The gloomy and desolate Canyon of the Dead, surrounded by steep mountain peaks, has only one entrance and exit, which is also closed by the Great Templar forces.

From the outside, the Canyon of the Dead doesn't seem to be very large, at most the size of a small city. But once you go inside, you will find this strange canyon, which is amazingly large, as if you have entered another space.

The Clergy Order had sent expeditions to get a rough idea of what was going on in the canyon, but they didn't investigate it in detail because of the resistance.

At present, it is known that in the middle of the canyon, there are three towers in the shape of a zigzag, and there is a stone tablet in front of each tower, which has some instructions inscribed in the Arad continental script, and points out the name of the builder of these three towers - Death Drifus!

In addition to this, at the southern end of the three towers, an altar resembling a flat-topped pyramid was built. There is also a stone tablet inscription in front of the altar, and the person who left the name is the builder of this altar, the god of death, Agares.

From these buildings alone, one can guess that there are at least two Grim Reapers' entrenched in the Canyon of the Dead. Of course, it can't be the real body of the Grim Reaper, and this is at most their doppelganger.

In other parts of the canyon, as long as there is a gray and dark underworld death qi covering, there are some white bones that can move freely, which are the lowest but most numerous skeleton soldiers among the undead creatures.

Different from the various skeletons in the Dark City dungeon in the DNF game, the skeleton soldiers here are snow-white, similar to ordinary people, wearing tattered iron armor and holding tattered swords, and are the most orthodox undead creatures in Western legends.

Originally, there were many skeleton soldiers at the entrance to the canyon, but now they have been cleared by the Clergy Order in advance, opening up a path to the middle.

Therefore, the large army led by the three Sword Masters did not encounter skeleton soldiers at first, and after a day of smooth progress, they saw these white skeletons with green soul fire dancing in their eyes.

Due to the size of the canyon of the dead, Archbishop Margello was afraid that the adventurers who entered it would encounter danger if they moved separately, so he specially told them to move forward in a group first, and then slowly disperse, but remember not to scatter too much, and they must call for help as soon as they encounter danger.

It's a pity that the old man Magello is shrewd, but he still ignores the greedy nature of human beings.

Scattered orange and gold coins can be found everywhere in the land of the Canyon of the Dead, a small trick played by the Grim Reaper to tease these greedy adventurers.

Needless to say, this little trick is just too effective. After only one day of the procession, many people broke away and scattered in search of the gold coins.

As the leader of the three sword masters, among them, Forrest Gump is a silent warrior who is a charging type of warrior with zero command talent; Xilan is a chatterbox, with the most unreliable personality, and is very good at jokes, so he is blind when he leads the team; Only Barn is the head of the Imperial Knights, even if he doesn't usually take care of things, his command ability is definitely not weak.

It's a pity that Barn is not a good person, so he doesn't bother to care about the life or death of those adventurers, and pretends to persuade a few words, but when he sees that it has no effect, he reluctantly shakes his head and says that he can't do anything.

The little bald head Shinzang and the other paladin uncle in a group of three sword saints are not commander-type talents. Seeing that the large team was becoming more and more dispersed, it was useless for them to be in a hurry, and in the end they could only send a message back, hoping that Archbishop Margello would send some men to take care of these adventurers who wanted money and did not want to die.

Don't look at the fact that they have only encountered a few skeleton soldiers now, but the strength of these white skeletons is not weak, and the average strength is above the adventurers who have just changed jobs, that is, they have exceeded level 15.

In the face of Forrest Gump and the others, these skeleton shelves can't turn up any waves at all, but once other adventurers who are not strong are surrounded by a few skeleton soldiers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Hey!" The little bald Xinzang looked at the increasingly scattered team, sighed helplessly, and said: "These people are too imprudent, for the sake of a few gold coins, they don't even care about their own safety, and if this continues, something will go wrong sooner or later!" ”

"Human nature is like this, it's useless for you to be in a hurry. Haven't you heard of the principles of that businessman? Half of the benefits, they dare to take risks; If there is a double interest, they dare to trample on all legal and moral constraints; If there are several times the benefits, they don't even want their lives. ”

