Chapter 1257: Ruins
The bodies of dozens of soldiers fell to the ground as Su Xiao walked out of the bear's den.
This was not the first such case.
By repeatedly retreating further and further, Su Xiao was of course not only running for his life, but also planning further escape routes. Facing an undead army head-on was of no use. Although it was possible to knock out treasure chests from the undead, it was too difficult to pick them up in the chaotic battlefield.
Su Xiao didn't really get any benefits for killing all these soldiers, and there was no point in making senseless murders, and very risky ones at that.
After putting the corpses in the den, Su Xiao began to clean up the blood. In order for his plan to succeed, he didn't have to let the undead come out on him ahead of time.
After wiping out all traces, Su Xiao reached the nearest stream in the shortest amount of time. Approximately a thousand corpses of soldiers were neatly placed around this stream. It was precisely because of them that his hand was in a bad state right now, as he had to use ring break more than ten times in a row to eliminate them.
All of these corpses were neatly stacked in several piles. The undead army had passed through here and placed the corpses in neat piles. Of course, many people wanted to bury their comrades, but at the moment, they had to focus on finding Su Xiao, otherwise they would all have died in vain.
After sheathing Dragon Flash, Su Xiao buried himself in the pile of corpses.
Taking out a remote from his inventory, he pulled out an antenna and pressed a button.
However, nothing happened, as the remote couldn't pick up the signal in any way. After lightly tapping it a couple of times, Su Xiao saw the remote pick up the signal for a couple of moments, only to lose it immediately.
A minute later, nothing happened.
Su Xiao pressed the button again and again, trying to catch the signal...
A few seconds later, a signal flare was launched in the sky three kilometers away from the pile of corpses.
After realizing that the device had worked properly, Su Xiao held his breath with all his might and began to weaken his vital signs.
*Knock, knock, knock ... knock...*
Su Xiao's heartbeat quickly slowed down and soon his heart was beating about 5-10 times per minute, which was enough for his organs to function.
Right now, he looked like a very ordinary corpse, of which there were many, and given the amount of dirt and blood on his body, not to mention the color of his face, it was almost impossible to distinguish him from a real dead person.
After about a few minutes, soldiers began to rush past the pile of corpses, and the commander brought up the rear, who suddenly looked at the piles of corpses.
All of these corpses were piled up in a unique way for the undead, mostly trying not to mix the bodies of their comrades with the bodies of humans.
After peering at the piles of corpses, the commander signaled a dozen soldiers to check the piles just in case.
These dozen soldiers immediately rushed to the corpses. Although they understood that they were all their comrades in the past, in a war, everyone could use everything that could be used to achieve victory.
With their weapons, they began to pierce through the piles of corpses. They could have checked one body after another, of course, but they didn't have that much time.
Su Xiao squeezed his intuition to half a meter and soon felt like a long sword was about to pierce through his chest.
His intuition immediately told him exactly where this strike would go, so he relaxed his body and in the next second, the blade pierced through his chest, passing just five centimeters from his heart.
Since this attack wasn't fatal, he did his best to make sure that his opponent didn't feel anything strange.
The soldier with the long sword in his hands frowned. He felt that his sword had finally pierced through something rather hard, something that couldn't be found in this pile of corpses, so he struck again.
The blade passed through Su Xiao's armpit and sank into the arm of the corpse below him.
The soldier drew his longsword, nodded, and jumped down from the pile of corpses. There was nothing unusual about this pile. Before leaving, he cut off a lock of his hair and left it on this pile.
Among the undead, such a gesture was a tribute to fallen comrades.
Right now, for the undead and Su Xiao, there was no concept of good and evil. The two sides were at war, so there was nothing right or wrong about their actions.
When that soldier left, Su Xiao was left lying among the corpses.
He needed to wait a little longer.
A few minutes later, a large group of undead appeared not far from the pile of corpses. Seeing the hair near these piles, they continued marching forward, leaving a few soldiers behind.
They also doused the piles with flammable liquid and set them on fire..
The barrier immediately enveloped Su Xiao, but he still didn't move.
Somewhere in the distance, there was a sudden sharp pop, the unique pop of a signal flare.
Su Xiao in the pile of corpses opened his eyes and immediately crawled out.
The first thing he did was dive into the stream, which immediately turned the water red.
After getting out of the water, he looked up at the sky and saw a few flashes.
The undead had reached the trap he had set.
After washing the blood off his face, Su Xiao felt much better.
Most of the undead had been diverted, so he could now safely move towards the ruins, but before that, he wanted to make a detour through the mountains, which would confuse the undead a bit.
The undead commanders clearly thought that Su Xiao wanted to reach the Dark Moon Swamp, so they set up many observation posts on Su Xiao's movement vector. If he continued to move towards the swamps directly, he would eventually be discovered and surrounded, but this time surrounded by elite undead troops that would definitely kill him.
But by making a detour, he would create the illusion that his target wasn't the Dark Moon Swamp at all, and when they came to that conclusion, the trap set in the undead capital would trigger, making them think that he had attacked their capital.
As for where this trap came from in the first place, Bubtney was responsible for setting it up.
Their plan was simple. Su Xiao is attracted to the undead, which will allow Bubtni and Amu to enter the swamps and then the capital, and they will find the exact location of the ruins. When they found them, they would prepare a trap and activate it so that the undead's attention would shift to their capital, at which point Su Xiao would use the window that had formed to enter the Law Shadow Ruins.
Given Bubtni's skills, they wouldn't have been able to find him, but Amu was left to soak in the swamp.
Su Xiao started walking towards the mountains. Along the way, he encountered several groups of undead, and the last of them were already heading towards the swamps.
The undead leaders couldn't tell when Su Xiao had managed to cross the plains and reach the swamps, but they reacted almost immediately.
Su Xiao himself was still on the plain at this moment.
