Chapter 678 The Myth of Tragic Death
The giant turtle's shell was extremely hard, but it could not withstand the sharp claws of the golden bird. It was torn into several pieces in a moment, and then the golden bird tore its flesh and blood in the air, and it died in the blink of an eye.
"It's too ferocious. I've actually fought it before. I'm lucky not to have died." Zhou Wen was secretly shocked. At that time, he was not as strong as he is now.
Of course, that couldn’t actually be considered a real battle, as the golden bird wasn’t targeting it, otherwise Zhou Wen wouldn’t have escaped so easily.
The big turtle was killed by the golden bird, and the big white elephant finally crawled out of the river, and the wounds on its body were healing quickly.
The big white elephant was originally stronger than the big turtle, but it was knocked down by the monk-robed skeleton, leaving it completely defenseless and allowing the big turtle to take advantage of the opportunity.
The golden bird ate the big turtle, but had no intention of touching the big white elephant. It flapped its wings and flew into the sky like golden lightning, disappearing behind the top of the mountain.
After the wounds on the big white elephant healed, it actually rushed towards the monk-robed skeleton in the mountain temple again. It charged madly with holy light, but it could only barely get close to the monk-robed skeleton.
Because it had been severely injured, it didn't even have the ability to walk up to the monk skeleton and attack it.
After holding on for a long time, the white elephant's strength gradually faded in the confrontation with the golden light. Finally, it could not withstand the impact of the golden light. Like being hit by a torrent, its huge body rolled down the Longmen Grottoes and fell into the river, causing huge waves.
"That monk-robed skeleton is truly too powerful." Li Xuan exclaimed in amazement.
"Did you see that the monk-robed skeleton seemed to be holding something in one of its hands?" Zhou Wen had been observing the monk-robed skeleton.
He had thrown the white elephant out with one hand, but the other hand never moved, as it was always blocked by his monk's robe.
Zhou Wen saw that there seemed to be an abnormal protrusion there, but unfortunately his ability to listen was affected by the golden light, and he could not hear the situation near the monk's skeleton. Otherwise, he would have known whether he had something in his hand.
Li Xuan used his soul insect eyes to look, but he only saw that there seemed to be something, and he couldn't tell what it was.
"Is the White Elephant fighting so hard just for the thing in his hand?" Li Xuan guessed.
"We can't be sure yet, let's wait and see." Zhou Wen saw the big white elephant crawling out again, panting by the river, but it was still unwilling to give up. After resting for a while, it rushed towards the monk's skeleton in the mountain temple for the third time.
Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen beside him, "If the big white elephant falls again, its physical strength must be even weaker. I wonder if we can take advantage of it?"
"I'm afraid that the golden bird and the white elephant are in cahoots. You've seen what happened to that big turtle. If you're not afraid of death, go ahead and give it a try." Zhou Wen would definitely not try it.
Even if he tried it with his pets, it wouldn't work. After all, his mythical pets were obtained with great difficulty. Each one was the product of blood and tears. It would be painful to see any of them die.
"That's true. That golden bird is too terrifying. It is probably able to compete with the Ancient Sword Immortal and Tyrant Behemoth. Judging from its abilities, it seems to be mainly based on speed and attack power. Could it be the legendary Golden-winged Roc?" Li Xuan guessed.
"It's very likely." Zhou Wen also felt that this golden bird was very similar to the legendary golden-winged Roc.
While the two were talking, the big white elephant rushed into the mountain temple again and walked towards the monk's skeleton step by step.
This time the white elephant was different from before. The tips of one of its tusks glowed like two bright lamps, fighting against the golden light. This made it much easier than the previous two times, and it ran wildly towards the monk's skeleton.
However, Zhou Wen discovered that the ivory of the big white elephant was constantly burning, and its power seemed to come at the cost of burning ivory.
Finally, the big white elephant rushed to the front of the monk-robed skeleton with the glow of its burning ivory, lowered its head and hit the monk-robed skeleton with its burning ivory.
Before the ivory arrived, the force generated by the impact of the ivory blew the monk's robes.
Zhou Wen had been paying attention to the skeleton in the monk's robe. When the monk's robe was fluttering in the wind, he saw his other skeleton hand, which was placed on the leg bone, appear.
In that hand, there was a golden crystal, as big as an egg and slightly oval in shape.
The moment the crystal appeared, golden light suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire mountain temple with golden splendor, and nothing else could be seen.
Even with Zhou Wen and Li Xuan's eyesight, they were blurry and could not see anything.
After a while, the golden light faded, and when everyone saw the scene inside the mountain temple again, their eyes widened in horror.
The big white elephant was still in front of the monk-robed skeleton. This time it was not thrown down, but now the skin, flesh and internal organs of the big white elephant had completely disappeared. Only a skeleton was left standing in front of the monk-robed skeleton, still keeping its head down as if to hit it. That was the last scene Zhou Wen and the others had seen before.
A gust of wind blew, and the huge skeleton suddenly scattered like flour, falling all over the ground and covering the mountain temple.
Everyone felt a chill down their spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
It was noon and everyone felt cold all over.
"What on earth was that bead just now?" Li Xuan stared at the monk's skeleton in the mountain temple. The monk's robe fell again, covering the bead, and now nothing could be seen.
"I don't know, but there is a companion egg on the ground." Zhou Wen pointed to the mountain temple and said.
Among the bone powder all over the ground, there was a white companion egg, half the height of a person, which was obviously left after the death of the white elephant.
"The companion egg of the white elephant is a good thing, but who dares to go in and get it now?" Although Li Xuan's self-healing ability is very strong, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can withstand such a terrifying golden light.
Zhou Wen's mind was a little moved. Although the White Elephant was not a top myth, it was still a myth after all.
"I wonder if we can send an epic companion pet in to get the white elephant's companion egg out?" Zhou Wen had just come up with this idea when someone had already done it.
Among the epic warriors sent by the local wealthy families in Luoyang to participate in the war, one epic warrior summoned an epic crane and flew towards the mountain temple, trying to get the companion egg out.
However, the crane had just flown into the mountain temple when its body came into contact with the golden light emitted from the monk's skeleton, and it immediately turned into ashes and was completely destroyed.
Everyone was shocked. They realized that not everyone could enter the mountain temple. Just because the big white elephant could walk against the golden light in the mountain temple, it didn't mean they could do the same.
"Fortunately, I didn't go." Li Xuan broke out in a cold sweat. He really wanted to rush into the temple to get the white elephant's companion egg.
