Otherworldly Skeleton

After putting away his sorrow, Lu Yan organized his team and set off towards the caves in the distance.

When boarding the boat, Lu Yan saw a lot of tin boxes piled up on the shore. The iron skin on the outside of the boxes was very smooth, as if it had been polished for a long time. soul water.

"My lord, these boxes are well sealed, but the soul-inducing water will not be kept fresh because of the sealing. It seems that such a perfect preservation does not make much sense." After carefully observing the iron box, Rui Sien said strangely.

Lu Yan is also very strange: "Yes, there are no human slaves here, and there is no blacksmith's shop, so these iron boxes are all ordered from the nearby Skeleton City and shipped here. This is a very troublesome thing. Why would K do this?"

"The iron box is sealed, so it seems to be waterproof. Could it be that it still rains in this underground world?"

"Is it possible to make a soul ball?"

"It's kind of like it, but it's too wasteful to make a soul ball in this way..."

After discussing for a long time, there was no answer, so they had to leave Luofeng Town by boat. The residents of the town watched them from a distance, and Rui Sien seemed to see a trace of worry on their faces.

The boat is an ordinary soul-inducing water collection ship, with several iron boxes full of soul-inducing water placed on the bow, besides Lu Yan, there are Andelina, Rui Sien, Stone, Levin, Ka Xi, Kajieer, and the other skeletons were all put into the space bag by Lu Yan.

Cassie was lying in a corner of the cabin, chewing grass stalks, and looked at Lu Yan silently. He seemed to have become silent after hearing Lu Yan's last decision to cross the continent, and he was always preoccupied. look.

Lu Yan came to sit down next to Cassie: "Let's talk?"

"Doesn't Lord Qigu recall his painful memories? Why are you interested in chatting with me, a little warrior?" Cassie returned lazily.

Lu Yan was not angry at all: "Immersing myself in memory is not enough, all I can do is strive to grasp the future."

"What's the future?"

"Either find Fars, or find the manipulator behind the scenes." Lu Yan said with a smile: "This is my future."

"It sounds like the latter is a little more reliable." Cassie shook his head again: "No, neither of them are reliable."

"Hehe, I'm done with my business." Lu Yan looked at Cassie: "Tell me about you, why do you need so much money?"

After a moment of silence, Cassie shrugged: "A friend, who is sick, needs money for medical treatment, it's as simple as that."

"Humanity?"

Surprise immediately appeared on Cassie's face: "How do you know?"

"Because I also have human friends." Lu Yan patted Cassie on the shoulder with a smile: "Some human diseases are difficult to cure on the Skull Continent. After returning to Gaoling City, I will arrange a caravan to do business on the mainland. Just in time to take you and your friends there."

Cassie's so-called face finally showed a rare excitement, and he said seriously: "My lord, if my friend recovers from his illness, I am willing to fight with you from now on."

"Okay, I also want to use your strength, thank you." Lu Yan made no secret of his expectation.

After falling downward for an unknown amount of time, Augustin's unicorn mount stepped on the ground, and the unicorn skeleton also had a bone soul inside, illuminating the cold and wet ground.

The ground under his feet was full of silt and broken bones. Rats and reptiles of all sizes roamed freely among them. There was also a shallow layer of stagnant water. A colorful venomous snake was sliding through the stagnant water, heading towards Augustus. Jin spat out a provocative snake letter.

"Pfft!" Fafnir stepped on it, trampling the poisonous snake into a pulp, and splashing out the accumulated water on the ground mixed with silt. Along with the accumulated water, there was also a faint trace of rotting soul.

"My lord, there are rotten souls here, no wonder Ping Lan's death gap refuses to close, could there be a soul gap in the ground?" Feins wondered.

Augustine smiled and said: "It's right to have a soul gap. Although the bone loss is minimized after the bone ant hatches, it still needs to be supplemented by rotting souls. It seems that we are really getting close to the bedroom where the ant army sleeps." .”

There were bursts of whining sounds in the distance, as if there were many wild beasts hiding in the dark and screaming strangely, but in fact it was the sound of wind blowing through the narrow cave. Feins wondered: "If Neddy really takes us If you lead to the hiding place of the ant army, then he is playing with fire."

Augustine walked along the messy underground gravel road to the place where the rotten soul came from: "Whatever he plays, we will stay with you to the end anyway."

There were shouts of skeletons everywhere on the left and right sides. Most of the undead who fell here were above the level of riding bones, and they rushed towards the depths of the tubular cave group noisily.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the unnatural gale brought damp rotting souls gushing from the depths.

Lu Yan sat next to Andelina: "You can see that everything is not going my way."

"I am very sorry for what happened to you." Andelina said sincerely: "If I know who treated you like this, I will smash his skull for you."

"Well, thank you." Lu Yan glanced at the honeycomb-shaped cave that was getting closer, and then continued: "But I want to talk to you about another thing."

"Sir, please speak."

"What's the matter with you? What did Grunt promise to help you?" Lu Yan asked word by word, and Andelina's body stiffened immediately, and she stood there refusing to answer.

Lu Yan knew what Anderina was afraid of, and he said again: "You don't have to worry about bringing me into any danger, I just want to know if the ones who hurt you and Grunt are the same group as those who persecuted me .”

