Guo Zixiang, who was asleep, was woken up by the constant strange sound, he sat up from the humble bunk with his hands on his hands, and shook his head.

Yesterday he had worked hard to fall asleep on this stiff ground full of cold, but now he suddenly woke up in a dream, and naturally he was angry.

He looked at Kane, who was still asleep next to him, and said to himself, what a dead ghost, this can't wake you up. Then he stood up and looked out the window.

Through the faint moonlight, Guo Zixiang saw a group of skeletons with tattered weapons attacking around the cabin they were in.

"Uncle Kane, wake up, it's full of skeletons attacking our cabin."

Guo Zixiang, who was completely awake by the current situation, immediately shouted at Kane, who was still asleep.

"What's the noise? Don't worry, I haven't seen them attack in so many years, so you can sleep in peace. ”

Faced with such a critical situation, Kane just turned over, turned his back to Guo Zixiang, and gave a vague response.

Guo Zixiang looked confused, he looked at the skeletons outside, the white swaying under the moonlight, there were dozens of them, this is also a small scene?

However, looking at Kane's appearance, it seems that he does not intend to deal with it, but continues to sleep.

So what should I do?

With this question, the nervous Guo Zixiang didn't dare to rest at all, he kept guarding the window, and his heart seemed to be beating with the stroke of the sword.

……

Sunlight shone into the cabin.

"Ah......h

Kane let out a long yawn and sat up with his sleepy eyes open and stretched.

"It's another beautiful day, but why don't you seem to have a good rest, you seem to have become a panda after only one night's work."

Kane's eyes opened, and he directly saw Guo Zixiang standing by the window like a sculpture, and when he saw this appearance of staying up too late, he couldn't help but ask.

"Are you embarrassed to say that you think everyone is like you, and when you close your eyes, you can't hear anything outside. I've never experienced anything like this, I've been attacked outside, I've been scared, how can I have a good rest. ”

The sculpture came to life in an instant when it heard the voice, and its words were full of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, well, I forgot to tell you, there is no place in this land that is absolutely safe. Negative energy has eroded the entire land of bones, and at all times, skeletons will rise from the ground and turn the living who pass by into their own kind. ”

Kane heard Guo Zixiang's dissatisfaction, and only smiled slightly, stood up and began to put on his equipment.

"Okay, now that you're awake, let's start today's morning exercise."

"Morning exercise, what is that, besides, there are skeletons outside, how can there be a place for us to exercise in the morning."

"Our morning exercise is to kill these skeletons, and every night is the time for skeletons to be resurrected in large numbers, so I have to clean up a little bit every morning, this is my daily morning exercise. As long as you clean it up this time, you don't have to worry about such a large number of skeletons blocking the road during the day. ”

During the conversation, Kane had once again changed into the outfit Guo Zixiang had when he first saw him, and he walked to the door and motioned for Guo Zixiang to keep up with him.

"What, do you want me to fight so many skeletons with just these two hands? Anyway, my instructor told me, "You have the equipment you have ready for training." So, what about equipment? ”

The corners of Guo Zixiang's mouth twitched, he suddenly thought of the conversation with the Fire God before, and asked.

"Oh, the equipment, isn't it all out there? This was once the battlefield of the Cold Weapon War, and countless corpses slept on the ground with the weapons and armor they had fought for many years. Now he is driven by negative energy to turn into a skeleton, and he is also reborn with his own equipment. ”

"Huh? You want me to wear dead man's gear, and why are all the ordinary skeletons I encountered yesterday with a white skeleton empty. ”

Guo Zixiang couldn't believe it, such equipment can also be used? I don't know how many years of erosion have passed, and these equipment look dilapidated, how can they continue to be used?

"Big husband cute big, isn't what I'm wearing also their equipment? Think of it as an RPG, these are mobs, and their weapons and equipment are our trophies. As for the skeletons you encountered yesterday, they were all skeletons that had already been knocked down, but they were only resurrected, so naturally they didn't have their own equipment. ”

Kane comforted Guo Zixiang a little, and then opened the door, and a knife flash flashed directly.

"It's not good enough, these guys."

Kane dodged the skeleton's knife sideways, and directly blasted the opponent's skull with a hammer, and the skeleton that was still standing before collapsed instantly.

"No, you just take this knife first, if it's broken, there's more outside."

After that, Kane picked up the iron knife on the ground with his fingers, threw it in front of Guo Zixiang, and strode out directly, starting the morning exercise in his mouth.

