Otherworldly Skeleton

"Scream, even if I'm a pile of bones!"

————————————————————————————————————

Feeling a piercing pain, Lu Yan woke up. What caught his eyes was the gray-white bones at the edge. The bones formed the shape of a person or animal, and they were crowded and collided with each other with stiff movements. There was a crackling sound, among which Accompanied by harsh bone cracking sounds from time to time.

Lu Yan lowered his head, and what he saw was not the firm chest muscles and lower abdomen, but the white and empty ribs, and a few maggots covered with black mud and mucus wriggling on them, and a very itchy feeling came , Lu Yan couldn't help shivering, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pat, but what he stretched out was a trembling white bone claw.

Am I a skeleton?

Lu Yan vaguely realized that this should not be the case, but he couldn't remember what he looked like before. The bones below the waist were still buried in the rotten soil, and the pain came from the hip bone stuck in the mud. Lu Yan wanted to move I started to bury myself in the rotten soil, but found that my slender finger bones could not be used at all.

"Get up, get up, you stupid, lazy ashes, you are here to be cannon fodder, not to be masters!" Suddenly there was a rough roar from not far away, Lu Yan raised his head and saw a dark red The tall skeletons were pulling those skeletons that hadn't emerged from the ground with their hands. His movements were rough and brutal. Most of the skeletons pulled out were torn apart and thrown on the ground.

"Damn, what a waste, I really doubt what use you bastard ashes can be." The dark red skeletons got closer and closer, Lu Yan began to realize something, those torn skeletons were scattered on the ground, except for the occasional twitching Some outside, have lost the ability to move.

died?

dead!

Thinking of the word "death", Lu Yan seemed to have received a booster suddenly. He struggled desperately. Although he couldn't figure out the terrifying meaning contained in the word "death", Lu Yan had a vague feeling that he must not let the dark The red skull started, and he had to climb out of the mud independently.

The process of climbing out of the soil was very difficult. The phalanges, metacarpal bones and arm bones were so painful that they were so hard, and the waist, spine and lower limbs buried in the soil seemed to be broken, and Lu Yan did indeed hear the cracking crack of the bones. There was a sound, but he couldn't tell whether the bone cracking sound came from himself or his companion.

"Look at your painful rotten bones face, this kind of pain is unbearable, when those fleshy big knives cut your ribs, are you going to scream and cry?"

The sound of the dark red skeleton was getting closer and closer, and the fear in Lu Yan's heart became more and more intense. This feeling forced him to struggle and exert force constantly. Even the bone of a little finger was broken. Didn't notice.

Although he tried his best, Lu Yan still didn't have time to climb out. Before his two calf bones were pulled out of the ground, a dark red skeleton stood in front of him.

Lu Yan felt that the coldness of death was about to overwhelm him. His thin skeleton was shaking desperately, and his chest skeleton without lungs heaved violently, just like a drowning person trying to suck in his last breath of oxygen.

The dark red skeleton stood in front of Lu Yan without making a move, silently watching Lu Yan's movements with two empty eye sockets.

The climax of fear receded, Lu Yan suddenly woke up, he was not dead yet, he still had a chance!

He once again burst out with an astonishing will to survive, struggling outward with all his strength, and even let out a low growl at the neck bone without vocal cords. At that moment, Lu Yan had already forgotten the existence of the red skull.

"Pfft——" Lu Yan's last foot bone was finally pulled out from the mud. Enduring the severe pain of new life, he stood up tremblingly, looking up at the dark red skeleton in front of him in puzzlement, not understanding why he Will let myself go.

"Boy, you are very lucky. I was listening to the orders of the adults just now, and I didn't have time to 'help' you." The dark red skeleton seemed to understand Lu Yan's thoughts. A dead bone is a good bone, the old adage is true, try to live, ashes!"

After the dark red skeleton finished speaking, he turned around and strode away, once again swearing at the work of pulling seedlings, Lu Yan noticed that not every newborn skeleton was torn apart by this unusual skeleton brother, he would consciously Let it go, it looks like he's destroying the scraps and leaving usable... good bones.

Lu Yan couldn't remember the past at all, and he didn't bother to think about it. Carefully avoiding those violent newborn skeletons, Lu Yan climbed up a small hill a few meters away.

Lu Yan was shocked.

Looking around, the skeleton army on the edge can't see the end at all. No matter which direction you look, there is a sea of ​​white bones. In the distance is a circle of endless silhouettes of mountains. This is a huge valley. A valley filled by a boiling sea of ​​skeletons.

I saw flames and thick smoke rising from the foot of a mountain in the distance, and a large number of skeletons were flocking there.

The word "war" suddenly appeared, and Lu Yan realized that he was caught in a huge war. One side was these countless skeletons, and the other side was what?

"Okay, lazy lads, stand up!" The tall dark red skeleton roared desperately, and at the same time swung a bone sledgehammer that didn't know when it was added, smashing every person who didn't notice him. Talking newborn skeletons.

Lu Yan hurriedly moved his still inflexible leg bones, rolled and crawled down from the slope, and joined the phalanx formed by his companions.

"Very well, it seems that you are not so stupid. It is a bit wronged to be cannon fodder, yes, you heard it right, it is cannon fodder, you are the cannon fodder under Lord Karen Val, so don't treat yourself as a cannon fodder." Characters, when you charge, all you have to remember is not to block the way of other companions, that's all."

