Otherworldly Skeleton

"Your name..." Karen Val lay on the uneven bone car, and looked at Lu Yan lying next to him with disdainful eyes: "It's really old-fashioned, very tasteless, and it doesn't rhyme when you pronounce it. and……"

"Very sad." Lu Yan continued lightly: "It sounds very sad, with a feeling of despair."

Karen Val was silent for a moment, and then said again: "The name will not be sad and hopeless. That feeling comes from your memory. Did you remember something?"

"Well, some humans are calling my name, it seems they are very sad."

Karen Val patted his subordinate on the shoulder: "That's for sure. Human beings are emotional animals. They usually quarrel when they live, but when their companions die, they cry to death. They are distraught. It's crazy."

"But I can't remember..." Lu Yan said in pain: "I can't remember who is calling my name, and why?"

"Remember what happened when I was a living creature?" Karen Val shook his head: "It's basically impossible, at least I didn't think of my life as a dragon before when I was in the bone stage, but it's not completely hopeless, it is said After leading the bones, the memory will return, and another day we will ask Xerxis if he remembers his glorious history as a wild boar."

Knowing that Karen Val was joking, Lu Yan shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject and asked, "My lord, before I jumped off Guzajian Mountain, I asked you why you didn't keep the Gulong secret." Identity, you said the answer will be revealed after surviving, now you can tell me the answer."

"Hey, boy, do you see that Zexis has designated me as his mount?"

"No, he confirmed your new identity as Qianggu instead, and agreed that you will directly obey the orders of Master Bone before Rider Bone returns." Lu Yan replied puzzledly, and Zexis directly arranged for Mr. Qianggu to come back. Work, which itself is a rare thing.

"That's why." Karen Val's soul words suddenly became very low: "That stupid pig is cunning, he just wants to take me in as his mount, but his current mount is at the level of a general, so he will wait I have grown to the level of a general on my own, and then I will start to subdue me."

"Ah—then let's run?" Lu Yan has already advanced and retreated with Karen Val, so if Karen Val wants to escape, he will definitely follow without hesitation.

"Hey, run away!" Karen Val said triumphantly: "This is what my plan is. Zexis is not weak among the leaders, and he is slow, so he can afford to wait, so I take refuge in him." He won't become a mount right away, but with him on it, other riders and generals will never dare to catch my attention, that is to say... I am absolutely safe before I advance to generals! "

Lu Yan suddenly realized that Karen Val was sleeping next to the tiger, using the power of the tiger to scare away other predators, but who knew when the tiger would eat him hungry.

"My lord..." Lu Yan wanted to persuade him again.

"This is the most ideal state. Do you think the identity of the bone dragon is so easy to hide?" Karen Val smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If the emperor bone is not dead, everything is peaceful, but now the world is in chaos. If Without a suitable umbrella, I was doomed to be used as a mount."

Lu Yan fell silent, and it seemed that following Zexis was a foregone conclusion.

After a while, Lu Yan spoke again: "My lord, is it really painful to be a mount?"

"That's not it." Karen Val's tone became vicissitudes: "It's just that I don't like being a mount very much, because the upper limit of a mount is the general level, and some things, such as the long-term memory you feel, require Only the skeleton above the collarbone can be recalled, if possible, I certainly hope to go further and see some different scenery.”

In the long memory, Lu Yan repeatedly chewed the meaning of a few words in his heart. Is that kind of heartbreaking memory really so hard to let go?

Zexis suffered heavy losses. There were only three skeletons left, less than [-] cavalry skeletons, and most of the skeletons of other levels under him were also lost. However, he also gained a lot. Er also escaped, and he won the Battle of the Bone, and the victor has the right to clean up the battlefield.

Millions of bone souls, ranging from bony ones to strong ones, were left in the bone-covered valley, waiting for the victors of this great battle to pick them up. If these bone souls fell into the hands of humans, it would probably be enough Let any small country exchange for more than ten years of treasury assets, and on the Skull Continent, bone souls also have their irreplaceable role-city upgrades.

Skeleton cities are built on the soul gap, and the size of the soul gap and the number of branches determine the scale of the city. The only way for the soul gap to expand is to devour bone souls and throw a large number of bone souls into the soul gap , will allow the entire city to develop by leaps and bounds. According to Karen Val's estimation, the bone souls harvested by Zexis in this battle are enough to double the size of the central city under his rule.

Although a large part of this doubled expansion came from the bone souls of Zexis's own subordinates, this ending is much more perfect than all the bone souls being divided up by Fenrir and Yuluji.

Skeletons are not as troublesome as humans to load bone souls. They don't need any crystals. They just stuff bone souls into their bodies, and those bone souls will be temporarily fixed and won't dissipate within dozens of days. Lu Yan More than a dozen bone souls were also placed in his body, and he also served as a means of transportation.

