Human bone cart
At this point, the skeleton had already made up its mind to keep the person, and the brief episode would not affect anything.
Looking at Cheng Jialu, he just stood aside and had no intention of protecting anyone.
After all, for the bone that occupied his body, despite the original owner's previous intention, in a sense, the person who was now holding his arm actually had nothing to do with him.
Even if he was in danger, he would not show any emotion or sympathy at all, and it was impossible for him to stand up when Zhai Ting was injured.
But Zhai Ting still looked as if she was completely unaware of the danger. Apart from her, who was relatively excited because her boyfriend had been found, no one else moved. It was eerily quiet.
Gao Wenwen stared at the direction of the skeleton. The bones hanging in the air were no different from the sword standing above his head.
He swallowed, not because he was afraid, but more because he was nervous. It was impossible for him to run away and put his back in danger. The only thing he could do now was to fight the skeleton head-on.
He couldn't wait any longer, so he started choosing suitable props in the system store, just waiting for the right time to use them.
Although Yang Qi met them halfway and could barely be considered a companion, they did not have much affection for each other. At this time, he had no intention of retreating. Instead, like the other two, he took half a step forward and stood in front of Ding Can.
Yu Fu whispered, "It looks like this skeleton is coming for you. Perhaps it's not that wary of us."
As long as she handles it properly, she can offset some of the attack power. The most important thing now is to find the soft spots of these bones.
In fact, they couldn't be sure whether the dangers from the tombs were limited to the ones in front of them. Perhaps there were more bone carts in other more hidden locations.
According to what we saw on the murals, the Nanhu Kingdom regarded human bone carts as the glory of war and included them among the main burial objects. It is easy to imagine that the number would not be too small.
There were many places in the tomb that they had not yet visited, and Ding Can thought of the contents of the murals again.
To a certain extent, the natural enemies of these bones should actually be the wizards who enjoyed the highest status in the Nanhu Kingdom. With the demise of the country, the wizards also disappeared in the long river of history, and there has been no record of them in later generations.
But in this tomb, which was built before the fall of the country, there must be traces of wizards being worshipped in some places.
She looked up at the ceiling. Just after Zhai Ting opened the mechanism, they fell from it, and the mechanism closed again. It was impossible to return by the original route, so they could only find another way out.
The skeleton in front of her was already determined to take her life, and of course would not offer any substantial suggestions.
On the other side of the tomb, Zhai Ting was still standing beside Cheng Jialu with a worried look on her face: "It's too dark in here, let's get out first."
She had no idea how she got to the underground, and when she saw the surroundings she felt a little uneasy, so she wanted to pull her boyfriend away from this place as soon as possible.
As for the people in front of her and other weird things, she didn't have the energy to care about them at all. Only by leaving here could she truly feel safe.
Not hearing her boyfriend's answer, she looked up at him. In the blurry light and shadow, she could hardly see any expression, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Cheng Jialu realized it and gave Shi She a look: "I'll do as you say. Let's go first."
Except for Zhai Ting, everyone else knew that Skeleton would never let her go. Although they failed to match, the secret here must not be leaked.
"Yeah," Zhai Ting nodded, completely unaware of the danger behind her, and pulled Cheng Jialu's arm and pretended to leave.
The skeleton that had been suspended in mid-air finally moved and spread out slightly to the surroundings.
Cheng Jialu walked very slowly, his feet moving outwards as he walked forward, avoiding the attack range. As for his girlfriend next to him, he had no intention of looking after her at all.
Even the attitude between the two of them seemed as if he would push the other into danger without anyone noticing.
Ding Can had been carefully watching the movements of the skeleton from the beginning, so he caught a subtle tremor at the very beginning, which was more like the preparations made by the beast before hunting.
Immediately afterwards, sharp sounds of breaking through the air rang out one after another, so fast that no one had time to remind each other.
A burst of golden light shot out from the ground, and the sound of metallic clanging appeared in the ears.
