Ruian looked over attentively, and saw five or six people walking not far from the tree. ~ Because each person held a torch in his hand, looking over from the top of Ruian's tree, the torches illuminated everyone's situation.
clearly visible.
This group of people is the teammates from the Tiger Mercenary Group who just joined Ruian's team. These people are forming a formation and walking cautiously, but their expressions are more solemn, and several of them are cursing as they walk.
Vent your dissatisfaction.
Seeing that it was this group of people, Ryan immediately had no interest in going down to join them, because he knew very well that even if he went down to join them, he would be rejected by them, or even ignored by them. Besides, if he went down to join them, he would still be ignored.
Walking in circles in the fog, you may encounter danger at any time, it is safer to hide on the top of the tree and wait for dawn.
Just as I was thinking about it, the people under the tree quickly walked over and walked into the gray mist, and soon no one was visible.
Ryan adjusted his position in the branch on the top of the tree, trying to make himself more comfortable and ready to respond to danger at any time.
After a while, a very clear sound of fighting was heard in the distance.
Ryan looked in the direction of the fighting sound, but saw nothing. It was still a gray fog, so Ryan could only listen to the sound of fighting, and only heard howls mixed with human voices.
"Watch your back."
"There are a lot of skeletons on the left side.
"Come and help, there are a lot of skeletons here."
Howls, voices, fighting sounds, and all kinds of sounds came to Ruian's ears. Ruian couldn't tell who these sounds belonged to, but it didn't prevent Ruian from hearing that they were from a certain team that came together to perform the mission.
Mercenaries.
"They are indeed skeletons. I wonder how powerful these skeletons are in combat?" Ruian thought to himself. He could tell who the enemy was from some of the words he heard.
At the beginning, the mercenaries seemed to have the upper hand, because their voices were calmer and more organized, and there were fewer howls, and it was estimated that the number of skeletons was also smaller.
But as the battle progressed, the howls became more and more frequent, more rapid, and more sharp. Obviously, the number of skeletons became more and more. At this time, the words of the mercenaries were full of panic.
Full of fear.
Then the skeletons seemed to gain the upper hand, and mercenaries began to appear injured, because the sounds that reached Ryan's ears began to be mixed with screams.
Later, the screams became more and more frequent, and calls for help began to appear. It was obvious that the situation of the mercenaries was very bad at this time, and the howls seemed to become more frequent.
After that, the screams and calls for help became quieter and quieter, and there were fewer mercenaries. Some of them should have died.
Finally, all the human voices suddenly disappeared, leaving only the rapid and sharp howling. The mercenaries should have been wiped out. After a while, the rapid and sharp howling calmed down a lot, and returned to the howl that had been lingering in the ears.
Call status.
"It seems that although the enemy is just a skeleton, it is much stronger than imagined. With our fifty mercenaries with level 3 swordsmen and above, they are no match for them." Ruian secretly thought sadly. Regarding everything that happened.
There was nothing he could do about the situation, so he could only watch silently.
After a while, the light of several torches flashed by in the distance under the tree. It was obvious that several more mercenaries were rushing through the fog and passed by in the distance under the tree.
There are not many people. Ruian is probably a mercenary from the other two teams. Like Ruian's team, they should be divided into several small teams. Each team only has a few people. In this way, it will give the enemy a chance to defeat each other. If
If everyone gathers together, the enemy may not be able to defeat the mercenaries so easily. It seems that the biggest failure in tonight's mission is the detachment, and then the detachment again.
Later, midnight passed, and Ruian saw several people passing under the tree. These people still refused to give up, still wandering around in the fog, and still did not seek other methods.
Ruian also heard the sounds of fighting several times. Some were far away and only vague sounds of fighting were heard. Some were very close and the sounds were clear, but the fighting scenes could not be seen in the fog. These sounds of fighting finally
Unsurprisingly, they all ended with the mercenaries being wiped out.
"Tonight's mission was a complete failure. It is estimated that the entire army will be annihilated. I wonder if there is any danger if I hide in the tree? I hope the enemy does not find me." Ruian secretly prayed.
At this time, much of the night had passed. Ruian looked at the bright moon that was still faintly visible in the sky through the relatively light fog. He estimated the time and found that it was still midnight and the sun was about to come out.
As long as Ruian stays up for a little longer, the danger will be over. He doesn't know if there are any mercenaries left, and even if there are, he doesn't know if these people can avoid the skeleton's attack.
Ruian waited slowly, and finally when it was almost dawn, more than a dozen torches came from a distance under the tree.
