I Keep Witches While Others Keep Dragons-422 Chapter 424

The Malan Relic was said to be the residence of a God before the Gods' war.

Because of the outbreak of God's war, the first group of weak gods had been annihilated.

But their addresses were kept.

The remaining divine energy had changed into pure evil energy over a long time.

Many mages had explored this place, but unfortunately, they all died.

As for those who died here, only humans would become a kind of fiend called ghost bone.

It was widely acknowledged that the Malan Relic was a relic without any treasure.

However, it was located on the main road from the first floor to the second floor of the forest, where there were fewer monsters.

This passage could lead people to the second floor safely, and they only needed a few mages to protect them to pass through.

It was one of the important passages for mineral transportation in Roland Forest.

But because of the Malan Relic, people could only make a detour or pass through it in the daytime.

There was no need to add a lot of unnecessary risks.

Andrew led the team to the first floor of Roland Forest.

As they went deeper, the expressions on their faces became more and more serious.

Cruz, on the other hand, put his hands in the bags and blew his mouth casually, just like joining a spring outing.

"The first time to go to the second floor?" Andrew asked the two girls on the team, Nina and Malin.

Nina was a timid girl.

When she received the commission, she looked imposing, but when she came to the Roland Forest, she immediately showed her true colors.

Her beautiful face turned scarlet, and any movement of the wind could frighten her.

"For... for the first time, I heard it was horrible here," Nina replied in a low voice.

All of a sudden, a mole jumped over.

Nina screamed in horror. She wanted to hold Andrew in her arms subconsciously but was stopped by Andrew.

"You have to overcome this by yourself. Otherwise, when we go to the Malan Relic, are you going to drag the team back?

Your classmate will die because of you."

Andrew said and let go of his hand.

Nina lowered her head, murmured, and said yes weakly.

In contrast, Malin was much bolder.

The little girl with freckles on her face was shivering, but she held the wand in her hand tightly and forced herself to calm down.

'She was a strong little girl.'

Andrew thought.

'Huh? Wait, she seems to be one year older than me.

Oh, then forget the word 'little'.'

In contrast, grade two was much more spineless.

In addition to the captain, the other three students were as timid as chickens, hiding behind Cruz. It was doubtful if they could come in handy in the following battle.

Soon, they arrived at the transition area of the first and second floors.

The moment they stepped into the transfer area; all the students' faces darkened.

The magic power of the environment suddenly increased, causing eight students to feel strong discomfort.

That was why Andrew chose to walk.

It didn't matter for Andrew to go to the first, second, or third floor.

But they couldn't.

Just the magic power in the environment would cause a serious burden to them.

They had to walk into the forest so that their bodies could gradually adapt to the high-pressure magic power in the environment.

If they were directly transferred to the destination, the eight of them might not be able to adapt to the environment's magic power and suffer from stress disorders.

In this way, they continued to move forward for about a kilometer, and all the disciples looked tired.

It was not until this moment that everyone realized the importance of physical strength.

Without the three or four days of training, probably none of the eight people could hold on till now.

Let alone the following battle.

Zorro and Zack looked at Andrew and Cruz.

Their relaxed look shocked the two brothers.

Under such a heavy environment, they were able to walk just like walking on flat ground.

If only I could be as strong as them... No, half-strong is enough.

As the sun set.

They finally arrived at their destination.

The setting sun in the evening cast a dim golden light.

A white palace covered with vines suddenly appeared in the dense forest.

It was a small palace.

It covered an area of only thirty or forty acres. There was only a dome with a hole in it.

It was weird.

He could feel that some monsters were moving in the forest around him before, but as soon as he arrived at the Malan Relic, all the monsters in perception miles immediately disappeared.

Is there anything wrong with perception?

That's not it.

All the fiends escaped.

"There is nothing here." Squatting on the outer wall of the palace, Nina said in a trembling voice, "If not, can we go back now?"

Andrew gently hit her forehead with a hand and said, "What are you thinking about? Ghost bones were night-walking monsters, and sunlight was fatal to them.

In the daytime, they would hide in the dark and pretend to be dead. In this state, they were no different from corpses.

But they would come out after sunset.

There were like ghosts."

"Ghost... ghost?"

Hearing this, Nina was so scared that her face turned pale.

The other students couldn't help but swallow when they heard this.

Andrew looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost sunset."

As he spoke, the sun at the other end of the mountain sank into the horizon. The last ray of sunshine dissipated, and the sky turned yellow-brown and gradually dark.

The surrounding environment also became strange at this time.

"Uh!"

A hoarse sound came from the distance.

In the palace far away, a figure staggered out of the dilapidated gate shrouded in darkness.

Everyone took a closer look.

"Eh... Eh!"

"Shh!"

Nina was so frightened that she couldn't help screaming. Zorro covered her mouth from behind.

The students of grade two nearby were so scared that they covered their mouths and didn't dare to make a sound.

It was a black mummy.

That's flatter to say it was a mummy. After all, the mummy had meat.

It was a skeleton shelf wrapped in black plastic wrap.

He looked more dejected than the dying Monado.

Through the skin, one could see the series of each bone.

There was no eyeball in its empty eyes.

Compared with the real skeleton, it was just one more layer of skin.

His whole body was gray-black and walked unsteadily. As if a finger prick would break him apart.

This was the ghost bone, a mid-rank fiend.

Don't judge a person by his appearance. This is the law of mages.

This kind of fiend looked weak and could be pushed down by a child, but in fact, they had astonishing strength and speed.

Usually, they wandered around in their habitat aimlessly. Once they found their prey, they would pounce at an astonishing speed.

Their bodies were equipped with a special skill "Low-level Magic Immune".

No low-level magic could hurt it, and the damage caused by middle-level magic would be reduced by 80%.

What was more, their shriveled bodies were extremely hard, between the secret silver and the refined gold.

In other words, a ghost bone was enough to kill all the people in the town overnight. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

The deadliest thing was that this kind of fiend transformed from a human corpse: Ghost Bone, was a social fiend.

While thinking, more and more ghost bones came out of the relic.

More than this.

The surrounding ground suddenly cracked, and one arm after another stretched out from the ground.

Many ghost bones chose to bury themselves in the soil to spend the day.

In a twinkling of an eye, hundreds of ghost bones had appeared in the Malan Relic.

Just as everyone was about to discuss countermeasures.

"Hey... Look!"

A grade two girl suppressed her fear and reminded everyone to look back.

The ground about 35 meters behind them was bursting.

Three ghost bones were coming out of the ground.
