Chapter 3 The night is dark and the wind is high
The two formed a temporary squad, and the basic situation was roughly as follows:
Lin Yang, a level 10 thief, armed with a twin dagger.
Fanny, a level 15 fire mage, also has a small amount of light magic, and the weapon is a vine staff.
Soon, the night enveloped the Revenant Mountain Range, which resembled a rough ancient black dragon across the southern border of the Red Moon Empire.
The wind roared in the mountains, and the grass and trees flew like a dragon roaring.
Lin Yang and Fanny entered the realm of the Revenant Mountain Range in the dark, and as soon as they stepped into this forbidden land of life, the dirt and rocks on the ground obviously turned black, and a strong aura of death that could not be dissolved came to their faces, and the cold wind that blew was cold and biting, and the two of them couldn't help but shiver all over their bodies.
"I'm a little scared......" Fanny whispered from behind, before swinging her staff to unleash a ball of light that lit up as bright as day within a radius of a few meters.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." As he spoke, Lin Yang half-squatted down and began his sneaking footwork.
The two of them went several kilometers deeper into the interior of the mountain range and climbed to the top of a low mountain.
The top of the mountain is bare, and the few ancient trees are completely black, and they have been dead for many years.
"Look, there's light!" Fanny said, pointing to a col not far away.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
The two walked forward on foot, and when they got closer, the sound of screaming and killing came slowly, and they saw that in a black forest, there was a team of men and horses, about thirty or forty people, all of them were knights wearing armor and holding swords and shields, and they were fighting with five necromancers, and the necromancers summoned waves of skeletons, ghouls, undead, and evil creatures, and the knights all exuded a soft white light, and the weapons in their hands rippled with holy brilliance, slashing towards the skeletons, and the sound of gold and iron clashing continued to sound.
"It's the Royal Guards of the Red Moon Imperial Family!" Fanny exclaimed, "Oh my God, I thought they were just ordinary knights, but I didn't expect them to be all paladins!" It's no wonder that the Red Moon Imperial Family has become the most powerful force in the Empire......"
"If you don't want to be discovered, don't make a noise!" Lin Yang scolded in a low voice.
The army of death met the paladin, like a fortress made of sand in a great flood, vulnerable to a great flood. However, there were still a few paladins who fell to the ground under the siege of skeletons and ghouls.
Among them was a paladin, both his size and the heavily armed war horse under his crotch, who was one size larger than the others, and the light of the greatsword in his hand was as bright as day, and in the middle of the army of death, the greatsword slashed down, and a poor necromancer was cut in two by the waist.
"Tsk, Morse, the captain of the Royal Guard of the Red Moon Empire, is really powerful! But you're going to die here tonight! In the distance, a necromancer let out a terrible laugh, his hands slowly lit up with a purple-black demonic light, and it seemed that he was preparing some powerful spell.
"Interrupt him!" Morse shouted, and several paladins instantly outflanked him.
……
Lin Yang took Fanny and bypassed the battle here far away and continued to go deeper.
After traveling dozens of miles, another wave of men and horses broke out into a battle, this time on the halfway of a certain mountain.
The two sides of the battle were a group of fifty elemental mages sent by the Wind Castle Mage Academy, thirty battle dwarves from the Dwarf Tower, and twenty necromancers and three lichs on the opposite side.
Elemental mages vs. necromancers, on the one hand, are large-scale magic attacks, on the other hand, they summon undead creatures in large quantities, and the magic always has a moment when they run out, and it takes time to drink blue medicine to replenish them, and undead creatures will exist for a long time as long as they are summoned, so although the number of necromancers suffers, the two sides are still evenly matched.
For a while, all kinds of flame explosions, lightning flashes, and freezing effects rendered half of the sky, and on the other side, a dense army of necromancers was also advancing.
Fighting dwarves and lichs is different.
The battle dwarves who came out of the dwarf tower are accustomed to using heavy weapons such as axes and war hammers, and their physical defense is amazing, but they are better at fortifications and are very weak in magic resistance. Lich, an advanced profession of necromancer after the end of his life, has signed a contract with death and achieved an alternative kind of eternal life, with extremely tenacious vitality, and also has the skill of a necromancer to summon undead creatures.
So the battle on this side can be said to be one-sided.
At the most critical moment, a group of centaurs suddenly rushed out of the surrounding Black Forest, this group of centaurs was very strange, and did not belong to any of the powerful forces of the Red Moon Empire, archers, elemental mages, witch doctors, paladins, thieves, druids, priests, and even bards, all of them bloomed in a unique way.
"It's a team formed by the players themselves...... Fanny immediately recognized it, and suddenly wanted to help out.
