Otherworldly Skeleton

After walking for another two days, the team gradually grew stronger. It looked like a long black dragon with no head visible on both sides. There were constantly fallen skeletons on both sides of the road due to bone aging, but there would also be many aliens. Those who joined the worshiping army, Lu Yan saw some strong bones and skeletons sitting on bone sedan chairs and horses. It seems that worship is not just a hobby of wandering skeletons.

After six days of trekking, Lu Yan finally saw a small town, Linyuan Town.

To be precise, Lu Yan is not considered to have entered the town, he can only rest temporarily on the wasteland 500 meters away from the town, and make the final preparations for entering the Gale Abyss, and the venues in Linyuan Town are occupied by various skeleton merchants , In addition, there are some strong bones, even strong bones, who are also eligible to settle in Linyuan Town.

Lu Yan focused on keeping a low profile, so he naturally waited in the field with peace of mind. His four subordinates were all stable guys, and they didn't have any opinions.

"Hey, how can these guys who occupy Linyuan Town with such an attitude get real mercy from the saints?" a wandering skeleton complained.

Another said: "Don't worry, they will definitely die if they go on like this, and they won't be proud for a few days."

The skeleton who was the first to speak was also proud: "Who says it's not, stupid traders, who think they can enter the Gale Abyss with a little money, but they don't know that they are just going in to rush to die."

"Dang, clang, clang!" The gong suddenly rang at the gate of Linyuan Town, and a skeleton shouted loudly: "My lord is recruiting strong guards, two hundred bone cards will escort you back and forth, and we will leave in half an hour. Those who are interested Sign up now!"

"My lord offers [-] bone cards, and only accepts tiger and pictographic bones!" Another skeleton immediately shouted.

"My lord pays two hundred and five, he will enter the lower abyss, and all guards can accompany him!"

Calls to recruit coolie guards kept coming and going, and it was not safe in Gale Abyss, so the skeleton vendors who did not have a loyal team had to temporarily recruit thugs.

Lu Yan and Rui Sien discussed it and thought it was a good opportunity. They got up and squeezed towards Linyuan Town, hoping to find a rich skeleton to follow and sneak into the crack soul gap as soon as possible.

But who knows, Lu Yan has been loitering outside Linyuan Town for a long time, and no one is willing to hire them, because humanoid skeletons wandering in the wild are generally waste, especially in the eyes of traders who have not experienced war. The disguise was so successful that none of the guys in charge of recruiting the goons liked him.

Lu Yan and Rui Sien looked at each other with wry smiles, and were hesitating whether to show their hands to win a position as a thug, when suddenly a deer-shaped war bone came in front of them.

The head of the deer-shaped battle bone is more than four meters above the ground, and the bone horns are curled, a bit like the skeleton of a cape-horn sheep. Levin thought that he had followed Lu Yan to hunt this kind of cape-horn sheep before, and a lazy smile floated on his face .

The deer-shaped war bone looked at Lu Yan coldly: "Are you looking for something to do?"

Rui Sien was afraid of Lu Yan's embarrassment, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, my lord, our five brothers want to find a job as a guard."

The deer-shaped war bones glanced at the five human-shaped skeletons in a disdainful manner, and sneered after a long time: "What can scumbags do, you are simply wasting your time here."

Hey, is this guy here to tease me?The palm of Lu Yan's palm flashed with white light, and he thought that since there was a guy who didn't know how to live or die, he just happened to shock the scene with him.Rui Sien knew Lu Yan's temper, and quickly laughed loudly: "Haha, if you don't mind, you can hire us as escorts, and the price is easy to negotiate."

Rui Sien is so smart, he immediately understood that the deer-shaped war bone was not a joke, but wanted to lower the price. From this point of view, this deer-shaped war bone is probably just a small vendor, but this is just right, following a small vendor is inconspicuous , so Rui Sien quickly stopped Lu Yan's anger.

Lu Yan understood Rui Sien's meaning, snorted coldly, and pushed the white bee back.

"What price can a few scumbags pay? I want to enter the lower abyss, and you can accompany me as my guards." Lu Xingzhan glanced at Lu Yan and Andelina, who were slightly murderous, and said fiercely: "But don't even want a bone card."

This poor man wants to recruit some free thugs, Rui Sien showed embarrassment and said: "My lord, we haven't touched soul water for a long time, and we are just waiting to earn some bone cards to change our lives. How much do you give?" remuneration……"

"Okay, up to 30 bone cards, otherwise I'll go find other skeletons." The deer-shaped battle bone stepped down a step at the right time.

"Add another 10 bone cards, and we will protect you to the death."

"Up to 35 bone cards, and you can only get the money after returning to Linyuan Town with me."

"Okay, my lord, we will be your subordinates from now on."

The price was quickly negotiated, and a smile appeared on the face of the deer-shaped war bone, "Okay, everyone worships together, it's not easy, you should work hard later, I, Mohande, will not treat you badly." After finishing, he wobbled and turned around and walked towards the town. His movements were very fast, as if he was dodging the sneering gazes from both sides.

Naturally, the five skeletons including Lu Yan would not care about the contemptuous gazes around them. They followed the deer-shaped war bone Mohand into the town. The town is not big, but there is an 800-meter-long soul gap in the middle. There are simple stone houses built on the sides. These houses look simple, but the rent is very high. Only richer skeletons can afford to live in them. Almost every stone house is surrounded by fierce attacking war bones.

