Chapter 721 The Skeleton King
Wu Yi turned around and found that the attack on him was actually two tall skeleton creatures. These two skeleton warriors were at least two heads taller than the skeleton soldiers summoned by Wu Yi, and were no less than the skeleton warriors. Wu Yi had to look up at them before she could see the blazing flames burning in their eyes, which was their soul fire.
These two skeleton warriors are not only tall, but also wearing white bone armor that wraps around their bodies. They are also holding white bone machetes. The fully armed skeleton warriors look majestic. Compared with the skeleton soldiers summoned by Wu Yi, they are simply ashamed of themselves. I don’t know when the skeleton soldiers will have such a mighty day.
Just as Wu Yi was looking at the two skeleton warriors and thinking about how to deal with each other, the two undead creatures did not continue to take action. Instead, they looked up and down in a humanized manner, put away the bone machete, slowly retreated to both sides, revealing a bone ladder behind them.
At this time, Wu Yi had the opportunity to carefully look at the surrounding situation. He found that this was a white bone plain. As he saw from the eyes, he was full of terrifying white bones, densely covered the ground. From Wu Yi's eyes, he could not see the edges. The thick white bones under his feet were piled up and there was no idea how thick they were, nor could he see the bottom. The sky of this white bone plain was covered with thick gray clouds.
On the White Bone Plain, there are all kinds of skeleton creatures wandering. Wu Yi once saw this scene in his own country of undead, but the white bones in the country of undead are far less spectacular and exaggerated than here. It is really an extremely shocking scene.
Behind these two skeleton warriors is a huge skeleton temple. The white bone staircase extends to the entrance of the skeleton temple. Next to each staircase, there are two skeleton warriors guarding each staircase. Judging from this situation, this skeleton temple is the most central and important building in the white bone plain.
Wu Yi, on the core platform of Tianji City, triggered the mechanism, and relied on the guidance of the mysterious amulet to teleport to this white bone plain. However, the landing point coincidentally landed at the entrance of the Skeleton Temple. Only then would he be attacked by the skeleton warriors guarding the Skeleton Temple.
However, after discovering that Wu Yi was a human rather than a demon, the skeleton warriors actually gave up their attack on Wu Yi and let go of the road to the skeleton temple. It seemed that they were very welcome to Wu Yi to walk up the skeleton stairs. The skeleton warriors on the skeleton stairs behind them had no reaction. There was no intention of blocking them.
Seeing this posture, Wu Yi felt strange and confused. Did the demons who invaded the core of Tianji City also teleported here? But no trace left by them could be seen at all. After thinking about it, Wu Yi finally stepped up the bone ladder. Since these skeleton warriors were posing in such a posture, he would not be weak. He was very interested in the things in the skeleton temple.
Wu Yi walked up the bone stairs step by step. He found that there were some broken marks on these stairs, not eroded by wind and rain, but caused by human attacks. Wu Yi even saw the scratches left by the sword. Wu Yi tried to step on the bone stairs hard, but found that with his strength, he could not shake it at all. Wu Yi suspected that if he used the double sword, only the iron-cutting skill could leave traces on it.
The seemingly fragile white bones are extremely strong. Wu Yi guessed that at least the bones of a leader-level creature were needed to form this bone ladder. The people who could cause damage to the bone ladder were also quite strong.
Wu Yi slowly walked to a higher place and found that in addition to being damaged, the bone stairs were stained with dark red blood. These dried blood stains fell on the bone stairs, causing some mottled spots to appear on the bone stairs, but it gave the bone stairs a little more vicissitudes of time and no longer seemed pale and powerless.
Wu Yi walked step by step to the top of the Bone Step, which is the real entrance of the Skeleton Temple, and also saw the full picture of this magnificent building. Like the Skeleton Temple, it is also made up of countless white bones, and there are bones of various creatures.
