Otherworldly Skeleton

Qiaotou Town, at dusk.

Qiaotou Town is a xo town in the south of Rebirth Castle, because there is a girder built across the river beside the town, it is also very shallow, the shallowest place is less than five meters.

Qiaotou Town is considered a large town on the Stone Man Plateau. There are more than 300 Stone Man people in this town, and the number of travelers usually reaches thousands.

Prosperity stems from the wide road between Qiaotou Town and Rebirth Fort. Generally, businessmen from the grasslands and the Orchid Empire regard Qiaotou Town as the last stop before entering Rebirth Fort. They rest here, organize their goods, or agree to meet in this town. .

And Lu Yan and the three war bones are waiting for people in Qiaotou Town at the moment. Of course, they can't go in the town to wait, but they are more than 600 meters southwest of Qiaotou Town. There are really two empty rooms as Caton said. The stone house, this stone house is where Lu Yan and Caton agreed to meet.

Lu Yan's plan to infiltrate Rebirth Fort was to first attack some villages of the stone barbarians, to see if he could find out about the stone barbarians' movements, or attract the stone barbarians' encirclement and suppression army, but both goals failed, and the stone barbarians did not send troops to support the surrounding area village, and the villagers don't know what to ask.

So they had to sneak into Rebirth Fort. Carton said that they would come to this stone house in early April, and then they would pretend to be skeleton labor dealers and send Lu Yan and the others into Rebirth Fort.

Today is April [-]th, which happens to be the last day of April. Lu Yan hid in the stone house with three subordinates.

"My lord, may I ask you a question?" Levin, who was leaning against the corner, looked at Lu Yan in his spare time.

It was rare that this lazy subordinate was interested in asking questions, so Lu Yanpantu sat down on the dusty slate floor: "Speak."

"Levin zero one, zero two... Anyway, those six guys, do you really want me to command them?" Levin asked with his head tilted, and Andelina and Michael Leger also looked at Lu with interest Yan, they also feel very confused about their new captain duties.

Lu Yan smiled: "That's right, all the names starting with Levin are under your command."

"What if I die in battle?"

"Then your team members will be renamed and led by a new captain."

Levin sighed: "It's not a name, it's just a code name, sir, haven't you deprived them of the right to get their own names."

Mike Leger immediately quit, staring at Levin: "How dare you question your lord!"

Lu Yan stopped Michael Lejie's impulse, and said to Levin: "Yes, I did deprive the names of the battle bones. After you become strong bones, a large part of your strong bones companions will only have code names, but no real names."

"Although I don't understand." Levin looked at the smiling Lu Yan: "But I feel that what the adults are doing is reasonable, and I will resolutely carry out the orders of the adults. I will take care of those xo Levin."

Hearing this, McLeod's expression eased, but he still glared at Levin, thinking that he was not respectful enough to speak with adults.

Lu Yan looked at the three battle bones: "Denaming is a big strategy, but there are exceptions. If one of your team members really has special talents, I will also give him a real name, and it is possible for him to form a new team." In short, I am also exploring this special management method, if you have any good suggestions, you can also tell me."

How to manage the battle bones?There seems to be no such precedent on the Skull Continent. His boss is really unique. The three war bones nodded slightly in surprise.

Lu Yan suddenly said again: "Levin, you asked me a question, and now I want to ask you a question too."

"Please tell me, my lord." Levin quickly cheered up to deal with it.

Lu Yan looked at Levin's body with interest: "I've always been curious about how you made those traps other than the crossbow tower. It seems that you can make bones out of thin air without a soul gap."

"Oh, this." Levin smiled faintly, put his hands in front of his body, picked his right finger bone in the palm of his left hand, and a few drops of black viscous liquid flowed out from one of the metacarpal bones.

As soon as the droplet fell out, it began to swell. Levin's hands immediately leaned on it, and his five finger bones deftly pinched between the black objects that were getting bigger and bigger.After a while, the black object formed by the expansion of the liquid stopped growing, and was shaped by Levin into a human-shaped skull sculpture that threw a gun with one hand. Although the sculpture was only as long as the arm bone of xo, it was lifelike, especially the triangular cone blade at the tip of the white bee All portrayed to perfection.

"Amazing!" McLeod could not help but praise.Andelina also looked at it with a smile on her face.

Levin put the sculpture in front of Lu Yan, and explained slowly: "My lord, this is the 'building' technique among the six real bone techniques. The 'bone water puree' I carry in my body is taken from the inside of the soul gap. Like the soul-inducing water, it is also a product of the soul gap, but it will not attract rotting souls, but will produce bone objects of indeterminate shape. The art of construction is to learn how to make full use of the short time that the bone water puree hardens , shaping it into a variety of usable items, even large instruments."

It was only then that Lu Yan understood the principle of the art of "architecture". It turned out that the focus was on the performer's speed, dexterity, and accuracy, as well as the grasp of the structure of the constructed object. To build complex bone instruments in such a short period of time, there is no Long-term training and a little bit of xo talent are really hard things.

Lu Yan looked at the exquisite bone carving with a gun, and said with a smile: "Levin, you seem to be very talented in architecture."

"It can only be said that it is the result of exercise. It may be because it is similar to my bone skills, so I like to tinker with these things."

"You take the lead and form a dedicated battlefield construction team. Do you have the confidence to do well?"