Xi Lan smiled and played with the few gold coins he had just picked up, and said indifferently: "This person, you have to be taught a lesson to know the pain." Let's leave it alone, when they suffer, they will naturally unite. But then again, this Canyon of the Dead is really good, those Grim Reapers' thieves are also rich, and the gold coins are actually thrown away, and now our wine money has fallen! ”

Forrest Gump casually slashed a skeleton soldier that rushed up, frowned and looked at the gray sky in front of him, thought about it, and couldn't help but turn his head to Barn and said: "From here on, the number of skeleton soldiers has gradually increased, and it is estimated that there will be a hard battle in front of those towers." We're still talking about it on our side, but I'm a little worried about Nuo Yu and Tianyi's side. Although they were exploring the terrain along the mountain wall, it was still very dangerous if they encountered more than 100 skeletons. ”

The Order of the Clergy also wanted to send people to investigate the terrain in the Canyon of the Dead, but the manpower was limited, and if a large force was not divided to attract the fire of the skeletons, the reconnaissance force would be 100% killed.

Fortunately, more than a thousand adventurers were gathered this time, and more adventurers will join in the future, effectively dispersing the strength of the skeleton soldiers, so Archbishop Magello dared to appoint Ying Tianyi and others to investigate, and even arranged his only granddaughter in the team.

However, when Forrest Gump and the others really entered the canyon and walked a certain distance, they realized the trouble of these skeleton soldiers.

The strength of these bone frames is really not strong, but I can't stand the large number of them! The Valley of the Dead has been silent for two hundred years, and I don't know how many skeleton soldiers have been bred, and now the early days of the canyon opening are definitely the most dangerous period. If anyone is lucky enough to encounter the legendary "Sea of Skulls", it is really cool to play with their little life.

This is not the most terrifying, because no one knows if there are any undead creatures in the canyon that are more advanced than skeleton soldiers. Therefore, Forrest Gump, who values feelings, is worried about Ying Tianyi's team, for fear that they will encounter danger after going deep into the canyon.

However, Barn waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if we are in danger, Tianyi's side will never be fine." In fact, you don't know Tianyi's kid at all, and even I don't know his hole cards, so I can only analyze it from some superficial situations. But even these superficial situations are much stronger than ours! ”

Barn had already learned from Cyrus's report that Ying Tianyi was followed by a terrifying ghost god - Saya!

He didn't know how Ying Tianyi got in touch with Saya, but he didn't want to delve into it, after all, everyone has some of their own little secrets.

With Saya by Ying Tianyi's side, not to mention those little skeleton soldiers, even if he encounters the Grim Reaper clone, Barn doesn't worry much about him.

The actual situation was similar to what Bath expected, but there were some differences.

Ying Tianyi's side really didn't encounter danger, not even a little danger, but this was not Saya's credit, but Ying Tianyi's own ability.

The underworld death qi that permeated the entire Canyon of the Dead, the moment Ying Tian first came into contact with it, he discovered the essence of these dead qi.

To put it bluntly, except for those demons who crawled out of the abyss underground, everything else in the underworld is basically made of soul essence. The status of soul essence in the underworld is equivalent to the basic elements that make up all things in the human world.

Therefore, the death qi of the underworld is essentially a thin soul essence mist, this thing is not only harmless to Yingtian, but a great supplement!

After merging with the game system, Ying Tianyi's strongest ability is to absorb soul essence and improve his own strength, and this ability is still passive, which is equivalent to body instinct.

After the death of a living being, the soul will carry some resentment of the deceased, and even if it is decomposed into soul essence, these resentments cannot be erased. Therefore, after a living person comes into contact with the death qi of the underworld, it is easy to be eroded by these resentments, and the consequences are unimaginable. Only Ying Tianyi, a special existence, devours soul essence as experience points, is simply the nemesis of all soul bodies, and is not afraid of the so-called resentment.

Therefore, when he stepped into the Canyon of the Dead, his body immediately began to automatically absorb the death qi of the underworld that permeated his surroundings, and instantly stimulated him to almost jump.

Half of them are happy, and half are surprised!

