The Valley of Death, an ancient ruin on the edge of the Venta region, is said to have been killed thousands of years ago when seven legendary mages laid siege to an extremely powerful demon sorcerer.

The war shattered the skies and barren the land, and turned the entire region into a vast desert, and to this day, the terrible magic energy is still raging, and to some extent affects the local climate.

The automobiles of this era, with their rough workmanship, could not take on the function of driving in the desert, so they had to ride pack horses.

The Valley of the Dead is home to seven monumental ancient tombs, which are said to have been built in memory of the seven legendary mages whose souls are still at war with the spirits of demons to this day.

In addition to this, the Valley of Death has also been the scene of a tragic massacre in recent history, and the bones of those who were slaughtered were filled into seven ancient tombs and buried in sand, making it a natural home for fallen mages.

A group of more than 20 people rode on pack horses under the reflection of the desert sunset.

After killing the legendary-level Abyssal Demon, Shi Yinghu himself was promoted to four levels one after another, and it can be said that he directly entered the mid-level stage of the second-order necromancer.

Of course, there is nothing to hesitate about the twenty free attribute points, which are directly on the vitality attribute, but the four skill points directly obtained, Shi Yinghu has to think about it, if you count the one point left before, it is now five skill points in hand.

Shi Yinghu had that little skill point, and he originally planned to use it to learn "Resurrection Skeleton Mage" or "Abomination Synthesis", but he didn't expect to encounter this matter in front of him, the killing experience of low-level professionals in killing fallen legendary lifeforms is very high, and if he kills Erschem, he will inevitably level up, so there is no need to save any more points.

What's more, if the boat capsized because of the slightest difference in the retained skill points in the battle, even if Shi Yinghu was confident that he would not die, he did not dare to guarantee that others would not die, and his mutated summoned beast would not die.

After thinking about it on a desert pack horse, a group of twenty people entered the Death Canyon.

As soon as they got closer, everyone realized that they had made a mistake, because from a distance, there was a slight transpiration of dark magic spreading, and when they got closer, the earth cracked, the mountains and rocks shattered, and from the ground and the mountain walls crawled out many fossil-like skeleton warriors, they were huge, and dark red soul fire jumped in the eye sockets, surging from all directions.

In addition to those fossil skeleton warriors, Shi Yinghu's eyes were like torches, and he also noticed some desert lynxes and mutant monsters that had been alienated by magic and unknown reasons, as they entered the valley, they seemed to be awakened.

(Disturb the sleep of the dead, and make atonement for your sins!)

Everyone present, if you count Shi Yinghu, there should be six necromancer masters, and these necromancer masters' own magic cultivation is superimposed on equipment bonuses, and they can often summon more than 20 skeleton warriors and skeleton mages.

The Skeleton Revival Spell Slot that has been completed at level 20 can summon eight skeleton warriors.

The revival skeleton mage spell slot that has been completed at level 20 can summon eight skeleton mages, and then superimpose the equipment bonuses on the body, and each necromantic grandmaster will summon more than 20 skeleton warriors and skeleton mages without any problem, and then superimpose the stone demon summon and the mercenary bodyguards around him...... The last thing a necromancer is afraid of is group fighting tactics.

The necromantic skeletons summoned by the five Necromantic Grandmasters add up to more than a hundred, densely packed in a large area, under the leadership of their own mercenary bodyguards, to meet the torrent of monsters heading towards the Valley of Death, in addition to them, they also summon fire demons and iron demons to impact and slaughter the monsters in front of them.

Most of the mercenary bodyguards carried by the necromancer are spearmen and spearmen, who can attack and defend and have aura aura abilities to bless their summons, and the overall benefit is the largest.

Of course, there are also a small number of shameless people, who bring Amazons, assassins and even female mage bodyguards, and the function is not only to protect personal safety.

As for Shi Yinghu himself...... He's young, unlike those Necromancer Grandmasters, who are obviously all seventy or eighty years old, and they have the cheekiness to hire little girls.

