Chapter 50050 The Unbreakable Bones Are About to Be Formed, There Are Seven Signs
"Don't worry about me. I'm afraid I will lose my mind soon." Ah Huai pulled his hand out from under Zhuang Rong'er and took a few steps back to create some distance.
He remained calm, though his voice had grown hoarse. He tried to comfort Zhuang Rong'er, who felt as if she were falling into an icy cave, "As long as you can get out and find the head of Wanjian Mountain to obtain the antidote, I will be safe too."
Zhuang Rong'er was speechless. Her hand subconsciously fell on the Qiankun bag, which contained an incorruptible bone. She had obtained it from a fatal battle with the zombie that transcended the five elements in the Soul Burial Cave decades ago.
She was indeed an extremely selfish person. When facing the people in Hanzhou, she never thought of using her indestructible bones. She only wanted Li Ruohui to take responsibility.
But now her heart began to waver.
In order to fill the Zhenhai Dzi Bead, she had given up a rare reincarnation fish eye that had been rare for decades. The plan to resurrect Jing Huai had been repeatedly shelved. If she gave up the Undying Bone now, when would she be able to get the second one?
Unlike the World-Devouring Whale, the formation of the Unboneless Zombie is completely random and depends on both chance and the law.
She couldn't afford the gamble. She couldn't turn Jing Huai's resurrection into an empty slogan, pushing it into the distant future...
Zhuang Rong'er dug her nails into her palms, then heard Ah Huai ask, "Can you tie me up with a silk ribbon?"
He was worried that if he stayed in this secret realm as a living dead, he would hurt Shui Wu and Lu Baozhen.
Ah Huai looked up at the trees on both sides of the mountain road, and even chose a place to tie himself up.
"I can't go out with you..."
He was interrupted by Zhuang Rong'er in the middle of his words. She said, "Shut up."
Then Zhuang Rong'er really used the silk ribbon and wrapped it around him, not only wrapping his hands, but also wrapping his waist, just like the last time under the Starry Sea, in order to prevent him from getting separated, she used the medium to connect the two of them.
But she did not tie the other end of the ribbon to the tree.
She grasped it in her hand and pulled him tightly, drawing him toward her until they were face to face again.
Ah Huai's gradually confused mind became clearer, with a hint of surprise in his expression. Seeing Zhuang Rong'er trying to reach out and touch him again, he tried to dodge because this might cause Zhuang Rong'er to be infected as well.
But he was tied up all over and couldn't even struggle.
"what you do?"
Zhuang Rong'er's hand was already on his infected wound.
The dark poisonous gas seemed to be tangible, almost reaching her skin, but she seemed not to care.
Ah Huai helplessly discovered that the person infected with the corpse poison was him, but the one who lost his mind was clearly Zhuang Rong'er.
This seems to be the case.
Zhuang Rong'er pushed Ah Huai to the ground and sat cross-legged in front of him.
The two of them were less than half an arm's length apart. Her hand was always pressed on the wound. She closed her eyes and began to guide the spiritual energy in her body.
She had to protect Ah Huai's meridians. She couldn't accept him looking as miserable as a living dead. She wanted to delay his infection as much as possible.
She wanted to force him to go with her through the cave, fight his way into Wanjian Mountain, threaten Li Ruohui, and get the antidote for the corpse poison.
The conciliatory policy she had planned earlier was long forgotten. She was in no mood to play the rigid entry-level game with the people from Wanjian Mountain. She had only one idea - she couldn't let Ah Huai continue to suffer.
She couldn't take out her own incorruptible bones to detoxify Ah Huai, and there was no way she could do it.
If you calm down and think about it, you will know that there is no environment here to use undissolved bones as medicine. There is a lack of utensils and other medicines.
She wanted to leave here, and take Ah Huai with her—
Zhuang Rong'er closed her eyes, and this thought came to her mind strongly. The next second, endless spiritual energy flowed into Ah Huai's body along the part where the two were touching.
Ah Huai felt as if there were multiple forces fighting in his body. He couldn't help but tremble all over and breathe heavily.
At certain times, his appearance was clearly changing. His nails turned black and sharp, as if they could tear something apart with just a slight grip. When he clenched his teeth, his sharp canine teeth could faintly pierce his lips, and the smell of blood filled the tip of his tongue.
But the next second, these changes suddenly reverted.
