Chapter 357: The Night Thief's Revenant
Under the faint light of the fire, the two found that the color of the skeleton had changed from the original gray paste to beige, and the bone density was also tighter than before, as if the whole body was transforming towards jade!
And the grafted hand bones are more crystal clear and warm at this time, like mutton fat white jade, refracting a faint fluorescence!
Could this be the effect of absorbing souls?
Not only can it feed the flames in the skull's brain, but it can also carry it to change the texture of the bones?
"Wood, look, the texture of its bones has changed!" Wu Lin said as he tapped the skeleton's ribs lightly.
"Just like the evolutionary, these otherworldly skeletons should also have a hierarchy, and I feel that if I let it continue to absorb it, it may be able to transform into a new form." Wood speculated with a look of hope.
"That's a good idea, but the point is, don't you need soul energy too? Like opening that storage space! You can't leave all your limited souls to this skeleton, right? Wu Lin shook his head and said.
Wu Lin's words can be said to have poked at the tangled place of the wood.
Because his own strength is too weak, he can only go out by manipulating the skeleton, so that the absorbed soul will be directly fulfilled to the skeleton, although this is also a disguised improvement of strength, but the wood is faintly worried, because once the skeleton is not there, then he is still a weak chicken!
If nothing else, he didn't even have the ability to open that storage space again right now.
At this time, I heard Wu Lin continue, "By the way, can you use this skeleton as a transit station, let it go out to absorb soul energy, and then feed it back to you?" ”
Hearing this proposal, Wood's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll try it!" With that, he raised his palm and pressed it lightly on the smooth skull, trying to absorb the skeleton's soul energy in the same way that it absorbs the soul of a corpse.
However, after waiting for a while, the wood regretted to find that there was not a trace of soul energy transmitted back from the skeleton.
"Didn't it work? Why don't you give it an order and let it take the initiative to feed back? Wu Lin proposed again.
Hearing this, the wood that was already dead pressed his palm back to the top of the skeleton's head again, and then gave a suspicious order.
A few seconds later, seeing that the skeleton was still unresponsive, the wood sighed, and was just about to withdraw his palm, but saw that the blue flame in the skeleton's eyes was actually like "shrinking", and it suddenly shrank by half!
Immediately after, Mu felt a familiar soul energy quickly pour into his brain through the palm of his hand that was clinging to his skull!
After seeing the changes in the skeleton, Wu Lin happily asked, "It's done?" ”
"It fed back half of my soul energy, and now the tiredness in my mind is gone!" Wood nodded.
"Can you open that storage now?" Wu Lin asked nervously.
The wood picked the corners of his mouth, and then raised his hand to swipe it, and saw a black space crack, which appeared in front of the two of them again!
After the spatial crack was completely formed, the two did not recklessly burrow into it like last time, but sent skeletons who were not afraid of the cold to rummage through the supplies on their behalf.
Previously, due to the urgency of time, after the wood only took out a few materials, the spatial cracks closed and disappeared, and at this time, there were still many scattered materials in the huge space that had not been counted.
For example, in the corner of the space, four pairs of brand-new hiking boots are neatly arranged, as well as some unopened condiments......
After a while, the two found that although the things in the space were mixed, the only items that could be used at the moment were a few pairs of hiking boots.
Especially wood, after he was bitten off a cotton shoe by the tooth wolf, he was still barefoot, and when he saw that there were ready-made shoes in the space, he immediately asked the skeleton to throw out two pairs and couldn't wait to put them on. However, since the shoes are men's size, Wu Lin had to stuff a lot of cotton in them before she could put them on.
After putting on new shoes, the two of them planned to put all the sundries that they couldn't use for the time being back into the space so that they could travel lightly, but the cracks in the space flickered!
At the same time, there was a feeling of exhaustion from the brain's mind again!
It seems that the soul energy is still too little!
Seeing this, Wu Lin suddenly said, "Wood, how far is the effective distance you can control the skeleton?" ”
Wood rubbed his temples and said, "You'll have to try it to find out." ”
Seeing Wu Lin tilting her head at the sewer, Mu knew that her suggestion was definitely not out of curiosity, but must have a deep meaning, so he immediately sent the skeleton and leaned over to drill out.
Through testing, Wood determined that after the skeleton had walked nearly five hundred steps in a straight line, the spiritual connection between them began to feel like it was about to be broken. The height of the skeleton is about 1.65 meters, and if it is calculated according to its stride in the snow, 50 centimeters, the control distance should be less than 300 meters.
After informing Wu Lin of this result, she frowned and said, "Three hundred meters... It should be almost! Wood, let the skeletons try to see if they can find the lair of the storm bear within this range! ”
She didn't do this to hunt the bear, because the skeleton didn't have that strength yet.
Wu Lin's idea was that the amount of food that the violent bear eats every day should be not small, maybe there will be a lot of corpses and bones left near the cave, maybe it can absorb some remnant souls?
Due to the strong wind blowing after nightfall, the messy footprints left in the snow forest during the day have been smoothed out by the wind and snow, and only the huge palm prints pressed by the violent bear still have a trace at this time. After a while, the skeleton followed the footprints that were about to disappear, all the way to the lair of the violent bear.
I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, the nest where the violent bear lives is only more than 200 meters away from the hiding place of the wood.
On the bottom side of the pit, there is a semicircular hole more than two meters wide, which looks like the door beam of an abandoned building, and a dull snoring sound is faintly heard from this hole.
Around the entrance of the cave, there were a large number of bones scattered, some of which had been covered with snow, and only the broken stubble was still pierced outside the snow, while some of the bones seemed to have just been discarded, and the muscles that had not been gnawed off were attached to the broken bones, and there was still a red color.
For this kind of gnawed bones, the wood couldn't figure out whether it could still receive the dead soul, but as time passed, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the skeleton seemed to gradually become stronger!
However, in the next moment, Wood's brows furrowed tightly!
Because he felt that while the skeletons were absorbing the souls of the dead, they actually transmitted back a trace of the idea of resistance through the spiritual connection between them!
Before the wood could react, I saw the jade hand bone, emitting a faint fluorescence! The fluorescence snaked up the skeleton's arm, and when it touched the blue flames in the skeleton's skull, the skeleton that wanted to "resist" immediately surrendered again!
At the same time, the sleeping bear seemed to sense something, and the regular snoring stopped abruptly, and then a roar came from inside the cave!
Seeing this, the skeleton hurriedly climbed up the pit and disappeared into the dense forest without looking back.
