Chapter 204 Legendary Vine Armor
"Click", "click", "click"...
Before the human figure arrived, a series of sharp sounds that gave people goosebumps came from the black fog.
It sounded like the sound of bones colliding with each other, the upper and lower jaws of a skeleton running. The noise was rapid and frequent, making a loud clattering sound.
"Prepare!"
Ymir looked serious and gave an order.
But the next moment, her ears moved slightly, her pupils shrank slightly, and she warned in a hurry: "Those skeletons are very fast, everyone be careful!"
Skeletons are fast?
Those high-level transcendents with weaker perceptions were a little confused, but before they could think too much, they looked closely and saw two assassins rushing out of the black fog. What was incredible was that the skeleton monsters, as agile as cheetahs, had already chased them four or five meters away and were about to catch the two.
How is that possible?
What kind of skeleton monster is this?
This is quite surprising!
Ymir's guard thief is originally a fifth-level extraordinary person with full agility talent. When he attacks at full speed, he can crush almost any extraordinary person of the same level.
Now he was being chased by those skeleton monsters and he could hardly open up any distance between them. Can you imagine how fast those skeletons are?
At this glance, those mysterious fifth-level skeletons appeared in front of everyone for the first time.
"Sure enough, they are all fifth-level skeletons!"
Seeing the skeleton monster being drawn out of the fog at this moment, everyone took a deep breath.
The black fire in the eye sockets of those skeletons was so strong that I had never seen it before. The black fire in the eye sockets of ordinary skeletons was like the phosphorescent fire floating in the cemetery, which would go out at any time. But these... were like a blazing black fire sun!
They were as tall as Coleman warriors, generally three or four meters tall. Their strides were extremely long, and their pace was so fast that they left behind a trail of shadows. And those bones were different in color from the bones we usually see, with a crystal-clear color like jade bones.
Seeing this scene, Bazel, who was protecting Ryan, showed a hint of surprise and muttered, "This skeleton is quite interesting..."
Ryan was also very surprised and asked in doubt: "These skeletons have no muscles, how can they run so fast?"
This speed was completely different from the skeleton monsters they had encountered before, whose muscles had decayed and whose movements were stiff.
Moreover, not only do they run fast, these tall skeleton monsters are actually wearing neatly-clad, full-body armor that is not at all rotten!
It was a kind of armor that looked like gold but not gold, and it also looked like a full body armor woven from rattan.
The Monkel civilization is tens of thousands of years old. Except for a small number of special equipment such as magical weapons and holy artifacts, everything else has turned to dust over the years.
What’s more, it’s a set of rattan armor?
Moreover, not only did the vine armor not decay, but it was also burning with blazing black fire like a "fighting armor" when worn by these skeletons. Looking closely, you can see a series of mysterious and ancient dark gold magic runes looming on the vines.
…
"This vine armor looks a bit weird..."
The skeleton monsters were running too fast, so Ryan couldn't see them clearly.
In the blink of an eye, the more than forty skeletons had entered the ambush circle.
"Get started!"
A delicate cry.
All the people in the ambush rushed out together, and several legends also took action at the same time, using swords, guns, sticks and clubs.
But the next second, the first group of people who hit the vine armor changed their expressions.
Because they were surprised to find that no matter whether it was a weapon or magic, the power of the black fire vine armor was instantly removed. The attack could not penetrate the vine armor at all, let alone hurt the bones themselves.
As the swords passed by, the sharp sound of metal clanging was heard, and a long series of sparks from the contact of metal and stone were drawn on the rattan armor.
The ambush battle that was originally expected to be one-sided and could be crushed in an instant actually turned out to be a fierce trend!
"Damn it, there's something weird about this vine armor!"
Bazel also let out a strange cry.
Bazel had not taken the skeleton seriously at first, and even its werewolf body had not changed. But when they fought, he found that the skeleton, which should have been crushed into powder, was surprisingly strong and could not be broken.
