Chapter 381: Broken Bone Mountain
Before leaving the front line, Huo Hai had already caught some people and asked them specifically. There is no big problem in the eastern frontier of Nanyun Country now, and the entire war has basically tended to be stable.
It seems that Nagumo is increasing its forces in an attempt to recapture the eastern frontier. Although Dongjiang is still in the erosion of Fengyang Country, the situation is basically much more stable. Among them, Huo Hai's contribution is very large. Since there is no problem for the time being, Huo Hai has no way to go back. Only then did he feel relieved to walk towards the depths of the Fengyang Country.
Huo Hai is a native of Nanyun Country, so naturally he does not have a detailed map of Fengyang Country. It's just that on the way, Huo Hai got a rough map. This map is absolutely civilian, and there is no detail at all.
The map itself is not so accurate, it is completely carved by hand with experience. However, the place of Broken Bone Mountain is still relatively famous in the local area, and Huo Hai asked some passers-by and found the way.
Two days later, Huo Hai carefully hid his whereabouts all the way, and finally came to the vicinity of Broken Bone Mountain. At this point, Huo Hai can finally relax. This is the territory of Fengyangguo, and Huo Hai is really worried that he will be discovered. If you are found on enemy territory, the end is definitely not much better. Huo Hai released the Star Gu and began to probe the Broken Bone Mountain.
Broken Bone Mountain, sure enough, is no different from the legend, the small hillside is full of broken bones. The so-called Broken Bone Mountain is not a real mountain, just an ordinary hill, because there are too many bones, so it will be named.
At the edges, many corpses were slowly decomposing. Recently, because of the outbreak of demonic disasters, wars have continued, and many people have died. The large cemetery of Broken Bone Mountain has naturally become a mass grave.
Bodies in a large area of the vicinity are thrown to this place as long as no one claims them. Even Huo Hai found that there seemed to be a demon manufacturing base nearby. Because many of these corpses are half-demons who failed to make and died. These corpses are very easy to identify, and there are many similarities between them and the demons.
But some places are more deformed, and the changes are not very complete, which is a sign of failure. If it weren't for the trouble of transporting corpses further afield, there would definitely be more than a few corpses here.
As soon as he got closer, Huo Hai smelled a strong smell of corpses. I'm afraid the plague is already breeding here. If it weren't for the spirit master, ordinary people would dare to approach this kind of place casually. Huo Hai shook his head, jumped in shape, and entered the mountain of broken bones.
As we left the edge and gradually entered the interior of the Mountain of Broken Bones, the stench of corpses finally dissipated. From here, there are no corpses in sight, this is the place where the corpses were placed a long time ago, and now it is a pile of bones.
Most of the bones are not very complete, and many of these bones have been shattered as the years go by, and the squeezing of a large number of bones on them. This made Huo Hai feel as if he had returned to the place where he had met the dryad. The difference is that the range here is greater. And in this place, there is no presence of the Dryad.
"Strange, where is it, why can't I find it. Huo Hai's brows furrowed, constantly searching for everything around him. At the beginning, from the knotted insects, Huo Hai knew that there were special insects in the country.
But now, this special insect can't be found, isn't it in Broken Bone Mountain. This is not possible, although Huo Hai doesn't know how Huo Yan and the others came to Fengyang Country, but the knots will not deceive themselves.
If it weren't for absorbing the bones secreted by these insects, the exoskeletons of Huo Yan and the others really wouldn't have been able to reach such a hard level. Afterwards, when Huo Hai let the Star Gu eat it, he realized how tough these exoskeletons were. The attack of the general spirit general realm master may only make them injured, and the skin of the exoskeleton will not be too damaged.
According to the memory of the knotworm, all this was done because of the absorption of the special bone here. Huo Hai moved forward as he let the Star Gu rummage. But after searching for a long time, I found a lot of insects, but I didn't see a single one I needed.
"It's weird, where the hell is it. The bones here look strange, as if they naturally grow like this......" Huo Hai's eyes suddenly widened, and he seemed to think of something in his heart.
Back and forth, Huo Hai had already seen a lot of strangely shaped bones, which would not have grown like this under normal circumstances. But Huo Hai was looking for a bone eater, which was the name Huo Hai himself gave to the insect.