Lu Yan heard loud scolding from the side, and it seemed that the dark red skeleton in front of him was not the only one organizing the skeleton formation.

"You are all the lowest-level 'gray bones'. Of course, if you can survive by luck and evolve bone skills by luck, then you may become 'red bones' like me. As for wanting to You can think about it with your tailbone without a fart|hole, but I am very responsible to tell you that this is absolutely impossible... ..."

Gray bones, red bones, and battle bones, Lu Yan memorized the order of these three levels.

The new born are ashes.

The one who can lead about a hundred gray bones is the red bone.

And that lord named Val by the red bone is a higher-level battle bone

"Okay, no matter how much you talk about you stupid brains, you can't remember. Pay attention and charge with me later, hehe, although the result of the charge is basically fatal..." The dark red skull suddenly opened its mouth: "But if If you leave the team, you will soon be trampled into bones by other teams, trampled to death or smashed to death by a fireball? You choose slowly!"

After the dark red skull finished speaking, it began to walk towards the distant mountain. Lu Yan moved forward cautiously among nearly a hundred ashes, while thinking over and over again the strange word that the dark red skull spat out: fireball.

Walking through a large number of ashes that have not yet formed a team, many newborn skeletons were trampled to death by Lu Yan's team. The big red bone brother in the front would wield a bone hammer and smash everyone who dared to stand in his way. Things on the way forward, which made Lu Yan very glad that when he climbed out, he was not trampled by another team.

More and more such complete teams began to appear, and Lu Yan saw more dark red skeletons, each holding a different bone weapon, leading about a hundred or so ashes, advancing in a complete formation. The two teams would not intentionally collide with each other, and the leading red bones would even slightly nod their heads, and restrain their gray bones not to clash with each other.

Lu Yan noticed that the Red Bones didn't choose the team members at random. Some skeletons that looked like animals would be gathered in a team, and their leader, the Red Bones, was also likely to be a non-human skeleton.

The word "person" popped up, and Lu Yan thought it was a very familiar thing, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

If you can't think clearly, don't think about it, Lu Yan can only concentrate on keeping his speed up to Captain Red Bone.

The feet seemed to be rotten soil. Lv Yan had been walking at a trot for nearly half an hour under the leadership of the red bones. The bones on his feet were worn out, and his body was full of severe pain and crackling sounds. , seems to fall apart at any time.

"Can't stop! Can't die!" Lu Yan clenched his upper and lower jaw joints, endured the severe pain and moved his feet forward again and again, firmly following the team.

I don't know how long I ran, and finally there were some sounds in front of me that were different from the sound of cracking bones, terrifying sounds.

"Hiss—boom!" A head-sized fireball flew from a distance and fell not far in front of Lu Yan. There was a violent explosion, and Lu Yan even felt the ground tremble, and immediately there were large pieces of ashes. Being blasted into the sky, the smell of earth and the smell of burnt bones wafted together.

Lu Yan, who was concentrating on walking, raised his head and found that there was thick smoke and flames all around him. It turned out that he had unknowingly arrived at the front line of the battlefield.

"Charge!" The leader, Red Bone, was as excited as if he had been slapped with chicken blood. He swung his bone hammer and rushed towards the direction where the fireball flew out. What made Lu Yan feel terrified was that, except for himself, the whole team rushed forward in an instant. Go up, aren't these skeletons afraid of death?

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, there were no companions around, and he was left standing alone in a small open space.

"Come on!" There was a roar from behind, Lu Yan turned his skull, and saw a strong red bone leading his team to run over like an earthen machine.

"If you stand in front of other teams, you will be crushed. You have to avoid it!" A thought flashed through Lu Yan's mind, but the teams on the left and right sides were also crushed. The submerged oasis is about to be submerged by the sea of ​​bones.

The only way out is ahead!

"Come on!" Lu Yan shouted in his heart, turned around and rushed towards the direction where his red bone captain disappeared.

"Hoo! — Kaka!" The moment Lu Yan turned around, he only felt a blue light flash in front of him, and a small ice arrow almost flew past his face, the sharp and cold arrow wind A wound as thick as a little finger was scratched on the bone of the face, and the severe pain almost caused Lu Yan to faint on the ground.

There was a strange cracking sound and biting cold air from behind. Lu Yan turned his head in surprise and saw that the Red Bone Captain of the team behind him was shot between the eyebrows by the ice arrow, and a ball of ice crystals was rapidly expanding from the ice arrow. In the blink of an eye, it was tens of meters away from the direction of the arrow, freezing the red bone and hundreds of skeletons behind it into ice.

"Frozen Arrow! It's a magician! Charge!" Red Bones shouted one after another, but with one exception, they all accelerated their charge.

The already loud footsteps behind him suddenly intensified. It was as if a series of rolling thunder exploded around Lu Yan's ears. The whole earth shook, and the huge ice cube was shattered, and all the skeletons inside fell apart together with the crushed ice. Even Captain Redbone is no exception.

"Has the red bone been shot to death by an arrow too?" Lu Yan looked at the wet bones on the ground, and stood there in a daze. The lonely figure seemed out of place with the skeleton army running around.

At this moment, a pair of eyes hidden thousands of meters away fell on Lu Yan curiously.
