Otherworldly Skeleton

Qingdie is a common butterfly on the Skull Continent. It is famous for its two sharp triangular wings, but I don’t know which lng romantic skeleton gave it the graceful name of Qingdie, and it is still miraculously passed down to this day.

Since Qingdie Lake is so named, it can be imagined that the edge of this lake must be as sharp as a knife, and the outline should be two symmetrical triangles, but the Qingdie Lake that Lu Yan saw was not like this. The surface of the lake is covered with protruding broken bones. It doesn't look like a lake, but a swamp, but what grows in this swamp is not weeds, but jagged broken bones.

After a little guessing, Lu Yan understood the truth of this. After the skeleton army fought, the remaining broken bones filled Qingdie Lake, squeezed out the lake water, and flooded the surrounding land, so it was formed. After leaving this muddy swamp that could not see the edge, Lu Yan secretly sighed in his heart, wondering how deep and big Qingdie Lake was, and how many skeleton corpses that could no longer be seen were buried in it.

"Let's go, let's go! Pull the chain after two xo hours, be careful, don't fucking miss it and get stuck in the pile of bones." Rogue skeleton roared from behind, Lu Yan withdrew his thoughts, and followed the people in front of him Battle Bone, Rui Sien and Andelina followed closely behind them, and behind them was a long chain of skeletons chained, all pulling the chains like they were walking in Qingdie Lake.

Rui Sien's broken tutu was cured by the soul-inducing water given by the rogues, because at the bottom of the lake where the bones were piled up, the skeletons with a larger size had more advantages. In the process of salvaging the bone soul, this experience It has been well verified, so Kamenglie personally ordered to repair Rui Sien's broken body.

On both sides of Lu Yan's chain, there are three chains side by side wearing skeletons stretching into the sea. These four chains form a group, and the ends of the chains are tied to a huge hinge plate. They go into the water two xo After a while, the hinge will be pulled up, and the skeletons that have been collected will be healed, those that have not been collected will continue to be thrown back, and those that have lost their ability to move will be directly knocked to death.The way the rogues force the coolies to work is simple but effective.

Lu Yan walked about 50 meters on the muddy road, when suddenly his feet were empty, and he stepped into a deep hole. He was carried by the weight of the iron chain, and he sank to the bottom of the water.

The place where the water entered was the real lakeside of Qingdie Lake. Lu Yan fell about three meters, and the soles of his feet were blocked by piles of floating bones. Although it was night, the strange thing was that the lake was not dark, and the light did not come from the top of his head. The torch came from the depths of the bone fragments under the feet, and a faint halo faintly came out from the depths of the bone fragments, embellishing this grotesque cemetery at the bottom of the lake even more eerie and terrifying.

Most of the skeletons hug each other, your claws pierced my chest, my teeth kissed your neck bone, and some skeletons were superimposed and compressed together, your skull was attached to my skeleton, or My bone skills are embedded in your body, it looks like a still picture, but the killing intent in this picture is no less than that of a real battlefield.

The skeletons in front were still digging deep, so Lu Yan naturally could only follow them to the depths of the bone pile. In the seemingly dead bone pile, several pieces had actually been dug out. The narrow passage was dug by the skeletons who came down in front, because many skeletons were sent down more than once to collect bone souls, so they would dig a little down the passage every time they came down, leaving a deep hole for the next collection. room for.

Although the light of the bone soul made the bottom of the lake light up faintly with fluorescence, it was very difficult to find a bone soul. Those bone souls were hidden deep in layers of broken bones, and they could only be seen coming out. light, but it is difficult to find their specific location.

As time passed, only a few skeletons in the group of iron chains where Lu Yan was located were lucky enough to find bone souls, while most of the skeletons were still empty, with anxious expressions on their faces.The other three groups of skeletons drilled down in parallel less than five meters away, their voices could be heard, and their shadows could be seen from the cracks in the broken bones.

"Rui Sien, this gang of rogues looks very professional." Lu Yanxin collected bone souls, so he dived with the chains and chatted with Rui Sien in soul words.

"Yes, my lord." Rui Sien also agreed with Lu Yan's opinion: "Their slaves who placed the hinges are all veterans, and this group of rogues seems to be soul stealers who specialize in digging up bone souls for sale."

"Soul-stealing rogues... There are different types of rogues?" Lu Yan was obsessed with tactics and spear skills, and was always lacking in some common sense.

"Plundering, stealing souls, discrepancy, and deceit." Rui Sien replied: "Generally speaking, except for the xomo thieves who are not good enough, hun's good rogues must be these four types. Plundering villages and towns, vendors and skeletons performing tasks make a living; soul-stealing bandits are the kind we encountered; In the army, large sums of money are obtained by deceit."

"You know a lot." Lu Yan asked, "Among these four kinds of rogues, which one is the best?"

"This can't be generalized, they each have their own characteristics." Rui Sien replied with a sigh of relief: "The looting bandits are the most powerful, the soul-stealing bandits are the most comfortable, the rogue bandits are the largest in scale, and the treacherous bandits are generally the most powerful." money."

