Chapter 30: Skeletons
The cave is very dry, and one rock after another forms a series of caves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The mercenaries lit the torches prepared in advance, pressed their fingers against the dry and uneven cave wall, and slowly advanced.
The mage did not enter the cave to explore, and if they wanted to find the dragon flower, the ocean mercenary group would have to search the entire cave. In order to save time, Aldani divided the group into three teams, and Ash cooperated to spread the bones among the three teams.
There were eight of them, Ardani, Ash, and Disease, as well as Bone One, Bone Three, and Bone Five, as well as Elf the Thief and John the Swordsman.
After a few forks in the road, and about half a day's march, they entered a large cavern with a little light. Not long ago, the walls of the cave they touched in their hands were no longer lumps, but shaped like snake-like scales. And the cave here, close to the base of their thighs, is like a flat washed by water droplets, and it is very smooth to the touch.
Elf took a handful of loose dirt from under his feet, touched it with a little dampness, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and said, "There should have been water here not long ago... Looking at the range, it may have been an underground lake, but now it's all dry. ”
Aldani looked at the light in front of him, felt the dullness in the air, and couldn't help but stop everyone and said, "Something is wrong. ”
He sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said, "Well, weird. ”
"It's like... The taste of sulfur. "Gray Road.
"Brimstone... So it's magma? ”
"Possibly."
"If it's magma, that's where the fire element is most surging, and the dragon flower must be there!" John said happily.
Elf rolled his eyes and said, "If only it were that simple." ”
"What?"
"You don't want to think about how hot it must be to evaporate all the water from the lake. It doesn't matter if the dragon flower is near that magma or not. The temperature there must be very high. It must also be very difficult to take dragon flowers. ”
"Anyway, you have to go see it first." Yardani Road.
A group of people were moving towards the light in the huge cave, but after a few minutes, suddenly in the silence, they heard the sound of breaking the ground.
The crowd stopped suddenly, all of them with sharp ears and eyes, and then they clearly heard two or three more earth-breaking sounds, and then the voices continued one after another.
Elf, who had been in contact with a necromancer, turned a little pale, but he couldn't see it in the dark, and he immediately took his dagger into the palm of his hand. "Be careful, it could be a skeleton!" ”
The faint glow of the torches made it impossible for them to see their surroundings. The ash simply made the bones glow with the divine light on them.
But I saw that under the bottom of a large dry lake, among the loose soil, countless white bone hands stretched out!
Snow-white skeletons climbed up from the dirt, and the white bones pierced through the dirt, as if they had come back from the dead. In such a gloomy cavern, it looks eerie and devouring horror.
John screamed damn, and immediately his whole body rose blue, and he and Elf slashed down at the skeletons, one left and one right.
A skeleton that had not yet fully crawled out of the soil was violently shattered. The skeleton on the other side that had just stood firm was cut into several pieces, and in just one face, John and Elf killed three or four skeletons.
The bones scratched their heads. Some curious, some confused.
[These summoned brothers are so weak! 】
[That's right, you see, the one who broke off a piece of his body won't continue to crawl with half of his body! 】
[And that.] Isn't there a thigh bone missing? Can't you take it from another loose skeleton? 】
[Hey! It's so stupid that you can't even dodge! 】
The bones were discussing with great interest. Ash gives them a command to immediately put them into battle.
Skeleton soldiers are the lowest level of undead magic, skeletons are the weakest, but they are superior in quantity and are not afraid of death. It is preferred by many necromancers to act as the first magic. They use these skeleton soldiers as cannon fodder, to consume the opponent's strength, or directly as traps to excite.
Ash did not use a dagger, but a long sword on his back, fluttering lightly between the skeletons.
As the best killer, she has learned many martial arts and is no stranger to the use of long swords. Her movements were dexterous, and although she had no internal strength, a wave sword technique still gushed out of her hand, severing the joints of all the skeletons that approached her, ensuring that they had no chance of standing up again.
In the dim light, the ash was like a tsunami, and everywhere she went, all the skeletons were reduced to the most basic bones, and she just stood there, surrounded by a carpet of bones, which was truly amazing.
When John saw this, he couldn't help but whistle, and then his men attacked the skeletons even harder. As a fellow swordsman, he couldn't let a woman overtake him.
