The bone bird was not small in size, it was a circle bigger than an ordinary big eagle. Although there were only white bones left, it was even more strange and terrifying to lose its life and still be able to spread its wings and fly.
The two immediately entered a defensive state, but the bone bird bypassed their heads and went straight to a dark corner behind the steps.
After a while, the bone bird flew back again, and when it flew over Yan Mo's head, it loosened its claws and threw something into his arms.
Yan Mo subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
The bone bird flew back to the bone pillar, retracted its wings and stood firm, without moving.
Yuan Zhan stared at the bone bird closely, his eyes were vigilant but also confused and apprehensive. But he has always concealed this three-point fear very well. He is not afraid of bones. He is not afraid of dead bodies and bones, but these movable bones are different. No matter how bold he is, he will still be a little creepy.
Before entering this hall, he had never seen or heard that bones could move by themselves and attack others.
From the beginning, he regarded these moving bones as the witchcraft of a powerful witch from a certain tribe, and he believed it even more after hearing that the skull could not be removed.
And these are the most taboo things for soldiers. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to destroy everything here and confront some invisible unknown force.
If he hadn't awakened the ability of divine blood, if he hadn't been at the sixth level, if Yan Mo hadn't been here, he would have left first if he found out that something was wrong. For him, this is the domain of witches. Not afraid, but he is taboo.
Bones, the dead, altars, no matter how powerful the force is, they are no match for the witch's curse.
Seeing that the bone bird stopped moving, Yuan Zhan turned to look at Yan Mo. I thought to myself that Mo was there, and fortunately Mo was a very powerful priest, who could not only resist the curse of death here, but also managed to escape from the curse.
He couldn't understand what the black skull was, and silently said that it couldn't be taken off by force, so he naturally thought it was a curse left by a powerful witch from a certain powerful tribe.
As for what Mo is doing now, it is naturally the process of breaking the curse.
However, there is an additional benefit of breaking this curse, that is, you can get the tribe's shaman inheritance.
In this regard, Yuan Zhan is very proud. To be able to obtain the inheritance of a certain great witch, or the inheritance of another great witch, his family Mo is very powerful.
"That's... a mouse bone?" Yuan Zhan saw the small thing Yan Mo was holding in his palm.
Yan Mo grabbed the struggling rat bone with all his might, preventing it from escaping. As a result, the mouse bone opened its mouth and took a bite on his finger, and something sharp pierced into his flesh.
And when his hand touched the mouse bone, laughter also sounded in his head, the old voice said: "Child, take it away with you, it will help you. But this is a very naughty Be careful, don’t let it steal your bone bearing. In addition, when you don’t return to the place of inheritance within the time limit, it will be responsible for bringing the bone bearing back.”
Fuck me! Yan Mo wanted to scold someone. This bone refiner was absolutely dissatisfied with him, a foreigner, getting their inheritance. Seeing that the test could not kill him, he sent a spy and assassin by his side.
take it out? Help him? I'm afraid he wants to use him to help the mouse bone find the blood left behind by the bone refining clan outside
Yan Mo seriously suspected that the mouse bone could be used for blood testing and genetic testing.
Look at the intoxicated appearance of this thief after sucking his blood!
A large hand reached out and grabbed the rat bone.
The rat bone trembled, trying to bite Yuan Zhan, but he pinched the lower jaw instead.
"It's a vampire, look at its teeth."
Vampire? bat? But no wings were seen. Yan Mo directly opened the mouse bone's mouth, the mouse bone's slender tailbone kept moving, and the four tiny claws couldn't stop pulling, but Yuan Zhan held it firmly.
I didn't notice it just now, but when I opened my mouth, I found that there was actually a bone straw with a sharp tip and a length of more than an inch hidden in the mouth of the mouse bone. There is a piece of cartilage connecting the throat bone at the back of the bone straw, and Yan Mo was immediately interested.
It stands to reason that the connection behind the straw should not be cartilage, but in order to keep the straw, the bone refiners refined another piece of cartilage to ensure the connection between the straw and the mouse body.
