Volume 1 Dragon's Breath Mountains Chapter 18 Eighteen Mountains of White Bones
It was long after the Bone Knight left with the Bone Swordsman that September came to his senses. For a moment, he felt the Skeleton Knight's gaze fall on him. It's just that ordinary skeletons like myself are everywhere, and they really don't deserve its attention.
...
A wilderness of bones
September's bone sword was stuck in the opponent's bones and couldn't be pulled out for a while.
He swung his bone shield and knocked the opponent down, slamming it on the head! Although he didn't know any skills, the other party was just a very ordinary cannon fodder level.
It smashed its head smoothly and opened its mouth to suck in the soul fire.
"It turns out that you have to be one order higher than the other party to suck like this!"
...
"Quest Devouring Revenant, current progress 4/10. ”
Immediately after that, there was a prompt:
"The number of players who are currently alive is 2695512, and the number of players who have completed Devouring Revenants is 1. ”
"When the number of players who have completed Devouring the Revenant reaches 100,000, or the number of players who have survived is only 100,000, the third step quest will be activated to enter the world of the living.
"The system will select 30,000 players from 100,000 players to enter the world of the living. The selection criteria are given priority to the price, the one with the same level will be given priority to the one with the largest number of devouring souls, and the woman will be given priority if the number of devouring souls is the same. ”
"Thirty thousand. ”
September pondered silently, then carved a line of words on the ground with his bone sword and drew an arrow.
'I will go in the direction indicated by the arrow, and if I am on the same path, please respond when a skeleton salutes you!'
The skeleton warrior stood up, looking into the distance, clenching his sword and shield tightly.
......
Carefully lurking, September threw a bone at the pile of bones ten meters away, waiting for ten seconds to attract the skeleton, but he was not in a hurry.
In a different direction, a large bone smashed against the black stone ten meters away, making a loud knocking sound.
"Click......"
In the distance, a skeleton cannon fodder walked towards the black stone.
September did not immediately attack, continued to wait. The skeleton cannon fodder circled around the blackstone, and found no abnormality, and it began to slowly move away from the blackstone.
With no second skeleton appearing, September calmed down as he got up and rushed towards the skeleton cannon fodder.
"Hey, grandson!"
He jumped high, jumped half a meter high with the power of running, and the bone shield in his left hand slammed into the face bone of the skeleton cannon fodder, shattering its fragile head with one blow!
After finding the trick to jumping, the skeleton's body is very light, so it jumps higher. But correspondingly, the strength is not strong, and the body is more likely to be destroyed.
......
In the Soul Abyss, skeletons are almost the weakest creatures.
Here, there are a total of eighteen places in the White Bone Mountains, each of which is almost boundless, and ordinary skeletons can't get out until their soul fire withers and dies.
However, in this realm, even the eighteen White Bone Mountains together did not account for one percent of this dead world.
The place where three million players have landed is only one of the Bone Mountains.
But out of a total of 3 million players, there hasn't been a single one in September until now. The vastness of the land is unmistakable.
......
It's been 4 hours since he descended to the soul abyss, and September threw down the skeleton in his hand.
His skeleton at this time was as white as jade, containing a layer of luster, and his strength was almost one-third greater than when he had just advanced.
Along the way, he carefully only killed skeletons and cannon fodder, and all the skeletons he encountered advanced took a detour.
Counting the skeletons he had just absorbed, he was just in time for the task.
"Quest Devouring Revenant, current progress 10/10. ”
"Congratulations to the player for completing the quest Devouring the Revenant, your current number is 1734. ”
"Number 1686 died, and you are currently number 1733. ”
"The number of players currently alive is 2201268, and the number of players who have completed Devouring Revenants is 1,733. ”
"800,000 dead?"
He was not very touched, after all, everyone didn't know each other, but it was inevitable that things would hurt him.
At the beginning, he almost died at the hands of the White Bone Swordsman, and even if he robbed it later, it was extremely dangerous.
Speaking of which, it's better to go hunting skeleton cannon fodder to be safe.
It's a pity that not every skeleton cannon fodder can be absorbed, a total of 16 skeleton cannon fodder were killed in September, and only seven of them could absorb soul fire. The rest were the same as the little skeleton he had killed for the first time, and after the destruction of the carrier, the soul fire dissipated. Lying lazily on the ground, he felt very tired and wanted to sleep.
...
