Chapter 258 Behemoth’s Kingdom of Death

Half a day later, Li You and his party, who were traveling at full speed, successfully left the temple country.

When everyone walked out of this land, a large group of lizardmen followed behind them. Because of time constraints, they didn't clean it up.

Finally, when Li You and others crossed the border, a dozen lizardmen followed. The ones behind still wanted to pounce out, but an invisible barrier had been regenerated, blocking them back.

It was a seal set by the gods, and there was no way in or out of this land.

The lizard people who followed also discovered that the barrier was back in operation, and they stared at the compatriots inside, and they were all a little angry.

But the next moment, with a flying sword piercing the chest of a red-skinned lizardman from behind, Li You and others had already come back to kill all the lizardmen who had slipped out of the barrier.

Looking at the grinning lizard people in the barrier, but unable to get out of the barrier no matter what, Xiao De breathed a sigh of relief and felt that trouble was avoided, but Xiao Pa felt a chill down his spine.

"Is this land so dangerous, with no way to get in or out? No wonder those soldiers of the Golden Kingdom..."

Li You patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think about it, we are already out anyway."

"Now, be vigilant, the country of Behemoth is beneath your feet."

Xiaode and Xiaopa nodded.

The dividing line here on this piece of land is fine. If you go further, you will find a space with completely different scenery and origin.

If you look at the topography alone, this place is not much different from the previous wasteland, with barren land and stacked stone hills.

However, the wilderness here is littered with decaying white bones, including human skeletons, beast skeletons, and even the occasional remains of monsters.

The land is a lifeless gray, and the sky is always dark, like a net covering everyone.

If the main color of the forest is rich golden yellow, and the temple kingdom is simple and solemn, then the first impression this land gives people is that of death, as if the earth itself has lost its life.

Xiaode suddenly shuddered and grinned: "This ghost place is too intrusive!"

Xiaopa's face was not good-looking either: "According to the records in the book, this place was not like this in the past. It was after Behemoth came that it turned into a dead place. We must be careful."

Aggie reached out and touched an unknown spine half-buried in the earth, covered with dark moss: "These things don't look new."

Xiaopa replied: "No, this land in the past is still dangerous and full of monsters, but it's not like this deathly atmosphere. It's simply..."

Xiaode interjected: "It's like arriving in the kingdom of Hades..."

Li Youyou: "No matter what, we will make steady progress."

Everyone gripped their weapons, prepared for a sudden attack, and then moved forward.

Not far away, there was a faint sound of fighting ahead.

"Wait, there's... someone in front of you!" Ai Ji reminded.

Li You's expression changed: "Is there someone here? Be careful, let's go take a look."

Everyone slowly approached the location where the sound came from, but what they saw shocked everyone, including Li You.

In the wilderness ahead, two groups of people were fighting.

There are indeed two groups of "people", one of which is a soldier of the Golden Kingdom, and the other... is also a soldier of the Golden Kingdom.

It looked like they were fighting among themselves.

Xiao De and Xiao Pa: "Huh?"

Li You narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh? Interesting."

There were not many people fighting in the front. There were only about twenty people on both sides. They were indeed soldiers from the Kingdom of Gold. They were all alive. They wore the same armor and used standard weapons, but their blows were deadly when they fought. It seemed that the people in front of them were not comrades, but life and death enemies.

Li You was not surprised that the soldiers from the Golden Kingdom appeared here. In the game, they were the first ones to appear here.

But the scene in front of me is also different from the game. At least there is no scene of soldiers fighting among themselves in the game. It is better to say that even the set hostile camps will not attack each other.

"Don't panic, let's check the situation first." Li You waved to Aiji, and Aiji immediately understood what he meant, closed his eyes, listened carefully, and shared what he heard with Li You through a mental link.

——On the battlefield.

A total of about twenty Golden Kingdom soldiers are fighting in a melee, but if you look over briefly, you can still find that they are divided into two relatively obvious waves, with only a few people left on the disadvantaged side.

