"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Almost impossible, Catherine's shield-holding arm twisted, and with the impact of the silver wolf's run, she easily blocked the blow without warning.

Although everyone didn't mention the two undead who would retreat outside the mountain before, everyone was a little more vigilant in their hearts, no matter what they were doing, they would leave some strength to prepare for an attack that might come at any time. Sure enough, at the end of a battle, when people should be at their most relaxed, the undead launched a long-planned attack. The Bone Knight's sneak attack is simple, digging a shallow pit in the ground, buying himself and his mount, and covering it with floating dirt. It would have been impossible for this lowliest concealment to be hidden from the eyes of any one present in any other place, but in such a place full of pits of dirt drilled by the undead, it was difficult for this concealed trap to attract people's attention, creating the best conditions for his sneak attack.

It's a pity that Catherine has always been mentally prepared, as soon as the Bone Knight jumped out and swung his sword, Catherine's shield was already in place, and the undead were not given any chance. The sword and shield intersected, Catherine's body shook on the wolf's back, and she used the swing to dissolve the power on the knife, and then ignored the skeleton knight, and ran into the distance without looking back. The Bone Knight's blade paused, although it was brief, but it did pause for about half a second, and then, as every undead should do, mechanically shifted the target, and the slashing knife was swung again, slashing at Lina who was rushing after Catherine.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust. Lina's right hand blurred out several mysterious symbols in the air, and her mouth gently chanted: "With the gaze of Denya, the god of love, let the lost soul return to sleep." ”

Under the shimmer of light, the attacking Bone Knight swung his sword more and more slowly, and soon the slashing sword made a pop and fell from the Bone Knight's hand. Not only did the slashing sword fall, but the soul fire in the knight's eyes also quickly weakened, and finally it was completely extinguished, and even the people and mounts were reduced to a pile of white bones. There is no more vitality.

"It's confirmed, it's indeed a conscious undead. Catherine turned back as she ran, her heroic eyebrows furrowed, and she said with a solemn face, "Although it became as mechanical and rigid as an ordinary undead at the end. But I did surprise him by blocking its attack in time, so I paused for half a second. This reaction is exactly like that of an intelligent creature who has failed a sneak attack but has no experience in dealing with it, and it can't be wrong. ”

"No, it's not self-conscious. Pannis's face was also ugly, and the memories of the undead flashed through his heart. The pain and remorse that was once buried in the heart is being reawakened, the pain and remorse that you thought you could escape by living happily. He shook his head vigorously to return his thoughts to normal, and corrected, "As mentioned before coming in, they are controlled by the superiors. Eventually, it regained its mindlessness, that is, the undead who controlled it had given up its control over him, so it reverted to being a normal undead. ”

"Have you ever been in this situation?" Lina sensitively picked up what was lurking in Pannis's words, and asked, "By the way, I remember you once said that few people know the undead better than you. ”

"Something like that. Pannis did not deny it against his will. Nodding, "But that's another story." ”

No one spoke anymore, everyone was silently thinking about their own business. Catherine used herself as a striker, and broke through several more obstacles formed by the undead's body, and the continuous impact made the silver wolf under her slightly gasp. As a knight who is one with the mount, Catherine is keenly aware of this situation, and can't help but say with some concern: "These silver wolves are not special mounts after all, and they are already a little tired. There has to be a little bit of speed, or I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it up. ”

"No, speed up. Marcia looked up and objected, "Do you see the second mountain in front of you?" It's our destination. If we speed up, we can reach the bottom of the mountain in ten minutes at most. Once there, the terrain becomes so complicated that you can't ride a mount anymore. When the time comes, there will be time for the silver wolves to slow down and rest. ”

"Ten minutes?" Catherine looked up at the mountain peak not far away, gritted her teeth, and stroked the neck of the silver wolf under her as if she was comforting, nodded vigorously and said, "Then let's go, rush over at high speed." ”

I have to admit that the communication skills of knights and mounts are a very strange thing. Although the wisdom of the silver wolf is very high among the wolf pack, it is not an intelligent creature after all, and in fact, it cannot understand the lingua franca at all, or any language of intelligent beings. But with a few strokes from Catherine, the leading silver wolf fully understood Catherine's intentions, raised his head to the sky and howled, jumped high on all fours, crossed the barrier composed of dozens of scattered skeletons from the air, and rushed forward like a gust of wind. The other four silver wolves also increased their speed under its auspices, showing speed and will that all creatures on the grassland feared, as if no one could stop them from moving forward.