Thinking about it, Shi Yinghu focused all of his five skill points on the skeleton recovery, so that his skeleton recovery spell level was raised to the fifteenth level of his own cultivation, and the seventeenth level of the equipment bonus, summoning seven skeleton warriors to mix into the sea of skeletons, and the steel bones commanded the rampage to harvest the monster blood soul.

"Thanks to the selfless support of the Skull and Bones Society and President Brian this time, otherwise, even if we were able to find Uschem, we would have been exhausted by him. Sitting on the pack horse, watching the battle in front of her, the legendary paladin Elsie bowed her head to Shi Yinghu and bowed slightly.

Paladins are courteous and humble, so they tend to have excellent folk reviews.

"Resisting the erosion of the lower planes is the common responsibility of all human beings, and I am more concerned about what tomb the fallen mage Uschem is hiding in now?"

"If we were to look for them one by one, we would not be able to find Uschem for the seventh time in the worst case, and by that time he would have almost recovered from his injuries, and I don't want to face the power of a legendary spellcaster who has been enhanced by too many dark rituals. ”

“...... This one is more difficult to guess, I'm afraid we can only find them one by one. Elsie thought for a moment and replied a little helplessly.

"It's better to take a gamble than to just try your luck. As far as I know, seven legendary mages besieged 'Demon Eater' Bakett, and the most powerful of them all, although his name is no longer known, his representative symbol remains, and this is it. Taking a book from Finney's hand, Shi Yinghu flipped to one of the pages, pointing to a magic symbol with a lightning bolt in a triangle.

"It is said that it was this powerful spellcaster who eventually died with Bhakt, so let's go straight to this tomb. "After all, it's a snake on the ground, Shi Yinghu knows this area far better than Els, and knows the story that happened here back then, in fact, if it weren't for his lack of knowledge of the fallen mage Uschem, Shi Yinghu would have judged that he would have fled here.

Previously, Elsie was able to judge, but Shi Yinghu couldn't, because Elsie knew the fallen mage far better than Shi Yinghu, not because she was more intelligent or experienced.

Since Kate?? Brian has his own suggestions, and the legendary paladin Els herself has no better way, so the team will naturally choose to accept it.

The group followed the skeletal soldiers in the Valley of Death, passing through one ancient tomb after another, and finally found an ancient mausoleum with triangular and lightning symbols carved on stone pillars.

Once, born more than a thousand years ago, the Faith Gerry Sect was the first wizarding sect in the history of mankind in the Dark World, and they gained their knowledge and power by capturing demons, dissecting their corpses, studying their powers, and understanding all the weaknesses of demons.

At first, the Fisgeri sect was not very powerful, until two prominent wizards of the sect were born, the brothers Herasen and Bakett.

Obsessed with summoning monsters and breaking their original will, Herathon quickly gathered an army of hell that was more powerful than the average Hell Lord, and at his most powerful, many of them were subservient to his power.

The path of Bakett "The Demon Eater" is even crazier than that of his brother Harathan. While Herathan summoned monsters for his own use, Barkt chose to devour the monster's power for his own use, and after killing monsters countless times, his power grew rapidly, quickly growing to the peak of legend.

Because of their experimental research, use, and excavation of the rules of hell and the power of demons, this kind of witchcraft has a unique name - "magic".

Later, humans habitually used "magic" as a general term for most supernatural powers, even if they were not necessarily associated with hell.

And the two brothers Herason and Bhakt also became the most powerful humans of that era, and it is rumored that their strength is even comparable to that of the Demon King.

Sadly, though, in the end, Bhakt finally succumbed to the will of hell because he gained too much dark power, and became a true demon, defeated by his brother the summoner Herathan, pursued by seven legendary mages, and finally died in the valley of death.

Once, Shi Yinghu was very interested in this history, and even wanted to come and explore the Valley of Death, but later failed to make the trip because of many things, but he didn't expect that this time, in the process of chasing down the fallen mage Uschem, he could explore the ancient ruins in the Valley of Death by the way.

Magic, bizarre abilities, devil's tricks.

In many worlds in the middle plane, it is often through the enlightenment of the lower plane that the magic civilization is developed, of course, if you play well, it is a powerful and prosperous magic civilization, and if you accidentally play it and collapse, the entire plane world will fall into collapse and destruction in advance.

