Chapter 2: The Temple of Bones

For monks, the best moment of the day to practice is actually the moment when the sun rises in the morning, not only because the aura at this moment is the most pure, but also because at this moment of cultivation can affect some inexplicable qi in heaven and earth, although these qi are weak and ethereal, but by chance, they will also bring people some subtle insights.

Ling Mo sat cross-legged on the altar and absorbed the last trace of purple qi between heaven and earth, this purple qi only existed at the moment when the sun rose, it was extremely rare, and many people with low spiritual sense could not even feel its existence in their lifetime. Ling Mo had already been able to feel the existence of this purple qi when he was ten years old, and since then he would absorb this special energy whenever he had the opportunity, and with the accumulation of a long time, Ling Mo could also feel the benefits of these purple qi for his soul.

After the sun rose, Ling Mo stopped cultivating, he stood up and looked around, but to Ling Mo's disappointment, all he could see were lush ancient trees and forests, and there was no human population at all.

"Where the hell did the old man teleport me, he won't just throw me in the middle of nowhere!"

Thinking of this possibility, Ling Mo shuddered, according to Ling Haochen's character, there was really this possibility.

But there was nothing he could do, even if he really threw himself into the border wilderness, he could only admit it, Ling Mo jumped off the altar and walked towards the southeast.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Ling Mo finally felt that something was wrong when he swept away the dead branches in front of him, looking at the ashes in front of him, isn't this the place where he just roasted that rabbit!? This is the second time he has walked back to this place.

For the monk to lose his way is a joke, then it can only be said that it is the problem of this place. Ling Mo looked at this forest carefully, the trees here were surprisingly tall for some reason, but he didn't feel the fluctuation of the aura on these trees, which could basically rule out the interference of the trees.

Ling Mo squatted down and gently put his hand on the ground, carefully releasing his qi and not changing anything. Ling Mo did not lose heart and still slowly released his qi, and after a few breaths, it finally had an effect, and the originally plain black ground actually emitted fluorescent, fluorescent into filaments and hooked up with each other.

Ordinary people may not understand what this is, but Ling Mo clearly knows that this is the context of the formation, and the fluorescence emitted by this is actually the embodiment of the operation of the aura in the formation.

This method of using aura to perceive the existence of the formation Ling Mo had mastered it very early, and it was thanks to Ling Haochen. When Ling Mo was very young, Ling Haochen threw away a lot of various books, scriptures and the like, and the necessary requirement was that he must be familiar with all of them, and because of this, the things that Ling Mo mastered were also quite complicated, which naturally included the formation aspect.

Of course, Ling Mo also showed a talent in the formation that satisfied Ling Haochen.

After drawing out a corner of the formation, Ling Mo cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the fluorescent line, leaving a mark, urging an ancient method to sense the direction of the formation.

The moment he sensed it, Ling Mo sensed that something was wrong, there were many places in the formation where the spiritual energy would no longer circulate there, or a large area could not be sensed at all, it was estimated that this formation had been damaged for a long time. Fortunately, this formation was already broken, otherwise he would not have been able to get the desired result quickly, Ling Mo thought to himself. Although it was not very clear, it still roughly sensed the direction of the center of the formation.

Walking with the center of the formation on his back, if nothing else, he would definitely be able to get out of the area of the formation, but Ling Mo was not a peaceful person, and now he wanted to know what was in this center.

Having made up his mind, Ling Mo got up and headed in the direction of the center.

It turned out that following the formation was really a good choice, and he didn't take any more unjust paths, and after about half a pillar of incense, Ling Mo came to the central area.

The moment he saw the central area, Ling Mo was obviously shocked by the scenery in front of him.

In the vast forest, there was a clearing that I could not see at a glance, this land was barren, and the earth was a terrifying dark red, and it seemed that I could still taste the smell of blood in the air for a long time.

Ling Mo immediately understood, this land was stained red with blood!, but what happened to this land could cause such a situation!?

Ling Mo didn't think much about it, and continued to walk towards the center, the shadow of a tall building gradually revealing in the distance.

That building was really big, when it was still nearly a thousand meters away, Ling Mo could see the dazzling white, judging from his appearance, it should be a huge ancient palace, but what was the white that caught the eye? Ling Mo suddenly thought of a possibility, as soon as this idea came out, he was startled, it couldn't be completely made of white bones!

This thought suddenly made Ling Mo stunned, and he was even more careful under his feet, this place had such a big maze on the periphery alone, Ling Mo would never believe that he was about to reach the central area but had no defense.

Sou!

A white shadow suddenly came out of the ground and grabbed Ling Mo's ankle, Ling Mo instantly sensed his appearance, did not dodge, raised his leg and kicked at the white shadow like a whip.

Click!

A crisp sound of broken bones came from under his feet, and Ling Mo could see clearly what that white shadow was, it was actually a white bone arm!

The moment Ling Mo kicked this arm off, there was a greater movement in the dark red ground under his feet, and another bone arm stretched out, but instead of grabbing him again, he held on to the ground and struggled.

Ling Mo instantly understood what he was going to do, there was something to come out of underneath!

