At this point in time, Lex showcased her leadership capabilities, she remained composed despite all that danger . The clouds in the skies were getting denser by the moment, rain would descend anytime . She ordered to team to travel full speed against the wind .
Saleen's calculation speed was faster than Lex's, but he did not make a judgment beforehand . That was a problem with his command ability . If they were to calculate the position of rainfall using the changes in the concentration of water vapor in the clouds, Saleen could calculate more than ten times quicker than Lex .
Not everyone possessed the abilities left behind by the Goddess of Myers . For Saleen, the Goddess of Myers' necklace had altered his constitution thoroughly, enabling him to possess abilities which could rival that of a magic prodigy .
The direction in which the wind was blowing was safer . Hunters loved to say this sentence, as it contained countless blood lessons . This sentence, was also acknowledged by the mages .
At the moment, Lex's team sprinted against the wind, which would double the consumption of the magic war chariots . Before long, the wheel axles would have to be changed .
If there were no skeletal warhorses, Lex could only bless the warriors with the Windspeed Skill, and they would have to travel on foot . When warriors were blessed with magic, they would be adversely affected and get fatigued quickly . Fundamentally, the Sword Aura clashed with elemental magic . Once the warriors got blessed with the Windspeed Skill, it would be more difficult for them to release their Sword Aura .
Qin was so powerful because it had so many mages, so the warriors could receive coordination training every single day . Qin was known as the empire of magic because of that . It did not mean that Qin would send their mages to be the pioneers in war though .
Woo woo…
The wind grew stronger, luckily it was not another sandstorm . As the black sand particles were drawn into the strong winds, they hammered the armor, producing shrill noises . The Soul Flame in the eyes of the skeletal warhorses flickered vigorously . The skeletal warhorses would not get exhausted, they were also unafraid of heat or cold, they could do battle until death .
The rain drops were sparse and hurried, and a stench filled the air . Suddenly, hundreds of bodies fell from the skies, they were all small magic beasts .
On the ground, in the black sand particles, microscopic creatures began emerging, slithering their bodies as they made a beeline for the bodies . As Saleen witnessed this strange cycle in the desert, he broke out in cold sweat . If it was not for Lex's metal house, they would have been part of those bodies falling from the sky .
Every step the skeletal warhorses took with their gigantic hooves, pale green flames would be spattered . These flames were extremely frosty, they were the sinister flames exclusive to a spirit . It was because of these sinister flames that the warhorses' hooves did not sink into the sand .

Ke chi, ke chi…
A humongous shadow appeared up ahead . Saleen used his Icy Sight to take a look, and he saw a magic beast which was dozens of yards tall . This magic beast might be several yards away, but because it was too huge, the desert could not conceal its stature .
The skeletal warhorses grew very uneasy . In fact, there were two warhorses who dodged to the side without being commanded . Even though a death mage was not present, Saleen could still control these skeletal warhorses . They were now out of control though . It seemed like the skeletal warhorses had a bad impression of the gigantic creature up ahead .
Lex was more knowledgeable than Saleen . She picked up the alchemical binoculars and looked into the distance . Puzzled, she asked, "What is that thing?"
Lex did not recognize it, causing Saleen to feel that something was amiss .
Narnia took the alchemical binoculars from Lex, and began observing the magic beast . The magic beast did not travel quickly . Once the warriors took control of the skeletal warhorses, they would be able to avoid it easily .
Lex told Saleen, "Narnia has seen the illustrations of every creature, that is why I brought her along for this trip . "
Saleen nodded, signaling that he understood . Narnia was a newly promoted grade-4 mage, so her offensive abilities would definitely pale in comparison to an average grand mage . Since Lex had brought her along, it must mean that she had some special skills .
"Viscountess, we should hide from this thing . It will be best to use this place for our coordinates, then continue the journey forty-five degrees from our current position . "
Narnia felt that her mouth was dry, but she continued, "This is a Sindika from the Sixth Abyss . "
An abyssal creature!
All the mages and swordmasters began to have a headache . The swordmasters had a headache because of the ferocity of an abyssal creature . The mages had a headache because it was impossible for abyssal creatures to appear in this location . There were only two explanations for this . Firstly, someone had summoned the abyssal creature, but taking into account Sindika's grade, it was not very plausible . Secondly, the space in the desert was in disorder, so there was a passageway connecting to the abyssal plane .
Out of all summoned creatures, creatures from the abyssal plane were the most unlikeable . When a mage summoned an abyssal creature, the creature would attack the mage first, which was in sharp contrast to the behavior of death creatures .

