Chapter 555: Shadow of Death

Those skeletons were attacked by the advance team members, and they also resisted, but they had no rules, whether it was attack power or defensive ability, they were weaker than the ordinary soldiers of Eraxia, and they did not have any organizational formation, in front of the twenty-five advance team members, it was like being chopped vegetables, and they were killed in an instant.

But these skeletons were not afraid, and the surrounding skeleton soldiers took advantage of the attack of twenty-five people, and immediately filled the gap left by them, forcing the advance team members who had just been killed more than a hundred meters away, and had just arrived at the foot of the mountain bag to immediately kill back and return to the position of the mountain bag.

The twenty-five men from the south returned, followed by the twenty-five men from the west, pressed towards the skeletons, like the advance team members of the first attack, killed a hundred meters, and because there was a gap behind them, the skeletons gradually closed them, and had to fight back to the mountain bag.

In this way, the four teams of the southeast, northwest, and northwest took turns to defend the mountain and take turns to attack and disrupt the enemy's encirclement and deployment.

But these undead species, there is no such thing as timidity, you can't treat them like a regular army, because the regular army has a panic and flees due to morale, and they have no intelligence at all, they are completely like machines, just rushing towards the crowd, and they can't kill them all.

The natives, who had lost nearly 100 people, were also infected by the courage of the advance team members, and were greatly encouraged, and gradually formed a tacit understanding with the advance team members, formed a simple defensive formation, and joined the battle against the skeleton army. With the natives joining the warband, the advance team members were able to fight more freely.

For more than two hours in a row, I don't know how many skeleton soldiers were killed, not three thousand, but more than two thousand, the white bones under the mountain have been paved all over the ground, and the white is boundless, but those skeleton soldiers have no intention of stopping at all, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, the skeleton soldiers that appear seem to be getting more and more advanced, and some skeleton soldiers are wearing armor in addition to shields and swords, and their attacks and defenses have risen a level. It's just that there is still no commander, and there is no organization to blindly act brutally, and they are killed by the advance team members one by one.

The endless killing made Mizter and the others feel more and more frightened, even if the advance team members were strong, they couldn't withstand the other party's blind rush to kill with numerical superiority, magic and physical strength were limited, especially this kind of jungle terrain was not good for the advance team members, and they couldn't deploy their strongest formation array, most of them relied on individual abilities, plus there was no armor protection, but after a while, seven or eight people were injured and couldn't participate in the battle, so they had to stay in place to heal.

"What the hell is going on?" Mizt asked angrily at the native leader.

"No, I don't know why there are so many!" The leader of the natives said in a panic.

"How did you mess with them?" Mizter asked sharply again.

The leader said, "We didn't mess with them, there were no such filthy things here, only a few years ago, they all came out on moonless nights, but usually several, at most a dozen or so, I have never seen so many of them appear together!" ”

Mizter knew that with the ability of the advance team, it would be no problem for him to break through and fight a bloody way, but it was difficult to say about those natives. People will panic, and if they have not undergone strict military training, as long as a few of them escape, the whole army will be scattered, and the advance team members will be put in danger.

"My lord, what should I do?" One of the advance team members ran to Mizt's side and said, "If we continue like this, we will have to die of exhaustion here, everyone means, to break through to the north immediately!" ”

Mizter is embarrassed, Wicks' poison prescription has not been obtained, the previous team members forcibly broke through, leaving behind these natives, these natives will inevitably be killed and injured, even if they can break out, what should Wicks do?

"No, don't abandon us!" The leader pleaded, "As long as they persist in the dawn, they will disperse, and my people, thank you to Dade!" ”

"We've broken through, what should I do with Lord Wicks?" Mizt shouted angrily, "Don't mention the breakout without my order!" Lord Wicks' life and death are uncertain, and now here, I'm up to the last word! You claim to be the best Lao Tzu in the world, and you are not ashamed to say it, I don't think it maybe, if it is true, then show me your courage! You must hold out until dawn, and after dawn they will disperse! ”

Mizt's words had a majestic momentum, and even the unruly heroic magician group felt overwhelmed by Mizt's momentum, and involuntarily responded: "Yes, my lord, we will hold on until dawn!" ”

