Yang Shou was not idle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yang Shou was very satisfied with the performance of the friendly army, and he suggested that Caroline organize a cavalry squad, because he knew that there was a team of heavy cavalry in the army, which was brought out by Caroline from Cedar Town, and the combat strength was strong.

But the cavalry can only sweep away the small main force of the undead, and cannot take care of the hidden undead scouts.

This is Yang Shou's specialty.

The night was like water, and Yang Shoumao bent his waist and walked silently in the canyon full of gravel.

Relying on his vague memories and the general terrain observed at the heights during the day, Yang Shou could basically determine the location of the treasure.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and grabbing the sky! It is only right to take advantage of the darkness to get things done quickly, this is not far from the straight-line distance of the military camp, there is no cover of night, Yang Shou has no chance to explore the treasure here in broad daylight.

Suddenly, in the shadow of the stone in front of the left, a red light was fleeting.

Yang Shou saw this scene in his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said in his heart that low-level undead were not suitable for the scout industry at all, and these blood-red eyes were also piercing.

Two minutes later, Yang Shou used his hands and feet together, and had quietly walked around the other party's back, spotted the skeleton frame lying on the ground "pretending to be dead", and raised his hand to be a sword!

"Huh!"

The sword was clean and neat, the skeleton was directly cut in half, and the head and half of the shoulders flew out with a "bang".

"System Prompt: You Killed the Skeleton Warrior"

"You gain 1 XP"

Two lines of system prompts floated out of the field of vision, and Yang Shou nodded with satisfaction.

It's different if you change guys, +2 armor piercing is really not in vain, and you don't have to worry about cutting these skeleton shelves anymore.

This is the fifth skeleton that Yang Shou has killed tonight, but the reward is very small.

After reaching level 2, the experience of killing skeletons is only half of the previous one, but the experience required to upgrade has increased by 100%, and it is not so easy to fill the experience slot.

Yang Shou unwillingly pulled the broken bones, which was still expected to be zero gain.

"Damn, it's all iron rooster."

Yang Shou was indignant, got up and left, and continued to move towards the top of the hillside.

The two sides of the canyon seem to be empty, but when you get closer, you will find that there are many deep paths between the boulder forests, and the two sides are messy with gravel, and the big ones can be three or four meters high.

Especially the area in front of Yang Shou, it looks like a maze at a glance, and there is no end in sight.

Yang Shou stopped to take a closer look, but a smile appeared on his face: if I remember correctly, through this stone forest, you can see the poplar forest where the treasure is located.

"Click......"

A series of strange friction sounds came from a distance, and Yang Shou was stunned and immediately lay down. When he raised his head and saw the scene above the hillside, he couldn't help frowning and habitually scratching his chin.

Not far in front of the stone forest, more than a dozen skeletons stood in place, their scarlet eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, and they were very vigilant.

In the middle of the skeletons, there stood two unidentified creatures with pitch black bodies.

Their bodies were slender, slightly hunched, and their two arms were a little strangely long, and they actually hung directly to the ground. The huge head trembled slightly, and it seemed that the friction sound of "click" should have come from its mouth.

Yang Shou was so familiar with this thing that even if he only saw one outline, he could be sure that it was two ghouls.

That's going to be tough......

Ghouls are undead creatures starting at level 5, with their own toxins and bleeding effects, and their actions are very agile, which is not at the same level as skeleton warriors, and is very difficult.

With Yang Shou's current strength, seeing that the ghoul has only one choice to turn around and escape, and eighty percent can't run away.

It won't be so unlucky, will it...... What to do? Abandon this treasure?

Yang Shou frowned, unwilling, shrunk behind the stone, looked at the dark stone forest above, and thought hard.

Suddenly, Yang Shou's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of one thing: Wait, could it be that these skeletons are also here for treasure?

By the time the treasure was discovered, the Great War in the Canyon had already begun, meaning it would be at least a week later. Looking at the current situation, the treasure in the game was likely to have been discovered by the undead in advance before the players arrived here......

If that's the case, could it be that these undead have taken something from here?

When this treasure is later discovered by the player, there are still things inside, and the treasure level is B...... Assuming they did take something from the treasure, how high was the original level of the treasure, B+, or A?

Thinking of this, Yang Shou couldn't help but feel excited, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

Treasure in The Witcher, like equipment, is clearly classified. From the lowest E rank to the highest S+, each level of treasure corresponds to a different treasure tier.

Don't look at the difference between A-grade treasures and B-grade treasures by only one letter, and the value of the treasures is at least ten times different!

Yang Shou had already retreated a second, but now he made up his mind that this treasure must be obtained!

In public and private, this treasure cannot be taken away by the undead, who knows what treasures are hidden inside.

