Chapter 100: The Flame Demon (3)
【Bone Country/White Eagle Xuandu/Skeleton Roof/Secret Room】
Between the roof of the bones, in a circular secluded secret room, a man covered in bones and iron ropes knelt in the center of the secret room.
The man's body was pierced by iron cables in all directions, and his bony body was covered with blue-black incantations. The man's head hung down on his chest, and his long hair, untrimmed for some number of years, hung down on the ground in a circle, tangled together.
The man's back was arched, but there was no trace of the backbone, and the deformed and boneless back was chilling to look at.
The door of the secret room was pushed open, and the man's blackened fingers moved, and he slowly lifted his skeletal face, and an amber eye stared at the comer, and the hatred in his pupils was unforgettable.
"Imperial Brother Shao'an?" Xie Xuan'an asked with a smile.
I saw that the skeleton-like man ignored the pain of the iron lock and flesh, and rushed towards the young man in white.
The embroidered locks rubbed against his flesh and bones, making a foul sound, and bringing down a few pieces of stinking bloody flesh.
"Thank you...... Black...... Ann!" the skeleton man spoke, squeezing out the words between his jagged black and yellow teeth.
The voice in his throat was like the roar of a trapped beast.
"Brother Huang, it's time to dine. Xie Xuan'an ignored Xie Xuanyu's roar and the skeletal body struggling in the iron lock.
Xie Xuan'an was standing beside a tall bone clan, holding this small bucket in his hand. As soon as he raised his hand, a piece of something was thrown in front of Xie Xuanyu.
It was a black-and-red, worm-infested, stinking piece of carrion.
Xie Xuanyu moved his feet and approached the piece of meat, which was thrown where he was just desperately pulling the chains to reach.
The chains grinded against his bones, grinding and gurgling. Rust and flesh mixed together and fell to the ground.
He lowered his head and took it in his mouth, and swallowed it without changing his face.
His hateful gaze never left Xie Xuan'an's smiling face.
"Brother Huang. Xie Xuan'an said coolly, "I wanted to give you a good time, but when I succeeded to the throne, I promised the master not to kill you." Don't hold a grudge against your brother. ”
As he spoke, the bone clan beside him threw away another piece of raw worm carrion.
"I, Xie Xuanyu!" Xie Xuanyu shouted in a hoarse voice that rubbed against ordinary metal, "I am the rightful Emperor Xuan of the Bone Country!"
"But now, you don't even have the right to complain to your father. Xie Xuanan looked deeply regretful, "Master doesn't want you to die, so you can live honestly for his old man." ”
With that, Xie Xuan'an turned his head and left with the man beside him, ignoring Xie Xuanyu's scorching hateful gaze.
Just after Xie Xuan'an left, a black shadow jumped down from the top of the secret room.
The iron-chained skeleton was not surprised by the sudden black shadow that landed in front of him.
"Why don't you betray me, and use your Xuan power to hide my Xuan power aura?" Zhan Yun asked the man in front of him, Xie Xuanyu, the former Xuan Prince of the Bone Clan.
In the Xuandu, it is rumored that the Xuan prince Xie Xuanyu was absurd and overindulged, because he was addicted to the beauty of the slave and his energy was exhausted and half of his body was unsuccessful.
But who would have thought that this justifiable Prince Xuan was actually imprisoned by Xie Xuan'an at the bottom of this skeleton, with iron locks piercing his body, eating carrion and insect meat, and being tortured.
was also drained of his backbone, and his mystical power was completely wasted.
"Lao Tzu can't wait to add some mess to that bullshit!" Xie Xuanyu said indignantly, "It doesn't matter who is making trouble!"
"Does Prince Xuan want revenge?" Zhan Yun asked.
The skeleton man stretched out his hand to Zhan Yun: "You, come here." ”
As soon as Zhan Yun took a step forward, he was grabbed by the knobby hand and dragged in front of him.
That astonishing strength surprised the man from the Western Regions.