At this time, the soldier captain on the dominant side, holding a brass axe, had completely suppressed the enemy captain. His ax was pressed down, and the enemy captain's sword was already groaning faintly.

And he laughed wildly and said: "You haven't given up yet, ah? You are finished! Now, joining us is the only choice!"

The other captain fought hard, pushed him back two steps, and cursed angrily: "Bah! I will not betray the king and surrender to the monsters just to survive like you!"

The smile of the one who was called the traitor disappeared, and he said with a cold face: "We just want to live, what's wrong with that? Could it be that the damn king sent us to die knowing that we would never come back, and we still have to be willing ?"

"That's not the reason for you to surrender to the monsters!"

The traitor soldier captain's face completely darkened: "Then it seems I have nothing to say to you. Do it!"

Following his order, several Hecate priests came out from behind the battle line under the protection of the soldiers. They muttered words and cast spells together.

This time was different from the previous Kun Kun magic. They all joined forces to release a large magic. The effect was that the corpses that had just fallen on the battlefield got up one after another, and their flesh and blood dissipated in the wind like dust. Became freshly baked skeleton soldiers!

The soldier captain on the disadvantaged side was shocked, and then yelled angrily: "You bastards! You actually used this kind of magic!"

The traitor in his mouth sneered: "Isn't it thanks to your general that he took away the cursed sledgehammer?"

"you…!!"

"It's useless to talk more!" The soldier captain waved his hand, "Go to hell!"

The transformed skeleton soldiers immediately swarmed forward and killed all the soldiers who refused to surrender.

On Li You's side, Xiao De and Xiao Pa, who were secretly observing, frowned: "Those transformed skeleton soldiers also have their own companions, right? Do these people not care at all?"

Aiji originally wanted to say something, but then his expression changed and he warned: "Wait a minute, those skeleton soldiers have discovered us!"

Everyone turned to look, and sure enough they saw that neither the human soldiers nor the priests responded, but the skeleton soldiers sensed the aura of the living, and moved around with staggering steps one by one!

"Go on, deal with the sacrifice first! Ai Ji!"

Li You made a quick decision and jumped out of his hiding place, followed closely by Aiji.

"They are all skeleton soldiers, get on with the sledgehammer!"

This was the instruction left by Li You, so brothers Xiaode and Xiaopa put away their swords and took the sledgehammer from Yuzi.

Li You specially asked Yuzi to carry the two sledgehammers all the way. After all, considering the physical abilities of the two brothers, most of the time using a sledgehammer to get past was the fastest way.

Yuzi not only had these two sledgehammers, but also bows, arrows, battle axes, and even Yege hanging on his back, but they were motionless and showed no reaction.

Li You and Aiji each took a route and rushed towards the sacrifices. Long Shan was already ready to go. He took the opportunity to look at Yuzu and the two brothers, who were waving sledgehammers and knocking the skeleton soldiers apart one after another, and thought to himself:

"Let's call them the demolition team from now on."

The next moment, the dragon flash flew out diagonally and cut off the two priests in one breath!

On the other side, Aiji also threw the chain sword. The blade and chain were wrapped in energy, making the flying sword body somewhat controllable. The priest who was targeted by her turned sideways and tried to hide, but the flying sword turned a small bend under Aiji's control and still cut his neck. The priest died on the spot.

As for the last sacrifice, Li You waved out the original spear, raised his hand and threw it, nailing him to the ground.

Before the soldier captain on the side could react, most of the skeleton soldiers in front had been scattered to pieces by Yuzi and the three of them, and all the sacrifices in the rear had been eliminated. He was suddenly shocked and furious, and roared: "Kill me!!"

Li You was too lazy to take care of his mood. He stepped hard on the ground and rushed towards the soldier captain at full speed. The captain only had time to raise the battle ax in his hand, and the knife in Li You's hand flashed past with a cold light!

Ashina Jumonji!

