Otherworldly Skeleton

In order to speed up the charge, the skeleton army instinctively diverted the flow before the pile of ice and bones, so Lu Yan, who was standing in a daze, was not immediately crushed into pieces, but as the ice melted, more and more skeleton squads rolled over , the boundaries of Lu Yan's temporary umbrella gradually became blurred.

In the dense forest on the mountainside to the north of the valley, a pair of eyes stared at Lu Yan for a long time.

"Aisie, what are you seeing?" The blue-haired Howard turned his gaze back from the valley full of white skeletons, and found that his shooter partner had been staring at a certain position in the skeleton army for a long time. He couldn't help asking a little nervously.

"Here, I'm looking at a little skeleton. He seems to be very scared." Aixi was lying on the ground in the low bushes, with a pair of shining eyes aiming at Lu Yan from among the thorns.

"Eagle Eye!" Howard cast a spell on himself in a low voice, and fine purple lines climbed up the corners of his eyes. It took him half a day to follow the direction Ai Xi was facing, before he saw Lu from the vast bones. Yan, after observing for a while, he pouted his mouth: "Ai Xi, he is just a stupid ashes, why are you interested in him?"

"Hey, Howard, have you ever heard a saying?" Aixi heard the disdain in Howard's tone, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lu Yan who was looking around in horror: "Afraid A dead bone is a good bone."

"It's okay to be afraid of death, bah!" A third voice sounded from the side, although it could be heard that the master had lowered his voice as much as possible, but the voice was still quite loud: "It's all because of the cowardice of those bones. Looking for an excuse!"

"Rick, keep your voice down, this time you have to deal with two strong bones!" Howard said hastily and exasperatedly.

Rick grumbled, but said nothing.

"Hmph, battle bones and strong bones have wisdom, so of course they will be afraid of death." The murderous look in Aixi's eyes is getting stronger: "But this is the first time I have seen a gray bone that is afraid of death. Qianggu, I will definitely kill this little thing first."

A huge lizard-shaped red bone led the team onto the crushed ice. Its team was full of huge gray bones. Its weight of hundreds of kilograms crushed the broken bones and ice together, and stepped deeply into the soil. Here, Lu Yan's "protective umbrella" was completely destroyed in a blink of an eye.

Lu Yan woke up, turned around and fled to the front line of the battlefield, but the sound of rumbling footsteps behind him was getting closer, and the vibration from the ground almost lifted him from the ground. He even heard the lizard-shaped red bone behind him. A low exhalation sound.

Fortunately, the terrifying ice arrows did not stop, and Lu Yan soon discovered that there was a large pile of broken bones mixed with huge ice blocks not far ahead. He tried his best, almost rolling and crawling He rushed into the pile of broken bones, and the lizard-shaped red bones following him diverted in front of the new pile of broken bones. They didn't want to slow down the team's charge speed again.

Lu Yan fell into the pile of broken bones, his mouth was wide open, and his chest rose and fell violently, like a human being desperately panting for breath, but it was a pity that he did not have a chest cavity, and his heaving chest couldn't even make a little wind noise.

There was severe pain in his right arm. Lu Yan looked down and saw that the front bone of his right hand was broken. It was just when he fell into the pile of broken bones and hit the broken ice.

"Ka Ka Ka..." The surrounding skeletons kept bumping against the edge of the pile of broken bones. Lu Yan had no time to carefully examine the injuries. He stood up with great pain, and walked forward on the jagged bones. Go, there are burning broken bones and hard ice all around, black smoke accompanied by the stench of scorched bones permeates the air, Lu Yan has already entered the front line of the battlefield.

The left, right and rear are marginal skeleton squads. They rush up like waves one after another, and there is definitely no way out if they turn back.

Ahead, about 800 meters away, there is a low stone wall, on which there are people standing, holding shining torches, holding hideous weapons, and under the stone wall, several skeletons are piled up into a mountain, and there are even more The ashes that had just rushed under the stone wall were climbing up one by one, and when they finally climbed to the top of the stone wall, the guards grinning under the torches would smash them to pieces with sledgehammers or iron bars Ash body.

Ash bones are vulnerable to unprofessional guards. In fact, the skeletons are as fragile as puffed biscuits. They will fall apart with a light tap. Their function is to make the guards They swing their weapons one more time, waste a little more power, and that's all.

