Chapter 243: Arno's Grudge: Skeleton Giant
Burst!
Without saying a word, Chu Xin jumped into the sparkling twilight lake, stirring up waves hundreds of meters away.
This cold is very faint, but it is dense, if it weren't for Chu Xin is undead dragon body, I'm afraid it would be difficult to detect.
The water of this lake is extremely clear, and the fish are full of life, but despite this, the deeper Chu Xin dived, the more he sensed a trace of lingering resentment.
But all the way to the bottom of the algae-infested lake, there was nothing obvious about it.
"Huh? Is that a crack canyon? Chu Xin approached while thinking.
I saw the soil layer covered by rocks, and from the cracks, there was a small canyon at the bottom of the lake.
It's like a mouth to hell, because the strongest resentment comes from below.
Although the interior was pitch black and there was no abnormal sound, Chu Xin, who was sensitive to intuition, concluded that there was definitely something famous, and this situation was either a big murder or a good luck.
Whoa~
Without further ado, he slammed straight into the rocks, shrinking the skeleton into a streamlined shape and digging deep into it.
In an instant, it was as if I had entered another isolated world, and the original twilight lake, which was full of beauty and beauty, disappeared.
"The cold aura similar to mine, it seems to be right, it is some kind of corpse that retains the soul thoughts of the previous life!" Chu Xin said secretly.
Chu Xin continued downward, the rock walls on the left and right sides were pitted, and there were gray bones hanging between some raised stones, both human and non-human.
The canyon, which grows at the top and narrows at the bottom, resembles an inverted triangle with acute angles.
Fortunately, it can still accommodate Chu Xin's pass.
And the resentment is also rapidly expanding, and there are even wisps of eerie light visible to the naked eye floating in the water, dotting the surroundings with an outcast.
Wow!
As Chu Xin completely passed through the canyon and rushed out of the "leak", his vision suddenly opened up.
His special eyes,Give the function of a night vision device,For human beings, you can't see five fingers,But for him,It has good visibility,It's just that the clarity is unsatisfactory,Suddenly reduced from 8K to 480Pγ
What's more, there is more ghostly light here, like palm-sized jellyfish swimming freely, bringing a little light.
It is an irregular oval cavity with no entrances and exits except for the top of the head.
"That's?!"
Chu Xin looked down and couldn't help but be surprised, his first reaction was that he had strayed into the White Bone Cave.
At his feet were layers of Sen Sen bones, each of which had only bones left, not a trace of flesh and blood.
For some reason, they all gathered together to sleep, numbering in the thousands, and the thick resentment continued to coalesce into an eerie glow.
Whew~
When Chu Xin approached, a strange picture appeared in front of him.
"The terrible battle is finally over, and with the help of reinforcements, the army of the Witch King of Angmar has been defeated, but the famous capital of Middle-earth has completely lost its vitality, and the city is full of corpses, and viscous blood flows down the streets from top to bottom, converging into shocking streams.
The surviving people looked at the stinking former homeland, all weeping bitterly, and in addition to grief, they were in full swing to dispose of the corpses, otherwise it would be easy to cause a plague, and then it would be called mourning all over the wilderness.
However, the fire that burned the corpses was extremely inefficient, and the putrid smell of the corpses had attracted countless scavenging canine vultures, which smelled the tempting fishiness and greedily trekked from the northern wastelands to gather for this gluttonous feast.
In desperation, the people had no choice but to throw the remaining corpses into the blood-stained Twilight Lake, intending to let the lake send them to the river.
However, the resentment of the corpses did not disperse, and they did not give up the city they had been living in, so with the blessing of the Arno royal capital itself, a strange force was formed, which was like a whirlpool, swept most of the corpses into the deepest part of the canyon, and lasted until today, a thousand years later. β
"I see, this Middle-earth continent is indeed full of all kinds of mysteries."
Chu Xin's interest in this world increased a little, giving him a sense of novelty when he first read "Harry Potter" and "Dragons" when he was a teenager, and gave birth to a strong desire to explore similar to when he played the Cell.
Sure enough, life still needs surprises to enrich boring and boring days.
Rushing!
As Chu Xin approached, those ghostly lights suddenly became irritable, instantly filling the surroundings with a chaotic atmosphere.
Not only that, but the white bones under his body also trembled more and more.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Suddenly, the spectral lights flowed back downward, pouring into the endless bones.
Seeing the skeleton frame that moved up in an incredible manner, Chu Xin instantly understood that those ghostly lights were the mutilated resentful souls!
