At the foot of Skull Mountain, it was shrouded in a layer of white mist, and the visibility was less than ten meters.

Dressed in a big red robe, he sat on the monster statue in front of the cave door, hugging one knee and hanging down the other, swinging unconsciously on his toes, and playing with the ends of his hair boringly with his hands in a daze.

Until there was a sound of footsteps in the fog.

Redsleeves immediately looked up, a hint of joy on his lips, but quickly frowned again.

This voice was not her familiar footsteps.

Soon a figure came through the mist.

The person who came was armed with a sickle and a graceful figure, apparently a woman.

"Is that you?" Red Sleeves frowned and looked at Lin Xue who appeared in front of her.

"It's me who let you down." Lin Xue said, quickly sorting out the remaining armor on her body.

"Nothing to disappoint."

Red Sleeves shook his head and looked ahead: "On the contrary, you came just in time, and I have to spend my own flesh and blood to save it." ”

"Huh?" Lin Xue was puzzled.

"Whoa."

Red Sleeves raised his chin and clicked on the closed cave gate in front of him, and on the mountain walls on either side of the gate, a scythe and a chain were carved into the depressions, about ten meters apart.

"It's still the old rule, you need to collect two weapons to enter the door, and each side needs to absorb the living blood of the contractor's bloodline to activate. If Brother Nan kills Ling, I will have to donate the blood of both sides alone. ”

Lin Xue gave her a strange look: "When you see me coming, don't you worry about what happened over there?" ”

"Hehe, what's there to worry about, the result is the same anyway, it's impossible for Brother Nan to lose."

Red Sleeves shook his head absentmindedly, jumped off the stone carving, and walked to the side of the mountain wall carved in the chain stone.

Then he turned around and motioned to Lin Xue and asked her to go to the other side.

Lin Xue also walked to the stone carving of the sickle, first carefully observed it, and after confirming that Red Sleeves was not lying, then put the sickle on it.

On the other side, the red sleeves also put the chain in at the same time.

The two weapons coincided with the grooves in the mountain wall.

Then the two of them looked at each other, each made a cut in the palm of his hand, and placed his palm on the weapon.

The blood was automatically sucked out of the wound and down the groove until the entire groove was filled with red, and the absorption stopped.

The two weapons, which were full of blood, suddenly bloomed with bright blood-colored light.

At the same time, the cave gate in the middle of the two carvings also quietly opened with a rumbling sound.

Behind the arched opening, it was as black as ink, bottomless, and no light came through, like a black hole leading to another dimension.

Seeing the entrance open, the two looked at each other again, and they both immediately put away their weapons on the wall and came to the cave in unison.

"I don't know if you've heard of it? Many years ago, there was only one bloodline of the contractor. ”

Red Sleeves looked at Lin Xue and said, "In other words, a few generations ago, our ancestors were likely to be blood relatives. ”

"So?" Lin Xue glanced at her a little strangely.

"So, for the sake of our ancestors, I won't kill you, leave the sickle, you go, I will let Brother Nan let you go." Redsleeves said.

Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, she originally thought that the smell of gunpowder would be stronger at this moment, but she didn't expect the other party to suddenly say this.

"Thank you, but don't ......" Lin Xue shook her head.

Red Sleeves suddenly frowned and looked at her: "You think about it, once you enter here, if you don't get the Death Inheritance, you won't have a chance to leave." ”

"I know." Lin Xue nodded. This is one of the instructions for the Legacy Quest, and if you enter the final area and don't get the Inheritance, you will remain in the Tomb of the Grim Reaper forever.

"However, I also have a reason why I have to be inherited...... Lin Xue said.

Red Sleeves glanced at her carefully, and did not persuade again: "This is your own choice, and when you enter it, I won't keep my hand anymore." ”

"Me too." Lin Xue nodded.

Red Sleeves didn't say anything more, turned around and jumped directly into the entrance of the cave, and the whole person disappeared directly into the darkness.

Lin Xue also walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, but before entering, she still hesitated, and the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in her heart hit again.

But when she thought that Mu You and Vivian were still in the battle of life and death in the distance, she still took a breath, stepped forward, and jumped into the hole.

After a long period of darkness falling, Lin Xue suddenly felt a light in front of her, making her see clearly that she was falling to the ground quickly, and hurriedly adjusted her posture, and rolled over, unloading the forward momentum.

When she looked up again, she was in a catacomb.

It resembles a dry underground riverbed, and judging by the erosion of the surrounding rock walls, it was once submerged for a long time.

The riverbed is surrounded by rocks and sand, and occasionally there are some giant animal and fish bones that have rotted for many years, forming a natural bone path along the riverbed.

Red Sleeves was standing not far from Lin Xue at this time, but his eyes did not look at her, but looked a little dullly ahead.

Lin Xue subconsciously followed her gaze, and was suddenly shocked.

At the end of the skeletal passage lies a throne made of white bones.

