Chapter 42: Death Valley

  Three days later, Rovin, holding a simple map, appeared at the entrance of the valley marked on the map where two bronze knights and one hundred and fifty servants were buried.

  Behind Rovin, Tarrant followed closely, fully recovered.

  Thailand's head wore a horned iron helmet that had obviously been repaired, wearing brand new linen armor and metal plates hanging outside the linen armor. At first glance, it was indeed a sturdy warrior, but the hunched waist, stumbling steps, and the eerie green glow in his eyes deeply betrayed his undead nature.

  Tairant had a huge backpack on his back, and the backpack was filled with 4,500 gold worth of spellcasting materials. Hmm... considering the discount, the actual price of this large backpack of spellcasting materials should be around 6,000 gold.

  Unlike when he came out of the Nasere mine village, Rovi's waist already had an additional spell material storage belt, and the clothes he wore changed from that small pointed collar tailcoat to a tight-fitting garment with pockets all over his body.

  All the sleeves were lined with various soft materials and tightly wrapped around the glass tubes inserted into the fabric buttons.

  A spellcaster who always carries sufficient spellcasting materials is a good spellcaster.

  According to the intelligence obtained from the trembling residents of Asrat, there may be mountain savages, earth elementals or bear elementals lurking in every valley of Ferroja Mountains at any time. So Rovin, standing at the entrance of the valley, sniffed hard twice at the wind blowing out of the valley and then let Corpse Tarrant take off the large backpack on his back and hold it in his hand.

  When Tarlant executed the Rovi command, he exposed his massive hands wearing iron fist gauntlets. These simple iron fist gauntlets, entrusted to Asrat's only blacksmith, were no different from two sharp spike-closed nail hammers when clenched in both hands, a deadly weapon specially prepared by Rovi for possible encounters with the earth spirits or mountain barbarians.

  Of course, the biggest killer is Luo Wei himself. He has been desperately absorbing energy in the Black Ice Skull for three days, and his brain hurts so much that it's about to crack.

  Rumor has it that Luo Wei is going into the mountains to find the remnants of the defeated Blood Blade bandits, and Sakuradin, who can already get out of bed and walk around, volunteered to bring his own dry rations to follow Luo Wei as a mage attendant. But in reality, Luo Wei's goal was to search for the ancient battlefield ruins, so how could he possibly bring along grateful Sakuradin?

  Even with a headache, Luo Wei refused Sakuradin without hesitation. The reason was that Sakuradin had not yet recovered from his injury and was not suitable for intense exercise.

  Korren was still a shrewd slave trader, and he had long since realized that Rove chose to enter the mountain alone, definitely with some "unspeakable" purpose.

  So, when Rove took the nearly depleted Aslat's food supply and left with the ghoul Tarrant, the slave trader didn't even make any attempt to retain him, but only said: "Respected Mr. Rove, the wizard, I wish you all the best and may your wishes come true! I'll stay here in Aslat for another three to five days..."

  Everything goes smoothly as wished?

  Sigh... if only it were really like this.

  But anyway, as long as I find and clean up that ancient battlefield relic, then wait until I become an undead overlord before coming out to roam around, at least my personal safety... hmm, my corpse's safety will be somewhat guaranteed, right?

  These days, after finishing the recharge of Hei Bing's skull and meditation to recover his magic power, Luo Wei devoted all his remaining time to carefully studying the diary of Fei Xue's Blade's leader, Sire Lud.

  Although the diary shows that Sreylod actually only entered and exited the ancient battlefield ruins three times, and each time he entered the ancient battlefield ruins, his diary was written unclearly and vaguely. However, Rovi combined the front and back to draw a conclusion - the magical puzzle lock range of the ancient battlefield ruins is very large, and the area explored by Sreylod who entered the ancient battlefield ruins is only the edge of the edge of the ancient battlefield ruins.

  Compared to the mountain valley battlefield ruins that Luo Wei is about to explore, that ancient battlefield shrouded in the mysterious aura of the undead was truly a real battlefield.

  Sreloth led more than five hundred people into the ancient battlefield ruins for the first time, but before they could do anything, they were surrounded by thousands of skeletal warriors, undead archers, corpse demons, rotting wolves, and ghostly armored gunners. They lost a third of their manpower in the first battle.

  It was easy to get through the first day, but on the second day, Strider faced more numerous undead knights.

  This round, Sreylod didn't even last half an hour and fled in disarray out of the ancient battlefield ruins. What was left of his men made up more than half of those who had followed him.

  However, between the lines of what Sreloth said, one of his purposes for staying in the ancient battlefield ruins for two days was also to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

  The entire Crimson Blade thieves' guild, only a small part of which Slerot could control, the rest belonged to Baron Ferrodo, whom he secretly served.

  In that battle, Sir Luthor, the fallen knight, successfully slew his deputy commander - another Silver Knight loyal to Baron Farod.

  As for the two subsequent entries into the ancient battlefield ruins, they were completely small-scale. Sreloth each time only brought a small number of people in, and as long as he was targeted by more than three undead knights, he would escape without hesitation.

  Although he said that every time he entered, he would gain something more or less, but like the good things inside Sane Riel's golden ring, Slrod never got them again.

  From the diary, it can be seen that Srebrod is very patient. He seems to plan to slowly explore the ancient battlefield ruins in a safe and steady way, with the highest safety factor, in order to gain the greatest benefits.

  To be honest, if you set aside personal feelings, Luo Wei actually quite approves of Srebrod's way of doing things.

  So Rovin couldn't understand why Sreloth, who had the same idea as him, would suddenly give up exploring the ancient battlefield and come to Asrat to rob.

  Even if the success rate of robbing Aslat is high, doing this in a low-key exploration of ancient battlefield ruins can only be seen as somewhat unprofessional.

  What a pity, Sreloth is already dead, otherwise Luo Wei would definitely spit at him and cover his face with saliva. It's really... too unprofessional, you think you're a strong robber who blocks the road and robs people, idiot!

  With this in mind, Luo Wei drove the fully armed Ghoul Tyrant, with the posture of being able to chant out the Ice Gun Blast spell to attack all enemies at any time, into a somewhat eerie and desolate mountain valley.

  In choosing whether to come to this valley first or go to the lair of the Defias Brotherhood, Rollo had actually made a difficult decision, but in the end he still chose to come to this valley first, because with only the seemingly strong but actually very weak undead Talandra by his side, Rollo didn't think he could single-handedly take down the lair of the Defias Brotherhood.

  Rovin needs to let the corpse of Theland hurry back, and more importantly, dig out the two bronze knight corpses and awaken them as undead knights to expand his forces.

  After all, according to Quincy's statement, in the lair of the Blood Blade thieves, there is still a bronze-level strong thief leader, as well as nearly a hundred remaining thugs.

  As he entered the valley about a hundred paces, Rove saw the first pile of corpses.

  It's clear that the remains of these fallen soldiers were originally supposed to be buried in a large mass grave, but the smell of blood and flesh emanating from their hastily buried bodies attracted those scavengers with keen senses of smell.

  So the mass grave was dug up, and the white bones were scattered all over the ground in a disorderly manner. After the scavengers left, the wind and rain caused the bones to be half-buried again, and the wild grasses and trees absorbed the last nutrients from the bones and grew out of them.

  But even so, Luo Wei still easily discovered more than 10 white skulls.

  Hopefully, I can barely manage to cobble together 10 skeletons.

  "Put down your backpack and dig out all the bones in this pit."

  Rovin ordered the corpse of Talant and personally took over the vigilance task.