Andelina's body trembled, and she finally said tremblingly: "My lord, I was very young at the time, so I may not be able to remember some things clearly, so I may not be able to explain everything."

"It's okay, talk as much as you want." Seeing Andelina's body trembling non-stop, Lu Yan stretched out his arms to gently support her.

Andelina leaned in Lu Yan's arms, and her body seemed to have regained some strength: "Five years ago, I was only eight years old, and I lived in a secluded valley. All I remember is that there are tall stone pillars everywhere in the valley. , there are many tauren living there, and their king is my father."

It turns out that there really are tauren, Lu Yan is slightly surprised, I really don't know how many mysterious races are hidden in this continent.

"I remember that the valley has always been peaceful and there has never been a war, until one day, a human wearing a black robe came to our valley." Andelina's face was faintly angry: "He persuaded me Father, let him attack the Lan Empire."

Was it human who turned Andrina into a skeleton?Lu Yan was a little disappointed, but then he thought about it, the terrifying creature that controls him has so much magic power, so there is no possibility of turning into a human form.

Andelina said again: "My father refused to follow his advice, so the man in black robe secretly found my uncle, persuaded my uncle to raise an army, and overthrew my father... Later we were caught by him, he Turning a dozen tauren, including my parents, into skeletons, the method used is very similar to the ritual of flying dragon mounts hatched by Lord Karen Val."

Lu Yan touched Andelina's arm bone, giving her the courage to continue.

"This terrifying power made my uncle completely surrender to him. Under his order, he began to assemble a large army to prepare to attack the Lan Empire. We, the skeletons, were the ones they used to sacrifice totem poles before going out."

"How did you escape then?"

"Grunt is my father's most loyal personal guard. He was also transformed into a skeleton. He took me out of the cage before the army went out, and finally ended up on the Skeleton Continent. I almost died under the chaos. It's a pity that Grunt..." Anderina's voice choked and trembled slightly.

The country was subverted, her parents were killed, and even her own body changed. What happened to Andelina was really tragic. Lu Yan patted her lightly: "It's much easier to say it."

"Ah."

"Don't worry, I will go to Ruo Dinglun Continent anyway sooner or later, I will fulfill Grunt's unfulfilled last wish, help you avenge, and help your Tauren clan regain peace!"

While speaking, the soul-inducing water collection ship was already close to the rock wall full of caves. Lu Yan heard the sharp wind sound above his head, and he felt that the wind element in the air was very sufficient.

Looking up, Lu Yan saw tens of thousands of caves, large and small, lined up on the rock wall facing him. The large ones had a diameter of more than ten meters, and the small ones were less than half a meter. On the dark rock wall, there are probably a lot of such caves.

The sound of the wind comes from these caves, whistling with the trembling sound of tearing the air, looking carefully, there are traces of white wind lines mixed in it, these wind lines faintly float to the top of Soul Lake, following the strong wind The abyss goes all the way up.Lu Yan immediately understood that these wind tunnels seemed to be the reason for the formation of the wind pillars in the Gale Abyss. Although they are not strong at the moment, they gradually increase in power after a certain frequency of mixing, forming a special wind pillar that Gale beasts cannot approach. Then it flew tens of thousands of meters upwards and then slowly dissipated.

What Lu Yan thought was right, this process of weakening first, then strengthening, and then dissipating is called "magic shock wave" in magic knowledge, and it is also one of the main principles of joint singing.There are many special terrains formed by the flow of natural elements on the mainland, and each of them is a strange and beautiful place.

Among the wind tunnels in front of us, the higher the wind tunnel is, the stronger the wind force is, and the lower the wind tunnel is, the weaker the wind force is. At the position close to the water surface of Soul Lake, there is almost no wind blowing from those wind tunnels, and the boat that Lu Yan is on is very smooth. Entering one of the caves further confirmed Dirk's escape route, but there was still something wrong in Lu Yan's heart, and he found that Rui Sien had also been meditating.

Although it seems that there is no wind, but after entering the cave, you can still feel the sudden increase of the wind, and the surrounding wind is loud, as if there are countless monsters roaring or screaming around, and the wind passing through the body is also full of power, especially Kajie Er's ribs were connected into one piece, and he was almost blown into the lake by strong winds several times.

Lu Yan used a white bee, and Andelina used a big sword. They supported the rock wall and pushed the boat into the cave bit by bit. Fortunately, the waterway in the cave is not deep, but it looks like it has entered eight or nine meters. After reaching the shore, Lu Yan ordered the boat to be tied up, and took the skeletons ashore.

There are smooth rocks under the feet, as well as the surroundings. The cave is in a tubular structure, protruding into the darkness with a bold arc. There are many gaps in the cave wall at the top. Looking from the gaps, the tubular cave with the same structure One by one, this is the internal structure of many wind tunnels, like the inside of a dry and damaged beehive.

"Don't go all the way, you have to explore the way first." Lu Yan said, staring into the depths of the darkness.

Cassie stepped forward with a smile: "I'll go."

Lu Yan didn't make a fuss, and immediately agreed. He knew that Cassie seemed to be good at hiding, and it would be best for him to find the way.

After getting Lu Yan's approval, Cassie quickly rushed into the darkness with a grass stalk in his mouth.
