Chapter 21: Skull Plains

After Theo arranged some things, he took Canaan and Yuna to prepare for Stone Mountain City, and there was no other entourage except them. The more people there are, the greater the variables, and when dealing with danger, I am afraid that we will not be able to take care of them.

As for Sade, no matter how desperately he prayed, he didn't take him with him. Even the palace he built was useless, not only because it was too high-profile, but if it was really dangerous, Theo was not sure that he could bring back this behemoth by "Escape".

Thousand Bones needs people to sit down, so Winter and Thad must stay. After repeatedly instructing the two of them to take strict precautions, the three of them set out on the road.

The journey was not bad, and the few wandering skeletons that I occasionally encountered avoided them far away.

I also passed by the original Six Cities in the East Corner, because they all migrated to Thousand Bones City, it seemed empty and a little bleak.

The city is even more desolate because of a large number of demolitions, like ruins, and it seems to have been empty for a long time.

"Speaking of which, after coming to the Skull Domain, it's the first time I've gone out and walked such a long way!"

Theo, who was speechless all the way, suddenly opened his mouth and sighed.

Canaan had previously proposed to use Void or borrow the natal bone horses of several skeleton knights as mounts, but Theo rejected them. He said that he hadn't walked for a long time, and he missed the feeling of rushing for more than ten years. I also like the realism of sitting on the shoulders of Canaan.

"Little bone, after you become so tall, the scenery I see is different!"

Canaan couldn't help but be reminded of some of the past. Those days in the chaotic space or the void are like yesterday.

But what makes Canaan depressed is that you can sit down, how can you sit on that girl with a piece of it, and don't take such a bully.

Yuna is also rare to be so relaxed, she has been tired lately, she has to command the construction of the city outside, and she has to help Theo beat her legs and rub her shoulders every day inside. Or Theo took pity on her and called her to Canaan's shoulder.

At first, the girl glanced at Canaan obediently and shook her head to say that she didn't dare. Later, when Canaan himself asked her to obey the order, she climbed up with joy.

At this moment, she sat next to Theo and asked faintly:

"My lord, are you really born in the River Styx, and does the great River Styx really still exist?"

The last time Theo told her about it frankly, it made her unbelievable, but she trusted Theo so much, which made her very conflicted.

It's rare to be so free, Yuna blurted out on a whim.

Theo gave her an affirmative look.

"Of course!"

Netherworld, who dares to take the River Styx for pastime.

"Why doesn't the great Styx return to the Netherworld?

Theo patted Yuna's wrist as if to comfort her.

"Styx is still gathering strength, and it will be back one day, rest assured!"

Yuna tilted her head and asked:

"My lord, you were conceived by the great River Styx, and that is the Child of the River Styx, why didn't you command the Netherworld in this capacity, but hide in this corner of the Skull Domain?"

Theo gently stroked Yuna's head.

"Silly girl, if I say I'm a child of the River Styx, others will believe me?"

Yuna pointed to Theo's palm:

"You have a reincarnation book in your hand, and there are also dark arts that only the god of the underworld can master, aren't these all proofs?"

Theo looked at her with a smile.

"Then if I teach the art of the underworld to Little Bone, won't he be able to become a god, and he can also call himself the son of the Styx?"

Apparently Yuna has a different opinion.

"Lord Canaan, he will definitely be the god of the underworld in the future! ”

Canaan couldn't help but interrupt her:

"Don't talk nonsense. Before the adults grow up, we all try not to expose ourselves, otherwise it will invite a catastrophe, the law of survival in the underworld you know how cruel it is, no one will approve of a child of the Styx who does not have the protection of the River Styx and does not have absolute ruling power. The art of the underworld comes from the book of the cycle of life and death, and several of the gods under the first Hades have learned it, and there is no guarantee that they have not passed it on. ”

Theo nodded, his deep eyes glowing with a cold glow.