"Let's go, there is no suspense in this battle." Lin Yang lurked under an ancient tree not far away, and said solemnly: "I'm sure something big is going to happen soon!" The sooner you get in, the sooner you get a head start! ”
"Hmm." Fanny nodded, finally resisting the idea of going out to help, and muttered, "I have seen three of the five powerful forces from all over the empire, I'm afraid we are not far from the central area of the Revenant Mountain Range, what is there there......"
……
Sure enough, after the two of them had advanced some distance, they saw a certain powerful force that was well-known in the empire.
This time it was a half-orc berserker from the orc forest, about a hundred or so people, and across from them were ten lichs, and the two centaurs were still talking, and there was no sign of making a move for the time being.
Although the lich is terrifying, the attack power of the orc berserker is even more terrifying once it goes berserk.
Perhaps because of this, the two sides seem to be very harmonious for the time being.
This time, Lin Yang directly ignored them and fled away.
When you climb the slope of a mountain, you suddenly see a basin surrounded by mountains.
The basin is as large as a radius of tens of miles, and the land is completely scorched, not to mention the trees, there is simply no grass.
A small group of men and horses was marching rapidly on the basin.
"This is ......" Lin Yang showed a stern look for the first time, and he could recognize it at a glance, that team of people and horses were all dragon vein warlocks from Dragon Tooth Mountain.
Dragon Pulse Warlocks, a small group of people who specialize in dragons, also learn the spells and dragon roars that dragons can only have, and some high-level Dragon Pulse Warlocks can even simulate spitting out dragon breath. Those who are familiar with them call them "experts in the study of dragons", while those who are not familiar with them say more directly that "this is a group of dangerous warlocks, an alternative existence among warlocks".
It seems that this time, the dragon vein warlock of Dragon Tooth Mountain can be said to have poured out.
"The dragon vein warlocks of the entire Red Moon Empire combined, I'm afraid they don't have as many ...... as we see now," Fanny said directly.
What is it that will make the dragon vein warlocks of Dragon's Tooth Mountain pour out?
At this moment, Lin Yang had completely ignored the possibility of Chrisina, there was definitely something more dangerous, but they didn't know what to do.
"Just guard it here, it's not right to go now." After saying this, Lin Yang found a rock pile on the hillside, unleashed the thief's concealment skill, and hid all the aura on his body.
For the first time, he thought of retreating.
It's good to be brave and fearless, but if you are too brave, it becomes extreme conceit. Before you act, you must weigh your own weight.
Fanny didn't say much, and immediately found a cave to hide in. She is not a thief, she is not as proficient in concealment as Lin Yang, and hiding outside will most likely be discovered by people passing by.
……
A moment later, groups of men and horses passed around the two of them, and all of them rushed to the basin, and soon, in the middle of the basin, a huge team of more than two hundred people was formed.
Many of them have been wounded, and the wounds of the necromancers and lichs have been tainted with the breath of death, and it is difficult to heal in a short period of time, and even if there is an exclusive priest, the healing effect can only be considered mediocre.
But it is undeniable that none of the people who can stand here at the moment are fuel-efficient lamps.
After a while of talking, the parties reached some kind of agreement, and since Lin Yang was too far away, he couldn't hear what they were saying. Then, I saw dozens of dragon vein warlocks forming a circle, with a diameter of about 100 meters, and the rest of the people were waiting outside, looking around vigilantly, for fear that something unexpected would happen.
"It looks like it's ...... forming a formation" With the experience of the previous few closed tests, Lin Yang judged: "And it needs so many dragon vein warlocks, it is definitely a very huge and terrifying formation." ”
His guess was right, dozens of dragon vein warlocks silently chanted incantations, and dark red light lit up around them, and in the circle with a diameter of 100 meters in the middle, a fiery red six-pointed star magic array slowly formed!
Such a huge six-pointed star magic array, even Lin Yang was rare during several closed betas, not to mention other players and NPCs, and they were all dumbfounded!
However, what is even more strange is that the fiery red six-pointed star magic array has just taken shape, and there is a sudden wave on the ground, and the magic array seems to have thrown a boulder, rippling and surging waves!
At this time, an incomparably tragic black gas slowly seeped out from the ground, as if something was asleep and woke up!
"Roaring ......"
There was a deafening scream, and I saw a black shadow, breaking through the dirt and the earth, and also breaking through the magic array, and going straight to the sky!
"It's over......" Lin Yang chuckled in his heart, I'm afraid he is definitely not the only one who has this kind of thought now: "It looks like the seal has failed......"