Yang Shou knew that he had to make a decision immediately, in case a vampire, a ghost or something came later, then there was really no way to live.

Staring at the undead squad not far away, Yang Shou narrowed his eyes and quietly retreated into the distance.

……

It was almost dawn, and the undead who had been harassing had basically been cleared, and calm had returned to the area around the barracks.

Caroline commanded the heavy cavalry, swept away the undead around the camp, and temporarily returned to the main camp.

Standing in front of her camp, Caroline looked up at the starry night sky, and couldn't help but think of her conversation with Yang Shou again.

Thinking of His Majesty the Emperor, who she had loved so fondly since she was a child, Caroline instinctively felt that her suspicions were wrong. But after listening to Yang Shou's words today, every bit of doubt and speculation from before came to the heart of the female lord.

As Caroline's most trusted elder, the Swordmaster Duke has always been noncommittal in this matter - never talking about Caroline's parents, and never answering similar questions.

But as Caroline grew older and reflected on the bits and pieces of her life over the years, it became clearer and clearer that the teacher had been implying herself all along.

Don't get too close to the people in the court, don't trust His Majesty the Emperor.

Combined with Yang Shou's words, it is impossible for Caroline not to think about it: What if, in case what Yang Shou said is true, she has been living with her biggest enemy for so many years?

With a light sigh, Caroline lowered her head and pulled a necklace from her neck.

The necklace is adorned with a thumb-sized crystal pendant, a gift from the Emperor when Caroline was made a viscount and lord of Cedar Town.

What is the truth?

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Jane came out of the tent, draped Caroline over a thick cloak, and asked with some concern.

Caroline smiled and shook her head, signaling that she was okay.

Wait until you go back, go back, and ask the teacher about it. There are some things that time cannot erase.

The two were about to return to their tent when a white light suddenly burst out on the western slope of the canyon, illuminating half of the night sky and reflecting the pretty faces of the two girls in a silvery white.

The sound of fireworks followed and spread throughout the barracks.

"Thorn ...... Bang! ”

The fireworks exploded in a somewhat strange position, not vertically upwards, but in an oblique parabola, which exploded close to the top of the hillside.

As a result, a group of skeleton soldiers guarding outside the stone forest, as well as the shriveled ghoul with a terrible face, were exposed to the sight of nearly a hundred sentinels patrolling the camp.

The soldiers had long been angry, and these skeletons were running around at night, making everyone unable to rest. Therefore, seeing the undead gathered on the hillside, the nearest sentry had already driven his horse forward without the commander's order.

Yang Shou, who had just finished the fireworks, hid in the dark, and waited for this team of sentries to rush up with torches, and soon found a familiar figure inside.

Scarface rode a large white horse, and the first horse rushed to the front. His weapon was lost to Yang Shou, and he took a broad-bladed long knife from nowhere, with a hideous face, brandishing the weapon and heading straight for the undead troops not far away.

Yang Shou grinned when he saw this, and said in his heart that this person didn't seem to be in a good mood, I don't know if it was because he lost his weapon. Okay, let him touch the nail and calm down.

In a head-on conflict, if the undead army does not have a numerical advantage, it will be difficult to resist the human army, and the only trouble is the two ghouls.

Ghouls move quickly and are infinitely powerful, completely surpassing skeleton creeps. When the human soldiers were still about ten meters away from the other party, the two ghouls had already howled wildly and pounced on the cavalry at the front.

"Herod~"

The horses that rushed to the front had never seen such an enemy, and the neck was clenched tightly by the ghouls, and the two front hooves were violently raised high, and they let out a terrible scream. Scarface, on horseback, was caught off guard, lost his balance, and fell hard to the ground.

Fortunately, the person next to him reacted quickly, and two spears stabbed at one left and one right, barely slowing down the ghoul's movements.

Scarface's face turned pale with fright, and he jerked back with his hands and feet, apparently like everyone else, the first time he had seen such a vicious monster.

As if sensing trouble on the mountain, more torches began to gather below the hillside. At the same time, in a corner that neither side noticed, Yang Shou cautiously crawled forward, silently circling behind the skeleton soldiers.

Before entering the stone forest, Yang Shou glanced back, the human army had formed an encirclement of the vicinity, and the two ghouls couldn't make any waves.

Moreover, Yang Shou was also happy to see the appearance of high-level undead, so that everyone could also be a little mentally prepared for the later battle. Yang Shou couldn't tell Caroline about these things, he just hoped to arouse her vigilance as much as possible.

Seeing that the scuffle between the two sides was about to break out, Yang Shou's figure slowly retreated into the shadows and disappeared into the stone forest.
