fifty-three, forest of bones
In Haoxi Imperial City, thousands of miles away, He Ci said that morning, heading towards his side palace. Two followers followed him. One of the followers handed a wax letterbox next to him, reporting: "Your Highness the Second Prince, a sudden change occurred in the Beiping Mountains recently, and a black thunder came to the world. He also heard strange sounds inside, as if a spiritual beast had passed through the tribulation."
He Ciyan took the message, smiled after reading the content, and asked the people around him, "Yuanwei, what do you think?"
He was surrounded by Yuanwei, who destroyed the last man from Longwu Pavilion, and he was surrounded by He Ci Yan.
Yuan Wei pondered for a moment, looked at the sky Caixia and said, "Your Highness, will this cloud be dispersed if it doesn't spread out?"
He Ciyan looked at the clouds with a smile on his face: "How can it not disperse? The clouds move with the sky, and the sky is changing again." After he said that, flames ignited in his palm and burned the letter paper, he walked forward alone and said: "Notify the Imperial Guard and my father that I will personally conquer Beiping."
Ling Xi woke up slowly in the darkness, and Xiaoling's voice came from his ears: "Do you want to tell him about this?"
Another young man who had never heard of him said, "Forget it. With his personality, I'm afraid he has to go to Xilong for trouble. Maybe we both got involved too."
"What do you tell me?" Ling Xi suddenly spoke, scaring the two of them very much.
"You are awake." Xiao Ling said timidly: "We didn't say anything."
Ling Xi looked at the boy. The boy had purple hair, covered with a layer of mink fur, and his eyes were filled with purple light, which made people feel strange.
"You are..." Ling Xi hesitated for a few seconds and said his heart: "Yi Meng?"
"I'm not a yifeng?" the boy said angrily: "How can I always call you a general term? Are you happy if I call you humans? Let me tell you! I have a name, Hongjing!"
"Hongjing, where is this?" Ling Xi then realized that there was darkness all around, something was empty.
"Hmph." The young man smiled proudly and said, "This is my magical space. Have you never seen it before, a country man."
Xiaoling knocked Hongjing hard on the head: "Stop showing off, just talk seriously if you want to." Xiaoling returned to the point when she first met Ling Xi, and became very violent towards Hongjing.
Hongjing seemed a little afraid of Xiaoling and dared not resist. He covered his head and whispered: "This is the magical power of our race, and each Yimeng is born with ability. There is an independent space in his body, and he can only go in by himself. However, if he really encounters a dangerous situation, he can bring other people in, which means that he will live a short life when he lets them out."
"You can live for thousands of years as a pig all day long. What's wrong with bringing us in after a few years?" Xiaoling said loudly, glanced at Ling Xi, and his voice gradually became smaller.
"What happened to me? I didn't say anything after all." Ling Xi looked into the depths of the darkness and questioned.
"That's... the cliffs in the mountains should have been lost. Hongjing used his soul to explore the entire Beiping Mountains, and found nothing except some ordinary herbs. The cliffs have always grown independently in one place. We are lucky enough to meet two plants in a row."
Ling Xi's face turned cold and said, "Is it useful if you don't say it? I can't find it in the mountains, so I still have to find Xilong."
"I don't mean that, I'm not afraid of something happening to you." Xiao Ling explained, lowering her head and unwilling to speak.
"You don't have to worry about the rest. Hongjing, let me go and I'll solve it alone." Ling Xi looked at Hongjing and said.
Hongjing shook his head reluctantly and stood there. Ling Xi stepped forward and pressed its shoulders, stared at its eyes and said, "There is someone waiting for me to save it, do you know?"
Hongjing glanced at Xiaoling, and she was lit up with her toes and drawing circles on the ground, feeling the suffocation of Ling Xi alone.
