Chapter nine hundred and sixty seventh bone lich
Outside the material world. ~,
In a large semi-plane, the violent four-element energy roared outside the plane, rippling with surging waves.
The starry sky seemed to be broken, and many twisted reflections could be seen.
There is no sun or moon, only a crystal light emits from the entire plane itself.
Layers of gray-white bones were piled on the ground. I don’t know how thick they were. Some white flowers climbed out from the hollow skull sockets and bloomed into beautiful buds.
Numerous plant rhizomes climbed on the bones, seemingly absorbing the nutrients of these corpses and surviving.
A strong wind blew, and many white petals rippled, as if a flower rain was falling. The layers of plants separated, revealing the skeletons on the ground. The entire plane was made of various skeletons.
Some of these skeletons are only the size of ordinary humans, while others are extremely short and have thick bones, which seem to come from halflings and dwarves, and even some other beast bones, which are extremely large and form hills.
This is the skeleton plane, a small semi-plane on the verge of breaking, hidden in the cracks of countless dimensions. It seems that no customers have been caring for for a long time.
Crack! Crack!
And at this moment, a slight cracking sound came from the ground, followed by a tremor.
Gulu! Gulu! A small mountain of skeleton collapsed, splashing a lot of smoke and dust. At the same time, a round head also rolled out from the crack in the ground.
This is a crystal clear human skull, with two deadly glowing balls of light fire in the eye sockets, and a dark layer of dead spirit lingering, emitting powerful fluctuations.
"Gala!Gala!"
The skull head also seemed a little blurred, and the teeth bite each other, making a sound of bone cracks.
"I have been sleeping for more than a thousand years..."
The skull's head emits a desolate tone, with a strong sense of ancient accent. Scholars who are not specialized in history will basically be confused.
"Crunch! Crunch!" The skull bit and seemed to spit out a piece of parchment or something from his mouth.
A layer of fluorescence flashes, projecting a large number of text and images in the air.
"The year when the elemental tide roars through. The moon when the crows cries, the time of the blood moon! The frost in the western desert falls into the canyon... the angle of the north cross star in the east!"
The faint fire in the skull's eyes became even more vigorous. It suddenly found a few equally crystal-like bones nearby, and slowly built their body.
"Floating City! The most peak achievement of the Arcane Age! Dimensional Fortress that can match the gods..."
The Skull Head said in a chanting tone. A large amount of black despair aura spread around it, forming a black cloak.
"That floating city must belong to me!!! Illyrio Pagsru's skeleton lich!!!"
A staff composed of many skeletons automatically came to the lich's hand, and the blood-red spherical gem at the top emitted a bloody light.
"Ho huh..."
The lich tapped the ground with his staff, and the surface cracked layer by layer, revealing the head of a huge creature.
It is dozens of meters long, with huge bone wings, and deformed and hideous double heads. The dazzling soul waves are running lightly in the skull. It is obvious that this is the favorite pet of all necromancers, a double-skull dragon!!!
"Hehehe... Let's go! Baby..."
The wind was howling, and the double-skull dragon waved its wings, carrying the skeleton lich on its back into a terrifying elemental storm.
The violent elemental storm seemed to calm down under the opponent's power, giving up a pitch-black passage.
The bone dragon roared and disappeared directly at the end of the plane...
And in several other places, some people also received news.
"The skeleton kingdom is moving abnormally? It seems that the lich has also awakened..."
"Is that guy Ilyrio... I haven't seen him for a long time. I should have calculated the last account with it..."
"Is the messenger of death, the lich of the bone? Interesting..."
Many secret divine thoughts flashed all over the world, and then they all turned their eyes to the skeleton kingdom.
Several of them seemed to have a goal, and set out directly to the western desert.
...
The hot sunlight shone directly into the sand dunes, venting waves of twisted air.
The moisture seemed to have been completely evaporated, and every breath seemed to inhale a large ball of flame.
The temperature at the surface of the desert is now close to its limit, and it can even torture people to death!
At first glance, the entire golden desert is a forbidden area for life. Even the scattered cactus on the outside completely disappeared, and there was no longer a touch of green embellishment.
