Dante's swords laughed easily.

Thales sat in the corner, silent.

"But we all know that there is no Desolate Bone Tribe there," Old Hammer helplessly shook his head and patted McGee who sat down again: "And that's the supply point we planned to go to, isn't it."

"That's right." Dean shrugged and pursed his lips at Tomdin's back.

"But he doesn't know."

There was another burst of hearty laughter in the camp.

"The problem is solved. There is no need to worry about searching those corpses anymore. To be honest, there are a few exiles among the dead sand bandits. I even recognized them as people from the Shalalun tribe. Some people have at least two brake marks on their bodies. Shi Dao has won twenty fights, and may even be a guy in the extreme realm," Dean sighed:

"It's hard to imagine what killed them."

Louisa smiled gently at him: "Don't worry, we will return tomorrow."

Thales huddled in the corner silently, looking at the team suspiciously, his eyes passing over McGee from time to time.

Louisa noticed Thales' eyes.

"Don't mind, Huaiya, don't be too surprised, I know what you are thinking," Louisa said thoughtfully: "The desolate bones have green faces and fangs, and they specialize in eating human flesh..."

Everyone's eyes turned around, making Thales immediately feel embarrassed.

Old Hammer even started laughing.

The female captain shook her head: "First of all, the so-called Desolate Bone Tribe does not exist, and we are not going to visit any tribe."

Kuaisheng showed his big white teeth: "Just kidding."

Thales reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth.

He cleared his throat and thought he should say something: "Okay, of course, but you just said, Mikey..."

Louisa smiled and said: "Yes, Mikey is a Bone Man. Have you seen the lines on his face? Those are war marks, one of the proofs of the Bone Man. Obviously, he does not eat people, and the Bone Man does not No……"

"No, not all," Mikey snorted, seeming to be rather disdainful, with a cold look:

"It's just that my tribe doesn't eat people."

Thales was stunned again.

"Fuck you, Mikey," Old Hammer grunted and took a bite of food:

"Every sentence is like telling a ghost story."

Thales still felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was in someone else's camp, but Louisa's smile made him feel relieved, but Dean stared at him thoughtfully, which made the prince quite uneasy.

He turned to the fast rope.

"So, what I heard..."

"Oh, forget what you heard," Old Hammer sighed and swallowed his food: "Crazy, violent, people cannibalizing people... People outside the desert always describe this place as you know, some people are too lazy to distinguish, There was no way to distinguish between them, so we just made haste, spread rumors, and lumped all human beings who were forced or voluntarily living in the desert into desolate bones, and even included foreign sand bandits and thugs."

Thales' brows rose and fell as he heard this.

"Of course, I doubt if any of them have ever seen the truly difficult and terrifying kind of Barren Skeleton Man."

Old Hammer hummed softly: "Even in the desert war, the real Desolate Bone Man is not something you can see just because you want to see it."

Dean spoke, and his calm voice made everyone slowly quiet down and listen to him.

"I know your confusion, Huai Ya, and I also know how rumors about the Bone Man are spread outside, but you don't have to be afraid that the desert is huge, and the Bone Man is not a simple and clear race," the bald mercenary said politely.

McGee said: "Their history is probably not much shorter than that of the desert, and their species are not much less diverse than the animals in the desert."

"Some tribes are vigilant and xenophobic, some are willing to entertain guests, some are cruel and warlike, some are friendly and peaceful, some are sparsely populated, and some are so powerful that they dare to compete with orcs, and even go to the two major

If you look at the scenery at the borders of powerful countries, they are all very different, that’s how it is.”

Thales nodded with understanding.

"But I heard that all the Desolate Bones people...all have red eyes?"

At that moment, Mikey raised his head with cold eyes.

"red?"

Facing the other party's unkind eyes, Thales' heart moved.

Did he say the wrong thing?

"Many soldiers heard this too," Dean said with a smile, "Obviously, they have never encountered real Bone Man or not encountered many of them."

But this time, McGee interrupted.

"No, red-eyed skeletons do exist."

