The lantern gradually moved closer.

Dongfang Guan Yuan suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, which is a lantern, it is clearly a ball of flowing fireflies, and behind the flowing fireflies, there is a skeleton!

The skeleton was white and boneless, without a trace of flesh and blood, only two deep-set eye sockets emitting a faint ghostly glow.

The group of fireflies floated in front of the skeleton, gathering but not dispersing, moving with the movement of the skeleton, as if controlled by the skeleton, like a lantern, this scene at first glance how weird and weird, people can't help but feel cold.

The skeleton came in the direction of the rocky hill, passing by Dongfang Guan Yuan's side, and did not stop, went straight away, and when he was closest to Dongfang Guan Yuan, he could see that the skeleton's right foot bone was missing a little toe.

It wasn't until the skeleton was gone away that Dongfang Guan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, sat down slowly, and his crumbling heart gradually eased.

Looking at the skeleton's condition, it seems to be patrolling the territory.

This is a powerful skeleton, not an ordinary skeleton soldier, otherwise it would not be possible to control the firefly so easily.

Dongfang Guan Yuan didn't have the slightest idea of clashing with it, unless he was found to be desperate.

Steady down, but without the slightest drowsiness, he continued to practice dual-mindedness.

After such a disturbance from the skeleton, he seemed to have entered an ethereal realm, and he was naturally able to write different words with both hands, becoming more and more proficient.

Gradually, I was a little sleepy, and I was about to stop practicing and fall asleep, when suddenly an idea flashed: "This is a game, why do you need to sleep, it should be because your body needs to rest, can you rest while staying vigilant?"

This is no longer a dual-purpose application, but an application derived from dual-purpose.

This is not a tree, and there is no yarn tent, it is not safe, in case the skeleton comes to find them again, or if there is any poison to get in, it is very dangerous, so it is necessary to maintain a vigilance, Huajian smiled This heartless guy is already asleep, and he can't count on it, so he can only bear it himself, but in order to maintain the energy of the next day, the basic rest is still necessary, so Dongfang Guan Yuan will have such an idea, of course, there is also a loan for one heart and two purposes.

Dongfang Guan Yuan began to try, forgetting himself first according to the trick of single-mindedness and dual-use, and looking at himself as a bystander.

The experience summed up through the previous exercises shows that the so-called self-exclusion is actually to oppose one's consciousness to one's own existence, but it is not to sever the connection between one's own self, so that one can divide oneself into two selves, one active and one passive.

Now, what he has to do is to let his passive self rest, and the active self to maintain a basic consciousness.

At first, it was not successful, either he couldn't sleep, or he fell asleep completely, and after continuous trial and adjustment, as well as continuous self-suggestion, Dongfang Guan Yuan finally entered a strange state.

Seems to be asleep, not asleep.

I'm sleeping, but I'm aware of my surroundings.

This is probably the case for most people, but it's not easy to achieve and maintain it on your own.

About two more hours later, Dongfang Guan Yuan heard a slight footstep again, the same as last time, coming from the same direction.

He didn't fully wake himself up, but only kept the senses on their toes.

Like last time, the footsteps didn't stop, passing by the side and walking into the distance.

In the haze, Dongfang Guan Yuan had a kind of euphoria of success, but it was very light.

Two hours later, the footsteps appeared as promised, very punctual, and the steps were as neat as before.

After another two hours, when the footsteps came again, Dongfang Guan Yuan's heart suddenly moved, woke up his sleeping self, and began to think: "It's almost dawn, this should be the last time the Skeleton Lord patrols its territory, you can track it down and see where it is last hiding, maybe there is a chance to deal with it during the day." ”

He doesn't like to kill, but skeletons aren't people.

After death, you should sleep peacefully, and you should not come out to be scary.

When the footsteps were far away and almost unheard, Dongfang Guan Yuan gently pushed the flowers and smiled, "Wake up, it's almost dawn." ”

Hanama smiled and opened her hazy sleepy eyes, "Boss, isn't it still dark?"

"When the day comes, the unicorn will come again, and then it will be too late to leave. ”

"yes, let's go, boss, you're fully recovered?"

"Well, that's fine. ”

The two of them picked up the branches on their heads and came out of the tunnel, and Dongfang Guan Yuan led the way and chased in the direction where the skeleton left.

Walking along the edge of the sand and gravel territory, corresponding to the induction, Dongfang Guan Yuan stopped and went, not too close, always staying outside the footsteps that could be heard, but not far away.

Hanama smiled inexplicably, so she didn't think much about it.

After more than an hour, there was already a hint of light in the sky, and then Hanama smiled and realized that something was wrong, "Boss, what are we doing? It seems to be going around in circles, it can't be a ghost hitting the wall, right?"

"Don't speak, you'll know in a moment. ”

Soon, Dongfang Guan Yuan stopped, looked left and right, and around, there were a few sporadic fireflies.

"That's it, let's wait here. ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until dawn and don't speak. ”

The two took dry food and water and ate in silence.

After a full hour, it was bright, and the fog was a little lighter, Dongfang Guan Yuan walked straight to the depths of the sandy and gravel ground, and followed behind with a smile and confusion.