The fact that the Advance Force, led by Wicks himself, was carrying a source of mana so that the Advance Legion could recover in time after the mana was depleted, showing that the Fifth Legion did have high hopes for their mission. But the source of magic is only equivalent to the moving magic tower, if you want to recover the magic power, you must meditate within the scope of the magic source power, and you can recover it in the same way as in the magic tower, therefore, in the battle, the advance team members can not use the magic source, for them, there are still four or five hours before dawn, and it is indeed difficult to maintain such a high-intensity fight for so long, but for the sake of Wicks, they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

Fortunately, the natives who resisted the fear of the advance team were encouraged by the advance team members to fight more and more bravely, and they who had been hunters for a long time finally showed the power of the master of this forest, and under the leadership of the leader, they also began to follow the advance team members to launch attacks again and again, and for a while, they actually killed all the skeletons in the inner circle close to the encirclement, and their morale skyrocketed.

The two groups of men began to cooperate more and more tacitly, and after the encirclement of the skeleton corps retreated, some people could rest and some people fight, which gradually controlled the situation.

No one knows how many skeleton soldiers have been killed, and the ground under the mountain has been covered with a thick layer of white bones, and people clatter on it.

There was finally a light in the East, and everyone who was exhausted finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the war did not end there, and in the early morning in the forest, there was a thick fog, or rather, a miasma wafting from nowhere, which was poisonous! The fog itself is the fermentation of decaying animal and plant carcasses in a humid environment, forming a highly toxic and miasma as the fog fills the air, whether it is a human or most animals, they will be far away when they see this miasma. The miasma of this morning's clearing is even more terrifying, because the fog that gradually drifts from a distance is actually gray, and experienced people know at a glance that this miasma is extremely dangerous.

The thick fog made it impossible for sunlight to penetrate the battlefield, and the black-gray fog formed a huge shadow in the forest, except for the small mountain bag, the bottom of the mountain was completely covered by the shadow, and people seemed to smell a breath of death.

Those skeleton soldiers, relying on these shadows, were still in the dark, and the blue light continued to converge towards the top of the mountain, but their movements were much slower than the real night, as if the shadows were not dark enough, and their abilities were weakened.

The two dozen or so former members of the Qi magic specialty did not dare to be careless, and immediately drove the tornado to expel the miasma that had gathered around them, keeping the small mountain bag from being engulfed by the miasma, hoping that the miasma would be dispelled after the sun rose.

The advance team members and natives who had been fighting for seven or eight hours were already exhausted, and a third of the advance team members were injured to varying degrees. The natives did not suffer many casualties, and after going up the mountain pack, they only lost thirty or forty men, and they were also almost unable to fight again.

"Didn't you say that after dawn they would disperse?" Mizt asked angrily at the native leader.

"My lord, this is the case before, these skeletons will never dare to come out during the day!" "But now the miasma is everywhere, and the forest is still dark, and I don't know why!" ”

"In your opinion, when will these miasma dissipate?" Mizter asked again.

The leader said, "My lord, no matter how many miasma there are, after the sun rises, it should slowly become thin and then slowly dissipate!" But these miasma is so weird, not only is it not thin, but it is getting thicker and thicker, I have never seen such a miasma, such a black miasma! It doesn't seem to be an ordinary miasma, but the skeletons! ”

Mizter noticed that, as the leader had said, the miasma was still converging from all sides, getting thicker and thicker, from gray to black, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"My lord, while there is still strength left, the ability of the skeleton soldiers has decreased, and we must break through!" One of the advance team members hurriedly came up and said to Mizter, "These miasma are indeed weird! You see, where there are no skeleton soldiers, there is no miasma, and obviously, these miasma are indeed brought by these skeleton soldiers! To the north, you can see the sun a few hundred meters away from here, as long as you break through this distance of a few hundred meters and go up to the hill over there, we are safe! ”

The leader was surprised and said, "However, with such a thick miasma, even without skeleton soldiers, we would not be able to penetrate these miasma areas!" ”

"Organize people immediately and prepare to break through!" Mizt did not have time to think about it, and immediately ordered the advance team. He knew that staying here was a dead end, and if he had broken through earlier last night, he might not have fallen into such a predicament, so he turned his head and continued to shout angrily at the leader, "If you don't want to die, follow us!" ”

A few minutes later, more than 20 advance team members, driven by strong winds, forcibly opened a gap in the miasma to the north, and then the advance team carried Wicks and a few wounded who could not move, and killed them northward, followed by more than 300 natives, who also scrambled to follow the advance team, like a tide, down the hill and towards the higher hill to the north......