Only after defeating a summoned abyssal creature would the mage be able to command it to fight for him .
The problem was, the abyssal plane was also called the chaotic plane . No matter how proficient a mage was in the summoning spell, they might also make an error and summon an abyssal creature hundreds of times mightier than they were .
If summoning demons was dangerous, then summoning abyssal creatures was suicide . When a demon was in a good mood, it would help the mage carry out some tasks . When an abyssal creature was in a good mood, it would kill the mage to derive pleasure .
Of course, when an abyssal creature was feeling down, it would also kill the mage so as to appease itself .
Sindika was only a grade-8 creature, but it was genuinely at grade-8 . Even after traversing the planes, Sindika's power would not decrease by a lot . At the very least, it was not any different from a grade-8 creature on this plane .
Grade-8 only represented Sindika's ability to manipulate the elements . In the aspect of physical strength, Sindika was definitely at grade-9 .
Those skeletal warhorses began fleeing when they saw the Sindika because they recognized such a monster . It had been some time since the abyssal plane invaded the death plane, even the three kings got so annoyed that they came to this plane to attain peace . Since the skeletal warhorses were not even qualified to resist such an abyssal creature, they felt they had to try to escape .
When Sindika was still more than one mile away, Lex's team had totally altered their direction of travel . To their rear would be the area of rainfall, so they could not turn around . Lex listened to Narnia's suggestion by shifting them forty-five degrees from their current position before continuing on the journey .
There was a rambunctious boom, even the ground trembled . The Sindika had collapsed onto the ground, while the pale red flames which emitted from its body had been extinguished .
The drizzle landed on the Sindika's body . It convulsed, as the corrosive rain landed on its body .
Lex looked at Saleen, but Saleen simply shook his head . The Sindika might have fallen, but Saleen was not greedy . That might be a trick by abyssal creatures, or the Sindika might have already sustained serious injuries earlier on, thus erupting in this position . Even so, it would be harder to deal with the creature which harmed the Sindika .
If Saleen tried to take advantage of the situation, he could possibly come face to face with the human or creature which harmed the Sindika .

A grade-8 abyssal creature was extremely beneficial to a mage, even if it was dead . Sindika had the best material for equipment refinement, because the toughness of its body was that of a grade-9 magic beast .
The value of this Sindika far exceeded that of the metal house which Lex abandoned . Saleen was tempted, but he did not want to change his plans just because of this bit of profit .
If the main temple could be discovered, then an infinite number of Sindikas would not be able to outweigh it . If the main temple was not found, then the efforts by Lex and Saleen would go down the drain .
Lex knocked on the chariot's window, and the swordmasters increased their speed . They did not even bother looking at the fallen Sindika .
Even though the swordmasters had donned the Spirit Snake Armor, possessing the same kind of power as a grand swordmaster, they also would not be Sindika's match .
The Sindika resembled the walking dragon on this plane, just that it was uglier and had less skeletal thorns . The scales on the surface of their bodies were very similar, but a Sindika could emit flames that's power was similar to that of the Fire Ring of Resistance .
To the grand mages and swordmasters clad in the Spirit Snake Armor, a level-3 spell was no big deal . It was not the Sindika's combat technique however . It was only a kind of natural behavior for the Sindika to spew flames from its body, just like how humans breathed .
If a mage could achieve the effect of level-3 magic just by breathing, then other humans would definitely regard that mage as their leader .
The fallen Sindika had already noticed the team of humans faraway . Being extremely weak, it wanted to lure the humans over . Unexpectedly, that team of humans altered their direction of travel, totally disregarding its injuries .
The Sindika roared furiously and wanted to stand back up . After struggling on the ground for a few minutes, the flames on its body did not recover and it did not manage to stand up .
Om…
The sound of air trembling filled the air . Sindika's three eyes moved at the same time, noticing that a black colored hole had appeared in front of it . This black hole was only the size of a fist, but the Sindika could not measure the depth of the hole using its eyes .
It was as though one could not look away anymore after staring at it .
Following that, an arm formed by bones extended from within the hole . This arm was very slender, but it was angular as though it had been grinded with a trowel .
With a sway of that skeletal arm, the black colored hole was opened and a skeleton jumped out . This creature was not actually a skeleton, it was just that its shape resembled that of a skeleton .
This was a strange spirit . The bones on its body did not have an arc-shaped structure, instead, they were angular .
The Sindika could feel the terror of this spirit because it was a member of the team who invaded the death plane . It had killed numerous spirits in the past . The Sindika and its abyssal army tried their best to avoid interacting with this spirit who was right in front of it at the moment .
It was the Mechanical Soul . Against a normal spirit or an abyssal creature, it was a disaster .
This skeleton had a rectangular skull and square-shaped eye orbitals . Even though the Soul Flame in its eyes flickered in a regular fashion, it was not a genuine Soul Flame . It was a kind of magic image . If one stared at it for a long time, they would be entranced, and might do some unimaginable deeds .
Ga…
The Mechanical Soul hollered for a moment, causing its lower jaw to sound like it was going to break . With a stretch of its arm, its bone fingers had already pierced into the Sindika's forehead .
The Sindika tumbled across the ground . Its forehead was dozens of yards from the ground . When the Mechanical Soul extended its finger, it had leaped into the air, reaching a suitable height .
Using a finger, the Mechanical Soul pierced the eyes located on the front of the Sindika's forehead .
Ow…
Even though the Sindika was a high grade creature and knew how to speak three different languages, it actually roared like a magic beast when it was stabbed by the Mechanical Soul .
