On a cold night, the moon, known as the source of magic in the night sky, was half-hiding behind dark clouds, revealing its bright half, and the hazy moonlight fell through the mist above the thorny forest, plating the entire forest with an ominous pale.

The Spike Forest is a deep, dense forest of coniferous pines, located at the entrance to the Shadow Mountains, next to the cold rocky rivers in the mountains, and is the only way for adventurers to enter and exit the mountains.

In the Hymn to Heroes and the Ancient Psalms of Trouville, the Shadow Mountains were the domain of the chosen people of the gods thousands of years ago, with their magnificent fortresses and mighty armies capable of fighting well, from which the long-lost magic is said to have been passed down.

But ever since the Chosen Gods disappeared on Elend's Big 6, the vast ruins left behind in the Shadow Mountains have become a haven for adventurers to cheer about, and countless adventurers have flocked to the mountains.

It's just that the dark land on the other side of the Shadow Mountains is the territory of the Ash Elves, and those Ash Elves with dark skin and dazzling silver heads have a natural hatred for humans, and everyone who accidentally enters will be stripped of their skin and hung on a tree as a warning.

Moreover, there are countless deadly dangers lurking in the depths of the mountain range, and there are many terrifying and terrifying monsters living here, and the corpses of adventurers who have thrown their lives here are almost enough to fill the cold stone river inside.

If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that for thousands of years, the entire Shadow Mountain Range would have been turned upside down by adventurers.

To this day, a large number of adventurers still come to the Shadowlands every year to explore the unseen remnants of the elect.

The mercenaries lit a bonfire on the beach next to the cold rocky river, and a group of people gathered around the bonfire, drinking inferior ale wine, telling jokes about meat and vegetables, and the occasional laughter spread far along the rushing river.

Zhang Yi sat on a large rock far away from the campfire, struggling to nibble on the black bread sent to him by the mercenaries, he never imagined that this kind of food, which could be seen everywhere in the game in the past, would be so unpalatable that it was dry and astringent, and biting into his mouth was like biting a lump of sawdust.

Zhang Yi wanted to vomit several times, but his empty stomach prevented him from doing so, and finally swallowed the whole piece of black bread with perseverance and a few mouthfuls of cool river water.

Feeling the warm feeling of fullness coming from his stomach, Zhang Yi fell on the big stone, stared up at the starry night sky, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Mr. Elwin?"

There was a timid voice next to him, Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was shouting to himself, and quickly turned his head to see that there was a girl standing next to him, it was the priest girl who was scared away by him not long ago.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yi sat up and asked, he thought it was Captain Dennis who had something to find him.

"No, nothing." Delaney hurriedly waved his hand, then also found a place to sit down, and whispered: "Mr. Erwin, I'm sorry for today's incident, I made too much of a fuss. ”

The priest girl was referring to her screaming in fright because Zhang Yi suddenly woke up, which finally attracted the mercenary's misunderstanding of him.

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's not your fault, there's no need to apologize." ”

Delaney quietly glanced at Zhang Yi, and seeing that he looked very good, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Erwin, I'm actually curious. ”

"You're good at riding?"

The girl's bold words made Zhang Yi a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at the girl sitting on the side, she looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, in Zhang Yi's world, I was afraid that she was still in school, and her figure was hidden in a wide gray and white cloth robe, and she couldn't see what it was, but she often lived such a life, and it must not be much better.

"It's curious, not easy to ride." didn't see Zhang Yi's dirty thoughts, the priest girl thought that Zhang Yi was wrong, and helped him correct it very seriously.

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, he originally wanted to use a meat joke to dispel the bitterness in his heart, but he didn't expect the girl to be so pure, and now he can't help but want to slap himself.

"What are you curious about?" After straightening out his mentality, Zhang Yi asked.

"Oh, I've always wondered how Mr. Erwin survived in the sarcophagus, where there was no air and no food!"

"I don't know." Zhang Yi was also full of doubts about this, originally he wanted to go back to take a look, but the sky had already darkened, and this idea could only be temporarily dispelled - the jungle in the dark night was too dangerous, even if it was on the periphery, he couldn't walk in it alone at will.

"And what about Mr. Erwin's family and friends?" Delaney asked cautiously.

This question was like a knife, sticking hard into Zhang Yi's heart, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, almost unable to breathe.

"Probably...... It's all gone. ”

After a long time, Zhang Yicai replied softly, looking at the jungle shrouded in darkness, and small fireflies were spinning and flying among the grass and trees with the sound of insects.

"Yes, I'm sorry......" The priest girl finally realized that her question was inappropriate, and she became a little flustered, and quickly apologized in a whisper.

