27: Chapter 27 Dangerous Situation 27: Chapter 27 Dangerous Situation “Clear off!” The Skeleton King was evidently quite furious upon seeing Zhou Tian send his Beastman Warriors at it instead of engaging personally.

After a roar of anger, it forcefully swung its right arm to the side.

With just a single motion that could barely even be considered an attack, the Skeleton King caused considerable damage to Zhou Tian’s Beastman Warriors.

Upon contact, some died, while others were injured.

And several Beastman Warriors, just following Zhou Tian’s orders, had no opportunity for retaliation.

They were instantly slain by the Skeleton King.

“Damn it!

How can he be so powerful?

Luckily, he’s a bit stupid.

Otherwise, our forces wouldn’t be enough for him to kill,” Zhou Tian muttered fearfully to himself.

Faced with the threat of the Skeleton King, he clenched his teeth and cautiously approached the beast.

The Skeleton King was competent, much more so than Zhou Tian had anticipated.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Tian wouldn’t even consider approaching.

However, due to his current predicament, the fear of the Skeleton King obliterating his remaining Beastman Warriors forced Zhou Tian onwards.

“Hurry up!

If you don’t take out those skeletons soon, we’re all done for,” Zhou Tian calmly moved towards the Skeleton King.

All the while, he was secretly issuing haste orders to the Beastman Warriors outside using his authority.

His only hope was that these Beastmen could eliminate the skeletons and come to his aid before his demise.

Zhou Tian’s actions seemed somewhat slowed, preoccupied with his plan.

“I’ll kill you,” the Skeleton King glared at Zhou Tian malevolently, perhaps due to some deep-rooted enmity.

After leaving the threatening comment in Zhou Tian’s mind, it hurled itself towards him.

“Oh my God!” Facing the Skeleton King’s attack, Zhou Tian didn’t dare to resist.

Crying out in fear, he promptly rolled away, evading the strike.

“Coward!” Seeing Zhou Tian’s reaction, the Skeleton King was bedraggled and, roaring in anger, it launched another attack.

Several times the Skeleton King aimed his attacks at Zhou Tian with the intent of defeating him in one fell swoop.

“Boom, boom, boom…

” Zhou Tian’s continual evasion infuriated the Skeleton King so much that it lost interest in his one-on-one combat and directed its attention elsewhere.

“Attack!” Following the Skeleton King’s command, a group of Skeleton Warriors sitting close to Zhou Tian rapidly moved in for the attack.

“Damn it!” Zhou Tian originally planned to use the current strategy to buy some time, and didn’t anticipate the Skeleton King’s patience would be so thin.

He inadvertently upset the Skeleton King, and before he knew it, the situation had turned dire.

Zhou Tian’s remaining Beastman Warriors were quickly diminishing in number and the ability to guard the entrance was uncertain.

Not to mention Zhou Tian himself, now surrounded by Skeleton Warriors, in addition to the Skeleton King’s attack.

Death seemed an imminent possibility.

Luckily, despite the dire circumstances, Zhou Tian was prepared to stall for time and sensed the situation outside.

After spending nearly double the scheduled time and huge losses, Zhou Tian’s Beastmen has just completed their task, nearly by the skin of their teeth.

Even before the Skeleton King had a chance to order his Skeleton Warriors to surround and attack Zhou Tian, his Beastman Warriors and beast slaves had come into their line of sight.

“We’re saved!” Although the incoming reinforcements were weak, given the current circumstance, their symbolic significance and potential effect couldn’t be neglected by either Zhou Tian or the Skeleton King.

When the Beastmen arrived, the Skeleton King showed clear signs of panic.

“Kill them!” Fully aware of what the incoming Beastmen represented, the Skeleton King couldn’t gamble on wasting more time.

While issuing a death order to his Skeleton Warriors, it dashed towards Zhou Tian.

“Now you’re anxious, but isn’t it too late?” refers to the fact that the size of one’s territory determines power.

Previously, Zhou Tian acquired such information in his mind, but he wasn’t clear about the specifics of monster territorial disputes until now, having experienced it himself.

The territorial battle doesn’t grant you added strength just because you suddenly occupied a territory, nor does it require you to occupy a piece of land for a certain period to bear effect.

After Zhou Tian’s Beastmen occupied the territories surrounding the Skeleton Tribe, their strength subtly began to change.

It just wasn’t very noticeable.

In the beginning, Zhou Tian’s Elite Beastman Warriors’ power matched that of the Skeleton Tribe’s ordinary skeletons, but after the Beastmen occupied the tribe’s outer territories, the Skeleton Warriors were outclassed by the Beastman Warriors.

The strength of the Skeleton Tribe Warriors compared to the Beastman Warriors wasn’t much stronger either.

You could say that while there’s still a significant power gap, the discrepancy is diminishing at a steady, rapid pace.

Zhou Tian believes that as long as this situation persists, his conditions will continuously improve.

While Zhou Tian’s strength was gradually strengthening at a steady speed, his situation hadn’t changed.

Zhou Tian wasn’t completely recovered, attacked by numerous Skeleton Warriors and threatened by the Skeleton King.

No matter how you look at it, Zhou Tian was in a dangerous situation.

Despite being aware of his situation, he couldn’t do much about it for the time being.

All he could do now was try to survive.

Considering his strength, Zhou Tian managed to get rid of a few Skeleton Warriors in front of him with minor injuries.

Seeing the Skeleton King preparing to attack, he shouted, “Wait a minute, I have something to say,” due to his inability to hold on.

Concerned that the skeletons wouldn’t stop, he quickly added, “It’s about the territory.”