He didn't try to stop it, Ling Mo just took a few steps back and stopped and waited quietly for that thing to come out, he was really curious about what strange things would exist in this strange place, and judging from the attack of the bone arm just now, the strength of this thing was not strong.

As if he was getting rid of some shackles, the thing that attacked him pulled his whole body out of the ground with difficulty, yes, like pulling a carrot.

Now Ling Mo finally knew what this was, what appeared in front of him was a tall humanoid skeleton, this skeleton was a foot tall, and he didn't know what race it was. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is his white skeleton, like a work of art, the skeleton is snow-white and warm, who would have thought that there would be such a presence in this blood-stained dark red land.

The tall skeleton didn't care about Ling Mo's emotion, and as soon as he broke free from the ground, he waved a one-arm and pounced on Ling Mo, Ling Mo was thinking of trying the strength of this skeleton, and swung his fist to meet it.

Click!

There was another sound of bone breaking, and it came from the skeleton's arm again, Ling Mo's fist was intact, but the skeleton's only remaining one-arm was almost useless, the entire fist was completely shattered under the impact, and dense cracks appeared in the bone arm.

The skeleton didn't seem to be aware of the damage it had suffered at all, and after a blow, it rushed up again, probably judging the skeleton's strength, Ling Mo didn't leave his hand to kick horizontally, just kicked the skeleton away in one fell swoop.

Ling Mo really didn't expect that the strength of this skeleton would be so weak, the strength exerted by that skeleton just now was not even comparable to the Xuan First Order, at most it was like a relatively strong ordinary person, and that strange skeleton body didn't bring him any help, was that it?

Of course, it was impossible for things to end so simply, the various parts of the skeleton that had just been kicked apart by Ling Mo actually took the initiative to turn together, as if they had their own lives, and in the blink of an eye, the tall figure appeared in front of Ling Mo's eyes again, but it was missing a fist and an arm.

As soon as the skeleton took shape, it pounced on Ling Mo again, and the result was still the same, turning into a pile of parts in the blink of an eye.

The magical scene happened again, and the skeletons that had been dismantled into parts were put together again, only this time the skeletons were even more mutilated.

Ling Mo noticed that the two recombinations of the bone parts that he had broken did not appear on the skeleton's body again, and it seemed that they had lost the ability to reorganize.

In order to verify this idea, Ling Mo pinched off all the important bones on his body like an eagle's claws this time, and his skull was left with five finger holes.

Sure enough, this time the skeleton didn't move again, and the guess was right, all the parts destroyed by the external force will lose the ability to reorganize.

Before he could take a breath, there was a strange change in the ground under Ling Mo's feet again, as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest, and almost at the same time, more than a dozen bone arms stretched out from the ground and grabbed Ling Mo, but he dodged it.

I seem to have really poked a hornet's nest this time. ”

Ling Mo muttered, because not only his feet, but also the areas that Ling Mo could see had smooth bone arms stretching out, and there were many skeletons struggling to get out of the soil.

After glancing around, Ling Mo rushed towards the direction of the main hall without hesitation, since he had come here, Ling Mo was not willing to give up, not to mention that the outside of the main hall was so weird, there might be something more interesting inside.

Ling Mo rushed towards the direction of the main hall as if releasing a signal, the skeletons everywhere became even more furious, more arms stretched out from the ground trying to grab Ling Mo, and many skeletons that had already drilled out roared silently and rushed towards Ling Mo.

The strength of these skeletons is very weak, and even the strongest one is the second order of the Xuan, but there are so many of them! No matter how good Ling Mo is, it is only the strength of the fourth order of the Xuan, and he is still 108,000 miles away from the realm where he is almost not afraid of siege, he doesn't want to be trapped in the pile of skeletons.

Ling Mo no longer kept it from the beginning, his hands were either fists or palms that bombarded forward, and the skeletons in front of him were scattered almost at the touch of a button. Ling Mo's situation was also not optimistic, because the focus was on the speed of advancement, the skeletons that were hit by Ling Mo basically did not suffer any fatal damage, and after a while, they reorganized and joined the pursuing army again. Ling Mo raised his foot and kicked away a skeleton tiger that wanted to sneak attack him, this kind of monster beast does not have many skeletons but is very good at sneak attacks, it may be nothing in normal times, but in this race against time, it still caused Ling Mo a lot of trouble.

"Humph!"

Ling Mo forcibly slapped him on the back and smashed away a skeleton that was blocking in front of him, and rushed forward a few more steps before suddenly stopping, because he suddenly realized that these skeletons were not chasing! They all stopped a few steps away and looked at themselves quietly, as if it wasn't them who were still frantically biting themselves just now.

Only then did Ling Mo suddenly realize that he had come to the foot of the main hall, these skeletons had all stopped at thirty zhang around the main hall, and the water surrounding this place was impassable, but none of them dared to step into the thirty zhang, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking them.

Ling Mo looked back at this hall, a chill arose, he was right, this hall was really completely made of various bones, and the ancient hall that was dozens of zhang high and extremely huge didn't know how many creatures had been buried.

Glancing at the already dense army of skeletons again, he smiled bitterly, there was no way out, although this result was chosen by Ling Mo himself.

After a simple breath, Ling Mo no longer hesitated, and walked around the ancient hall, the next thing was to find his door.
