Chapter 822: Chapter 505: The True Marvel of the Silver Lion Ring
The owners of these skeletons were probably strong beings.
However, Zong Shen noticed something unusual!
These skeletons were quite scattered, almost completely disassembled.
Rib bones, spinal bones, and numerous fractures.
As for the skull, it was split into four parts; Zong Shen found them and discovered that the cracks were very irregular.
This indicated that it wasn’t caused by a slash, but rather by a hammer strike or some kind of blunt force.
Moreover, the power of this blunt force was quite significant.
Over ten thousand years have passed, which is indeed a very long time.
It wasn’t easy for Zong Shen to recreate the scenario back then.
He held a magic power flashlight in hand, carefully searching the ground.
He found a few fragments of battle armor.
Spending three to four minutes, Zong Shen collected dozens of fragments.
Some were as large as a basin, while others were only fist-sized.
Similarly, the cracks were irregular.
However, Zong Shen made a new discovery on these battle armors.
There were pitch-black burn marks.
Combining the state of the bone fragments and battle armor, Zong Shen couldn’t help but think of the end-of-time explosion Baron Bezos had mentioned. Undoubtedly, this fits the characteristics of explosion damage.
The explosion damage from back then likely covered most of the relevant area; otherwise, it wouldn’t be deemed the end.
However, the remains of Lion Skeleton Knight Commander Richardson were intact.
Clearly, there was definitely an explosion at the end, but it wasn’t just the explosion.
It was merely that the explosion’s power was the most overwhelming.
Regardless of how it was, Zong Shen was already certain that the owner of the skeleton in front of him died from explosion damage.
And the explosion’s power was immense; otherwise, such tearing would not have occurred.
After making a round of observations, Zong Shen retreated from the gap.
He moved forward again, with the flashlight being the only source of light.
After advancing five to six meters, an indistinct "tap tap" sound suddenly echoed from the tunnel ahead.
The underground cave was already so silent, it seemed cut off from the world, especially with Zong Shen deliberately slowing his steps.
Since entering the underground cave, he had maintained a highly alert and guarded state.
When this unusual sound appeared not long after, Zong Shen became aware of it.
He halted his steps and even began to retreat, backing up to the gap in the wooden beams.
By this time, the "tap tap" sound became more pronounced, even producing an echo.
When Zong Shen stopped, a massive shadow emerged from the left end of the corridor.
"Roar!"
"Crack, crack..." Sounds of a wraith’s low roar and bones grinding against each other reached his ears.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, a red glow flared, with dark red soul fire igniting from a skull.
The newcomer was a Lion Skeleton Knight!
The red glow of the soul fire shone from two hollow eye sockets.
The atmosphere of death and slaughter began to spread.
The undead had their own method of perception, and at least the skeleton knight in front quickly locked onto Zong Shen’s position. It used its skeletal hands covered in worn arm armor to tug at the reins.
The undead bone horse beneath it immediately set its four hooves ablaze with pale blue flames, starting a charge along the underground corridor.
"Tap tap tap!"
The echo of hooves striking the ground answered with a resonant sound, explaining the earlier "tap tap" noise.
Due to lighting issues, Zong Shen couldn’t make a detailed observation of this creature’s form.
Apart from the dark red soul flames illuminating the upper body, Zong Shen did not see its other parts clearly.
Seeing this Lion Skeleton Knight initiate a reckless charge, he instantly stooped and slipped into the wooden beam structure.
To compete with an undead bone horse in straight-line acceleration was akin to courting death.
Whether planning to fight or flee, leaving one’s back exposed to cavalry is unwise.
In the glow of the soul fire, Zong Shen vaguely noticed a heavy lance hanging on this guy’s right side.
And this lance seemed quite complete, capable of skewering him through without issue.
After slipping into the gap, standing next to the skeleton, a large shadow and blue hoof flame appeared outside the gap not long after.
With the magic power flashlight, Zong Shen confirmed it was indeed that entity.
It seemed to understand that Zong Shen had slipped into this small corner, thus stopping outside the gap.
Seizing this gap, Zong Shen decided to take the opportunity to examine its attributes.
Honestly, as long as cavalry is restricted by terrain, Zong Shen is not afraid of single combat.
With his current strength, a typical Overlord Level monster could not withstand him.
This is evident by referring to his performance when subduing Eagle.
He slightly bent down and began observing through the gap.