A figure wearing a wide cloak was sitting upright on the throne, but the inside of the cloak was empty, only outside the cloak, there was a large circle of dark blue energy enchantment, like a cloud of water, the surface rippled from time to time, completely covering the entire white bone throne, it seemed that it was this energy mass that supported the cloak inside, making it look like it was being worn by a person.

But what really shocked the two of them was that behind the throne, there was a huge skeleton more than twenty meters high, the skeleton as a whole was humanoid, the only difference was that two wing bones extended from the back.

Death...... Is it a giant?

The two were amazed. Judging from the situation at the scene, the skeleton in the rear is obviously the remains of the Grim Reaper, but I didn't expect that the real Grim Reaper would be so huge.

At this moment, a deep voice came from the front, but not from the massive skeleton, but from the cloak of the throne.

"Contractors who want to inherit my power, first of all, congratulations, you have found this place after many tests, and my inheritance is indeed buried here......"

"Next, just dip your hands into this blue energy cluster, and you can easily access my power......"

The voice didn't beat around the bush, and as soon as it appeared, it directly explained the way to obtain the inheritance.

Unlike the complicated ritual that the two imagined, the collection of this final inheritance was as simple as death, just by putting their hands deep into the energy group, and without any restrictions, as if whoever grabbed the two of them first would be his.

Red Sleeves and Lin Xue subconsciously glanced at each other, and they both raised their weapons and were wary of each other.

If there really isn't any other obstacle on the road ahead, then their only opponent now is each other, and whoever can kill the other side first will be the heir.

However, just as there was tension between the two, the voice sounded again.

"I am the watchman, who punishes iniquity and suppresses all evil in the world, and my heirs are to live by the purpose of the watchman, and neither the spiritually fallen nor the compassionate, are worthy of the name of death...... If you want to gain the power to walk on behalf of the Grim Reaper, you must first sacrifice your most cherished things before you can be passed on and recognized......"

"Most cherished...... ...... thing"

The new voice surprised both of them.

Red Sleeves subconsciously touched his stomach.

Her most cherished thing is undoubtedly the child who is still in the womb.

Although she has not yet been born, she has been pregnant for seven months, and she has fully experienced the feeling of motherhood during this time.

And now she wants to give up her children to gain strength......

Just thinking about it makes Redsleeves so heartbroken that he can't breathe.

However, she still forcibly calmed down and patted her face, now is not the time to hesitate, she has already paid too much for this moment, even if she is reluctant, she can't shake it!

Red Sleeves quickly made up his mind in his heart, came back to his senses, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find that Lin Xue on the other side had his hands trembling at this time, and his face was pale.

Faced with Redsleeves' gaze, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the exit, as if she wanted to go back the way she came.

However, the moment they entered, the entrance was gone, and all that remained was the cold mountain wall that was not high.

Lin Xue could only helplessly beat the mountain wall everywhere, but couldn't find any place to leave.

Looking at the other party's unbearable performance, Red Sleeves suddenly sneered: "I don't have any consciousness at all, and I still want to compete for what kind of death inheritance?" ”

As she spoke, she had already lifted the chain and walked towards Lin Xue step by step.

"I told you earlier that you want to come in, do you think you're here to come in? So those of you who have been pampered since childhood are really, you haven't experienced any hardships, isn't it good to honestly go back to be your eldest lady? ”

In the face of her ridicule, Lin Xue didn't seem to hear it, and only cared about groping more anxiously on the wall, but still couldn't find anything.

"If you're so unwilling, let me help you get free!"

Red Sleeves sneered and rushed forward, the chain in his hand pulling down.

The sound of breaking the air behind him roared, and Lin Xue subconsciously waved his sickle to block backwards.

The scythe and the chain collided with a crisp sound.

These two weapons of the god of death should have been half a catty, but at this time, Lin Xue was in a huge shake after all, and she was already a little reluctant to block.

Coupled with the red sleeves' full attack, under this collision, Lin Xue suddenly lost her balance, was swept out by the force, hit the mountain wall, and the sickle in her hand came out of her hand and fell to the ground.

The red sleeves were unforgiving, and when they saw that the opponent's weapon was out of their hands, it was an excellent opportunity to attack, and they turned back directly in mid-air, and the long chain in his hand contracted, piling up into a hard chain sword more than three meters long, stabbing straight towards Lin Xue.

And Lin Xue didn't have time to get up at this time, and the weapon was still off, and there was no way to avoid it.

"Rest in peace!"

Seeing that Jian Feng was getting closer and closer to the other party's heart, and the smile on the corner of Red Sleeves' mouth gradually expanded, she was completely convinced that today's winner would be herself.

However, what she never expected was that just as the blade of the sword was about to be stabbed, a figure suddenly jumped out of the package on the other party's waist and blocked between the two.

"Poof!"

In the next moment, the blade of the sword pierced into the human body, but it failed to stab Lin Xue's body, but was blocked by the figure that appeared in front of her, and the sharp blade of the lock passed through her chest.

