Nightmare Light

Chapter 256 We Charge

The thunderous footsteps grew closer and closer.

In Lin Wang's mind, the notification sounds for recyclable items were almost continuous.

A few seconds later, a figure six or seven meters tall smashed through the bricks and stones at the entrance of the tomb, stretched out its claws to support itself against the wall, and strode proudly into the sacrificial site.

He appeared before the crowd.

Dragon Head Lord.

He jingled all over, exuding a corrupt and evil aura mixed with the aroma of food.

It is about six meters tall, with a huge dragon head and a pair of dragon horns on its head, which looks like pale coral or white bone.

The dragon head is covered in black scales, and upon closer inspection, you can see countless tiny honeycomb-like holes on the scales.

Incense ash kept spilling out of the hole, falling to the ground and turning into black cockroaches that scurried into the cracks in the wall.

[Recyclable material detected...]

【detected……】

The frequency of the notification sounds was so high that Lin Wang couldn't even think straight, so he simply had the server stop the notifications.

The Dragon Head was wearing a bright yellow coat, the style of which resembled the dragon robe of an ancient emperor.

But at this moment, the dragon robe was torn and filthy, with holes all over it. Through the holes, one could see the dense iron chains on His body, which were stuck together with blood vessels.

The chains that were once used to seal Him have now become part of His body.

The Dragon Head Lord took another step forward, and the entire sacrificial site trembled violently.

He raised his left arm and pointed to Steelbone and the crowd.

People saw that his left arm was jingling with pots, pans, knives, and other utensils, like a row of mobile kitchens.

Seeing those cooking utensils, Lin Wang couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Shi Xionglue will definitely be able to become friends with this guy..."

But then, Bai Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! Those pots!"

Following her voice, everyone looked at the Dragon Head Lord's left arm.

Under the dim light, after careful observation, everyone discovered that all the stoves were a pale yellowish-white color.

"Human bones?" Dog Brother shuddered, then as if realizing something, his expression suddenly changed. "Where did you get your human bones from?!"

In fact, people had already guessed the answer without him even asking.

The Dragon Head Lord did not answer, but simply took another step forward.

Suddenly, May pointed to His left arm: "Look there! Tuoba Zhen!"

Everyone was startled. Following the direction May was pointing, they saw a soup pot swinging back and forth on Dragon Head's arm.

The handle has a section of brass in the center that connects the front and back.

The little girl's voice trembled slightly as it rang out around the crowd: "Emperor Tuoba Zhen of the North was severely wounded during his personal campaign against Wuling, losing a leg. He had the leg bone reconnected with brass..."

Everyone present (except Lin Wang) had heard this story.

So when the little girl spoke up, everyone realized the origin of the pot in the Dragon Head Grandfather's hand.

The entire imperial mausoleum contained the remains of ancient emperors and their families, along with their attendants and subordinates buried with them; the number of people must have been in the hundreds.

Could it be that they've all turned into...?

People's faces turned pale.

Dog Brother was the most agitated among them. His face, covered in a thick beard, twitched a few times, and he suddenly pulled out a pair of stilts, holding them in his hands like a pair of double swords.

"You turned all my ancestors into cooking pots and pans! I'll fight you... I'll fight you to the death!"

After saying that, he shouted.

Then, in a flash, he hid behind Steelbone, concealing his entire body, only sticking his head out to look in the direction of Dragon Head.

It's too late, but it's soon.

From the moment the Dragon Head God entered the sacrificial site to the moment people recognized the human bone on his left arm, although it seemed to contain a great deal of information, only a short minute had passed.

Grandpa Dragon Head walked up to a distance of only five or six meters from the group and Steel Bone.

This distance, for someone of His size, was only a step or two, enough to launch a surprise attack. His yellowish-brown vertical pupils swept across the faces of the crowd.

Then He extended His right claw, palm facing up.

In His palm was a piece of rice cake used for sacrifice, and in each pore of the rice cake, there was an eyeball moving.

He extended the sacrificial cake to the crowd.

The Dragon Head God, also known as the Kitchen God, finally spoke.

His voice was like muffled thunder.

"Mortal, would you like to eat sacrificial cake? You can exchange it for stove sugar."

No one answered him.

Steelbone lunged at Him.

Two enormous, ferocious monsters collided with a deafening roar.

Amidst the earth-shattering sounds of collision, a brutal and suffocating battle began.

Cyborg's fighting style is extremely violent and primitive, yet it also has strong characteristics of common martial arts.

Its body suddenly opened up, and countless jets of black liquid gushed out towards the Dragon Head Lord.

At the same time, its hundreds of arms began to form hand seals!
Then, hundreds of beams of light of various colors, mundane and chaotic, bombarded the Dragon Head Lord.

"Hmph... He actually woke up?" Lord Dragon Head snorted and raised his left hand.

A bone pot appeared to grow larger in front of Him, transforming into a massive bone pot, seven or eight meters in diameter, which blocked His view.

The black water and mundane magic splashed and crackled onto the giant cauldron of white bones, the explosions and flames instantly filling the entire space and becoming extremely blinding.

Amidst the continuous and ear-piercing explosions, a man's shout could be faintly heard.

"Don't hit my ancestors' bones!"

The continuous attacks subsided after a good ten seconds.

Amidst the smoke and dust, everyone could see that the pot only had some charred marks left on it, while Lord Longshou himself was completely unharmed.

He put away the pot, chuckled, and blew a breath at the steel skeleton.

Countless jet-black incense ash particles were blown from His mouth and flew toward Steelbone. In mid-air, the black ash particles turned into countless tiny beetles, whistling as they flew toward Steelbone.

The small beetles exploded with a crackling sound after landing on Steel Bone.

The massive, steel-bodied body trembled violently in the explosion, with black blood and bits of flesh scattering everywhere.

That enormous and ferocious body couldn't even withstand a single breath from the Dragon Head Lord before being blasted to pieces.

He was scattered into pieces of flesh on the ground.

"Heavens... is Lord Dragon Head that powerful? All the ordinary soldiers and officers of the Steel Bone Army combined couldn't even stop him from taking a single breath!" Bai Xiaoxiao held up the wooden hammer, her whole body trembling.

"No, those corrupted masters, after coalescing into monsters, their strength has definitely decreased, but hundreds of them combined together..." Dog Brother trembled, "...are at least a hundred times stronger!"

He turned to look at everyone, then at Lin Wang: "Boss, is it too late for us to run now?"

Just then, Lord Long turned his head to look at the crowd.

However, before He could speak, the pieces of flesh scattered on the ground, broken from the steel bones, suddenly moved again!
The bits of flesh twisted, wriggled, and clumped together.

Amidst the shocked and incredulous gazes of the crowd.

The pieces of flesh gathered into dozens of ragged, twisted, and bizarre monsters, but which could be vaguely identified as humanoid.

After they reorganized, they did not immediately launch an attack, but instead explored and practiced something on themselves.

A few seconds later, Dog suddenly realized something. He looked at the humanoid monsters' behavior with surprise and extremely complicated emotions: "They...are tidying up their appearance and clothing?"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized what the monsters were doing—it was just like soldiers checking each other's appearance and adjusting their uniforms!
After tidying themselves up, the monsters turned to face the Dragon Head Lord and formed a wedge formation—a formation only adopted when they were ready to fight to the death.

The last monster in the queue turned its head and waved in the direction of Lin Wang and his companions.

Then, the soldiers of the Steelbone Army turned their heads, looked at the Dragon Head Lord in front of them, and faithfully carried out their last mission.

"Steelbow Army, charge!"
