Devil's Path

Chapter 44: Silver skull

Views:

The rocks on the hillside are rugged, these black stones in the hazy fog are like a monster that only chooses people and eats.

After walking for about an hour, Zhang Xiao estimated that he would soon reach the top of the mountain. Along the way, there were only a few swaying skeletons at the foot of the mountain. Like those in the woods, they all rushed up desperately after seeing him, but Zhang Xiao knocked them into a pile of bones.

After going up again, there was no longer anything that could move by himself in Zhang Xiao's range of mental power. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, if it weren't for the occasional salty sea breeze blowing through his ears, he would have almost thought that he was also a dead spirit.

Suddenly, a big explosion blew up on the top of the mountain, followed by a few successive explosions, which appeared exceptionally loud on the originally quiet hillside.

Zhang Xiao only felt that there was energy gathering on the top of the mountain in front, but it was outside of his mental power perception. Lifting the spear, he tapped the rock under his toes and touched forward.

What appeared in Zhang Xiao's mental power was a three-meter-high skeleton, and he was wielding a long knife in a fight with a soul. The soul kept condensing energy and blasted towards the skeleton. Although the skeleton was swayed, his soul showed no signs of weakness. On the contrary, every time that soul was hit by the skeleton, the soul energy lost a little bit. The lost soul energy was transmitted to the skull through the long knife in the hands of the skeleton and was swallowed by it, so the skeleton became a little stronger.

Zhang Xiao was too far away, and he couldn't see what the soul in the field was. He could only perceive that the souls of both sides were very powerful with his mental power. That skeleton has incredible dexterity and agility. If the skeletons that Zhang Xiao met before at the foot of the mountain were like lifeless puppets, then this skeleton could be said to be more like a living creature. The soul fighting with the skeletons is also very flexible. It constantly walks around the skeletons to avoid the skeleton swords, and also quickly gathers energy to strike the skeletons from time to time. But now it is obvious that the soul that does not belong to the skeleton is gradually weakening, and for a long time, if it does not run, the final result will inevitably be swallowed by the skeleton.

Zhang Xiao was very curious about this soul, so she decided to get closer to see exactly what that soul was.

The fighting between the two parties has wiped out the black mist within 50 meters around them, and there is no longer a slightly larger stone around the venue for Zhang Xiao to hide. When he appeared on the periphery of the field, both parties in the fight stopped at the same time, and both looked at Zhang Xiao, an innocent guest.

The skeleton is about three meters high, and the thick skeleton seems to be wrapped in a layer of silver-white metal, which makes it look a bit dazzling. Holding a long bone knife in his hand, it was also covered with a layer of silvery white like its body. If you don't look carefully, you really think it is a sharp steel knife.

This is a silver skeleton. Generally, skeletons can evolve themselves as long as they absorb enough energy. They generally make their souls more complete and powerful by swallowing other souls or sleeping, and they will also merge the memories and consciousness left by the skeleton to generate their own independence. consciousness. Although they still look stupid in general, once they fight, they will have perceptions and fighting instincts that far exceed those of their kind. The most important point is that they can learn like intelligent life.

These are things that Zhang Xiao doesn't know. All he needs to know is that this skeleton can't pose much threat to him.

On the other side is a white misty human figure floating in the air a few centimeters above the ground, watching the silver-white skull and Zhang Xiao who just broke in.

What is this? It can use magic like a mage. Just when both sides stopped, it added a magic shield to its translucent body in a large chunk. Doesn’t it mean that you need to sing to use magic? Then this thing has no mouth and can't make a sound, how can it use magic

Zhang Xiao has never seen this kind of thing. It looks very much like the ghosts that adults used to hear when I was a child on the earth. But Zhang Xiao was not afraid. The energy of this soul was even worse than that of Skeleton, and naturally it was a big threat to Zhang Xiao.

"Sorry, you continue." Zhang Xiao said and took a step back. He is not sure to deal with two at the same time, and he is not very familiar with the strength of the two sides. If the two sides deal with him at the same time, before he thinks he has no effective defensive spells, he is really uncertain whether he will Run on the spot.

Now it is best for both sides to ignore themselves and continue their battles. At that time, not only can they sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but they can also understand their fighting methods more clearly and intuitively. Although he now feels that this may not be realistic, he still decided to give it a try with one out of ten thousand thoughts.

Maybe they are all stupid! Zhang Xiao thought stupidly in his heart.

Neither side moved. The fire of the soul flickered in the two hollow eye sockets on the silver-white skull's head, and the human-shaped soul became more and more erratic, as if both were thinking fiercely.

"Help me, human." Zhang Xiao, who was always ready to slip his feet when something went wrong, suddenly received the soul wave sent to him by the soul.

Unexpectedly, this humanoid soul could already use soul fluctuations instead of language, and Zhang Xiao raised this soul by another level.

"Help me! As long as you help me defeat this silver skeleton, I am willing to swear allegiance to you with my soul!" Seeing Zhang Xiao just staring at it, there was no response, the white mist in the body of the soul rolled fiercely. Now, it was obviously a little anxious.

It turned out that this kind of skeleton was called the silver skeleton, no wonder it was more than a hundred times stronger than the ones at the foot of the mountain, and it was so bright that it really seemed to be covered with silver. Zhang Xiao really didn't care about the vows that Zhang Xiao said to the soul, not to mention the fact that he took a soul as a subordinate instead of swallowing it directly. But if the Silver Skull can be solved first, then even if the soul body fails to fulfill the vow, he can easily handle it.

"Get out of my place, damn human!" While Zhang Xiao was still considering whether to help or not, Silver Skull also roared with its violent soul energy, and the soul flames in its two eye sockets burned more vigorously. , Apparently it had heard what the soul said to Zhang Xiao.

Your site? Zhang Xiao's eyes narrowed, he hadn't planned to let it go, if he spoke more politely, maybe he could consider letting it go more freely. Now since you are the first to be unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

"Okay, I'm going! Enjoy it slowly." The determined Zhang Xiao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, picked up the spear, turned and walked down the mountain.