The bones are the easiest to fight, as long as they get close to those skeletons, use the divine power on their bodies to shine a light on them, make the opponent move slowly, and then directly absorb the soul fire in the opponent's eyes without realizing it, and it will be KO!
They were knights after all, and the horses were left outside, and this was not the place for them to charge, so they moved a little slower than the others. But the lethality is the greatest!
Gray faintly took the scene in the field into his eyes, and the disease was the one with the smallest attack power, and he was protected by her side. Each move Aldani makes will bring out a piece of flowing water, dismantling the skeleton with the water element. Comparatively speaking, Elf and John's attack power can only be regarded as decent.
Looking at it again, these skeletons were wearing tattered armor with some faint emblems of the mercenary group on them, apparently buried here after being killed. Therefore, these skeletons are all summoned on the spot, and their strength is not comparable to the skeletons in the undead space.
But as the skeletons fell like a sieve, more skeletons burst out of the dirt, and it was clear that countless people had been killed in the cave, leaving behind piles of bones.
Ash also noticed that among the skeletons, there were a few skeletons that were not wearing armor, but they were all very short, the tallest being just over a meter.
Dwarf? Midget?
There will be aliens here!
"It can't go on like this. What a waste of time! Yaldani yelled and said, "Get out of the way! ”
His whole body shone with an aqua blue magical light, and the long sword in his hand began to turn dark blue.
"Beloved god of water, please listen to my prayers, the ocean roars!"
A blue blue wave surged out from in front of Yaldani, like the tide at high tide, starting with a small wave of water, and violently setting off a huge wave, swallowing everything in front of him.
The ashes were silent, and while the water element was stirring up and steaming, the spiritual power extended out, instantly suppressing the spiritual power of the opponent's necromancer. Without the long-distance control of the necromancer's mental power, the skeletons immediately lost their motivation, and one by one their stiff bodies were swept into the waves.
The waves rolled and formed a whirlpool, stirring the dirt apart, pulling the skeletons up and all the skeletons around them. Not far from the Grey Grey, a terrifying spiral whirlpool was formed, and the impact of the huge waves crashed into one depression after another in the surrounding cave walls.
Yaldani is worthy of being the leader of the top twenty ocean mercenary groups in the continent, and as soon as he strikes, he is a large-scale magic that shatters all the skeletons.
The whole cavern swept by like a typhoon, and with the magic of the ashes, the skeletons could no longer stand.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out and moved on.
"I don't know if anyone else has also encountered the undead." Elf said worriedly.
"Probably, but they probably won't come across such a large number of skeletons, after all, this underground lake is not so easy to form." Yaldani also frowned faintly, worried but not worried. The members of the team he brought this time have all the abilities of the swordsman, and although it will take some time to deal with the skeletons, there will be no danger, and it is always possible to escape if they can't beat them.
What he was more worried about now was that if the necromancer really existed, would he pick the dragon flower directly? Although the dragon flower does not have an effect on the necromancer, it can also increase the necromancer's own resistance to fire magic. If that's the case... Then they have done useless work this time.
While pondering, everyone stepped into the light.
It's a serpentine passage, and it's as if something is burning at the bottom of the passage, and that's where the light comes from.
With light, you can see your surroundings more clearly.
The long passage where they were located was a hollow tubular structure, with dark brown walls and pitted but very hard.
Ash smelled the increasingly strong smell of sulfur in the air, and couldn't help but stop.
"Ash?"
"It's a lava tube cavern."
"Lava pipes... You're saying it's a lava cave? ”
Ash let out an "um" and said, "Don't you smell the sulfur?" ”
Aldani nodded and said, "Smell is smell... But there wasn't a trace of fire around me, so I was a little unsure. ”
Elf and John looked at each other, and Elf said, "Commander, what are you talking about?" What lava tubes? ”
"A lava tube cave is a canopy-like passage formed by a long period of lava flow."
"You mean... Where has lava ever flowed? ”
"Not once, but now."
"What?"
Everyone was amazed, and then followed Ash to speed up his pace and move forward quickly.
"Be careful!"
Just as he was about to approach the light, Ash suddenly raised his voice to alert everyone, and then made a gesture, and Bone Five walked lightly, and then slowly approached the exit of the cave.
There was a sudden muffled snort outside, and then everyone saw Bone Five dragging two mercenaries in.
"How could anyone?"
"Did we get ahead of the crowd?"
"Look, this sign... It's the Wolf Mercenary Regiment! ”