"I didn't expect the swindlers to be the richest, why?" Lu Yan asked after hearing the novelty.

Rui Sien said with a smile: "The reason why the swindlers are the richest is because they are small in number, and sometimes there are only a few strong bones to form a gang, so after the swindled bone cards are divided equally, the income of each skeleton is quite amazing .”

"Oh, so that's the case." Lu Yan nodded along the waves of the lake, and then asked: "How about the financial resources of the soul-thieves?"

"My lord, if you ask every individual soul thief, they are almost the same as those large manufacturers, and the individual members who work on the business don't have too many bone cards, but" Rui Sien changed the subject: "The organizer, also That is, the leader of the soul-thieves should be very rich, especially such a professional and large-scale soul-thief, and Sanchakou Town buys bone souls at a high price. The bone cards they hoard in their hands must be amazing .”

"Oh...that is to say, as long as we..." A smile appeared on Lu Yan's face, as long as the leader of the soul-stealing bandits can be dealt with, then the task of raising bone cards can be easily completed... Lu Yan just thought of this , suddenly felt a huge pulling force from the chains tied to the spine.

Looking down, Lu Yan found that the skeleton below him was fighting with another group of skeletons on the chain. At the same time, the two groups of skeletons found a corpse full of bone souls. It seemed that some unlucky person in front After the coolie skeleton got the bone soul, its bones were torn off by the chains, and it died deep in the bottom of the lake.So several stronger guys from each group of skeletons pounced on the corpse at the same time, fighting for the bone soul, and finally fought.

The beating didn't matter, the two iron cables were twisted together, Lu Yan and two of his men were pulled and slammed into the pile of broken bones on the side of the passage, and after being dizzy and penetrating through the pile of broken bones, they and another A group of coolie skeletons on chains bumped into each other, and there was a sudden panic.

At this time, Lu Yan had penetrated nearly 20 meters into the lake, and around the channel were broken bones piled up to the surface of the lake. Although the lake water relieved the pressure on these broken bones, the huge amount added up was terrifying. Two sets of chains hinged, The broken bones collapsed immediately, burying the two passages, and also buried Lu Yan and other skeletons in the passage.

After the mud and bone powder slowly settled, Lu Yan saw the surrounding situation clearly. Together with Rui Sien and Andelina, a dozen or so battle bones were buried in a closed space, surrounded by densely packed As far as the broken bones on the way out, the two chains are still twisted together, so there are another group of seven or eight soldiers who are locked here together with him.

Looking up, Lu Yan saw the reason for the formation of this space. It turned out that there was a battle bone above his head that opened an irregular bone shield two meters long and wide, and sent the falling broken bones to the sides, which made this space The skeletons in the space were not buried alive by broken bones. Lu Yan was surprised to find that the skeleton with the bone shield opened was a humanoid skeleton.

"This brother's bone skills are very strong." After the collapse of the broken bones gradually calmed down, and the broken bones on both sides squeezed each other to form a new balance, Lu Yan asked the humanoid battle bone holding the shield with great interest. close to.

Although he was a little surprised at Lu Yan's calmness in the desperate situation, the shield-wielding warrior still showed a cold expression, especially when he glanced heavily at Rui Sien, the disdain on his face was obvious.

Oh, you still look down on us.Lu Yan couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, this shield-wielding warrior was very arrogant.When he looked at Rui Sien, he also saw the embarrassment on his face, being looked down upon by a skeleton of the same size, even if he was as smart as Rui Sien, he felt sincerely ashamed.

Since he was arrogant, Lu Yan also withdrew his interest, and temporarily ignored the shield-wielding warrior, but considered the next plan.

The chains on the top of the head are still being lowered, which means that the rogues on the shore may not know about the changes at the bottom of the lake, or they may be accustomed to knowing about it and ignore it at all.The battle bones started to argue fiercely. Most of the war bones advocated climbing back to the shore and waiting for the next excavation, while a small number of war bones hesitated and believed that they should continue to dive and continue digging.

"Want to climb back, do you want to seek death by yourself?" Lu Yan's quiet voice buzzed into the skulls of the war bones through the lake, cold and full of majesty. He has a natural binding force, so when he spoke, the bones of the battle immediately instinctively felt fear and stopped their quarrel. Even the proud bone with the shield showed a trace of surprise and murmur on his face.

"We are all injured, and the process of climbing up is also very dangerous. It is inevitable that the injury will not be aggravated." Lu Yan fixed himself with a chain and looked around at all the bones: "We were seriously injured and went ashore early in violation of orders. What do you think? What will the bandit do?"

"Crush us..." All the warriors replied in a murmur, with expressions of surprise on their faces, but the surprise on the face of the warrior holding the shield grew stronger, because he suddenly discovered that Lu Yan There was no injury at all.

"Going up is a dead end, but going down is a way to live." Lu Yan pointed down: "The guys below are all silent, they are dead, but those bone souls will not disappear. We collect the bone souls, and then they will be killed." When pulling back, no matter how seriously injured you are, you will still be healed by the soul-inducing water, this is the real way to survive!"

Lu Yan's words were like enlightenment, and joy immediately appeared on the faces of the warriors.
