Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 114 Dragon Meal
In order to make Wu Ma's smuggling plan a complete success and smoothly arrive at the Lost Continent for development, I can say that I have put in a lot of thought, made careful plans and arrangements, and used all the means I can. In addition to taking a few days to conduct careful drills beforehand and arranging for Wu Ma and his newly recovered bone dragons to coexist peacefully, what is more important is that I must always concentrate and try to maintain the protective shield of "Touch of Death" at the maximum effect. If it were not for the fact that I have been manipulating "Touch of Death" for almost two years and have already mastered it quite well, I am afraid that I may not be able to persist for such a long time. For Shaman, who assisted from the side, this operation is also a rather severe test, and it is not so easy to complete - the position of the blood mist sprayed is fixed, and it will not follow Wu Ma's movement. Being in a place like Dragon Bone Mountain where strong people are rampant and full of crises, I dare not spray too large an area of blood mist at once, so as not to be too obstructive, but more likely to attract the attention of the bone dragon. Moreover, the blood mist that has been spewed out must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise the horse will continue to travel, leaving a belt of blood mist behind, which will also be discovered by the nearby bone dragons.
Therefore, each time, he could only spit out a small cloud of blood mist close to the protective shield, which could barely protect Wu Ma. With the protective shield in place, this thin layer of blood mist could not last long. When its effect was almost offset by the "Touch of Death", it would soon dissipate, and Wu Ma would continue to take a step forward. As Wu Ma moved, Saman needed to spit continuously to ensure that Wu Ma was always covered by the blood mist. The actions of the two must be synchronized, and there must be no deviation. I could not remind them all the time, and most of the time I could only rely on their own performance. The mental energy consumed was not much, but I had to be very focused, especially after entering the area where the bone dragons were more active, I dared not be distracted at all, and I had to cooperate tacitly.
Another key factor is time. Even if everything goes well and nothing unexpected happens during the journey, it will take at least 10 to 20 hours to cover Wu Ma's successful smuggling across Dragon Bone Mountain. During this period, I must not stop activating the "Touch of Death". Once the protection of this barrier is lost, Wu Ma will definitely not be able to avoid the induction of the bone dragons and will inevitably be discovered and besieged to death. However, under normal circumstances, I can only stay in the "Dead Soul Space" for six consecutive hours, and then I need to resurrect and return to the human world. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the smuggling operation, I must have the right to stay in the "Dead Soul Space" and not be resurrected. Ordinary necromancers may not be able to do it, but for me, the easiest way is to start a "Dead Soul War" - find Xinbitiangao and Moonlight Treasure Box to cooperate with me and help me act out a play. I mobilized my corpse wizards to feint and attack the zombie tribe that they completely controlled. After inducing the "Dead Soul War", it turned into a "fake fight". I need to carry out the smuggling plan and have no time to be distracted. They are mainly responsible for controlling the scale of the war to avoid unnecessary casualties. With the "Witch Crown" and "Death Control", I can remotely control the actions of the corpse witches from a longer distance. In this way, before the "Undead War" is over, I can stay in the "Dead Space" and help Wu Ma sneak across Dragon Bone Mountain.
Most of the dragons occupying the outer peaks are green-bone dragons and bone-melting dragons, and occasionally there are a few white-bone dragons, all of which I have detected clearly and avoided from a distance. I moved forward carefully, and for the time being, the wind and sea were calm, and the nearby undead did not notice anything unusual.
However, as we got closer to the core area, the peaks became more and more dense. No matter how we designed the smuggling route, we could not avoid it. We could only choose to travel between the two peaks. Almost all the people living on the peaks were white-bone dragons and black-bone dragons. Their sensing ability was better than that of energy-bone dragons and bone-changing dragons. We were already in their sensing area and there was no way to keep a safe distance. The "Touch of Death" and the blood mist could not completely cover up the breath of Wu Ma. Especially when we were moving, the breath would be stronger, so the danger we encountered was gradually increasing. The white-bone dragons were better. They usually just took off into the air, circled around the peaks a few times, and inspected their territory. After noticing it in time, they hurriedly arranged for Wu Ma to stop moving and find a place to hide. The white-bone dragons did not find anything unusual, and would return to rest after a while. Then we continued to move forward. As long as we were careful and responded in time, we could fool them.
