Our family is in decline

Because we avoided busy areas like the central square, we took them on a detour.

After leaving the town, they wanted to let them ride in a carriage, but these people didn't say anything, so they could only guess based on the reaction of the legion that the carriage could only seat four, and there were ten of them, and they were fully armed. .

The wide carriage can accommodate more people, but it seems that they don't quite believe Hamlet.

So they could only march slowly. Anyway, they were tireless, but it was hard work for the leader who led the way. They walked all night to arrive, and now they were finally relieved.

"Let's go and notify..."

The news of the legion's appearance has already spread internally until the cause is analyzed, and now they are going to report on the situation along the way.

In fact, the connection between the legion and the heritage of the ancient empire or the treasure was really not their fault. They were even a little confused as to why the adventurers reacted so strongly...

Before the day was fully lighted, the legion rushed into the ruins, and behind them were many people who wanted to get information about the treasures of the ancient empire from the legion.

Regarding this situation, the guarding soldiers warned the adventurers, but no one listened at all. On the contrary, they still doubted whether Hamlet wanted to monopolize the treasure.

The soldiers said nothing and allowed these guys to enter the darkness.

Regardless of their identities or other circumstances, they followed them all, even the scavengers.

In the dim environment, it was difficult to see clearly what was happening ahead.

The people following the legion only heard noises from the front. When they got closer, they discovered that only broken bones were left on the ground. It was obvious that those skeletons could not stop the legion's progress.

It can be said that the guy following behind had a smooth journey! Unobstructed!

But the speed of the legion's advance was too fast, and the skeletons were endless. The frontal ones were cleared by the legion, but these alarmed monsters came from both sides at a speed never seen before during the day.

Just because the legion can crush skeletons doesn't mean that the guys following them can do the same, but just a little obstruction cuts off the connection between those people and the legion.

Initially, they didn't pay much attention to it. In their impression, skeletons were slow and fragile, but those who followed soon discovered that the skeletons that had lost the suppression of sunlight became fast and ferocious.

The evil force shrouded the skeleton showing indescribable tenacity. The sword would even get stuck and bounce off, let alone cut off, if it fell on it.

As for the strike weapons, it is difficult to break them apart. Even if they fall to the ground, they will get up.

Skeletons swarmed up, chasing the breath of the living. Although they had no weapons, countless pairs of ghost hands clawed at them. The horrifying scene was enough to penetrate most people's sanity.

Not to mention the evil aura attached to those bones, corroding their bodies and souls upon contact, and the corruption continued to deepen.

Their eyes were blinded by greed, and they completely forgot that there were some places they could come to, and some places they couldn't enter, especially those scavengers.

The small team of scavengers who cut off from the boy and thought they were favored by the goddess of luck were also among these people. They came with full excitement and expectations, ready to seize the treasure and reach the peak of their lives.

However, when the disaster struck, chaos instantly dispersed them. If they tried to stop them for a moment, they were hacked to death by crazy adventurers wielding weapons, and were even pushed out by strong mercenaries to use as shields.

The moment he touched the skeleton, he felt a chill penetrate his flesh and blood and hit his soul directly, as if he was about to be frozen and sluggish, but in fact, he had lost the ability to control his body.

No one cared about their cries for help and howling, and their emotions fell to the bottom in an instant, and fear and despair took away their souls.

"Ah! Run away!"

"Help me! Help me!"

"Don't push me..."

Just like their true portrayal, strong and armed mercenaries can still struggle and resist with weapons and armor.

But those scavengers had no ability to resist at all and were swallowed up by the frantic skeletons, leaving only wails and screams.

In fact, if they unite, they may not be able to persevere, but they were originally competitors. After the accident, they were forcibly driven together. Everyone wanted to hide inside, which accelerated the contraction, and the chaos further caused panic.

But they were like sardines in a can, unable to escape at all, because the breath of the living attracted more and more skeletons... Their way back was also cut off by the skeletons, and there was no way to evacuate.

Everyone began to forget about the so-called treasure, and they didn't even have time to regret breaking in. Some just--

Despair, fear, self-flagellation, paranoia, violence, madness...hell is artificially created.

Fortunately, this time period was originally early in the morning, and finally the sun slowly climbed up. When the light fell, the skeletons seemed to be suppressed and became less active, and their movements became a little slower.

At the same time, although the more conservative adventurers did not follow up, they were still afraid of losing the news about the legion. They rushed over as soon as dawn. When they saw the melee in front, they thought they had found something good, so they charged forward with all their strength. !

The appearance of "reinforcements" shared their pressure, but after they rushed in, they discovered that not to mention anything good, all that was left behind were dead bodies on the ground, and those adventurers who were frightened and almost crazy.

As for the legion, it has long since disappeared into the ruins...

On the sentry tower on the edge of the ruins, Disma took back his telescope and handed it to others, cursing.

"What a bunch of fucking losers! If you don't have the strength, how can you imitate others? You have to wipe their butts again."

Hamlet's hero had already received the news and came here to wait and see. When the sun tore through the darkness, he seemed to understand the situation on the front line.

The lord warned them repeatedly not to kill too many people, and they had been warned about how ferocious the skeletons were at night, but no one listened.

You are both good and fun-loving, so what are your strengths and abilities?

"Let's go, let everyone bring more zombie spores, otherwise there won't be enough."

Barristan should be practical. The most important thing is to remove the bodies as soon as possible and not affect the lord's plan.

"Those are not living people, they are just bodies bound by curses." Alhazred was also among them. He had been staying here, and when he heard about the ancient empire legion, he came out curiously to have a look.

While the other adventurers were already rushing forward, Scorpion and the others were also watching.

"Why are you looking at this, captain? When are we going up?"

"They have all disappeared. It will be too late if we don't get there."

