Otherworldly Skeleton

It happened so fast, Uhtred's stupid red-bone subordinates didn't react at all, and even the other war bones didn't react. The only ones who could react were Uhtred and him. Karen Val behind.

The moment before Lu Yan's bone needles touched Wutred's neck bone, this leopard-like flexible skeleton reacted immediately. Its entire spine shrank rapidly, and its feet moved forward flexibly. At the same time, its right paw Has already swept out fiercely, and patted Lu Yan's chest.

Lu Yan found that his movements could not keep up with Uhtred's evasive movements. Although the bone needles almost pierced Uhtred's neck bone, it was as difficult to climb as a mountain. There is indeed a world of difference between the battle bones, and he will almost certainly not meet Uhtred.

But luckily there was Karen Val.

Before Lu Yan moved, Karen Val had already sprayed a puff of black smoke from the triangular skull, as if he had expected that Lu Yan would definitely do it.

This kind of black smoke that once healed Lu Yan's broken bone obviously has another opposite terrifying effect. Uhtred's arched back touched the black smoke after retreating half a meter, and there was a heart-piercing sound. Howling exploded from his triangular head, and his hind limbs changed the direction of force as a conditioned reflex, and rushed towards Lu Yan.

The sneak attack from behind was too terrifying, and Utred knew it without thinking. Of course, it was better to break through the fragile red bone in front of him. The bone skills of the red bone can at most make a gap in the battle bone, and it is difficult to cause any fatal injuries.

Uhtred's steely claws swept across Lu Yan's chest, cutting off all 24 ribs of Lu Yan. Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary red bones to survive under such circumstances, but Lu Yan did not fall down. , he didn't even take half a step back, the pain from his broken rib for the second time today didn't seem so unbearable, he had even ignored the pain, and completely focused on his bone needles.

The white tip of the bone needle in the right hand finally touched Uhtred's neck bone.

"Zi——!" The sound of hot iron falling into lard, accompanied by the stench of burning bones, Lu Yan clearly saw that the bone needle pierced Utred's neck bone, and Utred was red. The cleft of the black neck bone is turning white, as if the whiteness of the spicule tip is contagious.

Utred obviously stiffened for a moment, and then he couldn't hold back the momentum and collided with Lu Yan and fell to the ground. A howling scream broke out from his mouth, his limbs twitched desperately, and the turf and mud were thrown away by him. The sky was full, and Lu Yan was always under his body. Although he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, his white bone needle was always stuck in Utred's neck bone.

About 3 minutes later, Uhtred stopped screaming, his limbs gradually stopped shaking, and all his subordinates felt that a thread was broken, because their boss was dead.

The red bone actually killed the war bone with one move. Although Karen Val cooperated, all the skeletons could tell that it was Lu Yan who gave the fatal blow.

"Bring him and his broken bones to my awning." Karen Val pointed to Lu Yan's broken body and said, and then glanced at the other bones: "After I heal my men, we will Go around the pool from the southwest and continue west."

When Lu Yan woke up, he felt that the surroundings were pitch black. He thought it was night, but soon he realized that this was the "dark tent" where the soldiers lived temporarily.

Skeletons like to stay in the wet and cold underground, even at the level of riding bones or even collar bones. Therefore, every time a high-level skeleton arrives at a temporary camp, he will ask his men to dig a hole and build a temporary shelter. Now What Lu Yan was staying in was a dark tent, and Karen Val was sitting opposite him, playing with a few broken bones arranged in a certain way on the ground.

"It will take a while for your bones to fully heal. We just came to play a game of chess. This is a reward for your outstanding task today." Karen Val said in an irresistible tone.

Lu Yan struggled to sit up. Although his body hurt everywhere, every bone was indeed there. It seemed that Karen Val did not throw himself away like a discarded pawn, and this time he chose the right one.

"You don't have to thank me, Uhtred deserves to die, I didn't kill him for you." Karen Val twisted a knuckle-sized bone with his thick forelimb claws, and gently placed it on the ground to draw In the square: "Three pieces in a row can capture the opponent's chess pieces, and the side that is completely captured will lose."

"My lord has saved me for the second time. For this, I will always stand behind my lord." Lu Yan's trust in Karen Val comes from a kind of skeleton's instinctive trust in the strong, just like today he In addition to being unable to kneel down, he also thinks that Karen Val will win in the dark. This is an intuition.

"Hey, what a stupid declaration of allegiance." Karen Val disdainfully said: "Bones have no trust, and when you reach my level, you will understand this."

Of course Lu Yan knew what Karen Val meant. Red bones will always be cannon fodder for war bones, just like war bones will become stepping stones for strong bones. There are only use and orders between skeletons, without friendship and trust.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir, but as I said, I will always stand behind you." Lu Yan has another understanding of the relationship between skeletons. This instinctive attachment to power is actually a kind of trust between skeletons. , just like he believes that Karen Val is the only person who can bring him back to the Skull Continent alive, just like he feels that Karen Val will not stop at the small bone level, so he will always follow this lizard-shaped warrior Bone, apart from being grateful, it is more because Karen Val, who has both strength and wisdom, will be a good umbrella.

"Whatever." Karen Waal waved his thick front paws, then put down a bone chess piece, and at the same time ate two of Lu Yan's upcoming chess pieces: "You are a very lucky guy."

"What does your lord mean?"

"The evolution of River Valley Village. On such a big battlefield, the opponent's magician set up more than a dozen firewalls, but you survived alone, and there is a dead human corpse on the wall to provide you with a living soul." Karen Val Shaking his head: "200 million ashes, you are the only one who won the first prize, do you feel lucky?"