The higher-level black bone dragons are not so easy to deal with, as they are more sensitive to Wu Ma. Once they detect something unusual, the scope of their patrol is not limited to the occupied mountain, but also includes the area around the mountain. If they are carefully explored, Wu Ma will definitely be exposed. At this time, it is necessary to send out the bone dragons to provoke the black bone dragon in time, divert its attention, and lure it to a farther distance. When the two sides fight, it is convenient for Wu Ma to take the opportunity to escape. In the case that the black bone dragon does not specifically sense the existence of Wu Ma, the "undead public enemy", this strategy of luring the enemy is still effective - as a black bone dragon of the ninth level, it is almost impossible to be provoked by a low-level bone dragon. Naturally, it will be furious and will pounce on the arrogant person who is blind. It's a pity that the men I sent out to carry out the strategy of luring the enemy are too different in strength, and almost all of them can't escape death in the end. Every time I face a black bone dragon, I need to sacrifice a green bone dragon or even a bone dragon, which really makes me feel sad! But I can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. For Wu Ma's plan of stealing the flow, this price is worth it. Anyway, there are many in Dragon Bone Mountain, and the ability is already available. As long as I spend time, I can bring them under my wing.
After sacrificing more than twenty bone dragons, Wu Ma was about to be protected and smoothly passed through the central area where black bone dragons were relatively dense. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly discovered that the black bone dragon that had just been led away, after killing the bone dragon that had provoked it, did not give up the search like the twenty of its kind before it, but returned to its territory with peace of mind. After circling for a while, it actually chased after it again, constantly exploring at low altitude along the way. Although it did not chase in a straight line and often went in other directions, it was always able to return to the right path after wandering for a while, and there was no deviation in the general direction, as if it was always chasing Wu Ma.
Could it have been sensed? That was unlikely. In terms of height and body shape, it looked no different from the previous black bone dragons. They were all normal individuals, and didn't seem to have any special abilities. Other black bone dragons couldn't do it, so how could it have discovered something? And if it was really sure of the existence of Wu Ma, the Knight of Destruction, it wouldn't have explored alone like this, it would have sounded the alarm immediately and called on all the bone dragons to help.
I carefully observed the Black Bone Dragon's behavior for a while. It didn't seem to be certain of anything, but just had some doubts. It was so sensitive, not necessarily because it had a stronger sense than other Black Bone Dragons. Perhaps it had been in contact with the Destruction Knight before, so it was so interested in the slight aura emanating from the Horseless. I sent out another Bone Dragon to lure it away. After killing the troublemaker, the Black Bone Dragon still didn't give up and continued to chase after it, as if it was determined to find out the truth. Fortunately, they value evidence and will not randomly raise the alarm without confirmation. Otherwise, if it bluffed and alarmed other Bone Dragons, we would have nowhere to hide.
We walked step by step on the ground, and had to avoid the mountains and stray bone dragons along the way. Naturally, it was not as convenient and fast as the black bone dragon flying in the sky to chase us. Although the bone dragons under my command kept attacking and delayed the black bone dragon for a while, we were still unable to get rid of it. It even chased us from the central area to the periphery of Dragon Bone Mountain, and still had no intention of thanking it.
