Chapter 299. Rising fog (5th shift)
What the hell lies ahead.
Kant didn't know, but the appearance of the undead skeleton obviously shattered the little thought in his heart.
The reality is undoubtedly cruel.
Deep in the Naren Desert, there is definitely a problem!
The problem is not small.
Even the undead skeletons have appeared, and no one knows if there will be more terrifying undead creatures.
For example, in the temple of the cave dungeon, the self-proclaimed Pope, even the mages who have been tested on the battlefield for a long time and are feared by the mages from the Mage Tower of the Einface Empire, I am afraid that it may exist!
"If it does, it's going to be a problem."
Kant couldn't help but mumble to himself.
The debris of bones on the ground made his brow furrow, but he still commanded in a deep voice, "Keep going." ”
The knights looked at each other, reined in their extraordinary arrogance, and returned to normal, huddled around Kant, and rode their horses slowly, but with a solemn look on their brows.
No matter what you encounter, such an inhuman enemy is always slightly shocked.
It's just that they're still fearless.
The dead are raised from the dead, lambs to the slaughter under the hooves of their horses and swords.
Even if it is the undead, it has not become a pile of useless broken bones, for their own strength, these knights still have considerable confidence, after all, they have completely mastered the extraordinary divine power, they believe that they are the strongest!
These skeletons, which even a farmer can take down with a long-handled scythe, pose the slightest threat!
Even the mere proximity is fatal enough.
The positive energy and arrogance that burst out of the royal knights are almost the natural enemies of these undead.
Not to mention that even if you don't use extraordinary power, even if you rely solely on physical fitness and armor defense, it is enough to sweep away this group of undead skeletons without any weapons.
The combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level.
The gap between heaven and earth!
Keep digging deeper.
Under the stars, the temperature plummeted, and the moonlight was chilling.
Kant wrapped himself in a leather coat, but he still felt a chill around his body, so he couldn't help but hold on to the reins, so that the war horse with white mist under his crotch galloped slowly.
War horses can move and get hot.
Kant, who can be ridden on his back, is undoubtedly cold and uncomfortable.
What's more, turning his head to look around, the distance was white, Kant couldn't help but bow his head and said, "It's foggy." ”
"Yes, it's foggy."
The mage apprentices nodded in unison.
They shuddered and curled up on their horses, but they still held their staffs in their hands, and reminded Kant in a deep voice: "There is actually fog around us, and there is frost on the ground. ”
Kant looked down and squinted slightly: "Yes." ”
Sure enough.
Just on the sand layer of the ground, faint white marks spread.
If you look closely, it is not just frost, connecting the surrounding white fog, although there is no wind, but the cold is very deep.
Deep to the point of hatred for the living!
"The breath of negative energy is very strong."
Mage Apprentice Reminder.
"Hmm." Kant nodded.
The white mist around them, although it was very faint at first, could not even be covered by the soft moonlight, but as they went deeper and deeper into the Narun Desert, before they knew it, it became more and more dense, and even the last hundred meters away could not be seen really.
There are also occasional "clicking" bone sounds around you.
It looks like an undead skeleton walking.
The sand on the ground has frosted, and there is even a slight icing.
The horseshoe slammed into the sand, leaving behind no splashing pits, but neat footprints, and the sound that appeared changed from a simple "poof" sound to a roar that was no different from the usual.
"That's not right."
Kant groaned.
He wasn't referring to the white fog and frost around him, or the undead skeletons, but the environment.
According to the captives of the Graymane Kingdom Expeditionary Force, the deeper they go into the Narun Desert, even the night does not feel cold, especially near the Devil's Zone, which is almost as hot as the day.
That's why I didn't dare to walk there, even if I had shade items, I would be dehydrated from the sun until I fainted from heat stroke and became a pile of useless dried corpses!
But not right now.
Kant thought he should be close to the devil's zone.
But the night was still so cold, which really made him strange and palpitating.
He hadn't noticed it before, after all, he hadn't thought about it for a while, but now he thought that he was obviously close to the devil's zone, and even the sun was getting hotter and hotter during the day, but the night was even colder.
Even the ground was frosty and frozen.
"It's really wrong!"
Kant muttered to himself.
Looking up, the fog around me had become thick.
The white mist was like a miserable white skeleton, with shadows inside, and there was a faint sound of "click".
Vision was limited to a 100-meter range, but thankfully, the moonlight in the sky didn't seem to be much blocked, but still splashed in the fog, illuminating Kant and them.
The mage apprentices have an explanation for this.
"These dense fogs and frosts are the product of the convergence of negative energy."
The mage apprentice said: "Especially at night, the water element at the bottom of the sand layer rises, mixed with negative energy, it is easy to form these dense fog and frost, and if it is in the swampy area, the dense fog and frost will be even more powerful, and it is estimated that even the moonlight containing negative energy will not be able to shine down at that time." ”
"Death Canopy?" Kant instantly resounded in a literary work, the group amplification state and weather change type of the undead clan, which can be called a signature level spell.
