Chapter 5: New Vengeance and Old Hatred
Chapter 5 New Enemies and Old Hatred
The burial ground, by the stone bridge.
The lake hadn’t been completely vaporized, but the riverbed was mostly visible, leaving only the last shallow layer of puddles at the bottom of the lake.
The dried bones of fish, fishmen, and water monsters hung on the mountain walls, and a disgusting charred odor permeated everywhere.
Only the charred church stood upright on the island; the cemetery, the dormitories, and the vineyards and groves that Heine had known so well had all disappeared, leaving only a few blackened, broken walls.
Heine looked away in silence and said nothing.
Previously contacted works in the holy light are linked with hope and warmth, or even worse is the representative of hypocrisy, so violent and brutal or the first time to see.
It is true that the burial ground is not a benign place, and necromancers who deal with the dead are indeed hated.
But the corpses in the burial ground are all bought from the lord’s hands, and when there are no more students, they will also spend money to recruit them, and they have not done anything harmful to heaven and earth.
Heine has been working in the academy for three years, and has memorized the faces of almost every student, but he has never seen any student being secretly dragged off to do human experiments.
It was a gray industry at best, and far from sinful.
This unexplained orbital cannon scrubbing revealed a tinge of extremism everywhere, with a certain sightless intimidation.
His favorable opinion of the so-called “Holy Light” had dropped to a negative number.
“Tsk, Brother Goat, the people in your hometown are really ruthless.”
“That’s not something you can rise to say, we at Scarlet Dawn are disciplined, these guys from Eternal Dawn are pure war criminals.”
“Oh yeah, you guys haven’t split up yet, so you’re not going back to raise your arms?”
“Am I rushing to send merit like this now? By the way, didn’t you say that this is a broken bridge, it looks as if you can still pass a car.”
“Short of the last straw only, I just hope he doesn’t directly reckless up.”
Heine naturally did not do so, he memorized all the keywords mentioned by the other party, the first time he remembered the expression “broken bridge”.
He silently memorized the conversation between the two, tied his horse to the side of the road, and connected the three of them with a long rope.
“Step where I have stepped.”
After the instruction was given, he carefully stepped onto the cracked stone bridge, taking each step cautiously.
The short distance of a dozen meters actually took close to ten minutes to walk, and Heine sighed with heartfelt relief after he passed completely.
Then, he heard the commotion of a loud collapse from behind him.
Looking back, the stone bridge broke into four pieces.
He was incredibly glad that he had listened to the advice from the travelers.
It was a good thing that each part of the broken bridge wasn’t too far apart, maybe it could still be-
“Finally, it looks a bit like the bridge I saw, why is there an extra section?”
“The section near the center of the lake is unstable, it was collapsed in the game by a barbarian warrior.”
“A big jump to break the bridge, right? This is too naive.”
“Indeed.”
Well, it’s not reassuring yet.
Heine untied the rope and greeted the two men as they walked toward the charred church.
Ciara usually stayed there all night, going back for a short nap when it was almost dawn.
His mood was a little heavy, and his back looked sullen.
Suddenly, the cellar door under the corner of the church wall was lifted up, Heine’s heart was shocked, whispered the order “hide”, and quickly hid behind the broken wall next to him.
He looked back, although these two guys started to move after the instruction, but slipped faster than him.
Under the moonlight, in the hot and dry air, the cellar door opened and a hunched figure emerged from it.
This is ……
Heine’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his breathing became rapid.
Old Hunter?
He was sure he was right; several times when he’d gone out late hunting, the little old man had been waiting at the cemetery gate with his hands behind his back to fine him; the silhouette couldn’t have been more familiar!
Only to see the big logistical steward drill out and prop up the cellar door with a stick, then drill back in and haul out a sack longer than he was.
Then a second and a third ……
He dragged out four sacks in one breath, with no trace of fatigue on his face.
Heine had no reason to think of the “two five” this name, does it mean ……
“Goat Brother Goat Brother, your suit is here!” “Ah? What?”