Red bones are much more useful than gray bones. They can block the weapons of the defenders, and they can also attack against walls. Some huge red bones can even pose a big enough threat to the defenders, but whenever they are about to When they have the upper hand, some fireballs or ice arrows will fly out from somewhere and knock them down from the top of the city. The magician hidden on the stone wall is far stronger than the red bone.

It turned out that they were human beings. It seemed that they were very powerful, at least much stronger than the red bones. While watching the battle on the stone wall in horror, Lu Yan was oppressed by other skeletons to move towards the stone wall. The despair in my heart was getting deeper and deeper, and none of the skeletons who walked under the stone wall survived.

About 5000 meters behind Lu Yan, there are two skeletons wearing red cloaks standing on a raised hill, looking at the army of millions of skeletons in the valley with a slightly smug expression.

"August, the resistance of this small village is very strong. It seems that your information is very accurate." The talking skeleton was less than 1.5 meters tall and looked like a child's skeleton, but his complete red cloak marked In addition to his identity, the "Strong Bone" is one level higher than the Battle Bone, and none of the countless skeletons standing around dared to express the slightest disrespect to him.

Another skeleton wearing a red cloak is more than two meters tall, with two complete white horns on his head. He said in a slightly honest voice: "Carol, don't be careless. I think there are only some magic apprentices in the village. This kind of strength is not enough to protect the dark crystal."

The short and strong bone Carol chattered and said with a strange smile: "August, I will be careful if you don't tell me. Since you and I have upgraded to the strong bone, we have naturally become prey in the eyes of the mercenaries. I will not casually shot."

"Launch a wave of fierce attack, and I will send fifty war bones to charge." August looked at the stone wall thousands of meters away with an expression on his face, and there was a faint red light flickering in the skeleton hidden in the red windbreaker.

"Okay, I have to go back to the camp before dawn, and I'll dispatch fifty war bones!" Carol responded immediately, with a faint red light shining in the hollow skull.

August and Carol are strong bones, and each of them controls nearly a hundred war bones, and the battle bones can generally lead a hundred red bones, and the red bones can lead a hundred gray bones, so a strong bone There are actually nearly a million ashes under his rule.

After August and Carroll's orders were conveyed, a hundred war bones and one million ashes led by them launched a swift charge towards the small village in the valley.

Caught between the million ashes and the stone wall, Lu Yan faced the greatest test of death.

"Huh—" As if the sound of a gust of wind, Lu Yan found that the skeleton army behind him had almost lost its formation, and they had been closely connected since no one knew when, like a real wave of bones. When he came over, Lu Yan even saw a red bone accidentally stepped on the ground, and it was crushed to pieces in a blink of an eye.

crazy!

Lu Yan turned around and ran, desperately running down the stone wall. At this time, he could no longer expect a pile of crushed ice and bones to block anything. The bones went crazy for some reason. The stone wall hit, maybe they were going to hit the stone wall, even if they hit the stone wall first, they were smashed to pieces.

Lu Yan ran towards the stone wall in despair, fireballs and ice arrows flew past him constantly, but he only felt the bone waves behind him getting closer, and there was no intention of stopping at all.

The humans on the stone wall also showed terrified expressions. They had always thought that the fragile ashes were just child's play, and they all opened their mouths wide, staring at the sea of ​​white bones rolling in the distance. They were nothing more than ordinary militiamen or even They are farmers, where have they really seen the strength of the bones? A smell of urine permeates the stone wall, and many people pee their pants in fright.

In addition to the militiamen, Stonewall also has more than [-] magic apprentices. Panic gradually appeared on their faces, who had always been the main defensive force. The magic chant kept making mistakes, and the number of fireballs and ice arrows thrown became less and less. .

The skeletons who arrived earlier took advantage of this time to climb up the stone wall. The red bone waved the bony weapon in his hand and slashed at the militiamen. Several militiamen were hacked to death in shock, and more skeletons climbed up the stone wall. , before the bone wave arrived, the stone wall was about to fall.

Lu Yan suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. If he rushed into the stone wall before being crushed by the bone waves behind him, would he be able to escape death?

The two slender leg bones swung desperately, and the hope made Lu Yan accelerate again. He was less than 50 meters away from the stone wall.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gold silk-trimmed robe stepped onto the stone wall. There were no steps where he came up, and no one noticed how he climbed directly onto the stone wall over a height of several meters. The middle-aged man didn't chant after he came up, but just flicked his hand casually, a series of fist-sized fireballs flew out from his cuff, smashing the red bones and other skeletons climbing up the stone wall in an instant.