Levin said in his heart that his ambition is not xo, his strong bones are all specialized in a certain type of arms, Lu Yan is indeed involved in everything from offense to defense, and now he has to prepare a construction team for attacking and defending the city.However, it is precisely such an enterprising and far-sighted high-ranking skeleton who should be followed. A smile floated on Levin's face: "My lord, of course I have..."

"Xo Xin!" Lu Yan suddenly lay down, and with a bang, a double-headed chain hammer commonly used by stone barbarians flew in, and the wooden door of the stone house was smashed, and the surrounding gravel splashed.

The hooves of cows sounded outside the house, and the stone barbarians' strange roars sounded one after another.

"It's not Caton, we were discovered." Lu Yan quickly saw the situation outside.

"I'll stop them, my lord, let's go!" McLeger raised his hand to the back of his neck bone and wanted to go out with a knife and desperately.

Lu Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Don't act rashly, they have bantam bulls, and there are so many of them, we can't run away, now we have to do what we can and let them catch them in Qiaotou Town."

"My lord, what should I do if Caton is here?" Anderina reminded at the right time. Lu Yan looked around, and finally picked up the bone carving made by Levin, pressed it into an inconspicuous corner of the wall, and shot Jian was facing the direction of Qiaotou Town. After doing all this, he and the three war bones walked out of the stone house while shouting surrender.

The group of stone barbarians who attacked the stone house were the temporary guards of Qiaotou Town. There were 18 people in total. They rode in groups of two on the backs of two-meter-high and four-meter-long bantam bulls. Due to the normal guards, they were all transferred to Rebirth Castle. , so they are all just ordinary stone barbarian civilians staying in the bridgehead, and there are still 15 old women and 3 old men.

"It's a black skeleton!"

"There are four in total, and there is no flame in the body!"

"Not in rags and rotten iron!"

The stone barbarians immediately screamed in horror when they saw Lu Yan coming out, but they still knew a little about skeletons. After seeing that although Lu Yan and the others had black skeletons, they didn't have bone souls, nor did they have the logo of army skeletons. , the mood gradually stabilized, and nine xo mountain-like short-legged mad cows began to circle around Lu Yan, and the stone barbarians on their backs excitedly waved heavy stone hammers.

"Sure enough, there are skeletons hiding here, Kudo, you are so smart, no wonder my man can't forget you." A stone barbarian with yellow hair sitting on the back of a bull laughed loudly. There is no gender at all on the face.

On the back of another bull, a stronger stone lump covered his mouth and laughed: "Hey, sister Mawo is so fond of telling jokes, brother Guda seldom came to see me after he was with you. "

Lu Yan heard it funny, these stone barbarians are different from human beings, their marriage relationship is completely messed up, the closer they are to the Fort of Rebirth, the more this is the case, and it is said that inside the Fort of Rebirth, there are still some stone barbarians who even deliberately go out of their way to obtain special descendants of blood Inbreeding, but this kind of behavior is not allowed. Once discovered, it may be executed on the spot!

Anyway, Lu Yan's prediction was very accurate. After the voluntary surrender, these temporary guards in Qiaotou Town did not kill them, because a black humanoid skeleton with flexible hands and feet can be sold for 3 silver coins, which is good for people who are not good at farming and breeding. For the stone barbarians, it was a great fortune, especially when the guest patrols were all old women, the value of the three silver coins was immediately reflected perfectly.

They tied Lu Yan and the other four skeletons to death with fist-thick hemp ropes, and these stone barbarians happily dragged Lu Yan and the others back to Qiaotou Town.

In Qiaotou Town, Lu Yan found that the stone barbarians were used to seeing skeletons for a long time, and the pedestrians who passed by didn't take a second look at the four human-shaped skeletons. It seems that the rumors about the stone barbarians like to catch skeletons are not false of.

In the end, Lu Yan was taken to a lutianxo square surrounded by stones at the east end of the town. In the middle of the square was a circle surrounded by iron chains. The stone barbarian was drinking from a barrel while watching over the skeletons.

"Hey, Delu, see what we caught?" The female stone barbarian named Ma Wo happily brought Lu Yan and the others to the edge of the wooden platform.

One of the drinking stone barbarians looked over with disdain on his face: "A few bones are worthless."

"Lun said that the guests in Qiaotou Town love to watch human bones fight, and they are worth more than those dog bones." Ku Duo quickly argued behind Ma Wo.

Mawo turned his head and glanced at Kudo appreciatively, and then shouted to Drew confidently: "Dru, if you don't buy it, I'll sell it to Laxi and the others. You know, sending human bones into the castle is also very popular." welcome."

Delu waved his hand: "Okay, okay, three silver coins each."

"No, there are no red spots on these people's bones, five silver coins!" Kudo once again used her brain.

Delu put the wine barrel on the ground, stared at Mawo and Kudo angrily, and finally took out 16 silver coins from the dirty leather bag at his waist: "Four silver coins, if you don't sell them, you will take them away .”

Ma Wo took the hemp rope tied with Lu Yan to Delu's hand, and took the silver coin with a smile: "Hey, when let them start fighting, let's take a look."

"It will start after dark." The anger on Drew's face immediately disappeared after taking the hemp rope, and replaced with a sly smile: "There are a lot of guests in the town these two days, so let them perform well."
