Chapter 62: Beyond the Barrier
In the quiet valley, Liu Minghao and the skeleton man ran quickly one after the other, quickly approaching the peak where the invisible barrier was located. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After dozens of minutes of running, Liu Minghao's physical strength has been consumed by half, and his speed is constantly decreasing, but the skeleton man is tireless, and he has been following closely, and the distance between the two has been constantly shortened.
Rushing into a mountain col, at the end of which is a straight and steep cliff, in mid-air, you can see a transparent barrier faintly shimmering with black light, enveloping the entire cliff.
Not far from the entrance of the mountain pass, there is a stone platform that looks quite complete, Liu Minghao's spirit was shocked, and he immediately sped up his pace and ran forward, although the stone platform was damaged in many places, but the upper formation was still intact, but the groove below was empty, and there was not a single spar preserved.
At this time, the skeleton man also chased up, along the way, the two sides had fought several times, the skeleton man's strength was great, and the body was extremely hard, the black film attached to the skeleton was like a layer of metal armor, whether it was Adesbay's long knife or Liu Minghao's dagger, it could not destroy its defenses and cause substantial damage, Liu Minghao could only rely on his own flexibility and speed, and he could barely get rid of the opponent's attack.
Seeing the skeleton man waving a long stick and rushing straight towards him, Liu Minghao was afraid that its attack would destroy the altar, which was still intact, so he immediately turned around, turned around, and rushed towards the cliff.
The col was flat and unsheltered, and the only way to keep the skeletons in check and buy them time to activate the altar was to find another way.
The roar of the skeleton man behind him was getting closer and closer, and Liu Minghao could even hear the dull sound of its soles hitting the ground.
Raising his head, his eyes quickly skimmed over the towering rock walls around him, looking for a place to climb, Liu Minghao quickly selected a target, rushed to the front quickly, kicked his legs hard to the ground, and jumped up and climbed towards the top of the cliff.
Less than ten meters from the ground, there was a stone block that slightly protruded from the rock wall, forming a small platform that could be used to stand, Liu Minghao quickly climbed to the platform with his hands and feet, his legs apart to stabilize his body, his back was close to the cold rock wall, he freed his hands, took out a dagger and the fist-sized holy light stone, and began to cut quickly.
Although the skeleton man is a little intelligent and is obviously much more comfortable than those skeleton soldiers, it is not an easy task to climb up the rock wall quickly like Liu Minghao.
In the previous valley, Liu Minghao was keenly aware of the weakness of the skeleton man, and he had a plan in his heart, if he found an altar that could be used, he could take advantage of this weakness to create a time difference and leave enough preparation time for him to activate the altar.
The skeleton man naturally would not give up the prey that was close at hand, first brandished a long stick and frantically knocked on the rock wall, trying to destroy the obstacle in front of him, and soon seemed to sense that such an attack could not achieve its goal, so he threw away the long stick in his hand and began to climb the rock wall like Liu Minghao.
The two sides maintained an eerie calm for the time being, the skeleton man concentrated on approaching Liu Minghao, while Liu Minghao hurried up the time, his men did not stop, and soon cut out three good-sized Holy Light Stones.
There was silence in the valley, except for the slight sound of the skeleton man's body hitting the rock wall, and at that moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded, and the whole valley shook violently.
Liu Minghao had no support around him, and this sudden vibration made his body shake suddenly, and he couldn't stand at all, so he hurriedly buckled a protrusion on the rock wall, bent down slightly, and stabilized his body, so that he didn't fall headlong.
The skeleton-man was thrown down, its body slamming into the ground with a loud thud.
The roar stopped, the vibration soon stopped, the calm in the col was restored, Liu Minghao wiped the blood drawn by the dagger in his hand, raised his eyes and looked around, and did not find anything unusual, there was still an inexplicable premonition faintly rising in his heart, he couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes inadvertently swept over the skeleton man below, and the sense of foreboding instantly increased several times.
At this time, the skeleton man actually fell to the ground, as if he was drunk, and his body trembled violently, looking very similar to the skeleton soldiers who were lying on the ground when it appeared.
Liu Minghao's heart moved, and he suddenly looked up at the mountain wall not far away, the invisible barrier flickered slightly, could it be that the vibration and roar just now came from the other side of the barrier, which meant that there was a high-level undead behind the cliff.
As soon as this thought appeared, it could no longer linger, Liu Minghao immediately put away the spar and dagger, climbed down the rock wall as fast as he could, ignoring the skeleton man who was wilting on the ground, and ran towards the altar quickly and desperately.
An inexplicable sense of urgency struck, an almost suffocating sense of oppression, which weighed heavily on his heart, although it was groundless, but Liu Minghao had always believed in his instincts, and the crisis was coming.
