In the valley, the huge skeleton raised its head and roared after it crawled out from the ground.
Although it was only a skeleton and could not make any sound from its mouth, the murderous aura that erupted from its body caused gusts of wind to rise in the surroundings!
For a time, sand and rocks flew everywhere. Some of the withered trees nearby were also broken and sent flying under the assault of such a strong wind.
The large tree that Lu Lin and the others were hiding in was also swaying continuously, breaking countless branches.
However, even under such circumstances, the talisman array around Lu Lin and the others was still not affected.
A moment later, the aura of the demon skeleton stabilized slightly.
It stood in its original spot quietly and blankly. However, it still made the subordinates beside Chen Jiang extremely nervous, afraid that it would suddenly attack!
Suddenly, it seemed to have noticed something and raised its head to look in a certain direction.
Seeing this, Chu Qingxue frowned.
That was because that was the direction that Lu Lin had pointed to just now.
In the next moment, it suddenly leaped up and actually began to sprint in that direction!
“Follow!”
Chen Jiang immediately led his subordinates and left behind the demon skeleton.
Chu Qingxue and Lu Lin followed closely behind.
Chu Qingxue did not know what exactly Lu Lin meant when he said tampering.
However, based on what she had seen in various parts of the Demonic Fiend Ridge, she could roughly guess the deployment that had caused the entire Demonic Fiend Ridge to revolt.
However, she was somewhat puzzled.
“Since you’ve already discovered that he tampered with it, why didn’t you destroy it and stop him?”
Lu Lin looked helpless, he said, “I can destroy it once or twice, but I can’t keep doing it. Not to mention that he has a group of people helping him. That’s why I thought of coming over to see what he was up to? I didn’t expect that he would actually create such a big scene!”
His words were actually half true and half false.
It was true that he had indeed discovered that when Chen Jiang attacked their talisman array, he had secretly left something on the ground.
However, he had no intention of destroying it.
That was because he had guessed what Chen Jiang was going to do from the start.
He did not stop Chen Jiang. Other than the reason why he wanted to continue downloading, there was another reason. That was because he knew how to deal with this demon skeleton.
Moreover, he was still thinking about how to use this demon skeleton for himself!
That’s right. This demon skeleton had a murderous aura that soared into the sky and was incomparably ferocious. However, it was a precious material.
It could even be said to be the most precious thing in the entire Demonic Fiend Ridge.
If it was refined properly, it could be refined into a high-grade moon-level talisman treasure!
Even a high-level moon shadow state expert might not be able to possess a treasure of this level.
This was clearly the main reason why Chen Jiang had taken this thing out.
As for having the demon skeleton kill the enemy, it was merely something that he would do for convenience.
In the original plot, it was because of Ling Xuan’s demise that he was unable to complete his plan.
After the demon skeleton was re-sealed, it fell into the hands of Chu Qingxue. In the end, she and Ling Xuan worked together to refine a talisman treasure and gave it to Ling Xuan.
And now, Lu Lin had indirectly allowed Chen Jiang’s progress to go smoothly. He planned to be the oriole following behind the mantis that stalking the cicada.
It was obvious that Lu Lin could no longer give up this demon skeleton to Ling Xuan.
In any case, Ling Xuan’s luck was so strong. Losing a talisman treasure wouldn’t be much to him. Perhaps he would be able to obtain another replacement talisman treasure very soon.
And to Lu Lin, this talisman treasure was of great value!
After all, he could download any innate skill or whatever. However, for things like talisman treasures, he could only think of a way on his own.
While Lu Lin was thinking about this, he and Chu Qingxue were also moving quickly.
Along the way, they saw the corpses of many demonic monsters. It looked like they had died miserably!
Among them, there was no lack of high-level star-ranked demonic monsters!
From the wounds on their bodies, it could be seen that they had died at the hands of the demon skeleton.
Moreover, they had all died in one hit!
These guys did not take the initiative to provoke the demon skeleton. Instead, it was because they happened to be in the way.
Not long after, Lu Lin and the others arrived near where he and Ling Xuan were hiding.
The demon skeleton, which had arrived here first, had already launched an attack on Lu Lin and the others’ talisman array!
It roared silently and charged towards the mountain where Ling Xuan and the others were hiding.
