I was not the only one trembling, but also the little fox. When I looked down, I saw that her face was pale. In front of that mountain-like skeletal dragon, her whole body was as cold as if she had completely lost her breath. The mere power was enough to overwhelm her. She couldn't move.
I quickly hugged her tightly, pressed her under me, and used the Holy Moon Wolf to resist part of the pressure, which made the little fox feel better, and her nose gradually started to tremble.
"So... so strong, what exactly is..."
"Hmm, the most powerful person in the world."
I retracted the half of my protruding head. Although the strange synthetic skeleton dragon didn't seem to have that high level of perception, at this level, everything cannot be described with common sense. It's better not to look at it. Even better, the breath and breath should be hidden as much as possible.
That's right, this giant skeletal dragon is actually the most powerful person in the world. We encountered such a monster as soon as we arrived at the edge of the central zone!
"No wonder..." The little fox took a long breath and finally calmed down.
"No wonder it's difficult to breathe. I've seen your bear-man transformation before, but I didn't expect that the difference in coercion brought by just one level is so huge."
"That's because I regard you as a teammate, so your sense of pressure is not that strong."
I'm not happy about what the little fox said. The cosplay bear is also very powerful, okay? Even if I run out and fight with the giant skeletal dragon now, it's no problem. Although I definitely can't win, the other party can't even think of killing me. The same is true. In the extreme realm of the world, there are levels of strength. From my perception, the strength of this giant skeletal dragon is much inferior to that of the ruler of Death Forest.
"But." After a pause, in order to avoid the little fox from making cognitive errors, I still sought truth from facts and explained it carefully.
"After all, I have reached the world's perfect level of combat power at the world's pinnacle level. There is still a little...well, a big gap between the power exuded by the opponent's actual world extreme level."
"Huh? It's really rare. I never knew that you, a bad guy, have such an honest side." The little fox stared at my face right in front of me, with a faint smile on his pale face. He suddenly raised his delicate lips and spoke like a dragonfly. Yuexianlang gave a gentle kiss on the cheek.
Alas alas? !
I was shocked. Didn’t you say you don’t like Saint Yue Xian Wolf? Why did you suddenly become bold?
"Reward, honest reward." The shy little fox's pale face turned a lot more rosy.
"Just treat it like this." After thinking about it, I also laughed. Maybe it was a reward, but the little fox definitely wanted to do such a bold move to dispel the fear of the skeleton dragon in his heart.
"Laugh, what are you laughing at? I have never said that I hate the Holy Moon Wolf. As long as you have normal aesthetics, no one can hate the Holy Moon Wolf for no reason. I just hate being too close to it. I always feel awkward. , that kind of kiss just now was considered a friendly kiss." Seeing my smiling expression, the little fox pouted and explained dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, yes, yes." I responded nonchalantly and hugged the proud little sky fox tightly.
I never thought about letting the little fox like to be intimate with the Holy Moon Xian Wolf. Rather, it bothers me that she likes it. There are already negative examples of the sexy angel princess. Although Lily is good, But you can watch it from a distance but don't play with it.
It took more than half an hour before the figure of the giant skeletal dragon completely disappeared. I didn't even dare to touch it with my eyes. It was even more impossible for me to risk my life and use my mental power to observe. I didn't know what happened, so I could only Some screams were vaguely heard. They were probably those slow-running monsters, such as rotting mummies, who had either been trampled to death or chewed up.
Having said that, do the bones need to be eaten? In my mind, I imagined a scene of a skeleton drinking soup. It was poured from the mouth and flowed out from under the jawbone. The scene was not an ordinary joy.
After confirming that the giant skeleton dragon had gone far, the little fox and I dared to jump out from behind the stone and looked at the direction in which it was going, with lingering fears.
If you look closely, you can see that the little fox is dripping with sweat. She is obviously very frightened. As a junior adventurer in the world, it is not easy for her to withstand such a long time in front of the world's most powerful people. I think back then I The COSPLAY bear may not be much better than her in front of the ruler of the Dead Forest.
