Chapter 486 Dark under the lamp
The purple ghost fire burned fiercely in the air.
"Who dares to trespass into my territory!" The top of the cellar was like a connected roof, which was lifted up by its huge bony hands.
A complete human skeleton holding a broken skull in one hand and a bunch of complete human skeletons in the other turned around and ran away.
"You're here and you still want to run away!" The huge body of the purple ghost fire was now exposed above the cellar.
It has a huge human-like head and a strong and tall body similar to that of a human. The only difference is that its body is crouching like an animal.
"Fuck, this isn't a human, this is a gorilla skeleton!" No wonder this guy has human-like intelligence. And this guy was able to advance to the purple level in such an environment, so his strength was definitely not something she could easily shake now.
Although she is still a blue-level ghost fire, she has just absorbed the energy in the broken skull, and the soul fragments in her body have been filled halfway.
In addition, since her body was fully repaired, her strength was definitely not just at the cyan level. If she fought hard, the blue level will-o'-the-wisp would definitely not be her opponent.
But the opponent happens to be at the purple level.
run!
"It's you! It was you who broke into my territory last time, and this time you even dared to steal things!" The purple-level gorilla skeleton roared and chased at a rapid speed.
It was shocked.
Last time, the opponent was still a green will-o'-the-wisp, but it was promoted to the cyan level so quickly. Not only that, the body of this cyan will-o'-the-wisp had actually undergone a transformation, and the flame in the skull's eye socket actually had fire energy.
Human! This is a human superpower who awakened in the abyss after death. Not only awakened, but also restored her own bones and soul.
"If I don't take you down today, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the abyss in the future."
Just now, she had not absorbed all the energy in the broken skull because she sensed the movement outside the cellar. And now she ran out, and the two animal bone guards at the cellar door had returned.
But where did that guy go?
It was not until she escaped to the location of the colorful group of will-o'-the-wisp fires that she saw that the guy was actually in the center of the group, absorbing and devouring clusters of will-o'-the-wisp fires that were smaller than itself.
"Still swallowing, the purple eyes are chasing us! Run!"
The purple will-o'-the-wisp chased to the edge of the abyss and the swamp. Seeing that a group of green will-o'-the-wisp had swallowed up most of the will-o'-the-wisp group it kept in the land, flames burst out of its purple eyes.
"You all should die!"
The huge gorilla skeleton suddenly stopped in place, its two bony hands beating the big bone on its chest as if it were a race, roaring angrily.
On that white star-like head, on the frontal bone above the two huge eye sockets, a crack suddenly opened like a big mouth that was about to swallow everything.
She was running madly in front, not daring to stop at all. After the green ghost fire caught up with her, its ghost fire body was now filled with black devouring power, as if it was digesting the ghost fire power that it had just devoured madly.
A beam of white light shot out from the forehead of the gorilla skeleton, and hit directly the human skeleton that was running away frantically.
This person's skeleton is strange, and there is such explosive fire energy in his body, which seems to be somewhat similar to the original fire of the Golden Crow. Could it be...
It’s hard to say whether this is the master that Jinwu is looking for.
Fortunately, its two brothers were busy dealing with the Golden Crow and had no time to take care of it. It would first swallow the awakened human to replenish and repair its own soul. As long as it swallowed her, no one would know.
The green will-o'-the-wisp seemed to sense danger, and it saw a beam of white light coming from behind them. It sped up and ran ahead of her. She fell behind.
"Damn you, I treated you as my partner, but you used me as a shield! You can't win a fight, but you're the best at cheating people!"
The human skeleton sped up and rushed forward again. However, the white beam seemed to have locked onto her, bypassing the green will-o'-the-wisp and aiming at her again.
She glanced back slightly.
A giant gorilla skeleton with a third eye on its forehead.
Three Eyes...
She thought of the third eye. Didn't that guy attack with the opening and closing of his third eye? And just like the gorilla skeleton, the white beam it shot out also had a locking function!
There seems to be some connection between them?
"You run first, this beam attack has a locking function, I can't run away!" Like the attack of the three eyes, once this white beam moves, she can track you even if you run tens of thousands of miles away.
