Chapter 139 Undead Caravan
"Tread, step, step", the heavy footsteps echoed in the world of the dead in the eternal night.
Ms. Moonlight Three is about to leave the night sky, and the cold light in the night sky gradually becomes dim. In the sky, several skeleton vultures chased the distant moonlight and sank into the mountains vaguely visible in the sky. After these former raptors, although due to the influence of the will of the god of death, they no longer attacked the living, but retained their instincts when they were alive and liked to dive from the air and hit the dead on the ground. This habit has a headache for the dead. Fortunately, there are too few skeleton vultures that can be revived, and many of them have not seen one for decades.
The departure of the skeleton vulture made the plain leaning against the mountain look even more silent. The faint mist began to spread around before the night fell, covering the entire plain. In the fog, the heavy footsteps became louder and louder. Suddenly, a giant beast five or six meters high suddenly broke through the mist and appeared on the plain. However, the heavy footsteps did not disappear because of the appearance of the giant beast. Behind the giant beasts, similar people continued to emerge from the fog. Soon, the five giant beasts stood proudly on the plain, looking at the surrounding environment curiously, as if they were looking at the world from this perspective for the first time.
Although these white-bone giant beasts are tall, they are not ferocious. They have four short and thick legs, thick bodies, wide and flat backs, and an oval head long on the cervical vertebra that is several meters long. The flexible and free cervical vertebra allows the head to rotate 360 degrees without dead corners. The slender tail vertebra habitually swings in the air, making a whimpering sound of wind breaking. From their huge and heavy body shape and flat teeth, it can be seen that these giant beasts were by no means carnivorous beasts when they were alive. All their characteristics seemed to grow to better obtain plants for feeding.
If the creatures in the Yara world saw these giant beasts, they would definitely feel strange because they had never appeared in front of the world. However, if scholars who study the branches of paleontology saw them, they would probably faint in excitement because they knew that these creatures were ancient giant beasts that had been extinct as early as the First Age, and now they could only remember their appearance from the few bones that were occasionally excavated. I am afraid that only this world of dead people, which had accumulated countless bones from ancient times to the Third Age, could find such a complete bone, and... they could still move.
Of course, the giant beasts were not wandering themselves. Behind each giant beast, there were two or three undeads, and a large number of cargoes were found. Obviously, the undead used the corpses of these giant beasts to form a transportation team. On the surface, there was almost no difference between them and the caravans in the main world. It is worth noting that there were not many cargoes on the back of the third giant beast, because behind the third giant beast, in addition to the two undead masters, eight visitors from the main world also sat on it, bumping up and down with the roaring footsteps of the giant beast.
"Dong, dong", the heavy footsteps became slower and slower. Finally, the five white-bone giant beasts stopped in the field, slowly bent their short and thick limbs, and fell to the ground. The passengers on the giant beast quickly jumped off and took some strange tools from the back of the giant beast and became busy. These undead were not unloading the goods, but set up a bracket on the back of each giant beast to obtain a load-bearing pillar under the goods. Even if the giant beast disappears, they will not fall to the ground. After all, the undead, the leader of the transportation team, shouted, and did not know what the imperial hand of each giant beast did, but only saw the five giant beasts.
The body trembled at the same time, and the bones that formed the body dispersed at the same time. Various white bones fell from the sky like rain and fell on the ground. In an instant, a small white bone hill was piled up on the ground. Something seemed to be wriggling below the white bone hill, causing the uppermost white bones to roll down the slope. After a while of wriggling, with a few clamors, the pile of bones was pushed open from below, and the skull of a skeleton horse drilled out of the pile of bones. The beating soul fire looked confused, and it seemed that it could not figure out why it suddenly changed back to its original form.
"Ha, your skills are really convenient." Panis praised by the leader of the transport team: "We were shocked when we saw you suddenly turn five skeleton horses into five giant beasts. If our creatures could also have such skills, the transportation industry would probably have subversive changes."
"But it's a pity that this is the racial talent of our undead. You will never learn it. I'm so sorry." The leader's voice was hoarse and low, just as unpleasant as the sound of metal rubbing. This leader was not a skeleton or a ghost, but a mummy with bones wrapped in bones and completely dried up in water. Unlike the three and a half dead of the God servant, this mummy is a pure dead person. In the main world, such an undead is called a corpse witch, and is a natural high-level undead person, and the lowest strength is also the golden level. The corpse witch is a very rare undead person. Even in the world of the dead, corpse witch is rare. It has been almost three days since he left the village chief of Nars. He passed many villages and towns along the way, and there was only one corpse witch that everyone saw.
"It's okay, Mr. Kenther, we would be satisfied to see such a miracle with our own eyes." Catherine said with a gratitude smile: "In other words, we should also thank you. If you hadn't agreed to our agreement to achieve your beast-riding journey, we would probably have gone less than half of the way, so how could it be as fast as it is now."
Just as the Knight Girl said, since Village Chief Nars said that the King of the Dead had an urgent matter to find everyone, everyone hurriedly set off on the road early the next morning. However, not long after walking, he encountered the caravan carrying goods. The leader of the caravan, the corpse witch Kenser, was very strong and could sense the special thing about Panis and tell that he was a guest of the god of death. Therefore, without even thinking about it, he agreed to the request for a ride from several people and drove all the way to the capital in the giant beast.
"We can only send you here," said Kenser, the corpse witch, regretfully: "We are going to turn north now, and you need to go east and see the mountains there. After crossing those mountains, you can see the capital. Sorry, you can't deliver you all the way to the capital with your goods. I hope everything will go well in the future."
"Mr. Kenther, don't say that." Catherine shook her head and said, "We have been causing trouble for you these two days. We are already very embarrassed. These are some small toys we brought from the world of the living. Let me be a souvenir for you. I hope you can like it."
