Outside the main material world.

In a large half-plane, the furious four-elemental energy roared outside the plane, rippling with monstrous ripples.

The starry sky seemed to be shattered, and many distorted reflections could be seen.

There was no sun, no moon, only a crystalline glow emanating from the entire plane itself.

Layers of gray-white bones were scattered on the ground, I don't know how thick, and some small white flowers climbed out of the hollow skull eye sockets and bloomed into beautiful flower bones.

Numerous plant rhizomes clinged to the bones, seemingly absorbing the nutrients from the corpses and surviving.

A gust of wind blew, rippling many white petals, as if it had rained flowers, and the layers of plants parted, revealing all the bones on the ground—the entire plane was actually made of all kinds of bones.

Some of these bones were the size of ordinary humans, while others were unusually short and large, as if they were from halflings and dwarves, and even some other beast bones, which were so large that they formed small mountains.

This is the Skeleton Plane, a small half-plane on the verge of shattering, hidden in the cracks of countless dimensions, and it seems that it has been a long time since a guest cared for it.

Click!

And at this moment, a slight crackling sound came from the ground, followed by a trembling.

A hill of bones collapsed, sending up a cloud of smoke and dust, and at the same time, a bulging head rolled out of the cracks in the ground.

It was a crystal clear human skull, with two dead flames flickering in its eye sockets, and a dark black aura of death lingering. Exude powerful fluctuations.

"Boom!

The skull also seems to be a little blurred, with teeth biting into each other. The sound of bone cracking is made.

"It's been sleeping for more than a thousand years......"

The skull's head emitted a desolate tone, with a strong ancient flavor. Scholars who don't specialize in history will be largely confused.

"Crunch, crunch!" the skull snapped together, seemingly spitting out something like parchment from its mouth.

A layer of fluorescent flickering, projecting a large amount of text and images in midair.

"The year when the elemental tide is whistling, the moon when the dark crow crows, the moon of blood!...... North Cross East Bevel!"

The fire in the skull's eyes became even more vigorous, and it suddenly found a few bones that were also crystal clear and crystal-like nearby, and slowly built its body together.

"Floating City, the pinnacle achievement of the Arcane Age of Nether, a dimensional fortress that rivals the gods......"

The skull said in a chanting tone, and a large amount of black despair aura spread around it, forming a black cloak.

"The Floating City. It must be the !! of my !! bone lich, Illyrio Pugasru."

A staff of bones spontaneously came to the lich's hand, the blood-red orb at the top glowing bloody.

"Roar ......"

The lich struck the ground with his staff, and layers of the ground cracked, revealing the head of a massive creature.

Tens of meters long, huge bony wings, and deformed and hideous heads, dazzling soul fluctuations in the skull faintly - it is clear that this is the favorite pet of all necromancers, a two-headed skull dragon!!

"Boom...... Let's go, baby......"

The wind is howling. The two-headed dragon waved its wings and carried the skeletal lich on its back into the terrifying elemental storm.

The violent elemental storm also seemed to calm down under the other party's might at this time, giving way to a pitch-black passage.

The bone dragon roared and disappeared directly to the end of the plane......

And in a few other places. Someone else got the news.

"Strange movement in the realm of bones, looks like the lich has awakened too......"

"Illyrio, that guy...... It's been a long time since I've seen him, and I should settle my account with it last time......"

"Deathbringer, the Lich of Bones......?"

Many hidden thoughts. flickering around the world, and then all of them invariably set their eyes on the realm of bones.

A few of them seem to have a goal. Directly set off to the Western Desert.

......

The scorching sun shone directly into the sand dunes, steaming waves of twisting air.

The water seems to have evaporated completely. Every breath is like inhaling a big ball of flame.

The temperature on the surface of the desert is also close to the limit at this time, and it can even roast people to death!

At a glance, the entire golden desert is a forbidden area for life, and even the scattered cacti on the periphery have completely disappeared, and there is no longer a touch of green embellishment.

"We have gone deep into the desert, and from now on we need to conserve as much energy as possible, and we need to be careful about supplies and water...... What's wrong? Ellery, are you still thinking about the dream you had that night?"