After resting for a while, and after our hearts had completely calmed down, we returned to the place where the giant skeleton dragon had stepped. The ground was covered with horrific corpses, either directly shocked to death by the pressure of the giant skeleton dragon, or died after sinking into the ground for five seconds. On the huge skeletal footprints six meters deep, the latter was even worse, being trampled into pulp.
The place where we were hiding happened to be stepped on by the giant skeleton dragon, and it had become a big pit. Fortunately, we acted decisively at that time, otherwise it would have been a fierce and fierce battle now.
Wiping the cold sweat from our foreheads, we now have a big problem before us.
First of all, it is certain that the giant skeleton dragon came from the central area, and maybe its territory is in front of it.
And then, obviously, it's now wandering around in the Hell Mountains.
"Perhaps this is not the first time it has done this. Could it be that we waited in the stronghold for several days without seeing our companions because of this giant skeletal dragon?" the little fox guessed, and his eyes fell on the giant skeletal dragon. The footprints he left were filled with deep fear.
In front of such an enemy, her speed was completely useless. After more than a month in the hell world, she felt such a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time, and it was also the first time she saw such a powerful enemy. No wonder this bad guy started At that time, I strongly opposed myself. With the speed that no one could match, I could travel all over the hell world. The previous idea seemed so ridiculous now, it was no different from sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
"Well, that makes sense, but generally speaking, a strong man like this won't leave his territory easily, even if there is no one in Hell Mountain who can threaten it."
"Maybe this giant skeleton dragon has a special personality?"
"No, haven't you seen the army of monsters fleeing in panic? If the skeleton dragon often did this, this place would have become a dead place long ago. How could there be such a huge number of monsters left?"
"That's true. Judging from the number, it's only recently that the Skeleton Dragon came to Hell Mountain. What is it for?" The little fox nodded and thought deeply.
"Maybe there is something in Hell Mountain that attracts it. There is no use in guessing about this kind of thing. Let's think about what to do next."
"Yes, the giant skeleton dragon has gone to make trouble in Hell Mountain. We will be in trouble if we want to cross. What if we encounter..." Recalling the power of the giant skeleton dragon, the little fox hugged himself and shivered again. .
As I said before, even if we cross Hell Mountain directly, under the best circumstances, it will probably take four or five days. With such a long journey and such a long time, we and the giant skeletal dragon wandering around in Hell Mountain The possibility of encounter is very high. Without the cover of the mixed hell army, it will be more difficult to hide in front of the skeleton dragon.
The little fox silently looked at the Saint Yue Xian Wolf who was deep in thought, waiting for a decision. There was no arrogance or unreasonableness at all. In front of an enemy of this level, the Saint Yue Xian Wolf's idea was quite convincing. , at least much stronger than her who had just stepped into the realm of world power and was still ignorant of this realm.
In the face of major issues of right and wrong, this little sky fox is undoubtedly very cute and will not act recklessly.
"How about this, how about we move on?" After thinking about it, I clapped my palms and said.
"Towards the center?" The little fox didn't seem surprised by my decision to commit suicide. Maybe she had also considered it.
"Well, a strong man at the level of the Skeleton Dragon is definitely the master of the area and cannot escape." Seeing that the little fox showed no objection, I relaxed my brows and explained eloquently.
"As the master of a region, it cannot break into other regions without permission, even if the masters of those regions are weaker than it. In the hell world, fighting at home has a great advantage. You should be aware of this, right?"
"That is to say, it is probably its territory in front?" The little fox understood what I meant.
"Yes, now that the Skeleton Dragon has escaped from its territory, the most dangerous place has become the safest. We might as well abandon the Hell Mountain route and cross it from its lair."
"Wait, let me take a look at the map." The little fox took out the map and looked at it, frowning slightly.
"It is possible to pass through the center, but we must pass through at least two areas before we can go around the center and return to the original route."
"There is no other way. It is better than facing the giant skeleton dragon that we are likely to encounter now."