In the deepest part of the Skeleton Temple, there is a huge Skeleton Throne. All the Skeleton Throne is made of the skulls of various creatures, which look hideous and shocking, especially the two handrails of the throne, which use the skulls of two giant creatures. The sockets of these two skulls still retain the soul fire, burning wildly, as if they are still alive. One of the skulls has curved corners unique to the demons. Looking at the eyes of this skull, Wu Yi felt that his soul was about to be sucked in. Wu Yi quickly looked away.
A huge skeleton creature was sitting on the throne of skeleton, and a giant sword was inserted in front of the throne. The giant skull was wearing a crown on its head, and both hands were placed on the handrail of the throne. It gently stroked the demon skull, while looking at Wu Yi with interest.
King of Skeleton:????
Wu Yi could only obtain the name of this giant skeleton in his eyes, and no other information could be explored. Moreover, Wu Yi had an intuition that the name alone was deliberately made Wu Yi know. Facing the Skeleton King, Wu Yi had a heavy pressure on his body and heart, which was much greater than any strong enemy Wu Yi had encountered before. Wu Yi felt that the other party seemed to be able to kill him at will, but the other party did not make Wu Yi feel dangerous. The Skeleton King seemed to have no hostility towards Wu Yi.
"Human, are you teleported here from the core of Tianji City?" The voice of the Skeleton King roared in Wu Yi's ears.
Wu Yi had no intention of hiding it. He answered truthfully: "Well, after entering the core of Tianji City, I accidentally triggered the mechanism and was teleported here. Where is this? Wasn't the time and space around Tristram blocked by the sages? Even the high-level demons cannot tear the space through. Is this a secret realm in Tristram?"
"Secret Realm?" After hearing Wu Yi's words, the King of Skeletons laughed loudly, and his voice shocked the Skeleton Temple seemed to be shaking. After laughing, it continued to say: "This is not the Secret Realm of Drystrum. But its Shadow City, the land of the undead on the other side of time and space, was created by our master with a treasure of the undead. The two are actually one, so even if Drystrum's time and space are blocked, it is still unhindered to come here from Tianji City."
"The Land of the Undead? Shadow and Shadow City? Why have I never heard Kane mention it? Even Sister Ailee has never mentioned that there is such a place in Tristram." Wu Yi said.
The King of Skeleton said lazily: "Kane? Is the disciple of the old man Rune Sage? He is not qualified to know here yet. Only the twelve great sages in the entire Heratim organization have the right to know. Of course, Lord Ailly, as the master's teammate, naturally has the right to know. She didn't tell you. It was because under the guidance of fate, you naturally came back here, and she didn't need to mention it specifically."
"Why is the only one who has entered the land of the dead and my companions?" Wu Yi saw that the Skeleton King seemed easy to speak. He asked directly.
"You can come here because you have the evidence left by your master and the key to enter here. After the demon invaded Tristram's battle, the master restricted the passage between the land of the undead and the city of Tianji. Only by taking the beacons left by him can you enter the land of the undead. Otherwise, even if the demon lord comes, you will not be able to come here. Your companions will naturally not be able to come in without the evidence and key." The King of Skeleton explained patiently.
"Certification and key? Are you referring to this?" Wu Yi subconsciously took out the mysterious amulet on his body. During the previous teleportation, only this item emitted special fluctuations. Wu Yi couldn't help but think of it. Moreover, when Aili gave Wu Yi this thing, her tone was mysterious, which made Wu Yi always want to unravel the secret of this mysterious amulet. Judging from the current situation, it seems that she really has the chance to know some hidden truths.
When Wu Yi took out the mysterious amulet, the King of Skeleton showed such an expression. It looked at the mysterious amulet and said, "When you entered the land of the undead and landed at the gate of the temple of the bones, I felt a familiar aura. I didn't expect that as the master expected, someone would really hold this amulet to the land of the undead and complete that mission."
Wu Yi said in confusion: "Why am I unable to understand more and more? Can you explain what the situation is? I want to know the truth I can know."
