Chapter VI: Crisis
The walls of the Thousand Bones City are made of piles of white bones, although they are tall, they are not neat at all, and from the outside, they are not spectacular or rough.
Of course, it is just a symbol of power. The Skull Domain doesn't care about whether it's simple or flashy in appearance.
The city walls were garrisoned by skeleton soldiers, some armed with bone swords, some with a large bone bow, which was considered two different types of troops: close and long.
However, excluding the weapons, Theo felt that compared with the broken bones hanging on the city wall, it was really a bit silly to distinguish between those who were moving and those who were not moving.
The houses in the city are all mounds of earth of high or low, and there are simple caves at the entrance, and some skeletons are coming in and out of the holes from time to time, which looks comical and humble.
After entering the city, the skeletons along the way bowed down one after another, and I don't know if they were the skeleton knight, or Canaan.
Anyway, Theo knew, not kneeling him and Yuna.
One of the skeletons in a hurry accidentally crashed into the Skeleton Knight's mount, causing the skeleton horse to stomp its skull to pieces.
The castle lord's palace is also like the outer wall, made of broken white bones, of course, much more elaborate than the outer wall.
General Qiangu sat on the white bone chair, and below stood two rows of neatly aligned skeleton knights, each holding a sharp bone blade and a tall war horse, which looked even more majestic.
"Your honorable master, this is Lord Theo, who helped us win the battle this time. ”
The Skeleton Knight fell off his horse and knelt down and introduced Theo to General Thousand Bone. In his understanding, although Canaan was a skeleton general, his servants were not qualified to be introduced.
And along the way, the Skeleton Knight has a very good impression of Theo. As a superior, Theo did not dictate to himself, but always had a dialogue on an equal footing. This was unimaginable in the world of skeletons, and he was flattered.
The Thousand Bone General's bone body is not huge, and his predecessor should be a demon tiger, but as a high-level skeleton general, Theo and the others do not dare to underestimate it.
The dark green soul fire of the Thousand Bone General was beating slightly, and he was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Theo sat on Canaan's shoulder and clenched his fists:
"Hello!
Theo's lazy tone finally made Thousand Bone's eyes take his eyes off Canaan and look at him, and a deep voice sounded from his throat:
"Your Excellency, do you know that the Skull Realm does not welcome any undead other than skeletons to enter, especially my Thousand Bones City. ”
Theo shrugged his shoulders indifferently and spread his hands:
"I've come in, what else can I do?"
Thousand Bones let out an eerie laugh.
"Of course it's a good thing, after devouring the soul fire of your friend, this city lord is one step closer to advancement. ”
Yuna immediately tensed up and slowly approached Canaan's side.
In this atmosphere, the skeleton knight hurriedly spoke:
"Dear hosts, they are all guests I have brought and want to help you. That general is a low-rank and doesn't improve your advancement much, but he can become your most powerful arm and add another general to our Thousand Bones City. ”
Theo was surprised that the skeleton knight said this. What he had thought earlier was that the skeleton knight had deliberately brought them to the City of Thousand Bones, so that the Thousand Bones could devour Canaan and then take credit. Unexpectedly, he had this in mind.
didn't wait for Qiangu to reply, Theo opened his mouth first:
"Knight, do you remember how the lord of the castle advanced to become a skeleton general?"
The skeleton knight's body trembled, and he was already enlightened.
It is precisely because Qiangu has that past that he is even more wary of the skeletons around him, no matter how fierce the battle is, he can not play as much as possible, and try not to get injured when he plays, and he will not return to the city if he is injured, but hide somewhere to heal before appearing. How can he rest assured that there is a skeleton next to him who is also a general? That's not a help, it's a nail!
Theo turned his head and said to Thousand Bone:
"Just now the city lord said that he wanted to devour my subordinates, so confident, not afraid of being devoured by my subordinates?"
Thousand Bones looked up and laughed:
"Hahahaha, it's up to you?"
I saw a thousand bones rise up, and a pair of bone claws broke away from the body and quickly grabbed Theo. The preemptive strike is his combat experience accumulated over the years.
"Little bone, beat him!"
Theo jumped off Canaan in a fit of rage, pulling Yuna and hiding away.
Canaan can finally have a hearty fight, not as bitterly as he had fought with Elantra before.
After knocking away the tiger claws of the thousand bones, the two skeletons slammed into each other tentatively, and both took a few steps back. The strength of a thousand bones is greater, but the bones of Canaan are harder.
Thousand Bones roared wildly and pounced again. Canaan turned slightly sideways, dodging the assassination of the tiger's claws, and then grabbed the back of the thousand bones, slashed a few times in the air, and threw it out heavily.
At this time, the survival rules of the skeleton domain are reflected, the two skeletons will fight fiercely together, and the rest of the skeleton knights do not participate in the battle, but appropriately stay away from the center. They are also almost cannon fodder when they go up, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses, and it doesn't matter who devours whom.
They're still just subordinates, just a different master.
The body of the thousand bones smashed a large hole in the palace and threw it outside the palace, and the huge roar startled the skeletons.
Canaan walked out slowly, the sharp bone spur in his hand pointing straight at the Thousand Bone.
Thousand bones got up in embarrassment and said fiercely:
"Very well, you have succeeded in provoking General Ben. Today I will let you know what is the difference between high-order and low-order. ”
His bones continued to swell, and he saw that he was more than Canaan's height, and shone with a silver light, representing the identity of a high-ranking skeleton general.
"Bone Technique - Thousand Blades"
Four huge tiger claws turned into flying blades in the sky, stabbing at Canaan in a dense manner.
Canaan's strength has not yet recovered enough to release "fear", and all he has just relied on is the strength of his bone body. Countless sharp blades stabbed violently on his bone body, and with the blessing of bone skills, the strength increased several times, seeing Canaan's bone arm being cut off, and the leg bone being shattered, like an ordinary skeleton, shattered into a pile of bones.
This scene happened to be reflected in Yuna's eyes as she walked out of the palace, and she covered her mouth and tears welled up in her eyes. This big man, such a majestic body, is now shattered into a pile of bone mud, leaving only a hollow skull that falls crookedly to the side, and the soul fire in his eyes is suddenly extinguished.
"I can't help myself. It's a pity that even the soul fire was extinguished. ”
Yuna summoned a strange short sword and rushed towards Thousand Bones without fear of death. Before she could get close, she was slapped by a thousand bones, and fell heavily to the ground, and the huge impact force caused her internal organs to crack inch by inch, spitting out a large mouthful of emerald blood.
Thousand Bones sneered disdainfully:
"In such a hurry to send you to death? General Ben is still going to keep you in captivity with another little zombie as a pet! Don't worry, I won't kill you!"
"When you say the other little zombie, do you mean me?"
Theo slowly came to Yuna's side and helped her up. Turning his head and grinning at Thousand Bone.
