Qin Xuan looked down intently, lost in thought.
He was now very curious as to who could possibly have such a grand scheme, capable of mobilizing so many skeletons and arranging them into such neat formations.
After much thought, Qin Xuan couldn't figure it out and could only observe the skeletons from above.
Led by the knights, all the skeletons obediently followed, not a single one straying from the ranks.
Horn blasts echoed one after another, and under the guidance of the horns and knights, the skeletons had formed a long line and were continuously advancing.
Just like that, Qin Xuan waited in the tree for a good half an hour, yet the skeletal procession still showed no sign of ending.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Xuan finally grew a little impatient.
He slightly raised his head and looked around.
“From what I see, entering Ghost Mountain and then trying to leave might not be a simple matter. In my opinion, it's best to follow this group and see; perhaps there will be an unexpected gain!”
Xiao Bai suddenly spoke, suggesting to Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at the skeletal procession below grew serious.
“Indeed, this is Ghost Mountain, a true 絕地. Although nothing unexpected has happened yet, staying here is clearly not a good idea!”
Qin Xuan said, looking up at the sky.
At this moment, the red sun in the sky had already begun to set slightly.
At this rate, the sun would eventually set in a few hours.
Even with the sun still out, a layer of Yin Qi always enveloped this place.
Once the sun set, the situation would only become more dangerous.
“Right now, only skeletons are appearing here, but if this continues, the danger here will increase again.”
“Currently, the master of this place may not have discovered us. The longer we stay here, the greater the chance of being discovered. In short, it's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's take it one step at a time; it's better than doing nothing here.”
Han Ye also suggested this.
“Moreover, if we keep waiting here, we don't know when this long procession will end; it might even be possible that it never reaches its end.”
Qin Xuan was already somewhat moved, and hearing this, he nodded slightly, then secretly slipped down from the tree and came to its base.
This invisibility cloak was indeed good; as long as Qin Xuan concealed his Qi and focused his mind, neither the skeletons nor the knights detected him.
Secretly following beside the skeletons, Qin Xuan cautiously trailed them all the way.
Countless skeletons stood in line, following the knights forward.
The river water churned endlessly beside them.
Just like that, Qin Xuan followed the skeletal procession, moving forward.
Along the way, the knights always stayed beside the skeletons, leading the many skeletons.
“No matter how I look at it, this thing seems strange. Why does this skeleton team look like an army?”
Qin Xuan was somewhat puzzled, and Xiao Bai and Han Ye felt the same.
The movements of these skeletons were uniform and coordinated, appearing much more agile than the armies of Da Gan that he had seen before.
“Let's follow and see; this thing looks a bit eerie!”
Han Ye whispered a reminder to Qin Xuan, who continued to follow.
The vast skeletal army stretched as far as the eye could see. Even though Qin Xuan secretly sped up, after walking for several hours, he still hadn't reached the very front of the skeletal ranks.
How could it never end?
Qin Xuan looked around in surprise, then found a tall ancient tree and silently climbed up. After a while, he reached the very top of the tree.
Standing high up and looking down, Qin Xuan still couldn't see the end.
“Sneak up and take a look, see if there's anything!”
Han Ye said, and Qin Xuan nodded, stomping hard on the treetop, using the Spiritual Qi to shoot up dozens of feet, then he looked down and immediately gasped.
Just below, as far as his eyes could see, a road of troops stretched for dozens of miles, with no end in sight from beginning to end!
Looking at this skeletal army, Qin Xuan was dumbfounded.
“There must be hundreds of thousands of skeletons here!”
Skeletons filled the entire riverbank; so many skeletons moving simultaneously was simply terrifying.
And this was just the tip of the iceberg of what he saw; there might be even more skeletons in other places!
Every mile or so, a knight would be stationed nearby, leading these skeletons forward.
“This is too many. Ghost Mountain is considered a 絕地, so how could so many skeletons appear?”
Every skeleton meant there was a Human Race; had so many people died in Ghost Mountain?
Just as Qin Xuan was wondering, a sharp booming sound suddenly came from nearby.
Qin Xuan reacted quickly, immediately dodging to the side.
“Whoosh!”
An arrow instantly shot past from the side.
This was a black arrow, already corroded and carrying a thick black Qi.
“Where did that come from?”
Qin Xuan immediately looked down. A moment later, a flash of light appeared in his eyes.
Below, a knight was raising a bow and arrow placed on a skeletal horse's back, staring intently at Qin Xuan, with green flames constantly flickering in his eyes.
“Whoosh!”
At the same time, dozens more arrows shot over from the side.
Looking around, many skeletal knights below were also aiming their bows and arrows at Qin Xuan.
“Damn it, don't I have an invisibility cloak? How did I get exposed!”
Qin Xuan said with an ugly expression,
He hadn't expected that even with his careful control of his movements, he would still be discovered!
“It seems I used Spiritual Qi just now!”
“Although your movements were very careful, you used Spiritual Qi just now. They are very sensitive to Spiritual Qi, so they naturally detected the anomaly immediately.”
After all, this place is full of Death Qi!
Xiao Bai also poked his head out from Qin Xuan's embrace and looked down.
“Roar!”
At this moment, the skeletons below all raised their heads in unison, staring at Qin Xuan and roaring towards him.
“Whoosh!”
More and more arrows carrying black Qi flew up, trying to shoot Qin Xuan down.
Although these arrows weren't very powerful, as more and more flew up, Qin Xuan still found it difficult to dodge left and right.
“Let's go, the skeletons below are starting to get more and more numerous. If we drag this out, it will only be more disadvantageous for us!”
Han Ye reminded Qin Xuan.
More and more skeletons gathered, and those knights also crowded together, continuously shooting arrows at Qin Xuan.
“Roar!”
A roar came from nearby.
Dozens of fierce tigers, their bodies shrouded in black Qi, pounced towards Qin Xuan.
A moment later, these fierce tigers had reached below Qin Xuan.
Then, all the skeletons squeezed together, stacking layer upon layer like a pagoda, continuously approaching Qin Xuan.
“Damn it, they're using this method to get close to me!”
Qin Xuan grimaced, looking down in surprise.
As more and more skeletons piled higher and higher, after a while, those dozens of skeletal tigers roared, accelerated from the top of the pile of skeletons, and charged wildly towards Qin Xuan!
