6. The Field of Bones
The undulating sand dunes slowly become flattened, with the occasional cobblestone polished by the wind and sand.
Hopefully, the two new eyeballs on the Staff of Sand Diving are due to this.
Liu Qingshan and the two sat under the sand dunes for the last time at this time.
"That's a lot of hope! I hope that's your brother or sister?"
"Report to the boss, no. ”
"Alas, there are no people for millions of miles, and now there are so many people at once!"
In front of the sand dunes where Liu Qingshan is hiding, there is a vast and very endless Gobi wilderness, on which there are many skeleton creatures.
It stands to reason that Liu Qingshan should be happy, but now he is half happy and half worried.
The good thing is that you don't have to live that kind of infinite loneliness, monotonous to the point of madness.
Worryingly, according to his observations, all the skeleton creatures that can be seen are not sapient, and rely solely on instinct.
As long as either of them wanders within a certain range of the other, the two bone spirits will definitely tear each other apart, and they will not die until the soul ball of the other side is devoured.
Sometimes multiple skeletons enter that range at the same time, and a big scuffle will occur.
These bones are scattered on the vast Gobi, and from a distance, they are simply dense, and it is difficult to get over!
"Hopefully, we'll just stay here, it's lively and not dangerous. ”
If you can't pass it, you won't come, and according to Liu Qingshan's observation, few bone spirits are willing to get close to the sand dunes.
"Good boss, lots of food!" With the hope of the brain, it doesn't matter what you have to eat.
Liu Qingshan, who decided to settle down, suddenly thought of a question.
"Why didn't they get close to the dunes, and I walked alone in the desert for so long?
Liu Qingshan bit his fingers, frowned and muttered to himself.
"Boss, you can't eat your own fingers, if you're hungry, I'll go and get you some soul balls back. ”
I hope I know how to care about people now, and I know that I can't eat with my fingers.
"Go ahead, be careful. ”
Liu Qingshan waved his hand in agreement and urged him to act, and he didn't forget to be careful when he was done, for fear that he would lose.
"Don't worry, boss. ”
Hope is full of confidence, and the spell disappears from the place with a dive in thought.
Liu Qingshan continued to bite his fingers in place, hoping to come up with a reason, but racked his brains (yes, not now), but he didn't come up with a reason.
In the end, a conclusion was drawn, as the old saying goes: the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles.
"Heaven must have sent me to save the world, yes. Hahahaha, I am really destined to be a man who is going against the sky. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan laughed and was excited.
Please forgive the fantasies of a man who has been tortured for countless days.
"Report to the boss, I'm back. "Hope came out of the sand.
"Let's start eating. ”
"There's no food. ”
"Didn't you go to play the soul ball?"
"I can't beat it. ”
Liu Qingshan was speechless, but he was defeated by the food he was looking for.
"Report to the boss, there are too many of them. ”
Liu Qingshan knocked on Hope's skull with a mallet, and made a clear sound like a wooden fish.
"What about your brain? What about magicians, but what about intelligence?"
"Report to the boss, I don't have a brain. ”
"Still stubborn, go get it again. ”
In the future, he will rely on the soul ball to protect against the cold and heat, which is the only thing that Liu Qingshan has found now that can resist the cold and heat.
Liu Qingshan himself is not idle to do, since he wants to settle down here, he needs to find a relatively safe place as a shelter.
Although the bone spirit is generally not close to the sand dunes, it also needs to take into account the problems of wind and sand and cold and heat.
First of all, it has to be a stable leeward area, the problem of cold and heat is more difficult, and for the time being, it can only be supported by the soul ball.
Liu Qingshan walked around and always found a good leeward area.
"The wind is blocked on three sides, as long as it is not a sandstorm above level 3, it is safe here. ”
After being in this world for so long, Liu Qingshan himself also gave some levels to natural disasters, so as to determine whether to travel or avoid them immediately.
"Go back and tell Hope to go. ”
By the time he got back to square one, Hope was already waiting, squatting on the ground and burying his head, not knowing what he was doing.
Liu Qingshan felt strange, "Hope, what are you doing? Sleeping lazily in the daytime, what about the soul ball?"
"Master, you're back! I thought you thought you thought I was stupid and didn't want me anymore. ”
Hope jumped up from the ground.
"Let me say what are you doing? You don't have to think about something in a serious place!" Liu Qingshan sighed helplessly.
"I'm going to find camp, where's the soul orb?"
Hope opened the mouth on the head of the staff and felt a soul ball jumping with soul fire.
Compared to the bone-eating beast's soul ball, this soul ball is much smaller, and the soul fire is dark white.
"It's only one, and now there are so many, of course you have to eat a lot. Let's go, let's go get a few more. ”
Liu Qingshan returned to the bones of the Gobi with hope.
The hope of diving sand can't bring people now, so he can only walk over, and Liu Qingshan chooses the one closest to the sand dunes as the target.
"I'm going to lure it over, and when you get to this distance, you can attack, understand?"
"Understood the boss. Hope nodded.
Liu Qingshan touched it slowly, in fact, he was a little weak the first time he did it, for fear of making some noise to alarm the nearby bone spirits, this number of people hugged up, and he had to be killed in seconds.
Fortunately, there was no accident, and after reaching a distance of about one meter from the target bone spirit, the target bone spirit immediately turned around and pounced on Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan quickly retreated, but kept a fixed distance, not letting it catch up and not letting it out of the radius of death.
The radius of death, Liu Qingshan's own origin, refers to the distance that the two bone spirits must tear apart when they enter this range.
Taking advantage of his agility and speed, he easily led it to the attack range agreed with Hope.
"Forbidden. ”
Two bone hands with green fire came out of the ground and caught the bone spirit who was chasing Liu Qingshan.
The bone spirit who was chasing was suddenly grabbed by his two feet, and immediately lost his center of gravity, and fell face down with a solid sound.
Liu Qingshan, who was running in front, immediately returned, and while the bone spirit did not get up, a bone knife slashed at the spine, cutting it in two.
The bone spirit on the ground did not lose its ability to move, and grabbed Liu Qingshan's right foot with one hand, trying to struggle.
Liu Qingshan picked up his left foot, turned over the skull of the bone spirit and stabbed it into the soul ball, and the bone spirit stopped moving.
"Soul to soul, Amitabha. ”
It was the first time for Liu Qingshan to attack a humanoid creature, and he was a little burdened.
The bone knife pulled back and brought out a soul orb.
"It's pretty simple, if it's a single one. ”
Having said that, thanks to the cooperation of the two, in fact, it took some work to hope to fight by yourself.
A mage who only has one forbidden skill is actually stronger than those unintelligent bone spirits.
Liu Qingshan handed over the soul ball to Hope first, "Hit two more and go back." ”
"Good boss. "Hopefully, of course, there will be no objections.
"By the way, I hope your magic is advanced?" Liu Qingshan noticed the green flame on his bony hand.
"Report to the boss, no, advanced skills require the consumption of soul balls, and I haven't eaten them yet. ”
"What's going on with that green fire?" "Impossible, it's not advanced, what is it?mutation?!
"Report to the boss, I don't know. ”
"I didn't ask you, I know you don't know, I'll ask myself?" Liu Qingshan didn't expect to know.
"Boss, it's good to be happy. ”
"Well, let's study it later, and now I'll settle the dinner first. ”
Liu Qingshan was speechless and helpless about the ignorance that Hope took for granted, and he still had to use his own brains to be reliable.
