Rogel keenly noticed the hidden information within the words "abandoned bones".
However, he couldn’t confirm it and could only continue forward.
"Before we leave, let’s flip these small carts over first."
The pixelated version of Rogel diligently started searching through the small carts.
[You found bone shards ×6.]
[You found armor fragnts ×1.]
[You found iron ore fragnts ×1.]
[...]
Alright, there are no treasures in these small carts.
After finishing the search, Rogel set off on the Road of Abandoned Bones, moving along the path.
Soon enough, Rogel arrived at a bonfire.
Three of the Dead Abandoned were gathered here.
However, they looked much more elite than those below the Abandoned Bone Cliff.
Their armor was intact, their weapons were extrely sharp, and the soul flas in their eye sockets were much more intense.
[Blade of the Dead Abandoned]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 7]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Explanation: Elite warriors among the Dead Abandoned, stationed on the Road of Abandoned Bones.]
Their nas changed and appeared much more advanced than the minions below.
Moreover, their insight was clearly much higher than the Soldiers of the Dead Abandoned.
[Huff!]
One of the Blades of the Dead Abandoned fixed its gaze on Rogel, and after a mont, stood up from beside the bonfire, striking its weapon with a low growl.
The two Blades of the Dead Abandoned beside it also stood up and charged at Rogel.
"Damn, can they see from that far away?"
"Aren’t you all supposed to be eyeless..."
Rogel’s eyelid twitched.
The insight of these Blades of the Dead Abandoned was truly exceptional.
Rogel raised the Skeleton Spirit Staff in his hand and began chanting a spell.
The Blades of the Dead Abandoned moved quickly and got within two or three ters of Rogel in the ti he was chanting.
But it was all for naught.
If it’s made of bones, it belongs to !
Rogel’s Skeleton Manipulation flew directly toward the three Blades of the Dead Abandoned.
Boom!
The three Blades of the Dead Abandoned were instantly reduced to bone fragnts by the Skeleton Secret Technique, scattering across the ground.
[You killed Blade of the Dead Abandoned and gained combat experience.]
[You killed Blade of the Dead Abandoned and gained combat experience.]
[You killed Blade of the Dead Abandoned, gained combat experience, and leveled up!]
After slaying the three Blades of the Dead Abandoned, Rogel gleefully went to pick up the dropped items.
However, before he could touch the loot, several sharp, piercing sounds rang out.
[Caw—]
[Caw—]
The sound was reminiscent of a crow’s call but sharper and louder.
Rogel followed the sound to find a few sharp skeletal crow heads growing on the tattered banner pole.
It was them making the noise.
Without a doubt, they were sending a signal to the other monsters around—enemy invasion!
[You have alard the nearby monsters.]
"Damn!"
Rogel pulled out the Armor-Piercing Spear and stabbed it at the banner, knocking it down.
The fallen banner did not make the sa sound as before.
But Rogel didn’t receive a kill notification.
This left him with no choice but to strike the banner again with the Armor-Piercing Spear.
Even after the Crow-Headed Banner was completely shattered, no notification ca through.
It seed to be just a kind of prop.
Rogel felt a bit frustrated.
Rumble!
Just then, the sound of thundering hooves ca from afar.
A large troop of Dead Abandoned Cavalry, bearing long knives and riding skeletal horses, charged rapidly toward Rogel.
Leading them was a Skeleton Knight clad in thick bone armor, wielding a Sharp Bone Spear, and exceptionally tall.
The skeleton horse beneath it was also mighty, with purple flas roaring in its hollow eyes, streaking across the terrain in swift pursuit.
[Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Boss]
[Level: 9]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Explanation: The leader of the Dead Abandoned Cavalry; the Sharp Bone Spear possesses imnse penetrating power, best not to appear in front of it.]
If it were just the one Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry, Rogel felt he could manage a fight.
But the problem was, following the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry was an entire cavalry troop.
And what’s more suffocating was that they were only the vanguard.
Even more bizarre creatures of the Dead Abandoned were following behind.
[Mourning Laborers]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Common]
[Level: 7]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Explanation: Mourning laborers usually need only to mine continuously for 24 hours in the Fire lt Cave to rest and during combat, they simply push self-destructive carts to charge—a leisurely task.]
Pushing their small carts, they bore a blazing Dead Abandoned on board.
[Heh heh heh!]
The half-headed mourning laborer emitted a frenzied roar and dashed toward Rogel.
These were just the monsters Rogel saw in the forefront.
Beyond them were countless other abominations he hadn’t even had a chance to notice.
Because the Sharp Bone Spear nearly stabbed toward Rogel’s head!
"Holy crap!"
Rogel felt a chill run down his spine.
Facing an army like this, only a fool would confront them head-on.
Rogel considered reverting but hesitated.
The recent frequent reverts had grown tireso and lost their novelty.
"Forget it, constant reverts are boring."
Rogel turned to the Abandoned Bone Cliff and ran, leaping off the edge once he reached it.
Who needs to revert, it’s all about the thrill!
Swish!
[Ho...]
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry halted at the cliff’s edge, staring directly at Rogel safely landed below.
Landing softly, Rogel dusted his hands off and turned to look at the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry above.
Their eyes locked.
"They shouldn’t be able to co down, right?"
Rogel stroked his chin.
To be honest, the cliff was quite high and with no path around, the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry shouldn’t be able to descend.
Yet unexpectedly, a scene unfolded that caught him off guard.
From the skeleton steed, the Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry extended a hand, and several cannon-wielding Dead Abandoned rushed in.
A row of black cannon muzzles aid straight at Rogel.
"Oh no!"
Seriously?
Rogel was montarily dumbfounded but swiftly used Fog Flash to flee.
Boom boom boom!
Cannonballs flew accompanied by smoke.
Pits exploded into the ground behind Rogel.
The Dead Abandoned Heavy Cavalry waved again.
A trained group of Blades of the Dead Abandoned swiftly sheathed their long knives and descended hastily along Rogel’s ropes.
Even as so Blades of the Dead Abandoned accidentally landed heavily, their montum remained undeterred, embodying a fearless spirit.
"This is a full-fledged army." he marveled.
"No wonder the previous Dead Abandoned were left below..."
Rogel was astounded, running even faster.
Reaching a temporarily safe spot in the forest, Rogel quickly found a hidden corner to take cover.
Soon, small groups of Dead Abandoned arrived, carrying torches as they searched.
