Otherworldly Skeleton

Guzama Mountain is like two huge bones placed side by side on a chopping board. There is a valley more than 20 kilometers long between the two bones. This super-large and narrow valley has been completely filled by skeletons at this moment.

Looking down from the top of the cliff, Lu Yan could not see a single skeleton. What caught his eye was a gray-white ocean, not only covering the bottom of the valley, but also from the cliff walls on both sides. The bone will fall off the cliff and die almost immediately, but the follow-up is still pouring out.

This kind of rotten soil that can grow quickly is called "active rotten soil". Lu Yan was born from the active rotten soil at the beginning. Every strong bone can receive "soul-inducing water" from the army to stimulate the rotten soil to become active. When entering a state of war, they only need to sprinkle the soul-inducing water into the ground to create a piece of rotten soil that produces ashes.

The purpose of using soul-inducing water to activate the rotten soil is to avoid carrying ashes during the long-distance march. Although the Skull Continent is only one-third the size of the Notinglon Continent, it is also a huge area of ​​tens of thousands of kilometers, so the walking speed is very slow. The ashes can't adapt to long-distance marches at all.

The skeletons in the valley are fighting fiercely. There are two fronts, one in the valley near the north and south exits. It is obvious that the skeleton army in the middle is blocked in the valley of Guzama Mountain, facing enemies from both sides.

Lu Yan noticed that there were three huge flags erected high in the skeleton. The flagpoles were super giant bones he had never seen before. They were long and huge. Not only are there exquisite silk borders, but also exquisite patterns embroidered on them.

The flag in the valley is embroidered with a dog-shaped skull screaming upwards, but according to Keren Val, it is actually a pig skeleton.

The flag at the north entrance of the valley is embroidered with a coiled snake bone, which is the collar bone of Fenrir, a rare snake-shaped skull.

The flag at the south entrance of the valley is also embroidered with a dog-shaped skull, but it is much smaller than that of Zexis. It is the collarbone of Huojiji who betrayed Zexis. It is said to be a jackal-shaped skull. Very cunning.

"My lord, do the skeletons pay so much attention to building battle flags?"

Karen Val looked at Lu Yan with admiration, this little thing can always see the key points at a glance, just like his battles with Uhtred, Zama and Ajiawang, he always likes to attack the enemy's vital points One hit kill.

"The battle flag has two functions." Karen Val said: "One is command, the soul words of the skeleton cannot be spread across levels, just like I can't order the red bones of your subordinates, so when the middle-level skeleton dies in battle, it will At this time, their only course of action is to look at the battle flag. If the battle flag is tilted forward, it means to attack;

Lu Yan saw that although the two fronts were fighting fiercely in the valley, the three battle flags were standing still. This seemed to be a bit different from what Karen Val said, but he understood it after thinking about it. Both Fenrir and Kojiji were conducting tentative attacks on Zexis, but did not launch a general attack.

"The second function is to prove the existence of the Supreme Commander." A trace of sneer floated on Karen Val's face: "The skeleton is such a kind of life that is both centralized and loyal, and can be dispersed and surrendered at any time. , all the generals will obey him faithfully, and will not regret even charging for him to the death, but if the leader dies in battle, all efforts will be meaningless, and the generals will flee the battlefield or surrender to the opponent's leader."

"It's no wonder that after the death of the emperor's bone, the Skeleton Continent immediately became a mess." Lu Yan nodded: "This is because there is only one emperor's bone, and when there is no stronger one for the leaders to take refuge in, they can only kill each other."

"Yes, in fact, high-level skeletons understand this truth, but this instinct to pursue power makes it difficult for skeletons to have a coexistence relationship. They can only obey the strongest one forever. In fact, human beings are the same, it's just their behavior Always hidden behind thick fat and muscle, not as straightforward as a skeleton."

Unexpectedly, one question provoked so many thoughts from Karen Val, Lu Yan had no choice but to pull the boss back to the battlefield: "Master, will we be in danger here, in case there are skeletons on the three sides who want to climb up to attack or If you run away..."

"No." Karen Wahl pointed to the huge "bones" hidden in the darkness in the distance: "The terrain of the Bone Narrow Mountain is very strange. These two 'bones' only connect to the ground at the joints, but they do not touch the ground." The place is in the shape of an inverted cone, and it can’t slide easily, and you can’t climb up, you can only fly up.”

It was only then that Lu Yan realized that the bone wings on Karen Val's back were slightly opened. It turned out that he flew up the Guzajian Mountain.

"My lord, are there few flying skeletons like you?"

"It's more than rare, it's extremely rare." Karen Val couldn't hide his pride: "Although there are many animals that can fly, not many have bones in their wings, and although those fragile bird skeletons can fly, But it is rare to be able to develop above the level of war bones, so flying skeletons are very rare."

