Chapter 298: Death Guard
Just as Lin Yu was getting ready, a heavy footstep came from a distance.
Listening to the sound, it seems to be a strange sound that only comes out when a heavy object hits the ground.
In the distance, a humanoid figure was slowly approaching them, and the other party's speed was very slow, one step at a time.
When it approached, Lin Yu saw clearly that this was a half-decomposed dry corpse, the skin and flesh on its body had already become scorched, like scorched roast meat on a flame, tightly clinging to the bones, the body was tattered, there was a lot of dust, and the clothes before his death were still worn on his body, and they had not become fragile and vulnerable because of the passage of time.
The opponent's upper body was tied with several close-fitting straps, which had become loose by this time, but on its head, there was a cage-like thing covering its head, leaving only the mouth and nose and the gap between the two eyes.
Through it, Lin Yu saw a pair of dark blue points of light, which were flickering.
At first glance, this guy was somewhat similar to the corpses that had been manipulated by the ancient dead worm before, but when it slowly pulled out the dual swords that were carried at his waist, Lin Yu felt that the momentum of the other party suddenly changed at this moment.
From a charred corpse that looked unthreatening, to extremely sharp.
The strange corpse drew its swords and raised its weapons cross, its movements silent and sluggish, and because of the deterioration of the corpse, it looked a little funny.
But everyone present did not dare to underestimate it.
The dry corpse held its twin swords high, and its head slowly rose upwards with the shop where the two swords crossed.
When it froze, the silence was suddenly broken.
"It's the Death Guard, the guardian of the ancient kingdom, this is one of the most powerful guards during the reign of the spirit beast!"
The old mountain demon suddenly let out a surprised voice, and when Lin Yu turned his head curiously, he saw that his skull-like face showed a surprised expression for the first time.
"It'...... It's dangerous, you can't deal with him, run! Come on! ”
……
Although Song Ce and the others didn't trust that Xie Feng very much, when they heard from the miners around them that there were still living people buried underneath, they didn't delay much and immediately helped dig and save people.
There was a beast master in the same team, and his spirit beast happened to be a pangolin of the earth system.
This spirit beast is very good at digging holes in the mountains, and the digging speed is not at all an ordinary thing, which can be compared.
Without saying a word, the beast master immediately summoned his pangolin beast and asked it to make a hole next to the collapsed pit first, and probe out the buried people below in advance, so that people could easily determine the situation of the trapped people and make targeted rescue operations.
Under the instructions of its owner, the pangolin used its sharp claws to open a hole more than a cubit wide on the side, and kept digging downward.
It digs so fast that even hard rock turns into stone dust as it excavates.
It wasn't long before the pangolin emerged from the cave again and hissed at its owner.
"It says there are still people alive down there, they're trapped not far down there, there are five of them!"
As soon as the people heard the message from the pangolin, they immediately set to work.
This time, the miners who came to the rescue, in addition to doing it themselves, also had several spirit beasts join, and their rescue work immediately became smoother and faster.
In some areas, spirit beasts are incomparable to ordinary people.
They have sharp claws and strong, sturdy bodies that can crush rocks and carry boulders weighing more than 100 pounds.
With the help of a team of more than a dozen spirit beasts, people easily moved the boulders blocking the road, and after that, some of the remaining small gravel was carried by people manually.
Soon, the location of the unnamed survivor was discovered.
When the last stone was removed, there were five grizzled people hiding in it, in addition to a small space.
As soon as the other party saw the people around him, he immediately came out of it, hugged the people around him and broke down and cried.
Song Ce glanced at the five people at this time, they were all wearing miners' clothes, and they all looked like people from the mine, and there was no Lin Yu.
This made him feel more relaxed at the same time, but his heart couldn't help but tense a lot.
"Keep digging, Hadrons, and let your pangolins dig deeper and try to find more survivors."
"Understood!"
After the five survivors were sent out, they began to continue digging, and by this time, their excavation progress had made significant progress, and at the same time, the first victim was also found under the rubble.
When the first deceased person was found, the other person was first seen with a hand, a hand full of scars and blood.
When the people had exhausted all their efforts to get it out of the pile of stones, they saw a deformed and tattered corpse.
This arm was the best-preserved part of his whole being, and when the cave collapsed, he fled nervously, but unexpectedly, a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds above his head smashed straight on his body, crushing him out of shape, making him inhuman.
In the end, the people who came to the rescue first managed to shovel his body out of the cracks in the stones, little by little, and then transported his body out in a broken sack along with the stones stained with tissue and blood.
"Let's go on, there are survivors down there!"
……
At the same time as the excavation was taking place, deep underground, Lin Yu had just fought with this fierce guard.
As the old mountain demon said, the strength of the other party is terrifyingly strong.
Although the other party is dead, he still retains some memories of his death, and these memories are all related to the battle.
The opponent's dual swords are not only used for offense, but also for defense.
Lin Yu's sword moves were tightly guarded by the opponent's double swords.
The other party is also worthy of being called a "fierce guard", and the word defense is vividly reflected in it.
After Lin Yu adjusted, he took out another sword.
Seeing that the sword blade was about to penetrate the opponent's body, suddenly, a pale sword shadow suddenly swung up.
The other party just swung his sword violently, clenched his two swords with both hands, crossed them in front of him, and stuck the black sword in his hand in front of him, unable to advance for half a minute.
The double sword in its hand is like a pair of scissors at this time, and everything that shows its head will be cut by the double sword.
A sword missed, and Lin Yu had no choice but to withdraw.
At this time, the Death Guard immediately separated his two swords and swung them down heavily towards the place where he stood.
He had no choice but to tap his feet on the ground and retreat quickly, but he didn't expect that although the opponent's sword blade did not touch his body, when the blade landed, it caused a shock wave on the ground.
Two visible ripples, rapidly expanding forward.
The bones and stones that existed in the path immediately became shattered when they were hit by the shock wave.
Lin Yu could only jump up from the ground to avoid being injured.
After he dodged these two shock waves, behind him, where he had been standing, the shock waves exploded, leaving two pits on the surface, and the rocks in the pits were all shattered, turned into stone powder, and escaped into the air.
This opponent not only has extremely sharp moves, but also in terms of strength, he is also much stronger than ordinary people.