A beam of light appeared in front of Ling Xi. Hongjing said beside him, "Close your eyes and I'll send you out. You have to think about it. Going out will last forever. That master in the realm of All Things is not a human. Now he is likely to use his soul to search the mountains for tokens. If you catch you, I'm afraid you won't have a good time."
When Ling Xi opened his eyes again, he was already in the deep forest, and looking forward, the mountains were everywhere.
Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk towards the mountain when there was a strange sound under his feet, like the sound of a branch breaking. He looked at his feet and it turned out to be a piece of broken white bone. I don’t know how long it took to be left, but it was as bright as a piece of porcelain.
Ling Xi looked around and couldn't help but burst into cold sweat. He could see white bones scattered among the trees wherever he looked around.
The most frightening thing is not this, but the bones seemed to be driven by some kind of formation, and slowly floated into the air and spliced together to form a complete frame of bones. Someone had animals walked towards Lingxi in a flash.
I remember that Ling Xi had just entered the Beiping Mountains, and at night there were white bones peeping at him. I also saw Xiao Ling driving the white bones, but at that time it was all caused by the soul, so I didn't go into the deepest question of Xiao Ling.
Today, when I saw these white bones, I didn’t feel any soul fluctuations around me. How could I not let Ling Xi be cautious?
He was not sure whether these bones were malicious, so he turned over the tree and summoned a few local soldiers to approach the bones.
The white bones walked towards Ling Xi without any response.
Seeing this, Ling Xi jumped off the tree crown, summoned a short sword in his hand, and slowly walked towards the white bones behind him.
When Bai Gu saw him approaching, he paused first, then stretched out his hand to him, opening and closing his jaw to say something.
When Ling Xi approached less than two meters, he used a sword to push away the hand of Baibo. Before his tense heart could be put down, a white light flashed in front of him. His neck cooled down and he subconsciously turned his head to avoid it. An arrow-shaped bone spur cut through a hole in Ling Xi's neck and did not enter the big tree. If this bone spur hit Ling Xi, he would probably not be able to escape.
"They should be interested only in living things."
Ling Xi shook his short sword and slapped the bones in front of him, attracting all the local soldiers to block the front with shields.
A bone soldier wearing Emperor Tianwu's armor pulled out a bone spur from the arrow pouch on his waist and put it on the decaying longbow. The layer of animal skin tied to the edge of the longbow had long turned black and rotten, and even the forged bow for steel was full of rust, which made people wonder if the bow would break when drawing it.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air instantly passed, penetrated the shields held by the earth soldiers, nailed them into their bodies, and shook off a layer of sand and soil.
"Kill!" Ling Xi shouted softly and urged all the local soldiers to crash into the white bone group.
For a moment, there were the sound of biting and the sound of bones being broken. Thanks to Ling Xi's group of local soldiers were not living creatures, the skeleton army seemed to be unable to see local soldiers at all, and kept rushing towards Ling Xi, and often before getting close, they were smashed by local soldiers.
Ling Xi and they killed a stick of incense for a full stick of time, but they never saw any signs of the reduction of bones, so they couldn't help but start to pay attention.
A wolf-shaped bone was trampled by the earth soldiers, and the bones were broken and scattered all over the ground. In a blink of an eye, driven by some mysterious force, he was resurrected from a distance.
At this time, Ling Xi's spiritual power could no longer support the driving of the earth soldiers, his head was in pain, and his physical strength gradually began to fail to keep up. Fortunately, with the Nirvana War, he could barely solve the approaching skeleton without any effort.
Finally, when Ling Xi's spiritual power was about to be exhausted, he couldn't help but give up his control of half of the earth soldiers. Several earth soldiers turned into earth and rocks and collapsed, which shortened Ling Xi's defense line by half.
Ling Xi struggled to block the skeleton sea with more and more effort, and glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, looking for a way to escape.
Suddenly, a strange place in a place attracted Ling Xi's attention. Ling Xi would definitely not believe that these skeletons could actively resurrect and attack people without any driving. Even if they were perverted, they had to follow the rules of heaven and earth, otherwise they would not be able to operate at all.