“‘Bone and Flesh’ set ah, that bone chopping knife with meat cutting anvil, weapon bleeding, shield with faint life drawing aura, can be used up to level 15.”
“I remember, I didn’t even put together a set when I brushed up to level 16 …… This is the #3 boss of the White Bone Dungeon?”
“Yeah, that two-fifty.”
Sure enough, it was him!
The culprit of all this!
New hatred and old hatred overlapped together, although Heine’s teeth were itching with hatred, she was still calm when things came to a head.
He wasn’t sure what Old Hunter’s strength was, and he had never seen him put up a fight, but they said that this was the No. 3 boss of the White Bone Dungeon, so it was bound to be uncomplicated.
However, the two of them talked about how their attributes were enough to make a copy, and the only thing they lacked was “freedom”.
Most of the wandering souls acted only on instinct, so they needed restraints to avoid their ineffective behavior.
He didn’t have a system, so he didn’t know how to adjust the “mode”, but he thought it should be related to the degree of restraint.
Besides, the necromancer’s tactics did include this type of play – unbinding minions to allow them to move freely as a way to draw fire, so there was no reason for him to do so.
Heine no longer hesitated, he slightly loosened his bonds on the minion, and at the same time gave instructions to the two of them:
“One silent approach to attract attention, one sneak attack, go!”
The refined instructions were quickly given in the form of consciousness, and both skeletons were startled!
“I don’t feel very restricted anymore?”
“Maybe it’s cut mode? Whatever, I’ll go first, you go around the back!”
“OK!”
Old Hunter had just probed in to drag the fifth sack, when Catching Goat hunched his body with a shield and silently touched him three or four meters away with a dexterity that didn’t belong to a Skeleton Soldier.
He suddenly slapped his longsword hard on the wooden shield!
Clang!
The muffled sound was particularly ear-piercing in the dead night, and Old Hunt was visibly shivering with fear, his hand loosened, and the fifth sack fell back into the cellar.
Old Hunt jumped up and down in anger, glaring at Catch the Goat:
“Damn skeleton frame, looking for death, right!”
But when he saw the silver ghostly fire under the other party’s hood, his body abruptly stiffened and he stretched out his fingers and trembled:
“Spirit, spirit figurine? You …… you are ……”
“What are you gibbering about? Does this body of mine still have a deterrent aura?”
Catching Goat couldn’t understand what the other party was ghost shouting, but he could see that this was a good opportunity!
He steeply accelerated, the distance of three or four meters instantly shortened, and his long sword covered his head and slashed down!
Clang!
In the nick of time, Old Hunter regained his composure, he raised his right hand, which was as black as a claw, and actually blocked the sword!
Then his face revealed ecstasy!
“Hahaha, weak ants, you’re not, you’re not them!”
His other hand scratched across his face, and four bright red blood marks instantly appeared, followed by four thin blood strands extending out, connecting to the four sacks on the ground.
“Body of burning blood, fight for me!”
Old Hunter shouted hoarsely, his right hand pushed hard, and Catch Sheep was pushed out by a strong force.
The latter appeared to stagger to the ground, but unloaded most of the impact with a back roll.
The moment he got up he half crouched on the ground, holding his wooden shield across his body and taking a half step back with one foot.
Almost at the same time, Old Hunter, his body bathed in blood light, lunged over like a ghostly shadow!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bloody claws left deep marks on the wooden shield in succession, and his opponent’s feet sunk deep into the scorched earth, but he blocked the string of attacks hard!
The perfection of the duo’s coordination was as if they had discussed it in advance ……
“This is impossible!!!”
Old Hunter’s face revealed a look of horror!
Obviously it was the first time they fought, how did this skeleton completely see through his own routine?
At this time, he suddenly realized something strange, why was there no movement behind him?
He was about to throw down this piece of difficult to gnaw bones, but did not want to throat sweet, vomited a large mouthful of blood!
Old Hunter turned around in a panic, only to see a thin figure holding double daggers, standing up from the fourth blood-stained sack.
His daggers were bloodstained, while large puddles of blood oozed out from underneath the first three sacks without exception ……
“No…”