The Desolate Skeleton Man raised his head, the black lines on his face looming in the firelight, and faced Thales: "Have you seen it?"

The tone is aggressive.

Thales scratched his head.

"I've met... I've met people who have heard of them," Thales hesitated for a moment: "Just like you."

Mikey looked at Thales without moving his eyes for a long time.

"Only a small number of Desolate Bones people have eyes like that," he said slowly, and even the other mercenaries were listening to him carefully: "They are the descendants of the ancestors. In your words, they are probably the descendants of the Desolate Bones.

of nobility.”

The quick rope appeared again: "Are you sure you're not an albino?"

Old Hammer slapped him from behind, causing Kuaisheng to scream.

"Descendant of the ancestor?" Thales ignored the fast rope and asked doubtfully.

Mikey narrowed his eyes and answered his doubts: "Red Eyes... It is said that they are the origin of the Desolate Bones. They are the bloodline left by the first generation of Desolate Bones who settled in the desert. They will receive preferential treatment no matter which tribe they belong to. They are born with

Tribal sacrifice.”

Therefore, Thales frowned slightly in his heart: The secret cadre with red eyes, Raphael Lindbergh... is the so-called "descendant of the ancestor"?

The origin of the Bone Man?

Quick Rope stepped in at this moment: "But what I heard is that those red eyes are proof that the Bone Man made a deal with the devil?"

Mikey frowned.

"Devil?" Thales was surprised again.

"Yes, I heard what the old sailor said about the demons living underground." Kuaisheng raised his hands and said ferociously: "Evil, terrifying, insidious, and chaotic demons are always thinking about them.

Come and cause trouble on the ground.”

Quick Rope said: "According to legend, the Desolate Bones were a race abandoned by God, so they made a deal with the devil in hell, the enemy of God, and became the devil's servants on earth. They gained the power to stay in the land of death and became the great giants.

The most frightening existence in the desert next to the orcs... So, Huaiya, this world is very dangerous. As the saying goes, fate is impermanent. We must use appropriate methods to cherish our lives and make them valuable.

Value, for example..."

Thales curled up the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, knowing what the other person was going to say.

Fortunately, before the fast rope could continue, Old Hammer slapped his face into the sand with his words.

"Come on, the rumors stop with the wise. Almost all the Barren Skeletons worship the Desert God. They even built sacred altars and influenced a large number of outsiders. They have nothing to do with the devil.

Just ask Mikey." Old Hammer said silently.

McGee shrugged.

Kuaisheng raised his head unconvinced and spat out a mouthful of sand: "How do you know? Have you seen it?"

"how could I know?"

Old Hammer put down the food and smiled: "Didn't I tell you, I am a star person. I was born in the Western Wilderness Territory, right in the Heroic Soul Castle."

"So, I have indeed seen it, and I have seen a lot of it."

Thales raised his eyebrows. It had been too long since he had heard these familiar names of stars and places.

"When I was young, I was a soldier of the Falkenhaus family. During the Year of Blood, I was recruited to guard the Blade Tooth Sand Dunes. During the Desert War, I also followed the king's army into the desert and fought in the Battle of the Altar.

"Hey, that was a great battle," Old Hammer showed a nostalgic look: "But since then, I have discovered that I can only swing a hammer, but I can't support my family with just farming and the meager rewards from recruiting soldiers. I think

I used to enlist in the royal family's standing army, and I heard that their salaries were higher."

Quick Rope blinked in surprise.

Thales also looked at her blankly.

This bearded uncle... is actually a veteran of the stars...

"But fate played a trick on me. In the end, I came to work as a mercenary."

The old hammer turned his head and smiled: "Then he became brothers with a desolate skeleton man."

"I'm not familiar with you." Mikey beside him replied abruptly.

"Who said that!" Old Hammer laughed loudly, hugged McGee fiercely, strangled his neck with his elbow, and shook him back and forth: "I am the benefactor who saved your life!"

"Damn it... let go!" Mikey looked ugly, as if he had eaten shit, but he was not angry or having an attack, he was just struggling for life.
