In the dark forest, countless white bone spears were shot out, the tips were sharpened, the arms, shins... Like some kind of terrifying skeletal carnival, they shot straight towards Ma Wei and others.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
Lai Wen shouted, while steadying the irritable horse under him, he used his cane to deflect the bone spear that hit his face. After learning from Daniel for several months, he has already mastered the palace swordsmanship and can completely deal with some emergencies. .
The sudden shot of the bone spear caught everyone off guard. Even Yunia was not able to detect the enemy's presence in advance. Instead, the horse beneath her sensed the danger and stopped in advance.
Many monks failed to dodge the bone spears that were fired at them. The protective barrier attached to the body blocked the attack for them. The bone spears did not seem to have extraordinary power. Ma Wei raised his hand and pulled out the white spear stuck in the tree. The spear, during observation, was found to be a weapon ground from bones. It was ordinary and not magical.
The enemy launched an attack, which proved that his actions had been exposed. There was no point in continuing to cover up. Ma Wei thought for a moment and shouted without looking back:
"Kovalev! Flares!"
boom!
A flare passed through the dense jungle and flew high into the sky, emitting a dazzling light like daylight. The entire forest was instantly illuminated by the light.
The darkness was driven away, and in the depths of the forest, standing white bones appeared. They were hiding behind the trees, with green flames flashing in their eye sockets. They had no clothes on their bodies, and their feet were full of scattered bones, from humans and animals. Miscellaneous bones are overlapped and spread flat on the forest land, as if they are being dried.
Lai Wen's eyelids twitched: "Is this...the undead tribe?"
"No, it should be the undead." Ma Wei said solemnly.
In the Catalog of Alien Beasts, under the category of the undead, there are two major branches, one is the undead - the undead tribe, and the other is the undead - the undead tribe.
The biggest difference between the undead and the undead is that the former do not require flesh and blood, while the latter must be parasitic on some kind of object to exert their power. Since the undead occasionally parasitize on bones, people mistake the undead for the undead. Over time, Many people think that the undead and the undead are the same kind of existence, but they are not.
Ma Wei judged that the bone monsters in front of him were the undead because they used bone spears without magic. This backward weapon can only be used by the undead. No matter how strong or weak the undead are, they will apply various magics on their weapons. , this is their innate ability, and the lower-level members of the undead cannot use magic at all.
The biggest similarity between the undead and the undead is that they both escaped the judgment of death. The soul seducers of the kingdom of death took away the souls of the undead, but their bodies were reborn with spiritual intelligence, while the undead were more pure. Usually it is condensed from the souls that the seducer failed to take away, and it needs to appear under specific conditions.
"Immortal?!"
Jie Lan, who was following Edward, heard the name and suddenly became excited: "Father, will these bone monsters condense soul obsidian after they die?"
The soul obsidian that can only be condensed after the death of the undead is one of the important materials for the advanced magic potion 'Mercury Blood'. Jielan has always been thinking about it, and now...it really happened to him.
"Yes, whether it is the undead or the undead, soul obsidian will be condensed after death. The higher the undead, the higher the quality of the condensed soul obsidian, and the more powerful the potion effect will be. But... "
Before he finished speaking, Jie Lan rushed into the formation of bone monsters and began to slaughter them crazily.
"Boss, what couldn't you say just now?" Lai Wen asked doubtfully.
"However, the lowest level undead we encountered are usually forcibly awakened by a higher-level undead, or are artificially created, and cannot condense soul obsidian."
Ma Wei glanced at Edward, who was silent next to him, and added: "And the undead are the natural enemies of the vampires. All the methods of the vampires have no obvious effect on the undead. On the contrary, the magic of the undead will cause harm to the vampires." Great influence, natural restraint.”
"Ah!" Yunia, who was cracking melon seeds, said in surprise: "Dad, aren't Brother Roland and Brother Joseph in danger?"
"Maybe that's why they didn't come back." Ma Wei nodded.
Roland and Joseph, as the next generation vampires, possess very powerful power, which is enough to deal with ordinary extraordinary creatures. Beings like Edward, the master of a certain extraordinary race, are definitely not something they can deal with. The power gap is too big. It has nothing to do with race.
Against extraordinary creatures whose strength is lower than that of Edward, Roland and Joseph can escape even if they cannot crush them. The vampires are naturally powerful, and any existence with flesh and blood is restrained by them. Only the immortal... is Their biggest nemesis!
This time, Roland and Joseph happened to crash into the undead's lair.
Just like some people have been cautious all their lives and only took one risk at the end, and that time became the end of their lives.
Who can say for sure about luck?
After the initial chaos, the monks of the Aurora Society quickly stabilized their position and used thunder spears to start cleaning up the low-level undead in the surrounding area. Every time the lightning flashed, a white bone would turn black and disintegrate, and his eyes would flicker. The fluorescent green also dimly disappeared.
