Standing on the flying sword, Sarn looked down at the desert under his feet. The sun had gradually set and the land was beginning to be shrouded in darkness. However, the night in the desert was not completely dark, but surprisingly bright.In the unobstructed sky, the sky is full of stars and the huge silver moon illuminates the sand sea like a silvery white ocean.Looking down from above, this place is like a beautiful paradise, only the yellow sand quietly fluctuating with the wind, like a quiet sea, lonely and obedient, without any filth that belongs to the mortal world.But Sarn knew deeply, just like the dead bones that can be seen everywhere in the sand, this desert has a terrifying power that can swallow all living things.

The Purgatory Desert is called Purgatory precisely because of its boundless territory.Almost traversing the southern border of Oren Continent, the Purgatory Desert is as vast as the Anselazia Mountains, and in this desert, there are no signs for reference, no roads to choose from, and the sea of ​​sand is shrouded All areas within sight.Here, without the guidance of a guide, water, food, and directions can all be turned into fatal dangers. Even if Dafa uses the flying technique uninterruptedly, and guarantees that he will never lose his way, escaping from this sea of ​​sand will not be easy. It takes more than a week.And to be lost here means to die.

Sarn turned his head to look at their only guide now, the handsome and serious blond knight.Under the moonlight, he seemed to have turned into a statue without flesh and blood, staring motionlessly at the sandy sea below.This is the third day after departure, his expression is getting more and more serious day by day, except for a small amount of sleep and food supplements during the rest, he hardly speaks anymore, and just puts all his mind on the imaginary city in his mind, like a man who has entered Like a puppet of a demon.

Sarn saw the same undead puppets in the Temple of the Spider Queen back then. They were awakened from death, holding extremely firm goals, and only obeying the call of those powerful mistresses.There is no ego, no thoughts, no fear and retreat, only the mission of the mother exists, and it becomes a sharp weapon for killing and revenge.He shivered, no, the knight in front of him was not a real puppet, he just... lost himself.

Suddenly, the young man condensed like a sculpture trembled and shouted loudly, "Stop!"

The flying sword stopped, and Hong Ming and Leopold turned their heads to look at the young man at the same time, only to see that he straightened his arms and pointed straight down. "There, they're about to appear."

Everyone looked down following his pointing, and saw that in the endless sandy sea, a dune suddenly began to wriggle slowly, as if some ferocious beast was about to emerge from under the sand.The scope of the vibration became wider and stronger, and finally, a pale palm stretched out from the desert, and then countless... armored skeletons struggled to push away the yellow sand, and drilled from the depths of the ground. It's like the god of death opened the gate of the underworld.The white-boned demon horse riding on Qingyan spewed out black snort, restlessly hit the sand under its feet with its four hooves, and ghost fires ignited below. appeared in the desert.

"This is... an army of bones." The gray-robed mage exclaimed in amazement, "Why didn't they guard Santani, and suddenly appeared from here?"

"They are... setting out." A bone-chilling chill enveloped Avar's body. "Night and night is the characteristic of the Lich King's army. It is less than a hundred miles away from Santani. They must be the expeditionary force that set off from there two days ago. Now is the time for them to set off."

"Do you want to kill these evil spirits?" Hong Ming asked with a frown.

"No!" The three voices replied in unison.

"Don't!" Gray Robe followed closely, "All skeleton warriors are connected to the Lich King's mind, as long as you kill any of them, you will be directly exposed to the Lich King's vision. Not yet Time for an adventure."

Looking at the terrifying and evil army below, Hong Ming pondered for a while, "These monsters can only move at night?"

Avar nodded affirmatively, "No matter how powerful a ghost is, it can't show its strength in the face of the sun. All the Lich King's troops are massacred at night, and it will be safer during the day."

"It's only a hundred miles away from Santani?"

"That's right, my ancestors have taught me to look at the stars and use them to determine the location of my homeland. I will never remember it wrong."

"That's it." Hong Ming pondered for a while, "We will recuperate here tonight. At noon tomorrow, let's go to Santani when the yang energy is at its peak."

This time, everyone had no objection. They chose to settle down on the sand dunes on the other side away from the skeleton army. Hong Ming and Leopold immediately fell into a trance and sleep, accumulating strength for tomorrow's expedition.Sarn looked at the knight who was still wide-eyed, "Lord Hong Ming has already set up a defensive formation, and there is no need to watch the night here. For tomorrow's action, I think it is wiser for you to sleep for a while."

Avar nodded slowly, but he didn't close his eyes, still staring blankly at the place where the skeleton army disappeared in front of him.Sarn shrugged, sat aside and closed his eyes to enter meditation.

There are no more communicative creatures around, leaving only a lonely desert.Avar sat in this familiar yet unfamiliar desert, tightly holding the Holy Sword of Glory in his hand.This was the first time in his life that he was so close to the legendary homeland. It took their entire tribe a month and lost countless lives to walk out of the desert of purgatory. It was like a joke at the feet of the two mages.This was the moment when he was closest to his goal in his life, but he couldn't relax his mind, he couldn't forget the scene when he saw the skeleton army just now, it was actually... not normal.The Lich King has never dispatched such a large-scale army. They only need a few hundred soldiers to wipe out any tribe in the desert.Avar felt an unprecedented urgency scratching his heart. He knew that this action was not a small matter, and the only thing that could stop the Lich King's iron heels were the mages around him.

Maybe this is the best chance... His hands are clenched on the hilt of his sword. For whatever reason, the Lich King's army has left Santani. If this opportunity can be used to sneak attack on their lair and kill the Lich King , then all skeleton armies will be self-defeating.It's just that they still have time?How many of those abandoned tribes scattered in the sand sea could escape this bloody hunt?He closed his eyes in pain, the long sword in his palm was heating up slightly, he could feel this subtle pulsation, as if his sword was also calling him, leading him towards the ultimate goal.

Avar curled up his body, tightly holding the sword in his arms, feeling the rapid beating of the sword and his heartbeat.He only needs to wait another day, and he will set foot on their former homeland.Avar slowly closed his eyes, listening to the sound of the night wind blowing across the sand dunes.
