Chapter 54: The Screaming Screaming Spirit

He brought Antonio and other skeletons and Steel Teeth to the center of the territory. He saw a large number of skeletons around the crypt at the underground fortress, and there was no noise or quarrel, and he didn't know what he was looking at. While ambushing Steel Teeth and waiting for zombies, Gris only brought more than a hundred skeletons over, and the remaining more than six hundred skeletons were still digging holes in the crypt. Why are they all running to the exit now?

What happened? Gris' soul tightened and he immediately became alert. However, looking at the performance of the skeletons, it did not seem like they were dangerous.

An onlooker was happening at the exit of the crypt. Hundreds of skeletons were surrounding a white bone skeleton. The soul of the white bone skeleton kept chirping, as if telling something. Unfortunately, its vocabulary was too scarce and it was not enough to clearly state something.

But this was enough to surprise Gris. It was already a relatively complicated behavior to state things themselves, and with the intelligence of these skeletons, it should not be enough to perform such behavior.

But this skeleton is really saying something. Although the lack of vocabulary makes it express its meaning clearly, the skeleton's intelligence is obviously beyond its proper level.

In fact, this is not an individual phenomenon. Over the past period of time, Gris often felt that the intelligence level of the same kind in the territory seemed to be improving, but this has always been his feeling and there is no way to compare it. It was not until now that the skeleton who was stating things made Gris confirm that the intelligence level of the same kind in the territory was really improving.

Why does this happen? If it is just an individual phenomenon, it can also be explained by reasons such as soul mass, but this overall change is obviously caused by some reason.

The skeletons in the entire territory are engaged in the excavation of crypts. Can labor improve the intelligence of skeletons? This is not surprising. Gris' laboratory read a book about the origin of human beings. There is a view that human labor has led to the growth of human wisdom. Although this view is scoffed by the mainstream academic community, it also talks about a possibility. If human intelligence can be improved in labor, then skeletons have this possibility.

Another reason is that there is something weird about the underground fortress, which will lead to intelligence improvement after staying in it for a long time. However, when Gris stays in it, he is not shorter than other skeletons. Why can't he feel that his intelligence has changed?

It was hard to figure it out, but the only thing that is certain is that the intelligence of the same kind of territory has really increased, probably from the level of mental retardation to the level of human babies.

From this skeleton's statement, Gris heard the most words "hole", "fall out" and "split". Could it be that a skeleton fell into a hole and fell apart?

Where can underground fortresses come from a hole that can break people apart? Although the project during this period has allowed the underground fortress to continue to extend downward, the downward passages have been made with steps and slopes, and they can't fall down even if they want to.

"What's going on?" Gris pushed away the crowd and walked to the skeleton and asked.

"Hole", "fall", "disperse", "deep", "noisy". The skeleton repeated these words again and again. Gris took a lot of effort to understand that a skeleton should have fallen into a hole and fell apart. The hole was very deep and noisy.

But this is just Gris' guess. The real situation has to be seen with your own eyes. Where did the hole come from this underground fortress?

In order to prevent accidents, Gris gathered the strongest lineup he could produce, including the bone dragon Su Coral, Lich Pulson, Antonio and the newly joined Steel Fang, and the more than 100 thick and thick zombies under Steel Fang. They can block them for a longer time when they encounter danger. At the same time, they can remove some of the skeletons and put them in the control part of the mechanism of the underground fortress. If they encounter danger, they will quickly retreat and use these mechanisms to defend.

The entrance to the underground fortress is in the middle of the two hills in the center of the territory, but the hill is only twenty or thirty meters above the ground and there is no large room for expansion. Therefore, except for the defensive slope at the entrance, the entire fortress continues to extend downward, and the main passage has already penetrated more than 100 meters deep into the ground. On this basis, Gris also kept digging downward. Anyway, the main project has almost been completed, and the extra labor force is idle, and the amount of it can be dug is as much as possible.

Gris' real idea was to expand the fort into a dungeon, but this goal was too far away. Gris hoped most was to find a way to return to the human world as soon as possible. He had no time to spend this time, so he only invested those idle labor force in.

And now, these skeletons who were desperately digging holes seemed to have dug through the ground. This was the first thought that Gris thought of the unfathomable pit at first sight.

The entire pit is about four or five meters in diameter, extending irregularly to the depths of the ground that cannot be seen by the eyes. You must know that undead creatures use their souls to observe the outside world. Their sight distance is much further than that of humans' naked eyes, and they are not affected by darkness. Unless it is particularly strong, they cannot see things. Even Gris cannot see the end of the pit with his naked eyes. You can imagine how deep the pit is.

No one knows how thick the strata of the Death World is. At least Gris doesn't know. If he really wants to dig it through, then where will this pit lead to?

Because the pit was extended obliquely, and the distance between the inclined surface of the pit wall was about twenty or thirty meters. A skeleton fell on the pit wall below, and the whole body was scattered into countless pieces. Some bones didn't even know where they were bounced, leaving only one head and the jaw bones opened and closed.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew out from the depths of the pit, shaking out a sharp howling sound.

Gris' heart moved and immediately understood what the skeleton meant. In addition to the sharp sound of the wind, the shaved, there was also a chaotic soul roaring inside.