It didn't take long for Jie Lan and others to completely clear away the low-level undead in front. Densely packed bones lay across the front. The flares above their heads were gradually extinguished. The forest returned to deathly silence and darkness struck again.
Jielan was not happy that he failed to harvest the soul obsidian. He thought about it and rummaged through the skulls on the ground, trying to find even one soul obsidian inside, but he was still disappointed.
Not a single one.
"We are only in the middle of the forest, and there are already so many low-level undead. It seems that after they woke up, they have almost occupied this forest." Ma Wei took the map and judged their location. : "The base camp of the undead is inside, keep moving forward!"
"keep going!"
The horse refused to move forward, snoring irritably, and hesitated at the edge of the Bone Zone, refusing to take a step. In desperation, Ma Wei had no choice but to give up the horses, tie them to a tree, summon the Pegasus, and continue moving forward. .
call!
The white Pegasus crossed the sky and fell like a shooting star. Its whole body shone with dark blue starlight. It was as beautiful as a unicorn from a fairy tale. Because there was no reins, it could only hold the horse's mane, and it was uncomfortable to sit up. , like some kind of hard stone with sharp edges. The advantage is that it is fast and can fly.
After switching to the Pegasus, everyone's speed suddenly increased. Under the quiet night sky, dark clouds gathered and there was no starlight. The entire forest was like a black hole swallowing light. Nothing could be seen clearly. Everyone moved forward in the dark and gradually went deeper into the jungle.
Perhaps because they sensed Yunia's aura, no one encountered any danger on the way. Lower undead would attack them, but that doesn't mean higher undead would do the same. It's natural to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Wei and others did not launch an attack. They were passing by in the sky, more like passers-by passing through the forest than enemies. It was normal that the undead did not continue to attack.
But the strange thing is that Ma Wei and others rode Pegasus and walked back and forth several times in the middle of the forest. Neither Junia nor Edward sensed the breath of extraordinary power. Instead, it was the 'Demon Spirit Wooden Box' in Ma Wei's arms. It keeps buzzing and vibrating, sometimes strong, sometimes weak...
"stop!"
High in the sky, Ma Wei raised his arms and led everyone to stop.
He held the Demon Spirit Wooden Box, and after many tests, he determined that the place under his feet was the place that caused the most intense vibrations in the wooden box.
"Kovalev!"
"yes!"
boom!
A flare shot high into the sky, and the white light suddenly became bright, illuminating the quiet forest below.
Everyone fell to the ground, and the magic wooden box shook even more violently, buzzing non-stop. Ma Wei looked around and found nothing strange. The forest was still a forest, except that there was no trace of life, and it was eerily quiet. Other than that, no undead appeared.
The Demonic Wooden Box has issued an early warning, proving that there must be powerful magic fluctuations around it. Yunia and Edward did not sense it. It may be because the enemy used some kind of magic that blocks perception, but there is a treasure hunt sealed in the Demonic Wooden Box. The demon's soul and the magic that blocks perception may have no effect on it.
"Not on the ground, not in the sky..."
Amid the murmur, Ma Wei took two steps back, looked at the ground beneath his feet, and gradually narrowed his eyes.
underground!
Yes....
The undead they encountered in the middle of the forest were not so much an ambush as they were some kind of caretakers or workers. At that time, human and animal bones were neatly placed on the ground, as if they were drying in the dark and humid underground. It definitely won’t dry out, so I had to run to the ground!
And those low-level undead...are here to guard the bones being dried!
The real lair of the undead is underground!
After listening to Ma Wei's analysis, Lai Wen turned to look at the forest: "Boss, should we spread out and look for the entrance?"
"Need not."
Ma Wei held his daughter's little hand and took out the Siren's Tears from his arms: "There is a faster way."
The gems bloomed with dazzling light, and the earth trembled violently. The soil seemed to come alive and began to squirm, moving with the trees, as if sesame seeds were opening. A huge and deep gap opened in the ground, and the light of the flares shot into the ground. Countless... The white-bone monster raised its head and looked at the roof of his house that had been lifted off. His face was expressionless, but the flickering green fire in his eyes burned more intensely.
Ma Wei's guess was correct. In the center of the forest, there was an extremely huge underground space. The undead dug out the ground and built a huge pyramid-like building. The low-level undead use their hands to dig the soil, working hard like slaves; many death knights riding on bone horses and wearing armor patrol around with spears and iron swords, they are overseers; on the upper level of the giant tomb-like pyramid, several people wearing The bones of human servants kneel on the stone steps, their jaws clicking as if they are praying; on the lower level of the pyramid, there are the bones of giant bears and spotted deer one after another. They raise their heads and look towards the horses. Wei and the others roared silently, their eyes filled with green fire and anger.
If the giant skeleton bears, death knights and devout prayers are just high-level undead, then the majestic figure sitting on the skeleton throne at the top of the pyramid must be their king!
The king of the undead!
