In Zong Shen's opinion, the Lion Skeleton Knight may be weaker than the contemporary fifth-level human knight.

But it won't be too weak.

This kind of fighting power is enough to be tough.

It's easy to deal with them if the number is small, but if the number is large, Zong Shen and the others may not be able to defeat them.

In addition, as undead creatures, their greatest advantage is not reflected in pure combat power.

The reason why natural disasters of the undead were able to sweep across the continent in the past was due to the characteristics of the undead.

They are not afraid of life and death, have no emotions, no sense of pain, and a high degree of execution. They will never be merciful when killing. No matter how fierce the enemy's offensive is, they cannot shake them.

As long as there are high-level undead with the ability to command, once these monsters get together, it will be a real natural disaster.

These two problems are mixed together and become a big problem.

"How to kill the Skeleton Knight without alerting the fishmen..."

"We must also ensure the safety of subsequent excavations."

"Oh, it's really difficult!"

Zong Shen curled his lips and suddenly felt that this adventure trip was still very difficult.

After much deliberation, there is no reliable solution.

At least based on the known information, this operation is definitely very difficult.

Fortunately, he still had a few hours to study further.

Baron Bezos and the others still have at least five hours to arrive.

This period of time is the best opportunity to make preliminary preparations.

The strategy module can provide very detailed details, but the specific situation requires your own observation.

As the saying goes, a sight is better than a hundred hearings, and it can also be applied here.

At that moment, Zong Shen was ready to go down the mountain to investigate.

The status of the ruins must be determined first before the next action can be considered.

Although the fishmen closely monitor this place, they will not move at the foot of the mountain.

Maybe you can consider luring those lion skeleton knights to the fishmen first.

Zong Shen crossed his legs and sat on the edge of the cliff, thinking quietly.

The breeze blew from north to south, allowing him to face the current problem more calmly.

Vereesa and the others moved freely on the cliff, observing the situation on the top of the mountain and keeping alert.

Madeline, who had advanced to the fourth level Strike Ranger, stood beside Zong Shen, looking at the lake in trance.

She has the blessing of [Eagle Eye]. Compared with ordinary people, her eyesight is incredible, but she cannot clearly see the situation by the lake.

Talking about the field of view in front of the distance is just a joke.

Zong Shen stopped thinking for a moment, turned his head and saw Madeleine standing next to him, and handed her the [Single Telescope].

"Madeline, use a telescope to take a look."

"I think with your eyesight, you should be able to see more clearly."

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Madeline nodded and reached out to take the telescope.

The size of this thing is not small, it is heavy in the hand.

Madeleine took a few steps back and then put the telescope lens in front of her right eye.

During this period, she kept moving left or right, adjusting the observation position.

After a long while, Madeleine put down the telescope and pointed to the north.

"My lord, there is a stone tower on the north shore of this lake."

"It looks like an altar."

"In addition, there are more straw huts on the north bank than on the east and west banks."

"There are also some strange buildings like big pools."

Madeline reported what she saw to Zong Shen.

After listening to her report, Zong Shen didn't say much.

He reached out to take the telescope and nodded casually.

"I see."

"You guys wait for me on the top of the mountain."

"I'll go check on the situation alone."

Zong Shen put the telescope into the storage compartment and jumped off the cliff without looking back.

The moment he fell, he activated the levitation technique.

The light cyan wind spirit energy surrounded him, making his body as light as a feather.

Just as Madeline wanted to say something, Zong Shen disappeared.

This way of leaving is indeed a bit out of the ordinary!

The cliff has a drop of five to six hundred meters, and going down is the mountainside with dense trees.

Zong Shen used the levitation technique to control his body and landed smoothly in the dense forest on the mountainside.

He wanted to serve as a scout himself to explore the condition of the ruins.

If necessary, you might have to use [Shapeshifter's Illusive Mask (Purple)] or [Transformation Potion (Blue)] to disguise yourself as a shallow-water fishman and sneak into the Riptide Tribe to see what's going on.

But he is a human after all, and if he wants to transform into a fish-man, the [Transformation Potion] is probably not up to par.

You probably need to use [The Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter (Purple)].

No matter what, he needs to come to the foot of the mountain first.

Zong Shen landed in the mountain forest and took a look at the surrounding situation.

I didn't find anything suspicious, so I guess the ruins are not here yet.

"Please guide me to the location of the ruins!"

He used his mind to convey a request to the strategy module.

He received a response almost instantly, and an eye-catching gold-labeled guide appeared in front of Zong Shen.

After having a clear goal, Zong Shen rose into the air again and flew towards the foot of the mountain.

Flying is definitely faster than walking.

After leaving the dense forest on the mountainside, the view below suddenly became clear.

It is an open land extending on a slope, with no plants or gravel, only large areas of dark, soft land.

It is about two kilometers away from the lake in a straight line.

Of course, the straight-line distance here refers to the south bank.

It is at least five or six kilometers away from the fishman outposts on the east and west coasts.

When looking down from the top of the mountain, the distance of a few kilometers is nothing.

But when he stood at the foot of the mountain, these distances should be safe enough.

Murlocs are not birds of prey with incredibly good eyesight.

As long as there isn't much movement at the ruins site, it shouldn't attract the attention of the murlocs.

However, in this case, the [Magic Drilling Machine] is not suitable for use.

After all, as a magic machine, it will make obvious noise whether it is driving or starting the drill to start digging.

In addition, it is impossible to mobilize a large number of manpower to dig manually at the foot of the mountain.

If there were only a dozen or so people, it wouldn't matter if they deliberately hid their bodies.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But if dozens of people were digging at the foot of the mountain in a big way, it would also attract the attention of the fishmen.

Zong Shen slowly flew towards the foot of the mountain while thinking about countermeasures.

There is never a best-of-both-worlds solution.

Levitation is much faster than walking.

Three or four minutes later, Zong Shen had already landed at the foot of the mountain.

When he landed, he felt that the soil under his feet was extremely soft.

Even after the effect of the levitation technique disappeared, his own weight alone left obvious footprints on the ground. In addition, there were many horse hoof marks nearby.

These marks are very deep, but smaller than the hoof marks of prairie horses, which are obviously consistent with the characteristics of undead bone horses without flesh and blood.