"What the hell?"

When Red Sleeves saw what was in front of him, his hands trembled in fright, and he even forgot to pull the chain back for a while.

What appeared in front of her was a person, an old man with exquisite makeup, but the problem was that it was not a living person, but a dead corpse, because her face was painted with dark makeup!

The living and the dead, even if they wear makeup at the same time, are still easy to distinguish, this person's body, there is no life at all, so Red Sleeves is convinced that this is a dead person at first glance.

The question is, without any magical support around the other party's body, a dead person actually took the initiative to 'live' and blocked her chain sword?

Lin Xue stared blankly at the figure that appeared in front of her. At this time, the figure in front of her was the body of her grandmother.

Everything in front of her was just like the day she and Mu You first entered the door, and grandma was like this, suddenly appearing when she was in danger and helping her block the snow monster.

It's just that at that time, with their assistance, the grandmother regained her young body, and she could easily resist the power of the snow monster and play the enemy in the palm of her hand.

And now, she is only left with an old body, and she has no speed to be proud of, so she can only use her body as a shield to directly help her stop the attack.

Lin Xue looked at the impaled rickety and thin body in front of her.

A real dead corpse, of course, cannot be resurrected for no reason, and it will suddenly be resurrected at this time, because there is actually a faint remnant soul in the body in front of him.

On the snowfield that day, Lin Xue had told Mu You and Vivian that her grandmother's remnant soul had completely disappeared after teaching her how to use the scythe. But in fact, she lied, and the remnant soul did not disappear, but only became extremely weak and slept in the deepest part of the body.

She didn't tell anyone about it, and even lied to herself, sealing it in the depths of her subconscious, because she understood then that the purpose of her grandmother's two remnant souls was to help her control the scythe and get something more important in the future, and that grandma had paved all the roads for her before she died, so when the last remaining soul woke up again, it must be the time for her to say goodbye to her grandmother completely.

The reason why she was always subconsciously flustered before was because she subconsciously understood that the real day of parting was coming.

At this time, the part where the body was stabbed by the chain had begun to appear purple scars, and they were spreading rapidly around.

The two hands of the corpse were slowly raised, one left and one right, and were held on the chains on their chests.

The red sleeves in front saw the old man's movements, and then he reacted and hurriedly pulled out the chain.

However, under the strong pull, the chain did not move, and the two old hands, like two iron tongs, firmly fixed her chains.

Red Sleeves suddenly became a little anxious, and his feet kicked against the mountain wall, pulling back harder.

After such a hard effort, it finally worked, but instead of pulling out the chains, the half-empty corpse was pulled over with the chains.

Redsleeves took a few steps back and sat on the ground, and before she could get up, she saw the body fly straight towards her, and finally just pressed on top of her.

"Hmm......"

Red Sleeves snorted, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Before, she thought that this was an ordinary corpse, but it was only now that she received the power of the corpse, and she realized: How could this corpse be so heavy?

Turning her head to take a closer look, she found that the body was not only pressed on her at this moment, but also deeply inserted into the ground at the same time, and the whole person was like a human-shaped lock, locking her firmly in place, unable to move, not only that, this buckle seemed to block the space around her, so that she could not teleport and escape.

Red Sleeves subconsciously wanted to push the body away, but suddenly heard movement from the opposite side, and when he looked out of the corner of his eye, he found that Lin Xue had already gotten up in the distance, and quickly picked up the sickle on the ground.

Red Sleeves was startled, instinctively thinking that the other party was preparing to take the opportunity to attack her, and hurriedly took out the wand from the ring and prepared to defend.

didn't think about it, after Lin Xue got up, she didn't even look at her, but ran forward without looking back.

"Hey, wait......"

Red Sleeves was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the other party was preparing to take the opportunity to take the inheritance!

The other party doesn't need to fight her at all, as long as the Grim Reaper Inheritance is in hand, she will naturally die as the loser of the competition, and not only her, but also the child in her womb......

"What a joke!"

Red Sleeves suddenly became anxious and angry, this is the real moment of life and death, and she still has the kung fu to delay here.

The red sleeves pushed even more desperately with both hands, but it had no effect, although Grandma Lin Xue was already a corpse, but after all, she had a legendary physique foundation, which was not so easy to destroy.

Seeing that the push could not be done, Red Sleeves hurriedly reached behind the body, pulled out the chain that had penetrated through the old man's back, pointed the tip of the blade downward, and stabbed the old man.

"Get out of the way......"

The sharp blade continued to pierce down, and there were more and more necrotic purple patches on the old man's body.

With the best of his might, Red Sleeves finally made the pressure on the body lighter and lighter......

Listening to the sound of sharp blades piercing from behind him, tears fell silently on Lin Xue's face, although her heart was like a knife, her feet still firmly stepped over the bones all over the ground, and rushed to the throne of white bones in front of her.