After about five or six hundred steps, there was a sand dune in front of it, which was not very large, but there was a cave on the side.

"Boss, what is this? Could it be a wild boar's nest? But we don't have any weapons in our hands!"

"It's not a boar's den, it's a skeleton lord's tomb. ”

Hanama smiled and suddenly jumped up: "Skeleton Lord! Boss, you're not looking for death, are you?"

"Don't be afraid, the skeleton only comes out at night, and even if you pee on his nest now, it can only continue, huh?" Dongfang Guan Yuan suddenly frowned, "That's not right!"

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Have you ever played games?"

"Hehe, boss, you're thinking too much, this is a game, don't be so serious!

"We don't need convenience, but what about our bodies? I mean our real bodies. ”

"You're too lenient, boss, it's not something you should be thinking about. ”

"Okay, smile, you go find some dead branches. ”

"Boss, you're really embarrassing me, where did the dead branches come from in this long-term fog?"

"What then, what else is there to start a fire?"

"Boss, what do you want to do?"

"Force the Skeleton Lord out of the tomb. ”

"Boss, you're not crazy, are you?

"No, I think it will be very limited during the day. ”

"And what about after we get rid of it? How are we going to kill it? It's an undead monster. ”

"Let's get out first, but then we can't run away. ”

"Well, if you can really kill the skeleton lord, you will definitely get something valuable, boss, but there is a thing that ignites fire, I don't know if you are reluctant to give it up. ”

"What's that?"

"Gauze tents. ”

"Bring it, quickly. ”

"You're so willing, okay, give. ”

Dongfang Guan Yuan suddenly showed a weird smile, "Let's try to burn it first, if it comes out, let's run separately and circle around this sandy area, if it chases me, you go back here quietly, get into its tomb, and see if there is anything valuable." ”

"Boss, you don't want to kill it, but you want to take its nest and steal its belongings!"

"It's just to sell it for money, I don't think we have that ability. ”

"That's what the Boss said, but what if it can run faster than us, or if it can spell like a unicorn?"

"I think it's going to be severely suppressed during the day, at least I don't feel much danger right now. ”

"Listen to your boss, it's done!"

The two lit the tent with flint, threw it into the hole, broke a branch, and poked it in.

After a while, Dongfang Guan Yuan shouted: "Retreat!"

Then I saw the whole sand dune quickly bulge upward, and then reveal an arm bone, then a skull, and two people with a ghostly glow in their eyes.

"Run separately. ”

The two of them immediately ran to both sides, one left and one right.

The skeleton quickly burrowed out of the sand dune, and the smoke came out, and the skeleton shook its head from side to side and chased after Guan Yuan in the east.

Dongfang Guan Yuan deliberately ran slower, so he got closer to the skeleton, luring the skeleton to chase him, and when the skeleton chased after him, he immediately accelerated.

The skeleton was not running very fast, and Dongfang Guan Yuan put his mind at ease and deliberately kept a fixed distance from it, while guarding against its spells.

After a few hundred steps, the skeleton was obviously a little impatient, and suddenly threw an object at Dongfang Guan Yuan.

Dongfang Guan Yuan had a premonition, dodged away, and turned his head to look, but it was a left-handed hand bone, which could still move when it fell on the sand.

It's so ruthless, he even dismantles his own body weapon!

Dongfang Guan Yuan immediately turned to prevent the skeleton from picking up its hand bones.

Soon, another one was thrown, but it was an arm bone.

After Dongfang Guan Yuan avoided it, he picked it up, and the arm bones of the skeleton were not as mobile as the hand bones.

"It would be nice if even the right arm bone was thrown over, so that maybe it could be made into a bone bow, think of the bow made from the arm bone of the Skeleton Lord, how powerful!"

Dongfang Guan Yuan even imagined and ran.

The skeleton didn't throw more bones.

Half an hour later, Dongfang Guan Yuan estimated that the time was almost up, and his physical strength had also decreased, so he mustered up his strength, quickly left the skeleton behind, and then turned and went straight to the tomb.

Hanama was waiting near the tomb, his face was gray, and he was holding an object in his hand.

"Let's go, what is this?"

Huajian smiled and suddenly cried a little sadly: "Boss, it's really wronged, I was scared, and I got dirty on my body, so I picked up a pillow, and there was nothing else." ”

"Pillows?"

Dongfang Guan Yuan looked at it, and the thing in his arms was really like a pillow, but it was gray and simple, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

"Let's take it first and see how much it can be sold. ”

"Boss, what do you have in your hand, you won't break up the skeleton lord, right?"

"It dismantled itself. ”

"Tear it down yourself, will it masochist?"

The two of them ran wildly, and soon the mountain began to rise, and the fog thinned.

"Boss, are we going forward, or are we going back?"

"Of course, it's going forward, there are unicorns in the way, and we can't retreat if we want to. ”

"Well, let's be empty-handed, what should we do if we encounter monsters again? Hey, boss, why is your face getting darker and darker? It can't be poisoning, right?"
