Dark Elf Graveyard Past

Chapter 4 Temptation
The whole team arrived at the first place to stay in the alternation of life and death.

Sean once again saw the wealth of the Sebers family.

Spare weapons, Philosopher's Stone, elf biscuits, pure drinking water, these things were distributed to all of them under Burton's command.

But the whole team didn't recover from fatigue like in the past.Sean also felt that the panic not long ago still remained in his heart.

Seeing that ghost swordsman Rand, Sean took out the wine bag on his waist and gulped down the wine. The aroma of black tequila wafted in the air, and Burton's face turned pale, not the same as before. Stop Rand.

The team's foothold was a small artificially dug cave. In the past, it seemed to be a temporary resting place for a dark elf craftsman.Dan Knight gave an order to the team to rest in place for three magic hours.

With Burton's assistance, Gloria activated a magic circle that shielded the team from being perceived by some powerful monsters while the team was still.

Sean was tired and smelled of wine, and soon fell asleep.In a daze, he heard a voice calling to himself again, which he felt very familiar with.

"Sean - Sean -" the voice was elongated and echoed in Sean's ears.

"Sean--Sean--" the voice continued to shout, with a kind of intimacy that made Sean want to cry. In a daze, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Shashasha—shashashashashasha—a strange friction sound echoed in the cave at the foothold. Sean had already woken up. He saw that Dan Knight had also heard this sound and was waking up the team members one by one. Not far away, Burton Knight was already awake, his face was still pale, and he was covering the cup in his arms.

Rustle - The sound of friction is getting louder, and it seems that a large number of things are approaching them.

"Get up! There is the sound of skeletons in the cemetery!" Dan Knight warned the whole team loudly.

Sean trembled in his heart. This was the monster he feared the most in the dark elf cemetery.

Graveyard skeletons are killers for adventurers, because in the dark, skeletons can sense heat, which is how they hunt.

The caves in the cemetery seem to be the best pens for them!Because they can use sharp bone spurs to clear the way in the rocks, find out the adventurers, and kill them one by one.

Graveyard skeletons come in all shapes and sizes, some are human-like with two hands and two feet, while others have six legs.The bones of the skeletons in the cemetery are covered with a hard black bone layer, but what Xiao En fears the most is their super-high-speed movement, brutal nature, amazing jumping ability, and limbs like a death sickle.

After killing other creatures, the skeletons in the cemetery will let their corpses rot slowly in the ground, and then use the remaining bones as raw materials for repairing and maintaining their own bodies.

While recalling the horrors of certain adventurers being killed by skeletons in the cemetery, Sean took out a bottle of purple potion from his waist. He knew that although this spirit-stimulating elixir would make him feel pain, it could Speeding up his nerve reaction speed greatly increased his chances of surviving.

The way he used to avoid the skeletons in the cemetery was also very simple, that is, to use a special plant leaf to wrap his whole body to achieve the effect of isolating the heat source.

Sean suddenly remembered that before they rested, Gloria had set up a magic circle specially used to shield the enemy's perception. Its necessary effect must be able to shield the heat source of the entire team, so how did these cemetery skeletons perceive their position?

Sean was a little scared, because he remembered that something was calling him just now, perhaps, it was this voice that attracted these skeletons.

After drinking the purple potion, the time in Sean's perception slowed down.He could see the cold light of the magic torch, beating slowly, Dan Knight's movements were impossibly slow.

Suddenly, a black thing came into Sean's sight. That thing came out from above the cave, and its huge body rushed towards the Burton knight beside him.

For the first time, Sean clearly saw the appearance of the skeleton in the cemetery, the four upper limbs like a sickle, the broken human skull, and the blue magic cold light reflected on the black bone armor.

When Burton Knight saw the graveyard skeleton rushing towards him, he let out a huge roar. His voice should have been high-pitched, but it was low-pitched, as if it had been extended infinitely.

Sean saw Burton Knight pick up the giant metal cross in his hand, resisting the attack of the skeletons in the cemetery.

