Chapter 109 The Streets Are Really Quiet

After traveling for a whole afternoon, until the sun completely sank into the horizon and disappeared, and the stars were shining brightly in the sky, Hayato and his party finally arrived near the bandit village of Clay Air.

On a small hill, Isis said to Hayato beside him: "Hayato, ahead is the ruins of Kleilna."

In the distance, Hayato on the hill can see a piece of scorched earth. Although in Hayato's memory, Klay Erna did disappear in a sea of ​​fire, but that was already fifteen years ago. It's really unusual for Claire, who is in the desert, that even after fifteen years, the wind and sand have not erased the original traces.

Behind Hayato, Mariku, who had had enough of running all the way, got off the camel and rubbed his butt without caring about his appearance. Even though there was a layer of fat on the back of the camel to cushion it, after sitting on the camel for almost ten hours, it was really This made Maliku extremely uncomfortable, and he complained: "I said, since we are already close at hand, it doesn't matter if we rest for a night before going there."

"This Mariku is really inferior."

Looking at Kaiba, who had ridden a chariot and a dragon but never a camel, he looked calm and adaptable to riding a horse. Then he looked at Mariku, who was clearly born in the desert but looked like he couldn't stand it. Hayato expressed his disdain. He also said, "Although it is indeed very close, and it seems that it can be reached in more than ten minutes, a night's rest does not seem to be too much."

"But, I refuse. Because what I, Hayato Kobayashi, like to do most is to say 'no' to self-righteous people."

"Now that we've reached such a close place, Maliku, you have to overcome it a little more. It will be easy when you get to Claire."

Hayato adapted a statement from parents who deceived their children into becoming more relaxed when they went to college, and successfully appeased Maliku so that he did not continue to complain. After muttering something like, "It's easy to encounter ghosts when traveling at night," the group climbed over the hills and continued towards Claire's Na.

But as they walked, Kalim, who was at the front of the team, noticed something was not right. Being observant, he accidentally glanced at the ground and noticed that there were many footprints left on the sand in front of them.

In the desert, footprints will be buried by the wind and destroyed by quicksand, and they will definitely not last long. The large clear footprints in front of you are unlikely to have been left a long time ago, which means that not long before their arrival, Someone has already been here at Claire's, and judging from the number of footprints and the number of people, there are quite a few!

"Mr. Hayato..."

"Yes, I noticed it too." Hayato nodded and frowned, "There are so many footprints, I have a bad feeling. Everyone, stay vigilant when moving forward."

Continuing forward and entering the village, there are chaotic footprints all over the scorched earth. It seems that those who came before have conducted a large-scale scattered search and looked for something. However, there are obviously so many footprints, but at this moment, the village is full of There was an eerie silence, as if so many footprints were just phantoms and no one had ever been to this village.

The wind passed through the gaps between the wreckage, making a sharp "whooshing" sound, the panting of camels, the sound of human breathing, and the sound of camels' hooves stepping on the sand. This is what everyone can hear in this quiet place. all.

However, after walking into the village for a while, suddenly, there was a "click" sound from somewhere, as if someone stepped on something.

"The street is really quiet, and we didn't see anyone who came here before us. Maybe we found that there was nothing so we left, right?" Maliku disagreed and said easily, but Hayato suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the still-unknown person. His collar as he continued to move forward, "Watch out!"

When the camel that Malikus was riding stepped on a slightly dented stone brick, the rotten stone brick suddenly shattered, and the camel suddenly fell because there was no point of support to support it. At the same time, several arms composed of human bones suddenly protruded from the ground buried in the sand. Although there was no muscle tissue to exert force, the bony hands easily penetrated the body of the fallen camel, killing it in an instant!

Maliku had a look of shock on his face. If Hayato hadn't caught him in time, he might have been killed by a sneak attack and lost his life just like the camel he was riding!

"Click!" "Click!" "Click!"

