Chapter 6: The Land of Bones

When the sun rose, the expeditionary force found the location of the wolf fight last night, and King Ali was very keen to order the attendants to search the adjacent earth caves, and soon dug up the corpses of five spearmen and a wolf cub.

"Report, Lord Ali King, Lord Kangding, our army seems to have lost its way during the search, and the third team of spearmen, the fourth team of spearmen, and the seventh team of crossbowmen have all lost their traces in the mountains and forests. ”

Condin listened to the soldier's report, and suddenly looked up, only to see that the sky was still the same, and there was no black fog that hindered exploration, but this sky gave him a false feeling, he seemed to remember something, only to see his big hand open, sending out a strong magic shock wave towards the sky.

As the distorted light in the sky changed, they saw that above this seemingly blue clear sky, it was already covered with black fog at some point, but there seemed to be something on this mountain that could make all the black fog in the sky transparent, so that the people who came in had no idea when they had stepped into this place.

"It's not good, enter the exploration land unprepared, quickly, the 12th Army, the 14th Army will immediately return to the army to garrison the entrance. ”

"It's too late. ”

Kang Ding withdrew the shock wave, shook his head and said: "This black fog has stretched for dozens of miles, and the army has been trapped in the black fog for an unknown amount of time, and now I am afraid that we will not be able to find the entrance again, unless we can complete the exploration of this territory, otherwise your expeditionary force and my army will be trapped here." ”

"Damn! That kid lured our army into the Exploration Ground, and when I caught him, I couldn't get rid of it unless I cut him with a thousand knives. “

"The black fog of the exploration place can cut off all the people inside and the outside world, causing the explorer to feel confused about the road, we want to find the white spring rain in such a situation, it will become very difficult, it is better to combine the strength of my army and your expeditionary force, while exploring this place, while searching. “

"Your army, hmph, most of your three armies are stationed in the castle, and you only brought more than 10,000 men. Half of my expeditionary force has been brought in, a force of 140,000 soldiers, and if I explore this place now, it will all be my people who will die, and it will be you and I who will benefit. “

"Rest assured, for Conding, the importance of the lordship is more important than the benefits of this exploration. “

King Ali patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you know how to do it very well, and you are worthy of being the person that His Majesty the King likes." “

Bai Quanyu and 7 spearmen were completely lost in the Ghost Claw Mountain, dizzy and didn't know where they went, what he was afraid of now was not that he would encounter a demonic beast, but that he was most afraid that he would unknowingly run back and collide with the pursuers, that is, he couldn't say what he was afraid of.

In a short time, the team of 8 people had already walked out of the barren forest, and in the blink of an eye, they entered a wild collar full of white bones, on the left of the wild collar was a towering black mountain, and on the right was a gloomy canyon with ghosts, these ghosts seemed transparent and harmless, in fact, if you got close to them, it was hard to imagine what would happen.

"Look, my lord, there is a path of bones ahead. ”

The so-called path of bones is a road made of bones of dead people, and generally where the path of bones appears, it is a place where terrible things are staying, as for what kind of terrible things are, it may be high-level magical beasts, or it may be natural traps. The spearmen looked at the cold white bones, broken blades, and old rags under their feet, almost covering the entire mountain, and a sense of foreboding came out of their hearts.

A spearman picked up a rag and a helmet under his feet and handed it to Bai Quanyu, it was obvious that this was the burial place of the exploration army sent by the lords over the years. Looking at the white bones all over the mountains in front of him, and the mountains of armor piled up, there were at least hundreds of thousands of dead people here, not counting some other explorers and wandering heroes and warriors from the outside world.

Although this place looks very dangerous, he would rather die in the mouths of demonic beasts and necromancy than be captured by the enemy, and the people in the territory exchange their lives for him a chance to leave, if he is caught, then these loyal Baiquan generals will all die in vain, and he can't turn back just for this. "Keep going!"

At this time, one of the spearmen who walked in front suddenly stabbed the ground with a spear, and a shining light surged out between the bones, and the spearman picked open the bones and said excitedly.