"Lucky..." Lu Yan replied honestly. Looking back now, if it weren't for those red bone skeletons who climbed up the wall and hacked to death a bunch of militiamen, he might have died in Alec's hands.

"There is also that kind of elemental defense array, not to mention the strong bones, I don't think even Master Rider can handle it, but you broke it, do you think you are lucky?"

"It's so lucky." Lu Yan pressed down the chess piece and ate one of Karen Val's chess pieces. He began to feel the fun of this small game.

Karen Wahl said more and more vigorously: "And according to you, that Zama is very strong today?"

"Very strong, to put it bluntly, under normal circumstances, adults may find it difficult to defeat him."

Karen Val didn't care about Lu Yan's bluntness at all, he waved his paw excitedly: "So I said, such a strong prairie warrior actually drank your bath water and was pierced by you in the head, you You’re just a red bone, at most you can fight an old farmer who is hoeing the ground, but you killed the prairie warrior, do you think you’re lucky?”

"It's really lucky." Lu Yan was embarrassed by what Karen Val said.

"And just now, Battle Bone, you, a red bone, actually killed Battle Bone, I've never heard of this."

"That's your work, my lord..."

"Don't talk about me, my black sand didn't work at all. It was your bone that stabbed him. Don't you feel lucky that you, a red bone, have such strong bone skills?"

Lu Yan said, he didn't know what it meant for Karen Val to put so many "lucky hats" on his head.

"I see." Karen Val suddenly became serious: "You may be the legendary skeleton with black blood."

"Bloodline?" Lu Yan was stunned: "My lord, do our skeletons still have blood?"

"That's just a metaphor, borrowing a metaphor from those dirty human beings." Karen Waal made a chess piece, destroying all the good situation arranged by Lu Yan: "There are some special guys among the skeletons, and they have bones that linger Soul, can be reborn every time after death, and become stronger, this kind of skeleton is called to have black blood, once they grow up, they will become characters that make the whole continent tremble."

"Oh, great, but I'm not."

"No, the black-blooded skeletons won't think of the past quickly after they are reborn, so your judgment will be invalid." Karen Val suddenly put her hand on Lu Yan's head: "Your strength has grown too fast, which makes me A little worried."

Lu Yan felt a numbness in his skull. Could it be that Karen Val was afraid that his strength would grow too fast, so he wanted to kill himself?His right arm swayed slightly, and the urge to fight before death reappeared in his bones, but he knew that he could not be Karen Val's opponent.

"Make a soul union contract with me, so that I don't have to lose a good subordinate, and you don't have to fight for the third time today." Karen Val's words instantly disintegrated Lu Yan's murderous aura.

"United soul contract?"

"Yes, the agreement between the bones." There was a hint of cunning in Karen Val's words: "After this agreement is reached, I will never kill you. Unless you agree, I will die with you. Of course, you can't kill me either." I."

"My lord, are there any other side effects?"

"Uh, there are some other trivial effects, but it's better to sign the contract first, and time is running out."

Although Lu Yan sensed the hidden information in Karen Val's words, he couldn't force him if Karen Val didn't say anything, and he had no doubt that if he refused, the seemingly easy-talking Karen Val would definitely kill him , This kind of decisive spirit can be seen in the assassination of Uhtred.

"Okay, I agree."

Karen Val smiled slightly, as if he had expected that Lu Yan would agree, he began to recite an ancient and long mantra, and the strange croon echoed in the small dark canopy.

Lu Yan had never seen a skeleton who could recite spells like a magician. He felt that this Karen Val was not simple. Maybe Karen Val himself was the skeleton with black blood.

"...Loyal Red Bones, are you willing to form a soul-bonding contract with me, Karen Val, and never betray you again?" Karen Val ended his spell, and a ray of red light appeared on the tip of his claws, Pointing directly at Lu Yan's eyebrows.

"I am willing, Master Karen Val." Lu Yan replied very straightforwardly. As far as he knew, once the red bone was selected by the war bone, it could not be separated. The taste of unnecessary.

The red glow from Keren Val's fingertips sank into Lu Yan's body, and then Lu Yan felt his head heat up, and a white light flew out from between his eyebrows and poured into Karen Val's body.

The contract is completed.

"End?"

"It's over, my loyal redbone." Karen Val would believe in loyalty now.

"My lord, can you tell me the subsidiary effect of the contract?" Lu Yan asked cautiously.

"Hey, it's nothing more." Karen Val replied with a smile: "It means that after the signing of the soul union contract, the relationship between the two of us will be permanently fixed, that is, if I have not reached the level of strong bones, you are Fa Jin Tier becomes the bone of battle and I sit on an equal footing."

cheating!The anger in Lu Yan's heart, isn't Karen Val going to be on his head forever?

But Karen Waal's next sentence immediately turned all of Lu Yan's annoyance into ecstasy: "However, in order to compensate for this fixed relationship, the joint soul contract will prevent me from absorbing the living soul from you, and take the soul I gained in the battle. 10% of the living soul will be passed on to you!"

Lu Yan is much smarter than ordinary red bones. He knows what it means. In battle, red bones will get half of the soul intake of all gray bones under him, and battle bones will get half of the soul intake of all red bones under him. , higher level skeletons also follow this rule.

After signing the soul union contract, not only will Lu Yan no longer provide living souls to Karen Val, but he will also get 10% of Karen Val's living souls at the same time. Ten of them are supplying half of the living souls to Lu Yan, and his upgrade speed will be increased by 100 times!

"Use your loyalty to me in exchange for my cultivation of you, this is the essence of the soul union contract!" Karen Val placed a chess piece in front of the ecstatic Lu Yan and ate his last chess piece: "The future will be long , your chess skills need to be improved."