The soldier captain was still stunned on the spot, but his breastplate suddenly cracked, blood spurted out, and he fell down unwillingly. Li You turned to the remaining soldiers. They were all cowered together in fear. They didn't dare to step forward, but they refused to stop. In the end, Xiao De and Xiao Pa dealt with them one by one.

"Li You, there is someone alive here!" Ai Ji said from the side.

Naturally, what she was talking about was not the fish that slipped through the net, but the small group of soldiers who had been killed by this group of people before. Among them, there was still one lucky person who survived.

Li You came to him and squatted down, took out the gourd of wound medicine, sprinkled some on his wound, and asked, "Can you hear me?"

The soldier was injured in the lungs, and the medicine gourd could no longer save him, but it could only help him breathe again.

He was already unconscious, so he just grabbed Li You's wrist and said: "Reinforcements...finally! Go find the general, he is in...the cave..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand hard and pointed in a certain direction, and then died completely before he could say a few more words.

Li You held a moment of silence for him: "Thank you for your standard NPC death method. This message is very useful."

He stood up and said to everyone: "Judging from their conversation just now, the Golden Kingdom soldiers here seem to be divided into two factions. Some of them have defected to Behemoth, and the rest seem to be still holding on."

"In order to find out what is going on in this land, I suggest we go find the general this soldier is talking about."

In fact, what he said was mainly for Xiaode and Xiaopa, and Yuzi and Aiji would not have any objections.

After listening to it, the two brothers felt that Li You's suggestion was reasonable, so they agreed, and everyone set off immediately.

But what they didn't know was that although Li You's proposal seemed reasonable, it was actually for his own selfish desires.

His real target was the sledgehammer mentioned in the conversation between the soldiers.

In the game, when the player comes to this map, the first thing that appears is a soldier captain with several subordinates. The captain also held a weapon in his hand, the golden lion head hammer.

This golden sledgehammer shaped like a lion is the only artifact in the game. Not only is it the most powerful of all weapons, but more importantly, it is extremely rare. It is only available in all maps in the game. This map has a lot of that.

I believe that friends who have played this game before will be deeply impressed by this thing.

Because of its handsome appearance, great power, and high rarity, this hammer has been nicknamed the Hammer of Severance of Love and Righteousness.

No matter how good friends or brothers they are, after they cooperate and come here, their friendship will inevitably break when they see this hammer. Only this sledgehammer is left in their eyes, and they fight for it. It can be said to be the curse of an artifact. .

That's what Li You wants.

He's not bragging. When he was a kid, he and his younger siblings competed for this hammer in a game, and he never lost!

Of course, the difference with the sledgehammer in the plot is that the soldiers will mention that it was because someone took it from the tomb of King Cecrops of Athens that the dead awakened in this land. .

This is also a point that Li You wants to know in detail, and it's not entirely for his own selfish desires... at least that's what he told himself.

In short, the group of people moved towards the location pointed out by the soldier before he died.

……

Living in this land littered with bones, the human spirit is constantly being tested.

It is really dead silence here. Looking around, there is not even a bird in the sky, not even a lizard or reptile on the ground. There is no sign of life. It is really like the underworld.

The only "animals" in this country are the wild skeleton soldiers that get up from the ground from time to time.

"Clap-"

Li You swung his sledgehammer and smashed another skeleton soldier who had just half-expanded out of the soil, and then kicked his head towards Yuzi.

Yuzu raised her big foot and pressed down on it, crushing the skull into pieces.

The rest of the skeleton soldiers are okay, they are not particularly strong and their movements are relatively slow. But they can use weapons, and the core seems to be in the skull. If the skull is not crushed, they will absorb the surrounding bones and get up again.

But the other parts of their bodies were forgotten. They could be easily broken apart with a sledgehammer, but the skulls were the hardest. Even if Li You wanted to smash them, it would take some effort.

