The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0011

Today is not a good day. Early in the morning, Astali? The blood ax shattered the table in the meeting hall, and the angry roar resounded through the camp.

"Who? Who the hell?" Astali Blood Ax is a 2-meter-tall barbaric man with a leather skirt made of animal skin wrapped around his waist and a leather robe on his upper body that is half-draped and half-worn. His beard and body hair couldn't cover the scars on his body, they criss-crossed, and his muscles curled up. With the burst of anger, all the scars turned crimson red, making it even more terrifying. "Who the hell attacked our three guard posts?"

The thieves who just ran back to report the news were obviously frightened, knelt there trembling, how could they not describe what happened at the sentry post? The angry Astali Blood Ax yelled loudly, pinched the little leader and threw it into the air, a flash of light from the ax flashed, the body was split in half, and the hot blood splashed on the face of Astali Blood Axe , even more aroused, his blood was racing, and he wanted to rush out and have a fight with the National People's Congress immediately.

All the gangsters in the hall were aroused and clamored to find out the murderer. Only one thin and gloomy thief, Avor, was still frowning and thinking hard. Seeing that the hall was really noisy, Avor jumped in front of Astali Blood Axe, pressed his arm and tried to persuade him: "Boss, this can't be done, this is very abnormal! Three guard posts are separated from each other. It’s not close, and it’s still very hidden. They were all attacked, and no one came back to report. Is it because the attackers are too powerful, or there are too many people, and they can’t escape after being surrounded? We must figure it out, and we can’t go out blindly!”

Astali? Blood Ax suppressed his anger, threw away the thief Avor, and said, "What do you think?"

"I will take a few brothers out to look for clues. If there are many people on the other side, they will definitely find clues!"

"Okay! Let the bald head go with you!"

Hearing the leader's name, a bald man came out with an ax in mind. He was one of the two level 7 berserkers.

The thief Avor nodded, greeted him, and led a dozen of his direct subordinates and bald heads out of the camp, and went straight to the hillside guard post where the accident was first discovered.

Li Xun stood on a treetop one mile away from the old nest of the blood axe. Just now, he saw a group of young people running back to the camp to report the news. Li swarmed out and went straight to the direction of the hillside guard post. In Li Xun's soul vision, the light of the souls of the two leaders is crimson, it seems that they should be the leaders of the camp. My current experience value is (186/500), killing these people, I am not far from upgrading. Hmph, time is always on your side!

But it's easy to defeat a dozen or so people, but it's a bit difficult to wipe them all out, especially if there is a berserker professional among them, it's really hard to say whether your own skeleton warrior can withstand it. It seemed that he had to find a place to ambush, and he had to be the main force, and he couldn't cause someone to escape because of pity on mana.

...

As expected of a veteran thief, Avor found that the color of the mud behind the thatched hut was not right within 3 minutes after he arrived at the hillside sentry post. With an order, more than a dozen people worked together, and soon 5 corpses were dug out. . Avor checked quickly. The one with the broken head was obviously attacked by a spell, and the remaining four died from knife wounds. Judging from the number of wounds, there were quite a few of them. In addition, there are many strange footprints around the thatched huts and the pits, which don't look like human beings, but rather like the bones of skeletons! Skeletons... Undead creatures? When did these filthy skeletons appear in the Whispering Forest?

Judging from the scene, there should be spellcasters and skeletons. Could it be that a certain mage summoned skeletons to attack several sentry posts? "Summoning Skeletons" is not a high-level spell. Many mages will master this spell for free labor, but after all, the summoned ones are only the lowest-grade gray bone skeletons. A farmer wielding a pitchfork can smash two or three to deal with The thieves of the thieves group are not enough to watch, unless they are strengthened skeleton warriors. The ability to strengthen skeletons is the specialty of necromancers!