I scratched my cheek, feeling helpless. There were not many exits in the long and narrow Hell Mountain. If the giant skeletal dragon was determined to wander here for ten and a half days, we wouldn't be able to move. I can say that the main thing is It's a little fox...
After a moment of silence, the little fox suddenly nodded: "Just do as you say."
"Hey, is it really okay? I thought you were going to say that I wanted to die again." I was a little surprised at the little fox's readily agreed.
"Crossing Hell Mountain now is the real way to seek death. Huh, even if you don't say it, I know that I am dragging you down, right? Okay, okay, I understand, there is no need to show such an expression, this Tianhu is very Are you a difficult person to talk to? Are you the kind of person who refuses to admit it even though he knows it’s his fault? It doesn’t matter if you tell the truth.”
"Really?" I looked cautiously: "I think those things just now are secondary. The reason that makes me most uneasy is that you have a relatively strong self-esteem."
In the end, I was bitten. Really, I could tell the truth, but I was a big fool for easily believing what a woman said.
Now that the little fox has spoken out, I no longer need to be secretive.
"That's right, if I were alone, even if I was discovered by the Skeleton Dragon, I would still be able to break through Hell Mountain from under its nose. It would not be possible if I included you. The pressure of the Skeleton Dragon alone would be enough to defeat me. You can't move, there's no way I can hold you while dealing with the entanglement of the giant skeleton dragon."
"So this is the only choice left?" The little fox understood, but still looked unhappy. Although she was very arrogant, she was occasionally honest. She was also very cute, and I couldn't help but want to hug her and touch her. Her head and fox ears comforted.
"Of course, it is also a way to find a place to wait until the skeleton dragon returns to its territory before we cross Hell Mountain. But I don't think that after the skeleton dragon makes such an abrupt move of leaving its territory, it will It’s easy to go back in a short time.”
"Well, then I'll do as you say." Rolling up the map and putting it away, the little fox's eyes gradually became firmer, looking towards the direction deep into the center of the country, seeming to be ignited with fighting spirit.
"Don't worry, I will protect you." I firmly promised the little fox's soft little hand.
"Hmph, saying such words like that of the Holy Moon Wolf is so disgusting." With a proud mouth, the little fox's cheeks still had a beautiful blush.
This is obviously the territory of the Skeleton Dragon that connects to the entrance to Hell Mountain. We can’t stay too long. After deciding on the next route, we no longer hesitated and ran all the way in the direction in which the Skeleton Dragon came. Due to objective reasons, I was still forced to break into the center area, although it was only the peripheral area.
The terrain gradually became flat, and the undulating mountains turned into gentle hills, and finally turned into a flat river. It seemed that from here on, we had officially stepped into the central area.
Yes, our feelings about this realization are very strong, so strong that our faces are full of regret. If there is another choice, we promise to turn around immediately.
I had noticed before at the junction of Hell Mountain and the Central Area that the surface of the earth was gradually being replaced by a kind of brittle [gravel]. As we crossed the junction and came to the Central Area, the size of these gravels became larger and larger. The bigger it is, the more complete shape it quickly takes on.
What kind of gravel is this? These are clearly pieces of bones! The so-called [gravel] at those junctions are just relatively broken bones blown over by the wind.
After we stepped into the vast plain, the ground was almost covered with large and small pieces of bones, including skulls, leg bones, hand bones, ribs, and vertebrae. As long as you spend a little time looking for them, you can find them. Easily piece together the complete skeleton of any monster.
At the beginning, we could still tiptoe around to find the exposed surface in the sea of bones to walk on, excluding psychological factors. This is also because walking on the pile of bones will make a rustling sound, which can easily attract monsters, even assassins. It's unavoidable, and this especially makes the little fox unhappy. Can an assassin who makes noise when walking still be called an assassin?
But soon, not only me, but also the little fox also gave up the fragile assassin in her heart, and stepped onto the pile of bones resigned to her fate. The rhythm of rustling, rustling, and jumping left and right could not be stopped.
Looking at the entire sea of bones, apart from bones, there is no other place for us to step on...