"We have already gone deep into the desert. We must try our best to preserve our physical strength from now on, and we also need to make careful calculations for supplies and water... What's wrong? Ally. Are you still thinking about the dream that night?"
The leader's swordsman looked at the map in his hand and kept marking the distance on it.
When he looked up, he found that the female mage in the team was in a trance again and asked, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"No! It's much better...but the weather is really..."
Ally closed the hair behind her ears and felt the cracks in her skin. She sighed secretly in her heart.
After that dream, she never bothered her, but the harsh environment in the desert taught Ellie a very vivid lesson. Even with the protection of spells, the female mage now felt a little overwhelmed.
The swordsman who saw this scene, besides secretly cursing the mage as a waste in terms of physical strength, had no other better way. He could only say encouragement: "If we persist for a while, we can reach the dream oasis, where we can have a good rest..."
As soon as he heard the Oasis, not only the female mage, but also the other members of the team also showed a hint of hope on their faces.
Now their location is deep in the Western Desert, which is very dangerous, and even a terrifying black sandstorm may be attacked by them at any time.
Even if they are all teams of high-level adventurers close to the legendary level, there is no good way to face this natural force, and it is still in danger.
The dream oasis is the only source of water in the depths of the Western Desert. It is rumored that it is a moving crescent lake and bushes, and it is also the only vitality and hope for those who are lost.
"According to my latest information and maps, the Dream Oasis is right in front of it, that's right!"
The swordsman loudly encouraged morale.
After hearing hope, the team moved a little faster.
However, this group of people did not notice that behind them, someone had already seen all their actions.
"A dream oasis... After arriving there, it was very close to Frost Loch Canyon... If it weren't for the fact that this group of guides, I wouldn't know when I would find it alone..."
Lei Lin sat on a huge sand scorpion, with a winged eyeball flapping in front of him, and feedback all the pictures of those people before.
With that team of adventurers in front of him, Lei Lin's trip was very small, and he basically needed to follow the safe route that the other party had already discovered.
Moreover, ordinary detection spells cannot detect Leilin's existence due to distance limitations and other issues.
"After arriving here...what should I say...it seems that the other party's value has become smaller and smaller..."
Leilin touched his chin. In his opinion, this team of adventurers may be the weakest among the forces that covet the floating city.
"However, the other party seems to have a leader, so put it in front of you to see what it can attract..."
Lei Lin patted the sitting scorpion, and the huge desert scorpion immediately squeaked, and his eight legs alternated rapidly, moving forward in the desert.
There were no other scenery along the way except for the yellow sand.
No, in addition to occasionally you can also see the bones of ascetics who fell to the ground.
Lei Lin once saw a dry corpse that had lost all the moisture on his body, like a mummy.
The practice of ascetic monks is really a life-threatening thing! If they don’t carry enough water in the desert, their only fate is to die on the roadside, and there will always be a very small number of people who can be rescued by a kind-hearted caravan.
"But... I always feel like the road seems to be a little too calm..."
Without caring about most of the corpses that had been buried by the yellow sand, Lei Lin directly urged the sand scorpion to move forward.
Of course, there are many dangers in the Western Desert, but the ones ahead are also an adventure group composed of elite high-level professionals. Except for natural disasters like black sandstorms, they can basically deal with them, and there has not even been any reduction in staff until now.
Although it seems normal, Lei Lin always feels something is wrong.
After all, it shouldn't be so calm when looking for a route to the floating city.
It was not until just now that a sudden smile appeared on Lei Lin's face: "It really appeared... I didn't expect that there were indigenous people in the depths of the Western Desert. Could it be the remnants of Naser Arcane?"
Thinking of this, he gave up his mount, drove his takeoff technique, and suddenly flapped his wings and flew to the sky.
After crossing countless sand dunes, a deep green suddenly appeared in front of Lei Lin.
In the endless yellow desert, a crystal crescent-shaped lake suddenly appeared, and there was a large oasis around it.
This scene appears in such a forbidden place of life, which really has a touching life force.
However, there are still some discordant scenes at this time.
For example, fierce fighting and other things have begun near the oasis.
"No wonder I always feel something is wrong. It turns out to be here!" A trace of suddenness appeared on Lei Lin's face. (To be continued.)
