Otherworldly Skeleton

With less than a hundred human-shaped red bones, it can impact tens of thousands of skeletons, among which there are not only dozens of battle bones, but also a powerful pictographic strong bone... At the beginning, all Lu Yan's subordinates thought this was an impossible task. The mission, the reason why they execute the mission meticulously, is because they want to repay Lu Yan for his kindness, and they are willing to use their lives to write loyalty.

But to their surprise, the battle was won.

Master Battle Bone killed a strong bone one level higher than himself, and the five formations of Cone Tu, Fang, Meijia, Pisces, and Yuanxuan also played an unimaginable role. Two in two out.

What is even more sharp is Master Warbone's tactics. Just setting off a few fires on the high slope scares away thousands of enemies. This kind of wisdom has completely reached the level of human beings. His worship has risen to an even higher level.

Lu Yan soaked in the warm tub, enjoying the nourishment of the soul-inducing water, and the rotting soul that gradually got used to it penetrated into his body, prompting his injured bones to recover quickly. He saw that Grunt was not dead, and was soaking Talking to Kerwin in the bathtub, while Andrina stood by and looked at herself with a smile.

"Uh, let me say that, it doesn't seem good to peek at me taking a shower?" Lu Yan said awkwardly

Andelina obediently turned her face to the distance, and said softly, "Thank you for saving us."

For some reason, Andelina's voice doesn't sound like a skeleton. If you don't look at her, it's like listening to a little human girl, and she's still very beautiful and pure, but she reveals that A strong little girl.

Lu Yan looked at Andelina's slightly red bones and knew that she was stronger than before. He asked, "How did you fall into the hands of these skeletons?"

"Shortly after you left, a message appeared in Murano, saying that there was a war bone with a strange name who was fighting against Lord Yuyuji in Guzama Mountain. It was inextricably linked, but in the end, he lost his strength and was killed by Master Lujiji, but it also dragged the strength of Master Lujiji to fight again, so that he was killed by Lord Zexis."

Andelina turned her face away, walked to the tub two meters away, sat down with her back against the tub, and let the charcoal fire under the tub warm herself, while softly recounting the situation that day: "Brother guessed that the battle bone was you , so he set off here to search for your body, but he didn’t even find it after several days of searching. When he was about to go to Heishui City to find out, he suddenly encountered Caton and was arrested by him as a coolie.”

Lu Yan looked at Andelina's weak shoulders against the firelight, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Hundreds of millions of skeletons died in the valley of Guzama Mountain, and the broken bones alone piled up more than ten meters high. How could Grunt get out of it?" Finding a dead body is nonsense."

"Brother said that he has never seen such a powerful skeleton like you, and he doesn't believe that you will die." Andelina paused for a moment, and said in a weak and inaudible voice: "I don't believe it either."

"I am also an ordinary skeleton, why should I not die?" Lu Yan did not say this sentence, the worship of skeletons is crazy and blind, Lenzait reminded Lu Yan to strengthen the impression of personal bravery in the hearts of his subordinates, Building confidence through this kind of worship is a very suitable leadership style for skeletons.

Since there was no answer, the scene suddenly fell silent. Andelina sat curled up on the rotten soil, hugging her legs in silence. Judging from her slender figure, she didn't look like a bull-headed skeleton at all.

Lu Yan looked up and saw that he and Ke Erwen's men were busy cleaning the battlefield. There were broken bones and the corpses of slaves everywhere in the depression. The escaped skeletons did not let the humans go. A random stab at a locked slave or a direct collision can easily take the life of a human slave. A slave without combat skills is vulnerable to battle bones.

The remaining living soul wandered in the depression, and after being absorbed by the red bone, part of it passed to himself. Lu Yan has always been surprised by the way the skeletons are related. He has not performed any ceremonies to recognize the master. Why is it absorbed by the red bone? Will 50% of the living soul enter his body?

"The tribute of the soul is the core of the skeleton's upgrade system. Each skeleton absorbs the soul of the lower skeleton's tribute, and then pays part of the tribute to the upper skeleton, which is passed on layer by layer until it pours into the emperor's bone. Rotten souls and living souls must be gathered into a skeleton body, but before that, some will be left for those thugs who are looking for souls to improve themselves..."

"The flow of the soul is related to the cognitive consciousness of the skeletons. Once they have determined their superior skeletons psychologically, they will spontaneously offer their souls to them. Of course, some skeletons will prevent this phenomenon through contracts or strong willpower, but For most skeletons, this process is spontaneous, conscious, and uncontrollable..."

The author of Bonepedia also failed to find the principle of the skeletons' tribute souls. In fact, Bonepedia doesn't explain everything clearly about the Skull Continent. It is more like a first draft mixed with guesses and mistakes, waiting Further refinement by its author.

"Master Zhan Gu, if this is the case, then the new soul gap must be real." Ke Erwen ran over happily and interrupted Lu Yan's thoughts. This enchanter actually has a unique skill, he can breed soul-moving rats."

"Move the soul mouse, what is that?" When Lu Yan spoke, he felt the bones in his body tremble slightly, as if he was about to advance. After killing Qianggu and absorbing a large number of living souls by leapfrogging, the battle bones will be upgraded again. Is it small?