Ruian quickly looked over and saw the vague figures of about a dozen scary people. Ruian found some familiar figures, including Qifitetuo, the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group, and someone who was in the same team as Ruian before.
middle-aged mercenaries, and several neutral mercenaries who were previously in the same team.
Judging from this appearance, it must be that after a night of wandering, all the remaining people gathered together.
Some of the mercenaries had some blood stains on their bodies and were wrapped with some zip ties. They were obviously injured after a battle. There were also some mercenaries who had complete equipment and intact bodies. They had obviously not experienced a battle yet.
All the mercenaries looked down, and some of the mercenaries' eyes were full of fear and despair. When passing under the Ruian tree, Qifitetuo, who was walking at the front of the team, turned his head and cheered loudly: "Everyone, just hold on, we will almost be there."
It's dawn, and as long as it's dawn, the fog will dissipate and we'll be safe."
Watching the team passing under Ruian's tree, Ruian didn't move as if he had been hit by a restraining spell. When the team first appeared, Ruian suddenly wanted to get down from the tree and join them. But at that moment, Ruian's heart arose.
It was an ominous sign. He felt that if he went down to join them, he would most likely encounter fatal danger.
At this moment, Ruian gave up the idea of going down to join up, and watched helplessly as the team passed under the tree and headed towards the front.
Just a few breaths after the team disappeared into the confusion, a sudden change occurred.
"Be careful, there are skeletons ambush." Zifitetuo's scream sounded.
Ruian immediately became nervous. He quickly slowed down his breathing and looked in the direction where the team had just disappeared. Unfortunately, there was no torch shining on the ground, and what he saw was still gray.
Suddenly, Ruian saw several black figures moving on the ground. Those movements seemed to turn over the soil on the ground, and then someone came out of the ground. In the blink of an eye, the person who emerged from the ground stood up and formed a figure.
Ruian briefly counted and found that there were five figures, and then the figures seemed to move in slow motion towards the direction of the team, obviously wanting to outflank the mercenary team that had just passed by.
"These should be skeletons. It turns out they all came out of the ground." Ruian guessed in his heart.
Then, Ruian heard a series of sounds coming from the mercenary team ahead.
"Everyone, back up quickly. There are many skeletons ahead."
"Ah, there's a skull mouth at the back too.
"We are surrounded."
The mercenary team seemed to retreat a certain distance before being blocked by the skeletons behind them. At this time, their position was relatively close to Ruian, and Ruian could see several torches, which meant that he could see half of the team.
There were more than a dozen skeletons that came into Ryan's sight. Ryan finally saw what the skeleton looked like, and he was startled for a moment.
The skeleton was all dark, and the skeleton seemed to be thicker than the normal human skeleton. The skeleton was not entirely composed of bones. Many skeletons had a few pieces of rotten muscle on their bodies.
The skeletons are not without anything. Some skeletons are still wearing rusty armor, some are wearing rusty helmets, some have clothes that are not rotten, and some are in tatters. The cloth strips are hanging on the body.
Each skeleton held a weapon in its hand, some held a rusty sword, some held a large piece of bone that was taken from an unknown source, similar to a thigh bone, and some held something unknown. A weapon with the word "ruo".
There are also several skeletons holding bronze-green shields in their other arms, looking fully armed.
The skeletons have one thing in common, that is, there are two eerie green flames shining in their eye sockets.
Another characteristic of the skeletons is that they keep raising their heads upwards, then howling at the sky, making a sharp and sharp howling sound, then lowering their heads, and after a few breaths, they raise their heads again and howl. It keeps looping 1 as if it never gets tired.
The image of the skeleton makes people feel very scary. Even though Ryan was well prepared, he was still shocked when he saw it.
The movements of all the skeletons are very slow, like the slow-motion robots in Ryan's previous life. They walk slowly and raise their hands slowly, like dolls with strings. However, when the skeletons attack, they move very fast, comparable to ordinary people. The speed at which the mercenary swings his sword.
The skeleton suddenly changes speed from time to time, which brings a lot of trouble to the mercenaries. If all the movements of the skeleton were very slow, it would not be scary, but the actual situation is not like this. The normal slow motion of the skeleton seems to be Accumulate speed, accumulate strength, and then suddenly make such a fast move, making it difficult for the mercenaries to parry.
Soon, the mercenaries fought with the skeletons, but the result surprised Ruian. The mercenaries chopped down the slow-motion skeletons to the ground in just a few strokes.
However, before the mercenaries could take a breath, more than a dozen skeletons emerged from the open space. What was even more frightening was that the skeletons that had clearly been chopped down slowly got up again.