"Teacher!" More than [-] magic apprentices saluted the middle-aged man one after another. They felt ashamed that they would never need the teacher's action.

"This is the bone wave of the skeletons. It is a relatively low-level siege method." The middle-aged man looked indifferent. He pointed to the approaching bone wave and said, "To deal with it, you usually need to cast a combined chanting spell."

The magic apprentices looked at each other in blank dismay. They were still apprentices, and no one would sing together.

The middle-aged man smiled, and he took out a delicate scroll from his arms, and pulled out a piece of parchment from it: "If you can't cast joint chant, you need to use a spell scroll, such as this one" "Fire Wall" is the best spell scroll to deal with the wave of ashes."

All the magic apprentices had joyful smiles on their faces.

The middle-aged man spread out the parchment and began to chant the most commonly used magic infusion spell. With the infusion of magic power, three crimson ripples lit up on the parchment. The middle-aged man turned the spell, and the The infusion of magic power turned into spell positioning, and three ripples flew out, falling in the valley to form three walls of flames five meters high and hundreds of meters in length and width, while the original parchment turned into a piece of blue ash and disappeared with the wind.

The wall of fire just landed not far behind Lu Yan, he turned his head in the suffocating heat wave, and saw in horror that the white bone wave collapsed in a crimson, charge again, collapse again!

The ashes and red bones rushed towards the huge burning wall of fire without hesitation, and their strange skulls let out tragic roars. This roar was accompanied by anger, unwillingness, and wailing. These sounds converged into strange music and echoed in the valley. In the sky, and the bones of the number turned into a pile of dust under this kind of music.

"It's a scroll. There are no qualified magicians who need to use expensive scrolls. The human who uses the scroll should only be an apprentice magician!" Strong Bone Carroll said excitedly.

Strong Bones August nodded, and his mood became hot. Is the dark crystal that is said to be able to instantly improve the bones coming soon?

The middle-aged man on the fence looked at the skeletons rushing towards the fire wall one after another, and muttered to himself: "I am escorting something, why did it attract the attention of the skeletons, aren't these evil creatures only interested in things like dark crystals?" ?” His left hand, hidden in his clothes, unconsciously pressed a bulging pocket on his abdomen, and there was a soft touch inside.

In the village behind the fence, the nervous villagers couldn't sleep, and gathered together in fear to guess the outcome of this unexpected battle. There was a dirty old man with a white beard sitting in the dark, tasting the food alone. Jiu, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The little guy is really too nervous. A wave of gray bones of this level uses scrolls. Doesn't it mean to tell those two idiots to strengthen their bones, and the village is not strong enough?"

In the dense forest of mountains far away from the valley, Howard wondered: "Why is there still a trainee magician in this small valley with this name?"

"It's an unexpected coincidence." Aixi shook her head with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the rumors we casually spread to be true. Although this trainee magician is very helpful for us to hunt Qiangu, we can treat him as a gift." Damn it, let’s leave as soon as possible after killing the two strong bones, and we must not let him know that we attracted the skeletons.”

"Isn't there really a dark crystal on this trainee magician?" Howard widened his beautiful blue eyes, making a natural guess.

Ai Xi rolled his eyes at him: "The dark crystal is at least something that only qualified magicians are able to protect, and if the Magician Association, which has always been safe, really wants to transport the dark crystal, it will definitely send a great magician."

Howard didn't care about Essie's white eyes. He nodded thoughtfully: "Then what other top-secret tasks does this trainee magician have?"

"What top-secret tasks can trainee magicians have?" Based on his familiarity with the Magicians Association, Aixi judged angrily: "Have you seen the group of magic apprentices? He just took the students to practice in the field."

Aixi, who was hailed as the poisonous eye hunter by later generations, didn't know that his judgment was wrong, and it was very wrong.

After destroying 20 skeletons, two of the three walls of fire were stunned, so the middle-aged man on the stone wall used another scroll to re-build three insurmountable walls of fire in the sea of ​​bones , so back and forth, it took a total of five scrolls to completely suppress the fierce attack of the skeleton.

There was a piece of scorched earth behind Lu Yan, and another skeleton survived on the stone wall in front of him. Only his tiny ashes were left trembling on the huge battlefield.