"Your body, skeleton, was a native of the Western Regions in your previous life, right?" Xie Xuanyu pinched Zhanyun's bones with both hands, "I don't know, how that guy turned you into a Bone Countryman, but I don't care if you were from the Western Regions before, and I don't care if you were a secret stake in the Western Regions!"
"I was plucked out of my backbone by that, and I was trapped here for an unknown number of days, and I didn't see the light of day. The skeleton man leaned against the war clouds and yelled at him, "I don't hate the Apocalypse now, I don't hate the Western Regions, I don't hate Duo Yiba old thief, I hate him Xie Xuan'an alone!"
"You ask me if I'm willing to take revenge, what kind of fucking bullshit joke is this! Lao Tzu doesn't want revenge, living this kind of bullshit life here? Eating the carrion thrown by that animal? Not wanting revenge, Lao Tzu has already bitten his tongue and killed himself to see my Bone Country!"
"That guy understands that I don't want to die, waiting for the opportunity to kill him, but he thinks Lao Tzu doesn't have the ability, I want to see it...... I'm here to see ...... People from the Western Regions, show me...... I, Xie Xuanyu, are waiting for something!"
After that, the furious Xuan Power of a secret room sprung up, and Zhan Yun was a little out of breath in this violent Xuan power.
"They all thought I was useless, they all thought I was useless!" Xie Xuanyu said with a smile, "I've been staying on the top of this underground skeleton for a long time, and I have been absorbing the mysterious power of the bones of my ancestors in the top of the skeleton every day, and now, I am missing a backbone!
【Bone Country/White Eagle Gento/A few days ago】
"Millennium Duke, before you leave the Bone Country and go to the ghost ship, can Zhan Yun make a deal with you one last time?"
"Oh, what else can you give me?" asked the millennium princess, raising an eyebrow.
"The ghost ship that the thousand-year-old prince wants to go to is an ownerless ship, but it haunts the great desert of the Western Regions. If the Millennium Duke is willing to agree to Zhan Yun's request, the Western Regions will take care of the Millennium Prince. Zhan Yun said.
"Hahaha......" Millennial Gong laughed.
This meaning is twofold.
If the Millennium Duke cooperates, the Western Regions will provide him with convenience. If the Millennium Gong does not cooperate, the ghost ship will still appear in the great desert of the Western Regions after all, and this care will become sour.
"These days, the princes of the Western Regions know how to threaten people?" the Millennium Gong exhaled a smoke ring, seeing that his face was not angry, "However, I like it." I just don't know what deal Childe wants to make again?"
"Between the top of the bones, the people who can use the war clouds. Between the apocalypse, the dark stakes planted by the bone country. Zhan Yun didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
"Is this to let Bengong leave the Bone Country, and turn around and step on the Bone Country?" said the Millennium Princess.
Zhan Yun looked at him fixedly, waiting for him to continue.
The Millennium Duke narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "The prince of the Zhan family, do you know that there are two of the top of this white vulture Xuandu?"
"I don't know. Zhan Yun shook his head and said truthfully.
"There are two on the top of the skeleton, one on the ground, which anyone can see, and one under the ground, which is upside down. It's like a mirror. Millennium Gong continued, "That part of the buried underground, there are surprises waiting for Childe. ”
"Anyway, the Bone Country also gave birth to me, and my father doesn't want to say it explicitly, so I'll give you a hint: between the top of the bones, there is a mysterious man with a mask, and a skeleton man wearing iron chains.
"One of them can be a friend, one of them can be an enemy, whether it is an enemy or a friend, the son himself decides.
"In the Western Regions Geshi Fort, there is a friend of Prince Xuan, and in the Canghuang Divine Palace, there is a hidden stake of the Bone Country.
"Finally, tell Childe one more thing, the secret technique of turning spiritual power into Xuan power, Prince Xuan used it before you. ”
"That's all this is said for the public, and the rest will be done by the son himself. With that, the millennium prince filled his pipe with more tobacco, lit it, and took a deep breath.
