The black fog shrouded the wilderness.
The entire cavalry squad assumed a defensive formation and continued to move forward.
Gu Qing Shan was running behind the cavalry squad.
It couldn't be helped, since he was a last-minute promotion, he didn't have time to equip his equipment or mount before he entered battle.
All of a sudden, the Earth sword's voice came:
「 Gu Qing Shan, you might as well take this chance to leave the squad 」
Luo Bingli also followed up: "We've already noticed that the Laws of this world are focused on each person's identity"
Shannu continued: "Just now, you indeed couldn't go against a military order, but that General isn't nearby right now, and you're at the very back of the squad, as long as you run away right now, your identity will become a 'deserter' and you won't die"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "Just like you said, the Laws of this world are focused on each person's identity, if I become a 'deserter', I'll be even more disliked by this world, which will only bring me closer to danger"
"That's why I can't become a 'deserter'"
Luo Bingli was confused: "Then what do we do? We can't just go and die like this "
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Even now, we still don't know what the Apocalypse is, so let's wait and see first"
The cavalry squad was moving forward quickly. While Gu Qing Shan was talking to the three swords, the entire squad had already gone past the place he checked before.
In just a few dozen breaths' worth of time, the area in front of them suddenly became clear, they were already out of the area covered by the black fog.
Gu Qing Shan became spirited, lightly jumped at the very back of the squad and looked forward.
Only to see a barren wilderness in front of them.
Grave after grave covered the entire wilderness as far as their eyes could see.
Some of these graves were big, some were small, some were tall, some were short, some were even taller than the clock tower of the capital city, while a few unassuming graves were about the size of a human graveyard.
Across this barren wilderness filled with graves, at the end of everyone's line of sight stood a large ship.
Strange, this ship clearly landed on the main road not too far from the city gate, so why did it suddenly turn into a barren wilderness filled with graveyards?
While Gu Qing Shan was curious, some of the ground around the graveyard began to loosen.
One by one, skeletons crawled out from the ground.
They held broken shields and swords in their hands as they slowly walked towards the cavalry.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes narrowed.
Skeleton …
Such a low-level monster wanted to resist a well-armed cavalry?
At this moment, the captain of the cavalry at the front of the group turned around and looked at him.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a mount, nor did he have the necessary weapons for a mounted battle. He only had a pair of boxing gloves.
The cavalry captain said, "That Li Qiushan, you don't have to ride. You don't even know how to ride a horse!"
"Ah, yes! Sir! "Gu Qing Shan hurriedly replied.
The cavalry laughed good-naturedly.
"Newbie, go back and train before going to the battlefield!" someone shouted.
"Silence!"
The cavalry captain shouted, "Ready, change formation, meet the enemy!"
The entire cavalry changed from a defensive formation to an offensive one.
All the mounts began to slowly accelerate, preparing to charge.
Gu Qing Shan looked ahead.
The cavalrymen raised their long-handled weapons.
Closer, closer.
In just a few breaths' worth of time, the cavalry at the front had fully accelerated.
"Kill!"
All the cavalrymen shouted.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Within the dust cloud, the cavalrymen charged straight at the skeletons.
Unstoppable.
The skeletons were killed on the spot.
The ones that managed to escape were also knocked down by the cavalry, then stomped into a pile of broken bones.
The cavalry captain laughed maniacally: "Ahahaha, a puny undead monster dares to stop our attack, you've overestimated yourself!"
The cavalrymen cheered.
All of a sudden, a voice came from deep within the graveyard.
"Celebrating too early is often a sign of failure"
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
From the sound of it, it was the monster that he talked to before!
"Be careful, that's a particularly powerful monster!" he loudly reminded everyone.
But it was too late. The voice came again:
"Mortals, all the evil you have committed shall be returned to you, while the things you kill shall be reborn"
This sounded like an incantation. Before the cavalrymen could react, something happened.
A grand waterfall of light appeared from the void of space.
All the cavalrymen who attacked the skeletons were enveloped by this waterfall of light.
A voice came from within the waterfall of light:
"Ready, change formation, meet the enemy!"
Several dozen voices responded at once: "Kill!"
This was the order and attack that the cavalrymen gave before!
In a split second, blurred figures appeared from the waterfall of light, charging straight towards the cavalrymen.
Charge!
Amidst the clamor of galloping, these blurred figures were getting closer and closer.
"That's my shadow!" one of the cavalrymen shouted in fear.
"I see myself, why is this happening!?" another soldier loudly shouted.
"Stop arguing, everyone defend!" the cavalry captain shouted.
The cavalrymen hurriedly formed a defensive formation.
But it was useless.
The blurred figures formed by the waterfall of light charged straight through everyone's bodies.
Death!!!
Blood splattered everywhere. Severed limbs scattered everywhere.
The entire cavalrymen were completely destroyed by this charge.
