April on the grassland is the best season in spring, the green grass is lush and swaying with the wind, the colorful wildflowers make the grassland full of a faint fragrance, the wild bees and butterflies dance lightly among the flowers, and the small beasts chase each other among the grass. In the sky, the soaring goshawks let out a burst of chirps, and in the distant field, the head horses of the wild horses raised their heads and neighed. The dark Night Shadow Leopard lurks motionless in the grass, but its two ears twist around to show its alertness, and the majestic boulder-like prairie bear finally survives the cold winter, looking silly in the spring sun against the honeycomb of wild bees against a dwarf tree.

Spring on the prairie is always full of moving vitality, and even the lazy people, standing on this land made of vitality, can't help but indulge in galloping. But even so, once you turn your eyes to the meadow occupied by the undead, it is obvious that all life is gradually disappearing.

Perhaps it is not accurate to describe this phenomenon as the loss of vitality, the plants on the ground are still growing vigorously and have not been disturbed in any way, but the animals on the ground and underground have long been far away from the interference of death energy, and they are unwilling to step into this place for half a step. In fact, death energy does not have much impact on life, but too strong death energy will make the creature feel physically unwell, and there will also be mental trance, and in the most serious cases, hallucinations, the weaker the living body, the more common this phenomenon is. Because of this, when the silver wolf's hunting ground was gradually polluted by death energy, the beasts were the first to flee, followed by the weak monsters, and even if the silver wolves finally won the war with the undead, I am afraid that there was only one way to go.

Five silver wolves carried five people, running unhurriedly through the mountains. The wolf is a very special beast, not as fast as a leopard, not as strong as a lion, it seems that there is nothing noteworthy, but their endurance is the strongest among the beasts of the grassland, they can not sleep, maintain the same speed to chase their prey for hundreds of kilometers. No matter how powerful the beast is, it can only be slowly dragged down under the pursuit of the wolves.

Now these five silver wolves are using this speed to embellished the backs of the two skeleton knights, unhurried. Not far away, not close, impossible to escape, impossible to get rid of. After trailing for about two kilometers, Pannis suddenly raised his hand and stopped the group.

"What's wrong?" Catherine rode up on the wolf, "Hmm. I understand. ”

"Well, it's this position, the sudden appearance of death energy. Pannis rubbed his arms: "Without a single sign, it suddenly became so thick, and the further you went, the thicker it became. This situation is quirky and has never been encountered. ”

Just now, when Catherine was approaching Pannis, she didn't understand why Pannis stopped in the first step, but when she took the next step, she felt the oppression of death energy, so she immediately understood the reason why Pannis stopped. At this time, Catherine took a few more steps back and forth, frowned, and said, "It's strange. It's like there's a distinct divider, not quite like a natural formation. ”

"Could it be artificial?" Lina also rode up on a wolf and asked curiously, "It seems to have a film." ”

"I don't think this can be done by the forces of nature alone. Pannis looked at Lina and asked a little strangely, "Why hasn't Diana come out again for so long?"

"Because the opponent is an undead. Lina pressed her chest, as if to press the world in her heart: "To deal with the undead, I am far more suitable as a priest than Diana." Diana herself knew this very well, so the five giant wolves had just explained for a while and then returned to her own world, so that I could call her when I needed it. ”

"Well, it seems that this is the interface with the normal environment of the outside world. Pannis took two steps back, his fingers poking around the edge of the world of death: "I guess it won't be so easy after entering." ”

"Yes. Catherine nodded, "Judging by the concentration of death energy here." It's not surprising what kind of undead are appearing. ”

"Are you ready?" said Pannis, standing in front of the boundary, in an awe-inspiring gesture with his hands outstretched, facing away from the crowd in front of the boundary, "My children." This is the line between life and death, and to step on this line is to abandon all hope of life, and to cross this line is to see oneself as a dead person, and so ......"

"Bang". Pannith was knocked off by a large wolf's head and screamed and fell into the grass within the boundary. Vivian lay on the back of the silver wolf and walked into the line casually: "I'm sorry, don't get in the way, let go." ”

"Hey, you should have said that in advance. Pannis, lying in the grass with a few weeds on his head, shouted dissatisfiedly, "How can you make trouble when you knock people into the air first?"