Lu Yan felt that Karen Val's words were mostly boasting, because he once saw another strong-boned skeleton fly over from a few kilometers away under the stone wall of Hegu Village, and cracked the trainee magician's voice with the forbidden devil's voice. chant.

Karen Waal always seemed to have a magical ability to guess Lu Yan's mind. He changed his tone and said suddenly: "However, some skeletons with strong bones can still slide for a certain distance with strong force, just want to Flying up such a high cliff, I am afraid there will not be too many skeletons."

It doesn't matter if there are more or less, anyway, there are no skeletons flying up now, and Lu Yan doesn't want to get entangled in this problem, he asked: "My lord, I have found Lord Zexis, what should we do now, let's climb down and join his team." The army?"

"No, no, no... Isn't that death!" Karen Val waved his hands again and again: "Let's wait and see, if Zexis can block the joint attack of their two families, then we will go out to worship the king and return to the team obediently."

"What if you can't stop it?"

"Then, of course, I'm happy to join one of the two victorious leaders. I'm more optimistic about Luluji, how about you?"

Lu Yan didn't bother to care about Karen Val, he thought that this bone dragon must have his own plan to say all kinds of bad things. Since the strong bone of the superior is not in a hurry, he, a little battle bone, is not in a hurry either. , Lu Yan simply sat cross-legged on the ground, and meditated on the essentials of Die Yun Feng Wu's movements.

Karen Val smiled slightly, regardless of Lu Yan, and lay on the edge of the cliff to watch the show leisurely.

The battle of the skeletons is simple and not fancy. Because the number is too large, it is generally a war of attrition. The first thing to consume is the "spirit-inducing water". Bone's ability, and then ordered the battle bone organization Red Bone and these lowest-level cannon fodder to charge. If they can break through the opponent's defense line, the whole army will rush forward. If they can't, they will continue to consume it.

Of course Zexis knew the tactics of other skeletons, so he dismantled all the huge siege weapons and placed them as walls at both ends to resist the restless attack.

In fact, it has been nearly two months since the imperial bone died, so many excellent subordinates have died in the chaos of the various collar bones, and the skeletons above the strong bone level are not as easy to replenish as the gray bones and red bones, so the skeletons The combat effectiveness of Zerkes has dropped drastically. There are only a dozen generals around Zexis, and no more than 200 cavalry. Fenrir and Huo Jiji are also similar. They are not willing to go to the battlefield for these real elites. of.

In addition to the bones and the cannon fodder they command, the real main force on the battlefield is nearly ten thousand strong bones in the hands of all parties. This kind of strong skeleton has lightning-fast speed, rock-breaking strength and a rock-solid body. , Whenever they make a move, the battle must have reached a dangerous climax, and any party who is not careful may fall into perdition.

The first real eruption occurred in the ninth hour after Lu Yan arrived at Guzama Mountain.

At noon, the scorching sun came down from the sky, and the Zexis troops in the middle of the valley got the most favorable terrain. They hid in the shadow of the valley and laughed at the raiders. The high temperature was their best helper. After a whole day of exposure to the sun, at least [-]% of the skeletons lacking water at both ends of the valley will die.

"The reason why this stupid pig resisted was because of this idea. After he survived the night, he will get strong conditions." Karen Val satirized his future leader mercilessly: "But Fenrir and Huan Ji is not a vegetarian either, they did not launch a real offensive at night, which means that their real plan is to attack during the day, I wonder if this stupid pig Zexis can see through this."

Sure enough, when the tribe of Zexis was laughing, the flags of the two sections of Guzama Mountain tilted towards the middle at the same time, and the sharp sword-like flagpole plunged into the shadow of the valley, as if to use its murderous aura Dispel this blackness that dares to linger in the sun.

Lu Yan saw two huge waves erupting on both sides of the valley, the skeletons rushed towards the middle of the valley desperately, Qianggu stepped on the heads of his subordinates and rushed towards the middle, and hundreds of riding bones also turned into black meteors Crashing under the banner of Xerxes, and at the same time, the terrifying bone was also attacked. A huge explosion sounded in the crowd of skeletons, and the waves of squeezed bones bloomed like white flowers. The damage caused by the aftermath of the attack by the bones, Lu Yan even felt the bone fragments scratching his cheekbones.

Guzajian Mountain is hundreds of meters high, how can the aftermath of the bone attack be so far?

Looking at the crowd of skeletons churning in the valley, Lu Yan couldn't help feeling sick. This is the real skeleton cemetery. Compared with the two pitifully few strong bones in Hegu Village, the scale of the battle in Guzajian Mountain It's not a little bit older, not to mention red bones and war bones, even strong bones can't make any waves in it.
