Chapter 22
chapter22
The skeletons were tall and short, some of them lacked legs, some of them lacked arms, and some of them even lost their heads.
The army of skeletons all bared their teeth and claws, and they had no weapons at their disposal, so they wrenched one of their ribs to use as a sword, and they staggered and pressed into the three of Takales, their upper and lower jawbones clashing continuously, simulating a "clucking" laugh.
Dumbfounded, Takales said, "Why are there skeletons in the Forest of Horrors?" Are these the bones of people who died in the forest of terror? â
"Don't ask me! Oh my God, what are we going to do? Escape? â
Takales said, "What can you do if you don't run away?! â
Takales and Monhama held one of Monroe's arms, and once again ushered in the fate of running wildly. The army of skeletons is numerous, but they all walk slowly, giving Tacalles plenty of time to run. However, the skeletons seem to have their own tracking skills, and no matter how far the Takales throw them, they can always follow them slowly to the right place.
"They are tougher than the grey tree serpent!" said Monhama! â
"Yes," said Takales, "at least the Greytree Serpent will be diverted by other prey!" There were many other beasts along the way, but the skeletons didn't squint, just chased us, what is the reason for this? â
"They are not going to take our flesh," said Monthama. â
"You think too much, it's not a ghost story!" said Tacales. â
"How different is this horror forest from a ghost story?" â
Takales choked.
Tacales and Monhama still have the energy to argue, but Monroe is really not good, he even has blood when he breathes, which is not a good sign.
Monroe said intermittently, "Skeletons...... Skeletons are ...... inanimate, they ...... It's impossible to move around on your own. â
Takales asked, "And what are the skeletons we see?" Is it fake? â
Monroe waved his hand and said, "No, someone is manipulating them." â
"Manipulation?" Takales frowned slightly, "You mean there are wizards in this horror forest?!" â
Monroe nodded.
Wizards and magicians are in the same vein, two branches of magic, but the magical elements they use are very different. Sorcerers collect the dark elements between heaven and earth, and use black magic as a means of attack, such as summoning the souls of the dead, manipulating the corpses of the dead, etc.; Magicians use the five natural elements of wind, wood, water, fire, and thunder, which can be used for various purposes such as attack, defense, and support.
Of the seven classes, wizards are the least common, and even large mercenary groups do not have more than double digits. Because the people who become wizards are generally withdrawn and unsociable, and rarely take the initiative to appear in front of people, the other point is that the wizard's magic use method is really unpleasant, and disturbing the dead or something is considered an unforgivable crime by many people, not to mention that wizards use the dead to fight? This is naked blasphemy!
Tacales said, "Monroe, are you sure you're not mistaken?" You must know that the number of dead that a third-order wizard can control is five to seven, a second-order wizard is eight to twenty, and a first-order wizard is twenty-one to fifty. How many skeletons are there chasing us? At least, there are a hundred! This is something that only a special-level wizard can do, and there are no zĂ i special-level wizards on the current Star Luo Continent! â
Monroe said, "Wizards manipulate skeletons, that's the only plausible theory, otherwise why would these skeletons besiege us in an organized and planned way?" â
As soon as Monroe said this, both Takales and Monhama fell silent. The pursuit of the skeleton army is indeed orderly, they are lined up in a neat formation, like well-trained soldiers, if they are not controlled by others, could it be that they really have their own consciousness? This is certainly impossible! How can a species that doesn't even have a brain be conscious?!
"So that means there's a wizard of the highest rank in this horror forest?" â
Monroe said, "I don't know. â
"If a wizard wants to kill us, we won't be able to escape," said Takales. â
Monroe said, "That's just right...... Ahem, then let's not run away, maybe this wizard has been alone in the horror forest for too long and is lonely and wants to find someone to talk to him. â
"Then this is too simple and crude!" â
When Tacales and the others found out that the man behind the army of skeletons was a special wizard, they all gave up resisting, all they had to do was take a gamble! Betting on this wizard is not about wanting their lives, betting on this wizard is like wanting to find a living person to talk about life, as Monroe said. So they stopped running endlessly, let the army of skeletons surround them, and lifted all three of them above their heads like ants carrying food, and went back in a great way.
Monthama said pessimistically: "Is this going to put us on a fire for human flesh barbecue?" â
"I don't think skeletons need to eat meat," Takales said. â
Monthama said, "Do wizards eat human flesh?" â
Takares said, "Let's pray for the blessing of the great god Xingluo. â
Monroe said, "You are not believers, and the great god of Star Luo will not bless you." â
Monhama said, "Is it too late to become a believer? â
Monroe said, "It's too late. â
The three of them were having fun in bitterness, chatting with each other, and went down to the unknown ahead under the "escort" of the skeleton army.
