Although this skull is neither a living thing nor a mineral, Yan Mo still asked the guide in the mood of just in case. In his thinking, the bones of some kind of living thing should also belong to the ranks of the living guide.
The guide answered yes, but the content was completely beyond his expectation.

composite? Refined products
Yan Mo grabbed the skull and looked over and over again.
However, this thing really doesn't look like a natural bone just by looking at its color and luster. If it wasn't for his rich experience to make sure that its touch and bone texture indicated that it was a bone, he might have regarded it as a handmade object.
The guide can't answer him what it is, and the Fruit of Witch Luck only knows that it's a good thing, so what's the use of this thing for him
Yan Mo rubbed his thumb on the surface of the skull. The light from the torch did not allow him to see the bone clearly. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be some lines on the bone, not like the bone itself. Textures are much more complicated than that.
There is nothing unusual about the concave surface of the skull, and it feels smooth to the touch, except for an oval groove on the top of the back.
Yan Mo saw this groove and the four oval crystals around it, so he naturally had the idea of putting the crystals in this groove for a try, but he was worried about the consequences.
He also watched some treasure hunting movies in his previous life, almost without exception, as long as he found a certain mysterious ancient tomb or temple or cave, as long as someone picked up the most important treasure, those buildings or ancient tombs or temples would definitely be destroyed. All will collapse and crumble, and at best be submerged by sand or flood waters.
Yan Mo was not sure that he could escape in that situation, and he didn't want to be buried alive, so he planned to wait for Yuan Zhan to find him.
Don't think he doesn't know, just now when he threatened the Fruit of Witch Luck, that fruit sent out some kind of information. Ever since Yuan Zhan said that he heard the Fruit of Witch Luck talking to him, he has been paying attention to this kind of spiritual transmission.
Although the fruit of witch luck is powerful, it lives in his body and is suppressed by him after all. If he doesn't pay attention, it's fine. Once he pays attention, he will feel a little bit about any movement of the fruit.
This feeling is so subtle that it cannot be described in words. If you insist, it is somewhat similar to the connection between pregnant women and fetuses.
When he was an intern and rotated to the obstetrics department, those pregnant women mentioned similar subtle feelings to him. Sometimes they were affected by the fetus in the womb, and they could even feel their emotions. Some fetuses were surrounded by the umbilical cord in the pregnant woman’s belly neck, and his mother even dreamed that she was being strangled. There are many, many similar examples.
"Hey, are there any other creatures around here?" Yan Mo asked Wu Luck Fruit.
"No… "
"Can you feel the father you know?"
"Too far away..."
Yan Mo didn't think that the Fruit of Witch Luck was lying. He had discovered earlier that although the fruit could confuse Yuan Zhan, it could only convey a vague meaning when he was very close to Zhan. Maybe this has something to do with the fruit's mental power range
It's a pity that he can't point the direction to Yuan Zhan through the fruit of witch luck, but he still has a certain degree of confidence in that guy. The space here is so big, as long as Yuan Zhan searches underground, he can't ignore it. Based on the approximate time he brought here, this space is not very far from the place where he was taken away. Unless Yuan Zhan finds the wrong direction, but with the previous contact, it is not easy for Yuan Zhan to find the wrong direction.
Not much gossip, Yan grabbed the skull and walked down the steps holding the torch. He planned to use this waiting time to take a good look at this vast space.
Bones everywhere!
At first, he only felt that the bones were very scattered, but after walking for a while, he discovered a certain pattern. These bones seemed to be scattered, but they were not all mixed together, but placed in circles one by one.
This kind of round bone pile that can't be seen unless you look carefully is all over the entire hall.
Except for the bones, Yan Mo went through all the corners of the hall and found nothing else, nor did he encounter any danger.
During the period, he touched a few bones and asked the guide, but the guide gave him the same answer as before.
When touching the bones, because it was inconvenient to hold the skull with his hands, he put the skull in his pocket.
"Crack." The sound of bones being touched.
Yan Mo turned around quickly, and the flame on the torch drew a line of fire in the air as he turned quickly.
The voice came from the direction he had just come in.
The torches had limited range of light, and he couldn't see anything coming in. And he was holding a torch, which was an obvious target.
But it was too late to extinguish the torch at this time, and he did not dare to extinguish the torch. The other party could come in in the dark, either with night vision or other means. Not only would he have no advantage if he extinguished the torch, but he would also become completely blind. The situation is not good for him, he would rather have a torch to light.
Light always dispels some fears.
Something was approaching him.
Yan Mo rushed towards the steps, the location was higher, the range where the torch could illuminate was larger, and there were only steps on one side, as long as he ran to the top, he only had to guard one side.
The thing behind him followed him closely, fortunately Yan Mo was not far from the steps at this time, he sprinted hard, and rushed to the top of the steps before the thing caught up with him.
Sparks exploded from the torch, Yan Mo quickly turned around and stared at the bottom of the steps.
Chiliu, the visitor slid on the moss, and appeared silently.
It was the humanoid skeletal body he had seen at the door and had also caught him here.
Now the skeleton is like a snake, grabbing the ground with both hands, swimming its tailbone, and quickly crawling towards the steps.
The skeleton stopped in front of the steps, it pressed the steps with both hands, raised its body and looked in his direction.
It was clearly a black hole with nothing in it, but the other party accurately captured his position.
One paw moved forward, the skeleton moved, it wanted to climb the steps.
Yan Mo quickly grabbed the skull from his pocket.
He suspects that this kind of skeletal body is likely to be the guard here, they can probably feel the existence of the skull, as long as no one takes the skull from the bone platform, they will not appear, and he not only took the skull, but also Put him in the pocket.