I just don't know if the attack power will be smaller if the distance is longer.
The green will-o'-the-wisp paused, then continued running parallel to her at the same speed.
Every time the white beam of light was about to reach her, she would speed up and speed up again. If she really couldn't avoid it, she would turn a corner and run again.
After the Purple-Eyed Orangutan chased to the border between the abyss and the swamp, it hammered the bottom angrily.
The green will-o'-the-wisp devoured countless of its own kind, and its color changed as it ran.
The green color turned into cyan, and soon the color of the entire body was almost replaced by cyan.
"You are so lucky. I am taking the risk to steal a body for you, but you are secretly devouring your own kind to advance."
Two balls of green ghost fire were flying towards their permanent residence, but the white beams of light behind them were chasing them relentlessly.
"I just don't believe it can chase me to the ends of the earth!"
A huge wall of fire suddenly appeared behind the two will-o'-the-wisp flames, as if trying to block the attack of the white beam of light.
However, no matter how the flame wall exploded and burned to resist the white beam, it was still pierced by the white beam.
She thought she could hold out for a while, but it penetrated her instantly and was about to hit her vital bones and head.
The green flame wrapped in the black devouring force suddenly blocked the vital part of her head.
After being dispersed by the white beam, the cyan body continued to attack her head. The cyan flame quickly reorganized with the devouring power and blocked her head again, but was dispersed again.
After being dispersed no less than ten times, the color of the blue will-o'-the-wisp finally turned back to green. However, this time the green will-o'-the-wisp that was dispersed could not reorganize instantly to block the attack for her.
The white beam of light passed through the vital parts of her head, instantly knocking off one-third of her skull, and then dissipated into nothingness.
One third of her skull was knocked off and her body instantly dissipated.
At this moment, she truly experienced what it meant to be back to the days before liberation. It took so long to repair her body, but it was hit like this and it was directly turned back to its original state.
The green will-o'-the-wisp finally gathered its body together again and repaired its original form.
It rushed directly into a human skeleton that she had thrown aside without any pretense. After its green body entered the eye sockets of the human skull, it began to retreat.
The life energy in this set of human bones was something he had not seen for a long time, but it was also something he could not adapt to all at once. Fortunately, his devouring power had awakened, and it was not difficult to completely merge with this skeleton. It was just a matter of time.
On the contrary, it was the companions around him who made him laugh and cry. Although he had betrayed her, at least he had blocked and weakened the attack of the purple-eyed man for her, saving her life.
At this time, the incomplete skeleton, which was beaten back to its original form, rolled its skull to the side of the incomplete skeleton she had stolen. Red flames shot out from its eye sockets, surrounding the entire skeleton.
Although the body has now been shattered and disappeared, fortunately all of its soul energy has gathered in the vortex, crawling in the skull.
It just takes some time and a lot of energy to repair and consolidate your body again.
Fortunately, this dark swamp is vast and has no shortage of people of the same kind. It just takes time to find them.
It didn't take long for the green ghost fire to fuse with the human skeleton. The black devouring power had the ability to devour everything, so fusing a skeleton was easy.
Green will-o'-the-wisp flickered in the skull, and the energy of the green will-o'-the-wisp floated freely into the human skeleton, leaving a dark light in the remaining eye sockets.
The darkness in those eye sockets was like the abyss of a black hole, which seemed to be able to absorb all the power and devour it.
She had already absorbed the other broken skull. The broken skull disappeared, and her shattered skull was restored in its place.
He picked up the broken skull on the ground after fusing his skeleton, and a strange male voice came from his skull.
"It seems like I'm the only one left to rely on this time!"
"Humph! If I didn't want to find a body for you, how could I become like this?"
"So, to thank you, I have blocked Zi Mou's fatal attack for you. If it weren't for me, you might not even be able to save your Will-O-Wisp's body now."
"Forget it. I won't bother with you. I need energy now. Take me to find some bones. Broken or incomplete ones don't matter."
"This swamp is so vast, but bones are hard to find. I have never found any bones in other swamps since I woke up here.
