After a few twists and turns, Nai Hezhu was successfully promoted to level 3, and all functions were complete. The only thing that Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info loses is the skill "Heavy Split" of the Skeleton Template. However, after experimenting with creating a skeleton. Du Shen found that the effect of glimpse and heavy stabbing is not bad, especially when the two are combined.

Du Shen felt that the heavy split was more like being replaced by two new skills. Therefore, he thinks that this upgrade is very complete. The only regret is that the elemental pool and the secret realm are completely damaged, and they can no longer be used by future generations.

Du Shen felt a shock in his body, and the chaotic scene in front of him became clear. Du Shen found himself standing in a crater somewhere, surrounded by flat terrain with dense or sparse low plants. The entire basin is about a kilometer in diameter, and the entire basin is not covered by the steep mountain walls on the periphery, so there is not the slightest sunlight in the entire basin.

Du Shen looked up and could see the blue sky and white clouds. It was already afternoon, he estimated. He turned around and saw the gate embedded in the mountain wall, and the stone chamber behind it. Du Shen also sees Garrison and Teresa standing in the stone chamber.

Because the goal was achieved, Du Shen was in a good mood. He happily ran to the exit, followed by dozens of skeletons. The skeleton looked scarred and miserable.

Du Shen sighed as he walked: "The Shadow Castle is really strong. I originally thought it would take a while to upgrade the Nai Ho Zhu. Unexpectedly, in less than two months with Teressa, I would be able to achieve my mid-term goal. ”

When stepping out of the metal gate, Du Shen said directly: "Uncle, my business is done." Where are we going next?"

The three of them stayed in the belly of the mountain for nearly a day and a night. Garrison also wanted to leave early, so he immediately turned around, "Let's go, then." ”

The three of them walked out of the mountainside along the secret passage and the mine. Garrison has been keeping an eye out for movement in Goldsand City. At this time, many residents return, and the city and its surroundings somewhat regain popularity. The trio planned to sneak away. So, Garrison personally took action and demolished the dozens of skeletons that followed Du Shen. The three of them disguised themselves slightly, pretending to be ordinary people, and kept heading south.

As night fell, the trio found a cave near the road to spend the night. The cave is spacious, dry, and has piles of dry dead grass. The three of them found some firewood and lit the fire to bake the dry food they had stolen earlier.

The three of them sat around the fire. Garrison slowly spun the stick, flipping over the wheat cake stuck at one end of the stick, "Du Shen, I'm going to go to a ruin first. There are a lot of treasures left there, which should be of great help to us. The ruins are very dangerous around, but with your abilities, the chances of success are great. So, I'm going to take you on a tour of the ruins. ”

Du Shen glanced at Teressa: "Is it just the two of us?"

Garrison nodded, "The ruins are deep in the wasteland. Teressa's physique is poor, and even if she barely reaches the ruins, she will only become a burden. She would stay in a safe place and wait for us. ”

After a little consideration, it is estimated that Garrison will not deliberately harm himself. He quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll go with my uncle to explore the danger." ”

In the next few days, Du Shen and the three of them went straight south, crossing mountains and mountains. Du Shen and Garrison are both Knights. Teressa's stats, although low, are assisted by Garrison. The three of them crossed the mountains and fields, and they walked faster than ordinary people on the main road.

In less than ten days, the three of them walked through, and ordinary people need at least half a month to travel.

The trio stayed in a city for a while. With Garrison's assistance, Du Shen creates skeletons to restrain passers-by in the suburbs. Over the course of several days, Du Shen carefully gathered enough Force from the city to create 450 new skeletons. When the Nai Ho Zhu was also full of energy, the three of them left the city and continued south.

After nearly half a month, Du Shen and Garrison broke up with Teresa in a remote town. The two carried a large amount of supplies and continued south.

A few kilometers to the south, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, and the vegetation in the eyes was noticeably withered. Du Shen knew that he had stepped into the confines of the wasteland.

The so-called wasteland is mostly a battlefield left by ancient wizards. The wasteland is filled with a lot of sorcery energy, which can have various negative effects on living things. Ordinary people are in the wasteland, and they feel their skin tingling all the time. If you stay too long, most of them will die violently. On the contrary, vegetation and ordinary animals are more adaptable to wasteland.

However, legend has it that many of the vegetation and animals in the depths of the wasteland have mutated to form a terrifying desperate situation. Even if the Earth Knight enters, it will be difficult to survive.

The wasteland area of Manlo World is quite numerous and scattered all over the place. Some of the wasteland is very small, only a few kilometers in radius, and some are extremely vast. Just like the one where Du Shen is now, it is said that it is hundreds of kilometers wide from north to south and thousands of kilometers long from east to west.

Animals living in the wasteland seem to be relatively rare. Du Shen traveled all the way, it was difficult to see birds and animals, and insects and other small animals were rarely found.

Garrison doesn't seem to be familiar with the wasteland. He suddenly stopped to observe several times, and then led Du Shen to change direction.

Walk for a day and rest on a tree branch at night. At noon the next day, the two stepped into a woodland that seemed to have been hit by a wildfire. The woodland is sparsely wooded, and the bark and foliage seem to be covered with a thick layer of black ash. There are trees that have fallen down, exposing their roots. The ground was charred and covered with rotting leaves.

