The Bone Dragon landed, scattering a pair of grazing deer.
Several people jumped off from Bone Dragon’s back, Fang Hao quickly scanned the mountain wall.
” It should be nearby, look for a cave or something.”
This was the location indicated on the map.
However, no caves were seen.
The two women nodded, spread out to the left and right, and began to search along the mountain wall.
Soon, from tens of meters away, came Anjia’s shout, “Fang Hao, see if this is it.”
Hearing the shout, Fang Hao and Lorrey walked over.
Below the cliff in front of Anjia, there was a pitch-black mountain cave sloping downwards.
The entrance of the cave was large, about five meters in height, and the width was also three or four meters.
The entrance was covered by climbing vines; if not intentionally searched, passing by, it would be difficult to find this cave.
“This should be it.” Fang Hao looked inward along the vines; inside it was pitch black, the visible range was very limited.
“Clear the vines.”
Fang Hao stepped back a few steps, the Giant Skeleton behind him stepped forward.
Several axes swung down, the entangling vines at the entrance were cut off and scattered on the ground.
The position of the cave entrance was completely exposed.
“I’ll use the Grey Sparrow to check inside first.”
Fang Hao took a Skeleton Sparrow from his backpack and jumped back onto the Bone Dragon’s back.
Before using God’s Presence, he couldn’t help but warned, “You two don’t be mischievous, especially you, Anjia.”
“Got it.” Anjia pouted her lips, showing her dissatisfaction with Fang Hao’s remark about her.
Fang Hao leaned back on the dragon’s seat and immediately used God’s Presence.
The soul fire glowed ghostly blue in the skeleton sparrow’s eyes.
It flapped its wings and flew into the cave.
As the sparrow moved deeper, the cave grew darker.
The supporting beam skeletons within the cave had rotten and broken; old mining tools had been left behind, the wooden handles had disappeared, leaving only the severely corroded metal parts.
It continued to move deeper in.
After advancing about ten meters or so.
Dry bones began to be scattered on the ground, and when the sparrow got close. Clatter Clatter!
The dry bones stood up, transforming into a Skeleton Warrior.
The Grey Sparrow evaded the Skeleton Warrior’s attack, and continued to fly deeper into the cave.
As it moved further in, there were more and more Skeleton Warriors, the cave was filled with them in front.
Fang Hao had no choice but to control the Grey Sparrow to turn back and fly out of the cave.
Discharged God’s Presence.
Anjia asked, “How did it go?”
“Prepare for battle, a large group of Skeletons are about to come out.” Fang
Hao stood up and hurriedly stated.
As soon as his words fell.
From within the cave, the dense sound of footsteps and the sound of metal hitting the cave walls echoed.
“Prepare for Dragon Breath!” Fang Hao jumped down from the dragon’s back, but he felt no urgency in his heart.
He was too familiar with Skeletons.
He had seen everything, even on a larger scale, so he did not feel any fear facing these wild little Skeletons.
The Bone Dragon lay on its belly, pointing its head at the dark cave.
The footsteps grew closer, and then they saw a large number of Undead dragging their feet, holding corroded weapons, and stepping towards them. “Dragon Breath!” Fang Hao lightly slapped the huge body of the Bone Dragon. Roar!
The Bone Dragon’s abdomen rose high, and the next second, a black beam sprayed from its mouth into the cave.
The vast energy filled the cave.
Under the black light, the bodies of the Skeletons shattered like sand and scattered all over the ground.
Not the slightest resistance.
This was the first time Fang Hao had seen the Bone Dragon use “Death Breath” against the Undead.
When used against living creatures, it would peel off the flesh and turn them into a pile of bones.
It seemed now, when used against the Skeletons, it was equally effective.
No bone residue was left behind.
After the breath.
The inside of the cave resumed tranquility instantly.
After waiting for two or three breaths, scattered footsteps could be faintly heard from within the cave.
There must be a few that managed to escape.
“Giant Skeleton, surround the entrance, freely attack whatever comes out.” Fang Hao quickly deployed.
The Giant Skeleton began to move in accordance with the command.
In front of the cave, they left a space of about two meters. Then, in a concave formation, they surrounded the cave entrance.
Just as they finished their preparations, the skeleton from inside the cave stumbled out, holding high its broken mining tools.
It had just emerged from the cave entrance.
From both left and right, two large Wolf Fang Clubs fell.
Thud, thud!!
With the heavy thud, the first one that came out turned into bone dust on the ground due to shattered skeleton.
Soon, a second skeleton emerged.
Thud, thud!!
Two thuds again, the second one also met a swift death.
Third, fourth… After the sixth, the cave suddenly went quiet.
Fang Hao peered inside the cave.
There was ash everywhere .along with fallen weapons.
“A few of you follow me, the rest stay here on standby.” Fang Hao pointed out about thirty-odd Skeleton Trolls and took out some Nightstone lanterns from his storage space.
He hung them on the ribs of the four Skeleton Trolls.
“What about us?” Anjia asked.
“You and Lorrey guard me outside,” Fang Hao replied, “If something difficult turns up, I’ll give you further orders.”
From what he could see, the mines were filled with low-level skeletons that the Skeleton Trolls could handle.
Plus, the mine didn’t look very stable. If it collapsed, they’d be in danger.
“Alright then.”
This place was a ruin; there was nowhere for Fang Hao to comfortably lie down. He ended up sitting back on the dragon’s saddle and cast God’s Presence spell. Controlling a skeleton sparrow, he ordered it to land on a Troll’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go into the cave.”
The Skeleton Trolls entered the cave in an orderly formation.
As they continued deeper, the cave grew darker.
The Skeleton Trolls carrying the lanterns illuminated the surroundings with the halo of the Nightstones in their ribcages.
“Collect all the Shadowstones on the ground,” Fang Hao ordered.
Ahead, Shadowstones began to appear.
Wherever there were undead, Shadowstones were usually found.
As they passed the Shadowstones, the Skeleton Trolls bent down to pick them up.
Spotting a Troll bent over, Fang Hao noticed something off.
“Wait, clear that area on the ground,” Fang Hao commanded again.
The Skeleton Trolls swiftly cleaned the spot Fang Hao pointed out, clearing away the broken rocks.
Below was a thin, long, metallic track.
Railway tracks?
Fang Hao flapped his wings and landed on the track.
Looking back along the track, he spotted the exposed rails along the path.
It seemed this was indeed a mine and they had even set up a track for a minecart.
The Coldwind Mountains had countless mines, but even with manual labor they hadn’t constructed railways or minecarts.
This mine seemed to have more advanced facilities.
“Alright, let’s continue.” Fang Hao returned to the troll’s shoulders.
The group resumed its march.
As they progressed deeper, two diverging paths appeared in front of them.
Each path had inscriptions carved on top, but they were now illegible.
Fang Hao pondered for a moment.
He decided to stick to the rule of men taking left and women right.
“Take the left.”
The Skeleton Trolls went down the left path.
After walking for several meters.
Their vision suddenly widened.
Perched on a Troll’s shoulder, Fang Hao entered deeper into the mine.
This was a very spacious cave, about the size of three or four basketball courts.
The railroad tracks on the ground were exposed.
He saw severely damaged mine carts filled with ores.
Whoosh!!
Just as Fang Hao was about to order his men to collect the ores, they heard a strange noise from the front.
Countless skeleton warriors stood up, holding rusty iron swords with tattered armor.
Their gear was far superior compared to the skeletons they had defeated at the
cave entrance.
