Chapter 687: Chapter 687
Du You didn’t stop there but had the skeletons set up something resembling an altar around them. Of course, Du You had no idea how to arrange an altar, it was just a faux display.
Although it looked like an altar, it was certainly not real. It was decorated with strange talismans that even Du You could not recognize, coupled with a lot of pig’s blood that added an eerie and terrifying ambiance to it.
In the vicinity, Du You found many bones. These were leftovers from the boarmen’s meals, providing ready-made materials. Arranging these bones and hanging them up established a horrifying atmosphere.
"Master, is this really useful?" Lin Yucha asked curiously.
Du You had a mysterious smile, "Of course, it’s useful. It will make the boarmen think that we are conducting some mysterious ritual, stimulating them even more. Just think about it, what are the rituals performed by an undead mage usually for?"
The two understood. Rituals performed by undead mages were extremely dangerous. They were either used to summon a large number of undead or create a large number of undead. Once the boarmen found out, they would definitely do everything they could to stop it.
Because if something like that happened, they were going to face a catastrophic disaster.
"Adding some light and sound effects would be best, but how to do it?"
"Why don’t we light some candles around? I saw some good pine trees when I came over. The resin produced by these trees could be used." The one who spoke this time was Lin Yushi.
These were not ordinary pine trees. They were special products loaded with magic elements, different from regular pine trees. Ordinary resin certainly couldn’t produce such effects.
After a trial, Du You nodded in agreement. While the skeletons were still there, he ordered them to cut down a large number of pine trees and collect some resin. They made some oil lamps from the resin and lit them around the area.
They also lit large bonfires nearby, creating an atmosphere of eerie horror.
While Du You was setting up the scene, the boarmen who had run away finally reached their nearby tribes. Through their panicked speeches, the boarmen finally understood what had happened.
Several powerful and evil undead mages had come to their place, summoned a lot of skeletons to fight with them, and they lost. These mages were too powerful, intending to create a large number of undead here.
At this point, everyone was scared. If a lot of undead appeared in this place, wouldn’t their place be destroyed? Although this area was lawless and no one managed them, they also didn’t have anyone to rescue them in the face of danger, leaving them to fend for themselves.
"No, we must spread the news as soon as possible. We can’t let this go."
"Hold on, those undead mages are powerful. We might not be their match if we don’t go all out."
This information quickly spread through the boarmen’s channels. That day, some boarmen scouts appeared at the place where Du You and the others were. Du You killed some, but there were some he couldn’t kill.
Those boarmen naturally believed they were well hidden, spreading the news back to their tribe.
The evil ritual, the gigantic altar, and the terrifying atmosphere were all spread by those boarmen who knew nothing about magic. Upon hearing this, the boarmen became more agitated.
The next day, nearly all the boarmen tribes started taking action. Du You didn’t realize how they could spread the message so quickly within such a short time, which was unimaginable. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
However, Du You knew that his plan had succeeded. Starting from the second day, boarmen’s troops began to gather in the surroundings with their numbers growing rapidly. By the third day, boarmen from far away had run over.
These guys were quite good at running. Almost all the powerful boarmen in Wild Boar Ridge were present.
"Looking at this, there are at least tens of thousands, possibly even up to a hundred thousand. Their aura tells me that all the boarmen in the third tier are here. Fortunately, there are no fourth-tier boarmen, otherwise, we would have to run."
Using his three birds for aerial reconnaissance, Du You heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself to change the plans.
Du You found out that these boarmen lacked magic-class creatures, had no flying squads, and even had very few ranged professionals. It was too easy to deal with such a Kitchen Knife Team.
When the boarmen’s massive force started charging towards them, Du You found an opportunity.
"I’ll leave for a while, just remember to resist here. If it’s impossible, find a safe spot to hide. I have dug tunnels underground. You could block the entrance when the time comes."
Du You took off his Undead Armguard and handed it to Lin Yucha, "Be careful and protect yourself. I’ll be back soon."
Seeing the approaching boarmen’s forces, Du You didn’t want to waste any time.
"Master, take care. We won’t let you down," Lin Yucha said solemnly, then put on the Undead Armguard. Although where they were was quite spacious, it would not be easy for an army of tens of thousands to attack together. The terrain would hinder the boarmen’s movements.
Whether it was due to their excellent execution this time or not, the boarmen went all out. This all-out warfare strategy led to a terrifying number of boarmen in the area, which was exactly what Du You wanted.
Du You left, and all the summoned beasts disappeared. Because of the distance, these beasts couldn’t be of use. Soon, only the sisters were left in the area.
"Sister, we really have to do this ourselves," said Lin Yushi, a little frightened with Du You gone.
"Of course, only the two of us are left here. If not us, whom else can we rely on?" Lin Yucha said matter-of-factly. However, worry was visible in her eyes.
Although they had faced a lot of enemies before, it was mostly Du You who took the lead. As long as Du You was there, there were always powerful summoned beasts and terrifying magic, and they only needed to deal damage.
Although this wasn’t the first time the sisters were acting on their own, it was the first time they were facing such a dangerous situation. Relying solely on their strength, they were not a match for so many boarmen in the third tier.
Under such a mass attack from the boarmen, let alone them, even a fourth-tier professional would be surrounded to death if they didn’t run away.
