Volume 2: Lost in the Sea of Fog [021] Big Skeleton
Half an hour later......
Mark and Anubis stepped back to a corner with fewer skeletons, one out of breath and the other with a stomach.
"I can't eat it, and then I'm in trouble. ”
Anubis said solemnly, and couldn't help but burp after speaking.
His Soul Eater's Kiss wasn't without limits, but the weight of a single skeleton was too light, like a small snack, so he could devour it continuously.
The problem is that even if the skeleton is light, he eats too much for half an hour in a row, and even if it is French fries, it is enough to choke for half an hour in a row.
"What then?" asked Mark with a frown.
Currently, the only way to kill the skeleton is by Anubis eating the skeleton, and once Anubis can't eat it, it means that they have no other means to restrain the skeleton.
They kill a lot of skeletons, the problem is that there are many more.
Although the skeleton's movements are not fast, they are overwhelming and ubiquitous, like a sea of skeletons with no end in sight, completely surrounding them.
"Although I couldn't eat it, I also gained a new ability. Anubis spoke.
Mark swept an approaching skeleton out with a wave of his halberd and asked, "Really, what ability?"
"Summon skeletons. Anubis replied.
Mark's eyes lit up and he asked, "In other words, you can also summon skeletons?"
"You need the raw materials Skull Bone Meal and Ghost Fire, the Ghost Fire is in the skull, only I can take it out, and you will be responsible for making Skull Bone Powder. Anubis nodded.
In fact, only bone meal is a necessary material, and ghost fire can consume Anubis's spiritual power instead, but the mountains here are full of skeleton soldiers with ghost fire, and Anubis naturally will not waste his spiritual power to summon skeletons.
Mark nodded and asked, "Then is there a limit to the number of you can summon?"
"There is no limit to the number of materials, as long as there are enough materials, you can summon all the time. Anubis replied.
Mark took a deep breath and smiled, "Okay, let's get started." ”
He exerted force under his feet, and instantly rushed to the front of a skeleton soldier, the skeleton soldier's movements were not fast, he swept the halberd in the sky, and directly separated the skeleton soldier's head, and then the halberd tip was raised, and the skull flew towards Anubis, and he began to crush the skeleton soldier's body to make bone meal.
Later, one of them is responsible for crushing the skeleton soldier and breaking it into powder, and the other sucks out the dark blue ghost fire from the skeleton.
In about three minutes, the first skeleton belonging to Anubis was created.
With the first skeleton soldier, the next step is simple, the two tacitly cooperate, constantly making materials to summon skeleton soldiers, and gradually the skeleton soldiers on their side withstand the siege of wild skeleton soldiers, opening up a rest circle for them.
Mark lay on the ground without an image, tired and didn't want to move at all, and Anubis also leaned against a rock, racing against time to rest.
After ten minutes of rest, the two got up again and continued to create more skeletons.
The process is not complicated, but it is an extreme test of patience and perseverance, and it is also a great test of physical fitness. In particular, Mark needs to go deep into the enemy line, and even if he has a mana protector, he will occasionally be scratched by bone claws, and the scars on his body gradually increase.
Fortunately, Anubis summoned more and more skeletons, and Mark's pressure became less and less, and in the end, he was simply responsible for mending the knife behind the skeleton soldiers, without having to risk it at all.
An hour later, Mark and Anubis no longer had to do it themselves, and the dense skeleton soldiers continued to make the materials and then sent them to Anubis, who only needed to activate the ability again and again, fusing bone powder with ghost fire to summon new skeleton soldiers.
Although there is still a steady stream of wild skeletons, the skeletons on their side are renewable resources, and even if they are defeated by wild skeletons, they can collect materials and summon them again.
Under the rise and fall, there are more and more skeleton soldiers on Mark's side, and they are growing rapidly like a snowball.
"Mark, how much food do you bring?" Anubis asked, as he made the skeletons.
Mark lay on the ground in a large zigzag, his eyes slightly open, and replied: "Compressed biscuits are enough to eat for three days, and the nutrient solution is enough to drink for a year, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Anubis swallowed back when he got to his mouth.
He was worried that the wild skeleton soldiers would take a lot of time to kill, and he could eat or not, so he didn't need to worry about food.
But Mark is a human being, it's okay not to eat for a short time, once there is no food for a long time, he will definitely starve to death.
But Anubis was clearly worried.
In fact, Mark has been growing, from the beginning of the frequent careless flying to now the weakness is getting less and less, before he was inexplicably trapped in Arkham's mental space, he was aware of the problem of food and weapons, so under normal circumstances, weapons and food, he will carry with him, and he will never rely too much on the eternal space.
