Chapter 36: Lord-level monsters that don't attack players

For more than a week, Ye Scar was learning to drive in painstaking ways, and every day he entered the game only to brush the undead skeletons and undead zombies on the periphery of the Valley of the Dead, he had no idea that at this time, the entire Kingdom of Gran was being tossed and turned around because of him. Heavenly Fire has set up checkpoints in almost every town in the territory of Grimm, and even used a carpet search raid to explore the leveling maps or dungeon ports that players can go to at this stage.

However, even though the Heavenly Fire Rebellion dispatched thousands of people to search on a large scale, no trace of leaf marks has ever been found. You must know that even in the previous life, few players knew about the hidden map of the Valley of the Dead, not to mention that the mainstream players in the game have not yet reached level 25.

At this time, Ye Zhen was thinking about learning to drive, and he didn't have the heart to care about anything else, except for the experience of brushing up online every day, he hadn't even been on the game forum for a long time, so he knew almost nothing about the situation outside the game.

A backstab eliminated an undead zombie covered in carrion, a brilliant white light fell from the sky, and after more than a week of hard training, Ye Scar finally rose to level 26.

"It's up so quickly." Hearing the upgraded system prompt, Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it seems that he has been in the Valley of the Dead for a long time.

Shaking his head vigorously, Ye Zhen temporarily threw out the complicated picture of learning to drive in his mind, and started to sneak into the depths of the Valley of the Dead. It's been here for so long, it's time to go and see what's going on inside, according to past experience, almost all maps marked on the map of the hundred clans have a lord-level monster sitting on it. Even though he can't kill the lord monster yet, Ye Scar knows very well that the more powerful the monster, the more valuable equipment or props will often be hidden around him.

The further you go inside, the more yin qi in the Valley of the Dead becomes, and the silence is a little breathless. Breathing rapidly, Ye Zhen couldn't help but tighten the dagger in his hand, concentrating on high vigilance, in case there was any terrifying monster attack, he had to react as soon as possible.

After walking for a while, Ye Zhen was surprised to find that the deeper he went into the valley, the number of undead skeletons and undead zombies became smaller and smaller. From the skeletal zombies that can be seen everywhere in the valley, and now he rarely sees these things anymore, he can't help but wonder what is hidden in the depths of this lifeless Valley of the Dead.

Looking at the front of me, the canyon, which has always been straight, actually appeared at a 90-degree corner, and in the dim and dead atmosphere, I couldn't see what the corner looked like at all, and the situation seemed a little weird.

Ye Zhen continued to raise his feet and walked forward, his nerves tensed even more, ready to deal with sudden situations at any time.

When he came to the corner and turned to look ahead, the picture in his eyes suddenly made Ye Zhen gasp, and his face turned pale. I saw that about twenty or thirty meters ahead, a pool full of blood-red liquid lay across the valley, and a skeleton with blood-red soul flames dancing in its eye sockets was bathed in the deep pool of blood flowing, and the picture was extremely strange.

"This is," looking at the pool of flowing bright red blood, thin beads of sweat couldn't help but appear on Ye Zhen's forehead, and even breathing was a little difficult. How many people's blood does it take to fill this pool in front of me? And how can there be blood in the Valley of the Dead, which is also a little too terrifying.

Just as Ye Zhen was still staring at the pool of blood in front of him in a daze, a creepy cold voice suddenly resounded in the air, and the skeleton with red flames dancing in its eyes actually crawled out of the pool of blood.

"Show up, human beings hidden in the dark, you can't escape the perception of my soul." The red flame in the eye socket of the skeleton in the distance jumped a few times, it was different from the white appearance of the elite-level undead skeleton, the bones on its body were blood-red, and there were still droplets of blood flowing on the skeleton, which made people dare not look at it directly.

A faint voice came, Ye Zhen was suddenly startled, although he was only in a stealth state at this time, he was still twenty or thirty meters away from the blood-colored skeleton, you must know that even if it was a lord-level monster, it could only perceive a sneaking assassin within a range of 20 meters.

The brain was running at high speed, and just as Ye Scar was still thinking about whether to show up, the blood-colored skeleton suddenly spoke again, "Do you want me to help you show up, if I wanted to kill you, you would have turned into a pile of dry bones." ”

A low and conceited voice came, but Ye Zhen didn't dare to doubt whether the blood-colored skeleton in front of him had that ability, he lifted his sneak and appeared in the air, and then asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

asked politely, but Ye Zhen didn't dare to have a trace of luck in his heart, the monsters that don't attack players in the game, he had never heard of them in two lifetimes.

"You can call me Florento, or you can call me the Skeleton King." The bloodless skull's fleshless mouth twitched a few times, and no expression was discernible on its face.

