Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Boneyard and the Small Road Into the Mountain

Iron Pole was obviously much stronger after the Class Advancement.

Sometimes, he would climb up the big trees along the way and look around. At other times, he would nimbly land on the ground and walk along the shadows.

He was not much slower than Zong Shen, who was riding his old traveling horse.

During this period, Zong Shen did not rest either.

Along the way, they passed through using the guide modules as if they were scavenging.

They would dig a little in the east and look around in the west.

And he really did pick up something.

Most of them were all kinds of money bags and copper coins.

When put together, they had picked up 800 to 900 coins.

With this ability, Zong Shen could totally pick up money and become rich.

He also followed the guide and dug up two more corpses. Unfortunately, they were not of much value.

They were the corpses of wandering merchants who had passed by not too long ago.

From the corpses, Zong Shen only obtained some ordinary weapons.

It was better than nothing.

They walked and stopped.

An hour later, Zong Shen saw Colby resting under a big tree in the north.

At the same time, Colby spotted Zong Shen.

“Colby, anything unusual?”

Zong Shen tightened his grip on the horse’s stomach and came to Colby’s side.

“Lord, everything is normal!”

“Please guide me.”

Colby bowed.

“Come on. Let’s head northwest. Take me to the ruins of the temple in the woods you found yesterday.”

Zong Shen’s goal was clear.

According to Colby, he’d been on the northwest side of the territory.

In the dense forest beside the path leading into the mountain, he found an abandoned temple.

There seemed to be two treasure chests among them.

There was nothing more delightful than opening treasure chests.

“Lord, please follow me.”

Colby was clearly a qualified warrior.

After yesterday’s exploration, he knew all the routes like the back of his hand.

He led Zong Shen and Iron Pole towards the northwest direction.

In this position.

Zong Shen could already vaguely see a mountain range at the end of the vast field.

It was like a dark green thick strip dividing the pasture in half.

They continued heading northwest.

The grass here became more and more lush.

Almost past the knee of the old traveling horse.

No one knew what was hidden in the grass.

But with Colby leading the way, Zong Shen was very assured.

However, their progress was much slower.

Especially Iron Pole. Without a mount, it was very difficult for him to travel in such an environment.

His black tights were covered in grass.

About an hour later.

The three of them finally passed through the field.

Along the way, Zong Shen had thought that he would be attacked by wild beasts, but he realized that he had worried too much.

Those wild beasts would only go berserk at night.

What Zong Shen did not know was…

Those beasts could also sense danger.

Both Luna and Colby were extremely dangerous creatures.

They would not provoke him.

Of course, this was only one reason.

Imagine that.

In a range of 40,000 square kilometers, 10,000 “Lords” and 30,000 foolish farmers suddenly appeared. To the wild beasts living here, it was like a buffet opening. There were 40,000 moving food suddenly appeared.

These lords could attract these beasts.

But it would also make them more scattered.

This made Zong Shen, who wanted to kill a few wild beasts along the way, a little disappointed.

What is a beast?

That was a moving reward!

Not only could it drop items, but it could also break down to give fresh meat and fur materials.

Zong Shen and the other two passed through the meadow and entered a slightly barren area.

The soil on the ground had white spiderweb-like patterns.

Other than that, there were also wisps of mist emanating from the ground.

This was supposed to be the intersection between the forest and the pasture.

However, it had become like this.

The strangest thing was that as far as the eye could see, in this strange land, some undulating terrain revealed ghastly white bones.

These bones appeared to be made of jade. It was unknown how long they had been buried here.

It was actually the same as the skeleton of the elves that Zong Shen had dug up previously. It was not rotten.

“Stop! Iron Pole, Colby!”

Zong Shen waved his hand to stop them.

He began to carefully observe this land.

(Withering Boneyard)

(The Burning Blood Legion buried the massacred Elven civilians and soldiers here and sacrificed them to the Lord of the Burning Blood Tribe, creating a burial ground. Here, the Ancient War Trees of the Elves will not be able to take root.)

A golden guide appeared.

It answered the doubts in Zong Shen’s heart.

Zong Shen raised an eyebrow.

As a dirt digger, he instinctively felt that this boneyard should have some fame.

“Is there any treasure here?”

(There were 170,000 civilians, 57,000 elves guarding the city, and more than 100,000 alliance soldiers and mercenaries buried here. The corpses were soaked in the ground and stretched for 179 kilometers. It was set up by the Burning Blood Army to seal Esala. If you excavate it easily, it might alert the undead sleeping underground.)

(Unless you have a Great Necromancer, don’t look for trouble here.)

After reading the guide, Zong Shen immediately gave up.

This burial ground was a place of great danger.

If some big monster appeared later and killed him, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Keep moving, Colby.”

Colby nodded.

He led the way while riding the giant wolf.

He said.

“Lord, this kind of burial ground is hated by almost all living beings.”

Zong Shen remained silent.

This burial ground was very long, but it was only about five kilometers wide.

The three of them quickly passed through the boneyard and saw an extremely eye-catching small path into the mountains.

The trees in the forest were lush and green.

The moment he entered, he felt the surrounding light suddenly dim.

As a Nordic Shadow Scout, Iron Pole was like a fish in water in this dark forest.

The roadside was also a dense forest.

Emerald vines.

Boulders covered in moss.

Among them, Zong Shen also saw many remains of buildings.

It was indeed possible that there were relics in such places.

Zong Shen followed Colby through all the obstacles.

They walked along the path for about 10 minutes.

Colby stopped.

“Here it is, my lord.”

He pointed to where the road was covered by bushes and vines.

Zong Shen looked inside. There didn’t seem to be any traces of ruins.

Colby pulled out his double-bladed knife and pried open a bush, revealing a path barely wide enough for a man to walk.

This was something he had opened up yesterday.

When he left, he covered it up again.

“My lord, please follow me. That ruin is right ahead!”

Colby said meticulously.

He was the first to enter the small path. The warblade in his hand hacked at both sides.

He cut down those thorns and widened the path for Zong Shen.
