Chapter 48: The City That Never Sleeps (8)
"Uh, is it okay here?" Ai Yue asked quietly.
Eren nodded, and threw the bone in his hand hard in front of the tree.
The bone that should have been broken into two pieces by Eren has been restored to its original state at some point.
Then Eren gently brushed the snow beneath him until the yellowing grass was revealed.
After doing all this, Elian lay down on the grass lightly, and then pressed her ears against the ground.
He closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes.
Forty minutes.
Time passed minute by minute, but Elian didn't feel anything. At this time, he was like a lurking beast, quietly waiting for the arrival of his prey.
Just after Ai Yue and Naya yawned a few times, Ai Lian suddenly opened her eyes.
Here it comes!
A slight tremor on the ground told Eren that the man he was waiting for had finally arrived.
After Ai Yue and Naya saw Ai Lian's reaction, they also obediently quieted down.
The three of them lay quietly on the snow behind the tall grass, like preoccupied old hunters, motionless and waiting for their prey to take the bait.
Knock - Knock -
With a slight tremor of the ground, the sound of a boulder rolling on the ground gradually became louder.
In a few moments, the sound was loud enough to shake the snow off the canopy.
Ai Yue and Naya held their breath, in their opinion, it would be a big guy coming.
Fortunately, there was no wind and snow tonight, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the snow, through the interaction between the moonlight and the snow. The land is almost as bright as it is in the daytime.
A dark figure suddenly appeared at the end of the path, and from a distance, it was a humanoid figure.
As the black shadow of the human figure gradually approached, the black shadow also grew bigger and bigger, and every time he stepped on the snow, he always splashed a large amount of snow foam. From a distance, it looks like a rampaging beast.
Soon, the figure came under the tree, and he stopped, anxiously searching for something.
The three of them slowly poked their heads out, and under the illumination of the moonlight, they could clearly see the appearance of the black shadow.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the three of them was a pair of hands as white as jade.
What kind of hands are these, although they still look like human hands, and the knuckles are distinct, but the fingers reveal the white light of the forest, which is eerie and terrifying. It was a fleshless hand, pale like the faces of Naya and Aiyue.
What appeared in front of the three of them was a snow-white skeleton.
The appearance of the skeleton is definitely the most perfect skeleton that Elian has ever seen, there is no crack or fracture on the body, and under the light of the moon, the white skeleton looks so... Beautiful.
Eileen estimated that this skeleton "Miss" should be regarded as a beauty of the skeleton clan.
"Ahh Mmmmmm As for Naya, she had just been stunned.
However, even if Ai Lian covered Ai Yue's mouth in time, there was still a trace of movement. Fortunately, the skeleton "Miss" didn't notice Erian and them, and it should be said that its attention was not on this side at all.
The snow-white skeleton was just pulling around in the snow, and from its red light sockets, Elian could tell the anxiety in its heart.
Of course, it is impossible for Elian to run up to this skeleton "Miss" and say, "Beautiful Miss, is there anything you need my help with?"
Besides, the skeleton "Miss" is looking for something Ai Lian already has in his heart, if he guessed correctly, the skeleton "Miss" is looking for its "heart".
That's right, the fragile bone that Ai Yue found before was the "heart" of the skeleton in front of him.
Although the skeleton "Miss" in the moonlight was intact from top to bottom, the sharp-eyed Ai Lian still saw a trace of fracture under the bones on his appearance.
That location happens to be the part of the heart.
As for the bone that was thrown into the snow by Elian before, it was the reason why the skeleton "Miss" in front of him came in such a hurry.
Ai Lian didn't make a move, what he wanted was not to eliminate harm for the people, but a way.
And this road is on the skeleton in front of you.
Finally, the skeleton, which had been anxiously groping for a while, finally found the bone under the big tree, because it was covered by the snow that had fallen from the big tree before, so the bone was buried directly in the snow.
Ai Lian estimated that there was a subtle connection between this bone and the skeleton, otherwise if he found a snow-white bone in this vast snow, he would have to find the old man of the world.
However, this bone itself belongs to the skeleton, and it is the most important part, so it is inevitable that there will be a connection.
The skeleton that found the bone couldn't wait to put it back on its body, and then sat down on top of the snow.
As soon as the bones enter the skeleton's body, it is as if they have returned home. Silvery-white filaments grew from both sides of the bone, slowly connecting the bone with its fracture.
Ailian's eyes lit up, he guessed correctly, sure enough, only this bone could lead to the skeleton in front of him.
When Ai Yue handed over the bone to Ai Lian, in order to show it to Ai Yue and Naya, he specially broke the bone into two parts, but the bone that became two pieces actually slowly grew filaments at the broken place, and then slowly connected the broken bones.
At that time, Eren guessed that the bone was not something from a dead thing.
It's really alive!
Since it's a living thing, it's easy to do.
But any living being, whether it is humans, birds, animals or even microorganisms, will have a trace of desire in their hearts. It's as if humans want power and power, birds want nesting branches, animals want a hearty dinner, and so on.
As long as there is desire, there must be shortcomings.
And at this point, even a skeleton that looks like it has been dead for a long time is not exempt from vulgarity.
The white bones slowly fused with the skeleton, and at this moment, the red light in the skeleton's eyes gradually turned into a small flame that burned brightly and dimly.
Ai Lian and Ai Yue looked at the skeleton in front of them, and even Naya, who had fainted, slowly woke up at this moment.
Soon, the fire in the skeleton's eyes calmed down, and then what surprised Eren began.
The skeleton, for some reason, began to grow flesh and blood.
A blood-red moon quietly appeared, and the blood-red light shone on the snow, and for a moment the whole world turned red.
"How could it be him?"
Just as Ai Lian squinted at the blood moon in the sky, Naya, who had been silent, suddenly covered her mouth and shouted.
A red gaze swept sharply over the bushes where the three of them were, and then the large bushes burned violently as if they had been ignited by flames.