Maliku's camel who was walking in front was not just killed. Almost at the same time, the ground around the other people also broke open, and one after another horrifying skeletons climbed out of it. He waved his sharp bone claws and attacked everyone.

However, Hayato was not the only one who reacted. In addition to Malikul, Karim, Isis and Kaiba all raised their gladiator plates and called out their respective monsters.

"【Brontosaurus】!"

"[Argento]!"

"Blue-Ace-Tilted-Doragon!"

While Karim and Isis honestly summoned creatures and Kaiba's passionate summons were known, only two monsters appeared in front of the three people who raised the gladiatorial disk to summon.

Isis and Karim looked at Kaiba strangely, thinking why are you shouting so loudly? You didn't summon anything. And Kaiba also put down the gladiatorial disk unhappily: "Hey, it won't work even if I use this gladiator disk. Isn't the bond between you and me still not enough to make you respond to me, [Blue Eyes]?"

Although the high-spirited Kaiba summoned nothing in the end and made a mistake, the two monsters summoned by Karim and Isis were completely enough to deal with the skeleton monsters in front of them.

Although it is a bit scary when you suddenly see a bare skeleton, if you put a piece of cloth on these skeletons, wouldn't they be the famous "trash monsters" [white bones]?

As priests, the performance of Karim and Isis was not even a little worse than that of the disgraced Malikul. They did not hold back at all against the [Bone] who had just launched an attack with the intention of killing them. The two commanded With their respective monsters, they easily destroyed the batch of [White Bones] closest to a few people.

"Humph, even Priest Isis is working hard, so I, Karim, must work harder. After all, I can't let all my years of hard work go to waste." He glanced at Isis beside him. , Karim said enthusiastically, "Then continue to come out, the rest of the [Brothers]!"

Without any hesitation, Karim summoned all three [Thunder Dragons] in one go and killed them all out.

Isis is not as eager to win as Kalim, but uses the power of [Millennium Jewelry] as much as possible to start foreseeing the future. [Millennium Jewelry] has the ability to foresee the future in two modes. One is to proactively glimpse fragments of the future, and the other is passively [Millennium Jewelry] will automatically warn of crises.

Compared with the latter, the use of the former will put a considerable burden on Isis, and Isis cannot actively foresee the future anytime and anywhere, so most of the time Isis uses the latter. Mode, the former will be used only in a few necessary situations, while the passive mode is enough to warn of most crises.

After Bakula died, Isis took the initiative to use the [Millennium Jewelry] once. At that time, she clearly saw that the future had returned to light and she could clearly foresee it, and she also confirmed it in advance on the way to the Thief Village. , [Millennium Jewelry] can still be used normally.

However, when the [Bone] group just emerged from the ground and attacked everyone, [Millennium Jewelry] did not give any warning. This is very abnormal. After all, as soon as the group of [Bone] broke out of the ground and saw the group of [Bone] in front of them, they had the unique characteristics of the undead. The stench of decay cannot be concealed at all, and [Millennium Jewelry], which is very sensitive to dark forces, cannot fail to issue a warning in advance.

But when she used the power of [Millennium Jewelry] for the first time after entering the Thief Village, Isis was stunned because she found that the phenomenon of the future being obscured by darkness that had occurred since Bakula appeared had actually appeared again, and This dark power is even worse than the darkness brought by Bakura.

Isis, who used the power of [Millennium Jewelry], tried his best, but could only barely intercept a picture of the future, which was a picture of his and others' camels being killed by [White Bones].

Isis suddenly remembered that although it was normal for the [White Bones] to be defeated by the stone monsters of himself and Priest Karim, the resistance they encountered was too weak, and these monsters should be classified It's an undead type of undead monster. How could it be defeated so easily?

An idea suddenly popped up in Isis's mind, and she quickly reminded Kalim, who had let [Thunder Dragon] go too far: "No, Priest Kalim, this is a trap! Quickly let your slate monster return!"

