Skull Cave.

In the basin below the spiral staircase, there are piles of bones, and the dead are gone.

The thousands of surviving skeletons sat around and sat on the ground, and in the center of them, the ghost-shaped Monarch spent an entire Earth Day, completely recounting the entire journey of leaving here and walking in the great world of destruction for hundreds of thousands of years until he met Fang Lei.

"Immortal Lord, the strength of that skeleton you brought back is not very good, and I even found the essence of your life in his bones. The one who spoke was the skeleton of a young master, who stood from the crowd and bowed to the monarch, his tone of reverence from the heart, "Great Immortal Lord, have you given half of your most precious life essence to that skeleton?

As soon as these words came out, the crowd nodded one after another, although these skeletons were very weak, they were all extremely powerful in their previous lives, so when Fang Lei appeared, they all found that on Fang Lei's bones, the holes were filled with a black metal substance.

The existence of this metallic state is the essence of life.

No matter what method the master cultivates, the "essence of life" will be produced at the time of the most Mahayana attainment, and for them, the essence of life not only means an extremely high realm, but also the main substance that can protect the eternal immortality of the physical body.

Among these skeletons, the essence of the king's life is undoubtedly the strongest.

At the beginning, when Fang Lei first came to this world, he had already died completely, and his body liquefied and left only a white bone, which was very badly weathered, and there was no sign of life at all. Realizing that the skeleton was different, he tried to inject a small part of the essence of life, activating the skeleton to bring him back to life.

Although decades have passed since Fang Lei gradually woke up, on the battlefield of gods and demons, he is only in the command room.

Jun Yan excavated some unheard of worldly views from the skeleton's memory, and he continued to inject more life matter, until the moment Fang Lei completely stood up, he realized that he needed a spokesperson in this world even more.

That's how the two worked together!

"Although the essence of life is precious, it is more difficult to find and more precious than my attitude and opinion, a person who can save us, take us out of this world. I personally have a lot of confidence in him!"

Jun Yan said unhurriedly, his tone full of unmistakable affirmation, "No dead skeleton in this world can come back to life, and he can—I have found many virtues in this young man during this time. I hope that in the future, you will be able to take him as the leader. ”

Although his tone was light, it left an immeasurable influence in the hearts of everyone, and Fang Lei was very likely to become a person who would change the status quo of the entire skeleton group.

The young man who asked nodded and sat back in his place after bowing to the king.

Another old man stood up and asked, "Immortal Lord, but we are extremely weak and vulnerable. And Fang Lei's strength seems to be still at the low-level stage of chaos. Faced with a blockade of countless bugs, the chances of us returning to the teleportation tower are slim to none. ”

"Wait!"

After a while, Jun Yan only said this one word, and the crowd fell silent again, they were not fanatics of Jun Yan, but the return of Jun Yan had already made people see some hope. In the past few days, no one has chosen to cut themselves, on the contrary, they are all silently waiting, hoping that one day they will be able to get out of this cave.

At this moment, Jun Yan felt the spiritual connection from Fang Lei, "The plan begins!"

"It's finally begun!"

Jun Yan said silently, in fact, he had already reached the same agreement with Fang Lei - he did not hesitate to protect these dry bone clansmen by changing the bone fire. If one day the skeletons know the truth and mutiny, and someone has to be responsible, Jun Yan decides to sacrifice himself to protect Fang Lei.

Under the deliberate arrangement, Jun Yan cooperated very well with every detail of Fang Lei's design, his ghost was like being blown by the wind and about to dissipate, forming a circle of ripples, and after recovering with difficulty, Jun Yan's tone was full of anger, "It's not good, I feel that there are zergs outside, clansmen, there are bugs that have noticed our existence." Hurry up and see what the enemy is doing. ”

Several skeletons with relatively strong bones stood up and ran towards the mouth of the cave.

Hearing this news that is related to survival or not, the generals will be in a commotion, and they are all extremely shocked.

This concern is not unreasonable, because of the extreme weakness, three or five insects will come and destroy the nest, once a worm strayed into this place, in order to encircle and suppress it, more than 100 tribesmen were sacrificed. Now, everyone's combat power continues to decline, and it has reached the point of vulnerability.

After a while, a skeleton brought back the news: "Tell the immortal master, there are indeed many insects outside." But...... But, they are killing each other!"

"What, cannibalism?" Jun Yan pretended to be surprised, in fact, he had already known that this was the work of Fang Lei's insect guards.

For the sake of these clansmen, Jun Yan acquiesced to Fang Lei's proposal, and after countless long years of waiting, Jun Yan no longer bothered with these.