Sean's thinking speed was extremely fast. He thought, if he was attacked instead, even if he could see the skeleton's movements clearly, his body's reaction and movement speed would not allow him to fight the skeleton at close range.

Sure enough, only the ghost swordsmen and fighters in close combat could react in the whole team. Instead of helping Burton Knight immediately, they rushed around, because more skeletons leaked from the top of the cave and began to charge into the crowd.

Ghost Swordsman Rand's eyes had turned red, and he crushed the skeletons one by one with the giant sword in his hand.Gloria couldn't see the skeleton's movements clearly, but she quickly drank a bottle of purple potion and began to add various buffs to everyone.

Dan Knight finally reacted under the effect of the buff spell.

Sean saw Dan Knight read something quickly.Afterwards, a bright light spot appeared on his body, and the light spot gradually turned into a silver mask, spreading in the air, covering the entire team.

More skeletons fell from above the cave, but they were all blocked by the silver mask. In Sean's hearing, the impact of the skeletons on the mask was like an extended muffled thunder, constantly exploding in his ears. ring.

Inside the mask, Burton's knight's abdomen was sliced ​​open by the skeleton, and Sean could see splashes of blood and shattered pieces of flesh slowly jumping out from the wound on Burton's abdomen.

The wounded Burton knight was furious. He protected the Holy Grail and smashed the skeleton. In the reflection of Burton's giant cross, the skeleton's stump slowly traced a parabolic trajectory in the air.

More skeletons seemed to be attracted by the fierce battle here, and they moved excitedly around the mask.The fireball technique formed an orange trajectory in the air, and the speed of the skeletons was slightly slower than these deadly orange spheres. Some skeletons were hit, their bones exploded, and black bone residues flew outward.

Sean could see that the alternating yellow and blue flames illuminated the somewhat painful expression of Dan Knight. He supported the Holy Light Guardian skill, maintained the life of the entire team, and resisted so many skeletons outside.

The skeletons that had entered the holy light protection mask became angry. In a small space, the two skeletons finally managed to knock down a ghost swordsman of the Dan Knight Mercenary Group.

The skeleton cut open the strong body of the ghost swordsman with its sharp upper limbs, and the head and lower limbs left the original body in an instant. The ghost swordsman began to swing the giant sword in his hand indiscriminately by virtue of inertia and last instinct, and pieces of blood mist exploded in the air. Splash on others.Sean felt the warmth on his face, and he bent down to hide in the corner of the mask.

In the mask, more orange lights lit up. With the help of potions and spells, Gloria moved quickly and accurately. The three skeletons that entered the mask completely disappeared in the splendor of the fireball technique.

The ghost swordsman on the ground had stopped struggling.

As the battle continued, Xiao En saw that there were no standing skeletons in the mask, but outside the mask, countless skeletons began to crazily hit the mask raised by the Dan knight.

The top of the entire cave has collapsed, and broken rocks fell on the mask, causing Dan Knight's body to shake back and forth, and the original silver color of the mask began to dim.

Boom... Boom... Boom... Countless prolonged impacts struck Sean's heart, like the death bell.

Dan Knight began to reduce the scope of the protection of the holy light, and the mask gradually returned to silver, with a thin layer of holy light, as if fighting against endless brute force.

Sean experienced again, this sense of imminent death.

Suddenly, Knight Peter rushed to his brother's side. It was as if a small sun had burst out of his body. The huge light made Sean involuntarily close his eyes.

Accompanied by the endless golden light, in Pete's hands, a golden giant hammer made of pure light was formed, and he swung forward forcefully, shattering countless skeletons in front of him.

In an instant, a huge sound exploded to the surroundings, and Sean's hearing completely disappeared after a burst of high-pitched tinnitus.

In the silence, Xiao En opened his eyes again. He saw that the rocks piled up on the mask had been blown into countless fragments, pushed into the air by invisible air waves, and the countless fragments were smashed into pieces like bullets. The skeletons and shattered limbs slowly fell from the air.

And the nearby skeletons, no matter how hard their bones looked, were instantly turned into ashes in the burning holy light.

