Chapter 22: The Forest in the Night

Zhang Li didn't know that outside the Gray Bone Forest, someone was playing the idea of this forest.

He wanted to burn the forest down with a fire now!

Because he felt as if he was lost.

Unable to find an area where a quest item should be present.

The sky seemed to be slowly starting to darken, and Zhang Li found that he had to leave the forest as soon as possible and go outside.

He also has a mission of 500 gray skeletons, and he needs to use the bugs outside to get rid of them as soon as possible.

"Bad luck." Zhang Li sighed, he only had one newly acquired piece of equipment on his body now, a leather armor chest guard.

I don't know how long it has been, but he dug it out of the ground somewhere, and it still smells rancid, very bad.

It's just the effect of defense +2, which still makes him wear it on his body, after all, if he can increase his defense a little, he will be more safe.

As for the taste or something, just put up with it and it's over.

When you get back to the lake of life or the river, just take a bath.

"It's getting dark too fast." Zhang Li complained as he walked around in the forest according to his memories.

Although he carved sword marks into the trees, it took a lot of effort to find them.

It's too easy to get lost in the forest, Zhang Li always feels that the surroundings are very similar to the places he walked before, and at a glance, they are all exactly the same scene.

In such a situation, it is impossible to distinguish between the east, the south, the north, and the west, and even if he finds the tree that depicts the sword marks, he may not be able to find his way back.

"Now that you think about it, it's such a great invention to have maps and stuff like that." Zhang Li sighed, looked at the gradually darkening sky, reached out and took out a bottle of Life Spring Water from his backpack, and drank most of the bottle in one go, so as to restore all his energy.

Now it seemed that he would never be able to return to the Lake of Life or leave the forest within the allotted time, so there was little need to think about the rest of the matter, and he would definitely have to fight a large number of gray skeletons.

Maybe there was still that executioner peeping around, which really made Zhang Li feel a little uneasy.

Therefore, he must return to the most perfect moment, and there must be no relaxation.

The sky darkened quickly, Zhang Li saw that the sun was still in the sky, and the next moment he found that it was beginning to darken in front of him.

Luckily, however, he finally found a tree carved with a sword mark in front of him, and soon after he ran along the road, he saw a small river channel that had been lost for a long time.

Listening to the sound of gurgling water, he was so moved.

Zhang Li quickly ran to the edge of the river, compared the directions, and immediately headed straight towards the direction of the Lake of Life.

It's a bit of a hassle to go outside now, so it's better to go back to the Lake of Life, get a good rest, and then come out to remove the gray skeletons.

Zhang Li thought so, and didn't think about fighting against those bone frames in the gray bone forest.

Although this forest of gray bones is similar to what is described in the guide, there are still some subtle differences after all.

For example, the number of missions in 500 is not a small number, and it is absolutely impossible for players to complete such a number of mission objectives in the novice stage of any game.

Especially when the strength of the early players is very low, and it is about the same as these gray bone forests.

500 gray skeletons, I'm afraid it will take a day to spend on them! This is something that players will never tolerate.

If Zhang Li's guess is correct, in the game, the number of gray skeletons required for this task is likely to be only 5!

In addition, there is the problem of experience points, it takes 1000 experience points to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, and a gray skeleton only has 5 experience points, if it is not for the experience points given by the mission, then the game itself has problems.

And from the strategy, the method about speedrunning is to let players experience the plot and world background, so they can get through the game in 2 days.

That's seventy or eighty levels, based on current experience, is it possible?

Therefore, Zhang Li has always only used it as a reference for the strategy, and he will never believe it 100%.

Gray skeletons in reality, unlike those in the game, will not appear until they notice the player's character approaching them, they can smell human breath from a long distance, climb up from the ground, and gather more and more over time.

It's like last night at the border of the forest, Zhang Li killed so many gray skeletons, but what appeared was like the ocean, that's the reason.

As long as Zhang Li dares to stay in the forest, sooner or later all around him will be gray skeletons!

Zhang Li had just walked a few steps by the river, and the sky was all dark, and in his ears, there were sound of rustling one after another, and the gray skeletons from the ground began to appear.

Zhang Li didn't think much about it, but continued to run in the direction of the end of the river, his speed was very fast, and the great enhancement of his own attributes increased his physical strength and strength a lot, and if the speed of running appeared in his previous life, he would have already broken the world record.

But at the moment, he still felt that he was too slow.

The countless lands in front of them began to squirm, and a large number of gray skeletons were crawling out, and many, many flames ignited in their eye sockets, looking eerie and with a strong aura of death.

However, it seems that this river also contains a part of the breath of a phoenix, with a lot of vitality, and around this river, there are not too many gray skeletons willing to come.

Only a part of the ash skeletons, too close, would stagger silently towards this side.

Zhang Li also seemed to notice a little, these gray skeletons often roared but did not make a sound, this was definitely not just a simple action, it seemed that with their roar, more and more gray skeletons began to appear and walked towards him.

These gray skeletons also seem to have their own way of communicating.

"Doesn't that mean that these skeletons are also wise?" This thought flashed through Zhang Li's mind, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Although the strength of these gray skeletons themselves is nothing, there are too many of them, if there is still wisdom, then it will be worth it?

If they have wisdom, Zhang Li can't help but shudder, then it will be too dangerous.

Zhang Li walked briskly beside the river, but he didn't find that in the place where he couldn't see, an extremely huge skeleton skeleton followed his figure briskly, silently, even far beyond his position, and rushed in front of him.

Not only here, but on the other side of the distant forest, the wolf-headed monster finally shook off the green-scaled giant with great difficulty, and sneaked into the gray bone forest alone.

But at this moment, the original excited look has disappeared, and instead of retreating towards the rear in fear.

In front of him, countless tall, skeletal skeletons and necromancers, with their rotten jaws open and closed, weaving battle squads, slowly approaching him with various weapons.

"No!" The wolf-headed monster let out a desolate cry, and the canopy of bony arrow wipers clattered him and his surroundings with a clatter.