"Great, found crystal resources again. ”

They looked at his feet, and sure enough, there was a small pile of crystals buried under a stack of bones, however, another experienced spearman quickly stopped: "Stop, don't move this resource, the resources in the land of bones are cursed." ”

It's a pity that the reminder came too late, the spearman's spear head had already been inserted into the crystal pile, and a freezing whirlwind swept out from the crack in the crystal pile, and a ghost-like shadow quickly wrapped around the spearman's neck, and after a rotation around him, the spearman's whole body seemed to be drained, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Bai Quanyu flashed his sword, and the spearman beside him advised: "Don't make a move!" These are resentful spirits hiding in crystals, they only like to hide in their own resources, as long as we don't disturb them, they generally won't take the initiative to hurt us. ”

Another experienced spearman also said: "That's right, this kid is too reckless, we can't touch the resources under this ground, the land of bones is different from the mining site, although both of them also hide rich resources of war exploits, but the difference between them is that every resource under the land of bones is parasitic spirits, these ghosts are either as strong as high-level creatures ghost dragons, or as weak as peasant ghosts, but no matter whether they are strong or weak, as long as we take the wrong thing once, we will immediately fall into the place of death and no burial, so we can't take risks." ”

"It's okay to avoid it, the road behind must be light, and you must not step on these resources again. Another experienced gunner reminded.

Bai Quanyu nodded, he knew that what it said was right, so they all listened to his words and did it.

In the land of bones, they saw a lot of small white flowers blooming on the skull, these small flowers grew surprisingly beautiful, and a bit like the white peony of his previous world, so they unconsciously looked at the flowers twice. However, when his gaze just stayed on Xiaohua's body for a while, the white flower that grew on the skull immediately distorted, and the flower, which was originally still delicate, turned into a pair of fanged giants more than three meters tall at this moment!

The expressions on the faces of the spearmen immediately became extremely distorted when they looked at the ghosts that appeared, because these ghosts were quite famous demons in the second order, they could disguise themselves as flowers when they slept, and once they woke up, they would turn into monsters with infinite power. Such a creature will only wake up when humans are staring at it, and if no one is staring at it, it will still sleep peacefully even if someone steps on its stamen, and Bai Quanyu doesn't understand this kind of monster, so it inadvertently triggers the conditions for it to wake up.

But this ghost did not attack them rashly, because Bai Quanyu released the dragon's magic power out of his palm, and it seemed to be very afraid of his magic power, no, or rather, fear.

"They all follow me, they seem to be afraid of my magic. He seemed to already know why the ghosts here didn't attack them, because the dragon magic in his body might just happen to be the object of fear for these ghosts.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a sharp arrow fly in the distance, striking the throat of one of the spearmen beside him, and then several more arrows flew and killed three spearmen in succession. The remaining two spearmen looked back, only to see that not far away, a team holding high the 'griffin banner' of the Celestial Dragon Empire had been rushing in their direction one after another.

"They chased so fast. ”

The seriously wounded spearmen looked at this army of thousands of people, their mood was extremely cold, and another sharp arrow flew and shot at their feet, Bai Quanyu didn't have time to stop, as the feather arrows fell one by one around them, he had to put down a few dead spearmen, and ran desperately towards the road of bones with the remaining two spearmen.

They don't care where there are traps and ghosts, because the Celestial Dragon's crossbow team can shoot them into hedgehogs at any time.

"Run to a place where there are a lot of stones. ”

Bai Quanyu pointed to a nearby pile of rocks, and gave an order, there are many armor piles and skeletons in the pile of stones, there are many stone monuments, and there are many bunkers, which is definitely the best natural barrier for crossbowmen who can only shoot in a straight line. The archbows and crossbows that followed all stopped as they chased them to the entrance to the path of bones.

The leader of the general looked at the pile of cold bones under his feet with a solemn face, and his heart was heavy, and he was unwilling to step on the white horse under his crotch.

"General, ahead is the road of corpses, do we dare to chase it. ”

The general glanced at the three people who were gradually running farther and farther away, and said lightly: "This boundless white bone, to say the least, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died here, and our expeditionary force plus all the logistics is only about 100,000 soldiers, not to mention this small thousand-person crossbow team, even if the headquarters comes, we have to think twice." ”

The lieutenant general beside the general echoed: "What the general said is extremely true, wherever there is a path of corpses and bones, there must be a large demonic beast hidden! And I see that the dead qi in this valley is particularly heavy, and it has been precipitated for many years, maybe it is still an ancient demonic beast."