Filsey and Lub lurked behind a large tree, and watched the three of Takales go away, their expressions solemn as they never had seen before.
Filsey asked, "What do you think?" â
Lub said, "Wizard. â
Filsi said: "There is no such powerful wizard as ZĂ i on the Star Luo Continent. â
Lub said, "What is that not a wizard?" â
"I don't know," Filcy said. â
Lub said, "Oh, there are things you don't know. â
"I'm not omniscient," Filsie said. â
Firsey and Lub had seen Tacales for a long time, and they had wanted to meet the three, but they had only gone a few steps before they spotted the legion of skeletons waving their ribs and looking very happy. Both Filsey and Lub were surprised, and did not step forward for a while, and when they had planned to come up with a surprise sneak attack to disrupt the formation of the skeleton army to save the three of them, they saw that the skeleton army had lifted the three of them and walked back, and it was not as if they were trying to hurt Tacales. Filsey and Lub put aside the idea of saving people for the time being, and quietly followed the army of skeletons to see what they were going to do.
The army of skeletons walks very slowly, and they have to rest when they walk, and sometimes skeletons and skeletons fight when they rest, you hit me and I push yours, and the bones fly all over the sky. Filsey and Lub were following impatiently, their contemplation was about to bottom, and if they didn't get something new from Monroe, they would be swallowed up by the extreme emotions of the Forest of Terror!
Filsie said, "How long do you estimate our meditation incense will last?" â
Lubu held up three fingers, which represented thirty minutes.
"The situation is not good for us," Filsi said. â
Lub said, "Well, do you want to kill it?" â
"No, bear with me," said Filsie, "I'm doing a water spell when the contemplative incense runs out, and it'll keep us going for another ten minutes." â
Lub didn't quite understand the connection between water magic and holding on for another twenty minutes, but he didn't ask, he wasn't a curious person in the first place, but after thirty minutes, he regretted it, he should have asked first.
Both Filsey and Lub have two transparent balls of water on their heads, which are made up of a thin layer of water with a hollow middle, which retains air for people to breathe. Filsie sprinkled the remaining contemplative incense in their respective water balloons, which made the fragrance last a little, but this made the two of them stupid, and because of the water in front of them, they couldn't really see things, the whole world was crooked, and they walked crookedly. If someone touches them at this time, they will definitely think that they are two big-headed fish monsters that have climbed ashore by mistake.
Lub said, "It's stupid. "There is a certain impediment to the propagation of sound in the water, which makes Lub have to speak loudly in order to reach Filsie's ears.
"There's no way around it," Filsey said. â
Lub said, "What if the skeleton army hasn't reached its destination before the water balloon runs out of air?" â
Filsey said, "Then we'll have to take the risk and save people, oh, the first person to save must be Monroe, and he will have to concentrate on incense." â
Lub said sarcastically, "What about Takales? Isn't he your favorite beauty? â
Filsey said, "The premise of appreciating beauty is that my life is still alive." â
As the air in the hollow balloon gets muddy, both Filsey and Lub are in a state of readiness.
Filsey drew his wand, and Lub gripped his dagger tightly, just waiting for the balloon to break, and they would rush into the army of skeletons!
Suddenly, the army of skeletons scattered, and they passed the three of Takares from the back to the front as if they were passing torches, and when Takales and them reached the front, the skeletons behind them "crackled" and fell apart, turning into white bones that could not be distinguished. The scene was undoubtedly creepy, and several humans present had goosebumps.
Monhama shouted, "What are they doing here? â
"Don't guess what the skeleton thinks! â
"What kind of heart does the skeleton have?!" â
Tacales said, "Heart of the Skeleton! â
One by one, the skeletons fell, and at last there were only a dozen left, and they laid down the three of Tacales, and formed a circle to encircle the three of them, shaking their hand bones and leg bones rhythmically, as if they were doing a strange dance. After a few minutes of dancing, when the dance was over, they approached Takarlesles again, and pushed them on their backs, forcing them forward.
Ahead of them was a dark path, and at the end of the path was a huge rock, and the three of them had been pushed by the skeleton to the bottom of the stone, which was a head taller than Monhama.
Takales looked up and looked up, and just as he wondered why the skeletons had let them here, a face hung down from the stone!
