Chapter 327: Chapter 321, Human-face stone statue_i
10 o ‘clock in the morning.
Ten bone dragons, loaded with skeleton soldiers, landed in the territory of the gray bear.
The gray bear led the backbone of the camp to welcome them.
Curiously peering at the back of the bone dragon.
Fang Hao and the lizardmen did not appear. Instead, on the dragon’s back, were Anjia and a skeleton hero holding a black sword and shield.
“Miss Anjia, are you leading the team this time?” The gray bear said respectfully.
Anjia supported herself with one hand and jumped down from the back of the bone dragon, “Fang Hao is in command, he just didn’t come.”
“Ah? Oh.” The gray bear responded subconsciously.
How can someone who didn’t come command us?
Immediately after, Anjia opened her backpack. A skeleton sparrow engulfed in blue soul fire flew to Anjia’s shoulder.
It looked at the gray bear.
“How are the preparations?” The skeleton sparrow spoke up.
The gray bear immediately understood what she meant by command.
He immediately replied: “Sir, everything is ready, we can set off at any time.” Outside the stronghold, torches, ropes, and handcarts were ready, along with close to a hundred of his men, ready to set off at any time.
Fang Hao nodded. The gray bear, a former bandit, was efficient in his actions.
He informed the gray bear of the location of the Chaotic Stone Forest, and the two groups began to act separately.
The gray bear led his men to go first, while Fang Hao and his team would organize all the handcarts and tools they brought, to be carried by the bone dragons.
After the tasks were assigned.
The gray bear and his men set off from the stronghold in full strength.
They pushed straight through the dense forest towards the target location.
“Boss, did you ever go to the territory of the lord, I heard it’s awesome, several times better than even Pruell City.” A small fry kept walking, talking.
The gray bear gave him a look, “Who told you that?”
“I heard it when Miss Winnie was talking to the bartender. She said the living conditions are good, the environment is good, there are even hot springs that can whiten skin, everything over there just sounds perfect.” The small fry replied.
A few days ago, the gray bear and his men escorted Winnie and others to Lyss City.???? ’
Although they traveled together, there was virtually no interaction between them.
Gray bear and Winnie, apart from work needs, basically stayed with their own teams.
“I haven’t been there, but the place is full of undead, how could the environment possibly be good.” The gray bear stated his speculation.
“The boss has a point, it’s full of undead, how could the environment be good.” Another one chimed in.
“What’s wrong with undead, it’s not like you have to sleep with them. What does it have to do with the environment?”
“How could the environment where the undead live be the same as where humans live?”
“Who told you that the lord lives with the undead? Humans can live in the city while undead live in caves, right?”
The two pushed forward, their words getting increasingly heated.
It seemed like they were on the verge of coming to blows.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, an arrow precisely hit the ground at the gray bear’s feet.
The arrow impacted the ground, its shaft trembling.
Everyone instantly stopped, scattered around, and hid behind the massive trees.
“I don’t know who’s ahead, but I’m Gray Bear passing by, please let us pass.” Gray Bear leaned against the large tree and said loudly.
At the same time, he peeked from behind the tree towards what lied ahead.
He could see three archers in the trees.
There were also some people in the bushes below.
“So it’s Gray Bear, look at this, it seems like family doesn’t recognize family!” A boisterous laughter sounded as a man, clad in iron armor and leather boots stepped out.
From the looks of his attire, he was similar to a bandit or a robber, wearing a hodgepodge of equipment.
A few more fully equipped men followed the man.
“Who are you?” Gray Bear didn’t come out, but asked vigilantly.
“lam Momu. Our stronghold has been destroyed, and I have formed a group with some of the brothers who were left without a place to go,” said Momu loudly, thumping his chest as he spoke.
That’s the way with bandits.
If they’re wiped out, they regroup.
If one boss falls today, a new one will spring up tomorrow.
As long as they can recruit a dozen or so followers, they dare to declare themselves boss.
Gray Bear eyed Momu up and down, not showing much concern for him.
She said bluntly, “Now that we are acquainted, I’m in a hurry, so Boss Momu let us pass.”
She did not want to stay and tussle with Momu here.
If things were delayed, Fang Hao would indeed settle accounts with her.
“Ah, it’s not really convenient today, guys don’t you agree?” Momu shouted out.
“Yes!”
From behind the bushes came a chorus of voices, seemingly from over a hundred men.
The look on Gray Bear’s face turned grim, “Momu, we’re just passing through. Let us go, and you can continue to ambush your next prey. It’s that simple.” “It’s not simple… You, Gray Bear, seem to have a particular destination in mind. Why not take us along? We might get a share of the loot too,” Momu replied.
Gray Bear’s face turned even darker. Normally, she wouldn’t give Momu a second thought.
But if she fought him now, not only was he prepared, but she also couldn’t afford to waste much time.
Just as she hesitated.
Whoosh- Whoosh-!
A massive shadow swept over them.
Right after that, the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps came from behind.
There was the Black Sword, holding a dark shield, rushing over quickly with his skeleton soldiers.
Seeing Gray Bear standing still, Black Sword looked baffled. “Gray Bear, why are you stopped here?”
“Lord Black Sword, these people are blocking the way, demanding a toll,” Gray
Bear eyed Momu and his men not far away.
Black Sword glanced at Momu, who was slowly backing off.
Splash!
The skeleton soldiers had already encircled the bandits.
“No, no, it’s nothing, Gray Bear… you can go. The road doesn’t belong to anyone, anyone can pass,” Momu’s legs started to tremble and he spoke hurriedly.
Undead, near three meters tall, holding magic wands, Momu knew they were beyond his reach.
He wasn’t sure why Gray Bear was addressing the undead as ‘Lord’, but he did know that his recently regrouped group was no match for these creatures.
Moreover, those whooshing past in the sky seemed to be of the undead as well.
Looking at Momu and his men in the distance, with his hollow pupils, Black Sword casually uttered, “Killthem.”
Roar!
The skeleton troll charged directly into the crowd, swinging its weapon at the bandits.
These men were just a bunch of fugitive bandits gathered together with little to no coordination, thus they barely posed a threat.
When they heard the undead were about to strike, some turned and ran.
Those who stayed behind had no combat power at all.
Amid painful cries, the battle ended in about five minutes.
“Keep moving,” Black Sword ordered.
“Okay.” Gray Bear nodded. Without giving the dead bodies a second glance she led her people onward.
After another half hour’s journey.
By the time Gray Bear and Black Sword arrived, Fang Hao and the others were already waiting at the entrance of the Chaotic Stone Forest.
Ahead was a stone path leading to the mountain wall.

The hard path was lined with randomly placed human-shaped stone pillars.
They varied in design and stood about two meters tall. Some stood alone while others were clustered together.
It reminded Fang Hao of the human-faced stone statues on Resurrection Island that he had once seen on television.