"Yes! What needs to be guarded against even more is the gods left in the netherworld by the gods and demons 100,000 years ago. After the Styx repelled the Twin Emperors and some of the main gods, they immediately closed the Netherworld Gate, and because of the seal, they could no longer enter, but the remaining gods and demons were all stranded in the underworld, and there were even many main gods and demons at the god level. ”

Yuna was puzzled:

"But I've never heard of gods in the Corpse Domain!

Theo's gaze stared into the distance, as if through the endless void, cast into the unknown.

"They are all in the reincarnation domain, and the passage of the blood domain connected to the reincarnation domain has also been sealed by the last power of the River Styx, so in the past 100,000 years, the Netherworld has not completely fallen. It's just that the five realms of you are fighting each other, which is the saddest thing for the other Styx, and she is powerless to stop it. ”

Yuna turned her face and asked:

"My lord, do we still have the god of the underworld alive?"

Theo wasn't sure either, so he shook his head:

"Maybe there is, maybe not. In the battle of the gods 100,000 years ago, too many gods and spirits fell in the Three Realms who participated in the war, and as the attacked Netherworld, they suffered heavy losses, and even the king-level undead were almost killed and injured, otherwise, how could your corpse domain let a few silver-eyed zombies be able to call the wind and rain?"

"That's because Andrew is an old thief who has a dead weapon in his hand - Death Knell!"

The death knell is one of the ten immortal artifacts of the underworld, and it is the natal weapon of the previous generation of sleeping gods, with the properties of pacifying, hypnotizing, suppressing, and sealing. After the fall of the god of sleep, he disappeared and was not inadvertently obtained by Andrew, so by borrowing the power of the death knell, Andrew and the others teamed up to seal the passage between the corpse domain and the skeleton domain.

"He doesn't control the death knell, he just borrows a little bit of the power of the death knell. ”

For Andrew, Theo was dismissive.

"Your Excellency, you can take back control of Knell, right?"

"Of course!"

"Great, my lord, when are we going to kill Andrew the thief and get the death knell?"

Theo frowned slightly.

"When the Skull Domain is settled, we'll head back to the Corpse Domain. ”

Yuna nodded vigorously, she looked forward to the day coming soon, and she could avenge the dead brothers with her own hands.

Canaan suddenly stopped and asked Theo:

"Boss, two hundred miles to the left, is the Skull Plain in the Eastern Regions, didn't you keep saying that you had time to go there and have a look?

Theo stood up and looked.

"Is Stone Mountain City still far from here?"

"It's not far, dozens of miles ahead. ”

Theologa thought about it, and nodded:

"Then let's go to the Skull Plains first! Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, so let the battle bones wait a few more days. ”

.......

The Skull Plain, in the Skull Domain, there are four pieces, east, west, north and south. The plains were covered with thick skeletons, some broken, some whole, some human-shaped, some animal-like. In the former Skull Plains, countless skeletons were resurrected every day, getting up from the thick bones, and staggering in all directions, not knowing where they came from or where they were going. Legend has it that the Skull Plains are thousands of feet deep from the ground to the ground, all of them are skeletons, they are all from the Six Realms, and the Skull Plains is the burial place of the beings of the Six Realms.

Since the disappearance of the River Styx, the Plains of Skulls has not had a skeleton climb again.

At this moment, Theo and the others were standing in a corner of the Plains of Skulls.

The endless plain was unusually silent, and all that could be seen was gray and gray bones. Some are as small as a few inches, and some are as large as thousands of meters. The wind that hung from nowhere poured into the skeletons' bodies, making one whimper after another.

As Theo stepped over the skeletons, there was a constant clatter of crushing under his feet.

He was about to summon the reincarnation book, when suddenly, Yuna screamed:

"My lord, my lord, look, there's a monster there!"

In the empty plain, Yuna's exclamation was especially poignant in such a quiet place.

Theo followed the direction of her finger and saw a huge bone dragon rise from the pile of skeletons in the distance, fluttering in their direction.

Why did the Bone Dragons appear in the east? Could it be that they were resurrected on the plains just now?

And the angry roar of the bone dragon came far away in the wind, like exploding in the ears.

"You're a monster, your whole family is a monster"

This monster has so good ears?

Oh no, trouble!

Yuna muttered.