The swordsman in charge of the team looked at the map in his hand, and his fingers kept gesturing the distance on it.

When he looked up, he found that the female mage in the team had fallen into a trance again, and couldn't help asking, with a hint of anger in his voice.

"No! it's much better...... It's just that the weather is really ......."

Ellery tugged at the hair behind her ears, feeling the chapped skin of her own, and sighed inwardly.

The dream hadn't bothered her since, but the harsh environment in the desert had taught Ellerie a very vivid lesson, and even with the protection of spells, the current female mage felt a little overwhelmed.

Seeing this scene, the swordsman had no other way than to secretly scold the mage for being a waste in terms of physical strength, and could only say encouragingly: "Hold on for a while, and we can reach the Dream Oasis, where we can have a good rest......"

As soon as she heard about the Oasis, not only the female mage, but also the other members of the team had a look of hope on their faces.

Now their location is already deep in the Western Desert, which is very dangerous, and there may even be a terrifying black sand storm at any time.

Even if they are all a small team of high-level adventurers who are close to the legendary level, there is no good way to deal with this force of nature, and it is still dangerous.

The Dream Oasis is the only source of water in the depths of the Western Desert, rumored to be a moving crescent lake and shrubland, and the only source of life and hope for those lost travelers.

"According to the latest information and maps I have obtained, the Dream Oasis is ahead, yes!"

The swordsman loudly encouraged morale.

After hearing the hope, the team moved a little faster.

It's just that this group of people didn't notice that behind them, there were already people who saw all their actions.

"Dream Oasis...... Once there, it's very close to Frostfall Canyon...... If it weren't for this group of guides, I wouldn't know when I would have found them......"

Leylin sat on top of a giant sand scorpion, with a winged eyeball fluttering in front of him, feeding back all the images of the people before him.

With that group of adventurers in front of him, the twists and turns of Leylin's trip were very small, and he basically needed to follow the safe route that the other party had already discovered.

Moreover, ordinary detection spells, due to distance limitations and other problems, cannot detect the existence of Lei Lin at all.

"Once here...... How so...... It seems that the use value of the other party has become smaller and smaller......"

Leylin touched his chin, in his opinion, this group of adventurers may be the weakest wave among the forces that covet the Floating City.

"However, there seems to be a boss on the other side, so let's put it in front first and see what it can attract......"

Lei Lin patted the scorpion that sat down, and the huge desert scorpion immediately squeaked, and its eight legs quickly alternated movements, advancing quickly in the desert.

There is no other scenery along the way except yellow sand.

No, except for the occasional sight of the bones of ascetics lying to the ground.

Leylin had seen a withered corpse that had lost all its water, like a mummy.

If they don't carry enough water in the desert, their only fate is to die on the side of the road, and there will always be very few people who can be rescued by a kind caravan.

"But...... It always feels like this journey is a little too peaceful......"

Without paying attention to the corpses that had been buried in most of the yellow sand, Lei Lin directly urged the sand scorpion to keep moving forward.

Of course, there are many dangers in the Western Desert, but the good ones in front are also an adventure group composed of elite high-level professionals, except for natural disasters such as black sandstorms, they can basically deal with them, and there has been no attrition even now.

Although it seemed normal, Lei Lin always felt that something was wrong.

After all, looking for a route to the Floating City, it shouldn't be so peaceful.

It wasn't until just now that a sudden smile appeared on Lei Lin's face: "Sure enough, it appeared...... I didn't expect that in the depths of the Western Desert, there are still aborigines, could it be the remnants of Nether Arcane?"

Thinking of this, he directly gave up his mount, and the whole person drove the flying technique, and flew into the air with his wings violently.

After crossing countless sand dunes, a deep green suddenly appeared in front of Leylin's eyes.

In the middle of the endless yellow desert, a crystal crescent-shaped lake suddenly emerged, and a large oasis was surrounded by it.

The appearance of this scene in such a forbidden place of life is really touching with the life force.

It's just that there are still some discordant scenes at this time.

For example, fierce fights and the like have begun near the oasis.

"No wonder I always feel that something is wrong, it turns out to be here!" a hint of surprise appeared on Lei Lin's face. (To be continued.) )
