Chapter 242, Endless
Some of the joints may be missing, but they have been pieced together to form a human form.
These humanoid skeletons stared at us with their green flame eyes.
Their heads rotated in the direction we ran, and their stiff hands and feet began to move step by step, approaching us little by little.
At first, the speed of these humanoid skeletons was slow, slow like an old lady walking.
However, it was only a matter of seconds, and after the initial stiffness, the humanoid skeletons began to run quickly.
And it's getting faster and faster, and it's getting more and more sensitive.
In the end, they have even begun to sprint wildly, and their speed is even faster than that of ordinary people.
The most important thing is that ordinary people will be tired, but these humanoid skeletons will not be tired, they can run and chase all the time, and there is no need to consider the consumption of physical strength at all.
The humanoid skeletons snarled, snarled, roared, and let out a series of weird, piercing screams.
This eerie scene inexplicably reminds me of some scenes in the movie The Mummy.
It's just that in the movie, it's a mummy, and all we experience is a forest of white bones.
The scattered bones before can have such a big change, obviously because of those ghosts.
Originally, I thought that ghosts could only be attached to people, but I didn't expect them to be able to possess the white bones that had long been lifeless.
The most important thing is that these possessed white bones show far more speed and power than ordinary people, and they will not be afraid, they will not be afraid of death and physical pain.
After all, there are only white bones left, what kind of pain can there be?
I never thought that these fierce ghosts would have such a hand.
Originally, I relied on the white lantern, but I thought I could get through this area safely.
But the current scene completely shatters our illusions.
Because these galloping humanoid white bones are not afraid of the light of the white lantern at all.
The combination of ghosts and bones creates an alternative monster, a monster with few shortcomings.
They are not afraid of the light of lanterns, and some of the means of dealing with ghosts in disguise will not be useful to them.
And judging from the bones that have not rotted in their white bones, these white bones that contain resentment and death will not be afraid of ordinary sword attacks.
In other words, their current bodies are largely immune to all kinds of attacks, whether it is soul impact or physical damage.
Looking at their menacing appearance, you know that they are not easy to mess with.
"Wang Gang, Wang Gang, you are really a crow's mouth, as soon as you open your mouth, something will happen!"
Facing the sprinting humanoid white bones, Liu Meng's whole person was not calm.
"Don't talk nonsense! Run! If you get entangled in these things, your life will have to stay here!"
After the explosion, I didn't even think about it, I broke away from the crowd and rushed towards the group of roaring white bones.
The speed of these white bones is very fast, although Song Qian and I can easily escape, but Tang Yuying and the others can't escape.
The best thing to do right now is for me to hold these monsters down and buy them more time to escape.
As for Song Qian, the task is even more difficult than mine, not only to guard against the humanoid skeletons that I can't resist, but also to protect the entire team from being entangled by those demon vine attacks.
Only Song Qian can support the formation of the entire team without being scattered and defeated by one blow.
Even if she is as powerful as Song Qian, at this moment, she has become a little scrambling.
If it was just a personal fight, Song Qian would naturally not be afraid, and it could even be said to be a one-sided massacre, but the key point was that Song Qian had to protect the other weaknesses of the team.
It's easy to kill the enemy, but it's hard to protect the enemy.
Song Qian, who was tired of running for her life, couldn't give full play to her ability at all.
As soon as I left, the pressure on the whole team was even greater, and my previous position could only be withstood by Wang Gang and Liu Meng.
Under Song Qian's care, although it was a little difficult, at least it could withstand it.
After a brief look at the situation around me, my attention quickly focused on the dozens of humanoid bones that were galloping towards me.
Those who possess these white bones are all very powerful beings among the ghosts, and the weaker ones do not have the ability to possess the white bones.
Otherwise, with the number of thousands of ghosts in this land of death, once all of them are possessed by white bones and become powerful monsters, let alone me, even Song Qian, I am afraid it will be difficult to parry.
Because it is possessed by powerful ghosts, these dozens of humanoid white bones give me a very strong sense of oppression.
The most terrifying thing is that these humanoid bones are not stupid and only know how to attack, they also have obvious intelligence.
Because when they saw me coming up head-on, two groups of humanoid bones actually surrounded me from the left and right sides of me, and began to approach me.
I was amazed by this unexpected move.
There are only two possibilities for such a reaction, either there is something controlling their actions, or there is a more powerful leader in this group of humanoid bones.
There was no time to observe and study, and the humanoid white bones had already roared and pounced.
They move quickly for the average person, but for me, they're just a little faster than the average person.
With my eyesight, I can clearly see their attacks, one move at a time.
When facing those ghosts, I may not have much confidence, because my attacks need to rely on soul chains to achieve.
Although foreign objects are powerful, they are foreign objects after all, and they are not as reliable as the improvement of their own strength.
So when dealing with ghosts, I always lacked a little bit of self-confidence.
But when it comes to dealing with some physical monsters, such as the humanoid white bones in front of you.
Although it looks terrible and ferocious, I will have a lot of self-confidence, because these are things that can be seen and touched, and there will be a reaction to punching, kicking, and blasting the hammer.