When they met, he slapped a skeleton in front of him and sent it flying, and it fell heavily dozens of meters away.
However, the skeleton that was expected to be smashed to pieces stood up again intact, and rushed towards him aggressively, pestering him.
Moreover, not only are their defenses strong, their fighting skills are also extremely strong!
Several level five skeleton monsters seemed to think that Basel was a difficult person, so they surrounded him and beat him hard, and they were able to fight on par with Bazel who had not transformed.
Unexpectedly, one could see the same mysterious boxing technique between those punches and kicks.
What's even more bizarre is that this group of skeleton monsters are not just fighting randomly. They are like well-trained professional soldiers who actually know how to coordinate tactics!
They encountered an ambush and quickly formed a formation, working together in groups of three or two to fight the enemy with complete tacit understanding.
Ryan, who was watching the fight, was also stunned. He shouted in his heart: "Skull and Bones knows martial arts? Damn, this guy is a spirit!"
He had learned a lot. It was okay to run fast, but without muscles, how could there be muscle memory? How did they perform these fighting techniques and tactics?
He vaguely guessed that these vine-armored skeletons must have been extraordinary beings when they were alive.
However, although the skeletons are powerful, they are after all skeletons that only have the fighting instinct.
At first, everyone underestimated the strength of the skeleton and was caught off guard by the strange vine armor, suffering a small loss.
But there were three legends there, and twice as many people to crush them. After some effort, they were finally beaten into a pile of bones.
But... this seems to be just the first wave of monsters?
…
After clearing out these forty-three skeleton monsters, forty-three almost complete sets of armor were stripped off.
Helmet, breastplate, arm guards, leg guards, and wrist guards, covering almost all the vital parts of the body.
The crowd was not in a hurry to attract the second wave of monsters, but instead studied the vine armor that had caused them a small loss.
Without the black energy on the skeleton, the vine armor really became an ordinary set of vine armor, and there was no longer any weird feeling of raging devilish flames.
Ryan also took a rattan wrist guard and squeezed it.
It is soft, like some kind of plant fabric, and very tough.
After some research, everyone still couldn't figure it out.
These protective gears were very large and just right for the tall Coleman warriors, so he simply let one of the warriors put them on and try them out.
Everyone was shocked by this.
The Coleman warrior released his fighting spirit, and the vine armor he wore actually emitted blazing black flames just like the skeletons had just worn. The luster of the runes became more and more obvious. The soft vine armor immediately became invulnerable to swords and knives.
"Oh my god, this is 'legendary level' protective gear!"
"It's unbelievable, these are actually legendary armors!"
“…”
The Colemans had no idea about the equipment, but Ymir and the other people from Omar knew it very well and became excited.
Ordinary armor is just an external object and has little to do with the strength of a transcendent.
But there is a kind of protective gear that looks ordinary, but once the fighting spirit is added, the defense power will immediately increase several times. As long as the fighting spirit is not destroyed, the armor will not be broken!
It is a kind of ancient alchemical equipment whose forging method has been lost, and it is also called "legendary" equipment.
Ymir looked at the demonic armor on the Coleman warrior and was very shocked. He confirmed: "Yes, this is the legendary armor!"
In the Oma Royal Capital's treasury, there are some "legendary-level" protective gear pieces, but the number of complete sets can be counted on one hand.
And that was the accumulation of the Omar royal family over a thousand years, and there were only a few sets!
For these fifth-level transcendents, having a single piece would be enough to brag to their peers, but in front of them...
After clearing out a wave of small skeletons outside the temple, I got forty-three complete sets of "Legendary Armor" ? !
The group of high-level transcendents looked like bumpkins who had never seen the world, and they could not hide the shock in their eyes.
At this time, Tust carefully studied the ancient runes on the vine armor and explained the origin of the vine armor. "This rune is a bit like the [Immortal Rune] described in the legend. From this point of view, this armor is a bit like the vine armor mentioned in ancient alchemy."
