Chapter 217: Skeleton Guard

(PS: The chapter number of the previous chapter is wrong...... )

"It's amazing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kirito sighed.

The dwarf touched his beard, very proud.

The adventurers looked through the door.

The room has its own independent light source, which is a candlestick made of blue metal, ornate and strangely shaped for many years, and the candles on it are still burning quietly, swaying orange-red light.

The candlestick sits on an obsidian altar with dragon reliefs fluttering behind it. In addition to the candlestick, there are two items on the altar, a glass whistle and a bottle of potions.

The altar is located in the innermost part of the room, with three dusty sarcophagi clinging to the north wall, and two on the south side, as if they were guarding the altar.

The sarcophagus is carved with elven nobles in sacrificial robes, apparently from the period of the Worship of the Dragons.

The light of the candle is not bright enough, and the alternation of light and darkness is presented on the sarcophagus, which looks different and gloomy.

But what does the atmosphere of horror have to do with adventurers, it's not right to say that, isn't it this kind of excitement that adventurers pursue in addition to money.

"The flame is not extinguished. Shirley's eyes lit up and she said, "It's a good thing to sell for 100 gold coins." ”

However, the Winged Maiden did not go up to get it, because in this case, there would be a trap, and a forester with a lot of adventure experience would not do such a stupid thing.

"Can you see what's going on?" Kirito asked, turning his head to Besco.

Besco asked Kirito to help keep an eye on the surroundings, holding a lantern and searching the small chamber without touching anything suspicious, but found nothing but a note on the ground in the corner that had weathered very weakly with the passage of time.

Besco judged that if it were touched, the note would probably shatter directly. I can only crouch down and take a closer look. The handwriting on it was also blurred, and only vaguely words such as "sinking", "ashad delon", "shelter", etc., were all fragmented, and Besco could only fill in according to the possibility.

"This is probably the refuge of the Worship of the Dragons. Kirito said after listening to Besco's search results.

"If there are no traps, then these sarcophagi may be dangerous?" said Shirley, taking the longbow from her back and slamming a steel-tipped arrow to the string.

Wooden arrows are cheap though. Hardwood arrowheads are also hard when flamed with them, but they can't compare to refined metal arrowheads.

"I'm going to step on thunder. The dwarven warrior took the initiative and walked to the outermost sarcophagus.

The other three stood in their respective positions, Kirito behind Todak, Shirley by the door as far apart as she could, and Besco hidden in the shadows.

Heavy metal gloves touch the surface of the sarcophagus.

"Click. The five sarcophagi buzzed at the same time, and the lids fell in unison.

Five skeletons with blue soul fire burning in their eye sockets walked out of the sarcophagus, their supposedly pale bones glowing with metal, and the rusty machetes they were not holding. It's the Stygian Iron Greatsword.

Exquisite weapons made of fine steel by highly skilled blacksmiths can only be formed after hundreds of years under the scorching fire of the soul.

The sharp arrow shot at the skull, and the full force of the string made the sharp arrow nail into the hard bone.

Hitting a target the size of a skull isn't too difficult for Shirley to hit at close range, and the skeletons are not very agile when they have just woken up.

What made several adventurers frown was the defense of skeletons, although the straight-drawn bow tended to have lower strength than the recurve bow, but the longbow was not among them, and it was not infused with fighting energy and special energy. Without the use of special arrows, the longbow and steel arrows can gouge through thumb-thick plates of steel - a force that hits the head of a normal skull. It must have been the result of penetrating the fire that completely destroyed the soul.

But this golden skeleton only leaned back and straightened up, and the steel arrow could not be chiseled two centimeters in. The skull's head was crowned with a seventy or eighty centimeter white tail feather arrow that kept trembling, and the scene was very funny, but no one could laugh.

There are often huge benefits or risks behind such secret doors that are difficult to open, or both.

Before Todak was about to attack, the golden skeleton that had temporarily lost its balance due to Shirley's attack, and the other golden skeleton, which had just come out of the sarcophagus, charged at him with agility that ordinary skeletons could not have. The swarthy Stygian Iron Sword was raised high above his head, carrying the sound of breaking wind and a large amount of potential energy to slash down.

Todak lifted the heavy shield, and the skeletal slash landed on the heavy wooden shield, and after a dull crash, the dwarven warrior took a half-step back. The attacker was hit even harder, not only taking two steps back, but also being hit by the recoil force and standing unsteadily.

Under normal circumstances, Todak would force his discomfort around and launch a counterattack against an enemy who showed his flaws. But the guy with Shirley's arrow on his head had swapped places with his companion, and likewise raised his greatsword and blasted at Todak.

"Alternate attacks, bastard!" Todak scolded, only to be forced to hold his feet and raise his shield in a defensive stance.

This type of attack is almost impossible for mercenaries and adventurers to master, it is more like a coordination between elite soldiers.

Kirito is besieged by three skeletons, and he and Todak block the way outward, so Besco and Shirley are not attacked.

But it also makes it more difficult for Shirley to shoot.

Sweeping, stabbing, and slashing, the three skeletons used this set of attacks in turn, and the gapless attack made the black swordsman take two small steps back, and also made him lose the residual strength to continue to dodge, and the heavy slash of the third golden skeleton could not be dodged!

The interpreter in Kirito's hand lifted it from the height of his waist and collided with the slashed Stygian Iron Greatsword, and the invisible air flow and sound waves swept out from the point where the two swords collided, Shirley pressed her ears a little uncomfortably, and the orange-red candle flame on the candlestick was also blown by the air current.

The golden skeleton relied on the advantage of its moves to fight Kirito hard, but it still retreated as if it had been hit hard, and the Stygian Iron Sword in his hand almost flew out.

After the heavy split, the stab was straight, and out of the corner of Kirito's eye, he caught a glimpse of the starting hand of the first skeleton swing in the cycle, and he knew it in his heart.

"Let one go. Besco's voice suddenly sounded in Kirito's ears.

Wanderers also hide in the shadows.

Kirito looked at the sword blade that stabbed straight over, and the interpreter drew a small circle in the posture of parrying and blocking, and put it down on the opponent's dark iron greatsword, the sword momentum was pulled, and the path of the golden skeleton's previous charge was suddenly deflected by Kirito and rushed behind him.

If Kirito was alone, he wouldn't do it, and it would be better to be attacked head-on by an enemy who cooperated with him than to be attacked on his back.

Sure enough, the golden skeleton's residual attack awareness made it realize that this was a good attack position.

A hand poked out of the shadows, locking its skull, a dull blade silently piercing into its blue-burning eye sockets.

The cyan fighting spirit shone brightly.

The soul fire was instantly extinguished under the double impact of fighting qi and physics, and the Stygian Iron Great Sword fell to the bluestone ground with a crisp sound. (To be continued.) )