The skeleton is not tireless, absorbing ten revenant souls, each time expending mental energy to resist the evil thoughts associated with the soul fire, and the chaotic and decaying memories.
September doesn't know if other players have done this, but he doesn't think everyone can do it. Since he was sixteen years old, his mental power was different from ordinary people, and he could easily let his mental power wander through any part of his body.
When he is still, he can hear the flow of blood in his body, and when his mood fluctuates violently, it will affect the magnetic field and signals around him, as well as all kinds of abnormalities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
With his mental strength being so exhausted, how could everyone do the more than 1,700 people in front of him?
Driven by instinct, September went to sleep at this moment.
Not only did they regain their energy, but the ten revenants that had been devoured earlier had not all been digested. He had a feeling that he would be even stronger when he woke up from his sleep.
"You can't sleep yet, among the 2.2 million players alive, only the strongest 30,000 players can go to the world of the living. ”
"One more level!"
If he still had a physical body, he had at least three ways to recover his energy quickly.
But the first two have sequelae, and they can't be used without a physical body, and now only the third one can be used.
The third type is to make the spiritual platform empty, also known as meditation. Anyone can do it and there are no after-effects.
But precisely, the last thing he dares to use now is meditation. Because there is a good chance that you will fall asleep, that is not much different from sleeping.
It's not that it can't be used!
He suddenly remembered one of the experiments, and if he did, the chances of falling asleep would be greatly reduced.
That is, standing and meditating.
......
Standing in a desolate world, holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left, September meditated with his arms crossed and two weapons in his arms, making sure to draw his weapons as soon as he woke up.
He wasn't too worried about a skeleton sneaking up on him, he was more alert when he meditated than when he was awake, especially when a threat was approaching. No matter how tired you are, it won't change, as time and experience have proven.
...
In another part of the White Bone Mountains.
A petite white skeleton wields a narrow bone sword, and its opponent is a large skeleton wielding a mace nearly three meters tall.
An inch short and an inch dangerous, the thin sword skeleton kept swimming against the opponent. From time to time, it stabbed the bone sword like a stitch, and each blow was precisely stabbed into the opponent's knee joint.
It is like a white-boned butterfly, dancing, no matter how angry and irritable the opponent is, he will not touch it for a point.
The tall skeleton was scarred by both joints, and finally overwhelmed and collapsed.
The next moment, the bone sword pierced through the soul fire in its pupils.
The petite skeletal swordsman shook off his long, non-existent hair to absorb the fruits of victory.
"The 18th!"
......
The tall skeleton slammed hard against the boulder, and the unbridled sound echoed through the space.
The skeletons that heard the sound around them kept gathering here, and more than half of them had advanced once.
“1、2、3、4...... 7. If you solve it, you will have exactly enough of 50. ”
It grinned, holding a bone spear more than two meters long, and charged with no indomitable direction.
Suddenly, the bone spear was attached with a layer of red light.
......
The skeleton mage stood quietly, as if his attention was not on the battlefield.
However, the six skeletons under its command advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, three skeleton warriors resisted in front, two skeleton swordsmen retreated with one blow, and one skeleton spearman would give his opponent a must-kill blow every time he struck.
After the opponent fell, the skeleton mage was still pondering, and instead of rushing to absorb the soul fire, he ordered the skeleton spearman to come forward and absorb it.
"As more and more souls are devoured, I feel that my thinking is stiff, my personality is beginning to be indifferent, my reason is also degrading, and the sequelae are obvious. ”
"A normal human being in this environment should be fearful for the first few days, then irritable, and self-destructive if it lasts longer. ”
"Now the mood is different from the normal development, and it seems that the problem is in the absorbed souls. The more souls are absorbed, the less sanity there becomes. ”
"If in the end, you can't enter the 30,000 people in the world of the living. Then the humans who remain here will inevitably be gradually assimilated until they are reduced to a slightly more special undead skeleton. ”
The skeleton mage habitually pushed down the non-existent frame.
"What kind of power does the system use to send human beings to the world of the living? Only one percent of the three million people will be taken from them, and eliminating the weak is only one of them, is your energy limit 30,000? Then, it makes sense that you have to cultivate for three years before you can start the space passage again. ”
"What is your purpose? From an energy point of view, if the people behind the system are the * side forces, then the three million people who come here must be * team, whether it is survivability, follow-up * system, or energy saving. ”
"Whoever you are, whatever your purpose, sooner or later you will tell me yourself. ”
"Come on, I'll see. ”
