Back at the Lake of Life, Zhang Li then lay down in a clean place and fell asleep.

On the other side of the forest, unbeknownst to him, Ling An walked out of the forest with the support of his wife, holding his bleeding shoulder.

"Father." His son cautiously leaned over, and when he saw Ling An's injured shoulder, he didn't say much, but whispered in his ear, "The town chief is here." ”

"Oh?" Ling An was stunned for a moment, he came over so quickly.

Without further ado, he motioned for his son and wife to take him to the mayor.

The town of Dallot, a two-armed and four-legged humanoid, with curved horns on the top of his head, is more than three meters tall, looking at Ling An, who is only up to his waist, his face does not have much expression, just lowered his head and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

The dwarf who was only half a meter tall on the side staggered over, with a bamboo basket around his waist, reached out and grabbed a handful of leaves from it in the process of walking, put it in his mouth and chewed vigorously, and when he reached Ling An's side, he spit out the chewed rotten things, climbed on Ling An's body, and covered his wounds.

Feeling his wound begin to paralyze, Ling An couldn't help but frown, but he adjusted his language and answered Mayor Dalot's words.

"It's not good." Ling An said, "This forest is not dangerous during the day, and you can walk around at will, but at night, there will be an endless number of skeletons and necromancers, no matter how many you kill, it seems that you can't kill them cleanly." ”

Ling An pondered for a moment and continued, "The strength of the Skeleton Necronomicon is very weak, at least from what I have seen, at most it is about the same as a militia with a certain amount of training, and the strongest is not enough to ignite a flame. ”

"But there are too many of them, and they are ......"

Ling An said with an extremely serious expression, "These skeleton necromancers actually have their own cooperation!" ”

"Cooperation?" Mayor Dalot sighed, "Is there still a high necromancy?" ”

"No, between the pure skeletons and necromancy, they have their own cooperation." Ling An took a deep breath, "This kind of cooperation is extremely terrifying! ”

"A single skeleton necromancer is absolutely not a threat, but when they are in a team of more than a ten, they cooperate very tacitly."

"By the time there are sixty or seventy, it will be difficult for those who have not lit the flame to escape from them."

Ling An looked at Mayor Dallot, "Also, I found the body of the wolf monster Hughes Anno in the forest, I checked around, he should have been besieged and killed by hundreds of skeleton necromancers." ”

Mayor Dalot lost his mind for a moment, and then shook his head slightly: "Impossible, Hughes Anno has been lighting the flame for a long time, and he is even planning to light the second flame, how can he die in the hands of hundreds of low-level skeleton necromancers." ”

"There's no doubt about it." Ling An pointed to his wound, "At night, I encountered a legion of more than 100 skeleton necromancers, and under the superposition of their numbers, they actually activated the [Necromantic Aura], directly reducing all my strength. ”

"No matter how powerful the wolf monster Hughes Anno is, as long as he doesn't ignite the second flame, he will definitely not be immune to such a state, and he will be suppressed to the minimum by the aura effect of a large number of skeleton necromancy, and finally killed easily."

Ling An's words made Mayor Dalot silent: "Is this the case, only the person who lights the second flame can be safe in front of these skeleton dead spirits?" ”

He was particularly disturbed by the fact that in this remote area, there were very few people who could light a second flame, most of them were the mayor or their cronies.

In his town, only two people lit the second flame, and they still have a grudge with each other on weekdays.

"So, the forest can't be held by us?"

Mayor Dallot was extremely unwilling, and he couldn't help but snort as he looked at the lush forest in front of him.

Ling An shook his head: "This is just what I saw on the outside, and it is a little too dangerous for me to go deep inside." ”

Mayor Dalot no longer went to see Ling'an, and since he couldn't get his hands on the situation in the depths, he was useless.

What to do with the forest?

Or rather, how can we do something with the help of this forest?

********************

On the other side of the forest, the bodies of a dozen bounty hunters lay out of the forest, their leader looking around with a gloomy face and anger and happiness.

Yesterday during the day, the Bounty Hunters discovered the vast forest and immediately abandoned their mission entirely.

Here, the level of resource scarcity is difficult for outsiders to understand, and even a single tree is enough to bring in a good sum of money to live a life that does not require hard work.

And here, with so many trees, the entire Bounty Hunters go crazy.

Even the head of the regiment completely forgot about the insect farm.

But unfortunately, just as they rushed into the forest, just as it was almost night, they were suddenly stunned by the skeleton army that appeared.

The arrival of nearly a thousand skeletons completely collapsed the entire bounty hunter group, and most of them were killed almost without any defense.

It's not that they don't have enough strength, it's that in front of these skeletons, they instantly weakened like ordinary people, and they are powerless to fight against these skeletons at all.

Seeing the opportunity, the regimental commander quickly led the people to flee, until he was far away from those skeletons, which completely alleviated his weakness.

They found that the skeletons did not leave the border of the forest, so they hid outside and watched the movements inside until the sun rose in the morning, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that all the skeletons had disappeared into the ground and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

So the rest of the men brought out the bodies of their companions.

It's not a care between peers, it's just because corpses are also an extremely important resource!

The people of the bounty group looked at the corpse at their feet, and then at the companions around them, and what was going on in their minds, all of them knew very well.

They don't say anything, but they don't speak anymore.

Next to it is the forest, where the great wealth is located, is it necessary to pull out such arrows?

Just as these people were thinking about it, a shrill laugh suddenly rang out: "It's funny, a group of stupid mortals have started to fight among themselves." ”

The head of the bounty squinted his eyes and looked at a person who suddenly walked on the sand dunes far away: "Who are you?" ”

"Lord Andrew was upset to hear that a bunch of nasty bugs were following him." The visitor didn't answer the other party's words at all, and said to himself, "So he ordered me to come and clean up." ”

The head of the bounty suddenly changed his face: "Followers of the priest! ”

"No, it's a believer."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of silver light flashed, and a crossbow arrow stabbed into the throat of a bounty hunter, sending him flying and crashing into the forest behind him.
