Chapter 559: The Secret of Darkness

More than ten days later, after going through a lot of hardships, I finally arrived in front of the sky of death as the Elf Queen. Compared to the past, our team was missing Gai Ci. He is now happily soaking in the Magic Spring in the Moon Well, enjoying the magic massage of several elemental elves. It is very comfortable. The Elf Queen said that when our journey in the Elf Queen ends, it will be almost done to pick him up.

So we shouted, we had to put the Gads down and then the large army continued to go on the road. In the past ten days, we did not rush to the place directly, but continued to follow the original plan and strive to miss any opportunity to find good things. Unfortunately, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

We went to several places in vain and found nothing. We were depressed and depressed! But thinking about it, if we could get good things when we could go back, the Elf Forest would be renamed the Treasure Forest. After all, there are still few good things in the world. But now, gaga, we who come to the Undead Castle will definitely gain a lot.

After leaving the big house, we found that the place we were on was the top of a small hill, and we could look down at the sky of death in front of us. We saw that more than a hundred meters away, a layer of rolling smoke was shrouded on the ground. The smoke was more than a hundred meters high, like a carpet, laid on the vast earth.

As if bound by something, the black smoke only rolls in one range, but does not mean to spread around. Despite this, within a distance of a hundred meters from the black smoke area, there is no grass growing, obviously affected by the toxins emitted by the smoke. After leaving this range, the lush elf forest still exudes vitality.

Wangyou's eyes were like lightning. After a careful scanning of mental power, he immediately found something wrong and said to us: "It seems that the elf queen told us that the cover of the sky of death is about hundreds of miles, right? Why did the mental perception tell me that this black smoke can be at least a radius of thousands of miles?"

"So did my senses!" Li Ruoya said solemnly.

"Nothing is it strange?" I smiled and said, "The last time the elves came here two or three thousand years ago, right? For such a long time, can the undead lich expand its territory?"

"Why is it as simple as you said?" Wangyou smiled and said, "The sky of death requires a lot of bones. Although it is not worth it, it is also a kind of consumption after all. If it is unnecessary, who would like to make such a big noise? Generally, it is enough to maintain more than ten miles. If it is powerful, it will be killed if it covers a radius of dozens of miles. If it is hundreds of miles, it is a waste."

"Yes, I started to hear the Elf Queen say that the Death Sky is hundreds of miles here, and I thought she was bragging, but she didn't expect that she would say less!" Li Ruoya said, "I once went to the underworld because I wanted to chase a guy. It was the Death Sky there, which was only hundreds of miles of death sky. It was unimaginable that such a big deal costing thousands of miles. It would cost less than a dozen tons that day, right? Where did he do it?"

"I heard from the Elf Queen that the owners here are all lichs. I believe there will be a way to freely travel between the underworld and this plane. There must be many bones in the underworld. If you choose casually, you won't have a pull!" I said of course.

"Haha. I knew you had never been to the underworld!" Li Ruoya smiled and said, "There are many bones in the underworld, but they all have masters. Do you think you can pick them up at will?"

"Have a master?" I said curiously: "What does it mean?"

"Most of the undead magic require bones as casting materials. Not only does the Death Sky require it, but also when summoning various undead creatures, and also when making various undead alchemy props. Therefore, bones are very important in the underworld. Generally speaking, the undead mages in the underworld use bones as circulating currency." Li Ruoya smiled and said, "Can you imagine the scene of gold coins on the continent for you to pick?"

"Ah? So that's how it is?" I smiled bitterly, "I saw Kerry just throwing out a lot of bones, and I thought this thing was like the woods in the underworld, and I could cut it off at will. However, I think it was very easy for him to pull the bones? More than a dozen tons of bones are no problem."

"But Kerry summons bones to consume magic power!" Wangyou smiled and said, "If you ask him to summon more than ten tons of bones every day to maintain the sky of death for thousands of miles, how long can he last?"

"Hehe!" I smiled awkwardly: "I am really not familiar with the death spells in the West. Those things are so disgusting."

"Although it's disgusting, it's very practical!" Wangyou sighed: "It's a ghost. The owner here does not hesitate to spend so much bone every day. He also wants to maintain such a big sky of death. It's definitely not just for fun. It's probably because of some special purpose."

"It's such a big place, with a radius of thousands of miles, it's probably not easy to find a castle, right?" I said with a wry smile, "Do you think of a simple solution?"

"It's better to disperse and look for it slowly!" Wangyou suggested: "You, me, Liruoya and Gao Sen. After we go in, search in four directions. Don't act rashly after finding it, and notify others to meet before talking."

"What about us?" Elena asked.

"You guys are not strong enough, and it's okay to fight head-on, but once you are attacked inside, it's hard to say that you can pull it off. No one should expect these undead to have any knight spirit." Wangyou said regretfully: "So you can stay outside first and let the Panda family protect you."

The girls didn't say anything, just pouting their mouths high, and they could hang oil bottles. Especially Xiangxiang looked aggrieved, and her big eyes flashed at me. If I didn't agree, she would come and rain.

"There is a huge poison in the thick smoke in the sky of death. Ailena doesn't care, but Ruolan and Xiangxiang are not the case, especially Xiangxiang. Naturally, the power of the goddess and the Goddess of the Underworld is completely opposite. One is born and the other is dead. If you go in, your strength can be reduced by at least half." Seeing that they were very aggrieved, I had to bite the bullet and start comforting him: "So you shouldn't go in, right? Next time, I will definitely ask you to go, ah!"