Sean saw that Pete had replaced Dan Knight with a small silver mask to protect the eight surviving people. Sean rushed up, took out the magic recovery potion from Dan Knight's waist, and slowly gave it to Dan Knight. hello.

Cavalier Burton was injured in his abdomen. He was lying on the side and slowly healing himself. Gloria also spent a lot of magic power and physical strength, panting and resting on the side. The others were not in good condition and each had minor injuries.

They gained a brief respite, but the skeletons outside the mask did not leave.

The war among alien races was over, and the battle of the same kind started again. More skeletons poured into the channel that had not yet collapsed. They collided with each other outside the light shield, and began to snatch the broken bones on the ground.

For the first time, Sean saw how these skeletons continued their own existence. They assembled the broken bones on the ground to themselves bit by bit.

The fireball thrown by Gloria earlier continued to burn on the ground.All kinds of fragmentary stumps were gradually cleaned up by the skeletons.The skeletons began to gather around different fires, pointing their bodies towards the fires. Their dry and fleshless bodies trembled slightly, and their entire skeletons bent and stretched.

Countless skeletons repeated the same action, as if they were waiting for something.

Sean was stunned by this weird scene.His hearing began to recover, the effect of the mental stimulation elixir began to fade, and the light of the magic torch began to flicker in his eyes at a normal speed.

There are no extra sounds in the mask, only the occasional crackling sound from outside.

The skeletons stopped moving and began to shrink their bodies. Suddenly, amidst a crackling sound, black bone armor pieces shot out from the skeletons, and countless broken armor pieces flew into the air and fell to the ground.

Gloria has gradually regained her strength. In the mask, she slowly molded a hemispherical ice wall, covering the body temperature of eight people.

The light outside the mask gradually dimmed, leaving only a few sparks. In the faint light, the skeletons did not hear any special guidance, nor did they continue to perceive any heat source from living creatures, and they gradually left.

One after another white smoke rose, lingering in the air, entangled with each other, as if carrying the resentment of these skeletons.

In the mask, under the ice wall, the magic torch gradually extinguished, leaving behind a darkness and the sound of everyone's heavy breathing.

Amid the bursts of bloody smell, Sean felt his stomach churning, he wanted to vomit, but he was holding back.

He could feel that Pete was still supporting the Guardian of the Holy Light, while the skeleton outside the ice wall had already left.

But Sean didn't know if the skeletons would attack the exhausted team again.

The light blue cold light was lit again, and Gloria stuck the torch on the ground and began to check Burton's physical condition.

Burton had already begun to lose consciousness, and his left hand was still firmly holding the cup in his arms. The wound on his abdomen hadn't completely clotted, and the bleeding was still staining his leg armor red.

Gloria took out the healing scroll and began to help Burton treat the wound.

Dan Knight closed his eyes and seemed extremely tired, and everyone else was also tired.

But only Rand, his two eyes seemed to be on fire, blood red, he was holding a wine bag in one hand, pouring wine into his mouth vigorously, and he was constantly rubbing the blade of the giant sword with one hand, while his two eyes were Staring at the Holy Grail in Burton's arms.

Burton's painful voice echoed in the air, causing everyone's hearts to palpitate.

A ghost swordsman who was still alive under Dan Knight suddenly stood up and walked towards Burton staggeringly.

Gloria noticed the abnormality behind her, and quickly stood up and took a defensive posture vigilantly.

Ghost Swordsman seemed to realize something, he turned and walked towards Dan Knight, muttering something in his mouth.

Dan Knight looked up at Ghost Swordsman, and he asked in a weak voice: "What do you want to do?"

The ghost swordsman seemed to be possessed by a demon, shaking his body constantly, he replied tremblingly: "I want to go home, the child is calling me."

Dan Knight froze for a moment, and immediately responded: "Are you crazy?"

The ghost swordsman pointed to the holy grail in Burton's arms, and responded to Knight Dan: "I want to go home, the child is calling me, Dan, you heard it too?"