He seemed to have been completely infected, and should be no different from the zombies he met in Hanzhou, but why was he still thinking?
At what moment would his mind leave him? Would he then behave in an involuntary and vulgar manner, disgusting Zhuang Rong'er?
But he didn't arrive at this moment for a long time.
The cold and stinging force in his body was the raging corpse poison, while the warm force that soothed him like spring water was the spiritual energy that Zhuang Rong'er transferred into his body to protect him.
But there was a third force lurking deep within his consciousness, half awake and eager to try.
Spiritual energy and corpse poison are intertwined, while it lies dormant and waits, vaguely about to break free from the shackles... What is that?
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the secret realm, and strong winds blew violently, but they were unable to blow away the man and woman who were sitting cross-legged facing each other on the road to heaven.
The snow fell like a waterfall, accompanied by dark clouds and low pressure. The entire mountain road seemed to be swallowed by a gray curtain, and not a single ray of light could penetrate. The first "click" sound was like a switch, and the giant tree along the road broke in the middle. Then the second tree, the third tree...
Shui Wu, who was daydreaming halfway up the mountain road, was also awakened by the unusual noise.
The words written to her on the snow had been blown away by the sudden wind. She stood up suddenly, but she was unable to stand. This unusual scene of impending storm seemed to have the power to destroy the world, and it made her tremble.
Just then the tree behind her collapsed, and Shui Wu screamed and jumped into the middle of the road.
"What's going on? Sister Rong'er——"
She shouted Zhuang Rong'er's name, but she could no longer see their backs on the way up.
She turned her head with a pale face and saw Lu Baozhen, who was as panicked as she was, a few dozen meters behind her.
"Sister Xiaozhen, don't be afraid, let's go together..."
Not daring to delay any longer, Shui Wu just wanted to reunite with the others. She ran over madly, but when she was two steps away from Lu Baozhen, she suddenly stepped on empty air.
The stone steps that had been shaking since she started running were finally completely shattered. The mountain road leading to the sky actually collapsed like snow. As her body continued to fall, Shui Wu finally realized that this was a secret realm.
And now, the secret realm collapses, and they are finally about to fall into the real world...
For example, a dark, cold cave.
There are long stalactites hanging upside down from the top, each of which has a strange shape, like a ghost hand or a drooping ice blade.
The temperature here is extremely low, and the echo of condensation dripping water lingers in the background for a long time.
“Uh…”
Shui Wu fell to the muddy ground with Lu Baozhen in his arms. After a quick glance at the surroundings, their heads hit each other and they both fainted.
…
At the other end of the cave, Zhuang Rong'er's spiritual energy supply was also interrupted due to the sudden changes in the world.
She fell into the cave with Ah Huai, whose eyes were tightly closed and teeth were chattering, and immediately realized where they were.
Dongtian asked and finally found the exit, but this was not a cave, but a cave - the Soul Burial Cave.
...The cave in Wanjian Mountain is actually connected to the nest of incorruptible bones!
It is unknown whether there are still undecayed bones here today, but this matter is really bizarre, comparable to the Palace Master of Yingyue Palace "raising" Yan Ji.
These so-called righteous sects all hold secrets. Why does Wanjianshan do this?
Could it be that the so-called "Dongtian Dao" is simply a huge lie they made up?
Will all the monks who are attracted to come for the trial end up being fed into this man-eating cave?
Zhuang Rong'er had a lot of questions in her mind, and the one that confused her the most was why the secret realm was suddenly interrupted and what shattered it?
Was it her strong will to escape, so-called "Dao Heart", or was it the nameless power that she felt from somewhere at a certain moment, burning like a raging fire and disappearing in a flash?
She hurriedly looked at Ah Huai, who was wrapped like a dumpling by her silk ribbon.
He lay straight on the ground, his eyes slowly opened, looking at the stone wall of the cave. His breathing did not stop for a moment, accompanied by some empty dripping sounds. There was no death in his eyes, but they emitted a faint dark red. They were different from all the living dead in Hanzhou. Even if a cultivator was infected with corpse poison, he would not show such signs.
It was more like... She didn't dare to think about it any further.
Zhuang Rong'er hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and instinctively raised her hand to cover his eyes, while putting her other hand back on his arm, trying to continue to send spiritual power into his body.