"Inspired?" Vivien turned back from the wolf's back and smiled sweetly at Pannis, "In 1479, Emperor Jacaine led his own army of 150,000 troops on an expedition to the country of mages. But as far as I know, there were seventy-one people who came back at the end of that time, and the rest were all killed in battle, and none of them survived. Is this how you motivate people? I just said that history is weak, and that is compared to magic, don't think that I don't know about this history. ”

"Hey, so you know. Pannis muttered in a low voice, and quickly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, I mean, don't care about the result, just from the point of view of language, what I just said is still very ......."

"It's stupid. A wolf's paw stepped directly over Pennis, and Lina left an apt comment to catch up with Vivien.

"Hush. Pannis got up from the ground dissatisfied, took off the straw stick on his head, and was about to say something, when he suddenly jumped to the side in time, dodging the wolf's head that hit him from behind. Catherine was speechless and waved to Pannis, so she followed behind the two girls and said loudly, "Cheer up, everyone, the task has begun." ”

"Okay!" the two girls responded in unison: "Let's do it together." ”

"These women are so hateful. As soon as Pannis turned around, he saw Marcia riding on the back of a wolf, two eyes as calm as a lake looking at his face. Smiled happily, Pannis said movingly: "It's better for Marcia to be you, don't attack me with those women, I really like you more and more." ”

"I want to have lamb steak and swift vegetable soup for dinner. Marcia's eyes flashed with anticipation: "That's it." ”

"You guys, can you have a normal one?" Pannis's sad cry echoed across the prairie.

After crossing the line and making a few turns along the foot of the mountain, some abrupt caves began to appear on the ground, lying like traps on the grassland. These caves, which appear to have been dug from the inside out, are clearly the original habitat of the undead, the craters left behind when they were awakened by the energy of death and broke free from under the surface.

"Be careful. Catherine, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped the giant wolf below her and cautiously looked at the ground in front of her. There is an abnormal protrusion in the grass on the ground, and even through the grass, you can see the occasional vibration of the protrusion. Suddenly, an arm bone with dirt pomped out of the dirt and slammed into the ground after a few aimless swings in the air. With the help of the support of the ground, a miserable white skeleton came out of the ground, and in the two deep eye sockets on the skull, the soul fire flickered strangely, and the jaw was constantly clasped to make a clicking sound, even in the middle of the day, it would still make those who heard it feel a burst of heart palpitations.

"The newborn undead. Vivien stared at the skeleton and looked closely: "There are not many opportunities for such observations, and it is very valuable to study." ”

"What are you studying?" asked Lina curiously, "It's just a skeleton." ”

"The strength of the soul fire, the density of the bones, the strength and agility of the skeletons, the time it takes to be attacked by the energy of death. Vivien explained, "With this, we can extrapolate and verify the extent of the effect of death energy on the corpse, but unfortunately there is not enough time right now. ”

"yes, there's not enough time. Catherine gestured to the silver wolf, and the silver wolf jumped up, slapped the skeleton's skull with one claw, followed by a huge mouth, and the hard teeth directly crushed the skull, and the soul fire that had lost its protection flashed and dissipated again in the air.

"Marcia. Catherine exclaimed, "You have been here once, lead the way." ”

"Okay, follow me. Marcia rode the wolf and began to rush forward: "According to my previous experience, in ten minutes at most, you will start to encounter small groups of skeletons. ”

"Give me a handful of skeletons. Catherine said: "Don't be entangled, a small number of undead don't have to be wiped out, just disperse them so that they can't pose a threat for the time being, as long as they keep a distance, they won't chase us, and when the root cause is solved, we will turn back and deal with them." In addition, Lina and Vivien, you two try to save their magic and mental power, and if you encounter a big scene, it will depend on you when the time comes. ”

"Understood. The girls echoed in unison, and Lina raised the silver mace, letting the light of power envelop the surface of the mace. And Vivien was lying on the back of the silver wolf again, this kind of low-speed movement was still bearable for her, and she would not lose her combat effectiveness as she did at the beginning.

"Then I'll support you remotely. "At some point, Pannis had come from the tribe to get a riding bow, and he didn't know how many arrows were in his backpack, and he was twisting three arrows on the bowstring.

"Well, you are free to attack. Catherine knew that she didn't need to think about Pannis's combat awareness and experience, and that no matter what tactics he had, Catherine believed that he would make the best attack at the best time, so it was entirely up to Pannis to decide.

A gentle breeze blew, and a grinding sound between bones drifted with the wind, followed by more than fifty skeletons clustering around a skeleton knight riding on a goat. (To be continued.) )