Happily, as long as he stands in the Valley of the Dead, he can absorb the soul essence all the time, although the amount is very small, but it adds up to a lot, which is definitely very beneficial to his upgrading cause.

Surprisingly, this ghost place is the territory of the Grim Reaper, and if the Grim Reaper finds out that he is "stealing food" here, the consequences will be ...... It's scary to think about!

However, he came in and wanted to quit again, first, he was reluctant, and second, he had no excuses, which stumped him.

Stubbornly walked forward, and the result became more and more bizarre.

Why weird?

Because Ying Tianyi found through the ultra-distant vision of the "Eagle Eye" that those skeleton soldiers who were white and very "cute" all over, I don't know if they instinctively tended to avoid harm, and as soon as they got within 100 meters of him, they all ran away immediately, and they didn't dare to approach him.

The reason he also guessed was that these undead creatures relied on the condensed soul fire in their heads to maintain their second life. And these soul fires are actually soul essences that are huddled together, and once they get close to his body, they will have the possibility of being absorbed.

In this way, even if the skeleton soldiers no longer have wisdom, they still have the instinct to survive, and the ghost dares to approach the great evil star of Ying Tianyi.

Maybe the higher-level undead creatures have stronger soul fires before they dare to contact Ying Tianyi.

Discovering this situation, Ying Tianyi smiled bitterly. He bet that if he continued to stay in the canyon, he would soon be discovered by the Grim Reaper, which was not his original intention!

Therefore, Ying Tianyi, who was depressed, only cared about picking up the gold coins on the ground, which was regarded as an extra small fortune, and turned a blind eye to the doubts of Nuo Yu and Obes.

Noyu didn't know much about the situation in the canyon of the dead, but Obes, the paladin, knew very well. She also discovered the abnormality of those skeleton soldiers, but she couldn't figure out what made those skeleton soldiers dare not attack them, could it be that the Holy Light Talisman they wore was so powerful?

Aisha, who followed Ying Tianyi, secretly observed Ying Tianyi while picking up gold coins, and she was the first person to see something unusual about Ying Tianyi.

As for Lotit, she knew more than Aisha, but would never say it. Because part of the soul essence absorbed by Ying Tianyi was distributed to her, she is now a semi-systematic special existence......

Just when Forrest Gump and the others were fighting and walking, and Ying Tianyi was worried about picking up the gold coins, in a tall tower in the center of the Valley of the Dead, several special beings were holding a meeting around the round table.

There were five people in the room, all of whom were wearing hooded cloaks, making it difficult to see their faces.

In the center of the round table around them, a huge crystal ball floated out of thin air, showing the situation in the canyon from an aerial angle.

At this time, the crystal ball screen is a close-up, and the person shown in it is none other than Ying Tianyi, who is looking down to pick up the gold coin.

The gray cloaked man sitting at the top of the center, with two points of blue light looming under the hood, seemed to be staring at the crystal ball, and said in a strange voice with a metallic texture: "You have all seen it, this human in white clothes is the person I have been paying attention to for a long time. His abilities are exceptional, and he is most likely the 'Soul Eater' among us who has been absent to this day. Next, we need to take action and test him to see if he is the little brother we have been waiting for for a long time! ”

A man in a red cloak on the left raised his head suddenly, revealing an ugly face under the hood that was white and bloodless, with only a layer of skin wrapped around bones, and said with a smile: "If he is really our little brother, then using my altar to test him should be the most suitable choice." The Soul Eater has a very special ability, and in the face of the army of undead creatures, it will only become more and more courageous. It just so happens that my subordinates have summoned a group of special undead, so let's let them be the appetizers of the seventh child! ”

"That's a good idea! Then I'll leave it to you, Agares. The gray-cloaked man in the center nodded and said, "The others and I will continue to observe here, and also pay attention to the stronger toys." By the way, that guy has been having fun in the world for thousands of years, and it's time for her to come back and do something serious. Astros, you go out and call the sixth back! ”

"Yes, sir!" A slender figure wrapped in shadows quietly appeared at the round table, and after respectfully accepting the order, it disappeared without a sound......