"Skeleton King..."Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Florendor was probably at least a lord-level strength, but he didn't know why it didn't attack himself. Ye Zhen pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Was Your Excellency once a human being?" ”

"Humans?" Hearing Ye Zhen's inquiry, Florendo hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Zhen again, and said thoughtfully, "That was many years ago, little one, do you want to know the origin and past of the Valley of the Dead?" ”

"Listen to me." Ye Zhen replied solemnly, he had already been a little curious, according to the map of the hundred tribes, the places he had traveled to, including the Bantu Ruins in Loulan, the Pazik Grottoes, the Gaochang Labyrinth and Grimm's Goblin Lair, almost every place had an unusual history, but this Valley of the Dead, he didn't know at all.

"Good." Skeleton King Florendo nodded with satisfaction, and then began to fall into a long memory, "In the era when the Freedom City was not yet established, the continuous wars burned the entire Yilan Continent, Ling Tian, Loulan, Grimm and the four kingdoms of ice and snow competed for supremacy, among them, the country that fought the most fiercely with the kingdom of Grimm was the ice and snow country in the east of the continent. ”

Listening to Florento's narration, Ye Zhen nodded thoughtfully, he also had some understanding of the background of the game, in that era, in addition to the deep grudge between Loulan and Ling Tian, the contradictions and disputes between the Green Kingdom and the Ice and Snow Kingdom had always been hostile. Therefore, during the period of the two tigers fighting each other after the establishment of the Free City, a situation immediately formed on the mainland in which Loulan fought against Ling Tian and Green fought against Bing Xue.

"About fifteen hundred years ago, a long-lasting war broke out between Grimm and Ice and Snow, and at the beginning of the war, almost everyone, including the Holy See, thought that this war would be as usual, and that it would be stopped because of the mutual constraints of the four kingdoms. However, in less than half a year, the people of Grimm discovered that this time the Ice and Snow Country was almost waging war with the purpose of uprooting the Grimm Kingdom. ”

"In that war, the Ice and Snow Nation not only dispatched ninety percent of its army, but also sent all the ice mages from all over the country. Under the attack of the Ice and Snow Country, the Kingdom of Green was defeated and retreated, and it took only half a year for them to capture the last arch of the royal capital, Cantro Town, and the royal capital of Green City was in danger. Florendo sighed lightly, and his tone suddenly became sharp, "At that time, the Pope of the Holy See was an old immortal named Joseph, this person was ignorant, if he hadn't looked down on his opponent from the beginning, how could the Kingdom of Grimm be so easily defeated by the Ice and Snow Nation with a small difference in strength!" ”

"Uh..."Hearing the angry voice of the Skeleton King, Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel ashamed, in the territory of Grimm, he dared to say that the Holy Pope was an old immortal, except for the player, I am afraid that this Skeleton King in front of him is the only one.

Florento's mind was completely immersed in the memories at this time, where would he pay attention to Ye Zhen's thoughts, he only paused slightly, and then recounted, "After the ice and snow army captured the town of Cantero, Joseph's old fellow finally became anxious, and he panicked and ordered the third army of Green, who was in charge of defending the royal capital, to immediately go out to stop the ice and snow army. Even in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Third Legion, he hypocritically blessed the entire Legion with beast blood at the expense of his life, pretending to be fake. ”

"And then?" Ye Zhen subconsciously asked, he had never heard of how the Pope was bright and majestic, but today he finally heard another version.

"The soldiers of the Third Legion are all hot-blooded men in the prime of life, and when they received the order, the 30,000 soldiers of the entire legion marched from the royal capital and went straight to the town of Cantro, which was occupied by the enemy, with a momentum like a rainbow!" Florendo said, there was a hint of excitement in his tone, and without the slightest pause, his words resounded in the air again, "With 30,000 troops resisting the ice and snow, including hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of thousands of ice magicians, the Third Legion simply stopped the ice and snow army for seven days, and did not take a step back. ”

"However, after all, they were still outnumbered, and after the Third Army had lost half of its men, the commander knew that it would be impossible to hold back the enemy's offensive with the remaining forces, and that if the battle continued, all the sergeants would die in the town of Cantro. In order to preserve his strength, the legion commander decided to temporarily retreat to the Grand Canyon at Right Angles, dozens of miles away, which is now the Valley of the Dead. ”

"Valley of the Dead?" Ye Zhen suddenly shouted, recalling Florento's performance just now, as if he had suddenly caught something, "May I ask if you have anything to do with the Third Legion?" ”

Hearing Ye Zhen's question, the red flames dancing in Florento's eyes suddenly paused, and he muttered, "I am the commander of Green's Third Legion, Florento." ”

A hoarse and low voice came out of his throat and passed to Ye Zhen's ears, and he was suddenly frightened and Ye Zhen took a few steps back, and this guy in front of him turned out to be an old monster who had lived for more than 1,500 years...