The black demon flame covered the sky and the sun, the behemoth was high in the sky, like a demon king who ruled the world, a full moon broke through the dark clouds, the soft light sprinkled down, and the demon flame on the terrifying black shadow also dimmed a little, and everyone could finally see what this thing was.
"Dragon! It's really a dragon! Below, many people exclaimed incredibly: "This legendary thing really exists!" ”
"Oh my God, this is no ordinary dragon, it's the most furious being among the dragons...... "It's a bone dragon!" After death, the soul does not disperse, and resentment attaches to the skeleton, thus forming a bone dragon! ”
"No wonder this place is called the Revenant Mountains, and there are so many necromancers and lichs, it turns out that it is all because of this skull dragon!"
"Let's run before it gets angry, I don't want to die here!"
"No, so many of us join forces, we can definitely kill it!"
The enemy hasn't moved yet, and the ground below is already in disarray.
……
The bone dragon, with a pitch-black demonic flame all over its body, and a scorched skeleton all over its body, seemed to have been burned alive by some powerful flame before his death. It spreads its wings, and its body is 100 meters long and wide, which can really be described as covering the sky and the sun, and the limelight is unique.
The huge dragon head slowly turned, and the tragic aura of death permeated the air, and the bone dragon spat out: "Who is it that woke me up from my deep sleep?" ”
Below, many people were shocked by this dragon might, and no one dared to speak for a while.
"In that case, then you all die under my black flame!" Before the words fell, the dragon's mouth opened widely, and a ball of demonic flames erupted from its mouth, surging towards the bottom of the dragon, covering the sky and the sun!
"Kill! Kill it! I don't know who shouted, everyone's hearts were shocked, and all kinds of colorful spells and weapons with brilliant lights shot into the sky one after another.
However, the reality is cruel, if you want to slay the dragon, you must at least reach the legendary level, although the people present are very powerful, but there is not even a legendary powerhouse, the Royal Guard, the Wind Castle, the Dragon's Tooth Mountain, the Dwarf Tower, the Orc Forest and so on, it is not that there are no legendary powerhouses, but unfortunately they are all in high power, and they have to sit on a powerful side, unless something earth-shattering happens, they can not leave easily.
As the saying goes, there are many people, and at this moment, it seems vulnerable in front of the real dragon.
This battle is tragic, all NPCs are dead, all players are resurrected, there are varying degrees of loss, some equipment, props, skills, or downgrades, etc., a few poor guys are even directly beaten back to their original shape, starting from level 0 anew.
The most serious loss was Longya Mountain, except for a few powerful elders, the mainstay of the younger generation was almost dead. Because of this, the door of Longya Mountain was opened, and the conditions for accepting apprentices were reduced to a certain outrageous bottom line, and a large number of players flocked to Longya Mountain, and the Dragon Vein Warlock became a profession on the bad street, and after a short period of coldness, Longya Mountain ushered in extraordinary liveliness.
Only two people were able to get out of this battle, Lin Yang and Fanny.
……
The next day, the news of the bone dragon's resurrection spread like a gust of wind throughout the entire Lawson plane.
The Red Moon Empire was furious, and the surrounding empires, kingdoms, and principalities were also furious.
Some rumors about the origin of the bone dragon have also been excavated and gradually become people's after-dinner conversations, mainly focusing on these versions:
first
This dragon was the heinous demon dragon Sentimat, as early as more than a thousand years ago, he was burned alive by a legendary archmage with a legendary spell in the Revenant Mountains, which at that time were still called the Pine Forest Mountains.
second
This dragon came from an extraterrestrial plane and had been sleeping in the Revenant Mountains before, so the world was unaware and unlikely to pay attention.
third
This dragon was buried in the Revenant Mountains in ancient times, and due to the nourishment of the breath of death that does not dissipate throughout the year in the Revenant Soul Mountains, the dragon soul was finally condensed and resurrected again.
A few days later, the surrounding empires sent their strongest forces to gather in Jordan Town, and a storm slowly brewed and was about to start again.
The comeback of a dragon is explosive news for the entire Lawson plane, for a thousand years, there has been no trace of a dragon in the Lawson plane, no matter what, the dragon must be slain at the first time, one is to protect the people, and the other reason, anything on the dragon is a treasure, the preferred material for making legendary weapons.
And another thing about the Revenant Mountains, the pursuit of the wanted criminal Christina, has naturally been put aside by everyone. Chrisna also seemed to have evaporated from the world, and some do-gooders boldly speculated that this bold woman had either died in the Revenant Soul Mountains, or left the Revenant Mountains to go into exile in a foreign land, or even went to another plane.