Isis's reminder was as timely as possible, but it was still a step too late. He almost took Isis's words as an order to activate. The remains of the [White Bones] on the ground that were easily defeated by the attacks of the [Thunder Dragons] actually moved on their own. They regrouped, and before [Thunder Dragon] had time to return to defense, they attacked Kalim!

Immediately, Isis summoned two more slate monsters - [Keldor] and [Kelback] to protect everyone, but the expected attack on the people on the camel did not come at all. The people left the camels unscathed, but all the camels they rode were killed without exception.

No matter how slow their reaction was, everyone felt something was wrong. Even Maliku said strangely: "It feels like the target of these monsters is not us, but our camels? Were they kicked to death by the camels? Do you actually have such a hatred for camels?”

"No, I'm afraid the controllers behind these [White Bones] want to kill our car as soon as possible so that we can't leave this site." Kalim expressed his conjecture and controlled the [Thunder Dragon] ] Killed him again and came back to protect him.

But this time, because they had been exposed, they no longer pretended. The [White Bones] actually showed a completely different combat power than before. It was not like at the beginning that they could easily be attacked regardless of the intensity. Killing, even Karim's [Thunder Dragon] was actually injured in the process of killing it back.

After the [Thunder Dragons] returned to Karim, the [White Bones] that fell down due to the attacks of the [Thunder Dragons] showed powerful resurrection abilities, and their skeletons were dismantled in an instant. It was spliced ​​back together on its own, and even the broken bones healed themselves quickly.

"What's the purpose of leaving us here?" Kaiba frowned and looked at the group of [Bone Bones] surrounding several people. After fighting for a long time, the number of [White Bones] has not decreased at all. On the contrary, as time goes by, more and more [White Bones] have gathered from all over the village. "It will never end if this continues. My [blue eyes] are here”

"Stop thinking about your [Blue Eyes] all day, we have to find the source of these [White Bones]." Hayato said, the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] on his chest lit up slightly, and the golden cone on the disk They all pointed to a location, "The [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] can lead the way, so the job of clearing the way for us will be left to you, Karim!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Hayato!" Kalim knew that Hayato wanted to save his power until the end to deal with the source of the [White Bones]. [Ra's Winged Dragon] has proven its power many times, and Kalim is also very fond of it. He is convinced and has no complaints about being responsible for paving the way, "Then, I'm going to start. The power of [Millennium Scale] will be demonstrated here!"

"Come out, my strongest slate monster, [Two-Headed Thunder Dragon]! Then, use the maximum range of diffusion lightning cannon!"

Although the appearance is strange, but the power is real, the [Double-Headed Thunder Dragon] appeared in front of a group of people. Facing the direction pointed by Hayato's [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], the [Double-Headed Thunder Dragon] spit out a lightning pillar and set it on the path. All the [White Bones] blocking the road were cleared and cleared.

However, even the attack of the [Double-Headed Thunder Dragon] still could not completely destroy the [White Bones]. The defeated [White Bones] quickly recovered and reunited as soon as they fell to the ground. But Kalim asked the [Double-Headed Thunder Dragon] to spread the attack range as much as possible without intending to kill them. It was enough to clear a path forward.

Maliku, who was too scared to fight but was the first to escape, ran at the front as a "horse", followed by Hayabusa and Isis, while Kaiba and Karim followed at the end. The five people rushed forward, and after the [Double-Headed Thunder Dragon] cleared the way twice more, the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] brought everyone to a intact house that was extremely rare in the ruined thieves' village.

Maliku, who had been kicking the widow's door all the time, kicked open the locked door with unusual skill and rushed in. Several other people also rushed in one after another. After Kalim, who was at the back of the team, also entered, Malik Ku slammed the door shut without hesitation, and even clamped down one of Karim's [Bone] arms, causing him to twist on the ground.

Although the house is not a solid barrier, in the final analysis, the [White Bones] are just miscellaneous fish with no power other than being difficult to deal with and being numerous. Everyone who entered the house was safe for the time being, and they also noticed at this time, In this room, a wall was broken open, revealing a set of steps leading underground.