"Well, then okay, you have to be careful!" Ouyang Ruolan was the most sensible. Seeing that I was in a dilemma, she was the first to stand up and said, "Then we are waiting for your good news."

"Haha, I'll take care of this for you!" Wangyou handed the little monkey to Ouyang Ruolan and said, "It can't go either, let it play with you."

"Hehe! OK!" Seeing that things had come to this point, the girls stopped entangling and focused their attention on the little golden monkey.

After comforting them, I felt relieved and told the Panda family: "He helped me take care of my treasures, so I can't let anyone touch you. If you dare to make trouble, just kill me. Even if I kill God of Light, I will protect you!" I said shamelessly.

"Don't blasphemy!" Liruoya protested angrily.

"Haha, it's so fucking good, so happy! Head. I think you are cute for the first time! Haha!" Gao Sen said excitedly. The name he called me was originally the master, but I didn't like it, so he asked him to change it. So he kept calling me Head. Haha, I heard it very fresh, so I kept asking him to continue calling it.

I ignored their protests and praises, but directly instructed: "It is not clear whether the people inside are enemies or friends for the time being, but I don't want to bully anyone easily if I have nothing to do. This time I went in just to explore it. The best result is to make friends with the lich inside, so don't do anything easily with the people inside unless you need it. Do you know?"

"But undead creatures hate living things very much. Generally, the living people who break into their territory will be killed mercilessly. If they attack me, I can't help but hold on?" Gao Sen said dissatisfied.

"Confirm a principle. If they have the strength to hurt you and do have the intention to kill you, they can fight back. If they only have murderous intent but do not have the ability to hurt you, just let them go!" I smiled and said, "I can't hurt you anyway. Why can't I get along with some low-level undead creatures? That way, we seem so unquality!"

"Well, our proud and violent dwarfs are disdainful to fight with some weak people." Gao Sen nodded and said, "Then let's go?"

"Yeah. Let's go!" I gave the order, and then took the lead in rushing into the sky of death. Then the three of them rushed in almost together. After entering, we separated, each showing our magical powers and galloped in different directions.

Li Ruoya released a thin layer of light Dou Qi to protect her body, like a lonely lamp in the dark night, illuminating the thick smoke about a hundred meters around. This was the result of her deliberate restraint. Then she spread her six wings and flew quickly to the ground.

After Gao Sen entered, he took a deep breath. For him, the cursed body transformed by the God of the Underworld, this Death Sky is a top-notch tonic. In fact, he can basically be regarded as a dead creature, so he is very adaptable to the environment here. He can even see through the rolling smoke, as if nothing exists in front of him.

After Wangyou entered, he first added a composite magic shield to himself, and the shield flashed with colorful light to force the black smoke outside. Wina sat on Wangyou's shoulders, feeling very uncomfortable with the dark environment around him, and her little face turned pale. But Wangyou didn't care at all. With her spiritual perception, the thick smoke here wanted to block her vision was a joke, so she flew very quickly and was not worried about hitting something.

As for me, of course I was flying with my sword, wrapping myself with sharp sword energy, and excluding toxin black smoke. These black smokes were almost transparent in my eyes. With my eyesight, it would be no problem to see through them. If I only look at speed, I was naturally the fastest. With my current strength, I would fly away like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, I would go out far away.

In just a few minutes, I walked dozens of miles. Suddenly, I sensed that there were a lot of things moving ahead and thought to myself, it’s coming! So I used magic to hide my body and quietly approached there. After climbing over a small hill, I was stunned by the scene in front of me!

I saw a large area of ​​skeletons on a hillside of about a radius of 1,000 meters, mining there. They were obviously very organized, some were responsible for digging, and some were responsible for transporting ores without disturbing each other. The skeletons in charge of digging were picks made of steel. They were shining brightly, and you could tell at a glance that they were not made casually. The most important thing is that their standards were very unified, and they were obviously mass-produced.

As for the skeletons transporting ore, they are pushed by mine carts, four small wheels, with a large bucket on them, unique style and simple and practical shape. Each carts have several special skeletons in charge, some push carts, some load ore, divide the work and cooperate tacitly, so the efficiency is very high.

In a short while, you can see a truck full of ore being pushed to the distance by them. There are no supervisors in the entire mine, and there are all skeletons working. Each skeleton is a tireless worker, and no one is lazy. If there is no other sound in the big field besides the jingle mining sound, it looks particularly weird.

I looked at the surrounding environment again, and then I was shocked to find that the place they were digging was originally a hill of two or three hundred meters. At this time, half of the hill had been hollowed out, and the other half might not be the whole picture of it, perhaps just a small part of it. In this way, these skeletons must have worked here for a long time, and they actually dug up all the mountain.

Seeing this scene, I was shocked and understood something. The reason why the Death Sky covers such a large area is nothing more than to make these bones work. You must know that under the sunlight, these ordinary skeletons cannot survive for too long, let alone do such heavy work. Only under the nourishment of the Death Sky cover, these immortal creatures can continue to do this endlessly.

I thought, who is so big? He was able to invent the skeleton mining method and come up with mass production of pickaxes and mine cars for their use. It is really a genius. I believe that in a radius of thousands of miles, it is absolutely impossible for only one mining site. As long as there are more than a dozen ores, the ore produced will be worth more than a dozen tons, right?
