"Really!" Lingxi exclaimed anxiously, and she even stretched out a section of her sleeve to show Yan Qing.
"Master, look what they did! Luckily I ran fast, or I really wouldn't have been able to beat them!"
On Lingxi's left arm, there were obvious signs of burning or corrosion, and on her forearm, there was a small wound from a claw, from which dark red blood was flowing.
Yan Qing felt sorry for her. This was only because she ran fast; she didn't even want to think about what would happen if she ran slower.
Are these skeletons really alive? Now it was Yan Qing and Yue Qi's turn to look at each other in bewilderment. Living skeletons, could they be protecting something?
Yue Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Lingxi, have you seen those living skeletons? Is there anything special about them?"
“This—” Lingxi was lost in her memories, “When I first went down there, all the skeletons were dead. But as I got closer to that place, suddenly a few skeletons came to life.”
"Oh, right, I remember now!"
Lingxi became excited. "Those dead skeletons were covered in mud, as if they were welded to the inside. Only that small area of skeleton was completely clean."
"Their posture was very strange. They were all kneeling with their faces inward and their hands outstretched forward. They formed a circle and covered an area of about this size."
Lingxi gestured with her hand to indicate that the space supported by the skeleton was about half a meter square, but the space was actually quite small.
"Oh, right, there's also a piece of white cloth in there, the cloud grass cloth that the nameless owner mentioned."
With that in mind, Yan Qing could easily see that the Sun family members had probably been eyeing this thing for a long time.
The reason they deliberately rested here was simply to let others find it for them.
Yan Qing made up her mind; this time, she was determined not to meddle in other people's business.
Unfortunately, some people have completely different ideas from hers.
Monk Yuanhui was meditating quietly when suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Then, his eyes suddenly turned a golden color and began scanning the ground.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Wen Jiajia's bottom.
Wen Jiajia felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze. "What do you mean by this? I didn't do anything to you!"
"Benefactor Wen, please move to another place," Yuanhui said, addressing Sun Qiang directly.
“Benefactor Sun, what you are looking for is right there.”
Sun Qiang stopped pretending to rest. He opened his eyes, his mind perfectly clear, and his lips parted slightly.
"In that case, let's get started."
At his command, all the Sun family members scrambled to their feet and began digging tunnels.
Yuan Hui pointed out the exact location, and before long, the group unearthed the first skeleton.
The skeleton was covered in black mud, almost completely corroded. A disciple of the Sun family gently poked at it with a Luoyang shovel, and the entire skeleton shattered.
—It's practically as fragile as tofu.
Yuanhui kept turning the prayer beads in her hand and chanting some unknown scripture without stopping from the beginning.
The Sun family members dug down several more meters and unearthed two more equally fragile skeletons. Just as they were about to continue digging, they couldn't move any further.
We've run into a tough opponent!
Lingxi quietly explained to her from the side, "These people have hit the head of that white skeleton. I can see it, one of the white skeletons is about to make a move."
At that moment, a cry of alarm rang out, "What is that!" A disciple of the Sun family lost his footing and was dragged down by a white skeleton that suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Help, help—ah!—!!!"
The incident happened in the blink of an eye; the Sun family disciple only uttered a few words before falling silent again.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden scene. As if they had planned it together, they quickly retreated a few meters away, and no one took another step forward.
Suddenly, a small stream of blood gushed up from the large hole, which was several tens of centimeters in diameter, and churned and throbbed as if it were boiling.
"Ugh—" Wen Jiajia couldn't hold it in and vomited.
Yan Qing also felt a little nauseous. This wasn't the first time she had seen a dead person, but it was the first time someone had died so suddenly and silently.
Especially with this kind of death, a living person falls in and quickly turns into a bag of blood. Who would dare to try it? Even ten lives wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap.
Yan Qing looked at Lingxi's arm. Fortunately, she had plenty of spirit coins. Lingxi immediately bought suitable medicine on the online store "Sanglingling" and had almost recovered in a short while.
She was curious, so she asked her, "What exactly did that white skeleton use to hurt you?"
Lingxi was too busy escaping to remember anything, except that "although the white skeletons were all pure white, there was a hazy yellow glow on their claws. I didn't have time to see what it was."
Yue Qi pondered for a moment, then immediately instructed the nameless swordsman beside him.
"Go, take some medicine and go explore down there."
“I’ll go too!” Lingxi volunteered again, and Yan Qing glanced at the nameless knight but did not refuse.
Although the eerie nature stems from obsession, it still possesses its own emotions. Lingxi clearly has a strong liking for this nameless knight-errant; she can tell that.
Forget it, let her be. Yan Qing generously provided her with a complete set of equipment, and this girl has no shortage of healing items, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Lingxi followed Wuming down, remaining invisible. Only Yan Qing and Yue Qi could see her.
This time she was noticeably more vigilant, and she immediately took out the mother-and-child chain blade. This was a top-tier magic weapon worth fifty million spirit coins, and it was Lingxi's greatest source of confidence.
The others, as if they had all agreed beforehand, collectively ignored the nameless knight as he went down.
As for Lingxi behind him, even the monk Yuanhui's divine eye failed to detect her.
Not long after the two went down, the sound of fierce fighting immediately rang out at the cave entrance.
The nameless swordsman's prowess was evident from the longsword on his back. With the help of the Spirit Rhinoceros this time, despite the presence of nine white skeletons, the two remained evenly matched.
As time went on, the commotion below grew louder, and white, fragmented skeletons began to be bounced up.
Everyone then got a clear look at the white skeleton and couldn't help but gasp.