Whether the Abyss Demon is not a Purgatory Devil, these lower-plane creatures still have some good vision for the magic they have imparted to humans?

Their only purpose is to drag your world into the end of all things, into the bosom of the abyss.

........................

After entering the tomb, due to the smaller space, many necromantic grandmasters canceled the summoning of some skeleton warriors and most skeleton mages.

In fact, for low- and mid-level necromancers, the Revival Skeleton Mage is a spell slot with no potential and no cultivation value, because the Skeleton Mage is more vulnerable, slower, and even weaker in attack power than the Skeleton Warrior.

But this changed after being promoted to a high-level (third-order) necromancer.

Because the domination skeleton spells of high-level necromancers are often cultivated very high, after they summon a considerable number of skeleton mages, they can control them to a certain extent to carry out concentrated fire strikes and firepower covering suppression.

Unless the skeleton warrior is mutated, after all, it needs to rush over and slash with a knife, and the skeleton mage carries out a long-range spell single attack, as long as the necromancer's control ability is sufficient, it is completely possible for all skeleton mages to gather fire to kill a target...... The lethality of this moment is very terrifying.

Therefore, in the real world, there really are no garbage spells, only incompetent mages. Especially in the dark world, the seven major professional systems that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, each fixed spell position has been tempered thousands of times, and it is relatively cost-effective.

Of course, that's for most people, and for some people with special circumstances and special states, if you let him cultivate according to the standard template, there is no doubt that he will not be able to realize his full potential.

After entering the ancient tomb, because of the sudden increase in the concentration of magic power, the strength and strength of the monsters in the ancient tomb skyrocketed, and at this moment, except for the paladins Elsie and Shi Yinghu, everyone else was already ready to take action, because from the darkness where the fire could not be illuminated in all directions, I don't know when the monsters will emerge.

"This speed is still not good, let's divide the team. The longer the time drags on, the stronger Uschem becomes. Because of the strong dark magic in the ancient tomb, the paladin Elsie felt more and more uncomfortable, she became more and more uneasy, and after walking for a long time, she suddenly said this.

The detachment will certainly make the team's combat effectiveness plummet, but it can speed up the search and reduce Erschem's recovery time, otherwise, in case Kate?? Brian guessed wrong, Uschem is not in this tomb, then, his pursuit mission this time is likely to fail, even if the heyday Uschem can't beat his current lineup, if he wants to retreat calmly, it is not a big problem.

Hearing this, Shi Yinghu turned sideways and stared at the legendary paladin Elsie for a while:

This silver-haired, gray-brown skinned woman is still delicate and beautiful because of the sublimation of life, although she has been tempered by countless swords and blood, but at this moment her decisive words are full of a resolute and unwavering meaning.

"You...... Are you really sure to do this? If we had divided our forces and encountered Uschem, it was likely that some of us would have died in battle. Shi Yinghu's words were carefully evaluated by himself, because once the team is divided, he will inevitably lead a team by himself and Elsie will lead a team, but the strongest in the entire team is himself and her, and now a team, when facing Erschem, it is very likely that someone will be killed or injured because of this.

"For the sake of light, sometimes there will be sacrifices, I entrust the child of Sally to you for the time being, and please also send me a necromancer, I'll vouch with my life that the necromancer of the Skull and Bones Society will not be harmed in the slightest before I die in battle. As she spoke, the woman gave Shi Yinghu a half-kneeling knightly salute.

At this moment, Shi Yinghu had no way to refuse...... Although in terms of identity, he is the president of the Life Skull and Bones Society, and his status is equal to or even higher than that of the other party, but Elsie is a legendary powerhouse, and she asks herself like this, if Shi Yinghu refuses again, he will offend the Bright Sanctuary, the Venu family, and even many legendary powerhouses who value the honor of the legend.

"Since you are determined to do so, then I will not advise you anymore, I will go in the direction of the back side of the gate, and if I don't find it, then go back and go left, how about this arrangement?"

