Volume 2 The Call of Fate Chapter 28 Encounter Again (1)

In the forest, a figure ran quickly. Where the figure runs, a long trail of blood can be seen on the ground.

Behind the figure, a knight in full armor and wearing a dome covered helmet rode on the back of a horse covered with a waistcoat, galloping silently, chasing the figure. The weapon in the knight's hand was a huge steel spear, and there were many traces of rust and polishing on the body, indicating that this spear had gone through a long time. And the palm of the knight's spear has been etched by the years, and only the jagged metacarpal bones that shimmer with a faint phosphorescent light remain. In the eye sockets of the knight's visor, a blue-white phosphorus fire can be seen burning. All of this reveals his skeletal identity. Similarly, the part of the horse's legs that is not covered by the vest under the knight's crotch is also exposed by the white bones of the forest, and it is obvious that this galloping war horse is also a skeleton.

This knight and the war horse under his crotch are clearly not creatures from this world, but undead spirits from the world of death - death knights and death war horses.

Although the figure ran extremely fast, the speed of the death horse was not slow, and it was always tightly behind the figure. The figure tried several times to shake off the pursuers behind him, but to no avail.

A cliff waterfall with a drop of hundreds of meters suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the path of the figure. The figure stopped, looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no way out, he glanced back at the pursuers behind him, and then jumped down the waterfall without the slightest hesitation, and jumped into the river below the cliff.

The Death Knight walked to the cliff and looked at the rushing waterfall, but did not dare to jump down.

In the air not far from the Death Knight, there was a sudden fluctuation, and then a faint shadow that was almost transparent gradually became clear, outlining the figure of an undead.

The undead was not the same skeleton as the Death Knight, his hair was thin, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his eyes were also burning flames, his bloodless face was so shriveled that it seemed to have only a layer of skin on his bones, and he was very emaciated, looking like a dried corpse that had lost its moisture. He was dressed in a patchy and faded leather armor with a short sword stuck at each side of his waist, and he looked like an undead thief.

The undead thief walked to a boulder by the waterfall and leaned into the deep pool below the cliff, a hint of hesitation could be seen on his lifeless face. He glanced sideways at the Death Knight, his lips twitching silently, as if speaking to the Death Knight. The Death Knight also pulled up his visor, revealing the white skull under the helmet, and the upper and lower jaws clicked together, also silently telling something.

The two undead exchanged spirits, and after a moment of conversation, they seemed to agree on something, and at the same time turned around and returned to the depths of the forest the way they came.

......

After entering the forest near the Stonemane Clan, the Blade followed the route outlined by Marana, and it didn't take much effort to find the location where the battle between the warriors of the Stonemane Clan and the undead broke out. But after he wandered around the area for a day, not to mention the lair of the undead, not even half of the bones of the undead were found. He had to expand his search and gradually move deeper into the forest.

On the third day of entering the forest, the blade passed through a river. This river in the forest is one of many snow-water rivers formed by the melting of snow from the peaks of the Alterac Mountains at high altitudes, and the current is so fast that from time to time fat salmon leap out of the water. It was noon, and Blade was feeling a little hungry, and after seeing the fat salmon, he planned to finish his lunch here.

Blade pulled out his scimitar and cut off a branch about two meters long from a large tree on the bank of the river, and after cutting off all the branches and leaves, the branch suddenly turned into a stick. The blade then cut one end of the stick a little from the middle, and sharpened each of the two forks to make a simple harpoon. Blade stood on the bank of the river with a harpoon in his hand, and slowly roamed the surface of the water with his eyes, until he found the trace of a salmon swimming under the aquatic grass on the riverbank, and stabbed the harpoon into the water, and the salmon was forked ashore.

The blade was concocted in the same way, and a few salmon were forked from the river one after another, and after estimating that it was enough to eat enough, he took out two flintstones from the space bag he carried, struck them a few times, and ignited a pile of dead grass with sparks, and then added a few branches, and the fire gradually grew larger.

The sharp blade squatted on the ground, directly used the sharp fingers and claws to cut the belly of a salmon and remove the scales, and then used a branch to string the salmon, and was about to put the salmon rack on the fire to barbecue, when suddenly his expression moved, and he looked up at the upper reaches of the Xueshui River.

About a mile away from the river upstream, a huge grizzly bear came out of the woods and went down the river, hunting salmon in the shallow waters of the riverbank. Measuring about two meters tall at the shoulder and five meters long, this grizzly bear is much larger than the average bear.

Blade was slightly taken aback when he saw the huge grizzly bear. Because it is a powerful magical beast called the Great Power Bear, it is born with great strength, and it is not a problem to open mountains and crack stones, and break gold and iron. In addition, the Mighty Bear can also unleash an earth-based powerful magic 'Earth Shake', which can cause the earth to crack and mountain peaks to collapse, and its comprehensive combat power is equivalent to the seventh level of orcs or human warriors, and has stepped into the ranks of high-level magical beasts.

Accidentally encountering a giant bear, the blade was a little surprised, but it was not panicked. He and Juli Bear are both level 7 combat power, but when the two sides fight, Juli Bear will never be his opponent. It's just that it's still a lot of work to defeat a giant bear, and he still has to do to find the undead, so he doesn't want to make a fuss. But if the giant bear came to attack him without knowing whether he was alive or dead, he wouldn't mind changing his salmon meal to a bear meat meal.

Juli Bear also saw the blade from afar. Although one person and one bear were still far away, and there was a river of snow water in the middle, under the undisguised aura of the blade, the giant bear also felt the power of the blade. So Juli Bear abandoned the idea of using the werewolf as food when he first saw him, and continued to catch salmon on the riverbank.

Blade and Mighty Bear are next to each other across the river, keeping each other's well water from the river.

Juli Bear grabbed a salmon from the snowy river, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and looked at a reed bush on the other side of the river, and then jumped into the depths of the icy snowwater river with a bang, and swam straight to the other side of the river.
