Mortal Bones

“Ding… Elder Ding! Fellow Daoist Tai… Fellow Daoist Taiping! Isn’t this a bit too risky? That’s… that’s… that’s… that’s… that’s filthy bones!”

Upon hearing that Xu Taiping and Tianshu Dasheng wanted to hunt down the evil bone, Mo Qingzhu became very worried and even started to stutter again.

It seems that he stutters when he is nervous.

Xu Taiping looked at Mo Qingzhu and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Qingzhu, you can just stay on the immortal boat for a while. If anything happens, please bring the last words of Venerable Xuanlei back to the cultivation world."

Mo Qingzhu said nervously:

"Then...then...then what about you and Ding...Old Ding?"

At this time, Tianshu Great Sage smiled and patted Mo Qingzhu on the shoulder and said:

"Life and death are determined by fate."

As he spoke, he walked straight past Mo Qingzhu and headed towards the bow.

At this time, Xu Taiping also patted Mo Qingzhu on the shoulder and said:

"I'll leave the message to you."

As he spoke, he quickly walked to the bow and stood side by side with the Great Sage Tianshou.

Mo Qingzhu opened and closed his mouth several times, then murmured in a low voice:

"You...you...why aren't you afraid of death?"

Although Xu Taiping, who was standing at the bow, heard what Mo Qingzhu said, he did not answer. Instead, he stared at the filthy bones in the distance without blinking.

The same is true for the Great Sage Tianshou.

Obviously, for these two warriors, this question is not worth answering.

At this time, seeing that one of the thighs of the Xuan Lei Master had been completely eaten by the horrible-looking filthy bones, Xu Taiping finally asked the Tianshu Great Sage:

"Great Sage, can you make your move now?"

The Great Sage Tianshou shook his head and said:

"It's not the right time yet."

He explained:

"When the filthy bones first start to eat, they will be very alert and will notice any slight movement."

Xu Taiping frowned and said:

"Then when is the best time to take action?"

The Great Sage Tianshu looked up at the tentacles that were like a large net, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius, and then said with a stern look in his eyes:

"When the Filthy Bones enter the second stage of eating, they will be immersed in the pleasure of gluttony. At this time, they will not only speed up their eating, but also retract the Filthy Bones' power and begin to fully digest the flesh and blood they have devoured."

After hearing this explanation, Xu Taiping nodded with a vague look on his face:

"That is to say, as long as that filthy skeleton retracts these tentacles, we can take action."

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded gently without even turning his head.

Xu Taiping was a little curious and asked:

"Great Sage, you seem to be very familiar with this filthy bone?"

The Great Sage Tianshu took a deep breath and said with a serious expression:

"Thousands of years ago, a disaster of foul bones broke out in the Chaos Dead Zone. At that time, I was one of the main forces that surrounded and suppressed that batch of foul bones."

"It is the junior who is rude."

The Great Sage Tianshou shook his head with a gloomy look.

Soon, he said seriously:

"Xu Taiping, when fighting against the Filthy Bone, be sure not to be contaminated by the chaotic blood on his body. Once contaminated, you will gradually become a puppet with your own consciousness, but your body and even your soul will be controlled by it."

"This is actually one of the three great powers of the Filthy Bone, called the Blood Erosion Power."

Xu Taiping nodded and took note of it carefully.

At this time, the Great Sage Tianshu continued:

"In addition to the power of blood erosion, this filthy bone also possesses all the magical powers of the immortal skeleton it merged with, as well as the magical power of the alien evil god it merged with."

"Also, there is one more thing."

"That is, as long as this filthy skeleton is not completely purified, or the demon eye in its chest is not destroyed."

"Even if my body is shattered, I will be reborn with the help of the chaotic energy of this world."

Xu Taiping immediately took a deep breath and nodded:

"I'll take note of this, junior."

Judging from what the Great Sage Tianshu said, this filthy bone almost possesses all the strengths of the remains of immortals, chaotic monsters, and evil gods from outer space.

“Swoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!…”

At this time, as the filthy bones began to gnaw on the second thigh of Venerable Xuan Lei, the tentacles that flew out from its spine began to be retracted one by one.

At the same time, the speed at which it devoured the flesh and blood of Venerable Xuan Lei became faster and faster.

In just a few breaths, half of the thigh was eaten away.

At this time, the Xuan Lei Master seemed to sense that his death was approaching. He once again suppressed the severe pain of his body and soul being eaten away, and once again reminded loudly:

"My fellow Taoists, if I cannot help asking you for help, please do not respond no matter what!"

After saying this, Reverend Xuan Lei could no longer suppress the excruciating pain of having his flesh, blood, and soul eaten by the foul bone, and he screamed with a distorted face.

Hearing the screams, Xu Taiping said with a sad heart:

“Even an old and famous cultivator like Venerable Xuan Lei couldn’t stand it. It seems that the pain of the filthy bones gnawing at the flesh, blood and soul is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.”

At this time, the Great Sage Tianshu, who also had a frown on his face, suddenly spoke:

"Taiping, for safety's sake, you'd better use a knife or some magic next time."

"I just wanted to see how good your swordsmanship is."

Xu Taiping nodded immediately and said:

"clear."

After hearing Xu Taiping's response, the Great Sage Tianshu continued:

"Also, don't rush to attack for a while. Wait until I force that filthy bone to exert its full strength, then attack the magic eye on the chest of the Great Sage Tianshu."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned and said:

"Great Sage, can you go alone?"

If it was the Great Sage Tianshu in his prime, Xu Taiping would not have to worry. But at this moment, the Great Sage left a clone in Jinzun Tower to help Hanjian Tianjun avoid the disaster of the new moon, and now he can only exert 50% of his combat power.

The Great Sage Tianshou grinned and said:

"You don't have to worry about it, old man."

He turned around and looked at Xu Taiping:

"As for you, don't underestimate that demon eye. It is the power of the evil god from outside the domain. When you attack, it will most likely attack you with the power of the evil god from outside the domain."

Xu Taiping nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Great Sage. If I can't do such a small thing well, I won't be qualified to continue exploring the Yaochi Holy Land."

The Great Sage Tianju smiled cheerfully and said:

"As long as you understand!"

While the two were talking, the two thighs of Venerable Xuan Lei had been completely eaten by the filthy beast.

It can be seen that the evil eye on the chest of the evil skeleton has turned blood red.

A blood mist swirled around his body.

It was like a flame, rising up continuously with him as the center.

An almost crazy aura then covered the world.

However, although Venerable Xuan Lei was in great pain at this moment, he did not ask them for help as he had said before.

“Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

At this moment, the last dozen or so remaining tentacles were also retracted.

Then, the Great Sage Tianshu said to Xu Taiping without turning his head:

“Watch your timing!”