"Thank you for your understanding. ”

"You don't need to thank me for your understanding, I just hope that your choice is the right one, and my brothers will not suffer a big loss because of your choice. In response, Shi Yinghu ordered at the same time:

"Mr. Fercy, please come with the Els Paladin, please take your own preservation. ”

"Knowing that I will grow up, if I see that the situation is wrong, I will never fight hard. "Of the five Necromancers, one of the old men stepped out of the crowd and joined Els's team.

Watching the group disappear into the corridor aisle, Shi Yinghu turned his head and said to the others, "Let's go." ”

He didn't regret taking care of this matter, because even if Elsie didn't come, a fallen mage who was proficient in dark rituals would wander here, and the Life Skull and Bones Society would have to take care of this matter, but Shi Yinghu didn't expect Elsie to be so rigid, in order to pursue the success of the mission, she knew that it was likely to take the life of the genus to fill it, and she did not hesitate.

The team is divided into two points, and the combat pressure borne by each team suddenly increases, fortunately, there are many people on Shi Yinghu's side, necromancers, mercenary bodyguards, stone demons, skeleton soldiers, as long as they don't encounter too strong opponents, necromancers are originally a profession with strong ability to continue fighting, and the so-called necromancer perpetual motion machine is not blown out by the necromancer himself.

The dark half-mausoleum, half-temple building, ancient and solid stone walls, in this mausoleum, there are still many lethal mechanisms left over from distant times: crossbow arrows, poisonous mist, crackling blows and burn on the skeleton's body, but every time a skeleton falls, other skeletons are evoked and replenished.

Shi Yinghu's mutated skeleton steel bone has not fully recovered because it has suffered a certain amount of damage in the previous battle with the Great Demon, so at this moment, it did not rush to the front line to fight, but relied on the ability of "Command" to command the skeleton army to fight, and comprehensively increase the combat strength of the undead army.

At this time, the White Bone Slayer was guarded by a circle of junior brothers around him, because the output space was excellent, and it was wielding a sharp bone axe to soar, such a terrifying physical lethality, which made the four necromantic grandmasters around him swallow their saliva when they saw it.

Mutant skeletons, especially the plural mutant skeletons, this kind of local tyrant gameplay, no necromancer will not be greedy when he sees it, only one of the four of them has a mutated skeleton, or a secondary mutated shield guard, in fact, its combat power has long been unable to keep up with their grandmaster-level cultivation, but it is still regarded as a treasure by the necromancer who has it, and he has to personally apply maintenance ointment every day.

"Lord Grower, why is the probability of your Skeleton Warrior mutating and evolving so high?Is this also due to the influence of the knowledge of the 'Way of Life and Death'?" Seeing Shi Yinghu in the center of the line, thinking about something, the Necromantic Grandmaster Jarwood leaned over to him, and the old man asked in a low voice with a flattering smile.

Because of his words, the ears of the other three old men around him, including a female assassin in the old man's arms, were pricked up.

"That's probably because of that. If the skeleton warrior wants to evolve, he must kill the monster as much as possible, the higher the level of the killing monster, the stronger the combat power, the higher the chance of the skeleton mutation and evolution after killing, and it also has some relationship with the environment, the closer to the lower plane, the area with abundant dark magic, the higher the chance of skeleton mutation and evolution. Shi Yinghu said this while walking, what he said was the truth, and it was indeed experience.

However, hearing this, all the necromantic grandmasters around them felt as if they had been doused with cold water, and all the excitement that had just risen dissipated.

Needless to say, we also know that if a low-level necromancer's skeleton soldiers kill a large number of second- and third-order monsters, it is easier to cause mutation and evolution, and the only problem is: how can a low-level necromancer's skeleton soldiers kill a large number of second- and third-order monsters? This is simply a paradox of opposing conflicts!

If there is really a necromancer who cultivates according to the president's theory, it is not impossible to succeed once or twice, but after a long time, the probability of dying in battle has also greatly increased, and he will die every day, and one day he will really die.

At this time, Shi Yinghu was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if white electricity was passing through his brain, he suddenly stopped and looked up ahead.

The people around him noticed Shi Yinghu's operation and followed, but nothing seemed to happen.

