Could this be the ruins of an ancient battlefield?
He casually threw the bone in his hand aside, bent down and tentatively touched it again, and found a round thing, very smooth. His fingers felt a few holes in the top of the thing, and the bottom seemed to be still attached to the earth, and he pulled the thing up with all his might. It turned out to be a skull, and it didn't look like it was very old, about twenty years old. Dead people of this age generally do not die normally, and this is probably really a battlefield site.
He was about to walk forward when he heard someone talking. "Hello?"
I looked left and right, and there was no one.
"Where do you look? I'm in your hands. ”
I hurriedly brought the skull in front of me, and saw the muscleless mandible opening and closing up and down. "It's you."
The skeleton was a little surprised: "Why don't you run?" ”
"Why should I run?"
"I'm a skeleton!"
I pointed to the wings behind my back: "I'm a mutant archdemon, we should be counted as a force." ”
"It turned out to be my own person!" The skeleton immediately became enthusiastic. "It looks like you're not low-level, what level are you at?"
"Level 737, now the upgrade is slow, it's not easy to practice. What did you just call me? ”
"I see that you are about to leave with my head, and I want you to put me down, my body is still underneath, but I don't want to be in a different place."
"Oh! Excuse me! ”
The skeleton said politely: "Since everyone is on one side, then please help dig out my body." It's uncomfortable to be buried down there for so long, and I want to go out for a walk. ”
"Winter meaning." I threw the skull upwards and stooped down and punched the ground. Suddenly, a column rose from the ground, and the skull landed on it. A few gentle taps on the earthen floor cylinder fell apart. There was only one skeleton left standing on the ground, and it was the skull that was put upside down! Quickly reach out and help him turn back. "Now it's fine."
The skeleton straightened its head. "Thank you, it's much more comfortable now. In return, I will tell you a piece of news that is useful to you. ”
I knew that this demon was rare and would be rewarded for his good deeds. "What's the news?"
The skeleton turned and pointed to the inside of the alcove. "There's a youkai named Bone Maiden here, she's not our undead friend, you have to be careful. From here inward, you will encounter a lot of skeletons, all of them are controlled by the bone girl, and they will not be friendly with you. Also, this bone girl has a good set of changing appearances. Don't be fooled. There are all skeletons in this mountain except her, and if you see a third creature that moves, it must be her. Other than that. I also know her weaknesses. This bone girl is afraid of canine monsters. ”
"Skeletons seem to be afraid of dogs." There are so many skeletons in Issinger, can I not know the weakness of the skullland?
The skeleton said angrily: "Nonsense, don't you know that dogs love to gnaw bones? ”
Sweat! Finally understand why skeletons are afraid of dogs! It turns out that in the eyes of dogs, skeletons = bones = food.
"Understood, understood. If it's just a skeleton, then there's nothing to be afraid of, and my strength won't be killed by skeletons. ”
"Those weren't ordinary skeletons, they were super skeletons, and they ......," he paused. Forget it, I can't say clearly. You know it when you see it. Anyway, be careful! Twenty meters further forward from here is within her reach, and further inside are her puppets. I'm going to go first. ”
"Thank you then."
Sending the skeleton away, he turned and walked into the valley, and when he reached the dividing line, he didn't seem to see any difference. It may be a simple line of division of forces, with no obvious markings. To be on the safe side, I still called two and a half months out to help. Half Moon spun two inches above the ground in front of me, and two and a half moons were like two lawn mowers, and when they passed, only two inches of turf remained on the ground.
As I walked, I suddenly felt something grab my foot, and when I looked down, I saw that it was a claw with only bones left grabbing my ankle. This should be the kind of skeleton that worked for the bone girl that the skeleton outside who was not accused of zhì said.
Reach out and grab that hand and pull it up. As a result, I suddenly felt that my strength was loosened, and I only pulled out an upper arm bone, and it was broken! After a while, the ground began to shake. The soil layer starts to top up with a bag. After a while, the soil cracked, and a skeleton with half of its arm missing crawled out. It looked at me and suddenly opened its mouth and let out a crying sound, is this the so-called ghost crying wolf?
"What's it called, it's noisy!" A slap closed its jaw, and the skeleton's voice snapped to a halt.
