Locating the Fierce Raven leader, Fang Zhou no longer conserved his Spiritual Power and unleashed another fierce [Skeleton Arrow Rain]!

Accompanied by heartrending wails, over a dozen Fierce Ravens were struck down.

Unfortunately, the Fierce Raven leader continued to fly swiftly among the flock, narrowly escaping this [Skeleton Arrow Rain].

It seemed to realize it had been targeted by Fang Zhou and cautiously stayed within the protective swarm. For the moment, Fang Zhou could not find an opportunity to decapitate it.

Meanwhile, the foremost Fierce Ravens had already engaged in combat with the Skeletons.

Confronted with the incoming attack, the Skeletons formed a solid defensive line of bone, standing back-to-back. They did not dodge at all, allowing the Fierce Ravens' sharp talons and beaks to scratch bone fragments from their bodies. They were willing to trade injuries for kills, knocking the diving birds to the ground.

A key advantage for Fang Zhou was that the Fierce Ravens' signature poison only had a slight corrosive effect on the Skeletons' bone bodies, causing them little actual harm.

However, the sheer number of Fierce Ravens was overwhelming.

Soon, several Skeletons at the front were dyed dark green by the poison. Their limb bones were damaged in many places, and their Soul Fire had slightly dimmed.

Seeing this, Fang Zhou remained composed.

He calmly activated the [Resurrection of the Dead] skill. Streaks of pale green light rose from the ground, instantly restoring the heavily injured Skeletons and stabilizing the defensive line once more.

Whenever the Fierce Ravens gathered too densely, Fang Zhou would hurl a [Skeleton Arrow Rain] into the flock. This not only killed over a dozen Fierce Ravens but also significantly alleviated the pressure on the Skeletons at the frontline.

After battling for over ten minutes, although the ground was covered with Fierce Raven corpses, their assault became increasingly fierce. Several Skeletons could no longer bear the burden; their Soul Fire was extinguished, and they collapsed into heaps of bone on the ground.

Seeing the defensive line teetering on the verge of collapse, Fang Zhou decisively swung his Magic Staff, summoning another 10 Skeletons to fill the gap.

At this point, his Spiritual Power was below fifty percent. And while the flock of Fierce Ravens appeared slightly thinner, they were still a dense swarm that blotted out the sky.

At Sea City Military Academy, all the apprentices watching Fang Zhou's live broadcast found their hearts in their throats.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Fang Zhou can't do anything about that Fierce Raven leader! He's already used [Skeleton Arrow Rain] and [Resurrection of the Dead] several times. If this continues, the flock will drain his Spiritual Power dry!"

"I never thought these feathered beasts would be so fearless! Fang Zhou and his Skeletons have already killed nearly a hundred of them, yet they show no sign of fear at all!"

"Heh, do you think they're still Blue Star's crows? These are Demons tainted by Negative Energy! Their minds are filled with nothing but the desire to kill."

"Alas, Fang Zhou might have hit an unexpected snag this time. If he can't find a way to deal with the Fierce Raven leader, he might have to ask the instructors for help..."

Meanwhile, in the Cave Fortress, the instructors who had been watching calmly were now also getting tense.

A female instructor looked at Lu Hu and tentatively asked, "Instructor Lu, the instructor stationed in the Goblin Cave region has located Fang Zhou and is ready to step in at any moment. What do you think?"

Lu Hu, however, calmly waved his hand and said, "No rush. Fang Zhou is the type to act only after careful planning. Since he dared to provoke the Fierce Ravens, he must be confident. Even if he can't defeat them, he can retreat safely. Let's wait and see!"

***

In the Cave Secret Forest, the battle between Fang Zhou and the Fierce Ravens had reached a fever pitch.

The Fierce Ravens became increasingly frenzied, gathering into hordes and attempting to overwhelm the Skeletons' defensive line with sheer numbers. Even their devious leader, seemingly unable to withstand such tremendous losses, lurked within the flock and launched a charge against the Skeletons.

Fang Zhou had been constantly tracking the leader's movements. When he saw it finally give in and charge into the frontline Battle Group, he immediately formed a plan.

Under Fang Zhou's control, the previously impermeable defensive line of Skeletons suddenly revealed a slight gap. The Fierce Raven leader immediately identified this vulnerability. Screeching a few times, it led its flock in a desperate charge through the opening.

Despite the Skeletons' efforts to close the breach, several stray ravens broke through the line, rushing towards the tightly protected Fang Zhou.

And the Middle Rank Apprentice Fierce Raven leader was among them!

"Bad news! The leader got close to Fang Zhou!" a watching apprentice exclaimed.

"Good! Fang Zhou's luring strategy succeeded!" Lu Hu, however, had a gleam in his eye as he excitedly slammed his fist on the table.

As expected, the Fierce Raven leader was the strongest and the fastest. It leaped out from the flock like a bolt of black lightning, racing straight toward Fang Zhou.

Watching this cunning Fierce Raven leader finally fall into his trap, a smirk touched Fang Zhou's lips.

He instantly activated the [Skeleton Shield] encircling him. A shield made of countless bone fragments rose instantly, forming an impenetrable barrier that blocked the Fierce Raven leader's charge.

The Fierce Raven leader crashed violently into the [Skeleton Shield], which trembled but remained unbroken. It screamed loudly, calling its flock as it persistently attacked, ignoring the rebound damage from the shield. Soon, under the flock's relentless assault, the [Skeleton Shield] began to falter.

The Fierce Raven leader spotted the human behind the Bone Shield who had slaughtered over a hundred of its kin. Enraged, its talons flashed with black light as it seemingly used a skill.

SNAP!

With that strike, it successfully shattered the [Skeleton Shield].

However, before it could revel in its triumph, a powerful paralysis effect burst forth from the broken bone shards the moment the shield shattered, instantly enveloping the attacking Fierce Raven leader. Unprepared, the leader was struck stiff by the sudden paralysis, unable to control its wings. It fell powerlessly from the air, slamming into the ground with a mournful cry.

Die!

Seizing the opportunity without hesitation, Fang Zhou gathered his power into a sharp Skeleton Flying Spear. He aimed it at the fallen leader and hurled it fiercely.

The Skeleton Flying Spear shot forth like an arrow cleaving the air, accurately piercing the Fierce Raven leader's heart. It emitted a final cry of agony, struggled for a moment, and collapsed, breathless.

Seeing this, the vast majority of the surrounding Fierce Ravens shrieked in terror and scattered in all directions. Only a small portion, their eyes blood-red, charged the Skeletons' defensive line with even greater fury, as if wanting to die alongside their leader.

With another [Skeleton Arrow Rain], Fang Zhou easily reaped these crazed Fierce Ravens. As for those that fled, he didn't expend any more Spiritual Power to chase them, instead directing his battered Skeleton Team to hunt down as many as they could.

Soon, the once tumultuous forest fell into a deathly silence, leaving only the indelible scent of blood lingering in the air.