The hair beside his ear was blown up by the wind, and Ding Can realized that a golden bell appeared out of thin air, covering all of them.
The skeleton that was shot out was blocked after colliding with the golden bell, and it lost its momentum and fell to the ground.
Gao Wenwen raised his hands above his head, as if lifting something, and the light came from his palms.
As soon as the props came out, not only was the skeleton blocked outside, but even Cheng Jialu couldn't be brought in. He stumbled backwards, his fingertips trembling and unable to get close. The dazzling golden light turned into something terrifying at this moment.
Zhai Ting also lost her balance and fell to the ground. Seeing that she was still trying to help the person next to her, Gao Wenwen couldn't help but scold her: "Can't you see that he is no longer the boyfriend you knew?"
Upon hearing this, Zhai Ting shuddered a few times. Seeing Cheng Jialu's ferocious expression at the moment, he was protecting his legs with both hands, and something was about to come out from under his skin.
Only then did she realize that it was impossible for a person who fell from a high wall to have no scars on his body, especially with obvious bloodstains on his body.
Too much updated information flooded into her mind at the same time, so she didn't try to go out anymore. However, she rolled her eyes and fainted again.
"No way." Gao Wenwen curled the corners of his mouth. Although this man's personality was indeed unpleasant, in the current situation, he just felt that this man was simply involved in an unexpected disaster.
As the only ordinary person present, perhaps fainting is the best option for her.
The sharp roaring sound reappeared in the tomb, and all the leg bones were shouting in anger. Even with the golden bell blocking the sound, it still resounded in the eardrums.
The leg bones seemed surprised by the situation before them, and someone among them spoke up: "Are you wizards?"
Although they have been isolated from information underground for thousands of years, after getting in touch with the outside world in recent years, they have gained a basic understanding of contemporary society. In this era, wizards should not exist.
"You're not wrong to think so. In short, your extravagant hopes are impossible to achieve. Don't even think about hurting other people in the future."
"Who said we were scared..." There seemed to be a hint of smile in the ending tone of the leg bone's voice.
Now it was their turn to be confused. Normally, if you want to judge the opponent's next move, you can rely on facial expressions and demeanor to make inferences, but with so many bones in front of them, apart from the sound, they could no longer detect any other emotions.
In addition, this is the bones' territory, which inevitably makes them feel a little passive.
After trying, the leg bones found that they could not get close to the golden bell and break in, so they quickly chose another way and reassembled themselves into the previous human skeleton shape.
It just made some unremarkable movements in place, and the bones rubbed against each other at the joints, making a dull sound.
The sound became louder and louder, and gradually, a louder sound appeared above his head.
The mechanism that Zhai Ting had used to attract them and open in the hall of the underground palace was reopened above everyone.
There was a crackling sound, and what appeared were not other people, but bones pouring down like a flood.
Yang Qi narrowed his eyes subconsciously: "This is part of other human bones. Maybe we saw them outside before entering the tomb, or maybe they were buried quite deep underground."
The leg bones used as the raw material for the human bone cart have to undergo a wizard's exorcism ritual before they can regain consciousness over the years.
The other parts of the human body can only be used as tools at this moment.
After a few more minutes, the falling bones showed no sign of stopping. The golden bell was already filled with bones above and below, and the original appearance of the tomb could no longer be seen.
Gao Wenwen, who was in the center and in charge of the Golden Bell, could feel the change in pressure the most. At this moment, his arms were beginning to become unable to lift. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Have we ever seen so many bones when we were outside?"
Due to the squeeze, the area protected by the Golden Bell is gradually getting smaller, and there is not much space left to accommodate a few people.
The bones are so light, how many of them must have been buried to have the power they have now.
Yang Qi frowned. "There are so many bones, it's hard to tell which are the leg bones. Be careful they're mixed in."
What he said soon came true, and a slight cracking sound appeared in his ears.
The gray-white cage immediately collapsed inward.