The skeleton was confused, but it quickly came back to its senses and suddenly attacked me with its other hand. I just gave it a gentle push, and the skeleton fell apart. What can a level 50 skeleton do to me? This is probably a little minion to test the strength of the enemy and see the reaction of the undead, so it has no combat effectiveness.
Ignore the little skeleton and move on. Soon after, the problem of being very strict came up. How did I go back to where I was? The skull fragments on the ground are clearly the ones I just broke up. I took out the compass, and it turned out that it was out of order again!
"White Waves." Call on the pet to help. "Help lead the way with your nose."
Bai Lang immediately began to sniff the smell and move forward. With the help of its nose and good sense of direction, we left the ** formation of the mountain pass lightly. Once inside, the situation changed significantly. The meadow here was normal, not as deep as at the entrance, and a few trees and many dwarf shrubs began to appear here.
After continuing to move forward for a distance, Bai Lang whispered, "Something is coming." ”
"What is it?"
"It could be stiff. I smell carrion. ”
"Where's the quantity?"
"I don't know. It's everywhere in all directions, and it's huge. "Saying that, Bai Lang looked at me." As long as the number of level 200 stiffness does not exceed 100,000, it shouldn't be a problem, right? ”
"Even if it's over 100 million, it's not a problem. Stiff and unable to fly. "I've got wings.
As soon as we finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the woods next to us. The leaves suddenly moved. A zombie emerges from the bushes, and then begins to appear in a steady stream of stiffness. These guys are walking so slowly that they are not a threat to me. didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, and continued to move forward with the white waves. Just push away when you encounter zombies, and these low-level monsters don't need to be deliberately guarded.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a very faint sound in the distance, and at first I thought it was a bird's call, but as we walked forward, the sound became clearer and clearer. Bai Lang's ears were also very good, and he could directly hear the voice of a woman asking for help. As we got closer, I could hear it clearly.
"Help!" This female voice is very beautiful, and it is full of a sense of seduction.
Approaching the voice, it was easy to find the woman. This is an Asian woman in a long white dress, with long black hair and white skin. Especially her outfits. The white dress was a little too thin, and the contents were faintly visible. The blood of the people who watched the land was surging. At this time, she was standing on a small crooked tree, which was only more than five meters high, and the place where she stood was just over two meters above the ground. Under the tree, a group of zombies were clumsily reaching upwards in an attempt to reach for her white little feet. But zombies have stiff joints, they can't climb trees at all, and they can't reach the height of the women on the trees. Those rotting arms were always a little bit out of reach of this woman. The woman was screaming loudly for help in the tree.
We stood in the bushes and didn't go out, and the woman's position was not visible to us for the time being. Bai Lang looked at me: "You want to save her?" ”
"Save! Why don't you save it? How could such a beautiful young lady be in danger and not lend a hand? But! "I paused slightly." There are a few things you need to look into before you do that. ”
"You see that?" Bai Lang looked at me in surprise.
"Hahahaha....... Are you really an idiot? He turned around and opened the space door. Scott, come out and help. "2: Cough Nail Pyridium Falcon Former Aphid Cabin Qianjiang Falcon! Ao alcohol latent strong lemon is a temple Suijun?
"Isn't that a youkai?" Scott asked curiously. Ling smiled and didn't say anything.
"I know. I'm asking you if you see it? ”
"See." Both of the Bell Riders nodded.
"It's good to see it." I found 10 Ringtone Knights from among them plus Ling altogether, people. "You 10 listen to Ling's dispatch and take a good look at that woman here. Don't go out and let her see, and don't save her. ”
One of the knights was surprised, "She should be able to sense that we are nearby, and it is the same if she can't get out." ”
"You don't care about this, anyway, don't go out and let her see it." He turned to Ling and said, "I won't close the space door, you guys are here to guard, don't let that woman run away." There are a lot of zombies and skeletons nearby. Maybe there's something even better, if you're too busy, go in and bring in the dragoons for support. As he spoke, he summoned the rose vine and the nightshade as well. The rose vine also stays with you. Nightshade, you're in charge of keeping Ling safe, she's a mage and can't let people get close. Look at that woman. ”
"And ...... you?" Ling asked.