Hearing this reply, Knight Dan became alert. He used the huge cross beside him to prop up his body, slowly stood up straight, and made a defensive movement.

Ghost Swordsman seemed to be talking to himself, he murmured: "I want to go home, the child is calling me."

The hoarse voice echoed in the air, revealing an indescribable weirdness, which made Sean numb all over.

Pete moved on one side, shrinking the mask even smaller.

Sean saw Pete's movements, and also felt that there was something wrong with Ghost Swordsman, so he moved behind Pete.

"I want to go home..." Ghost Swordsman kept muttering these words, and while repeating, he raised the giant sword in his hand, as if trying to break through the ice wall protecting them.

Gloria frowned, and a blue-white magical light was stored in her hands.

Dan Knight also clenched the cross in his hand.

But at this moment, with a roar, the berserk Rand rushed to the ghost swordsman. He knocked the ghost swordsman to the ground in an instant, and then kicked the giant sword in his hand away. , and then began to kick the Ghost Swordsman in the face, the hard leather boots kept hitting the soft skin.

The ghost swordsman seemed to be possessed, and he didn't let out a cry of pain, but continued to repeat vaguely: "I want to go home..."

Ghost Swordsman let Rand beat him hard, and soon half of his face was covered in blood.

Rand stopped hitting, grabbed the ghost swordsman's hair, lifted him up with one hand, looked at the body that was still repeating words with blood red eyes, as if admiring some work.

Rand began to accumulate energy, and a huge wave of shock wave came out from his hands. The ghost swordsman responded and leaned back a certain distance in the air, with blood coming out of his nose and mouth, and accompanied by the shattered upper half of his head, he flew into the air. On the ice wall, the remaining jaw is still opening and closing, as if repeating a certain spell.

Rand looked at the ghost swordsman's mouth, and laughed haha, his voice was full of cruelty, he ran up in an instant, and punched the remaining head of the ghost swordsman.

The remaining head of the ghost swordsman was directly exploded by Rand, and the brain mixed with blood splashed on Dan Knight's face and body.

Blood slowly flowed out from the remaining neck of the corpse, and pooled into a pool under the Dan knight beside him.

The bursting head aroused Sean's instinctive fear, and he hid behind Pete's tall body.

Dan Knight stood quietly at this time, he didn't seem to notice the corpse under his feet, his eyes were all focused on Rand's red eyes.

"Rand, put down the sword in your hand." Knight Dan planted the cross on the ground, and calmly and calmly looked at Rand whose skin was starting to turn red.

"Ho ho, ho ho ho!" Amid these trembling laughter, the sword in Rand's hand shook a few times and fell to the ground.

"This damned man wanted to kill us just now." Rand looked around at the people around him, "So I killed him." Rand's tone was very relaxed.

Cavalier Burton lying behind Rand has regained consciousness, his face is even paler, and he looks a little weird looking at Rand. After a quick exchange of glances with Gloria, he sends a signal to Cavalier Dan.

Dan Knight nodded to Pete in the center of the field.

In an instant, Pete, a giant in heavy armor, ran up from behind and quickly grabbed Rand's two shoulders with both hands. With the crisp dislocation sound, Rand's two arms hung down.

Rand seemed surprised, but he didn't struggle too much. Instead, he shouted to Gloria in an explanatory tone: "Young master, I was protecting everyone just now!"

Gloria did not respond to Rand, she watched Pete tie Rand's upper body with a reinforced magic rope.

The temperature inside the ice wall was a little low, and everyone fell into silence again. After a long time, Gloria confirmed that there were no cemetery skeletons around, and then removed the ice cover.

The procession began to move in silence again, but at a much slower pace.

The fighter named Miller was slightly injured, and he supported Burton Knight at the rear of the team.And Sean continued to open the way with Dan Knight.

Sean saw that Dan Knight's steps were a little weak, and he knew that they were close to the approximate location of the ancient magic circle deep in the cemetery, because the things sealed in the cup couldn't bear it anymore and were trying to stop them from moving forward.

The endless darkness in the depths of the passage made Sean feel palpitations, but he could only go on bravely.