After a pause, the master continued, "Legend has it that in the Monk's era, the [Black Emperor] Moises had an invincible army under his command. They wore 'vine armor', were immortal, and invincible..."
"Um."
At this time, "Elder Insect Master" Yimuyu also nodded in agreement and said, "Similar sayings are also circulated among our Coleman tribe. But it is said that after Lord Moises was defeated, the invincible rattan armor army disappeared from the world, and no one has ever seen them again..."
Obviously, these armors might be the legendary [Rune Vine Armor], and those skeletons might be the invincible army under the Black Emperor back then.
Currently, only a few high-ranking officials such as Ryan and Ymir knew about the "Black Emperor's Tomb". When they heard this, a question immediately came to their mind.
Could it be that the Black Emperor is really in this temple?
…
The little skeletons on the periphery are so powerful and well-equipped. Could there be something even more terrifying inside?
Obviously, everyone has thought about this question.
After all, the risks were getting increasingly out of control, and Ymir had to consider everyone's safety.
She turned around, looked at Ryan and asked, "Lord City Lord, do you think we should continue exploring or take a long-term view?"
Logically speaking, Ryan, a second-level transcendent, has little presence in this kind of battle situation.
But whether it was Ymir or everyone else, they all turned their eyes over.
In their hearts, the opinion of Ryan, the "city lord", is of great significance.
Ryan naturally wanted to find out what was going on, but after all, he was not the one fighting for his life, so he said, "Let's see what everyone thinks."
There will definitely be a continuous battle in the future, and the three legends who are the main players must express their stance first.
There aren't many treasures in the world that a legend like Basel would be interested in, but these legendary armors aroused his interest.
As soon as Ryan said that, Bazel looked eager to try and said, "Tsk tsk... We have confirmed that no matter how powerful those skeleton monsters are, they will not exceed level five. Although they are difficult to deal with, they are not impossible to defeat. If there is really any particularly strong existence, even if we can't defeat it, we can still leave."
This statement was agreed by everyone.
Everyone present was a high-level transcendent who had experienced many battles. They were confident that they had some skills and certainly would not be scared off by a few skeletons.
Tust was still thinking about the mine, so he naturally agreed to continue the cleanup.
What's more, his mecha can easily deal with these skeleton monsters, so there is no pressure even if there are more of them.
He also said, "The more dangerous it is, the more it means that there are valuable treasures in this temple. Now, just by killing some skeleton monsters, we have obtained dozens of sets of legendary armor. I think... even if there are risks, it is worth a try. Moreover, if we don't deal with the hidden dangers of this temple, we have to worry about these skeleton monsters causing trouble when we go to the mine. My opinion is that this temple must be cleaned up."
Elder Yimuxu stroked the pottery jar beside him, looking calm the whole time, and said, "I agree."
After the three legends expressed their opinions, the remaining high-level extraordinary people naturally had no objections.
Originally everyone was eager to fight.
The eighty people present here represent more than half of the top combat power in Black Dragon City. It would be strange if they were scared away.
Everyone was a little hesitant before, but it was not because of fear, but because of caution.
Now that the decision has been made, I feel secretly excited.
This hunting trip will probably bring them huge gains.
Not to mention other things, more than two thousand skeleton monsters, doesn’t that mean more than two thousand sets of “legendary” armor were given away?
Ymir said without further ado, "Alright! Since everyone agrees to fight, let's continue with the previous plan to clean up the temple. Now that we have figured out the combat power and weaknesses of these vine-armored skeletons, we should try to make the next ambush as quick as possible."
"The ambush circle retreats one kilometer and prepares for battle!"
She perfected the tactical arrangements, and everyone found a new location to set up an ambush circle, first clearing out the surrounding miscellaneous soldiers.
Then, the two fifth-level professional thieves sneaked into the temple again to "lure monsters".