"I have something else to do. Wait for me to come back. With that, he took Bai Lang and the other way, and the famous bell knight left here.
After walking a distance, Bai Lang asked me strangely, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I naturally have what I mean. Just follow me. Smell if there is any smell of blood nearby? ”
"Blood? How do you know if there is a smell of blood nearby? I just got a little smell, you can't be better than my nose? ”
"I guessed, and since you smell it, it means I guessed right. Take us there. ”
Bai Lang chased after the smell, and we followed Bai Lang. Soon we found the source of the smell of blood. There is a sloping stone building on a hillside, which is clearly an authentic entrance. The smell of blood came from this hole.
The closer we got along the way. The fewer zombies there are nearby, the more you reach the entrance of the cave, you will be completely invisible. When I walked to the side of the cave, I found that there was a stone gate here, but there was a big hole in it, not to mention people. Even rhinos have passed. Inside, I immediately felt a sense of familiarity. This is the breath of the undead, and there is a lot of death breath in it.
Summoning Chun and letting her use illumination, the tunnel immediately lights up. Under the illumination of the light, it can be clearly seen that some black gases in the air in the tunnel are suspended in the air, and these are the breath of death. Xiao Chun instinctively frowned.
I took off my helmet and put it on her, then put the mask down. Seeing her surprised eyes, I asked, "Is it better?" ”
Xiao Chun nodded, and the system immediately prompted that the loyalty had increased. In fact, as long as you care about the magic pet, the increase in loyalty is still very simple. However, high-level magic pets are more troublesome, and they are generally all-rounders. There's nothing you need to care about, and they're all strong in their own right. Not very respectful of the host. But as long as you seize one opportunity after another, there is still a way, of course, provided that your strength can suppress him.
With the filtering function of the magic dragon helmet, Xiao Chun is much more comfortable. I'm a member of the darkness anyway, and the breath of death doesn't respond to me at all. "Onward." Make a gesture for the Bell Riders to go ahead, they are of high rank. It is more secure in case of danger.
"This must be the monster's lair, right?" After we recounted what had happened, Chun asked.
Bai Lang nodded: "If you didn't guess wrong, it should be here." But I don't understand what the host is doing here. ”
Bai Lang was obviously asking for my opinion, so I had no choice but to reply: "Do you know the myth of dragon slaying in Europe?" Everyone nodded. I continued, "There are two types of dragon slaying. One is the safety of the dragon danger hài area, and the other is for the dragon's cave. ”
"You're here to gather treasure?" Xiao Chun was surprised.
I smiled and nodded. "Anyway, that monster is pretending to be a woman over there and wants to hang me on the bait, let's take this opportunity to raid her house, what a perfect plan!"
"You're so dark!" Although Xiaochun's loyalty has improved a lot, it is still less than 60. This score is the passing line, and the magic pet that does not reach 20 basically will not have a too positive opinion of the owner.
I smiled and put my arm on Jun's shoulder. "It's all a family, don't you also follow my black spots?"
"I don't think so." Chun pushed my hand away. "And. If you want to get out alive, you look at the road. ”
"See the road?" Boom! "Oops" This damn tunnel, there's a pillar in the middle of the road! "This is a tunnel built by some bastard. How did you erect a pillar here. ”
Scott walked back to look at the pillar in the middle and said, "This place may have collapsed before, and this was added later." ”
"I mean, there's such a thing in the middle of the road!"
Xiao Chun's body trembled slightly beside him. Although she couldn't see her face when she was covered by the helmet, I knew she was smiling.
Rubbing his nose, he continued to walk forward, and after walking for a long time, he noticed the light. It's hard to imagine that this tunnel is not connected to the underground buildings. I always thought that there was an ancient tomb down here, but I didn't know that I had walked for a long time and then went up to the ground. It's a mountain col, surrounded by mountains, and it's easy to ignore it if you're outside. The clearing is not very large, and you can see the opposite side at a glance. In the middle of the clearing there was a stockade that looked like a military base, surrounded by high wooden walls and wooden watchtowers at the corners. It looks like the place is old, and the wood is all gray. The wood of this structure is usually made of wood that has been fixed by magic for a long time, and is mostly found in human dwellings occupied by youkai. Yokai have a long lifespan, and people's houses cannot be inhabited for many years, so yokai either move often or use magic to strengthen buildings. The reinforced wood will not rot but will change color, and over time it will turn grayish-white.
