Outside the Valley of Sighs, a battle between two tribes was going on, but inside the valley, there was no sound of birds or insects.
The only sound was the slight creaking sound made by the skeletons walking, which sounded more beautiful than the most beautiful music to Arthur, Moral and others, because it meant that they had obtained another piece of magic equipment.
Moral picked up a huge nail hammer from the weapons left by the orcs. Whenever a walking skeleton appeared, he was always the first to rush up. With one hammer, the skeleton's skeleton would shatter to the ground, and then he could pick up the spoils from it.
Another skeleton appeared, and Moral rushed up again before Joan.
This skeleton was particularly tall and strong, with a pointed helmet on its head. Judging from its body shape, it should have been a Minotaur among the orcs. But in Moral's opinion, all skeletons were the same, all of them were moving fortune-giving boys, and all he needed was to swing a hammer.
Moral struck with a hammer, but the expected scene of the skeleton breaking did not occur. The skeleton twisted its body and dodged nimbly.
Moral was stunned for a moment. This skeleton could actually dodge!
While Moral was still stunned, the long sword in the skeleton's hand had already chopped down at him head-on.
"Molar, get out of the way!" Arthur shouted anxiously beside him.
Moral knew to retreat in panic, but suddenly he tripped and sat on the ground.
The skeleton's long sword fell down, and the sword tip was chopped between Moral's legs by accident. The sword tip was less than an inch away from his heirloom, which scared Moral so much that he almost peed.
The sword did not hit, and the skeleton's sword was raised again.
At this time, Arthur had already rushed up, and the Star Meteoric Sword was lifted, just colliding head-on with the sword chopped down by the skeleton.
The Star Meteoric Sword was powerful and heavy, and Arthur charged again to hit, wanting to test the strength of the skeleton. The two swords intersected, and the sword in the skeleton's hand flew out at once.
Arthur stepped forward and swung his sword horizontally, and the skeleton moved to the side to dodge. However, Arthur's sword was long and fast, and the skeleton couldn't dodge at all. The lumbar vertebrae connecting the upper and lower body were cut off by a sword.
Only the upper body of the skeleton was still moving, supporting itself with its arms and crawling towards Arthur, still wanting to attack.
Arthur saw a little faint fire from its empty eye sockets, the fire of the soul!
This skeleton was already a dead creature. Arthur followed up with a sword and smashed its head, and the skeleton was completely disintegrated.
"It's agile, but not strong enough. Its combat power barely meets the standard of a first-level human warrior." This is Arthur's evaluation of the skeleton.
"Didn't you say before that these skeletons were not dead creatures? Why are they now dead creatures?" Gold asked.
Arthur spread his hands. This canyon was too strange. Arthur couldn't explain it at all.
"Strange, why is there no magic item on this skeleton? It couldn't be smashed by your sword just now." Moral climbed into the pile of skeletons without getting up from the ground, but strangely, he found nothing.
Just when everyone was puzzled, June suddenly shouted, "Wait, look at what this is?"
What June picked up from the skeleton was something like a pebble. The pebble had no color, and the surface was smooth and translucent, like a colorless, impurity-free amber.
Arthur took the pebble from June, and the moment he held it in his hand, he felt the peculiarity of the pebble. This pebble actually contains rich energy!
Arthur closed his eyes, and his fighting spirit circulated. The energy in the pebble was introduced into his body along with the fighting spirit. Arthur opened his eyes, his face showing undisguised joy. After one cycle of You Qi circulation, the You Qi left in his body was almost three times that of the previous practice.
"How is it?"
"What on earth is this?"
Gold and Joan asked impatiently.
"Try it yourself." Arthur handed the pebble to Gold.
After Gold, it was Hug hie, then Joan, Alia, and the old dwarf. The pebble turned around in everyone's hands. Everyone showed an expression of surprise or excitement.
"Everyone can absorb the energy they need from it, right? If I'm not mistaken, this thing is the Yuan Jing we are looking for!"
"This thing is simply amazing!" Gold couldn't help but exclaimed.
Everyone's face was filled with excited smiles. They thought it would take some effort, but they didn't expect to complete the goal of this mission so easily.
"Okay, let's continue. There must be a lot of these things in the canyon. Let's collect as many as possible and go back as soon as possible after we're done." Arthur looked up at the sky while speaking. Although he couldn't see the sun, the sky was getting dark. A day had passed unknowingly. Because they were always in the excitement of continuous harvest, no one felt the passage of time, and they didn't even feel hungry.
Arthur had to force everyone to stop and rest, replenish food and take a nap, because they had to prepare for the battle next. The skeletons they encountered now were already undead creatures. They would actively attack and dodge. Although the one they killed before was weak in combat power, no one dared to guarantee that there was no stronger existence in the depths of the canyon.
When several people woke up from their naps, the canyon had completely darkened.
There was no moonlight tonight. The canyon was dark and pitch-black. A sigh-like wind blew past, making people shudder.
Alia lit up a ball of light, and the soft white light illuminated most of the canyon within a few dozen meters in front of her, and also dispelled the fear that shrouded her heart.
It feels great to have a priest of light in the team!
Arthur and his team continued to explore the depths of the canyon, but the expected battle did not happen. Occasionally, a walking skeleton would appear, but it was not the undead creature they had encountered before, so naturally they did not obtain the Nanjing again.
Going further, the canyon gradually became narrower and narrower, and finally even the dry bones on the ground disappeared. It seemed that the warriors of the two tribes had only walked here at the deepest.
"Could it be that the undead creature just now was formed by chance?" Several people looked at each other in confusion, but no one had an answer.
"Let's go on. Since we haven't reached the end yet, we have to go to the end of the canyon to see what's there?"
As soon as Arthur finished speaking, before they took a step, they heard a dense sound of clacking from the depths of the canyon.
Arthur and his team immediately prepared for the battle. There were only enemies here! But everyone's eyes were shining with excitement. There would be gains if there was a battle.
The crackling sound was getting closer and closer, as if countless spiders were crawling on the paper, making people feel creepy.
A little bit of dense fire suddenly appeared in front and moved quickly towards Arthur and the others.
"Alia, light ball!"
A light ball flew forward, illuminating the skeleton warriors holding weapons and wearing armor. The little fire that was seen before was clearly the soul fire jumping in the eyes of the skeletons.
The skeletons were next to each other, so dense that you couldn't see the end at a glance.
Everyone's face changed drastically. They just wanted to hunt a few skeletons, but now they were waiting for a skeleton army!
