【018】Flying skeletons

The skeleton soldier stepped on the weeds, which were trampled down and quickly re-erected, forming a towering wall of grass again in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Sen pushed aside the weeds and followed, relying on the gap when the weeds swayed, chasing after the skeleton, and gradually walking towards the depths of the canyon.

Probably because of the skeleton soldiers who opened the way, they didn't encounter any animals at all along the way, whether they were ordinary animals or those mysterious monsters.

At the end of the fifteen-minute walk, the skeleton soldier left the weeds and entered a slope, which ended in a deep pit that descended into a large crocodile that looked like a large crocodile hiding in the murky waters of a river with its mouth open.

After the skeleton entered the cave, Zhang Sen did not rush to follow up, but observed it a little before cautiously walking towards the cave.

The cave is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, and even the small passage at the end can only provide one person to enter.

He quickly crossed the passage, and the terrain became more and more open.

Suddenly, he heard a strange sound, not far ahead, he immediately slowed down his steps and slowly stepped forward, and then looked into the cave.

I saw a large number of skeletons piled up, and the problem is that these skeletons all have one characteristic, that is, they have no heads!

The strange sound came from the skeletons he was following, and the necks of those skeletons made strange sounds, and finally gradually separated under Zhang Sen's surprised gaze, and the skulls that were burning with flames floated in the air, gradually surrounding the vicinity of Skull Mountain, as if looking for a better body.

"Mr. Zhang Sen, what are you doing here?"

At this time, Einstein's voice suddenly came from behind Zhang Sen, and he immediately turned around and saw Einstein looking at him puzzled.

Zhang Sen frowned and moved slightly, and then said, "Why did you come with you?" ”

"I got up when you left, and when I saw you coming, I followed you along the way." Einstein replied.

Zhang Sen nodded and said, "I see, I'm just going out for a walk, let's go back." ”

Then, without waiting for Einstein to speak, he walked straight in the direction of the cave.

"Wait for me." Einstein immediately followed, as if he was afraid of losing it.

But in the next second, Zhang Sen turned around violently, and the Western sword was unsheathed almost instantly, and a sword slashed at Einstein's neck, and Einstein's head flew out all of a sudden.

The body did not spurt blood, but burned with green flames, and then the flames left the body, and the body directly turned into a skeleton and fell, while the head floated in the air, but the appearance of Einstein had disappeared, replaced by a burning head.

"So this is a flying skeleton."

When Zhang Sen saw this scene, he finally realized something.

He collected a lot of legends in Whitefish City, including legends like Grandma Wolf and Old Man with a cat face, which were specially used to scare children, as well as strange legends such as Flying Skull, Mr. Skin, and Corpse Devouring Butcher.

The Flying Skull is said to be an anomaly that is obsessed with the human body, capable of transforming into a human, then approaching a real human, and finally killing the opponent and taking the opponent's fresh body.

It is said that flying skeletons are extremely obsessed with fresh bodies, so flying skeletons are hidden in some big cities, and they take human bodies and become the appearance of each other, so as to hide from everyone and hunt humans in the city.

Zhang Sen first saw the skeleton's head flying, but he didn't actually think of the flying skeleton, until the flying skeleton turned into Einstein's appearance and tried to confuse him, he instantly realized this, and then quietly attacked.

It is worth mentioning that the combat effectiveness of flying skeletons when they have no body is very low, and they do not have much lethality at all.

Zhang Sen didn't wait for the flying skeleton to make any movement at this time, and directly slashed it with a sword, and the head turned around and flew into the cave with a strange scream, but before it could fly far, it was pierced through the skull by a flying knife, and finally fell to the ground weakly.

Without waiting for Zhang Sen to pick up the flying skeletons, one by one skeleton soldiers appeared.

These skeleton soldiers had flames burning in their eyes, and they held all kinds of weapons in their hands, and they immediately roared when they saw Zhang Sen.

"It is said that the skull of the flying skeleton is ground into powder and drunk with its own blood, which can greatly improve physical fitness, I don't know if it's true or not."

After Zhang Sen understood the essence of the skeleton soldier, his heart calmed down, and when the skeleton soldier rushed up, he still had the mind to think about other problems, and then he easily avoided the attack of an axe-wielding skeleton soldier, and the Western sword slashed out, directly cutting off the skeleton soldier's head.

The skeleton body lost its head and immediately fell weakly, and the head fled in fear, and ran into the skeleton soldiers in a blink of an eye, Zhang Sen originally wanted to mend the knife, but an arrow forced him to dodge.

"There are too many opponents, and there are ......"

Zhang Sen continued to dodge the attacks from the skeleton soldiers, and then saw the skeleton soldiers who had been beheaded off by him come back with a new body.