"Hmm... Something like that. ”
The mage apprentice was a little hesitant.
They come from the Warwind World, and they also have the undead, and they are also the sworn enemies of the Einface Empire.
However, looking at the dense fog around them, the mage apprentices hesitated: "These dense fogs are not like the kind of death canopy created by the resentment of the creatures slaughtered with pure negative energy, but they are similar to the super-large poisonous cloud technique released by the cult warlock or the Demon Eye, but it is not poisonous, it just feels cold." ”
This did make the mage apprentices wonder.
Kant was equally puzzled.
Shaking his head, his eyes fixed on the front, and a group of dark shadows appeared in the thick fog.
"Prepare for battle!"
The captain of the knights issued a warning.
The group of figures in front of them had stopped advancing, and slowly turned their heads to look, even in the thick fog, they could see the dark blue soul fire burning, with the hatred of the living, looking at Kant and them.
It seems that in this thick fog, the perception and movements of these undead skeletons have become stronger!
"Kill!"
Kant commanded in a deep voice.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the frost-condensed sand layer was directly crushed.
The royal knights burst out with golden light, and the power of the king was revealed into arrogance, directly sweeping these skeletons and undead in front of them, and the horses' hooves trampled on the broken bones, and a single charge would reimburse the team composed of hundreds of undead skeletons.
Even if there were sporadic remains, they were still close to Kant's side, and they were easily chopped into pieces by the lion knight.
"They're so weak."
The Sarion Lion Knights looked relaxed.
In this mist of pure negative energy convergence, they also have the power of blood-colored negative energy, and they feel okay, even if they don't burst out with extraordinary power, they all feel that they are also strengthened.
Negative energy does not represent evil.
The most typical is moonlight, which is the most direct embodiment of negative energy.
And positive energy does not mean justice, and the scorching sun can also make people die of heat stroke.
It is like the Holy See of the Kingdom of the Silver Platter.
They do not think that the positive energy of the sun and the negative energy of the moon represent justice and death, but they call the beneficial part of the sun and the beneficial part of the moonlight collectively - holy light!
This is true justice.
But now is not the time to delve into this.
"Keep going!"
Kant hesitated slightly, but still made up his mind.
The system had to be completed, and at the same time, he wanted to see what was going on in this place!
The knights moved forward.
The mage apprentices also maximized their perceptions.
As we went deeper, the temperature plummeted, and the fog and frost filled the air, and even the sand was frozen, like the surface of the ice, allowing the knights to exude a little extraordinary power to dispel the cold.
On Kant's waist, the sword of the king also released golden light.
Covering his whole person inside, dispelling the chill brought by the negative energy in the outside world, it can be regarded as warm in front of him.
The mage apprentices also rode on the horses, and began to spread around them with the power of the elements they mastered, especially with the help of the positive energy emanating from the knights and Kant around them, so that they and the horses under their crotch kept their energy and warmth, so as not to be dragged down by the long trek.
But even so, a little frost appeared between everyone's exposed eyebrows.
The war horse under the crotch spewed out white mist.
The whole environment is so cruel that it seems to be stuck in a land of ice.
"Boom—"
The horseshoe slammed into the condensed sand, leaving only a small mark of two centimeters.
Instead of resting at midnight, they continued to march forward in the cold, forcing their march with the help of their extraordinary strength.
Fortunately, after resting all day during the day, everyone had recovered their strength, otherwise even if they had extraordinary strength, the forced march would have made the spirit more and more exhausted and the oil would have dried up, so that the forced march would have outweighed the loss.
During the successive forced marches, they encountered a team of two undead skeletons.
It's still hundreds of skeletons in one piece.
Wearing a tattered pale yellow hood and burqa with a slight ancient pattern.
It looks like a pilgrimage, walking towards the depths of the Naren Desert, as if you will never get tired, and it is true, the undead are not tired, as long as the bones and the body of the dead are not lost, they are moving like a perpetual motion machine.
Soon, though, they were resting.
When the knights saw a stream of undead skeletons, they destroyed it.
Even if they tried to get around, the skeletons would hate the living and launch a slow and ridiculous attack on them, rather than striking first.
All the way, even at night, there is no rest.
To the depths of the desert.
And just before the dawn rose, Kant also saw an unusual scene ahead.
The dense fog was dispersed and replaced by a slightly grayish-black fog.
Heavy black clouds appeared in the sky, obscuring the sky.
A slight cold wind was still blowing.
Faintly, there was a terrible cry in my ears, like a begging for mercy before death, and a curse against everything!
PS: I watched the child last night, and this chapter is made up.