"President ......"

"Shut up. Shi Yinghu listened attentively, and slowly, everyone present felt that the temperature around him had dropped, and at the same time, there was a faint cracking sound in the distance.

"Turn around and run!"

Although Shi Yinghu didn't know what it was, he quickly judged that this was a crisis, and suddenly shouted and ordered.

When an unknown danger strikes, it is the most correct choice to stay away from it as soon as possible.

As for observing it, that's also an option, but you should at least call more people to observe it when it's clear, daylight, and when it's safe to do so.

............

With the sound of shattering and cracking, a dragon-like glacier rushed behind everyone, ice picks were lined up, ice stones were like hammers, and a large amount of liquid-solid ice spurted in, and the speed was amazing.

"Hide to the right and left. Holding the back collar of Al Wood with one hand, Shi Yinghu took the lead in running to the first alley, and then threw the old man in without hesitation, and the others also hid when they saw this.

"Bone Wall!"

The Necromantic Grandmasters cast spells in unison and set up a bone wall in front of them, and after a while, the ice river rushed by, because it ran in a straight line, and the barrier of the bone wall did not really impact everyone's bodies, but even if it was slow, the overflowing cold was still terrifying.

"How so, we're at high tide in the Underground River?" said a frightened female Assassin, only to be denied by the Necromantic Grandmaster beside her the next moment.

"How is it possible, there is Death Canyon outside, not to mention the glacier in a radius of 100 miles, there is no underground water vein, and there was a big war back then, and it was directly steamed dry. ”

"So what's going on?"

After a few moments, the raging glacier roared past, and the bone wall was frozen to steel, but after a few moments it still crumbled and shattered to the ground.

Shi Yinghu walked over and looked outside, if the ice stream just now was hard to bear, even he didn't dare to guarantee that he would survive.

"No, it's not a natural phenomenon, it's the power of spells......"

"The power of spells, how is it possible, even a legendary mage may not be able to" Before Al Wood could finish his words, he saw the guild leader turn around and run back, shouting: "Bone wall, heavy, quick!"

Shi Yinghu himself would not know this spell, this side and the opposite necromantic master cast a spell again, set up multiple bone walls, a moment later, a surging flame dragon swept in front of everyone, its power was terrifying, the momentum was so strong, it was not inferior to the ice river rushing just now, at this moment, no one doubted that this was the power of the spell.

After all, the trajectory is fixed, after the ice is the Yan Dragon, the Yan Dragon is the poisonous flow, and the poisonous flow is followed by lightning, because everyone is hiding on both sides of the roadway, so these spell torrents have been avoided, and the terrain and response barriers are resolved, but they are also suppressed here.

(It seems that we are more unlucky to encounter the fallen mage Uschem, but even if he fully recovers the strength and frequency of such a spell attack, there is no need to consume his strength like crazy, right?)

（............ ）

(Unless, he's got something here that makes it difficult for the powerful to control himself, so it's so crazy to consume.) Shi Yinghu's eyes rolled, and after the second round of ice roaring and rushing in front of him, he suddenly ran out of the broken bone wall.

"Senior Kate!" Seeing this scene, Feeney was frightened and was about to run out, but was pushed back by Shi Yinghu with a reflexive palm.

"Everyone, Wood, watch her!"

"Huh? Yes. Jarwood was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly, and with one finger at Finney, several bone spurs emerged from the ground and controlled Finney in a ring.

Bone prison

Spell: Bone Prison.

Effect: Summons a cage of bones to trap the recipient until the recipient shatters the cage of bones or the necromancer loses control of the spirits in those bones.

If the role of the bone wall is to block damage for the necromancer, and even to separate the battlefield, then the role of the bone dungeon is to control the necromancer's target at a fixed point.

To be honest, there was a time when Shi Yinghu regretted it, although the necromancer's curse spell system was exquisite, but in fact, the toxin and white bone spell system was also very useful, although there were very few people who could use it well, but if it could be used well, the meaning and help for a regular necromancer would be too great.

