Chapter 9: Town of the Dead
However, after the salute, the red-striped black-robed man organized the people behind him and worked together to pull out the bone spurs that pierced Gatt.
After the bone spurs were pulled out, Gatt's originally sluggish aura suddenly began to glow. These black-robed men injected energy into him together, and the blood hole in front of him quickly repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The red-striped black-robed man took out a brand new black robe from the storage space and handed it to Gatt.
Gat took the black robe and said excitedly:
"Thank you, Elder Law Enforcement!"
It turned out that this red-veined black-robed man was a law enforcement elder who was one level higher than the law enforcer.
"No thanks. Gatt, you can tell me about the identities of these two now... How could there be a curse of the Giant Skeleton King on them!"
When Ye Ping'an heard this, he glanced at Gat nervously. Although he knew that Gart's aboriginal behavior was specific, he could not guarantee that Gat would not break his promise.
Gart's gray eyes swept over Ye Ping'an and the two, and said without thinking:
"I couldn't move after resisting the Giant Skeleton King's soul chasing finger at that time, it was these two young juniors who used their hands to seal the Giant Skeleton King!"
After listening to Gaat, Ye Ping'an couldn't help but feel some gratitude in his heart. Gat actually directly concealed the fact that he had emptied the soul of the revenant in this place and caused the seal to loosen!
Hearing this, the law enforcement elder nodded:
"In that case, you can take the two of them to the town of the undead, and when I come back from reinforcing the seal, I will lead them to the Law Enforcement Hall to reward their meritorious deeds!"
After saying that, the law enforcement elder led several law enforcers towards the bone hand of the Giant Skeleton King.
Seeing the back of the law enforcement elder far away, Gat took out a crystal from the storage space, and as the space was turbulent, a bone bird appeared in front of several people.
"Come on." Gat still maintains his solemn style.
Ye Ping'an turned over and sat up without hesitation, and then reached out and pulled the big-faced cat up with a fish.
The bone bird flapped its wings and rose into the wind, soaring high into the sky against the hazy moon in the sky.
"Wow! It's a beautiful night!" The big-faced cat loves to eat fish, and shouts in the wind with open arms.
Ye Ping'an split his upper and lower jaws, revealing a terrifying smile.
Indeed, at such a height, the originally gloomy clouds and the hairy moon have a different beauty. Of course, this is on the premise of leaving the valley where the corpses are buried.
"Gatt, thank you for what just happened." Ye Ping'an thought for a while, and suddenly said to Gatt.
"One of the purposes of my patrol near the Valley of the Buried Corpse this time is to replace the crystal, you have unknowingly emptied the dead things here, which has accelerated the speed of the destruction of the sealing crystal, and you have completed the replacement for me, so I naturally will not embarrass you in this matter."
Ye Ping'an nodded silently.
"By the way," added Gatt, "don't call me Gath, call me Lord Enforcer!"
Ye Ping'an was speechless, and only heard Gat muttering in a low voice:
"To be honest, I can't believe that with the strength of the two of you, you can actually empty the dead things in the burial valley..."
Ye Ping'an naturally didn't explain how he did it, but reached out and patted the thigh of the big-faced cat who loves fish.
"You... What are you doing?" The big-faced cat loves to eat fish, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and suddenly grabbed Ye Ping'an's paws.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, it's a little uncomfortable for me to hang my hand like this. Ye Ping'an said and retracted his hand.
Ye Ping'an suddenly realized... This big-faced cat loves to eat fish, but he's not afraid of heights?! Suddenly shook his head with some pity.
In just a while, the bone bird had already taken Ye Ping'an and the three of them across several unknown areas and came to the sky above a large town.
Gat didn't take the bone bird to move forward, because it was forbidden in the town of the dead, and if he ignored the rules, then he would trigger the attack of the protective circle and the magic tower, which was more powerful than the Giant Skeleton King's one-handed soul chaser!
Gat manipulated the Bone Bird to land directly at the entrance of the town of the dead.
I saw that there were two towering lookouts at the entrance, and the lookouts were equipped with some magical equipment. It turned out to be a combination of a magic tower and an observation tower.
In the middle of the Magic Lookout is a towering black metal gate.
There is a circle of reliefs on the gate of the town of the dead, the relief depicts a river, there are various undead races in the river, among which the corpse and the bone clan are included, although they are about to be swallowed by the river, but the various undead in the relief are showing a serene magic, weird, solemn, magnificent, these words are not enough to describe this gate.
Ye Ping'an and the big-faced cat love fish, both opened their mouths wide and looked at the gate more than ten meters high.
Gath seems to have intended to explain:
"This is an imitation of the replica of the Gate of Styx..."
"Imitation of imitation!" Ye Ping'an was even more interested when he heard this somewhat strange sentence.
"The Gates of Styx in the Town of the Dead are modeled after the Gates of the Styx in the Dark City, and the Gates of the Styx in the Dark City are not genuine. The true Gate of the Styx is the legendary entrance to the underworld, and as long as you travel through it, you can know everything about the undead!"