"hold on."

The urging from his teammates did not affect Scorpion's mood, and he even had time to look at the bulletin board next to the sentry tower.

There were some more announcements on the screen, and Xie Zi glanced at them briefly and understood that they were talking about the prisoners who were punished yesterday.

Warn everyone not to kill each other. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. At the same time, they support reporting and focus on cracking down.

It may be able to shock some people, but never underestimate greed and ambition, especially when news of the treasures of the ancient empire comes out.

He has no interest in this kind of thing, because as a famous mercenary group, unlike those robbers and bandits, the sunk cost is too high.

Of course, if the benefits were big enough, he wasn't sure whether he would waver...

Then the shouts of the team members brought his attention back again.

"Captain and the others are back!"

"What's going on? Why was he disabled?"

"It seems that all the scavengers who followed us are gone..."

At this time, the team members saw the adventurers who had withdrawn in large numbers, and then they understood why the group leader did not follow them. They complained about this, but now they just feel amazing.

"Captain, how do you know something is wrong?"

"Because we just left yesterday and those people from Hamlet followed us, but those people just now didn't move at all and went straight up to the sentry tower."

Scorpion is still old-fashioned, and he was impulsive just now, but when he came here, he saw the legion rushing into the darkness, and those Hamlet people turned around and left, and immediately calmed down and chose to wait and see.

In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that there are really not many strong people in the first wave, and those who are strong are basically waiting and watching.

On the contrary, retail investors or young people rushed forward en masse, and now the result is obvious, they are out.

"Come on, it's our turn to go up now."

Scorpion led the mercenary group up and resumed the same path as yesterday.

I was originally worried about getting into an endless battle, but it was obvious that those idiots had attracted all the skeletons on the periphery of the ruins.

Scorpion and the others did not stop for a moment, and passed directly by a place where the man was hoisted up. The high platform avoided contact with the wandering skeletons, but it was obvious that he was dead.

No one knew what he had gone through. There was no obvious trauma, but his eyes were wide and protruding, and his twisted and hideous face seemed to be frightened to death.

They couldn't untie the person and do a proper autopsy, but they could tell that something was wrong with this place at night.

"It's so fucking evil..."

"There are a few more ahead, let's take a look and talk."

As the team moved forward, almost everyone they encountered died. No one was spared. No one knew what happened last night, but it was enough to make them vigilant.

Scorpion and the others passed by a place where they found the plunderers, but this time they did not avoid them, but took the initiative to approach them, and then found the remains that had been chewed down to only the skeleton.

"It's rat tracks."

"Are you saying the rat ate him?"

"One more thing, it's eaten alive. Look at the signs of struggle. Dead people don't struggle."

"Oh~ damn! I just had breakfast."

"Also, look at these, the skeleton remains of rats, which means they also eat them themselves."

“Are rats like this elsewhere?”

There is no doubt that asking this question shows how evil this ghost place is. Even the rats are full of aggression.

Scorpions are much calmer and can suddenly make a point when others are struggling with these issues.

"I feel like we need to accept sleeping with rats at night."

Everyone looked over following these words, and as their eyes widened, they could see the shadowy skeletons among the ruins of the building in front of them.

It seems that the density is similar to yesterday, which means that the skeletons filled the cleared area again in just one night.

It seems that they were too optimistic just now. Not to mention the melee just now, I am afraid that even with so many people all day yesterday, it seemed that there was not much consumption at all.

This situation has given a reminder to all those who want to truly obtain the ruins and treasures, that is, they cannot withdraw, otherwise they will have to waste time entangled with those skeletons.

But staying in the ruins overnight... after all, this means that the back road is surrounded, which is a great test of the ability to continue combat.

Especially when I think of the tragic situation of those people just now, no one knows whether they can bear it.

The silent pressure is like a boulder pressing on those team leaders. What decision should be made to achieve the best interests? How can I be faster than others?

"We need to be ready to set up camp."

Scorpion is still ambitious, and he is not willing to just wander around in the periphery. After the mercenary union's promotion mission failed, he urgently needs to do something big to revive the reputation of their mercenary group.

He is still very ambitious and is willing to take certain risks and choose a radical approach. Only in this way can he wash away the humiliation and lead the mercenary group to become bigger and stronger.

Those teammates didn't say anything. This kind of trust is impossible for those improvised teams.

While Scorpion and the others were working hard, news of the great defeat quickly spread back to the town. After hearing this, the mendicant monk immediately spoke to the priest.

"You see, I'm just saying that this matter is not that simple. It's all the lord's conspiracy."

"But according to what you said, monk, they advocated the treasures of the ancient empire in order to attract more people, but then why do they have to advise those people? And wouldn't it be beneficial to us to cause these casualties?"

"Let's go rescue people now. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense." The mendicant monk also reacted and directly ignored the facts.

There were not many casualties yesterday, but now that there are such heavy casualties, it is time for me to perform a miracle on my own. Now there is nothing strange about the mess.

Pastor Ranzhu did not express any objection to this.

The mendicant monk walked towards the injured with a compassionate look on his face and exerted his sacred power on them under the light of the morning light.

The serious injuries of the escaped adventurers were quickly treated, and they saved their lives. They thanked the monks and praised the holy light.

The church duo also managed to win over many people by treating the injured. Now they were finally starving and no longer had to pick up garbage.

Therefore, for the church to be able to achieve what it is today, apart from religious bonuses, divine magic is indeed a very important means.

News of the same defeat also reached the ears of the young man who was preparing to leave the town.

"Brother, big brother, they are all dead."

"I have already advised them."

The young man was not too surprised. He had obviously seen through it already and turned around and walked towards Hamlet.

After a few chapters of subplots, and everyone seems to dislike it, let’s return to the main plot in the next chapter.