Ghost Cry Mountain, White Ridge Mountain, and Blood Mist Mountain, a long time ago, this was the common sacred place of the seven nearby tribes, and it was the burial place of their ancestors for generations. When a tribesman dies, the deceased's closest family members wash the deceased's body with clean water, and then wrap the deceased from head to toe with a straw mat woven from the soothing grass common on the grassland. After three days in the tent, the tribesmen would send the deceased into the mountain and choose different locations for burial according to their status. Born in the grassland, buried in the grassland, when he was born, he received the blessing of the grassland, asked for all the necessities of life from the grassland, and returned to the grassland after death, using his body as nourishment, moisturizing a grassland, this is the most perfect destination in the mind of every grassland creature, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand this unique emotion.

The three mountains are oddly shaped, each of them is elongated and narrow, and they come together to form a triangle, and in the center of the triangle is an inaccessible valley that was once an altar used by nearby tribes to worship their ancestors, but in recent decades, due to the nuisance of the undead, no one has entered it, and no one knows what has become of it. According to the leader of the commissioning tribe, the location of the first large number of undead to appear was around these three sacred mountains, so there is every reason to suspect that the source of the problem lies in these three peaks, or more directly, the source of the problem is in the sacred land of the tribe.

Unlike other nearby peaks, these three mountains are all very high, about 500 meters long, and perhaps it is precisely because of their height that the ancient orcs thought that they could overlook the entire grassland when buried at such a height, so they chose this place as a burial ground. The three peaks, the lower half of which is a grassy meadow and the upper half of which are bare rocky summits, make the terrain very steep and require a lot of effort to climb.

"How did the orcs carry the dead on their backs to bury them?" Standing below and looking up at the mountain, Lina, who was the most curious, was very puzzled: "I'm afraid that no one can go up such a steep mountain, right?"

"The body was buried in the grassland. Marcia had been in the steppe for many years and was familiar with these steppe tribes, and Tilina explained: "They buried the bodies on the gentle slope down the mountain, and no one climbed to the top of the mountain to bury the bodies, which were full of stones, and there were no people to bury them." ”

"I said. Lina nodded understandingly, "So, we're going to turn over here now?"

"Well, if you turn over it, you can see the orc altar. "I'm actually curious about what the altar that was worshipped by the orcs in the neighborhood looked like. ”

"Just go and have a look. Catherine jumped off the wolf's back. Because of the previous speed, the large group of skeletons and bone knights were left far behind, and several people had plenty of time to think about their next move. However, Catherine said with some apprehension: "I'm worried about these silver wolves now, we can climb over, they can't climb the mountain, how can we get there? ”

"I called Diana to say hello. Lina crouched down beside a silver wolf, scratched its chin and let it whimper in comfort, and then leaned into the silver wolf's ear and whispered a few words. The silver wolf nodded very humanely, stuck out his tongue and licked Lina's silver hair vigorously. Lina cried and laughed, clutching her wet hair, and fled back to Catherine and said, "No problem, with their physical condition, they can climb up completely." Don't worry, they're more nimble than we are. ”

"You were ...... just now," Catherine looked at Lina in surprise, "Did Diana come out?

"No, she's too lazy to come out. Lina shrugged absently: "So she borrowed my mouth to ask." ”

"Can you borrow some of it?" The three members of the party all made surprised expressions, looked at Lina blankly, and asked, "I've never heard you say that before." ”

"Well, of course I haven't. Lina was vigorously wiping her licked wet hair: "I only found out recently. No, to be precise, Catalina stumbled upon it some time ago, and we didn't know about it before. ”

"Well, doesn't that mean ......" Pannis seemed to fall into some strange reverie, and a lewd smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Lick him. Lina waved her hand, and the five silver wolves who were gasping and resting neatly knocked Pannis down, happily taking turns licking Pannis's face, making him let out a wail under the attack of his tongue.

"I have to agree to borrow any part. Lina snorted, knowing very well what Pannis was thinking obscenely, and added with a red face: "So those troublemakers guys, I don't agree with them borrowing them casually." ”

"Do I have to get your consent? That's fine. Catherine knew very well that Pannis's original intention to make such a lewd appearance was to confirm something, so she relieved herself and kicked the foot of Pannis, who was in close contact with the silver wolves: "Don't make trouble, get ready to climb the mountain." ”

"What about Vivien?" Marcia looked worriedly at Vivian, who seemed to be in a daze, "She may not be able to climb up." ”

"Don't worry, I'll carry her. Catherine waved her hand: "Rest for another minute and go." (To be continued.) )
