Chapter 42: Skins

After the two corpse monsters came out of the pool water, they actually ignored Shen Mu and rushed towards Huang Mengling.

Seeing that the petite Huang Mengling was about to be besieged by two huge monsters, Shen Mu was still a little worried, and just when he wanted to carry the bone spur to help her out of the siege, a flame burst out with her as the center, and it actually shook the two corpses at the same time.

Among them, the giant deer was shocked to Shen Mu's side, but after it got up, it once again ignored the nearest Shen Mu, still buried its head, and rushed towards Huang Mengling with its horns.

"You didn't attack me? Did you mistake me for one of my kind? ”

Shen Mu thought about it for a while, and there was only this possibility at the moment.

"Miss Huang beware!"

He reminded as he threw out a long whip made of bone spurs, entangled the corpse of the giant deer in the charge.

With all his strength, he actually stopped it, and at the same time, the bone whip was tightened, and the giant deer corpse was cut into several pieces.

On the other side, Huang Mengling also easily solved the giant bear corpse, clapped her hands, and left the corpse with white smoke in place and walked towards Shen Mu.

"That whip of yours looks pretty powerful, you actually killed one, let me see?"

"It's just a small magic weapon that doesn't flow into the stream, and it's nothing to look at."

Seeing Huang Mengling coming over, Shen Mu put away the bone spurs that turned into a long whip.

If it was usual, he didn't care, even if he gave her this whip to play with.

But just now, he found that when he withdrew the bone whip, the blood stained on it actually melted into it, and began to emerge grains of red flesh. This vision, if she finds out, is not easy to fool.

"It's stingy."

Fortunately, Huang Mengling just pouted and didn't continue to entangle.

"Okay, you take one of them back and go back to the errand, let's leave as soon as possible, or when it gets dark, these guys will be irritable."

Huang Mengling's joy and anger were all written on her face, she should have been a little angry at this time, and after finishing speaking, she rushed outside.

"yes, okay."

Shen Mu also picked up the deer head that was still blinking his eyes at the moment, held it in his hand, and did not dislike it, quickly followed Huang Mengling, and walked outside.

When I came to the outside of the cave, it was evening, the remnant sun was like blood, and the entrance of the cave was quite gloomy and cold.

On the way back, Huang Mengling talked a lot less, and in the second half of the road, the two didn't talk again, so they came all the way to the courtyard at the top of the peak.

"Oh? Mission accomplished. ”

Huang Tingtian was not striking iron at the moment, and after seeing the two of them return, he moved his gaze to the deer head in Shen Mu's hand, and nodded slightly, "It looks like it's still a three-corpse corpse, so-so." ”

"Three corpses?"

Shen Mu threw the deer's head on the ground, his face puzzled.

"Stupid! Don't you see that in addition to the deer head, it also has two monkey heads around its neck? Like this, the combination of three corpses is called the Three Corpses. ”

Huang Mengling explained to him, and by the way, a flame popped out, burning the still living deer head to ashes.

"Oh, I see."

Shen Mu suddenly realized, then this giant deer should be four corpses, because its torso part also has the corpse of another deer, but only the head is brought at this moment.

"Okay, you've passed the test, it's getting late, and I don't have a place for you to live here, so leave as soon as possible, and come back to me in three days."

Huang Tingtian was not polite, and directly issued an order to expel the guest.

"In this way, the junior will leave."

Shen Mu left and stepped on the stone steps down the mountain.

It's just that how could he leave so easily?

After coming halfway up the mountain, Shen Mu turned into a monkey, climbed the rock wall, and after a period of searching, he finally found a route to the Lost Heart Cave.

When I came to the Heartless Cave again, it was completely dark at this time, and the evil aura was getting stronger and stronger than during the day.

In this rich evil aura, Shen Mu finally experienced a trace of confusion, and immediately showed the form of a bone demon, and his mind became clear again.

And at this time, there were also a lot of corpses out of the heartless cave, they were wandering at the entrance of the cave, and they saw Shen Mu but did not attack, sure enough, as he guessed, these corpses regarded him as their own.

In this way, Shen Mu walked through these broken monsters, walked towards the cave, and followed the route guided by Huang Mengling during the day, all the way to the vicinity of the blood pool.

The current blood pool seemed to be boiling, constantly bubbling bubbles, and in the blood pool, one after another crawled out of the corpses, among them, Shen Mu found several seven or even eight corpses.

The corpses could no longer tell what kind of creatures they were, and could only roughly tell from the skulls hanging from their bodies how many corpses they were stitched together.

