Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Skeletons Form an Army
Lin Hao was in high spirits today as he obtained an Ice and Snow Primordial Pearl and got a hundred tons of Primordial Stones from Mo Changfeng, making for a plentiful harvest. The Great Secret Realm indeed proves to be a treasure trove; perhaps, even more treasures could be found here.
Should he get more items like the Ice and Snow Primordial Pearl, even if he doesn’t use them himself, giving them to Ziyue, Lan Tianhao, and others, what if they get lucky and absorb the Power of Laws inside?
Now, Lin Hao wants to scour the Great Secret Realm in the shortest time possible and then head to the dense forest meeting for a hunt as mentioned by the Western Group.
Little did he know, just as he walked a short distance, the sound of Sky-breaking reverberated from behind him.
Could it be that Mo Changfeng and the others haven’t changed their die-hard attitudes and were trying to sneak attack?
If that’s the case, today, their lives must be left here.
Lin Hao’s lips curled up slightly, and he swiftly countered with a palm strike, aiming a Hand Power at whatever was behind him.
He also turned around simultaneously.
However, the scene before him next made Lin Hao disbelieving.
It turned out that Mo Changfeng, Mo Changchun, and the third person were still far away in their original place, and what produced the Sky-breaking sound that Lin Hao felt was actually a flying skeleton.
The skeleton, midair, had green lights flickering in its eye sockets. Its limbs moved wildly, bearing its teeth and claws, lunging at Lin Hao.
What is this thing?!
Lin Hao had never encountered such a phenomenon.
A skeleton has no way of possessing life. Moreover, Lin Hao, whose cultivation reached the level of Immortal Emperor in his previous life, even in the Eternal Life Realm, hadn’t heard of any existence of undead, ghosts, or zombies.
Gods themselves are beings who evolved through cultivation in the universe, and upon death, they dissipate just the same, with only a few powerful Divine Souls able to cling to existence on some objects, but they too would fade over time.
Does this world have ghosts, and this flailing skeleton symbolizes some new kind of creature?
There was no time to think further; Lin Hao roared and sent out another palm strike.
"Boom!"
With one palm strike, the skeleton in mid-air was finally shattered, its bony structure scattering and clattering to the ground.
"It wasn’t intentional; really, it wasn’t intentional."
"I have no idea what this thing is; it just suddenly popped out from the ground and grabbed our feet. I just threw it aside, and it flew towards you; I didn’t mean to..."
Mo Changfeng and the others quickly sorted themselves out and ran over, panic-stricken, explaining to Lin Hao.
They now truly recognized and respected Lin Hao. Previously, they did not know it was Lin Hao; after all, he was disguised and unrecognizable. If they had recognized him, there wouldn’t have been any disputes with Lin Hao.
Lin Hao nodded and did not trouble the trio.
However, his gaze fell on the scattered bones on the ground, filled with doubt.
This skeleton was mysterious, having no signs of life yet moving like a living being. It appeared terrifying yet was fragile enough to be destroyed with a single palm strike.
"Senior, do you know what this thing is?"
"Could it be that there really are ghosts in this world?"
"How can this skeleton move as if it has life?"
Becoming Lin Hao’s disciple was no longer possible, and Mo Changfeng was quite aware as he addressed Lin Hao as "senior."
Lin Hao shook his head, his gaze shifting to the spot where they had just been.
That was where the Ice and Snow Primordial Pearl had appeared; the ground there had been plowed over by the recent duel between Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng, with soil and debris rolling out from within.
At first, Lin Hao didn’t think much of it, but now, looking over, that patch of land seemed as if it had come to life, or as if there were many worms moving within the soil.
"What is that? It wasn’t like this when we came over just now." Mo Changfeng also noticed something off about the soil, his expression turning grave in an instant: "The dangers in this Great Secret Realm are no less than those on Resurrection Island. A slight misstep, even a Sky-breaking Expert could meet a violent end. Senior, you must be cautious."
With a serious face, Mo Changfeng nonetheless stood in front of Lin Hao with a large sword in hand.
Lin Hao looked at Mo Changfeng with surprise, nodded slightly, but remained silent. After all, they had not known each other for long and were still enemies; being cautious was inevitable.
Instead, Mo Changchun and Changlei glanced at the bones scattered on the ground, especially at the skull that had previously emitted a green glow from its eye sockets, now lying in the soil just like another decayed skull of unknown age.
The two exchanged a look, not taking any particular interest in this object.
"It seems this thing isn’t very powerful, just mediocre," Mo Changchun walked up to the skull, stomped down, and crushed it to pieces.
"There shouldn’t be ghosts in this world, nor should there be any. These are just remains decayed here who knows how long ago, they couldn’t possibly be alive. I think, someone is tricking us; this must be some kind of Puppetry Technique." Changlei, stimulated into thought, looked around and shouted coldly: "Come out! Hiding sneakily, what kind of thing are you? If you dare, come out and fight me!"
In this open woodland, there were many places to hide, but even Lin Hao didn’t sense any presence of people.
"Come out!"
Changlei continued shouting, but the entire Great Secret Realm seemed to echo only his voice. Besides his yelling, only the whistling cold wind remained.
"Skulking and hiding, what kind of hero are you? Wait till I find you, you won’t die a good death!" Changlei bellowed several times to no avail, but the disrupted decomposing soil in front continued to move more violently.
"There’s no one, no need to call."
Lin Hao’s expression was as grave as Mo Changfeng’s.
This Great Secret Realm was completely beyond his understanding, from the initial man with lion’s skin to the current skeletons, it all felt peculiar.
"No one? How can there be no one?" Neither Changlei nor Changchun could believe it, but if there were no people, then that meant...
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, Mo Changfeng shouted loudly, swinging his long sword towards something in front of Changchun.
At the same time, a skeletal arm in the writhing soil shot towards Changchun like an arrow.
"Crack!"
A booming sound erupted as Mo Changfeng’s Sword Energy collided with the arm, creating a thunderous noise, and the skeletal arm was instantly shattered.
Immediately after, "What is this!" Mo Changfeng didn’t retract his sword, but instead, with a low roar, zipped forward.
While Changchun and Changlei still looked confused, not understanding what had happened,
Lin Hao saw clearly; as Mo Changfeng easily shattered the incoming arm, the soil in front churned rapidly, and hundreds of skeletal remains, intertwined like a giant twist, began emerging from the ground!
"Ignorant humans, you took my belongings and still want to leave? Leave your lives behind!" A chilling voice, as if coming from Ice Hell, emerged from those bones and followed.
The hundreds of skeletons uniformly drilled out from the ground, stood up, forming a neat Skeleton Army, chillingly positioned in front of Lin Hao.