“Boom!”
A loud sound suddenly occured!
It was as if two huge mountains were colliding with each other.
The enormous demon skeleton and the talisman array violently collided, creating a terrifying shockwave.
Countless talisman patterns appeared in the air with layers of earthen yellow talisman lights.
Those talisman lights blocked the collision of the demon skeleton.
However, its was also violently shaking. It was clearly not too easy to handle this attack.
Meanwhile, the demonic skeleton’s attack had just begun.
It began to circle around the mountain peak, repeatedly colliding with it. Its pair of skeleton claws were also flapping randomly in all directions, causing the talisman array to shake continuously.
Ling Xuan and the others within the talisman array did not stand still passively. While they were defending against the attack, they also took the initiative to attack.
Wind blades, fireballs, icicles, lightning…
All sorts of attacks appeared one after another, enveloping the demon skeleton.
However, they could not cause any damage to the demon skeleton at all.
In the distance, Lu Lin and Chu Qingxue once again hid themselves.
The distance between Lu Lin and Chen Jiang was too far, so the download was cut off again.
Just as he was feeling a little regretful, he heard Chu Qingxue’s voice beside him. “The attack power of this demon skeleton is no less than the first or second level of the human moon shadow state. Moreover, Ling Xuan and the others’ talisman array is not perfect, so it probably won’t be able to hold on for long.”
Lu Lin came back to his senses and said in agreement, “I think so too.”
Chu Qingxue glanced at him and asked indifferently, “Aren’t you and Ling Xuan friends? Aren’t you going to help?”
Lu Lin said, “Let’s not talk about whether Chen Jiang and the others will let me enter the array. Even with me included, the power of the compound five-star array will still be limited. At most, it can only hold on for a little longer. What’s the point?”
Chu Qingxue raised her eyebrows and said, “Do you plan to just stand by and watch?”
“So what if I don’t stand by and watch?”
Lu Lin had a helpless expression as he said, “Right now, Chen Jiang has so many other people who are obviously assassins and he has the help of this devil skeleton. Am I going to send myself to my death?”
As he said this, he sighed lightly, he said, “It’s also my fault for not having enough power! Thinking about it, Little Ling and the others don’t want me to sacrifice myself in order to save them! I can’t make a pointless sacrifice. I have to stay alive to be useful and work hard to become stronger. I’ll avenge them later!”
In any case, Ling Xuan and the others could still hold on for a while. He was indeed not in a hurry to make a move.
He would first finish downloading ‘Celestial Feather Protection’ by Chu Qingxue’s side!
Chu Qingxue pursed her lips.
How could she not hear that Lu Lin was mocking her for not doing her job in the exam supervision, which was why these assassins were allowed to enter.
He was even hinting in his words that if they, the contestants, died, she would be the culprit.
Thinking about it carefully, although she wanted to take the opportunity to test Lu Lin’s true strength, it was indeed inappropriate to watch Chen Jiang act so recklessly.
She had long realized that there was a space binding talisman array around them!
In other words, Ling Xuan and the others could not give up even if they wanted to.
If something really happened in the end, she would feel guilty even if no one would pursue her.
At this thought, Chu Qingxue suddenly said, “If I lure those assassins away, do you have the confidence to save Ling Xuan and the others?”
Without even thinking, Lu Lin replied, “Of course I do! Not only will I save Ling Xuan and the others, I will also take the opportunity to get rid of Chen Jiang, the main culprit!”
“Then let’s begin!”
After throwing out these words, Chu Qingxue’s figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from Lu Lin’s side!
The moment Chu Qingxue left, the skill that Lu Lin was downloading, ‘Celestial Feather Protection’, was stopped.
Lu Lin pursed his lips, but he wasn’t too surprised.

Because he had read the original plot of the novel, he knew that this was Chu Qingxue’s personality. She would never drag things out.
Similarly, he didn’t delay. His body suddenly moved towards Chen Jiang’s position.
Yes, he was prepared to take down Chen Jiang first, and then deal with the demon skeleton!
This was because he felt that Chen Jiang’s was more unstable. No one knew what he would do.
Moreover, if he first took care of Chen Jiang, it would also be convenient for him to finish downloading the “Shocking Dragon Palm Technique”!
