty Skeletons, so he wasn't worried about the enemy's numbers.

As long as the Centaur Priest could be dealt with, this battle could definitely be won.

At this moment, Fang Zhou had no intention of retreating. Instead, he was thinking about how to quickly annihilate all the enemies and convert them into points.

Looking at the neatly arranged Skeletons under his command, Fang Zhou waved his hand and led them toward the centaur squad.

On the way, he transmitted his thoughts through their spiritual link. The fifty Undead immediately split into two long columns, spreading out to encircle the enemy from both sides.

As the distance gradually closed, the nearby centaur squad finally noticed the commotion.

The Centaur Priest seated at the center suddenly opened its eyes. Together with the Centaur Champions, who had turned to stand guard, it looked in Fang Zhou's direction.

"Enemies!"

"Alert!"

"Protect the Priest!"

Amid a burst of fierce shouts, all the Centaur Warriors swiftly rose to their feet. Gripping their weapons tightly, they joined the Centaur Champions in forming a protective circle around the Priest.

"Priest, it's the Undead!" one Centaur Warrior shouted, its voice clearly tense.

"No, it's an Undead Mage!" another champion corrected, its tone filled with caution.

The Centaur Priest's expression grew solemn, Spiritual Power surging around its body. It had already spotted Fang Zhou behind the horde of Undead.

To think I'd encounter such a rare being!

Facing an encounter of this scale, Fang Zhou knew a solo surprise attack would not yield significant results.

Therefore, he did not choose to hide but directly revealed himself along with his numerous Skeletons.

As the distance between them continued to close, Fang Zhou and the Centaur Priest began chanting their Spells at almost the exact same moment!

"Totem Pillar!"

The Centaur Priest's voice reverberated through the forest.

As its spell concluded, a beam of light shot up from the ground, forming a totem that radiated a warm glow. It provided healing and buffs to the centaur squad.

"Death Ripple!" Fang Zhou's voice followed closely.

As his spell concluded, a sphere of undead energy shot straight toward the centaur squad. It exploded in mid-air, unleashing the descending Death Ripple.

Instantly, a flurry of damage numbers appeared over the centaurs.

But their wounds were quickly mended by the Totem Pillar's healing effect.

An elite Caster, just as I thought!

Fang Zhou's heart tightened as he saw the feedback from the battlefield.

He watched the Centaur Warriors clashing with his Skeletons. Although they dealt some damage, they recovered almost instantly due to the Totem Pillar's healing.

As an elite Caster, the Centaur Priest provided a massive boost to the entire centaur squad.

To capture the bandits, first capture their king.

With that principle in mind, Fang Zhou immediately commanded, "Skeleton Shackles! Skeleton Flying Spear!"

Fang Zhou directly sent a Skeleton Double Strike at the Centaur Priest.

The Centaur Priest failed to break free from the Skeleton Shackles, instead releasing an earthy yellow Shield that barely managed to slow the Skeleton Flying Spear's attack.

Subsequently, under its howling command, three Centaur Warriors charged fearlessly forward, using their bodies to firmly block the Skeleton Flying Spear.

Nevertheless, due to the Skeleton Flying Spear's explosion, the Centaur Priest still felt a bone-deep agony.

It let out an angry howl, causing the Centaur Champions at the front to turn around in fright, thinking the Priest had met with some disaster.

The Skeleton Flying Spear went on cooldown, but Fang Zhou didn't stop his assault, quickly using an area-of-effect Attack Skill to fill the gap.

"Death Ripple!" Fang Zhou's voice echoed through the forest.

A mass of gray-black energy slowly began to swirl within his Undead Magic Ball, causing the surrounding air to suddenly turn frigid.

Meanwhile, streams of gray-black mist materialized out of thin air above the centaur squad, and a visible frost began to rapidly condense.

Then, an inconspicuous gray-black pillar of light erupted. A chilling wave of energy rushed downward toward the centaur squad at astonishing speed, engulfing them all!

The centaurs struck by the Death Ripple emitted ear-piercing screams.

Their bodies felt as if they'd been submerged in a glacial lake, overwhelmed by the frigid current. Their skin was instantly slashed open, and their blood rapidly coagulated under the erosion of Death Qi.