With a wave of my hand, all the bell knights rushed out. Several knights climbed over the wall, and some quickly rushed to the door and looked inside. Scott, who was standing on the wall of the door, made a gesture of safety, and I approached the door together.
Bai Lang said: "This should be the source, the smell of blood is so strong." ”
"I smell it all." The smell of blood was so strong that I could smell it clearly.
Scott and the others jumped into the stockade first. A few seconds passed. There was a section of the wall that suddenly tilted outward, and it turned out to be a drawbridge. Walking into the stockade scared me. There was a pile of corpses piled up next to the door of the house, like a small hill bag. There were men, women, and children in this mountain of corpses, and some of them didn't look like they were human. Suddenly, I saw a guy still holding a scroll back to the city, which means that he is a player. It seems that it's not just NPCs here.
Because the mountain of corpses was too high, the corpses below were squeezed, and the blood flowed outside, and the underground had been gathered into a small puddle. That's where the fishy smell comes from.
"It's disgusting!" Xiao Chun couldn't stand such an exciting scene.
Scott said, "Could it be that this monster likes to eat jerky?" If it weren't for the cold, it would be full of flies. ”
"Look around, there's something worth asking for."
Scott immediately commanded, "You two over there, you over there, you go over there, Alfred." Come with me over here. ”
As soon as they dispersed, I received Ling's psychic contact. "Master."
"What's wrong?"
"The tree where the woman was located was pushed crooked by zombies. It can break at any time. ”
"Leave her alone. Your duty is to watch her and don't let her run, those zombies just ate her, and you don't move. ”
"Understood." After the explanation, I also started to search the village, of course Xiaochun followed me, she didn't want to stand here and look at the corpse mountain.
It turned out to be a bandit's den, and I found a lot of embroidered weapons and samurai armor in one house. There is also a room next to it with a lot of copper plates, but pick it up and take a look. It turned out to be a plot item. In other words, these copper plates are not money.
"Master, we found something." Scott called me outside.
"Here we are."
When I ran out, I saw Scott calling me outside a room on the other side of the stockade, and hurried over. Walked up to Scott and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"You know when you see it."
I pushed the door open and walked in, and there were several knights standing inside, and in the middle of the room was a cage. The cage is made of wood, and its purpose is not to lock up wild beasts, but to lock up people. There were living people in the cage, and there was more than one.
"Who are you?" This person didn't feel nervous at all, I didn't expect him to be in the mood to ask me who I was. Judging by his outfit, he should be a Japanese samurai. And it's a gamer.
"Does it matter?"
"Absolutely." The samurai asked, "Are you a player?" ”
"Why do you think I'm a gamer?"
"NPCs don't talk like that." That guy is shrewd.
"You're all players?" This cage is so big, there are more than 30 people in it, I don't really believe it's all players.
"Just look at the reaction." The guy said, "It's the NPCs who huddle in the corner and shiver. The rest are the players. ”
Just look at it. There are eleven women and two men shrunk in the corner, and they should all be NPC players who are basically not afraid of death, and they can be resurrected if they die anyway. Everyone is trying to find a way to get out, and some people are cutting down the wall with weapons, but the house is obviously reinforced and cannot be damaged at all.
"You've all been caught, haven't you?"
"Nonsense, are you going to come in on your own? A sucker! "It was another guy who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked like a playboy.
The knight of Suzune, who was standing next to him, put the knight's spear into the cage and gave him a club, knocking the guy to his stomach. "Thou shalt not be unreasonable to the master."
"Who are you?" That guy was quite fierce when he was lying on the ground.
The bell knight was about to attack again, but the guy ran to the middle, and the spear was not long enough. I didn't shout to stop, this kind of person will be killed when he kills, no different from pinching an ant to death. He's still hiding in the middle of the cage and shouting. There is no good fruit for offending the bell knights, these guys are basically the extremely inhuman type, and the best way to do it after they are caught is to commit suicide as much as possible.