With a wave of Ke Erwen's hand, several skeletons pulled over a huge living creature in the distance. It looked like a big mouse, about 15 meters tall, chubby, with short and pointed black hair all over its body, and its head was Triangular, with flat and wide forelimbs, holding a broken skull and screaming.

Anderina looked terrified, and unconsciously hid aside.

"Soul-moving rats, also known as soul-eating rats, are animals that can ingest rotten souls." Kerwin pointed to the big black rats and said, "They are the natural enemies of the soul gap. If the rotten souls in the soul gap are excessively If you use it, the soul gap will gradually shrink, or even completely close, so every big city has special skeletons to deal with this kind of soul-moving rats. The outbreak of rats is a terrible thing. It is said that there was once a second-level city It was completely destroyed by the soul-moving rat."

"Did these soul-moving rats eat the remaining bone souls of Guzajian Mountain? What does that have to do with the newborn soul gap?" Lu Yan looked around and found that many black rats appeared from nowhere. They quickly grabbed a certain bone and dragged it out. Obviously, there were bone souls in the bone that had not yet revealed their form, but they didn't know what special ability the soul-moving mouse used to recognize their existence.

"The reason why the soul-moving rats have the word 'move' is because they have to remove the bone soul first, and then they are willing to slowly devour it." Ke Erwen, an old fox, knows everything about the Skull Continent. Once he understands the problem, All the things were strung together by him: "Carton placed a large nest of soul-moving mice dozens of kilometers away, and then brought their cubs to the battlefield ruins in Bone Narrow Mountain. The cubs will grow up quickly if they have bone souls as food, and then instinctively drive them to move the inexhaustible bone souls back to their old dens... After multiplying in this way, and then carrying them, they will dig up all the remaining bone souls in Guzajian Mountain. Especially those bone souls that are invisible and intangible on the war bones and red bones, the soul-moving mouse can also move them away together with the bones. That's why a Shuibei town was formed in such a short period of time. A large soul gap."

"Katton just wants to make a bone card, what hindrance does the bone soul have on him?"

Although Grunt was seriously injured, he was in good spirits. Without waiting for Kerwin to speak, he took the initiative to say: "Katon removed the bone soul because he was afraid of breeding soul gaps, and the new soul gaps will produce a lot of gray bones and other variables. It is not conducive to his concealment, in order to conceal, his enchanters also set up a soul isolation array in the depression to prevent any skeleton from sensing with the vassals of the same level, so you, my lord, have not been able to sense my position."

That's how it turned out, Lu Yan finally showed a relaxed smile: "Boss Ke Erwen's bone and earth discrimination skills are really powerful, so the next stop is the land of the new soul gap."

After resting for more than two hours, Lu Yan insisted on starting. After all, this place is a fierce place, and so many fleeing war bones did not know if they would attract other enemies. He ordered Hong Gu to carry him to Niutai On the next day, the whole army marched towards the newborn soul gap. This time, it was Anderina who sat next to him and applied the soul-inducing water to heal his wounds.

Lu Yan ordered his subordinates to smash all the imitation bone cards left by Caton to pieces. This is a decapitation tool, and neither he nor Ke Erwen is interested in touching it.

There are only a dozen slaves surviving in the depression. Lu Yan pointed out the direction of Heishui City for them, and let them go on their own. Smart slaves will not escape. In this black land, human beings also need to rely on the correct collarbones to survive.

Like Grunt, there are hundreds of skeletons who were captured as coolies, all of whom were thick-boned and powerful. According to Grunt, it would be better to ask Lu Yan to take them all as vassal bones, but However, Lu Yan refused. Lenzait said long ago that a chaotic team structure is the fuse of failure. There are countless cases where the entire team collapsed due to being disrupted by his teammates. In fact, almost all skeleton battles Such a situation happened, so the Legion Battle Banner that made the chaos even more chaotic was needed.

To Lu Yan's surprise, Ke Erwen didn't take in these strange skeletons either. The old fox had rich experience in wild survival, and he didn't want to give the wild bandits or other spies of army skeletons a chance to take advantage of the loopholes. The skeletons under him Although they were many and messy, they really knew the basics. Most of them had been with him for more than a year. For these strange skeletons in the depression, he didn't want any of them, even if they didn't need to pay commission.

In this way, except for the Grunt brothers and sisters, Lu Yan never accepted a strange skeleton. They left Guzajian Mountain with expectations and caution for the new soul gap.

After Lu Yan left, the coolie skeletons in the depression gradually dispersed, or searched for the village where they were born according to their memories, or wandered aimlessly in the black soil until their bones faded away and they died.

Two extremely inconspicuous dog-shaped skeletons wandered for a certain distance towards the north, hanging far behind Lu Yan's team all the time. Only when there were no other skeletons around, the two dog-shaped skeletons slowly straightened up. The spine reveals the aura that only the bones of the army have.

"This group of skeletons seems to know where the new soul gap created by the soul-moving mouse is. You go and report to the Lord, and I will follow."

"Well, you have to be careful, that humanoid battle bone can kill Qianggu head-on, it's not easy."

"Carton is just a strong bone that has evolved spontaneously in the wild from a retired battle bone. He is not good at fighting, and he is far behind adults."

"That's true, but it's always good for you to be careful. I'm leaving."

After the two dog-shaped skeletons chatted in low voices for a while, one of them turned and ran to the west, while the other followed Lu Yan's team.