"It's okay......" Zhang Yi smiled at her, his heart had slowly calmed down, since this qiē had been born and he was powerless to change, then he could only try to adapt, wouldn't he?

After being silent for a while, Delaney spoke again, she quietly looked at Zhang Yi's side face, and asked, "Then Mr. Erwin, do you have any plans for the future?" ”

"...... in the future" Zhang Yi frowned, he had been thinking about this question just now, but he couldn't get an answer, did he want to continue to treat this world as a game? That would be exciting, but also definitely dangerous.

And if Zhang Yi was allowed to live like an ordinary person, just thinking about the unpalatable black bread just now, and the sweat and hard work he needed to earn this extremely unpalatable thing, he couldn't help but shudder.

Perhaps he might go to Wadi Ferran and take a look at Dragonclaw Bay, where he had died in battle.

Maybe there's something to gain.

"If you don't have a place to go, do you want to join us...... Draenei hesitated, she wished that this Mr. Erwin would join the Greydove mercenary group, but even if she was as pure as she could tell, the Greydove was about to run out of water.

“…… I'll think about it. Zhang Yi replied hesitantly, this is obviously a choice, but it is not good enough to make him tempted.

Although Zhang Yi was just perfunctory, the priest girl was very happy, and the two chatted for a while before the girl got up and went back.

Zhang Yi looked up at the night sky, a sleepiness made his eyelids feel a little heavy, so he got up from the big rock, intending to go back to the tent to rest.

However, at this moment, Zhang Yi felt as if something was watching him in the grass not far away, and his pinprick gaze made his skin appear with countless goosebumps in an instant.

He jerked his head back, his vision as if to catch a flash of scarlet light in the darkness.

"Delusion?"

He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked over again, there was nothing.

Maybe it's some beast, Zhang Yi comforted himself, this is very common in the jungle, and the eyes of beasts are often mistaken for ghosts and ghosts.

He shook his head and turned to walk towards the tent.

In the gloomy forest, a pair of scarlet eyes did not blink, staring closely at Zhang Yi's back as he walked farther and farther.

The clock was fast approaching the middle of the night.

Outside, most of the bonfire had been extinguished, and only one mercenary on vigil was dozing off beside it.

A cold wind suddenly blew, making him shiver subconsciously, and he was awakened by the start, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

Suddenly, the mercenary's movements stopped, and he sensed that there seemed to be someone behind him, something staring at him, and the cold gaze pierced his back slightly.

The mercenary jerked back, he thought it was a beast, or some guy who couldn't sleep and got up to play a prank, could it be Fick, the bastard?

This wrong thought prevented the mercenary from giving him the first warning, and the moment he turned around, he only saw a cold light tilting from top to bottom, throwing a fan-shaped trajectory in the moonlight, slashing past his neck.

The mercenary clutched his neck as the warm blood gushed out and the sound of a broken blower fell backwards to the ground, as he clutched his neck and tried to scream, but with his throat already severed, he could only make a slight sound like a broken blower, and then fell backwards to the ground.

Life is gone.

By this time, the mercenaries had already fallen asleep, and Susan and Draenei were sleeping in a tent, and Draenei was holding Susan's neck tightly and strangling her like a koala.

Zhang Yi occupies a tent by himself, and he was ready to squeeze with others, after all, there are only seven or eight tents for more than 20 people, and each tent needs to sleep at least three people.

It's a pity that no one wants to sleep in the same tent with him, and the mercenaries are still a little afraid of this young man who came back from the sarcophagus, and would rather huddle with his companions than spend the night in the same tent with him, so Zhang Yi can only reluctantly enjoy the same treatment as the regiment leader Dennis.

The ground was hard muddy, and there was no blanket, Zhang Yi could only sleep with clothes, although he was deeply sleepy, he couldn't sleep after lying down for a while, his back was pressed by small stones, and it was very uncomfortable to turn over and over.

There was a slight sound of poofing, like the sound of something falling to the ground, which woke up Zhang Yi, who was finally about to fall asleep.

At this time, he did not perceive any danger, but he sat up from the ground irritably, exhaled deeply, and his eyes fell on the tent at random, and suddenly stopped.

Under the light of the fire, a figure was reflected on the tent, and what made Zhang Yi's breathing almost stop was that this figure had a round head, the neck under the head that connected the body was thin and long, like a thick wooden stick, and under the knife-like shoulders, there were two rows of hollowed-out ribs.

Skeleton?

As soon as this thought rose from Zhang Yi's mind, a terrible scream immediately sounded outside the tent, breaking the silence of the forest night.