After a period of observation, Shen Mu was surprised to find that although these corpses had their own characteristics and the mutilated parts of their bodies were not the same, they had a high degree of overlap.

That is, their chest parts are empty, and this feature is especially obvious on some of the more well-preserved corpses, obviously the whole body looks normal, but the chest part is empty.

"Is this called a lost heart hole...... Still, maybe I'm overthinking it. ”

Shen Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it, he waited for a long time, at this time, there were no corpses emerging from the pool, it was a good opportunity to do experiments.

For the sake of prudence, Shen Mu broke off half of his ribs and submerged it in the pool.

But after the half of the ribs touched the pool of water, they seemed to be thrown into a high-temperature oil pan and fried, and there were fine bubbles, and then, bright red flesh and blood grew on the ribs.

"Isn't it ......"

Seeing this, Shen Mu had a bold idea in his heart.

He put his ribs back in his arms, and with the courage to dive his whole arm into the pool.

Suddenly, a huge amount of energy rushed into his body, and it was as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling over his bones at the same time, and a soft thing wrapped around his arm, Shen Mu knew that it was the feeling of flesh, tendons, and skin.

When he pulled it out again, his hands were covered with flesh, and even wrapped in skin, and he became the same as human hands.

Moreover, in the process, Shen Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that the number on the experience bar of the bone demon continued to rise, and with the recent accumulation, it had come to 850 points.

Since this is the case, Shen Mu was happy, and he no longer hesitated, completely turned into a bone demon form, and jumped into the pool.

The whole body felt like ants crawling over again, as if wearing tight clothes, and at the same time, it felt like it had been drilled into a bag, and Shen Mu's bones began to weave a leather garment.

[EXP: 890/2000 (1st tier)]

[EXP: 900/2000 (1st tier)]

[EXP Points: 950/2000 (1st Tier)]

……

[EXP Points: 0/15000 (2nd Tier)]

Finally, the experience points stopped beating, and the bone demon form came to the second order, which also meant that Shen Mu had returned to the realm of foundation building again.

At the same time, Shen Mu's body structure was also completed, and after the organs were grown, the problem followed, that is, the feeling of suffocation, the bones could not breathe, but the people could not.

Shen Mu hurriedly opened his eyes, swayed the snake's tail, and rushed out of the pool of blood.

"What a strange feeling......"

After going ashore, Shen Mu found that it was not so much that he had grown flesh and blood now, but that he was wearing flesh and blood, his body was still bones, and this flesh and blood was like a piece of clothing that could be taken off at any time.

"Maybe it has something to do with your newfound supernatural powers."

After the bone demon came to the second order, he obtained a supernatural skill, which was called Skin.

After activating this supernatural skill, Shen Mu will grow bloody flesh under the form of a bone monster.

There is no time limit for the skill province, but if it is too long, the skin will emit a corpse odor, and then decay, and you need to find a fresh source of flesh and blood again in order to maintain its normal creature form.

Disarming this skill will bring you back to your bones.

"In this way, this pool of blood looks like a source of flesh and blood."

It's just that it seems to have forcibly given flesh and blood to evil qi creatures, and Shen Mu also grew flesh and blood with its help, gained experience, and rose to the second order.

"But I still don't have a heart."

Shen Mu lowered his head, not knowing if it was the reason for this pool of blood, the position on his chest was empty.

"According to the effect of the skill, it should be all there...... Can't figure it out. ”

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and turned his attention to something else, like the face of the skin, or his own face?

Shen Mu was still a little paranoid about his face, and he hurriedly put his hand on his face.

A little awkward, and bearded, numb, not at all the smooth face of an eight-year-old child, but like an old man on the verge of death.

"Looks like it's the old hunter's body that's recovered."

Shen Mu also remembered the rumor he had heard from the wolf demon Big Tooth in the extreme southern wilderness, that his bone demon form was transformed by the bones of an old hunter and a giant snake.

Thinking of this, Shen Mu lowered his head and looked, good guy, the position below his waist was indeed in a snake's mouth, and the lower half of his body was an intact cyan python.

What kind of creature is this?

But fortunately, Shen Mu can be semi-demonized, the upper half of his body can be transformed into the form of an old man, and he can still maintain his body in the second half of his life, so that he can have an extra identity when he walks in the immortal cultivation world in the future.

It's a pity that the appearance of the skin seems to be fixed, and there is only the face of the old hunter, otherwise Shen Mu will be able to have a thousand faces in the future.