Lu Yan followed Mohand almost across the entire town, and finally stopped in an open field. The open field was also full of skeletons standing or squatting, which looked not much better than those wandering skeletons in the suburbs. Mohand went straight Walked into the group of skeletons, and finally stopped in front of a small circle.

There are fifteen skeletons in total, all of which are deer-shaped skeletons. There are ten war bones with dark red spots, and five trembling red bones. Mohand walked among the skeletons and said to everyone: " Hehe, I have found five guards, everyone can rest assured."

The deer skeletons turned their heads excitedly, and when they saw Lu Yan and other "human scum", they turned their heads back dejectedly.There were also bursts of low laughter from around, and Mohande looked embarrassed, but he stared at the other worshipers around him: "What are you laughing at, these are genuine and practical guards, if you have the ability, go and hire a few !"

Morehand jeered even louder.

Naturally, Lu Yan was not interested in paying attention to the jokes among these wild skeletons. He carefully looked around the situation and estimated whether there was any real threat among these worshipers. After all, this place is very close to the death gap of Ping Lan. Who knows if there are any high-level skeletons who are looking for the reborn emperor bones will stop by to worship this holy place.

Suddenly, Lu Yan saw a strange thing, he said to Levin: "Levin, what do you think is that?"

Levin followed Lu Yan's line of sight, 50 meters away, on the edge of the soul gap of Linyuan Town Lord, a gray bone was crawling out of the rotten soil, halfway out of the gray bone, it was obviously a humanoid skeleton , the most peculiar thing is that there is no single rib in his chest, but a thick bone plate.

Levin's face changed: "My lord, this seems to be the skeleton I took you to see."

"He once appeared in Heishui City, then in Gaoling City, and now in this small town of Linyuan..." Lu Yan stood up: "This skeleton has black blood!"

Lu Yan was about to walk towards the human-shaped skeleton with mutated ribs, but who knew that a horse platform pulled by four horses suddenly crossed the main road in the town, just ran over the head of the human-shaped gray skeleton, and instantly returned the body Half of the humanoid ashes buried in the mulch were crushed.

*********

Xueyan opened the wooden door. She didn't wear a veil, revealing her delicate skin like a girl and her stunning appearance. She stood on the bluestone steps in front of the door with frowns, and looked at the man more than ten meters away. The man she dreamed of, and then made her heartbroken.

The man also opened his eyes. Seeing that Xueyan was not wearing a veil, his eyes lit up immediately, but when he lowered his head and saw the two three-petaled flowers in front of his feet, he smiled wryly again: "Xueyan, you haven't thought about it for three days. Figure it out, your comprehension of magic is much stronger than this."

Xueyan's red lips parted slightly, and her real and melodious female voice seldom flowed out: "Don't think you can hide it from me, you just secretly performed the pull-tone technique when you first arrived here three days ago."

The man smiled wryly: "It seems that I was unnecessary. You are no longer the undefended magic apprentice."

"Hmph, of course, although I learned all my magic from you, how could such a trick as the Charm of the Voice work on me? When you started to meditate, I already dispelled it."

"Smart Xue, Misty Smoke, I knew from the first moment I saw you that you would be my best student."

"But I'm not your best lover."

What Xueyan said was a bit resentful, she didn't look like a magister at all, she was basically the image of a little girl abandoned by her lover, the man opposite opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't open his mouth several times.

"You don't need to say it." Xueyan finally sighed: "I know that she passed away last month. The demise of the Palm Kingdom was the last straw that crushed her. At her age, it is impossible to endure The fact that the country I built was annexed."

The man nodded with a wry smile, Xueyan knew that he would come.

Xueyan raised her head, revealing starry eyes: "Why don't you cast a spell to prevent the destruction of the Palm Kingdom? With your ability, it's very easy to do that."

"It's just like I didn't prolong her life at the beginning."

"balance?"

"Yes, balance." The man said: "The god we pray for is not illusory. The balance we promised must be achieved. If you can't restrain others, at least you must restrain yourself."

Xueyan stared at the man for a long time, making sure she couldn't see any deception, she finally sighed: "Faith, I'm afraid it's something I can never learn from you, even if compared to Alpha, your belief in God is even more important." Much more sincere."

After Xue Yan finished speaking, the two three-petal small flowers in front of the man quietly withered, and the liquid that turned into a shape melted into the ground, and the man heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's a coincidence that you came. If I were a few days later, I would have gone to Skull Continent." Xue Yan watched the man walking towards her step by step, and said softly, her voice was no longer as cold as it was at the beginning.

The man smiled and said, "I know, so I'm here to stop you."

"Why stop me instead of going with me?" Xue Yan frowned and said, "As far as I know, Lancelot may have already left."

"Lancelot is losing the state of mind of a true magister." The man said lightly: "Some things are not the sooner you get the better, you still need to learn patience."

Xueyan stared at the man for a long time, the expression on his face slowly changed from questioning to smiling: "It seems that I still have a lot of lessons to learn."

The man walked to Xueyan and stood half a meter away. He lowered his head and sniffed the girlish fragrance of Xueyan's body, and said softly, "Now I have enough time to teach you slowly, as long as you want."

A moment of silence.

Xueyan took half a step forward, leaning gently into the man's arms: "You know I will always be willing, Ayers."