The more in this situation, the more calm Liu Minghao can be, after years of training, this has almost become his instinct, strode to the altar, he quickly took out the cut spar, and put it into the groove around the stone platform.
At this time, the valley had returned to a dead silence, and the skeleton man also staggered to his feet, and in his eyes, two dark blue flames jumped rapidly, and his head slowly turned, moving back and forth between the cliff and Liu Minghao, as if he was thinking.
Liu Minghao put the third Holy Light Stone into the groove, and the skeleton man still seemed to be unable to get rid of the summoning effect of the ghost face mark, and he picked up the black long stick that fell to the ground at some point, and rushed towards him.
The long stick was wrapped in a strong wind and fell whistling, in order to avoid damage to the altar, Liu Minghao raised his long knife to block the falling attack, and immediately turned over and jumped to the side to dodge.
The skeleton man seemed to have lost his previous calm, and frantically waved his arms to launch a series of attacks, the power was strong and the moves were so fast that Liu Minghao was almost a little difficult to parry, so he had to dodge while trying his best to prevent the skeleton man from destroying the altar.
Fortunately, although the skeleton man was not afraid of the attack of the Holy Light, he would not actively approach the Holy Light Stone that emitted a soft halo, and for a while, it did not cause irreparable damage to the altar.
Suddenly, a shrill roar exploded over the valley.
Hearing this roar containing Ken's terrifying energy, Liu Minghao's face immediately changed greatly, and the skeleton man immediately stopped attacking, his body trembled violently, and the ghost light in his eyes flickered wildly.
Another roar sounded in his ears, and above the sky, a huge fluctuation of ability suddenly erupted, and the invisible barrier flickered violently, Liu Minghao only felt that his soul trembled, his legs couldn't help trembling slightly, and his brain roared continuously, as if there were countless thunder echoes.
The next moment, the terrible roar resounded through the valley again, the ground shook violently, Liu Minghao and the skeleton man couldn't stand up, and the long knife stood on the ground in embarrassment, barely stabilizing his body, at this moment, the cliff at the end of the col suddenly made a sound and began to shatter, countless cracks spread out like a spider web, and with the sound of the sky falling apart, the towering cliff suddenly collapsed, and the smoke and dust and debris flew all over the sky, almost obscuring the sky.
The huge air wave exploded in an instant, and Liu Minghao was lifted up, like a fallen leaf in the wind, flying in mid-air involuntarily, and finally hit the mountain wall heavily and fell to the ground.
Liu Minghao only felt a huge shock in his internal organs, his eyes were black for a while, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, he couldn't care about the severe pain around his body, so he could only curl up his body and protect his head and neck, almost in the blink of an eye, he was buried by countless rubble that flew down like raindrops.
In the smoke and dust in the sky, through the invisible barrier that flickered slightly, an extremely tragic battlefield appeared in front of Liu Minghao's eyes.
Behind the cliff was not a continuous hill, but an extremely vast plain, on which it seemed that a fierce battle had just taken place, and there were large rocks scattered everywhere, and it was clear that the collapse of the cliff had also spread to the other side of the barrier.
Nearly a hundred meters away from the barrier, two high-level undead were engaged in a final battle.
One of them looks like a black bear, with a spiral horn on the top of its head, it is huge, nearly ten meters high, and its body is covered with a layer of spikes, and the cold light flickers, and the spikes on its body are broken a lot at this time, and its bare black and brown skin is exposed, and the person stands up, waving his huge palms, and attacks.
On the opposite side of the black bear, there was a high-level undead similar to a skeleton man, with a black body full of gas, a torn armor on his body, his right arm had been broken at the shoulder, revealing a black bone, and the other hand was holding a broken pitch-black spear, dodging the black bear's crazy attack in great embarrassment.
Liu Minghao regained consciousness and crawled out of the rubble with great difficulty, dizzy, and as soon as his vision was condensed, he saw this shocking scene.
On the sharp horns above the black bear's head, the light flickered, and there was a faint black energy gathering and rotating, and when the undead warrior dodged the attack again, the black bear suddenly raised its head and let out a roar, and then bent its body and landed on all fours, and the sharp horns were aimed at the skeleton warrior, and it suddenly exerted force, rushing towards it.
The undead warrior hurriedly dodged, but it was already the end of the crossbow, and in a panic, he was hindered by a scattered boulder under his feet, and his movements were a step slower, and he fell forward so that there was no way to avoid it, and the long horns surrounded by black rays pierced his body.
The black bear let out an excited roar, raised its head, like a bullfight, picked up its prey, threw it high into the air, and constantly attacked the falling undead warrior with the sharp horns above its head, and finally let out a long roar, stood up again, swung out its right palm, and smashed the prey to the ground.
With a bang, a huge depression with a diameter of nearly five meters instantly appeared on the ground, and the undead warrior was completely silent, lying motionless at the bottom of the pit.