Next, Anubis created more and more skeleton soldiers, and gradually formed the Matthew effect, and the entire pit was basically occupied by the skeleton soldiers controlled by Anubis.
At this point, the only thing the two were worried about was how long the battle would last.
"Anubis, guess what the purpose of this space is?" asked Mark as he sat up.
Anubis replied as he thought about it while creating skeletons, "The captain said that this is an academy, and I don't know the teaching style of this academy, but I can speculate from the situation in this space.
First of all, the teaching style of the academy should be biased towards hard-line iron-bloodedness, and there may even be a student casualty index, as long as it does not exceed the casualty index, the death of a student will not cause a ripple.
The second is that this academy is very powerful, and these skeleton soldiers are not illusions or illusions, but real undead, I can't imagine it...... How these skeletons were made. ”
"You're saying that these skeleton soldiers are most likely dead students?" Mark asked, surprised at Anubis' guess.
Anubis nodded, "Didn't you notice that the bone age of these skeleton soldiers before death was not very old, all of them were between eighteen and thirty years old. ”
“......”
Mark was silent for a moment, he really didn't notice this, because he didn't look at bone age at all.
Eighteen to thirty, this age is indeed suspicious.
He looked at Anubis and asked, "Then we're going to be trapped here?"
"Do you think the captain is going to put us to death?" Anubis asked angrily, rolling his eyes helplessly.
Mark slapped his forehead and smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot that the captain let us in." ”
"I have two guesses to get out of here, one is to kill all the skeletons, and the other is to find the source of the skeleton and destroy it. Anubis said.
Mark said helplessly: "I'm afraid neither choice is easy. ”
Kill all the skeletons, the problem is that there is an endless stream of skeletons here, and it is not known how long it will be, and the second option is equally difficult, because this land is too vast.
Unless they are able to convert all the wild skeletons, the second option is basically impossible.
In the end, it turns out that you have to solve the first option first, kill all the skeletons.
Mark glanced at Anubis speechlessly, and lay directly on the ground without moving, just now the two discussed for a long time, who knew that it was all nonsense.
Whether they choose to choose it or not, as long as they are trapped in this space, killing skeletons is something they must do, because if they don't kill skeletons, these skeletons will kill them.
It's a life-or-death situation, so you don't need to choose at all.
Mark lay down for a while, then sat up again, took out a packet of green nutrient solution, looked at the skeleton soldiers in the distance, and drank the nutrient solution silently.
"Is it good?" Anubis was speechless.
Mark said lightly: "Generally, it tastes a bit like vegetable juice, tomato-flavored vegetable juice, and according to the introduction, a packet of nutrient solution can provide the energy needed for the day. ”
The nutrient solution is very small, about the size of the seasoning of instant noodles, if you drink it in a large gulp, you can drink it all in one sip, even if you take a small sip like Mark, it is only three sips at most.
Packing up the bag, Mark got up and said, "I'll try flying around and see if I can spot something in the air." ”
"Can you fly?" Anubis was surprised.
Mark pretended to smile and said, "Basic ability, don't six." ”
He unfolded the electromagnetic force field and flew directly into the sky crookedly, Anubis looked at it in surprise, he didn't expect him to really fly.
In fact, there are many people in Eternal Space who have exchanged power generation cells, but there are not many people who exchange electromagnetic force fields, mainly because even if this thing is exchanged for foolish operation, it is still very difficult to control.
Mark actually redeemed the electromagnetic force field very early, but he didn't use it once in battle, mainly because it was not well controlled.
He flew into the air and looked down on the ground, and found that the skeletons were not surrounded in a circle, but gradually in the shape of water droplets.
The shape of the water droplets, everyone can imagine, the top is sharp and the bottom is round.
Mark narrowed his eyes and flew directly to the tip of the line, which, if he guessed correctly, was the production base of the skeletons.
"Well, what's going on?"
Anubis was stunned when he noticed that Mark was moving.
Moving, it means discovering, because if there is no discovery, Mark does not need to move at all, and when you look down from above, it is not the same.
Mark's flight speed is not fast, mainly because he is not skilled in control, and as soon as the cold wind blows in the sky, he must slow down, otherwise he may lose control and fall down.
After more than ten minutes, Mark finally came to the exit of the skeleton soldiers, and he looked down from the top and was surprised to find that all the skeleton soldiers originated from a huge skull.
Most of the skull was buried in the dirt, but the exposed part alone was thirty meters high.
Countless skeletons crawled out of its mouth, nose, and eye sockets, and then they walked in the direction of the pit as if they knew where they were going.
