Chapter Ninety-Seven: Skeletons
Git nodded worriedly, "Yes, if this passage really leads directly to the inside of the swamp, we may encounter a lot of swamp monsters like dire crocodiles on the way ahead, and I'm afraid of us..."
"I'm afraid of what, don't you say that I forgot, you know that the southwest direction is the easiest to encounter dinosaurs, why did you bring them to this direction?" Yang Fan looked at Gate with a smile on his face.
Gatt was slightly stunned, and said embarrassedly: "I just want to find some wild vegetables and fruits for my master, and by the way, I will investigate the situation." ”
Yang Fan sighed and said: "Forget it, I know that you also want to share some of the pressure for me, I don't blame you, and you didn't take them too deeply, if you really want to say it, not only are you not at fault, but you have some credit for discovering this tunnel." ”
"Master, I..." Gate's head was lowered, his eyes slightly ruddy, and his tone trembled slightly, and he was speechless.
patted him on the shoulder, Yang Fan smiled: "Okay, don't be so awkward as a big man, just like I said to you before, on the surface we are superiors and subordinates, but in essence, I have always regarded you and these soldiers as my comrades-in-arms, brothers." So I'm glad you can share some of it for me, but I can't accept it if you put your own safety at risk. ”
"I see, master. Gat nodded violently, revealing a smirk that looked like Ed's.
The conversation between the two did not deliberately lower their voices, not to mention that in this small tunnel, even if they spoke in a low voice, they would be amplified a lot, so the soldiers around them all heard Yang Fan's words of treating them as comrades-in-arms and brothers, and for a while everyone was secretly moved, and at the same time, they were also glad that they could have such a affectionate master.
Click, click, click, just as everyone was immersed in the emotion, a faint click suddenly came from the tunnel.
Without waiting for Yang Fan's command, everyone stood up from the ground almost instantly, the infantry stood in front of them with a huge shield in their left hand, and the archers were all ready to attack with their bows and arrows.
Yang Fan and Get, who were surrounded by everyone, stared closely into the depths of the dark tunnel, wanting to see what appeared at the first time.
As the sound got closer and closer, everyone subconsciously grabbed the weapons in their hands, and Yang Fan also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, frowning tightly, praying in his heart that it was not too against the sky.
"I don't think I've heard that anywhere. Keith lowered his head and muttered quietly. Then he raised his head sharply and shouted, "Not good, undead. ”
However, when he shouted this, he realized that he had done it too much, because the creature that made the clicking sound had already appeared in the light of the magic lamp.
I saw that in front of the team, at the junction of the magic lights and the darkness in the tunnel, a one-meter-eight tall skeleton with a rusty scimitar in his hand was standing there quietly. The white bones emitted a chill under the illumination of the magic lamp. In the hollow eye sockets, two dark green flames flickered and dimmed, and the yellowed teeth closed one by one as if they were talking, making a clicking sound.
Even if it was Yang Fan and the others, who had been mentally prepared, it was a little surprising to suddenly encounter such an infiltrating thing, in his opinion, the direction of this tunnel was built towards the swamp, even if it was in danger, it should be from a swamp monster like a dire crocodile, but the current situation seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
This is the first time he has seen the undead in this world with his own eyes, it is very strange, although it is a little infiltrating in this dark environment, but it is not as frightening as he imagined, maybe because it has entities after all, and it is slightly different from the ghosts he has seen in his previous life!
After seeing that it was just an ordinary skeleton, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Keith still frowned with a worried expression.
"Master, do you want to kill him?" Ed asked, frowning.
The people of the Templar camp hated the undead the most, which had something to do with their beliefs, so when they saw this skeleton, their expressions were not very good-looking.
Yang Fan was about to say that he would take a look at the situation first, but he saw that the skeleton suddenly raised the scimitar in his hand and ran crookedly towards everyone.
The infantry naturally wouldn't let him break through the defense, only to see an infantryman's left hand of the giant shield push forward violently to block the skeleton's way, and the broadsword in his right hand swept towards the skeleton's head, only to hear a snap, the entire skeleton's skull was cut in half.
Yang Fan had heard that the combat power of skeletons was the lowest, but now that it was so, the infantry directly wiped him out without much effort, it seems that there is no certain scale, and skeletons, a low-level undead creature, are almost useless.
Of course, this is limited to the skeletons of this world, and it is not necessary to change to the skeletons of the graveyard camp in Heroes of Invincible, after all, those skeletons can be transformed into archers, and compared to the fragile melee combat, the combat effectiveness of long-range skeleton archers is still good.
Originally, I thought it was some kind of powerful demonic beast, but I didn't expect it to be just a lowest-level undead, Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it's almost rested, let's continue to move forward!"
"Master, it's better to be cautious, I think things may not be that simple. Keith said with a frown.
Yang Fan glanced at him in surprise, and then smiled with relief: "Tell me your opinion." ”
"Do you remember the last time we found the notebook in the gold mines? I remember that the master seemed to say that 200 years ago there was a duke who had two necromancers under his command, and then they were destroyed for some unknown reason. Looking around at the walls of the tunnel, Keith said, "The master also said that this tunnel should have been built by the duke, if this is really the case, there may be more undead creatures in it!"
Yang Fan didn't stop because of his words, and waved his hand to let the infantry clear the way, Yang Fan said as he walked: "I thought about all of this just now, but we have a reason to have to go in." First of all, this place is very close to our forest camp, and if there are a large number of undead creatures in it, it is very likely that they will run out through the tunnel and directly threaten the forest camp. In addition, I always feel that this tunnel has something to do with the migration of swamp creatures. ”
"What the master means is that the reason why the swamp creatures run into the Whispering Forest is because the undead creatures in this tunnel have escaped? If that's the case, how many undead creatures do you have to be able to achieve this effect, and just ordinary skeletons shouldn't make ninth-order demonic beasts like Dire Crocodiles afraid!" Gate's eyes widened, his face horrified.
Yang Fan shook his head and said in a low tone: "I don't know, all this is just my guess." ”
"I hope the master's guess is wrong. Getter smiled wryly.