The two didn't speak again, the door was gently pushed open, and Yao Hong brought two trays, each with three dishes.
Heng Ji also held a pot of wine and followed closely.
The wine was slowly poured out in the woman's hand, and the millennium prince pushed it to Zhan Yun and made a gesture of please.
Zhan Yun smelled the sweet fragrance and took a sip.
Except for the sweet aroma, the wine tastes mellow and spicy, and it is clearly a dry ale wine from the Western Regions.
【Border of the Western Regions Bone Country/Present】
It's finally a bit rewarding. Thinking back to the skeleton-like Xuan Prince Xie Xuanyu, Zhan Yun thought to himself.
Zhan Yunyang spurred his horse, took advantage of the night to gallop out of the white vulture Xuandu, and ran towards the yellow sand he was familiar with.
Between the roof of the bones, there is a mysterious man wearing a mask, and a skeleton man wearing iron chains.
The skeleton man Zhanyun figured it out, but the masked man, Zhanyun missed it deeply.
When Zhan Yun finally found the masked man, he actually saw Heng Ji.
【Skeleton Top/A few days ago】
Heng Ji brought a pot of green smoke potion, and then took off the masked man's clothes.
"Did you crawl out again?" Heng Ji said in a low voice.
The masked man's body was covered with wounds that I didn't know if it was a knife or a sword.
The wound turned outward, not bleeding, but condensed into a charred purple, like a strange mouth.
The most terrifying thing is that dense dark red patterns crawled out of that mouth, inlaid on the man's body.
Heng Ji twisted the potion with a cloth and wiped the wounds on the man's body.
The scar was like a living thing, and it made a terrible cry under the cloth that seemed to be made by countless men, women, and children.
Zhan Yun listened to the terrifying cry, and the cold hair stood behind him.
Not only Zhan Yun, but even Heng Ji, who had heard this terrible cry more than once, was quite uncomfortable.
The masked man was even tighter, trembling, and drenched in cold sweat.
Zhan Yun narrowed his eyes and looked seriously at the dark red pattern, which seemed to move, trembling under the effect of the potion.
Then, little by little, it faded into the wound.
After the strange pattern on that body faded, the basin of green water turned dark red.
Although Zhan Yun couldn't see the face of the masked man, he also understood that the face under the mask was absolutely pale at the moment, as if he had experienced a catastrophe.
"Is this some kind of demonic spell?" Zhan Yun thought to himself.
When it comes to spells, Zhan Yun's first thought is Nan Ze. But Nan Ze Baibu, he really had never seen such a demonic and evil spell killing technique like a living creature.
"That man...... The man who only smiled weakly, I want him to understand that no one can control a piece of land forever!
I don't know if it's because I've just received treatment. The man's voice could be heard, and his confidence returned: "One day, I will return to the apocalypse and take back everything that belongs to me......!" Wait!Everybody's going to wait for me to come back!!"
Zhan Yun remembered the words of the Millennium Gong: Finally, tell Gongzi one more thing, the secret technique of transforming spiritual power into Xuan power, Prince Xuan has performed it before you.
This man is full of mystical power, and it seems that he is the one who has transformed into a bone clan like himself.
Zhan Yun just wanted to wait and see for a while to figure out the identity of this man, but unfortunately, he heard a series of familiar, unhurried footsteps.
It was the footsteps of Emperor Yelans.
Ye Lansi, Zhan Yun can definitely learn more valuable news, but he needs to take several times more risks.
This man's mysterious power is unfathomable, and he has been in the Bone Country for a long time, and he can't detect the tip of the iceberg of Yelansi's mysterious power.
Zhan Yun immediately made a choice in his heart, turned around and left quietly.
It's a long time coming. Zhan Yun said to himself, if he was discovered by Yelansi at this moment, the old lord, no, the old father would have died in vain.
