Chapter 30: The Bone Demon
The Bone Spirit Pagoda trembled slightly, and after hearing Shen Ling's words, the twelve sealed Bone Demon corpses immediately became calm!
"Did you kill the little snake? Damned Terrans, despicable ants! ”
"You don't have to die well, I'm going to dismantle you in eight pieces, no, eighteen pieces!"
"Made, what's the use of you killing him? Can a dragon head snake be resurrected? Can we escape? ”
"Run? The Bone Spirit Tower is set up for us, and if we can't absorb the blood of the real dragon, we can only be a corpse forever! ”
...
The Bone Demons began to shout, but Shen Ling was not affected in the slightest, and calmly approached the Bone Spirit Tower.
Finally, he reached the bottom of the tower and walked straight in.
"He's in! That Terran! ”
"What a bold man, but not afraid of us?"
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? How many rotten bones? Crack someone up! ”
"Don't laugh! Don't you wonder why this Terran found this place and seems to recognize us? ”
After these words, the bones of the demon corpse fell silent at the same time.
Since being sealed in the spirit ruins, in the long years, the Bone Spirit Pagoda has been silent in this mysterious cave, the Xuanzhen Continent has long been out of legends about them, if the young dragon-headed Xuanwen python did not accidentally break in, these bone demon corpses will probably have been dead here for the rest of their lives.
As the Dragon's Head Pattern Python grew up day by day, the Bone Demon's ambition to escape from the Bone Spirit Tower also began to swell, after all, who didn't yearn for a free and easy life?
As long as you wait patiently for another five hundred years, the dragon-headed Xuanwen python can transform from a big demon into a demon king, that is, a real dragon clan, with the true dragon bone blood, the seal will be lifted immediately, and the nourished bone demon corpse can be successfully resurrected and restore a strong body!
But now...
This little human race in front of them actually killed their only hope of resurrection!
Who is he? Where is he from? What is his true purpose?
A series of questions swirled in the remaining consciousness of the bone demons, and they couldn't help but feel indescribable fear.
At this time, Shen Ling had already taken steady steps and slowly paced to the center of the first floor of the Bone Spirit Pagoda.
The tower is actually hollow, and when you look up from the bottom, you can look directly through the top of the tower.
In the prominent position of each floor, there is a skeleton in the form of a non-human race, some with three heads and six arms, some covered with spikes, and some with something similar to a turtle shell on its back, which looks quite strange.
The reason why they call them bone demons is because even if they lose their physical bodies and primordial spirits, bones will never perish, and they can also preserve their consciousness and be resurrected at the right time.
Such a tenacious ancient demon can only be reluctantly suppressed by using the innate spirit weapon Bone Spirit Tower, plus the Tongtian Pillar, but he didn't expect that they would still be able to take advantage of the loophole.
Shen Ling sighed with emotion, if it weren't for the guidance of the "Book in Dreams", he would not have been able to find the secret realm here anyway.
According to the original plot, five hundred years later, the bone demons sucked the blood of the true dragon and resurrected, vowing to be ashamed and turn the Xuanzhen Continent upside down. Countless powers couldn't even pass a single move under their hands, and after the claws of the major sects were bloodied, they stretched out to the world, and hundreds of millions of mortals were slaughtered because of this, and the Xuanzhen Continent suddenly became a hell on earth.
Of course, there is the absolute protagonist Ye Bufan, and the Heavenly Illusion Sect is as stable as Mount Tai.
Ye Bufan, who had already become the sect master, was not in a hurry to deal with the bone demons too early, and even secretly reached a contract with them.
Waiting for the blood to flow into rivers, the mountains and rivers to change color, and the leaders of the major sects kneeling down one after another to surrender, Ye Bufan "reluctantly" cheered up, instantly tore up the contract with the bone demons, completely wiped them out, and became a great hero who "saved all the people from fire and water".
In the final analysis, these bone demons are at best just a small copy of the protagonist's immortal cultivation road. Walking on the souls of countless people who lost their lives in the Xuanzhen Continent, Ye Bufan finally became the first person in the immortal cultivation realm and was praised by all generations.
At this time, when Shen Ling looked at these demons again, he actually felt a little pity for them.
Under the absolute aura of the protagonist, who is just a pawn in his hands?
No.
I, Shen Ling, don't believe in this evil!
Thinking of this, Shen Ling suddenly smiled:
"In the Heavenly Illusion Sect Shen Ling, I accidentally killed your pets, I'm really sorry..."