Garrison drew the long sword from his waist, "Du Shen, we're on the periphery of the ruins." Unleash your skeleton and search around. Once you spot the Lava Beast, kill it as soon as possible, and don't let it let out a roar that summons its companions. ”

Garrison had told him a few times before. Du Shen nodded solemnly, and immediately released all 450 skeletons and dispersed them within a radius of two hundred meters. Most skeletons are on the periphery. Explored and opened the way by them, Du Shen and the others cautiously went deep into the ruins.

Walking nearly a kilometer, the skeleton at the forefront found the figure of the lava beast. It was a creature that looked a bit like a wolf, but it was huge, more than three meters long and at least one and a half meters tall at the shoulder. The Lava Beast has no fur on its exterior, and its muscles appear to have been corroded and exposed. At first glance, its muscles resemble slightly blackened gray rocks and appear extremely tight.

Under Du Shen's order, the dozen or so skeletons closest to the Lava Beast slowly approached it. Lava Beast, of course, spotted the skeleton. It stopped, staring at the skeleton. Perhaps the skeleton was moving slowly, and the lava beast cocked its nose and sniffed a few times. It seemed puzzled, stared at the skeleton for a moment, and continued to pace slowly.

Du Shen controls the skeleton and walks towards the Lava Beast at a slower speed. The lava beast paced to itself, as if it didn't exist as a skeleton.

Wait until a dozen skeletons are less than ten meters away from the Lava Beast. They stop at the same time. Du Shen had a thought, and more than a dozen skeletons performed a "glimpse" at the same time. It was really like a glimpse of light, and almost in the blink of an eye, all the skeletons appeared next to the lava beast. At the same time, they use the "Heavy Thorn" to stab the bone sword into the lava beast's body.

"Whew......" the lava beast screamed, jumping and shaking its body. It twisted and bitten, scorching air coming out of its mouth.

Lavamon has at least ten strength attributes. It flails and jumps, throwing off the skeleton that hangs from its body. It twisted and rolled, crushing the skeleton's ribs. It twists its head and bites, easily biting off the skeleton's arms and leg bones. Streams of heat erupted from its mouth, blackening the bones it touched.

However, the skeleton is not afraid of death, does not feel pain, and is not afraid of fire. They faithfully carried out Du Shen's orders and turned over to assassinate. The battle was fierce, and in just a few breaths, the lava beast was assassinated dozens of times. It soon fell to the ground weakly, leaving only a faint whimper.

Du Shen contemplated the whole process, with joys and sorrows. Because of the new skills, in a specific environment, with a special way of fighting, the combat effectiveness of the skeleton seems to have been greatly improved. However, Du Shen found that the battle with the Lava Beast had caused a skeleton to perish directly. The skeletons that survived were all traumatized to some degree or less.

And that's just against a lava beast. According to Garrison's speculation, there should be no less than three hundred Lava Beasts around the entire ruins. In the wasteland, Du Shen can't replenish the Force of Fear. He has a maximum of 470 skeletons.

Thankfully, Lava Beasts don't come together. At most, they were in groups of three or five, and Du Shen and the two of them might not have no hope of arriving at the core area of the ruins.

Du Shen collected his mood, continued to command the skeleton, and moved forward.

As time passed, Du Shen and the others encountered more and more lava beasts. Fortunately, most of the Lava Beasts are solitary, and a few are in groups, and they are also far apart. Lavamon seem to have limited intelligence, and they all treat the Skeleton Swordsman as dead and take it lightly. Du Shen was able to succeed in sneak attacks again and again, killing the lava beast almost every time at the lowest cost.

By dusk. Du Shen estimated that he had killed nearly a hundred lava beasts before and after, and there were less than 320 skeletons left, and all of them had some damage.

Night is about to fall, and there is still a long way to go from the core area of the ruins. Du Shen and the others found a collapsed ruin. The two of them chose a hidden gap and slipped into it. The two drove the skeleton to carry a boulder to close the gap, and hid in the ground to rest. Du Shen also ordered all the skeletons to lie in ambush nearby to keep watch out for the gathering of lava beasts.

There were two battles during the night. Two lava beasts that stumble upon the rift are killed by the skeletons. After dawn, Du Shen and the others drilled out of the gap and continued to move forward.

From early morning to evening, Du Shen killed more than seventy lava beasts one after another. There are less than 220 of his subordinates left.

Fortunately, the two finally arrived at the core area of the ruins. As far as the eye can see, the ruins of the palace are all around. A few palaces, relatively well preserved, look good enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

Garrison leads Du Shen to the highest palace. In the depths of the palace, there is a high platform. Climbing down the stairs to the top of the platform, Du Shen found that in the center of the platform, there was a stone door. The stone door has no doorway and is semi-enclosed, which seems to connect the stone steps leading to the ground.

Garrison pointed to the stone gate and said, "I'll go explore the underground palace." You're just out there and have a casual look. Take care to save your skeleton soldiers, we'll have to rely on them to get back. ”

Du Shen nodded in agreement.