So the current method for everyone to deal with the skeleton soldiers is to knock off the head with a hammer, then throw it to Yuzu and let him smash it. This saves time and effort and avoids falling into a vicious cycle.

On the other side, Xiaopa was inspecting a simple pit on the ground. The pit was more than one meter deep, with wooden thorns buried in it, and a relatively fresh corpse covered with it.

Xiaode looked at him: "This seems to be..."

"They are roaming thieves." Xiao Pa nodded, "They are found in various areas. I didn't expect them to come here. I am really not afraid of death."

Xiaode used his long sword to pick out the package on the thief's back, turned it over, and said in surprise: "There is a map in it!"

When Li You heard this, he also came over to take a look and found that it was a hand-drawn paper, but the approximate location was still drawn.

"You two are lucky, you can find the map here."

The map the brothers carried only extended to the border of the Temple Kingdom, and the area of ​​Behemoth's influence was completely obscured. Although the bandit's hand-drawn map may not be accurate, it is at least a reference.

Li You looked at the map and said, "If this unlucky guy has drawn it correctly, then we can see the stronghold of the Golden Kingdom if we go a short distance further."

Xiaode and Xiaopa looked at each other: "Then what are you waiting for?"

Everyone continued to move forward, and finally, they found the stronghold of the Golden Kingdom soldiers not far from what was shown on the map.

However, the style of this stronghold surprised everyone.

Compared with the passes we have seen before, most of the structures in this stronghold are made of stones and the bones of giant beasts. Only a few important places are covered with cloth. It looks primitive and wild.

But looking at the barren land around them, no one found it strange. To build a stronghold here, the only materials that could be used were animal bones and stones that were everywhere.

Xiaopa asked: "Li You, what should we do? Should we check the situation here, or should we sneak in?"

Xiaode put forward his own opinion: "How about we fight in?"

No one else bothered to talk to him.

Li Youyou: "It's a pity that Ye Ge went to sleep after sucking enough of the lizard man's blood. Otherwise, he could have let him investigate first..."

He was thinking about how to deal with it, and Aggie discovered something again: "Someone is coming again!"

Li You turned around and saw that on the other side of the wasteland, a team of nearly a hundred people, composed of Golden Kingdom soldiers and skeleton soldiers, was approaching in a mighty manner.

Not to mention, the general in the middle, with a human body, a snake tail, holding a bow and arrows, and a head full of snake hair, is none other than the legendary Gorgon Banshee, Medusa!

"That's...!?" Xiaode and Xiaopa also immediately saw Medusa, and they had different expressions.

"Are they... going to attack?" Li You fell into thinking.

Should he take action?

But Medusa moved much faster than he thought. The large army did not take a break and headed directly to the stronghold. With Medusa's wave, they immediately launched an attack on the stronghold!

"Direct attack?" Xiao Pa was also stunned, "Hell, does their captain understand... well, it is Medusa after all."

Li You looked towards the entrance of the stronghold.

There, a middle-aged man with a strong build and fine armor walked out. He held the helmet in his hand and dragged the dark golden sledgehammer in his other hand.

The shape of the sledgehammer was extremely exaggerated, and the hammer head was directly shaped into the head of a lion with a majestic mane, which looked extremely majestic.

Li You's eyes lit up: Okay! mine!

Naturally, the general over there didn't know that there was someone secretly coveting his hammer. He just looked at Medusa and the soldiers led by her, without saying a word, slowly put on his helmet and lifted the sledgehammer.

Then he exhaled loudly and shouted: "You heretics and traitors actually dare to appear in front of me! This time, none of you can escape!"

Li You and others were a little strange. He was obviously blocked here, so why did he make it sound like he had driven the enemy to a dead end?

Are you all surrounded by me alone?

Medusa didn't waste any time, just bent her bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the general.

However, the general's reaction was surprisingly fast. He dodged the bow and arrow with a sideways movement, and then rushed towards the enemy formation alone with the golden sledgehammer in hand!

"Uh-oh-oh--!!!"