So even if I was surrounded by these humanoid bones, I didn't turn around and run away, first, there were Tang Yuying and others in the rear, and they would suffer as soon as I ran, and second, I also wanted to test how strong my true strength was.
When facing Song Qian, I can only estimate a rough estimate, after all, Song Qian's strength is beyond the scope of human beings.
So when I compare with her, I am always pressed on the head, even if I can barely compete later, but I am never sure what level I have reached.
So in the face of these fierce white bones, I have a kind of mind to practice my hands.
Although these humanoid bones surrounded me in the very center, their speed was fast and slow.
Faster, they have rushed in front of me.
The humanoid bones attack in a simple, or rather primitive, way, they use their hands and feet together, like wild beasts, and pounce directly on me.
I was short, and I bowed my head decisively.
As I flashed, I swung my sword and slashed at the waist of the humanoid white bone with one hand.
With a "choking" sound, under my huge strength, the white bone was directly cut off by me.
The body was still in mid-air, and while it was still flying, it had already broken into pieces and fell to the ground.
The fragility of this human bone surprised me a little.
Before they had time to think about it, two more white bones pounced, and this time they used not only their hands and feet, but also their mouths and teeth.
It's a pity that their attack speed is not above my cordon, and I easily dodged the two attacks.
While dodging, I didn't hesitate to give them two more knives.
One in the chest and the other in the neck.
The two knives were both critical locations, and there was no accident, but when these two knives fell, the two humanoid white bones were immediately torn apart and fell to the ground, looking very fragile.
In just two seconds, I slashed a total of three times, except for the first one.
With the two knives in the back, I took out less than half of my strength.
If these humanoid bones were so fragile, even if they were doubled, I felt like I could handle it.
Just as he was thinking, more and more white bones pounced.
I didn't take it lightly, kept all my energy, and started to deal with this group of fierce bones.
Frontal collision, with the fragility of these white bones, I naturally will not be afraid, but I am afraid of being sneak attacked, after all, there are a lot of these white bones, in case I am successfully attacked by one of them from behind.
The situation will change in an instant, the advantage will turn into a disadvantage, and the end will never be much better.
Skeletons swooped down from all directions, and I dodged and slashed as I slashed.
With each swing of the knife, a white bone was cleaved.
The movements are crisp and neat, never dragging mud and water, and the strength is used just right, so as not to waste too much physical strength.
However, just as I was dexterously dodging the action, my feet suddenly tightened, as if I had tripped over something, and the huge inertia made my body stumble and almost fall to the ground.
It was this kind of stumbling that disrupted my fighting rhythm and gave the humanoid white bones a chance to take advantage of.
A white bone behind me slammed directly on my back, and the sharp phalanges pierced the skin muscles of my back, drawing out several deep blood marks.
Even my clothes were torn to shreds.
I gasped in pain, although the defense of these white bones was very weak, but the attack should not be underestimated, even if my physical strength had increased significantly, it was still unable to resist in front of their knife-like claws.
This blow gave me a profound lesson.
After the successful catch, the white bones behind me were unforgiving, and they bit me on the neck.
While steady, I plunged my backhand into its mouth, and then stirred it so hard that its teeth flew and its head fell to the ground in a heavy way.
As soon as his head hit the ground, his body shattered.
I* waved from side to side, and then I smashed the two white bones that had been robbed by the fire, and then I looked down at the soles of my feet.
It was just because I was tripped just now that I suffered such a dark loss.
When I focused my eyes on my ankles, my face changed.
Because I noticed that on my ankle, at some point, a skeletal palm appeared.
And the owner of this palm is one of the humanoid white bones that I have chopped up before.
The white bones that were shattered and scattered before are actually combined together again at this moment!
The white bones that grabbed my ankle were only half of my body at the moment, and to be exact, my upper body.
A monster made up of two hands, a head, and a few ribs and sternum.
And under the ribs, there is a bare patch.
Or rather, it's not completely pieced together.
Because I found that under this half of the skeleton, those broken bones were gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye, like blood flowing back, little by little returning to their previous positions, very accurate.
The whole process looks like stepping back in time.
Not only the white bones that grabbed my ankles, but also the ones I had split up before, were all being reassembled at the moment, and some of them had even recovered their bodies and rejoined the besieging army.
Seeing this, I couldn't help frowning.
After knowing the fragility of these bones, I was a little unimpressed.
After all, it shatters with a single knife, and I can't pay attention to it at all.
But now I realized that I was wrong, and I couldn't have been more wrong.
It is true that these bones are fragile, but their terrifying recovery ability has completely offset this weakness, and it is even more terrifying.
A formidable enemy, not terrible.
Terrible is an enemy that cannot be defeated.
And these humanoid white bones in front of him are obviously enemies that cannot be defeated.
Knocked down once, resurrected once, knocked down twice, resurrected twice, knocked down three times, resurrected three times.
If you repeat the cycle like this, it is almost impossible to kill.
In other words, these dozens of humanoid white bones can be regarded as hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of white bones.
Because no matter how much you split, how much they will be restored, endlessly, there is no end to it.
This...... It's the scariest part!