He would think like this, the timing of the appearance of this skeleton is really too coincidental, it appeared shortly after he put the skull in his pocket, and his pocket is a space object, if this kind of skeleton body can really feel the skull, he put it Isn't putting things in your pockets the same as suddenly disappearing
Perhaps he was right, and the skeleton stopped halfway and did not climb any further. Yan Mo stared at the other party, not daring to move.
"Crack, click." There were two more sounds, as if telling him that someone had come in. Soon, two identical skeletons appeared in front of the steps again.
The three skeletons put their hands together in front of the steps, staring at him with their upper body.
In this weird atmosphere, the hairs on the back of Yan Mo's neck stood on end.
It is very difficult to stand still, Yan Mo tried to move a step to the side, but the three skeletons only looked at him and did not move.
Yan Mo walked a few more steps, step by step back to the bone platform, the three bones still did not move.
How is this going
If it was the guards here, he was already holding the skull in his hand, why didn't they attack him? Or do they just make sure the skull is still here
Put down the skull, picked up an oval spar, still no response.
Pick up the skull and spar together, pay attention not to let the spar touch the groove, still no response.
Then can he judge that as long as he didn't put the skull in his pocket and didn't put the spar in the groove of the skull, he was still safe
After thinking for a while, Yan Mo put the skull into his pocket again.
At this moment, the three bones moved.
Sure enough! Yan Mo immediately took out the skull from his pocket, and the movements of the three bones also stopped immediately.
He was about to put the spar in his pocket for a try, when he heard:
"you are here!"
Yan Mo raised his head when he heard the voice, but he couldn't see a person falling from the top of the space above.
"It's really slow, I just found it now." Yan Mo was happy in his heart, but he continued the sarcastic style from before.
Yuan Zhan didn't quarrel with him. When he landed, his legs were slightly bent to resist the impact, and he met the three skeletons under the steps as soon as he stood up straight.
"Don't attack yet!" Yan Mo called to stop him in time.
Yuan Zhan stopped the momentum of the attack, and the cracked ground under the three skeletons quickly closed again.
Yan Mo had nothing to do with those bones, but Yuan Zhan's ability could firmly suppress them. And with Zhan here, he is not afraid that this place will collapse. He can also let go of the experiment.
"I found some things and I plan to try them. You help me keep an eye on my surroundings and take me out if there is any danger." Yan Mo quickly explained.
"What?" Yuan Zhan glanced all over the young man's body, making sure that the other party had not suffered any serious injuries, and immediately turned his head to look around. These platforms and steps made of bones made him very vigilant. Because he recognized that there were many human bones among them.
"I don't know yet, I have to test it first."
"Can't you take it out and try again?" It was obviously a dead space, but Yuan Zhan felt some kind of terrible threat here.
"Yes." Yan Mo handed the torch to Yuan Zhan, and turned around to the other side of the bone platform, "But this step, the bone platform, and this space are very special, and I don't want to lose them. It might be possible to use it here.”
Yuan Zhan saw the skull in Yan Mo's hand, his eyelids jumped, "What are you going to do?"
Yan Mo casually picked out an oval spar, and casually filled the spar into the groove of the skull.
A stream of light spread around the skull around the spar.
Under the radiance of this stream, the black jade-like skull became more radiant, as if it had life force
This is... recharging
Yan Mo watched the streamer pass over the entire surface of the skull, and immediately felt that the battery had been plugged in, charging was over, and it was starting up.
The streamer disappeared suddenly, and the skull returned to its previous appearance, and it seemed to be different.
Yan Mo waited for a while, but nothing special happened.
How is this going
Looking around, nothing seems to have changed.
Looking at the three bones under the steps, they still maintain their original postures.
"Crack, click..." The non-stop sound of bones colliding told him that more half-human, half-snake skeletons were coming.
Those skeletal bodies were surrounded before the steps, and there were as many as thirteen of them in detail. Like the companions who came before, they stayed at the bottom of the steps, did not climb up, and did not intend to attack them.
So, there are still changes, but... that's it
Yan Mo frowned, there must be some secret, but he hasn't found it yet, where is it
Yuan Zhan shared snacks with the skeletal body under the steps, and asked him, "Did you find anything?"
Yan Mo shook his head, tried to put the skull back to its original position, and replaced other crystals, but there was still no response he expected.
Ask about the fruit of witch luck, and you still don't know.
Yuan Zhan saw that the priest of his family picked up the skull for a while, put it down again for a while, and tossed it over and over again for a long time, but nothing came out. Picking up the skull, he slapped the boy on the head, "What's so interesting about this? Take it home and play with it slowly."
Yan Mo froze suddenly.
Yuan Zhan immediately noticed his change, his face changed, and he raised his hand to remove the skull, but Yan Mo grabbed his wrist.
"Don't move, don't take it off, wait for me."
Yuan Zhan cursed and dared not move again.
Not to mention how Yuan Zhan regretted his carelessness, let's talk about Yan Mo.
The moment the skull got stuck on his head, a lot of information immediately flooded into his mind.
It is similar to spiritual indoctrination, but also like enlightenment.
The language used for this kind of information is completely different from the common language, but Yan Mo can understand all languages in the world, even if he doesn't know or understand, he can immediately understand the meaning.
The first message that came to my mind was an old voice:
My child, this bone bearing is the inheritance of my bone refining puppet clan. The inheritor who wears the bone bearing must pass the test and be judged qualified by the bone bearing before he can take it off. Otherwise, the bone bearing can be removed under any circumstances. The wearer will die of mental breakdown.
Listen, child, if the test is not passed, the wearer will die too. Once wearing the bone bearing, if you want to survive, you can only try to pass the test!
Do your best, kid, don't let me down.