"Gate of Styx! The entrance to the underworld?!" If Ye Ping'an still had flesh and blood, he must have inhaled cold air at this moment, because it sounded really shocking, "Where is the underworld?"
Hearing Ye Ping'an's question, Gat showed a rare expression, but it was a wry smile:
"No one knows where the underworld is, it is said that only the current Emperor of the Dark Country, the Dark Emperor once saw the Gate of the Styx, but even he didn't have a chance to enter it to find out!"
"Emperor of the Dark Realm, Dark Emperor!" Ye Ping'an's eyes flashed with ghostly fire, and he already had some measurements in his heart. If he's not mistaken, this town of the dead is a district in the Dark Realm!
"The Dark Emperor, it must be very powerful!" Big-faced cats love to eat fish, their eyes are flashing, and their faces are full of envy.
The three of them spoke, already walking towards the entrance.
Beneath the Gate of Styx stood two men in armor, armed with weapons in their hands, apparently guards guarding the city.
"I've seen the Enforcer!" The two guards bowed as soon as they saw Gath. But soon he looked up again and asked:
"These two around you are fresh faces, and one of them doesn't seem to belong to our undead, can you have a pass?"
Hearing this, Gatt's brows furrowed slightly:
"There was a law enforcement elder with several law enforcers just now, do you know?"
The two guards glanced at each other, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. Both of these guards are bone-born!
"I don't know what adults mean?"
"Then do you know the Giant Skeleton King?"
"The Skeleton King!" The soul fire in the eyes of the two Bone Clan guards flashed rapidly, and they were obviously very jealous of this name. As the undead, and even more so as the bone clan of the undead, how can they not know the murderous name of the Giant Skeleton King!
Gat said coldly:
"Just now I was ordered to patrol the Burial Valley, and by the way, I wanted to replace the seal crystal that was about to be broken, but for some reason, the deadline for the destruction of the seal crystal was advanced, and the Giant Skeleton King almost broke the seal! By the time I arrived, the Skeleton King had already stretched out a hand!"
"What! The Giant Skeleton King broke the seal, there is such a thing!"
"What the hell is going on!"
Both Bone Clan guards panicked.
Ye Ping'an finally understood what kind of existence the giant skeleton king was, which was obviously a terrifying legend that was enough to make the baby stop crying. He couldn't help but glance down at the skull mark in his heart, and he sighed secretly at the thought that he had not only sealed it again with his own hands, but also sealed it in his body.
"I don't know exactly why. In short, now that the crisis has been resolved, the Giant Skeleton King has been resealed, and the law enforcement elders are leading the team to deal with the hands of the Giant Skeleton King that have been exposed, and at the same time ensure that the seal will not have any more problems, and carry out secondary reinforcement. And these two..."
Gat took a deep breath and said:
"It's the one who replaced the broken seal crystal for me and temporarily strengthened the seal when I couldn't move the finger of the giant skeleton king's soul chaser!"
The two skeleton guards stood up solemnly when they heard this, and the ghostly fire flashed with great respect in their eyes.
"Ding! The reputation of the Evolver and the big-faced cat who loves fish in Undead Town has been increased by 50, from normal to close!"
"Ding! Increases the Opinion of the Skeleton Guard Armor towards you by 50, from Coldness to Closeness..."
"Ding! Skeleton Guard B..."
Ye Ping'an listened to the prompt sound of the system, and his mood changed from joy to subtle eccentricity. Who designed this Evolution Island? It's genius, but there are some places that are real...
"What's the use of asking for the favor of these two skeleton guards!" Ye Ping'an shouted in his heart.
The two skeleton guards were very moved when they heard what Gath said, and after hearing what it was the law enforcement elders, they did not hesitate to let them go.
Ye Ping'an and the big-faced cat love to eat fish followed behind Gatt and strode into the town of the dead!
"Ding! You have come to the area of the town of the dead, the town of the dead is a peaceful area, and if you take the initiative to attack other evolutionaries or aborigines, you will be hunted down and punished by the guards and enforcers of the town of the dead!"
Ye Ping'an listened to the prompt sound of the system, and his eyes had already swept in this undead town.
As far as the eye can see, the streets are full of people, most of whom are undead. Among them, the corpse clan, the bone clan, and the soul clan all have them. And Ye Ping'an also saw the face of the soul clan for the first time.
The soul clan is a disembodied "mist", to be precise, a collection of souls. There will also be a pair of soul fires in the eye area, but compared to the soul fire of the bone clan, the soul fire of the soul clan is completely wrapped in the body, and it looks like a pair of glowing spots.
Along the way, Ye Ping'an saw infrastructure such as weapon shops, food stores, and armor shops.
Obviously, similar to other online games that Ye Ping'an has been exposed to, this town of the dead is a player stronghold that provides various services.
"I don't know if this Evolution Island will give me some surprises..."Ye Ping'an's eyes didn't stop for a moment, quickly looking around, and he realized another problem:
In Evolution Island, there seems to be no direct means of identifying Aborigines and Evolutionaries.
Along the way, he had seen many undead of all kinds, but he didn't know which one was an evolutionary and which one was an aborigine!