"Please tell us the truth. ”

With Jun Yan's encouragement, the person who came recounted the process in detail, "Lord Xianzong, all the clansmen—there are a few insects fighting each other outside, and a few pincer insects are attacking a four-legged archworm that is full of blue bone fire. The four-legged archworm can't resist it, and it has already bitten off two legs, and it seems that it won't be long before it will be completely eliminated!"

Everyone was shocked, it seemed that the situation was not so bad, these zergs did not come for the skeletons, and they couldn't help whispering.

"Damn, those bugs must be hungry and crazy, and they actually kill each other. ”

"Well, we'd better be careful, and it's not good to be caught by them. ”

"I think it's normal for bugs from different nests to fight each other for survival resources. ”

......

As soon as Jun Yan waved his hand, everyone immediately stopped communicating, and listened to him say, "Continue to observe, and report any situation immediately." ”

After a while, the skeletons got the latest information, it turned out that the four-legged bow worm had been completely eliminated, and several attacking bugs had sucked some of the bone fire and left.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Jun Yan felt that the time was right, and said, "Since we have ensured that the outside is safe, all of you captain-level people should come out with me to understand the situation." ”

On the bare sand outside, there was a four-legged archworm lying still twitching, this insect was a bit like an elephant on the earth when its limbs were intact, it was very large, and its abdomen could carry a considerable amount of bone fire. But now, its four legs had been bitten off, and the rest of its abdomen was bulging like a ball, emitting a cold fluorescence.

Quadruped archeria has no meridians and is a large arthropod insect.

The sucked bone fire is decomposed by a certain biological enzyme in the body of the quadruped archerworm to form another substance - shallow energy.

In this world, shallow energy exists in spherical bodies, each one is about the size of a ping-pong ball, and the color is bright red like a ripe Bodhi, which is very convenient for the absorption of living beings. After the insect's belly was torn, the shallow balls of energy rolled to the ground, shining.

"Come on, you guys transport the insect corpses to the cave, as for this energy ball, although it is the soul of our people, I believe that if they live, they must also hope that we can survive. Don't waste cheap bugs. As long as we live, we will not be completely forgotten!"

The word "forgetting" hit the nail on the head as soon as he came out, and it completely poked the weakest pain - these people can sacrifice for the human race, even if they don't want to live with dignity, but they must not be forgotten.

Forgotten means that there is no value, and if they are still forgotten, how cruel will it be to these skeletons who describe the withered ground?

"Ah, Lord Immortal, you're right, we must live. We don't suck the bones of the people because we can't kill each other, but we can get it from the Zerg. Why do we want to cocoon ourselves and kill ourselves?"

Another lieutenant said, "We must live—we must have a chance to return to the old world." ”

"We also have to record all the experiences that have been here, the deeds of everyone who has come here, and write them into poems. A third person took over, his words full of excited anticipation.

Jun Yan was silent, and his eyes swept over everyone one by one. With his encouragement, one of the leaders finally took the lead in devouring a shallow energy orb, and the old man turned around, and his withered body immediately became stronger, and even made a "crackling" bone joint.

"Ah, it feels so good. Next time, it's your turn!"

When they came to the outside of the cave, there were twenty or thirty skeletons, all of whom were small leaders, and it was also within the plan to choose them to come out. A small number of people devoured the Orb of Life, and the Fire of Life was greatly improved, directly regaining a certain combat effectiveness. The rest shook their heads, and their meaning was obvious - someone needed more than us!

More than a hundred orbs, four or five thousand skeletons, is indeed a drop in the bucket.

But one of the deadliest problems has been completely solved: as long as there is a source of energy, no one will die naturally because of the passage of time!

It is not advisable to stay outside for a long time, the skeleton generals are busy, and return to the cave one by one, and after the last day, Jun Yan turned his head and glanced at the mouth of the canyon not far away.

At some point, a skeleton stood on a hill in the distance, straddled with a knife, and the cloak hunted in the breeze.

Standing on the limestone where the branches had formed fossils, Fang Lei waved his arms in this direction, his two fingers forked into a V-shape.

Jun Yan smiled heartily and sent a message: "Fang Lei-according to what you say, it's done!"

"Ask the seniors to take care of them, and my bugs will be sent regularly for sustenance. Wait a few more months, and then you can pick out some powerful skeletons and expand the range of potential power with me. ”

"Well, that's it!"

Looking at the back of Fang Lei, who turned to leave, Jun Yan inexplicably had a glimmer of hope. "It's not his ambition to be in a safe corner of the Demon God battlefield, once he becomes a real master, this guy is definitely a trapped dragon ascending to heaven, and he can't live forever! ”

Jun Yan shook his head, and a light smile finally appeared on his dark face.