Although a single flying skeleton is not to be feared, it is still a trouble to have a large number to a certain extent, especially Zhang Sen now has no means of group attack at all, it is not easy for him to attack once in the gap between defense and dodge, and it is basically impossible to make up the knife.

In the end, he realized that it was probably himself who would die in this way, so he decided to dodge and retreat, and finally hid in the shadows of the passage.

Fortunately, the ability of the shadow flea was as powerful as ever, those skeletons lost their target in the corner, and after searching for a while, they began to return to the depths of the cave one after another, Zhang Sen waited for them to leave, and then turned around and left quickly.

He then returns the way he came, where he will meet Albert Einstein with a musket in his hand, looking terrified.

"Mr. Hemerway, I thought you had been snatched by some monster." Einstein relaxed when he saw Zhang Sen appear, and then spoke.

He woke up and found that Zhang Sen was gone, and all of a sudden the whole person became nervous, he was able to survive in this canyon not because of how strong he was, but because of Zhang Sen's existence, so after Zhang Sen disappeared, he was completely insecure, and felt that there were countless terrifying monsters lurking in the towering weeds.

"I'm sorry, I went out and took a look at the situation, I'm afraid the danger here is worse than I thought." Zhang Sen walked to the campfire and sat down, and then spoke.

Then he told a little about what he had seen when he went out at night, and Einstein realized how terrible the place was.

Not to mention, the huge number of large snakes alone is enough to make him creepy, yesterday two big snakes almost killed them, what if they encountered four this time?

The only good news is probably that there are already Shadow Rats here, so there is no need for them to continue deeper into the canyon, they just need to find a way to catch the Shadow Rats nearby, after all, the deeper they go into the canyon, the more dangerous it is, and no one knows what else they will encounter in the depths of the canyon.

The two discussed it for a while, and then decided to start a rat hunting operation, catching the Shadow Rats as soon as possible and leaving as soon as possible.

After a hurried breakfast, they went straight to the place where Zhang Sen had found the Shadow Rat.

The easiest way to catch the Shadow Rats is to set traps.

Humans can't keep up with the Shadow Rat, so they have to find a way to get the Shadow Rat injured and limit its speed.

Zhang Sen's method is very simple, that is, set a large number of traps in the places infested by shadow rats, they prepare anesthetics and raisins that only small animals will be interested in, and then lay the next traps.

Both of them were very careful, after all, it was close to the lake in the canyon, and the lake was full of large snakes.

After the sneaky trap was arranged, the two of them quickly evacuated.

They were not interested in exploring at all, Einstein was actually scared yesterday, and Zhang Sen knew how dangerous it was.

This is simply a strange paradise, although ordinary animals also live here, but basically they are food-level existences, even if humans are in this canyon, they are just flying skeletons or snakes dessert, after all, not everyone has Zhang Sen's skills and experience.

Before his ability reaches a certain level, Zhang Sen will definitely not take risks easily.

In fact, he has always had a sense of urgency, because he doesn't know what other players' points are, and his points are always only two, and he is worried that he will be stuck in the same place when others are rambling on points.

It is precisely because of this sense of urgency that he has been paying attention to all kinds of information, rumors, and legends in the Kingdom of Zauklu, and constantly analyzing all kinds of valuable materials from them.

The canyon during the day is technically safe, and as long as you don't encounter large snakes and other carnivores, there is basically not much danger.

Zhang Sen even went out to hunt a deer at noon.

In the blink of an eye, night fell, it was impossible to sleep tonight, Zhang Sen and Einstein both decided to keep vigil, and the two had reached an agreement at noon, they would stay in the canyon for three days at most, and after three days, they would evacuate the canyon regardless of whether they caught the shadow rat or not.

And Tupilhan Canyon is not their only option, there are other safer canyons, but the road is long and takes a lot of time.

If there is no result within three days, both Einstein and Zhang Sen would rather go far, after all, it is safer to do so.

"Mr. Hemerway, are all the dietaries coming here like this?" Albert Einstein sat around the campfire, stirring the fire with a stick in one hand and a musket in the other.

Zhang Sen didn't know the situation of the other pharmacists, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's probably about the same, after all, weird things don't fall from the sky, but those pharmacists who have teachers may be much better than us, after all, their teachers may prepare meals and medicines for them." ”

"It's a pity that I know only one dieter, Mr. Hemerway, and I really want to know where the other dieters are." Albert Einstein sighed.

Zhang Sen nodded and said, "Indeed, I also want to know." ”

In fact, strictly speaking, he has not met any official pharmacist since he entered this world, and Hemerway is only a hobbyist at best.
