Chapter 139: The Undead Caravan
"Step, step, step", the sound of heavy footsteps, echoed in the world of the dead in the eternal night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The third lady of the moonlight is about to retire from the night, the cold light in the night sky gradually becomes dim, in the sky, several skeleton vultures chase the distant moonlight, and disappear into the mountains that are faintly visible in the sky, these former birds of prey, after the undead, although because of the influence of the will of death, no longer wantonly attack the living, but they retain the instinct when they were alive, like to dive from the air, pounce on the undead who are active on the ground. This habit is a headache for the undead, but the number of skeleton vultures that can be revived is so small that many of them have not seen a single one for decades.
The departure of the skeleton vulture made the plain even more silent, and a faint mist, before nightfall, began to disperse in all directions, enveloping the entire plain. In the mist, the sound of heavy footsteps became louder and louder, and suddenly, a giant beast five or six meters tall suddenly broke through the mist and appeared on the plain. However, the heavy footsteps did not disappear because of the appearance of the giant beast, behind the giant beast, the same kind continued to emerge from the fog, and soon, the five giant beasts stood proudly on the plain, curiously looking at the surrounding environment, as if they were seeing the world from this angle for the first time.
Although these white-boned giants are tall, they are not hideous, with short and thick four legs, thick bodies, broad and flat backs, oval heads growing on the cervical vertebrae several meters long, flexible cervical vertebrae allow the head to rotate at 360 degrees without dead ends, and the slender tail vertebrae habitually flick around in the air, making a whining wind-breaking sound. As can be seen from their large, heavy size and flat teeth, these behemoths were by no means carnivorous beasts when they were alive, and all the characteristics of their bodies seemed to be to grow in order to better obtain plants for food.
If the creatures of the Yala world saw these giant beasts, they would definitely feel very strange, because they had never appeared in front of the world, but if the scholars who studied the branch of paleontology saw them, they would probably faint with excitement, because they knew that these creatures were an ancient giant beast that had been extinct as early as the First Age, and now they can only remember their appearance from a few bones that have been excavated occasionally. I'm afraid that only this world of the dead, which has accumulated countless bones from ancient times to millions of years in the Third Age, can find such a complete body skeleton, and ...... It's still going to move.
Of course, the behemoths are not wandering on their own, behind each behemoth, there are two or three undead, and in addition to that, there is a large amount of cargo, and it is clear that the undead have used the corpses of these behemoths to form a convoy, which on the surface is almost indistinguishable from the caravans in the Overworld. It is worth noting that there is not much cargo on the back of the third giant beast, because behind the third giant beast, in addition to the two undead masters, eight visitors from the Overworld also sit on it, jolting up and down with the roaring footsteps of the giant beast.
"Knock, knock", the sound of heavy footsteps became slower and slower, and finally the five white-boned giant beasts stopped in the field, slowly bent their short and thick limbs in a circle, and knelt on the ground, and the passengers on the giant beast quickly jumped down and took some strange tools from the back of the giant beast and got busy. Rather than unloading the cargo, the undead erected a brace on the back of each behemoth so that they could receive a load-bearing pillar underneath the cargo, so that even if the behemoth disappeared, it would not fall to the ground. After doing all this, the undead at the leader of the convoy shouted, and I don't know what the Mito of each giant beast did, I only saw the bodies of the five giant beasts tremble at the same time, and the bones that make up the body spread out at the same time, and all kinds of white bones fell from the sky like rain, spilling on the ground, and a mountain of white bones was piled up on the ground in an instant. Something seemed to be wriggling under the mountain of bones, causing the top bones to roll down the ramp, and after a while, with a few rattling sounds, the bone pile was pushed open from below, and the skull of a skeleton horse came out of the bone pile, and the beating soul fire looked dazed, as if it couldn't figure out why he suddenly changed back to his original form.
"Ha, that's a handy skill of yours. Beside the leader of the convoy, Pannis praised: "It really shocked us to see you turn five skeleton horses into five giant beasts, and if we creatures could have this skill, then the transportation industry would be subversive." ”
"But it's a pity that this is the racial talent of our undead, and you will never learn it, I'm sorry. The leader's voice was hoarse and deep, as unpleasant as the sound of metal rubbing. The leader was not a skeleton or a ghost, but a dried corpse with skin and bones, completely dried. Unlike the three half-dead of the Divine Servant, this dried corpse is a pure dead, and in the Overworld, such an undead is called a corpse witch, which belongs to a kind of innate high-level undead, and the lowest strength is also the golden rank. The corpse witch is a very rare undead, even in the world of the dead, the corpse witch is rare, it has been almost three days since he left the village of the village chief of Nars, and he has passed through many villages and towns along the way, and there is only one corpse witch that everyone has seen.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Kenser, we're content to see such a miracle with our own eyes. Catherine smiled gratefully and said, "Speaking of which, we should also thank you, if it weren't for your consent to us reaching your beast ride, we would have walked less than half of the distance now, how could we be as fast as we are now." ”
Just like the knight girl said, since the village chief of Nales said that the king of the dead had something urgent to find everyone, so the next morning, everyone hurried on the road. However, after walking for a long time, he encountered this caravan transporting goods, and the leader of the caravan, Kense, the corpse witch, was very strong, and he could already sense the special features of Pannis, and distinguish that he was the guest of the Grim Reaper, so without even thinking about it, he agreed to the request of several people for a ride, and rode the giant beast all the way to the direction of the capital.
"We're going to have to get you here. Kense, the corpse witch, said regretfully, "We are now going to turn due north, and you need to go east, and see a few mountains over there, and you can see the capital when you climb over those mountains." I'm sorry I can't make it all the way to the capital with my cargo, so I hope you have all the best for the rest of your journey. ”
"Mr. Kenser, you must not say that. Catherine shook her head and said, "We have been causing you trouble for the past two days, we are already very embarrassed, here are some small toys we have brought from the world of the living, leave them for you as a souvenir, I hope you can enjoy it." ”