Just like what happened to the skeletons.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Intense wind kicked up as the blizzard howled!
All living creatures were completely scattered by the flowing light, turning into blood and bones that scattered in all directions in the wind and snow.
While the skeletons that were already destroyed quickly reformed their bodies and came back to life.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes wide, watching this unbelievable scene in front of him.
All of a sudden, a smear of blood flew towards Gu Qing Shan, staining his face.
Gu Qing Shan didn't try to dodge.
This was the blood of a certain cavalryman.
Just a moment ago, he was still alive and kicking.
Unfortunately, in front of such an eerie power, all of his efforts were insignificant and powerless.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, wiped the blood with his finger, and put it in front of his eyes.
What kind of ability did the monster use this time?
Could it be that anyone's attack will be reflected back on their own body?
How am I supposed to fight this!?
All of a sudden, a pair of spiky hands reached out from the void of space and grabbed Gu Qing Shan's neck.
The monster spoke with killing intent: 「 It's you again, mortal, this time I'm going to … 」
His voice was cut off.
Being choked, Gu Qing Shan couldn't move at all.
"Come on, kill me!"
He taunted the monster, opened his gaunt-covered hand, and broke off a small portion of the spikes on the monster's arm.
At the same time, a provocative bird's cry came from the void of space.
Xiu! Xiu xiu!
The monster abruptly looked up, but the bird's cry had already disappeared. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't find any traces of the other party.
A moment of silence.
A furious roar resounded from the void of space:
「 You bastard who stole my ability, do you think you can deal with me just like that? 」
It threw Gu Qing Shan far away.
Gu Qing Shan flew for several dozen meters before safely landing.
As he was about to say something, the pair of spiky hands began to dance in the air towards the graveyard.
「 Seeds that have been slumbering underground, now is the time for you to awaken 」 the monster raised its voice and chanted.
In just a few moments, the endless graveyard began to move.
Even the one that was as tall as a bell tower in the middle began to split apart.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and turned to run.
The monster chuckled in a low voice: 「 You won't be able to escape, the entire world will face the fate of destruction, let alone a mortal like you 」
But Gu Qing Shan didn't care about that.
He was running as fast as he could back the way he came.
Faster!
Faster!
Faster!!!
The monsters are about to come back to life!
The Heaven sword appeared behind him. Luo Bingli's incredulous voice came: "Gu Qing Shan, we haven't even fought and you're already running away?"
"That's not the case, it's just that before I acted, I felt …"
Gu Qing Shan coldly spoke: "Someone should pay for the deaths of these cavalrymen"
He continued to use [Ground Shrink] while also flying in between Divine Skills, quickly reaching the edge of the fog.
"Shannu!" Gu Qing Shan called out.
"I'm here, gongzi" an autumn-clear blue sword appeared from the void of space and turned into a cold woman.
Gu Qing Shan threw the spike to her and said: "Provoke that guy!"
"Got it!" Shannu held the monster's spike and solemnly replied.
She activated [Mystery of All Beings Equal] and slowly turned into a terrifying and eerie monster.
Gu Qing Shan wiped the remaining blood off his face, then activated [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to turn into a cavalryman.
He once again flew forward, covering several thousand meters in just a few breaths.
He escaped from the black fog!
Three rolls.
Two rolls.
Stop!
Gu Qing Shan crouched down and spat up some blood, shouting in a daze: "General! General sir! "
The people who were originally waiting still heard a resounding voice from within the black fog.
While they were still shocked, the cavalryman had already returned with heavy wounds.
The General scowled and shouted: "What happened? What happened? "
Gu Qing Shan cried: "Our people are all dead, that monster is too strong! Too strong! It said that if we're too weak, if even our commander doesn't dare to enter the black fog to fight against it, then we should quickly submit to it and become its slaves, that's the only way to survive! "
All was quiet.
The General took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
I'm the General now, I'm the General now, I definitely can't do anything that goes against my status!
The two subordinates who went against their status before have already disappeared.
The General silently muttered in his mind a few times, then suddenly laughed: "You want to trick me into fighting it with such a deceptive tactic?"
All of a sudden, the monster's voice came from within the black fog, immediately suppressing the General's voice.
"Ahhhhhh! Humanity's commander!』
『I'll be waiting for you inside the black fog. If you're nothing but a cowardly piece of trash, then just wait for the black fog to spread. At that time, the entire world will be destroyed by me!』
Everyone froze.
It really is the monster's voice!
It's issuing a challenge to humanity's commander!
Everyone turned to look at the General.
At this point, the cavalryman wiped his face and begrudgingly spoke: "General, our brothers are all dead, this subordinate begs you to avenge them!"
Avenge …
The General was forced to stand still, his mouth opened and closed for a long while, unable to say a single word.
If I don't go in now …
Then … it doesn't fit with my status as the General …
It thought silently and finally confirmed the answer.