Bone souls come in various colors, but most of them are dark, dark red, dark green, dark purple, dark yellow, and there are also off-white and pure black bone souls, like shimmering balloons, lightly floating in the ribs. Floating, they will not collide with each other, nor will they touch Lu Yan's ribs. It seems that there is a natural repulsive force on the surface of the bone soul.

Lu Yan was very curious about this, and asked Karen Val a lot about bone souls and skeleton cities along the way. This world full of death, but full of vitality, made him feel a deeper and deeper identity. feel.

After seven consecutive days of marching, the army returned to Blackwater City under the rule of Zexis.

Blackwater City is the largest and strongest of the five cities of Zexis. There is a twelve-kilometer-long soul gap in the city. This huge soul gap crosses the Black River of the Skull Continent, and the souls derived The branches of the gap spread out in the underground of Blackwater City like a spider web. According to the convention, this soul gap has the same name as its city, Blackwater Soul Gap.

Although the Blackwater Soul Gap is only twelve kilometers away, the skeletons he bred live nearly twenty kilometers away. Tens of millions of skeletons live in Blackwater City, and there are thirty times as many skeletons stationed around Blackwater City. , longing for every bit of rotten soul that leaked from the black water soul gap.

When the army returned to the city, Lu Yan saw the ecstatic skeletons outside the city. All the skeletons stationed outside the city rushed to the north of the city to welcome the army's return, because they knew that the victory of the army meant the expansion of the city, and the city The expansion of the city means that they may change from refugees outside the city to formal residents in the city.

In the vast sea of ​​skeletons, all kinds of weird cheers gathered together to form a symphony to welcome the victors. On the narrow passage made by the cheers, every army skeleton walked proudly. After Seungri survived the bone crushing machine of Mount Osakama, each of them deserved the cheer.

Zexis rode a huge bony centipede and walked at the front of the team. He made no secret of his pride. The temporary loss will soon be made up. This battle will make his strength stand out among the surrounding leaders. Standing out, even if it is the grand goal of dominating the entire Skull Continent, it is not impossible to think about it.

Behind Zexis are three generals. The difference between them and Zexis is that they don't have helmets, but they are also wearing complete armor.

Riders are in the third echelon. The [-] riders also have mounts. They are not qualified to wear full armor, but they can wear metal ornaments on certain parts of their bodies. Most of the riders will choose to add it to their weapons. Shiny metal, so it looks murderous.

The fourth echelon is strong bones, with uniform black-faced and red-bottomed cloaks. Although there are no mounts, they are as majestic as walking in line. Karen Val hangs casually at the middle and rear of the team, with a so-called face, obviously for this kind of welcome ceremony Do not catch a cold.

Lu Yan was designated by Zexis as the leader of the battle bone echelon, with red small broken steps tied around his neck, and a bunch of colorful bone souls in his stomach, Lu Yan walked forward with some embarrassment, when he walked When he entered the welcoming aisle formed by the skeletons, he felt the surrounding voices suddenly drop.

"Humanoid skeleton..."

"...Battle bones..."

"Jump off the top of the mountain..."

Low voices of discussion came from the group of ordinary skeletons with no soul words on both sides. Lu Yan thought to himself, humanoid skeletons are really not welcome, and the companion skeletons along the way are also indifferent. But now even ordinary skeletons dare to talk casually.

Just thinking of this, suddenly a skeleton on the right jumped up and shouted: "It's him! It's him! He was the first one to walk in the battle bone. He jumped down from the bone mountain and killed Lu Yan, who was Lu Jiji! Lu Gun Demon!"

The hesitant discussion just now broke out in an instant, and several skeletons roared frantically: "Lu Yan! Lu Gun Demon! Well done! The savior of Heishui City!"

Lu Yan froze on the spot in astonishment. He didn't expect that the surrounding discussions were not mocking his human skeleton but affirming his achievements. How could the desperate leap from Guzajian Mountain spread to Heishui City so quickly, but only destroyed How could he, who had won the battle flag, become the Lv Qiang Demon who killed Lu Luji again?

The shouts were louder and louder, and several skeletons were crushed and trampled to death by their crazy companions, but this kind of death was not enough to appease their worship of heroes. As early as a few days ago, there were messenger skeletons who had passed on the deeds of this Lu gun demon. Back to Heishui City, a battle bone who dared to attack the leader!It doesn't matter whether you killed Yu Luji or not, this kind of momentum is enough to make him a well-deserved hero.

After Lu Yan was stunned for half a minute, he remembered that he was the leader of the battle bone echelon. He suddenly turned around and found several dark black battle bones standing neatly behind him, waiting for him to take a step forward. None of them The skeleton took half a step forward without any impatient urging. From their eyes, Lu Yan saw respect and recognition.

It turned out that there were no skeletons laughing at my size, they still obeyed the instinct of the skeleton world - reverence for power, Lu Yan's mood suddenly improved, he turned around, raised his chest and head, and took a firm step towards Heishui City.