The bone wall spell can forcibly divide the battlefield, forming a local side to fight more and less, and the bone prison spell is fixed to control the target, once the recipient is in the middle of the spell, even if he is next to the space door, he can't escape at all, unless he can forcibly break the bone cage, but under the same cultivation, it is normally difficult to do.

In addition, the bone wall and bone prison spells can also reverse strengthen the necromancer's core self-protection spell white bone armor, these three spells are related to each other, the more you practice, the stronger you become, if you cultivate to the extreme, the hardness of the bones created will be incredible, and the whole system of spells resists.

Shi Yinghu ran out immediately after the ice flow, and then strode in the direction where the spell came from, these straight-haired spells, the position of the spell caster is the location where the caster exists, close to him, kill him, is the solution to the problem.

However, while Shi Yinghu was striding forward, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Shi Yinghu looked back, but it was the paladin girl Sally who had just run over on the opposite side.

"What are you doing, go back!" Shi Yinghu roared as he strode forward.

"I'm not your subordinate, and I have a fire-resistant aura and a fire-resistant shield, you can use me!" While speaking, Sally took out a cracked ruby from her shabby money bag, and was about to shoot it on her own fluted shield, at this time, the flame dragon in the distance had already spurted over, at this time, both Shi Yinghu and Sally were still far from the second laneway in front of them, this wave of fire spell attacks, they must carry it hard, because it was too late to run back at this time.

"Poor. The splitter snatched the shield from Sally's hand, and the next moment an oval, angular, flawless ruby appeared in Shi Yinghu's hand, and he slapped it into the grooved shield, and at the same time, facing the Yanlong head-on, Shi Yinghu's feet lit up with an anti-fire aura At the same time, he dragged it with his right hand, and inexplicably dragged out a stupid dog with a bewildered and sleepy face.

At this time, Xiaopang is no longer the original image of a little milk dog, but a half-sized dog image, just to let it grow and evolve and let this guy eat rubies, Shi Yinghu consumed hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

"Raise a dog for a thousand days, use a dog for a while, and don't give it to me!"

"Wang ...... Woof...... Wang ??"

At this moment, she was also stunned by the paladin girl Sally on the side, she was first frightened by the fire-resistant aura at Shi Yinghu's feet, then by the half-big dog that was dragged out of his arms, and finally, by Shi Yinghu's action of throwing the dog at the flame dragon.

(Is this to be eaten grilled...... But we scum can't eat this flame intensity, right?) The stunned paladin girl Sally has completely forgotten the previous performance of Chubby, the legendary level of fire, and it is not that she has not eaten it.

"Wow!"

The whirlpool of flames in the whirlpool state rushed up into the night, and swallowed the three-headed hound of hell in the face of the flames, and the violent fire dragon Chubby did not swallow it all, but the flames that overflowed its master and the girl behind it were much less.

"Crouch down. Shi Yinghu held the shield inlaid with rubies, pressed Sally behind him, and waved his hand to meet the onrushing tide of flames.

The flawless ruby, inlaid on the shield, increases the fire resistance by 28 percent, and the shield in Sally's hand itself has the effect of the whole system of resistance twelve, and then superimposed on the fire resistance aura of the two, the fire tide surged, and after a while, Shi Yinghu raised the shield and stood up, and he and Sally behind him, both of them were intact.

"How is that possible...... Aren't you a necromancer?How can you use the Fire Resistance Aura, and besides, the Fire Resistance Aura meets the two together, isn't it a high-level replacement for a low level?Why is the effect of your Fire-Resistance Aura superimposed on mine?" At this moment, Sally looked stunned, because all this in front of her was too much for her to know.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, go first, I don't have a dog to swallow poison. While pulling Sally to continue to run forward, Shi Yinghu picked up the little fat man on the ground who had six eyes turned white, although it was a fire-devouring fire, but he couldn't stand it if he ate too much in one breath.

And on the opposite side of the long alleyway, in a dark hollow, an old mage in a gorgeous robe was standing in the center of the circle, looking at the two people running in the alley through the circle, his eyes were full of madness, and in the center of the circle stood a stone platform, above which lay an ancient book that seemed to be made of bones and human skin.

Title: Devouring the Magic Book.