In such a large place, there must be no place with more and more complete skeletons than the one in Zimou’s cellar.”
"There are indeed a lot of them there, but you have to be alive to get them! I don't know how you were able to steal the animal skeletons and get away with it."
"My luck is naturally good. Your luck seems to be a little worse."
"I'm really unlucky to have met you." She paused for a moment and asked, "Have you recovered your memory?"
The black eyes froze for a moment, and then the skull shook its head, "I remember some things, but not all. If my soul and consciousness can be completely restored, I should be able to remember everything."
Holding the green skeleton in his hand, the road still headed towards the abyss.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you going? You don't want to live, but I do! I will keep my life and go find my parents and children after I am resurrected!"
"Child? Yes, she is cautious and prudent, which is indeed the nature of a mother. But she is rebellious at heart, just like a child."
"Anyway, I'm not going!"
"You want to be resurrected, and so do I. You have a family and children, and so do I. Don't worry, I have been awake for hundreds of years, and I know the purple eyes very well.
After all, it was still a will-o'-the-wisp body, and its soul had not yet gathered. Its white ability to lock onto its target should have been its innate ability when it was alive. Now that it was used, it would definitely have to pay a price.
It must have found a place to rest and recuperate now, and it would never have thought that we would go there again."
"Huh, you really understand the principle of darkness under the lamp."
"To survive here, besides being cautious, you also need a bit of adventurous spirit. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the year of the monkey to be truly resurrected!"
The separation between the bottom of the abyss and the swamp is not that obvious. The only thing that can distinguish them is the smell.
The smell of the swamp is full of rot, while the smell of the abyss is fresh and elegant, very pleasant.
"You see, it didn't remove those will-o'-the-wisp groups and move them to another place. This is enough to show that it has enough confidence. You can't survive his attack."
"You mean free-range? Are these will-o'-the-wisp raised by it?"
“Yes, every once in a while, he would gather these will-o’-the-wisp fires together to be absorbed by a few cyan and blue will-o’-the-wisp fires.
When the blue ghost fire absorbs saturation, it will be upgraded to blue.
The blue will-o'-the-wisp will transform into purple after it is upgraded.
How could the newly purple ghost fire be its opponent? It easily absorbed them. By keeping these ghost fires like this, it doesn't have to go out and slowly look for similar ones to absorb."
"Is this possible? Why don't these will-o'-the-wisp groups run away? It looks like these will-o'-the-wisp bodies are being controlled, and they don't attack each other. It's very strange."
"Maybe it's being controlled. After all, in the entire abyss and swamp, I've only seen one purple will-o'-the-wisp in the past few hundred years. I'm sure it will have some abilities after it's upgraded to purple."
"This place seems to have a lot of secrets, so be careful."
"Let's go to the cellar again."
A skeleton with black flames coming out of its eye sockets, holding a complete skull in its hands, was actually walking towards the cellar in broad daylight.
There are now two guards at the cellar door, one is still a beast bone guard, and the other is a human bone guard.
He walked over with her in a swagger, stood directly in front of the two beast bone guards and was about to push the door.
"Who are you?" the human bone guard stopped them and asked.
"The king asked me to put his new collection inside."
The ghost fire in the eye sockets of the human bone guard is green, while that of the other animal bone guard is cyan.
It seems that the purple-eyed gorilla is not completely defenseless. At least the guard guarding the cellar door is much stronger than the previous two.
"Just give the thing to me and go." It said and took the complete skeleton from his hand.
Such a complete skeleton full of life energy, even this guard couldn't help but take a second look at it.
But when he looked up, he found that suddenly a pair of fiery eyes were spewing fire at him and covering his ghost fire body.
In no less than three seconds, the originally lively human skeleton guard stood there motionless, and the ghost fire in the skull had disappeared.
The beast bone guard was wondering why his companion didn't move, and the next second his own beast bone skull was twisted off. After he came to his senses, he was enveloped by a black energy.
The animal bones fell to the ground, becoming a lifeless skeleton.
"Drag them in. There are so many bones and broken bones inside that it would be too troublesome to carry them away. We will just absorb them inside."