Avor was startled, could it be that the vicious skeletons in the south sneaked in here? If those skeletons want to come to the Principality of Novus to do something, there is really no better place than the Whispering Forest. Although the Avilli Mountains in the south are also very hidden, the Principality army has stationed various fortresses in dangerous places, keeping a close eye on the Avilli Mountains. From this point of view, the Whispering Forest is far more suitable than the Avilli Mountains . Once the skeletons are allowed to take root in the Whispering Forest, in the future, the war in the south will attract the principality's army, and the principality's ass will be poked here immediately!

The more Avor thought about it, the more afraid he became. The bones in the south are a big force, and they, a small group of thieves, can't compete. Regardless of the facts, we must quickly find the leader and discuss future development. It seems that the Whispering Forest is no longer a place to stay for a long time!

Avor never thought about it to the principality mage, that would never happen! Even if those mage masters use the most gorgeous carriages, they can't even try to invite them out of the mage tower, let alone come to the Whispering Forest to drill ravines and climb mud!

Afuer suppressed his agitated emotions, and quickly ordered in a low voice: "Take the corpse and go back to the mountain!"

The confidants around him asked in astonishment: "There are still two sentry posts that you don't want to visit?"

Avor yelled impatiently: "Don't ask so many questions, take the corpse and go!"

Finding some sackcloth from the thatched hut, several of Avor's men tied the corpse behind their backs with a sad face, quickly cleaned up the sentry post, and quietly set off on their way home.

The bald head asked impatiently in a rough voice: "Going back now? The leader asked us to come out to catch and kill our bastards! Just take a few corpses back like this, what should the leader do if he gets angry?"

Avor had nothing to do with this reckless man who only listened to the leader's orders, so he could only whisper: "Stop bald, stop dawdling, it's not safe here. You can see a lot of things from the corpse, and you need to report to the leader quickly."

The bald head shrugged indifferently, and followed Avor in a big stride.

Turning left and right in the dense forest, although there is a familiar path under your feet and a familiar jungle around you, Avor is still a little scared. He always feels that there is a kind of strangeness hidden in this familiarity, and there is a faint trace of it in it. hostility. Avor glanced around vigilantly, a voice in his heart kept urging him to leave here quickly, but he couldn't find the source of danger. Abandon these people and escape back to the cottage as quickly as possible? How to explain to the leader after going back?

Avor was almost tormented by the silent jungle. Where is the enemy? Could it be that his group has been targeted by the enemy?

Nothing happened all the way, the return journey has already gone halfway, and there are 3 miles to go back to the cottage. Avor took the lead and walked in the forefront of the team, and suddenly raised his hand, the whole team stopped.

This is a familiar path, they just passed here an hour ago, but now it is very different!

The wet muddy ground is full of messy and strange footprints, the footprints of skeleton five-finger bones and human footprints!

Avor climbed up the big tree next to him three times and two times, and looked around, everything was so quiet and peaceful, with no one inhabited. The forest is lush with foliage, and the distance that can be seen is very limited, but at least there is no movement within a hundred meters.

Jumping off the big tree, Avor picked out 3 men who were good at tracking and finding objects, and carefully stepped forward to check.

After a while, three subordinates reported back. Judging from the signs, someone came from the direction of the camp and was attacked by two skeletons here. Then the body or corpse was dragged westward. No blood was found at the scene. It took about half the time. It's been an hour.

Avor gritted his teeth and ordered in a low voice: "The three of you lead the way, follow up and have a look, and move slowly."

As soon as the team turned around, under the leadership of the three thieves, they sneaked westward along the traces left behind.

After walking about 200 meters, turning over a small hill, a thief reported that he found a turned mound.

It seems that someone in the cottage was killed again. From the perspective of time, not long after my team set off, the cottage sent people out, following the same route as my group. Could it be that the leader sent people to chase me and was attacked on the way?

Avor thought for a while, but still felt that it would be better to find out who was killed. He waved his hand and asked his men to dig out the body. The 5 subordinates with the corpse on their backs had difficulty moving, panting and standing nearby to guard, while Avor and the bald head stood by the mound and watched the 7 subordinates digging.

The mound of soil was not deep, and after digging a few times with a side weapon, it hit a hard object. Just as the thieves bent down and scraped the soil with their hands, the attack came.