She didn't even dare to look him in the eye. If this action hadn't made her notice her hands, she wouldn't have known that she was shaking.
Her body temperature rose and her brain began to ache dully. When she came into contact with Ah Huai, it seemed as if he had stimulated her breathing frequency, and her chest kept rising and falling.
But the next second, she had to step back to avoid it, because Ah Huai suddenly raised his head, and his lips gently rubbed against her palm, and his fangs barely scratched past, without causing any wounds, but symbolizing his attack on her - he wanted to bite her.
A faint rustling sound came from deep within the intricate forks of the cave, and more than one "thing" was rushing towards them.
There are many monsters in the Soul Burial Cave, especially on the outskirts of the cave, because they like this cold and evil place, but are afraid of the pressure of the incorruptible bones in the center of the cave, so they move in groups in the branches.
But the movement now did not seem to be made by demons, but rather by humans, as if several people were approaching cautiously in silence.
Zhuang Rong'er tied the silk belt closer with her backhand. When she heard a low moan from Ah Huai's mouth, she loosened her grip a little, restraining him but not torturing him too much.
Then she quickly pulled herself up, a snake-bone whip condensed from her sleeve, and headed towards the source of the sound.
The moment her whip touched the ground, four or five monks with serious expressions came here from the fork in the road. The moment they saw Zhuang Rong'er, they all showed shocked expressions.
Zhuang Rong'er stood in front of Ah Huai with a sullen face, also looking at them. These people were all sword cultivators, but they were dressed differently. They were not wearing the standard sword robes of Wanjian Mountain, and their cultivation levels were also uneven... Were they the independent cultivators who had entered the cave to ask for the way and came to worship at Wanjian Mountain?
“…Fellow Daoist?”
One of the wandering cultivators spoke to her tentatively.
They also thought that the noise they heard was caused by monsters gathering together.
They have fallen into the cave for several days and there is nothing here. They suspect that this is the ultimate level of the Wanjian Mountain Cave Heaven Tour and just want to clear out the monsters as soon as possible and break through the trial.
The two people who appeared out of nowhere in front of me clearly seemed to be cultivators, but no... they still looked a little strange.
They are not sword cultivators, and they carry a cold, demonic aura that makes people feel uncomfortable!
The young cultivators had not experienced the era when corpse poison was rampant. They looked at each other with fierce eyes and immediately drew their swords and held them across their bodies.
But before he could utter any harsh words, Jian Yi was only held horizontally for half a second before being knocked off balance by a long whip made of snake bones. The resulting air wave forced them all to take a half step back.
Zhuang Rong'er saw the guilty panic flash across the faces of the wandering cultivators, but she had no energy to explain anything to them. She would rather be aggressive and let these people go away.
She was about to swing the whip again, but a strange tingling and trembling spread across her back, as if some powerful threat was approaching.
The few wandering cultivators on the opposite side showed even more obvious expressions of fear, and even kept retreating. Some of them had already run in the opposite direction.
In contrast to their escape, something was coming from all directions.
The dense shadows of bats seemed to form a ghost web, and they stopped along the edge of the rock wall; the indigo butterflies flapped their wings and circled in the low sky; in the dark corners of the cave, strange flowers as red as blood suddenly appeared. They bloomed quickly and withered quickly, and the petals dripped to the ground like drops of blood.
……eccentric.
Everywhere is weird.
She seemed to know that these strange things were related to Ah Huai. Just as she was about to turn around, she was hugged tightly from behind by another being.
Before she could turn her head around, it rested on the other person's chest, and the panting that seemed to be suppressing something was right next to her ear.
Silently, a pale hand touched her waist.
Zhuang Rong'er's heartbeat quickened, and a certain page from the Four Directions Strange Records began to repeat in her mind, and the voice became louder and louder.
"When the Undying Bones are about to form, there are seven signs. First, ghost bats make a pilgrimage; second, dark butterflies gather; third, blood spirit flowers bloom; fourth, crows wail; fifth, chills spread across the land; sixth, yin energy surges to the top; seventh, bones coalesce."
Bones...concluded.
Zhuang Rong'er's gaze froze.
She saw that the silk ribbon that bound Ah Huai had broken into several pieces and was scattered on the ground.
Even though she protected him with her spiritual energy and only wanted to keep him safe, she was still unable to stop him from turning into a corpse.
Even - he turned into incorruptible bones...?
