Bolton had a strong talent for leading the way.
Without needing to look at any map, he could remember every location clearly.
He remembered clearly where detours were needed and where monster strongholds were located.
After leaving Pigmen Village, the large team headed west.
They crossed through forests and mountain valleys.
The disturbed wild beasts let out a few roars of anger, then left.
They avoided this army composed of bones.
Finally, in the long march.
The team entered the ruins.
A clear isolation zone was formed between the city ruins and the forest.
Behind them was a lush forest.
In front, however, was a barren waste where nothing grew. In the distance, they could see a city ruin. Most of the city wall had collapsed, and among the rubble and rotting wood, a few weeds were growing, adding some green to the pale grey scene.
“Sir, we have entered the ruins,’1 Bolton said.
Fang Hao also knew that this was the ruins, after all, he was not blind. He could see the difference between here and the outside world.
“Where are the elemental creatures you mentioned?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
He looked around, but didn’t see any elemental creatures.
He didn’t even see a single mouse.
“Sir, when we get closer, they will appear,’1 Bolton quickly replied.
Fang Hao nodded. He pointed at a lucky skeleton soldier and ordered: “Go, scout ahead.”
The skeleton soldier walked out of the team and strode forward.
About two hundred meters in, a layer of mist suddenly rose from the ground.
The mist wrapped around the scouting skeleton.
Fang Hao narrowed his eyes, closely observing the mist.
Just then.
Zizz!
In the mist, several flashes of lightning, like electric currents, struck the scouting skeleton.
Its body flew backward and by the time it landed, it had become a scattering of bones.
Killed in one hit.
A sense of heaviness immediately filled Fang Hao’s heart.
Even when they encountered a level 7 ogre, a skeleton soldier wearing plate armor could withstand a strike.
However, it was killed instantly by the creature in the mist.
“Attack, kill them!” Fang Hao immediately ordered.
The creatures in the mist were powerful, but their numbers were not high.
Fang Hao’s battle style was quite straightforward.
For him, the strong prey upon the weak, and the many terrorize the few.
As for tactics and ingenious strategies.
Er… He did not need them at the moment.
Tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers and 1,100 skeleton ogres ran past Fang Hao and Bolton.
With the sound of crunching bones and clashing armor filling the battlefield.
A sea of gleaming skeletons charged at the mist.
Zizzz!!
Brilliant arcs of lighting shot from the mist, constantly striking the skeletons.
Fortunately, the skeleton ogres were enormous and only suffered some impacts, not being killed instantly.
On the contrary, the normal skeleton soldiers could not withstand such impacts, they were killed with a single strike.
Soon, the skeleton army charged into the mist.
The tide of the army pushed out the creatures inside the mist.
They appeared in Fang Hao’s line of sight.
“Air Elemental (5th order)”
(Description: The remnants of the magic dust settled and agglomerated to produce an air elemental. In a favorable environment, it will display extraordinary and frightful power.)
The air elemental looked as though it was made of collected clouds.
The upper half of its body had a human-like silhouette, while the lower half looked like floating mist.
It resembled the scene of Aladdin’s genie in its entrance in a cartoon series.
It’s an air elemental.
This wasn’t something Fang Hao had expected.
He had assumed that elemental creatures, based on his use of the wood spirits, would follow the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The occurring of an air elemental, it made him reconsider his original beliefs.
Perhaps this world doesn’t conform to conventional notions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air elementals engaged in fierce combat with the skeleton ogres.
Fortunately, air elementals were also living entities, not an elusive mist.
When attacked by a giant axe, they too would get hurt and cry out in painful roars.
Sizzle!
Off in the distance, an air elemental is relentlessly forced out of the fog by five skeleton trolls.
Its gaseous arm points, and a lightning bolt hits one of them before immediately spreading to two others, like a serpent made of electricity.
The three struck skeleton ogres stiffened slightly, and from where they were hit, white smoke began to rise.
However, the skeleton ogres only sustained some damage, raising their war axes.
Striking at the body of the air elemental overhead.
The five war axes repeatedly fell, completely annihilating the air elemental.
It turned into a plume of smoke which gradually dissipated in the air.
The battle was still ongoing.
Roar!
When the last air elemental was completely destroyed, the fog obscuring the view around them also gradually cleared.
“Are there any other creatures?” Fang Hao asked Bolton who stood beside him.
“Ah? I don’t know, we’ve been blocked out by these air elementals.” Bolton immediately answered.
They couldn’t even eliminate these air elementals, so naturally, they had no idea whether there were any other monsters inside.
Fang Hao nodded and ordered the skeleton soldiers to search the surrounding area for any treasure chests or other spoils of war.
Before long, a skeleton soldier came striding over, carrying a silver treasure chest.
With a bang, it was tossed in front of Fang Hao.
Seeing the treasure chest, Fang Hao’s mood improved somewhat.
He hasn’t even entered the ruins city and already he has acquired a treasure chest.
Opening the treasure chest.
[Obtain: Mist Enshrouded Skill Scroll, Air Elemental Summoning Skill Scroll, Trace of the Sky 2, 87 Warfire Coins.]
There were a total of three rewards.
Two of them were air elemental magic.
This almost caused Fang Hao to jump up in excitement.
Since he had taken the Magic Revelation Potion, he was able to learn various magic skills.
This time, he acquired two more kinds of magic, which enhanced his ability to defend himself.
Currently speaking.
With the hundred-fold enhancement, the strength of his territory is not weak.
As long as Fang Hao had time to gather his forces, he could compete with all the forces around his territory.
But the weakness is also very obvious.
His personal strength was too weak. In the face of assassination or other targeted tactics, he would struggle to respond.
Therefore, strengthening himself, enhancing his skill to increase his survival rate, was equally crucial to the development of his territory.
These two skills happen to be what he needed.
He suppressed his excitement and began to check the rewards he acquired.

[Level: Level Three Magic]
[Ability: The mist will cover the battlefield, reducing the enemy’s field of vision by 75% and morale by 15%.]
(Description: Ready for a game of hide and seek? Toy with your opponent in the mist, unable to distinguish friend from foe within three meters.)
This skill is identical to the mist that Fang Hao had just witnessed.
It doesn’t seem to have the same effect as before.
In the previous situation, the density of the cloud and fog was such that only when the air elemental was forced out could the creatures inside the fog be seen.
But this skill scroll seems to have greatly reduced that ability.
He continued to the next skill scroll.