The blood sucked by the mouse bone did not drip, but extended along the bone to a black spar the size of a thumb in the heart. The spar clings to the sternum, as if embedded in it. When the blood reaches the spar, it disappears completely, as if absorbed by the spar.
Yan Mo felt dizzy, and he seemed to feel something the moment the blood entered the spar.
But the old voice in his head was unresponsive, without any explanation for the situation.
Yuan Zhan held him up, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to crush the rat bone with his hands.
Yan Mo grabbed his arm, covered his head and said, "I'm fine, I still have use for this thing."
God knows what the rat bone will do to him if he breaks it, so let's keep it for now, as he is very interested in the structure and refining method of this vampire rat, so it's easy to keep it for research.
After sucking the boy's blood, the black rat bone became much more obedient and no longer struggled. Yan Mo didn't dare to put it in his pocket, so he tied the rat's tail with a rope and hung it around his waist—he was worried that the thing would move even if it was in his pocket, so what if he gnawed and bit it everywhere
Yuan Zhan was worried about Yan Mo, this time he refused to leave first, insisting on sending Yan Mo to the exit first.
It doesn't matter to Yan Mo, just follow if you like.
According to the illuminated part of the hall graphic in my mind, the correct entrance and exit should be behind the steps.
When Yan Mo walked to the wall behind the steps, the bone guards also moved, and they followed.
The two looked back, and then turned their attention to the wall.
During the battle, Yuan took back all the torches, and the two of them each kept one for lighting, and Yan Mo put away all the others after they were turned off.
Yan Mo groped along the wall, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the mechanism, nor the cave where the bone key could be inserted.
"strangeness… "
Yuan Zhan also felt strange, "What are you doing? Didn't you say that you have to give the bone key to the bone guard before you can go out?"
Yan Mo was speechless for a while, he was really stupid, the Bone Refining Clan didn't have the concept of a key, where could he find the keyhole
"Let me see what's special about this wall." Yan Mo said with a face that he just thought so.
"Oh?" Hearing what the priest said, Yuan Zhan immediately pressed his hand on the wall and unfolded his ability to find the difference here.
Taking this opportunity, Yan Mo quickly turned around and casually found Gu Gu Shou, and handed over the bone key to him.
After the bone guard received the bone key, his tailbone swung, and he slid to the other bone guard, and handed the bone key to it.
The bone guard who received the bone key took the bone key and inserted it somewhere in his arm, and it went in perfectly.
This bone key was actually a bone in that bone guard's body.
The bone guard inserted into the bone key slid to the wall, and when it moved, the other bone guards also moved.
At this moment, Yuan Zhan let out a laugh, "I thought it was wrong when I checked it before. The back of the wall is empty. Because it is not big, I thought it was a gap in the mountain and I didn't pay attention. And the wall and the land below not connected together,"
Before they finished speaking, those skeleton guards didn't know what to do. They inserted all their arms under the wall, and suddenly lifted the wall up.
Yan Mo, Yuan Zhan, "..."
There was a slight sound coming from the opposite space.
"Go in quickly!" Yuan Zhan urged Yan Mo actively. Just because he understands, he knows how big, how thick, and how heavy the wall is, and he doesn't know how long those skeleton guards can last. He could control it, but at the moment the door opened just now, he felt a particularly terrifying coercion enveloped him.
"You also leave quickly." Yan Mo ordered, without hesitation, he lifted his foot and walked in.
"Boom!" The wall fell to the ground, and Yuan Zhan was surrounded by bone guards.
"Crack, click." A strange voice came from the steps.
Yuan Zhan turned his head, his eyes shrank suddenly, and the four bone birds flew up together, and stared at him together!
Yuan Zhan immediately sank into the soil, without giving the four bone birds and those bone guards any chance to attack him. He is not afraid of fighting, the stronger the enemy, the more excited he is, but Mo said that he is not allowed to destroy this place of inheritance, so he can only leave.
"Ugh!" Halfway through the walk, his body suddenly trembled violently.
My head hurts! It hurts between the eyebrows! The body feels like it's about to fall apart!
He had to stop. At this time, he was walking through the mountain wall, and his whole body was contained in the rock wall.
