Chapter 32 (1/2)
Past the forest was a grass plain.
About an hour later.
They finally made it through the plains.
Along the way, Wang Jue had thought that they would get attacked by wild beasts, but he realized that he was overthinking.
It seemed that those wild beasts would only go berserk at night.
What Wang Jue didn’t know was that wild beasts could also sense danger.
Be it the Shadow Beings or Quina, they were extremely dangerous existences to the wild beasts.
They would not provoke them.
This made Wang Jue, who wanted to kill a few wild beasts along the way, a little disappointed.
What are wild beasts?
They are moving resources!
There was a chance that something good would drop from killing them, and they could even be broken down into fresh meat and fur.
Wang Jue and company passed through the plains and entered a slightly desolate area.
The soil on the ground had white spider web-like patterns.
Other than that, there were also wisps of mist emanating from the ground.
This was supposed to be the intersection between the forest and the grass plains.
However, it had turned into such a desolate place.
The strangest thing was that as far as the eye could see, in this strange land, some undulating terrain revealed ghastly white bones.
These bones appeared to be made of jade. It was unknown how long they had been buried here.
It was actually not rotten, like the skeleton of the elf that Wang Jue dug up previously.
“Stop, everyone!”
Wang Jue waved his hand to get everyone to stop.
He asked Elder Jian, “Elder Jian, what is this place?”
“Overlord, this is the Skeleton Forest. It is a path we must take to enter the ruin, but this place is extremely dangerous. Even we do not dare to linger here.”
With that said, he paused and said, “Overlord, you don’t have to worry. We have a safe path that will bring us to the ruin safely.”
Wang Jue understood.
He began to observe this land.
[Withering Boneyard]
[The Demon Legion buried the slaughtered elves and the corpses of various clansmen here, creating a path of burial. The elves are unable to get protection here.]
A golden hint appeared.
It answered Wang Jue’s doubts.
Wang Jue arched his brow.
As an excavation lover, he instinctively felt that there should be more to this boneyard.
“Are there any treasures here?”
[There are 170,000 commoners, 57,000 city guards from the elves, and more than 100,000 alliance soldiers and mercenaries buried here. The corpses stain the ground and stretch on for 179 kilometers. It was set up by the Demon Legion to seal off Esala. If you start digging recklessly, you might alert the undead sleeping underground.]
[Unless you have a Great Necromancer, don’t look for trouble here.]
After reading the hint, Wang Jue immediately gave up.
This burial ground was a place of great danger.
If some monster were to appear later and kill us all, it wouldn’t be worth it.
“Let’s continue forward.”
Carl nodded. He led the way on his horse.
At the side, Quina said, “Lord, this boneyard seems to be targeted at the elves. My strength has been suppressed by at least a third here!”
Wang Jue remained silent.
This boneyard was specially built by that demon legion to deal with the elves, so Wang Jue wasn’t surprised by what Quina was feeling.
The party quickly passed through the boneyard and saw an extremely eye-catching small path into the mountains.
The trees in the forest were lush and green.
The moment they entered, they felt the surroundings suddenly dim.
The Shadow Being’s guard, Hei An, was instead like a fish in water in this dark forest.
Both sides of the path were also filled with dense vegetation.
Emerald vines.
Boulders covered in moss.