Years of captivity at the bottom of the lake have made them forget their past memories, but the nostalgia buried deep in their souls makes them unable to give up, so they can only continue to be silent in this dark world without heaven and earth.
Chu Xin's arrival undoubtedly disturbed them.
Rumble ~ Rumble ~
The overlapping white bones invariably propped up their arms and stood up in each other's arms.
Dark green flames ignited in the sunken eye sockets, even if they were soaked in water.
The skeletons opened their mouths exaggeratedly, letting out a deafening silent roar, venting their reluctance and resentment.
There are soldiers who blame themselves for failing to protect the city, civilians who grieve the tragic death of their families, nobles who are indignant at the destruction of their country, and domestic animals who are furious that they will not survive their lives.
Then, this huge army of skeletons turned its terrifying face to Chu Xin at the same time, and its jawbones kept opening and closing, like a hound.
Seeing that Chu Xin was indifferent, after they looked at each other, they picked up a weapon with tetanus magic from the ground and made a momentum of combat preparation.
Da Da Da ~ At this time, the skeleton man took the initiative to separate paths.
A two-meter-tall skeleton man in tattered robes stepped out of it, his bones far thicker and harder than the others, and the flaming eyes in his sockets were more condensed.
He dragged a black giant sword in his right hand, and the thousand-year-old immortal blade made a crisp sound on the ground, marking a sword mark.
He was the general of the guard of the royal capital of Annuminas, whose name is unknown, and in the final battle he fought with the witch king Angmar, and was finally slashed by Angmar's sword and sunk into the lake of twilight forever.
The general straightened his proud cheeks and looked at Chu Xin without fear, the standard proportions of the skull were enough to make the art student orgasm in the skull.
"Evil dragon bones, slaves of demons, vile and ugly reptiles, you dare to break into the great Annuminas! This is not the place for you to be, get out of here, or you'll be crushed! β
As the words fell, the skeletons slapped their chests with their weapons, and the sound of the collision was like a clarion call of determination.
In the next second, the skeleton archer standing behind him drew his bow and shot arrows, and in an instant, hundreds of bone arrows made of bone rose from the ground.
Bang Bang Bang ~
There was no suspense, Chu Xin didn't even bother to dodge, and resisted this wave of attacks without injury.
"I've been underestimated."
He thought, slashing with a claw.
Bang β
In a single photo, dozens of skeleton people were split into flying bones and slag by the air waves, and they died completely and directly.
Dozens of skeletons were also affected, with broken arms and legs on the spot.
They picked up the severed limb in horror, and as they retreated, they aimed at the joints and slammed them inside, and after a while, they were back to normal, as if they were fighting Gundam.
As long as it is not a devastating blow such as a body explosion and a headshot, no matter how serious the injury, the skeleton creature can jump around alive, and any broken rib is an insignificant small wound.
At this point, Chu Xin is the same as them.
"Fit!" The Skeleton General let out a stern roar.
When Chu Xin heard this, he immediately stopped the offensive and looked at them curiously.
All the skeletons went from scattering to gathering, overlapping, interweaving, and finally combining into a skeleton giant about thirty meters tall in the form of stacking music.
Thousands of skeletons, if you want to reach 100 meters, it is not too difficult, but it is true that it will shatter when touched.
Under the command of the general, although it is only more than 30 meters, every bone and joint is very hard, especially the spine, lumbar vertebrae, arms and thighs and other important parts, which are constantly piled up layer by layer.
The Skeleton Giant's shape is also biased towards combat, with sharp bone spurs and bone shield structures on the elbows and knees, and it obviously has good melee combat ability.
"Roar!"
It roared and immediately swung its right fist at Chu Xin.
The high-speed movement caused the lake to tumble, and the heavy resistance was broken through layer by layer, and split into a cracked torrent.
Chu Xin's slightly retracted wings flapped, and he dodged flexibly like a fish.
Boom!
The giant fist of the skeleton slammed into the stone wall, and immediately the rubble splashed everywhere, and the earth shook the mountain.
At such a deep depth, he can still exert such an arrogant force, which shows that the combat power of the skeleton giant is no less than that of the four monsters of Rune.
"No one will ever be allowed to trample on Arno's land again, and no evil will be allowed to pollute the holy Lake of Twilight," the skeletal giant roared with its own reverberation, "this time, Annuminus must be defended!" β
This is not the long-cherished wish of the general alone, but the common voice of thousands of people, and every punch is thrown by them together.
Boom!
Boom!
For a time, the cave cavity was full of rockfalls, and it almost collapsed.
