Chapter 563: Dark Elf Graveyard
Krent's Dark Elf archers led the way in front of the group as guides, and he looked visibly nervous, occasionally placing his hands on the quiver behind his back. He was afraid of being attacked by monsters, but Carl, who walked behind him, was more concerned about the delicate recurve bow he was carrying. The Dark Elves value bows and arrows, and they are their most trusted weapons in battle.
Just as when he first came here, Marcos always felt something strange in the damp, rotten air. Although because they received "special care" from Krent, they at least did not have to get involved with the duchy and the ranks of other adventurers. Acting alone is what they want, and being with other strangers only makes the fight harder.
"Hey, are you okay?" Karl couldn't help but ask, looking at the tense dark elf in front of him.
The dark elf was clearly overreacting, and he hurriedly turned his head and nodded desperately. "I ...... I'm fine ......."
"Really?" Karl didn't quite believe him.
"Yes, yes. He turned his head back, but he almost fell to the ground head-on, but fortunately Karl pulled him in time, otherwise his face would have been bruised and swollen. Carl didn't know how to get rid of his nervousness, he was never good at it.
Marcos, who was walking in the middle, shrugged helplessly, he was a little suspicious that the dark elf would go crazy the moment he met the monster. This timid guy shouldn't have come here, and while he didn't know if there were legends of ghosts among the dark elves, he didn't think these gloomy fellows would be afraid of ghosts.
The Dark Elves led the group the same route Marcos had taken last time, and they quickly arrived at the entrance to the Dark Elf Graveyard. Marcos paid special attention to whether the strange ghost he had met last time appeared, but it turned out that he did not see the strange ghost. The dark elf guard swallowed and stepped into the graveyard with his foot outstretched. The dragon's evil thoughts seemed to be even stronger than the last time Marcos had been here.
Evil thoughts are not invisible, they resemble ghostly fires floating in mid-air, and from time to time bursts of whispering sounds can be heard. It's definitely not a language, at least that's for sure. The whisper sounded meaningless to everyone, and perhaps only a creature with the same dragon as Spitz could understand what the whisper was trying to say. The Evil Mind Body is not threatening for the time being, Krent assured everyone before leaving. But if the power of the evil dragon has recovered for a while, it will be difficult to say, so everyone must hurry.
"Here...... Much has changed. The Dark Elf archer whispered.
"What do you mean?" Karl asked.
"It's full of ......," the Dark Elf Archer found indescribable, so he said ambiguously after a second thought. "Something unusual. ”
"Come on, that's something that everyone who comes here can see. Carl said helplessly.
Standing at the back, Anna first observed the environment of the cemetery, and then began to observe the reactions of the others, who seemed to be paying attention to their actions. Camilli was calm, while Fett looked uncomfortable—she stood a little close to Marcos, who was intently discussing his next move with Carl. The Dark Elf archer, on the other hand, looked around nervously, for fear that the monsters he feared would suddenly pop out of the darkness.
"Well, it's a bit difficult, we don't know the specific distribution of monsters, it seems that we can only take one step at a time. After some conversation, Marcos sighed and nodded helplessly, apparently not satisfied with the result. Karl, on the other hand, looked away and asked the Dark Elf archer. "How big is this cemetery?"
The Dark Elf archer didn't hear Karl's question, but reached for the recurve bow behind his back with a trembling hand. Almost everyone immediately noticed the archer's unusual reaction, and immediately after that, they sensed the threat. The monsters appeared, and the skeleton monsters and ghosts suddenly attacked the crowd from the darkness. The moment the Dark Elf Archer took off his recurve bow, he was struck in the chest by a leaping skeleton monster and flew out, along with Carl.
Marcos slid forward, swung his sword away from the skeleton monster, and reached out his ghost hand to summon the Eroded Purmon as he took the archer's position. Then Camilli's aura light curtain swept over Marcos's head and pounced on the monsters, while Fett and Anna followed closely behind each other and rushed up from either side of Marcos, and after a gorgeous, non-stop arc of light, the stumps and severed arms of the skeleton monsters flew all over the sky.
After that, the two quickly retreated, and then Marcos used Prunmont to force the four ghosts that appeared out of the entity, and Camilli seized the opportunity to release the telekinetic phantom to break the four ghosts into pieces one by one. "Carl, are you alright?" After dealing with all the monsters that appeared, Marcos hurriedly turned around and asked.
"It's fine, just a little hit. Karl got up from the ground, and pulled the Dark Elf archer up from the ground as well. Although he was hit in the chest by the skeleton monster, it didn't seem to be a big deal, and after a while, the guy was able to move normally again. "Rough-skinned guy, you should react a little faster. Anna felt the need to give the dark elf a warning.
"I ...... It's my first time fighting monsters. The dark elf argued.
"Then you're going to have to work hard. Marcos smiled. "Since we don't know the specific distribution of monsters, let's explore in the direction in which these monsters appear. ”
"Agreed. ”
As for the question just now, Karl thinks that there is no point anymore. Since there's more than one team here, it's good to leave the other monsters to the other teams to deal with. It's impossible for the cemetery to have monsters in every corner, as long as they can keep most of the places safe, after all, the guys who come to collect the bones of evil dragons don't have any combat power. They will only set off for here after ensuring that it is safe to do so.
The wooden cross and coffin are symbols of the dead, but this is no longer the place where the dead sleep under the influence of the evil dragon. While there are no ghouls, ghosts and skeleton monsters are tougher than those ghouls. Not to mention the so-called skeleton generals mentioned by Crent, everyone believes that they are definitely different from ordinary skeleton monsters.
As he walked, Marcos kept an eye out for any traces of skeletal monsters that might be on the ground. They weren't as accustomed to being underground as the body robbers, and they liked to move around in shady places, so Marcos wondered what they might leave behind. But at the same time, everyone must be careful in every direction, because those elusive skeleton monsters are likely to attack everyone when they are not expecting them.
