Chapter 1249: Heading to the Ruins

Dozens of Necromancer soldier corpses fell to the ground. Su Xiao walked out of the bear hole; he had been hunted by the Necromancer army all along and had been nearly surrounded many times.

While being hunted, Su Xiao certainly didn't just run for his life; he was also setting up escape routes. Fighting the Necromancer army head-on had absolutely no benefits. Although Necromancer soldiers had a chance to drop treasure chests, picking up treasure chests on a chaotic battlefield was simply unrealistic.

Although Su Xiao had killed a large number of Necromancer soldiers, he hadn't gained any benefits. He didn't intend to continue this kind of meaningless slaughter.

Piling the corpses into the bear hole, Su Xiao began to clean up the surrounding bloodstains. To make the subsequent plan successful, he couldn't let the Necromancer army find his specific location.

After cleaning up the scene, Su Xiao ran quickly through the forest. Soon, he arrived at a small stream. Previously, thousands of Necromancer soldiers had been stationed around this stream. Su Xiao had used Ring Break more than a dozen times to kill all these soldiers; it was this use of Ring Break that caused his right arm to suffer severe exhaustion, forcing him to hide in the bear hole.

The corpses by the stream were neatly piled into several heaps. The Necromancer army had passed through here and handled the corpses perfunctorily. Compared to burying these corpses, finding Su Xiao was more important to the Necromancer army; otherwise, these soldiers would have sacrificed themselves in vain.

Su Xiao sheathed Zhan Long Shan. Enduring the pungent bloody stench, he burrowed into the pile of corpses. Soon, his lower body was buried in the pile.

Taking out a remote control device from his storage space, Su Xiao pulled out the antenna and pressed the button.

Su Xiao held the remote control and shook it slowly; this damn thing actually had no signal. After tapping the remote control, the green light on the device flickered, but the signal was still not great.

Attempting to press the start button, a full minute later, nothing happened. Su Xiao pressed the button again.

A few seconds later, a signal flare rose three kilometers away. Not long after, an explosion sound came from beneath the signal flare.

Su Xiao threw the remote control device into the small stream; the plastic remote control was washed away. Su Xiao burrowed his entire body into the pile of corpses and exerted all his strength to shrink his aura, forcibly attenuating his vital signs.

*Thump, thump... thump... thump... *

Su Xiao's heartbeat became slower and slower. Eventually, his heartbeat reached about 5 to 10 beats per minute, only enough to ensure his organs would not fail due to hypoxia.

Su Xiao was now almost a corpse; the blood on his body covered his skin tone, not to mention he was in a pile of corpses.

About a few minutes later, thundering footsteps arrived. A rapid-marching army rushed past the pile of corpses. Behind the rapid-marching army was a Necromancer commander, his gaze looking toward those piles of corpses.

These corpses were not piled up randomly, but in a unique way specific to the Necromancer race, which could avoid enemy troops mixing in with the corpses.

After observing the corpse piles for a few moments, the Necromancer commander signaled a dozen Necromancer soldiers to determine if these piles of corpses were safe.

These dozen Necromancer soldiers rushed onto the corpse piles. Although they knew these were the remains of their comrades, war was the most ruthless thing.

They raised the weapons in their hands and began to stab randomly at the corpse piles. As for checking one by one, there simply wasn't that much time.

Inside the pile of corpses, Su Xiao compressed his perception to half a meter. A strangely shaped long sword pierced through a corpse, thrusting straight toward his chest.

His Intuition ability immediately judged the position of this thrust. Su Xiao relaxed his body, and the long sword entered his chest, about five centimeters away from his heart.

Su Xiao judged that this sword was not fatal, so he deliberately relaxed his body, reducing his own muscle defense.

The Necromancer soldier holding the long sword frowned. He felt the touch on the weapon was wrong; he seemed to have pierced something tough, but the thing he pierced didn't seem to be a living thing. For the sake of caution, he thrust his sword down again.

This sword passed under Su Xiao's armpit, just happening to pierce the bone of a corpse's arm.

The Necromancer soldier on the corpse pile pulled out the long sword. That face full of blood and filth had no grief; all that remained was numbness.

The Necromancer soldier leaped off the corpse pile. This pile of corpses had no abnormalities. Before walking away, this Necromancer soldier cut off a lock of his own hair and threw it onto the corpses, meaning, "Brothers, I am with you."

Between the Necromancer army and Su Xiao, there was simply no right or wrong; both sides were just hostile because they were in different situations. Where could there be a distinction of right or wrong?

The rapid-marching army walked far away. Su Xiao in the pile of corpses did not move; he still had to continue waiting.

A few minutes later, a large Necromancer unit arrived in front of the corpse pile. Seeing the very hidden cut hair near the corpse pile, they continued to march forward, but just before leaving, they poured oil on the corpse pile and set it on fire.

Inside the pile of corpses, a layer of Counter-Attack Shield wrapped Su Xiao inside. He still did not move.

A sharp whistle unique to a signal flare came from afar. Su Xiao in the pile of corpses opened his eyes and crawled out from the pile.

*Thump. * Su Xiao fell into the small stream nearby, and the nearby stream water immediately turned red.

Standing up from the small stream, pale red water droplets dripped from his cheeks. He looked up at the distant high sky, where several yellow signal flares were; the Necromancer unit had discovered the trap he had set.

Su Xiao cupped a handful of stream water and washed the bloodstains off his face; his whole person felt much refreshed.

Part of the Necromancer unit had been lured away by Su Xiao. The subsequent matter was very simple: head straight for the "Shasen Mountains."

The Xisike Plain separated the "Dark Moon Swamp" from the "Shasen Mountains." Su Xiao marching toward the "Shasen Mountains" was equivalent to moving away from the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins.

Su Xiao's plan was very simple: he prepared to leave the "Xisike Plain" area first, and after arriving at the "Shasen Mountains," bypass the "Xisike Plain" from the edge of the "Xisike Plain."

In the cognition of the Necromancer high command, Su Xiao wanted to reach the "Dark Moon Swamp," so they set up layers of checkpoints along the way. If Su Xiao really headed straight for the "Dark Moon Swamp," he would have long been surrounded and killed by the Necromancer race's elite troops, nine times out of ten becoming a corpse.

But Su Xiao's goal was not the "Dark Moon Swamp" at all, and he would also give the Necromancer race an illusion: that he had already reached the "Dark Moon Swamp." As for how to do this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu, who were ambushing in the "Dark Moon Swamp," could do it.

The plan of one person, one dog, and one cow was roughly as follows: first, Su Xiao would attract the Necromancer race, giving the dog and cow a chance to sneak into the "Dark Moon Swamp" and find the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins. Once the ruins were found, Amu and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would attract the Necromancer race's attention, and Su Xiao would take the opportunity to enter the Law-Extinguishing Shadow ruins.

There was no need to worry about Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's safety; that guy's survival ability was stronger than Su Xiao's. As for Amu, this honest cow could just soak in the swamp until this world ended.

Su Xiao began to march toward the "Shasen Mountains." Along the way, he encountered several rapidly marching Necromancer units. Sure enough, the Necromancer units were advancing toward the "Dark Moon Swamp" direction.

The Necromancer high command could not figure out how Su Xiao managed to cross the "Xisike Plain" and sneak into the Necromancer race's capital, the Dark Moon Swamp.

In reality, Su Xiao was still inside the "Xisike Plain." Being able to create this illusion was because Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's "You Can't See Me - Passive - Self-Comprehended Skill" was somewhat unsolvable. ===== CHAPTER 1250 =====