Even the evil skill of Tian Ni comes at a cost, and it crazyly damages the lifespan of the host. This is why the heaven and earth allow this skill to exist.
Almost all the resurrections of skeletons come from the direction, and Xiaoling is not around Ling Xi, but Ling Xi can still vaguely feel that the spiritual energy in that direction is indeed stronger than other places.
He immediately made a decision and began to command the earth soldiers to rush in that direction. This method was quite effective. The earth soldiers knocked the skeletons over and before they got up, Ling Xi quickly stepped over the earth soldiers' heads and came to the place where the skeletons were resurrected.
That was a soft open space.
There were only a few talismans engraved with mysterious patterns in the open space. The talisman group formed a ring and flew around the center of the open space.
"This should be the place where the skeleton can be resurrected." Ling Xi was about to tear off a spell, and his mind moved, and stopped and let a local soldier go to explore the way.
Unexpectedly, the local soldier had just approached and a fierce lightning flashed out of the ring to split it into earth ashes.
Ling Xi was startled. If he walked over directly, he would have to peel off even if he didn't die due to this lightning. But now he was even more sure that this was the place to drive the skeleton to resurrection.
I don’t know who made this kind of harmful formation here for what purpose. Look at the skeletons, there are definitely many people who have died because of this formation over the years.
Ling Xi tried to throw out the short sword in his hand. As soon as he approached, he was struck into black and gray by a lightning. Ling Xi silently remembered the length of the lightning in his heart, and sent the last two earth soldiers to rush towards the formation. Two lightning flashed one after another, smashing the earth soldiers.
At this time, the group of skeletons behind him surrounded him, just around the corner of Ling Xi.
Ling Xi felt at ease, and secretly calculated the time when the lightning was slashed out. He gritted his teeth and summoned eight local soldiers at the same time, rushing towards the center of the formation in turn. Ling Xi followed him and took action at any time.
Lightning struck in sequence according to the order Ling Xi thought, and in a blink of an eye, only one local soldier left in front of Ling Xi. Ling Xi tried his best to throw out a spear and stabbed the talisman in the air.
The local soldiers were torn apart by lightning, and it was Ling Xi's turn next.
He had seen an arc flash through his eyes, and he couldn't help but jump out and closed his eyes.
The expected burning sensation did not reach the surface of his body. Ling Xi lay on his back in the remaining ashes of the earth soldiers, and a few pieces of talisman paper in front of him fell from the air weakly.
The spear was nailed in the distance, stabbed in the center of a talisman, breaking the formation.
The skeleton group turned into dead objects in one go, and the bones fell to the ground to form bones.
Ling Xi stood up and sucked the air conditioner to hold his forehead, trying to maintain consciousness. Not only did he exhaust his spiritual energy, he also truly felt the power of Tian Ni's backlash. Since practicing Tian Ni, his talent has indeed been much higher. In less than half a month, Ling Xi showed signs of breaking through Mo Zhi Jiudan. I believe that it will not take long to reach the spiritual cultivation realm.
However, the consequence is that Ling Xi will be exhausted every time he takes action. Unlike usual fatigue, he is really unable to act, and even to the point where he cannot mobilize the spiritual power in his body.
The thought of resting for a while flashed through Ling Xi's mind, and a wave of friction from the bones pulled him back to reality.
The group of skeletons were all resurrected and walked towards Ling Xi.
Ling Xi was anxious. At this time, he could not even mobilize his spiritual power. If he removed his physical fitness, he was no different from ordinary people and could not summon out troops to stop him.
Ling Xi looked to the side and realized that there was an additional stone-carved formation in the place of the talisman ring. The previous talisman should not be the core of the formation that Ling Xi thought, but was just another formation used to protect the existence of the formation. The one that can really drive the skeletons to move was the stone formation that appeared in front of Ling Xi.
