Although the stone pillar lit up, the light film did not appear. Eske circled the stone pillar several times, but nothing abnormal appeared. This made him extremely disappointed. He sighed and took down the crystal again. The stone pillar became dim. .
Ange watched from a distance. When he saw Eske's futile efforts, Ange lowered his head and glanced at his wrist. The light film was transformed into the leather ornament on his wrist. Is the leather ornament needed to open the transmission channel?
Seeing Eske take off the crystals again, the stone pillars dimmed again. Ange knew that the key to his return home was probably in those crystals.
The crystal that was buckled was smaller than when it was first installed. Eske blew it heartbrokenly and then put it back into the satchel.
After returning the same way and passing Ange, Eske shrugged and said with a bitter look on his face: "It failed and it still can't be opened. Maybe we need to learn your way of survival in advance."
My way of survival? Grow vegetables? Ange tilted his head, raised his feet and followed.
Realizing that Ange was still following behind, Eske burst into laughter and said, "Why are you still following? Are you planning to go back to the underground city with me? But that's fine, the wilderness is too dangerous. I may not be able to see you next time. Are you willing to follow?" Just follow.”
Ange tilted his head. He felt that Eske seemed to have misunderstood. Going to the dungeon? Are there blue crystals in the underground city?
As soon as I returned to the crypt, Saw a zombie lying in front of Ange's crypt from a distance, howling.
As soon as the little zombie woke up, he found that Ange was missing, and immediately stopped going out. He stayed outside the crypt and howled. Maybe he thought that as long as he screamed loud enough, Ange would appear.
Sure enough, after calling for a long time, Ange appeared. The little zombie jumped up excitedly, howled and ran towards Ange, and then refused to leave despite saying anything.
So Eske continued walking, and Ange continued to follow, but there was a little tail behind him, and the little zombie followed Ange step by step.
One person, one bone horse, one skeleton and one zombie, a strange combination. They walked up the hillside until they reached the top. After climbing over, they found an endless wasteland, flat, desolate, with no end in sight.
Walking forward in one direction, from morning to evening, it was almost time for the wind of death to blow. Suddenly, on the ground that seemed flat in front of us, a 'gully' suddenly appeared.
It was like a crack had been cut in the earth, and it was sunken. Seeing this 'ditch', Eske burst into laughter and said excitedly: "I thought I couldn't make it in time and had to spend the night outside again. Hurry up, the underground city has arrived.”
Just when Ange and his party entered the "ditch", the wind in the wasteland gradually increased, but it was blocked by the edge. The wind entering the "ditch" was much smaller, acting as a wind-blocking effect like a cave.
Ange raised his head and felt the sharp wind whistling past his head. The cold feeling was stronger than in the cave. It should be more efficient to channel that cold atmosphere here than in the crypt, right?

Eske looked back at Ange and said, "Go faster, be careful that the evil wind will blow you away."
After admonishing him, Eske committed his self-talking habit again and murmured: "There used to be a big river here. When the river flowed here, when it encountered the lava geology, it seeped into the ground, cutting out a huge underground Space, our underground city is built in underground space, thanks to these underground spaces, otherwise our people would have been blown to death by the evil wind."
Eske muttered, not asking for a response. As he said, walking in the wilderness all day without even a single person to talk to, he developed a habit of talking to himself about everything. Habit.
He used to say things to the bone horse, but now it's not strange to say it to the skeleton, and he had a feeling that Ange, the little skeleton, seemed to understand what he said, at least better than his silly bone horse know more.
Ange listened silently and looked around. Perhaps because the wind of death was blocked outside, the environment in the ditch was much better than outside. There were shrubs in the corners, and moss grew on the dark sides of the stones. From time to time, he could see See some insects moving.
In the bushes ahead, a stone caught Ange's attention. The stone was wrapped with black smoke invisible to the naked eye. When Ange looked over, the smoke moved, and a human face slowly formed. .
"That's Black Face, a ghost, the pet of the old lich Felin. Black Face, this is the kid I brought back, don't scare people." Eske introduced, then turned to the ghost and said.
The face condensed by the smoke showed two holes where the eyes were. It rested deeply on Ange and the little zombie for a while, and then turned into a ball of smoke again and wrapped around the stone.
Continuing to go down, there is a crack on the bottom side of the ditch, which is more than ten meters wide and four or five meters high. It is the entrance to the underground city.
At this moment, at the entrance, a man holding an exquisite staff stood there, looking down the ditch.
This is a skinny 'person'. The skin exposed outside the clothes has no luster at all and is wrinkled. The muscles are as dry as if they have lost water and have no elasticity. The eye sockets are sunken and the cheekbones are high, like a corpse. Like a mummy.
This was indeed a mummy. Seeing this 'person', Eske greeted him from a distance: "Hey, Felin, why are you here? You're not greeting me, are you? It's too grand."
It was the owner of the ghost just now, the old lich Feilin.
Feilin smiled slightly, showing a very friendly smile and said: "Black Face saw you coming back, so come and take a look, what do you think? Did you gain anything?"
The old lich asked very vaguely, but Eske knew what he wanted to ask, he just didn't want to put too much pressure on Eske.
A forced smile appeared on Eske's face, he shook his head and said: "No, they are also short of food and refuse to sell it."
Feilin nodded with some disappointment: "It's normal. There are fewer and fewer places to grow food. No family is not short of food. If sell it to us, some of them will starve to death. Don't worry about it. It's not your fault .”
Eske smiled sarcastically and said: "I couldn't buy food anyway, so I went to the Sea of the Dead, but the teleportation channel still couldn't be opened, but the magic crystal shrank."
Feilin didn't care after hearing this, but was a little disappointed: "Still can't open it? This is normal. It's been a thousand years, and I don't know what happened to the Palace of Rest. I hope your majesty is in peace. If the magic crystal shrinks, just shrink it. Buy If you don’t get food, you can’t eat even if you leave magic crystals behind. Don’t worry, you’re tired too, go back and rest.”
Feilin's gentle words of comfort actually made Eskes eyes red. He sniffed and walked past Feilin before he managed to smile: "I met a quiet skeleton in the Sea of the Dead, and it followed me back. Haha, I doubt it can understand my words, as if it is intelligent."
Eske's words made Felin turn his eyes over and look at Ange casually. It wasn't until his eyes fell on Ange's wrist that he suddenly trembled and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Eske had already walked into the entrance and did not see anything strange about Felin. Only saw Felin staggering towards Ange. He ignored the exquisite staff and threw it to the ground. His trembling hand stretched forward, wanting to shake hands with Ange. , but when he reached halfway, he realized something was wrong, and quickly retracted it, looking at a loss.
If Eske had not gone in, his eyes would have been shocked to see the usually calm and calm old lich.
Feilin was excited for a while, then looked at Ange with hopeful eyes and asked: "Are you the new Lord Watcher?"
