Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping suppressed the fear and the unspeakable feeling of palpitations in his heart, and carefully looked at this ominous creature.

The ominous creature had a silver-white skull covered with fine cracks on the left side of its face. A golden eyeball was suspended in the empty eye socket. Its translucent hair actually emitted a hint of fairy charm.

This appearance is very similar to the skeletons of the heavenly soldiers and generals he had encountered in the ruins of Nantianmen before.

But the right half of this ominous creature's head.

It was completely different from the skeleton of the heavenly soldiers he had seen that year.

On the right side of his head was a bulging dark red tumor, with veins and blood vessels all over its surface.

Its eyeball looks more like a blood-colored spiritual crystal.

When its blood-red crystal-like pupils contracted, red smoke flowed out from them.

Its mouth and jaw were completely shattered, replaced by a ball of black mist emitting a faint glow.

Hundreds of fangs were vaguely visible from the black fog.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping murmured:

"Why is the right half of this ominous creature's head so similar to the foreign evil demon I saw on Lingjiu Peak?"

As he was wondering about this, his eyes fell on the monster's torso.

All I could see was the torso of the monster.

It was almost identical to the skeleton of the heavenly soldier he had seen in the ruins of Nantianmen that year. The only difference was that its ribs had turned charred black, and a red demon eye with a diameter of three feet was suspended in the chest.

Looking closely, there were nine blood-red whirlpools in the pupil of this demon eye.

Bloody mist kept flying out from the nine bloody whirlpools, wrapping the body of the ominous creature bit by bit.

Obviously, this was the red light they had seen before.

At this moment, the ominous creature held the still breathing Master Xuan Lei in one hand and raised him high with the other hand.

It was discovered that the tentacles appeared from the end of the fairy boat again, piercing straight into the dark space behind.

Just as Xu Taiping was looking surprised, the Heavenly Hunter Great Sage, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:

"It seems that the Heaven Escape Talisman can also resist the methods of these foul bones."

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he asked:

"Mr. Ding, is this ominous creature called the Filthy Bone?"

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded gently and said:

"This filthy bone was created when the evil god from outer space possessed a chaotic monster and merged with the bones of an immortal."

Xu Taiping said in astonishment:

"Doesn't that mean that this filthy bone possesses the power of the Evil God from outer space, the Chaos Monster, and the remains of the Immortal?"

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded and then explained:

"In fact, even if these three things are fused together two by two, they can only survive for half an hour. Unless they are fused together at the same time, this terrible foul bone will be produced."

At this time, Mo Qingzhu also turned pale and said:

“I heard that even the lowest-grade Chaos Monster, as long as it fuses with the Evil God from Outer Space and the remains of an Immortal to form a filthy skeleton, its killing power will not be weaker than that of a Heart-level Monster.”

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded, then frowned and said:

"And the filthy bones that are a fusion of the mind and the evil barrier level chaos monster are even close to the fighting power of the celestial level Dao erosion monster."

Having said this, the Great Sage Tianshu took a deep breath and said:

"The most terrifying thing is that, unlike the Chaos Monsters, these filthy bones have an almost insane desire for the flesh and blood of monks. After tasting the flesh and blood of monks, they will try their best to find human monks everywhere."

As he was speaking, a series of "crunching" sounds suddenly came from the front.

Everyone looked up.

I saw that the filthy skeleton was actually eating the Venerable Xuan Lei alive.

As for the Xuan Lei Master, he seemed to know that the others were casting the Sky Escape Talisman. While enduring the severe pain of being eaten alive, he reminded them again:

"Don't worry, this filthy bone...can't break your Sky Escape Talisman, and it also has no intelligence, it only knows how to kill."

"Also, after it eats me, it will take some time for it to digest my flesh and blood and fuse with my soul."

"So...so I must...I must find a place to hide."

"Then... uh... then... you can... you can leave!"

After hearing this and looking at the miserable state of Venerable Xuan Lei, Xu Taiping took a deep breath, then turned to look at the Great Sage Tianshou standing beside him and said:

"Mr. Ding, is that so?"

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded and said:

"Indeed."

He added:

"And the reason why he asked us to leave immediately and inform the cultivation world to seal off the Ziwei Star Region is also because of this."

"Because of this filthy bone, if it cannot eat the flesh and blood of monks for a long time, its combat power will gradually decrease."

"Finally, he fell into a deep sleep."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly, and once again looked at the tragic scene in front of him with a complicated expression, and then asked the Great Sage Tianshu without turning his head:

"Mr. Ding, can you save him?"

The Great Sage Tianju was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he smiled and asked without turning his head:

"Why do you want to save him?"

Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"We need more information before we can decide whether to continue to the Yaochi Holy Land."

As he spoke, he touched the lotus pupil of his left eye and continued:

"I have a magical power. As long as I can touch the Xuan Lei Master, even if it is his corpse, I will know what is happening in Kaiyuan Heaven at this moment."

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded and said:

“That’s a good reason.”

As he spoke, amidst the sound of bones breaking, the Xuan Lei Zun spoke again:

"Everyone, don't forget what I said before. We must let the cultivation world block this Ziwei star field."

"As long as they are sealed for more than a hundred years, these... these... uh... these filthy bones will all fall into a deep sleep!"

"Also...Also...Also, I might...maybe I will ask you for help because I am afraid of life and death..."

"But...but please don't be soft-hearted! Don't be soft-hearted! If...if that happens...I will be the sinner of the human race's cultivation world!"

Listening to the somewhat incoherent words of Venerable Xuan Lei, Great Sage Tianshu suddenly asked Xu Taiping again without turning his head:

"Is there a second reason?"

Xu Taiping took a deep breath, then his eyes shone as he said:

“Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow and wind!”

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Tianshu suddenly grinned and laughed, then looked intently at Venerable Xuanlei who was being eaten alive and said:

"This reason is better than the previous one!"