Bang bang bang ~
A boulder fell from the canyon, blocking the exit of the cavity seamlessly.
With the passage of time, the skeleton giant has destroyed this place to a thousand holes, and even the range of movement has suddenly been reduced by more than half, causing Chu Xin's flight to be greatly restricted, and he was almost hit by heavy punches several times.
Fortunately, he has a lot of combat experience, what scene and what situation have he not encountered?
Rumble!
Chu Xin walked around behind him, and a mouthful of corpse flame sprayed on his back.
However, it can be located in water, and the power of the Skeleton Flame is greatly reduced, and it does not deal effective damage to the Skeleton Giant.
He's not a fool, he's just testing the effect of the Skeleton Flame in the water, so that he can have a number in mind, so that he doesn't make a mistake when he encounters a really tricky enemy.
Rumble~
The volume of the cavity became narrower and narrower, and the two of them were monsters of considerable size, so they had to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
No, it's a bone beat.
Boom!
Chu Xin flicked the tail bone blade and plunged straight into the ribs of the skeleton giant, and then struggled to twist it.
Bang Bang Bang ~
Instantly, there was a crisp sound like a firecracker.
Half of the skeleton giant's ribs were shattered, and the extremely important spine was cut through a third of the spine.
"Roarβ"
It didn't feel pain, but it still roared in grief.
did not retreat at all, but took the opportunity to strangle Chu Xin with his arms, and hit Chu Xin's lower body over and over again with his knees with thorny bone spurs, and the fierce and turbulent continuous impact even Chu Xin was a little unable to parry.
Therefore, Chu Xin, who often walks on the tip of the knife, also began to be ruthless.
He kicked the Skeleton Giant's broad hip in front of it, and its right leg staggered on the spot.
However, the skeleton man on the fracture surface was very efficient, and immediately clinged to it, trying to reassemble.
Bang β
Chu Xin didn't give it this chance.
An unpretentious slash of the skeleton slashed straight at its spine, and it was the same place as the previous wound.
In just one moment, the skeleton giant split in two in an unwilling roar.
At the same time, the rock wall overhead was unable to support it, and all of them collapsed in a chain reaction, burying the entire cavity.
The billowing smoke and dust that had just risen were instantly suppressed by the water that covered the lake.
β¦β¦
Twilight lake.
Rumble!
Under the cover of night, Chu Xin broke out of the water hideously.
His two hind feet gripped the upper and lower parts of the skeleton giant.
With a "clang", Chu Xin brutally threw it on the grass outside the city.
The skeleton giant was about to open his mouth to howl, and the next second he caught a glimpse of Annuminas, who had been reduced to ruins.
Overgrown with weeds and bustling anymore, even the home they once knew was nowhere to be found.
In an instant, it froze in place as if it had lost its soul, and after a long time, it muttered hoarsely, "Where is this~"
Chu Xin came to its side, "The Annuminas you have been guarding is long gone. β
Wow!
Like some kind of deadly spell attacking the heart, the skeleton giant split violently, and thousands of skeletons lay on the ground in embarrassment, looking at the city of longing, their burning eyes dimmed.
"I've never guarded Annuminas, we're just a bunch of lonely ghosts with nowhere to go." The general laughed at himself.
Although he said this, he didn't mean to accept it calmly, and the resentment in his heart was still boiling.
"Submit to me, and one day I will lead you to conquer Mordor and eradicate Sauron, the culprit who destroyed Arno." Chu Xin said coldly and proudly, but his tone was so firm and unquestionable.
It's not like a risky promise, it's more like a long-established fact!
As soon as these words came out, all the skeletons showed question marks on their heads.
The general looked at him suspiciously, as if he was looking at a fool, and couldn't help but wonder if this skeleton dragon knew what he was talking about, and the servant of darkness actually swore to kill the dark lord?
"The greedy dragon is full of lies, I won't fall for it, today only death in battle is our destination." The general stood up, his sword in both hands.
"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have rescued you just now." Chu Xin replied calmly.
The general was stunned for a moment, feeling that his words were reasonable, but he was always worried about being deceived.
"You have no choice but to continue to guard your regrets and suffer from the torment of your hearts, or you will honor me as your king and one day ignite the flames of Mordor with your own hands." Chu Xin's words were like a needle, piercing the hearts of the general and others with unmistakable precision.
After a long time, after seeking everyone's opinions, the general silently knelt down on one knee towards Chu Xin, "I hope you will always remember today's words, those who break their oath are destined to be shrouded in calamity." (End of chapter)