As soon as these words came out, a skeleton immediately scolded:
"Heavenly Illusion Sect? Haven't heard of it. Boy, you have wasted two thousand years of energy in vain, how can this account be calculated? ”
"How else can it be calculated, of course, it will be repaid with his blood!"
"Yes, yes! Trapped here for so long, I haven't tasted fresh blood for a long time, if you're sincere enough, kill yourself right away and drain every drop of blood on your body, chatter..."
In the face of these pale and powerless "threats", Shen Ling certainly couldn't stupidly sacrifice his precious qi and blood to them.
Instead, he was ready to subdue these bone demons and use them for his own use!
"Since I can find this place, I naturally have a way to save you. The thoughts of the predecessors are very clear, after all, he is an ancient demon, how can he be willing to be trapped in prison? ”
Shen Ling was not afraid, and said indifferently. At the same time, he looked at the most majestic of the twelve skeletons.
It was obviously the elder brother of the Bone Demon, unlike the other brothers, who didn't spit out a word easily from beginning to end.
But hearing Shen Ling's words, it couldn't hold back anymore and asked:
"Boy, I agree with the second half of your sentence, that's right, we Bone Demon Twelve Brothers don't want to leave here all the time. But in the first half of your sentence, the old man didn't dare to agree. The Bone Spirit Tower is an ancient innate spiritual weapon, unless the suppressed person has the blood of the divine beast to lift the seal, it is impossible to regain his freedom, you are a weak human race, where did you get the blood of the divine beast? ”
The remains of the twelve bone demons all looked at the center of the bottom of the tower, the small human race.
A shrill laugh echoed from the tower, and if these bone demons had a physical body, their appearance at this time must have been full of mockery.
Joke!
As a despicable human race, an inferior creature whose life is as short as an autumn worm, he actually spoke such wild words!
Divine beasts are nothing more than innate gods born from chaos such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, and they have almost died since the great war at the end of antiquity.
Unless there is an evolvable demon beast like the Dragon's Head Xuanwen Python, it is impossible to have the blood of a divine beast at all!
"Who said that to lift the seal, you must have the blood of the divine beast?" Shen Ling said coldly.
The Bone Demon Leader was stunned for a moment, and immediately quieted down the other Bone Demons.
"Boy, you're right, in addition to the blood of the divine beast, there is another way to break the seal. Hmph, you don't really think that the old man will believe that you have the unsealing mantra of the Bone Spirit Tower, right? ”
In fact, Shen Ling had already predicted the development of the plot, and even memorized the unsealing formula of the Bone Spirit Pagoda that appeared in the book!
The Protoss who sealed the Bone Demon at the beginning must not have expected that this mantra rotten in his stomach would reappear in the next life!
"Senior, Shen has never liked to tell lies, in order to prove my sincerity, I am willing to test it for you..."
As he spoke, Shen Ling's mind swayed, and he muttered in his mouth, reciting a difficult text from memory.
The Bone Spirit Tower, which had been silent for countless years, actually began to tremble slightly!
All the bone demons could feel the loosening of the seal, and the pain suppressed on them instantly decreased a lot!
The mantra is true, this kid can really save us!
At the critical moment when the seal was lifted, the mantra came to an abrupt end.
The Bone Demon Leader was almost in a frenzy and shouted:
"Why stop? Go on, go on! ”
"It's okay to continue, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. You are demons, born to kill, if I agree to you so easily, when you regain your freedom, the first person to kill will be me, right? ”
"Hmm... You're right. The Bone Demon Leader is also realistic, "So, if you let us go, we promise not to kill you, how about it?" ”
"Guaranteed? How is it guaranteed? Unless..."
"Unless what? Say it quickly! The Bone Demon Leader was obviously afraid that he would repent.
Shen Ling chuckled, "Unless, the twelve of you brand your Yuan Shen and serve me as the master, I will immediately lift the seal." ”
The Bone Demon Leader was stunned for a moment, and then laughed fiercely:
"Genshin brand? So your real purpose is to make me and others your slaves? It's just wishful thinking! ”
"Big brother, don't promise him!"
"I don't want to be driven by a human race, I feel humiliated just thinking about it!"
In the Bone Spirit Tower, the bone demons were unanimous and resolutely refused to agree to Shen Ling's conditions.
"Okay, the seniors are bothered, Shen is leaving..."
Shen Ling arched his hand, and then turned around and walked out of the tower without hesitation.
When he counted to five, as expected, the Bone Demon Leader stopped him in a panic:
"Wait... Wait a minute! ”
"Oh? Is there anything else going on with the seniors? Shen Ling said deliberately.
"Your condition, let me think about it..."