Gritting my teeth, I fought hard and sent five bone dragons to attack at once. Although it was in the outer area, there were not many bone dragons, so I didn't worry about third-party interference. However, this was the limit of the bone dragons' cross-level challenge and the siege. Even the bone dragons that I had subdued could not break the rules and rush forward. And only after these five bone dragons were all killed in the battle, the other bone dragons could continue to attack. If it were five white bone dragons, they would have the strength to fight the black bone dragon. Even if they couldn't kill it, they should be able to force it back and force it to give up tracking Wu Ma. Unfortunately, they were just five wandering bone dragons. Facing the black bone dragon that was two levels higher and occupied the mountain as the king, although the "Soul Contract" and "Control of Death" offset some of the influence of the high-level dragon's power, I'm afraid they would still not be the opponent. I can only pray to buy as much time as possible to cover Wu Ma's escape from Dragon Bone Mountain and reach the territory of the bone giant safely.
After a fierce chase and fight, five bone dragons died one after another. However, after killing more than a dozen bone dragons in a row, especially after this five-on-one battle, under my command, the bone dragons performed better, causing a lot of trouble for the black bone dragon, and leaving it with a lot of scars. Although it was not too serious, it did affect its condition to some extent. Moreover, it had already chased to the border of Dragon Bone Mountain. Under normal circumstances, it should have returned home and would not cross the border. However, this black bone dragon may really have "feelings" for the Destruction Knight, and it was too persistent. After circling a few times, it chased out and still refused to let Wu Ma go.
Five more bone dragons were sent to intercept, and they covered Wu Ma's entry into the bone giant's territory. He hid in a bone giant's cave in the center of the territory and stopped moving. With the protection of "Touch of Death" and blood mist, he reduced the overflowing breath to a minimum. At the same time, he mobilized more than a hundred bone giants in the territory and gathered them together. Under the leadership of the bone giant leader, they were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
After arranging these things, the five bone dragons were killed by the black bone dragon again. In order to cover Wu Ma's sneak crossing, most of the bone dragons that were subdued before were lost. This time it was a big loss. Unfortunately, the matter was still not settled. The black bone dragon still did not intend to return to Dragon Bone Mountain. It wandered around and tried its best to sense Wu Ma's breath. Fortunately, there was no real reason to support it. Unless it planned to provoke a war with the bone giants, it would not dare to easily invade the bone giants' territory. Therefore, it could only search outside the territory, and it was even more impossible to sense anything.
The area of this bone giant territory is not too small. Even if I release the protection of "Touch of Death", as long as Wu Ma pays attention to convergence and does not move or make relatively large movements, even the black bone dragon, which is so far away outside the territory, may not be able to sense its breath. However, this black bone dragon is different. It seems to be more sensitive to the breath of the Knight of Destruction. It has been stubborn and refuses to give up. If I leave like this, if it senses something and breaks into the bone giant's territory to check, it will definitely not be able to escape its sensing if the distance is too close. Once the existence of Wu Ma is confirmed, even if it cannot kill Wu Ma under the protection of more than a hundred bone giants, it can go back to recruit reinforcements to besiege, and things will also be very troublesome.
The black bone dragon is really too patient, still lingering around here, showing no signs of giving up. I want to revive, I want to log off and rest, it is impossible and I don't have the energy to accompany it here all the time. It seems that if I don't solve its problem, I can't guarantee Wu Ma's safety, and I can't leave with peace of mind.
Since we can't hide or lure it away, we have no choice but to fight. In order to sneak across without horses, many bone dragons have died, and there are not many left. Moreover, we can only rush forward in batches of five at a time, and the effect is limited. Even if all of them die, we may not be able to kill the black bone dragon. If we want to solve it once and for all, we must arrange for bone giants to participate in the battle. They don't have to follow any rules and can rush forward and start beating.
Of course, if the Bone Giant takes the initiative to provoke, there is no chance of a confrontation. We must give the Black Bone Dragon a reason to invade the Bone Giant's territory and fly close to the ground to investigate. I once again told my men to be on high alert, and Saman stopped spitting blood mist. I also put away the "Touch of Death" and let Wu Ma emit his breath in a normal state to see if I could attract the Black Bone Dragon.