There are so many spirit insects in the world, and many spirit insects don't have their own names at all. Since it was discovered by Huo Hai himself, the natural name is Huo Hai's own decision. Because he was looking for something, he didn't notice these bones, and now Huo Hai finally found out that something was wrong. This is the Mountain of Broken Bones, there are a lot of bones here, there are a lot of broken bones here, and there is no problem with that.
But the biggest question is, what kind of spirit beast produces such strange bones. If it's artificially made, who wouldn't have done anything to do this kind of thing here? What is the benefit of this, who can have such a craft.
These bones are completely self-growing, which is not something that ordinary techniques can imitate. It is all the more strange that these bones have not broken for such a long time. Huo Hai came to a bone sculpture.
Then, using his spiritual power, he punched this bone hard. A dull "bang" sound came from the bone that Huo Hai hit, but this bone did not even have a single crack. This hardness has reached the strength of the bones of the spirit realm, and it is also a very hard one.
If it had existed for such a long time, the hardness of the bones would still reach this level, and such bones would have been thrown here casually by people in the past. I'm afraid that even if you get Nanyun Kingdom, the value of bones of this hardness is very high.
If this kind of bone is so hard when it is fresh, then who would be so bored to throw these bones into the depths of the mountain of broken bones. Huo Hai tried some other bone sculptures again, but to Huo Hai's surprise, these bones were all the same. This phenomenon is so strange that it is very suspicious.
"How did this thing come about, the whole body is completely a whole piece, could it be that these are made of bones secreted by bone eaters. Huo Hai silently thought in his heart, maybe there was such a possibility.
Thinking of this, Huo Hai immediately began to look for it under the bones. If this thing was really made by the Bone Eater, then the Bone Eater is definitely around here. If you don't have it on the ground, then go underground and find it.
Huo Hai gave an order and ordered the Star Gu to start digging, and the entire bone sculpture was dug up. The Star Gu kept digging underneath, even turning the entire ground over. What Huo Hai didn't expect was that there were so many broken bones here. After the Star Gu completely excavated it, it was found that the bones here were actually several meters thick.
Further down is the ground. The ground was later buried with bones due to the long-term effects of decomposing corpses. At this time, the ground was already barren, and the geology became very strange, but these were not what Huo Hai had to pay attention to.
What made Huo Hai depressed was that until now, he had not found any special bugs. To be precise, none of the insects found by Huo Hai were able to secrete bone, or even feed on bones.
What the hell is going on, is there really not something here? But if not, how did those strange bone sculptures come about? It was like a strange bone growing upside down, one by one, like a cargo shelf. This strange bone shape, but there is no trace of man-made, is really strange.
Huo Hai sat on the ground, watching the Star Gu people busy, but he didn't find anything. In an extremely irritable mood, he punched the bone next to him. What Huo Hai didn't notice was that this punch was in the same position as the previous hit.
A slight sound sounded, and Huo Hai was suddenly stunned. Hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the bones. Although the hardness of the bones is high, it can't be compared to Huo Hai, two attacks to one position, and the bones crack a gap.
Of course, this is not the place to get Huo Hai's attention. What really surprised Huo Hai was that after he punched down just now, a very peculiar aura actually emerged from the cracked bones. This breath made Huo Hai feel a kind of insect breath weirdly. As an insect spirit master who mainly focuses on insects, Huo Hai is naturally extremely sensitive to insects.
Unexpectedly, there would be insects in the bones, and Huo Hai seemed to think of something. Hurriedly got up, his fist kept swinging out, and the bones in front of him were shattered after a while. Among the shattered bones, Huo Hai finally found what he wanted.
"Haha Huo Hai looked through the bone fragments. Finally, I found that among these bone fragments, there were some small threads as thick as hair, and the whole body was crystal clear. The threads are still moving. And this kind of bug is exactly what Huo Hai is looking for.
A bone-eating bug, a special bug that feeds on bones and is even capable of synthesizing bones and then re-secreting them into stronger bones. When Huo Hai found these bugs, he immediately put some bugs on top of the other bones.
Sure enough, Huo Hai found that these insects began to devour bones little by little. Because the body itself is relatively small, the speed of devouring bones is not very fast. But under Huo Hai's observation, this devouring can still be found. On the surface of the body, some very strange mucus is secreted. The mucus was as white and crystal clear as the bones, and it was slowly flowing down.