After hearing Wu Yi's words, the King of Skeleton stood up directly. After standing up, it looked even bigger and almost reached the dome of the Skeleton Temple. After it straightened the crown above its head, it said: "My master is the captain of Lord Ailee. You should have heard Lord Ailee mention him."
Seeing Wu Yi nodding and admitting, the King of Skeleton continued to explain: "The Land of the Dead was opened by the master on this shadow with a treasure of the undead. It is only suitable for the survival of undead creatures. It was not widely publicized because of its great strategic purpose and it was not suitable for human habitation. Only the twelve great sages knew about it."
Wu Yi had heard from the King of Skeletons mention it, and he then listened to the King of Skeletons' explanation: "Later, after the Demon Invasion War, the master told us before leaving that he would hand over his amulet to Lord Ailie, let Lord Ailie wait for the person chosen by fate, and then hand over the amulet to him. The son of fate will naturally return here and fulfill his mission."
"I got Sister Ali's mysterious amulet, so I am the son of fate you mentioned? Come back here to fulfill your mission?" Wu Yi asked.
The King of Skeleton nodded and said, "Yes, you are the son of fate. Although I don't know why Lord Ailee chose you, as long as you get the mysterious amulet and enter the land of the undead, we kings in the land of the undead will not take action to hurt you. On the contrary, we will provide you with great help!"
"You mentioned the war of demons invasion before. I followed the footsteps of those invading demons and disappeared when I arrived at the core of Tianji City. Did they also enter the land of the undead? Now you have let me fulfill the mission I should shoulder, and are you asking me to eliminate the demons who invaded the land of the undead?" Wu Yi asked.
"Haha, just those high demons and demon lords? They are not qualified. After they entered the land of the undead, the master and us worked together to kill all the high demons. The two skulls on my skeleton throne were made up of the heads of two high demons. The other high demons have all become our collections. The guy who hated the king also integrated the corpses of several high demons into his body. There was even a high demon named Shadow of Nightmare and was tamed by the Dark King and became its mount." The skeleton monarch pointed at the skeleton throne behind him.
Wu Yi immediately understood that the two giant skulls on the handrail of the skeleton throne he had seen before were the skulls of the two high-level demons in the mouth of the skeleton king. Wu Yi observed carefully again and found that the skull with two demon horns on his head was probably a high-level demon called the sheep horn demon. This kind of demon is famous for a pair of demon horns on his head that resembles sheep horns. His commonly used weapons are huge hammers or sickles. He likes to use giant hammers to smash the enemy's head. Unexpectedly, his head eventually became someone else's collection.
Wu Yi could not tell what kind of demon it was on the skull of another handrail on the skeleton throne. After the explanation of the skeleton king, Wu Yi realized that this was a hell creature called the hell sandworm. This was a very large monster, which was specially hidden underground to launch sneak attacks and devour passing creatures. It was very difficult for this creature to cultivate to the higher level of demons.
Judging from this situation, the higher demons did encounter a devastating blow. Unexpectedly, the strength of the Skeleton King is so strong. It can be seen from the tone of the Skeleton King that this undead king is not the only one in this undead king. Like the Abominable King and the Dark King, they are all at the same level as the Skeleton King. It is their undead kings who cooperate with their masters that have left the lives of many higher demons.
Wu Yi withdrew his gaze that fell on the throne of the skeleton. He turned to look at the skeleton king and said, "What is the mission I must shoulder when you say that you have to do?"
The King of Skeletons did not directly answer Wu Yi's question. It looked up at the outside of the Skeletons Temple and said, "Don't worry, they also felt the breath left by their master, they were about to arrive."
Wu Yi said in confusion: "They?"
Then Wu Yi quickly reacted. He also looked up at the outside of the Skeleton Temple and saw several black dots falling from the sky and landing quickly outside the Skeleton Temple. The skeleton guards and skeleton warriors guarding the door of the Skeleton Temple were ignored and allowed to land. (To be continued...)