The pain became more and more severe, and the toes and fingertips seemed to be hurting too much, and gradually became numb.
Yuan Zhan in the dark did not see that his feet and hands were gradually becoming one with the rock wall.
"Mo..." Yuan Zhan's mind began to blur.
If Yan Mo was here right now, he would definitely go crazy, because... Yuan Zhan's body has already half turned into rock!
Yan Mo held up the torch and stared at the exit silently, his eyelids twitched again and again.
Four bone guards surrounded him, seeming to be curious about what he was looking at.
He was looking at the exit, a crooked, not very straight, and different sizes up and down, with an inclination of about ninety to eighty degrees, a nearly vertical square patio.
The patio was very high, and he couldn't see the end because of the limited light.
Someone may ask, how to climb up such a nearly vertical patio passage
Don't worry, the bone refiners have already thought of this, they inserted one bone after another into the wall.
As long as you cling to these bones, you can slowly climb up.
No wonder the cheating Bone Refining Clan disappeared. Even the normal entrances and exits are so perverted. Even if the place of inheritance needs to be kept secret, why can’t you get some normal passages
Yan Mo wiped his face and asked Gu Shou beside him, "Is there any other way to get out?"
Gu Shou looked at him with dark eyes, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.
Well, isn't it just vertical climbing, his athletic ability is much stronger now than before! It is more troublesome to hold a torch.
Yan Mo took a deep breath and started rock climbing.
"Shua Shua." The four bone guards also climbed up. Their claws are sharp and can be directly inserted into the mountain wall or small gaps. The tailbone seems to have some function.
It turns out that this is the so-called protecting me from leaving... afraid that I will fall halfway up the climb, right
"Here, take the torch!" Yan Mo stretched out his hand. He didn't expect those bone guards to listen to him, but they really stretched out their paws to take it.
It seems that those bone-refining clansmen also asked the bone guards to carry the torches.
Not to mention how hard it was for Yan Mo to climb all the way, in short, it was a cruel process that toiled his body and mind. In order to better hide the place of inheritance, and also to train their own blood, the bone refiners worked even harder. In order to facilitate the quick transportation of the bones, such an ingenious channel was created.
When Yan Mo finally climbed to the top, Gu Shou helped push away the stone pillar that hadn't been moved for many years, and the sky was already dark again.
As soon as he showed his head, a hand stretched out and lifted him out from the top of the tunnel.
A bone guard followed and pushed the stone pillar back to its original position. When there was still a gap, the bone guard jumped in again, and after a while, the gap was closed.
If you don't look at the brand-new, long wear marks on the ground, the huge stone pillar supporting Nine Winds' lair is still standing straight and tenaciously in place as if it hadn't moved at all.
"Do you think Jiufeng knows that there is such a passage under its lair?" Yan Mo, who was so tired and out of breath, took a breath and collapsed on the ground. He really didn't want to move.
Yuan Zhan, who had just come out, squatted down with his back facing him, "Come up."
Yan Mo moved his hands and feet, forced himself to climb onto his back.
"I think Jiufeng must not know, maybe its ancestors knew? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that it happened to build a nest on the stone pillar at the exit? When Jiufeng grows up, maybe its inheritance memory will tell... Hehe... "
Yuan Zhan lifted the body that had been slid down behind him, so that the opponent could sleep on his stomach more comfortably.
Yan Mo, who was already so tired that he fell asleep, didn't notice the strangeness of the person carrying him at all, Yuan Zhan was also silent, and walked towards Jiuyuan step by step with the boy on his back.
Around midnight, the two rushed back to Jiuyuan City.
As soon as he heard a sound coming from the room, he immediately jumped up from the ground, turned around and knocked on the door, and whispered: "Open the door, it's me! Where have you been? You've only come back now. I've been waiting for you all night! Things have changed. , those little monsters..."
The door opened, Yuan Zhan cast a gloomy glance at him, and shouted, "Come in!"
"Yes." Startled, he quickly followed in.
After a while, a loud laugh that was cut off halfway came from the room, "Master Mo Mo, what is that on your head?"
