Chapter X: Investigation

It rained all night.

When Lu Yang walked out of the house in the morning, the ground was muddy.

"It's made it harder for me to investigate." Lu Yang sighed secretly.

Yorick walked behind Lu Yang and said lightly, "Are you still going out?" ”

When Lu Yang got up, he put forward the idea of wanting to go out, and the rhetoric was of course to increase his combat experience.

"Hmm." Although the road conditions are bad, he doesn't plan to give up, and he only has three days in total: "But let's take a walk around this mountain today." ”

This can be regarded as a reason for his investigation.

Otherwise, going in one direction as usual will not do anything at all for what he wants to know.

Yorick certainly didn't have a big deal.

In fact, Yorick rarely interfered with Lu Yang's decisions, and most of the time he was silently observing from the sidelines.

The mountain they are on is not high, Lu Yang is estimated to be only about 400 meters, but it does not exist alone, but a continuous mountain range.

Elsewhere, after a rain, the sky is crisp and the air is fresh. But that would never be the case in Shadow Isle.

The land of Shadow Isle has been corrupted by the power of the necromancy, like the smell of leaves that have been in the rainforest for a long time. The rain washed away the dry layer on the surface, which in turn allowed the smell to come out.

At the moment, the air is filled with this unpleasant smell.

Walking on it, one foot deep and one foot shallow, is not only dirty, but also tiring.

Fortunately, Lu Yang's physical strength is good now, otherwise just going down the mountain would make him out of breath.

He tried to pick up the hard ground as much as he could, but there was more and more stinky mud on his body. Yorick, on the other hand, walked casually, but without the slightest stain.

Every time he landed, a layer of mist appeared on the soles of his feet, and no matter how muddy the ground he stepped on, it was like walking on the ground.

"Magic works so well!"

Lu Yang looked at him with envy from time to time: "I don't know, I can learn magic in the future." ”

Of course, Sword Immortal and Flying Sword are also very handsome, but it seems that it would be good if they could learn magic part-time.

This thought was fleeting.

Most of the time, Lu Yang carefully observed the surrounding environment to determine whether it would be helpful for him to escape.

Because he used to be curious to watch non-stop, now his actions don't seem very abrupt.

It's just that I used to look at the scenery with the eyes of appreciation, but now I look at the terrain with the eyes of reconnaissance, and I am more careful and serious.

As he walked, Lu Yang noticed that something was wrong.

The necrons on the road are exceptionally rare.

Today they did not take the one they usually walked, but chose a small path.

The road leads deep into the mountains.

Lu Yang's original idea was that after escaping, he would hide in the mountains, and no matter how strong Yorick was, it would be difficult to find himself.

Therefore, on the first day he came out to investigate, Lu Yang chose this direction.

Unexpectedly, I found another surprise today.

Don't the Necrons like to be in the depths of the mountains?

Lu Yang asks Yorick a question, but he is disappointed.

According to Yorick, lightning is the most damaging force for the dead. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, the undead, whether they are intelligent or not, will instinctively fear and try to hide as much as possible to avoid being harmed.

In particular, places such as mountain tops and woods are more susceptible to lightning strikes, and there are very few dead spirits in the day or two after a thunderstorm.

Unfortunately, thunderstorms are not common in Shadow Isles, and they are often only encountered once every six months.

This made Lu Yang very depressed.

If he had known the news yesterday, he would have fled, and the rain would have been able to bury the traces left behind, escape into the mountains, and get a safe time of one or two days.

It's a pity that if you miss this village, you won't have this store.

Half a year later, Lu Yang's bones may be cold.

The two of them have gone far further, and there is little point in exploring further. Lu Yang proposed to go in another direction on the grounds that "there are no monsters and no exercise".

On the way back, of course, there was no way back, they stuck diagonally, choosing to pass through the waist.

Along the way, he seems to be searching for the undead, but in fact he is thinking about his escape route, and sometimes he seems to be in a state of distraction.

When a ghost suddenly popped out, it really startled him.

After observing it for a moment, Yorick affirmed, "This one does." ”

Lu Yang nodded and looked towards the ghost.

The standard distorted facial features and miserable green flames, the difference is that it is holding a knife in its hand, although it looks like it is just a kitchen knife, Lu Yang is still cautious.

He gave Yorick an inquiring look, and he said yes again.

"It can't be a trick on me, right?"

The thought flashed, and before Lu Yang could make any more moves, the ghost took the initiative to float towards him, hissing from his mouth.

Lu Yang was not too surprised, and raised his sword to meet him.

The dead are inherently opposites to life, and it doesn't say it, which is a strange thing.

Dangdang......

The swords intersected and collided several times in a quick way.

Lu Yang took a few steps back and felt his arm tingle.

It's really not ordinary.

Lu Yang took a breath, his eyes sharpened, and he greeted him again.

After 10 days of fighting, he was no longer what he used to be. Although there is no specific move, the angle of the sword is tricky and ruthless, and the timing is quite right, and at the same time, the feet are flickering and moving, just the right amount to keep a distance from the ghost.

However, this ghost is also quite difficult, with great strength and speed, plus the ordinary attack of the ghost's body is difficult to cause immediate results, and the battle lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and there were dangers in the middle, Lu Yang seized an opportunity and cut off its head with a sword.

After a battle, Lu Yang's physical strength was consumed by half, which was more tiring than a half-day journey.

In fact, there weren't many long battles. If you can't fight, you can't fight, and if you can fight, you can usually end the battle quickly.

Unlike boxing matches, in this kind of fight, you can take advantage of the opportunity and end it with a single sword.

Lu Yang found a dry place, sat down, and began to recover his strength.

He didn't express any dissatisfaction with the ghost's strength.

First, the pursuit of high-intensity combat was originally what he requested, and although it was difficult this time, he won it after all.

Second, from his attitude just now, Lu Yang felt that even if he expressed his emotions, it would have no effect.

He glanced at the character panel and gained 50 experience points, which was worthy of the difficulty of this battle.

After resting for half an hour, Lu Yang's physical strength recovered somewhat, and the two set off again.

Along the way, stop and go. In the meantime, I encountered a few monsters, and they were all solved relatively easily, although I didn't have much experience, but today's purpose is not to do it.

This day's exploration can be said to have been fruitful. When he went back, Lu Yang had a relatively clear understanding of the surrounding terrain and a few ideas about the escape route, so he just had to make the final choice in combination with the exploration situation in the next two days.
