Chapter 14: The Bone Demon
The huge skeleton was the strange bone demon that had shown hostility towards Shen Mu before, and it had taken the lead in withdrawing from the battle between the wolf clan and the pig clan in the territory battle a few days ago, so it did not encounter what happened later.
However, a few days later, I don't know what means, I caught up with Shen Mu in the vast mountains and seas, which shows that the ability to track and hide is excellent.
If it weren't for Shen Mu's keen perception of the changes in the ground behind him yesterday, I am afraid that this bone demon would continue to follow him for a while, and when he was sure to kill him, he would secretly kill him.
And the reason why the bone demon followed all the way was also obvious, it coveted Shen Mu's body, a powerful body that seemed to be never tireless.
"Ancient books record that bone demons generally have a low IQ before they grow brains. Sure enough, what the book says is right. Because, if you were smarter, you wouldn't dare provoke me. ”
Shen Mu smashed into the air with a punch, and he was not angry, he didn't expect this punch to hurt the other party.
The bone demon had not grown a complete language structure, so it could not answer Shen Mu's words, and could only judge from the aura fluctuations on its body, and it was very surprised at the moment.
How did you get discovered that you were so well hidden?
The two sides looked at each other, and since the language could not be understood, the next thing was to communicate with their fists.
Wooden armor, wooden stabbing fist gloves, Shen Mu instantly got his equipment ready, and he urged the technique of toughening skin and copper head and iron bones, and the defense power was full.
Naturally, the bone demon would not stand in place and wait for Shen Mu to finish arming, but took the lead in attacking.
I saw sharp bone spurs growing out of its body, and they shot at Shen Mu in unison, like a dense rain of arrows.
Under this indiscriminate attack, the huge figure at this moment became a burden to Shen Mu, allowing him to find a suitable cover point.
Although he is confident in his own body, he can't take this blow completely. So Shen Mu hurriedly pulled up a big tree next to him, danced into a big windmill with both hands, and barely blocked the first wave of arrow rain.
When he looked at the tree in his hand again, it was already full of bone darts and cracks, and he could no longer be used as a weapon. Shen Mu threw it at the bone demon, hoping that it would shine again at the end.
Looking at the trees flying towards him, the bone demon immediately attacked, twisted the snake's tail and pulled it away, immediately shattering it and turning it into a cloud of dust falling from the sky.
When the dust cleared, Shen Mu was no longer in place.
Taking advantage of the moment the bone demon's attention was attracted, a dodge came behind it, wrapped his hands around its tail, exerted force at the waist, and used the bone demon in his hand as a long whip, dancing wildly, and savagely smashing it around.
In this case, the bone demon had nowhere to exert his strength, and only felt that his body was growing uncontrollably, and then it was a whirlwind.
In less than a moment, the neighborhood became a mess, the ground was full of large pits, all the trees were smashed at the waist, and many boulders also turned into pieces of rubble, scattered on the ground.
"Whew~ It's quite strenuous."
Shen Mu stopped and let go of the bone demon tail that he was holding tightly in his hand. The palm of his hand was also pierced by the bone spurs of the bone demon, and several blood holes were pierced, and at this time, with the help of the human face peach, it was slowly healing.
And now the bone demon lying on the ground struggling is even more seriously injured. The bones on its body were crawling with cracks, and there were quite a few of them, which broke directly in the collision, revealing the medullary fluid within.
"Next, let's go on the road with peace of mind!"
Shen Mu looked at the snake demon lying on the ground and slowly crawling, and decided that it was time to give it a fatal blow.
Stepping on its writhing body, Shen Mu slammed down with a punch at its head, and the melon seeds, which were already full of cracks, immediately fell apart and became a piece of bone slag.
However, no experience points were gained.
"It's weird."
Shen Mu looked at the bone demon that had stopped writhing on the ground, and its fragmented skull fragments were actually reassembled, rolled back on top of the vertebrae, and reassembled with the torso.
"Not dead?!"
Looking at the bone demon's regrown head, Shen Mu hurriedly jumped away to prevent being attacked from the opposite side.
But after observing for a while, he found that although this bone demon seemed to be resurrected, its physical condition had not fully recovered, and its body was still full of cracks. He could only crawl on the ground with difficulty, fleeing in the direction away from Shen Mu.
However, the speed was too slow, and Shen Mu could catch up in a few steps.
Returning to its edge, Shen Mu changed the place of other attacks this time, the combination of the snake body and the human body.
He grabbed the human body with one hand and the snake body with the other, and without even using all his strength, the bone demon immediately broke into two, and this time, Shen Mu even threw the human skeleton on the upper body into the distance.
However, even so, this bone demon still has signs of life.
I saw that the lower body of the snake, as if equipped with radar, crawled towards the upper body of the human without mistake, opened its mouth, bit its upper body, and turned into a half-human and half-snake bone demon again.
Relying on Shen Mu to be unable to kill himself, the bone demon continued to flee as if no one was around.
"I still don't believe it, I can't kill you today."
How could Shen Mu watch the experience value on his lips fly by himself, so he made a few more attempts.
However, there is no exception and cannot be killed.
In the end, watching the bone demons whose whole body was almost shattered to pieces come together again, Shen Mu understood that his fists could only make the bone demons lose their ability to fight, but they could not wipe them out.
In other words, it seems that physical attacks can't take away the life force of this youkai.
It's just that the spells that Shen Mu knows now seem to be all enhancement types, and there are no attack skills in a direct sense.
In this way, can you only watch the other party run away slowly?
Naturally, there is a way, that is, digestion, put the bone demon in the stomach pouch, and use the digestive juice to decompose it, which should be able to kill it.
However, Shen Mu now had other ideas, he wanted to fuse this bone demon and obtain its body.
"It's a heart-warming body."
As soon as the offensive turned, it was now Shen Mu who was hungry for the body of the bone demon.
It has been broken countless times, and it has been glued together countless times, in a sense, it has achieved another level of indestructibility, who doesn't love such a body.
However, if it is fused, Shen Mu may have an extra spiritual root, and it will become an ordinary qualification that is not up or down, such as the three spirit roots.
From the Heavenly Spirit Root to the Three Spirit Roots, it is natural that he will no longer be able to enter the eyes of the Yuanying Old Ancestor, and it may be difficult to mix with an inner disciple.
After thinking about it a few times, Shen Mu decided to choose to fuse the bone demon.
In the future, he can still strive to develop in a good direction, and the three spirit roots are just one less stepping stone for him. And firmly grasping the current opportunity is the most practical choice at present.
Shen Mu looked at the bone demon on the ground who was still desperately trying to escape, and the corner of his mouth showed an evil smile.
"Let me in."
The tendrils locked onto the struggling bone demon and dragged it back into the stomach pouch of the human-faced peach.
It will definitely take time to fuse, and the longer it will take to fuse a living monster, Shen Mu can only lock it in the stomach pouch space until the fusion is completed.