When the black bone dragon flew over the bone giant's territory again, it suddenly slowed down, began to lower its altitude and hovered at a low altitude, and refused to go far away. Judging from its reaction, it should have sensed the breath of Wu Ma, but probably because this is the bone giant's territory and it is not sure, it hesitated and did not dare to break in to investigate.
What a fuss. I was about to open the door to welcome the guests, but the main owner, the Black Bone Dragon, hesitated. I was so disappointed. I immediately let Wu Ma jump up again, increasing the amount of breath overflowing, giving the Black Bone Dragon some confidence and courage to break in and verify.
The black bone dragon looked even more anxious, and suddenly roared, rushing into the bone giant's territory. I hurriedly asked Wu Ma to stop the action, and asked Sa Man to spit blood mist to weaken its breath, so as not to be too obvious and let the black bone dragon find it directly. However, I didn't let Wu Ma hide in the blood mist all the time, but kept going in and out, so that its breath would be sometimes there and sometimes not, which would not let the black bone dragon clearly sense Wu Ma's exact location, and also prevent it from losing the sense and retreating, refusing to conflict with the bone giant.
Faced with the blatant invasion of the black bone dragon, and with my secret instigation, more than a hundred bone giants, led by the leader of the bone giants, were furious and joined hands to fight against the powerful enemy. In order to more accurately sense the breath of Wu Ma, the black bone dragon had to fly close to the ground and try to get close to the cave where Wu Ma was hiding to carefully investigate in order to confirm the existence of the Knight of Destruction. In this way, they had to face the attack of the bone giant. One side was determined to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and the other side had to break in to find out what was going on. A fierce battle broke out.
One by one, the bone giants fell down, but they fought one against a hundred, and everyone fought hard, risking their lives, which also caused a lot of damage to the black bone dragon. Whenever the black bone dragon wanted to retreat, I would release more of Wu Ma's aura to give it the motivation to continue. For a better future for Wu Ma, this black bone dragon must be sacrificed.
The Black Bone Dragon was already seriously injured, so I arranged five Bone Dragons to join the siege, and personally used "mental attacks" to join the battle. It couldn't resist, and finally thought of escaping, wanting to break out of the siege. I immediately ordered Wu Ma to fully release his breath, so that the Black Bone Dragon could clearly sense it at such a close distance. The huge "temptation" made it unable to help but rush over again, wanting to get closer to the cave to see what was going on. After a struggle, it was inevitably hit by a few sticks and was caught by the Bone Dragon a few times. However, it really rushed to the front and forcibly destroyed the cave, revealing the figure of Wu Ma, the "public enemy of the undead". Originally, I thought that the Black Bone Dragon, which was seriously injured and could not stand the long battle, should rush back to Dragon Bone Mountain to report the news as soon as possible after discovering the Knight of Destruction. I not only arranged the bone dragons to besiege here, but also arranged some bone dragons to intercept along the way to ensure that it could not get away. However, the reaction of the Black Bone Dragon was somewhat beyond my expectations. Probably because he saw that Wu Ma was too weak, he rushed forward and tried his best to kill it. Fortunately, facing the powerful enemy of the Black Bone Dragon, I did not dare to take it lightly, and habitually cast the "Sacrifice" magic on Wu Ma, so that he was not attacked by the Black Bone Dragon.
I paid such a high price and made such a painstaking plan. The black bone dragon has reached the end of its rope and has no chance to turn the tide. Even if it wanted to break through the siege and rush back to inform, it would not have the chance. It was because it was too sensitive that I took advantage of it and caused the disaster today. Of course, Wu Ma still had to step in and perform a few "bloody battles in all directions" to kill the dying black bone dragon, absorb its soul energy, and eat the first meal after entering the Lost Continent. This is a ninth-level upper-level black bone dragon meal, which should be considered a delicacy for Ibola. It can be said that Wu Ma made a profit despite his mistakes.