Hey, I've always known weird guys like this, but forget it, let's go out with him, just think of it as a workout.

Guo Zixiang thought like this, bent down to pick up the rusty iron knife on the ground, weighed it a little, and rushed out.

……

"Young man, it seems that your body is not very good, just such a little exercise, you can't stand it."

Kane easily killed the last standing deceased, looked back at Guo Zixiang, who was panting, and shook his head as he spoke.

"Whew, whew...... Can this also be counted as a little exercise? I really didn't expect it, there were only a few dozen of them from the inside, but I didn't expect that there was a big circle outside, and my hands were almost numb from the chopping, you see I had changed two weapons. I kind of know why you use a hammer as your weapon, and it's this powerful blunt weapon that works best against this kind of enemy. ”

Guo Zixiang supported his knees with both hands, panting heavily, and when he saw the other party's posture, he also replied angrily.

"No, it's just because I'm a blacksmith, and that's my guy who eats and watches the house. More than ten years ago, when the Land of Bones had not yet taken shape, my skills were famous for a radius of several kilometers, but then these guys appeared, which naturally brought destruction. ”

Kane shook the hammer in his hand, looking like he was reminiscing about the past.

"Ha, did this place appear more than ten years ago?"

Guo Zixiang felt very strange that there was no news about such a large-scale skeleton, and he thought it had only happened in the last few months.

"Yes, probably because of the second shock, the whole world has changed dramatically, and this is one of the anomalies. In fact, it was originally a quiet and peaceful town, and it had a lot of reputation for producing fine wood, but everything was ruined on that day. ”

Kane's eyes were full of melancholy and helplessness, and it was obvious that it was a past that he did not want to look back on.

"So, what about the ordinary people before here?"

"Death is death, escape is escaped, but after that, this place was sealed by the heroes who rushed in, and ordinary people from the outside world could no longer reach this place, which can be regarded as a lot less panic. However, the capacity of this seal is limited, and if it exceeds a certain number, the seal will be broken, so the organization has always issued missions to come here to kill skeletons. ”

"So are these skeletons just dying and regenerating again and again, and living and dying again and again? When will there be an end, can't we get rid of them all at once? ”

"No, the speed of rebirth is too fast, but I think as long as I keep killing every day and keep going, the number of skeletons in this land will definitely decrease. This is also my long-standing wish, to purify my homeland, and after my long efforts, there are many fewer skeletons here than before. ”

"So, uncle, are you also an ordinary person in this land?"

"That's right, at that time, I kept killing skeletons, and skeletons were still growing at a visible rate, and when I was in danger, someone suddenly told me that I could have superhuman strength, and as long as I continued to persevere, I would definitely be able to fulfill my wishes."

"I see, but why didn't the hero who sealed here directly solve the problem of this land at once, after all, if you have the strength of an A-class hero or an S-class hero, it's very simple to clear all this."

Guo Zixiang was full of questions, he didn't know why he didn't solve this problem once and for all, even though he had enough power to change this land of bones.

"It's useless, this land is shrouded in negative energy, if someone who exceeds a certain strength comes in, they will be corroded by this force, slowly losing their own strength, and even losing their own lives. Because of this, this place has also become a training place for D-class heroes, but most of the people nowadays don't have the perseverance to complete this boring task, and in the end, I am the only one left here. ”

Kane was also very helpless, and he explained the situation in the Land of Bones to Guo Zixiang. Then he straightened up and looked at the sky, it was dark, he said with emotion.

"After all, there's no reason for anyone else to stay in such a dark place all the time, a place that is completely derailed from the world, and even the food has to be delivered once a week, which is too hard. Only I, a native full of hatred, have the determination and perseverance to stick to it, and this is the oath of me, the skeleton killer, that such a thing should not exist in this world at all. ”

Kane's face was full of determination, and the worn iron helmet could no longer stop his sharp, confident eyes.

What a great man, who knows that he can't do it, and guards this land alone. Compared to him, my dream of saving the world is nothing short of bragging. However, wouldn't he feel lonely like this?

Guo Zixiang said the question in his heart.

"Uncle Kane, aren't you lonely here alone?"

"The so-called loneliness, loneliness is the king, and loneliness is unique, so loneliness is a unique king. Only by enjoying solitude can you become a true king. Although Kane's face was pale, when he said this, his face was also red with a little bit of blood and qi surging with excitement.

A unique king? Maybe one day, I'll do the same.

Guo Zixiang thought.
