Chapter 273: Bones

Li Mu was startled, and the thunder sword he had just obtained in his hand was directly unsheathed. It was just a moment before the armor skeleton came to mind. The skeletal eyes glistened with a ghostly glow, and its yellow teeth were sparse, and it looked terrifying.

In the face of the attacking sword, Li Mu's true qi was insufficient at this time, so he could only use the sword to block. The armored skeleton slashed at the Thunder Sword, but the result was staggering. The knife in the armoured skeleton's hand turned out to be broken in response.

Li Mu was a little surprised, but he would definitely not let go of this opportunity. Li Mu bent down and slashed his sword, directly splitting the armor skeleton into two. "This ......" Li Mu looked at the upper body of the skeleton falling to the ground, and glanced down at the long sword in his hand.

Even though he knew that the sword in his hand was a good sword, Li Mu never thought that a sword could be so sharp!

Li Mu looked at the sword in his hand with a foolish smile on his face. However, when he saw the lower half of the armored skeleton still running, Li Mu put away his smile. Although the armored skeleton was cut off by the waist, the two legs of his lower body were still rushing towards Li Mu.

This strange sight made Li Mu's brows furrow, and he kicked it out with one kick. The two legs that were still fluttering fell in the distance, and from the wound that was cut by Li Mu, a puff of black smoke suddenly flew out. The black smoke swirled in the air, and immediately pounced on another armored skeleton. The speed of the armored skeleton increased suddenly.

Li Mu frowned, and he lowered his head and carefully glanced at the armor skeleton. The wound he had cut with his sword was impressively textured with wood. Obviously, this is not a real skeleton, but a wooden man! The mechanism inside is still dripping, but Li Mu is more concerned about the black smoke just now.

The other armored skeleton had already approached, and Li Mu swung his sword and slashed again. With the power of the thunder sword, Li Mu could easily cut him in two. Now, Li Mu was more aware of the structure inside these wooden skeletons.

The wooden skeletons had a chamber in their chests from which the black smoke came out. As soon as the black smoke left, the wooden skeleton's movement immediately slowed down. And the black smoke will immediately pick the next skeleton and enter the mechanism through the eye.

Li Mu stood on the high platform and looked around by the light of the fire, the number of those armor skeletons was not small, and five would come out under each bronze giant tree, so that was thirty-five wooden skeletons.

With the Thunder Sword in hand, no matter how many there are, Li Mu is a matter of one sword. Li Mu now finally understands what it means to work well, and if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. With such a sharp weapon in hand, those wooden skeletons are completely insignificant.

The wooden skeletons were scattered all over the high platform, all piled up at Li Mu's feet. Li Mu didn't pay attention to the pile of wreckage, his gaze fell on the large black smoke in the air. The black smoke was emitted from the wooden skeletons. They were all entrenched in mid-air, gathered together, and became a big mass.

Although it was called black smoke, Li Mu was very sure that it was definitely not smoke. He had never seen a smoke that could turn freely without wind, and burrow into a place on its own. It's definitely some kind of living thing.

Li Mu looked at the black smoke and was very jealous. After all, the black smoke can burrow into the body of the wooden skeleton, and it can also speed up their movements, if it burrows into their own body...... Li Mu shuddered when he imagined it.

Li Mu looked at the surrounding situation and decided to leave here first. He put away his thunder sword and stepped off the platform. In front of the high platform is a smooth avenue. This passage leads to an exit, Li Mu has already observed the surrounding environment, this exit should be the only entrance and exit of this Heavenly Palace.

Li Mu walked down the steps, and there was another "woo woo" sound, and a batch of skeletons came out under the bronze tree. Unlike the wooden skeletons just now, the armor of those skeletons was brand new, and their specially carved bones showed the brilliance of metal. As soon as these skeletons appeared, the black smoke in mid-air seemed to immediately find their target, and it suddenly split into several strands in the air, burrowing into the metal skeletons.

The metal skeleton was already a few points faster than the wooden skeleton, and with the help of black smoke at this time, it was even more like the wind. Their target this time is no longer Gao Tai, but Li Mu in the passage.

Li Mu looked back, and immediately turned his head and ran. Just kidding, the number and strength of these skeletons are not comparable to those wooden goods just now. Even if Li Mu can still have one sword, but the number is there, I don't know how much work it will take to destroy them all. So, turning around and running now is the way to go.

Li Mu ran directly, he ran through the passage, passed through the exit, and found that there was a corridor outside. The sound from behind kept coming, and it was clear that the skeletons were still following behind. There was only one passage in front of Li Mu, there was no fork, Li Mu could only continue to move forward. It was pitch black inside the passage, and Li Mu could only use the light of the fireflies to illuminate the way ahead.

Because of the swaying of the fluorescent light during the running, Li Mu's feet suddenly emptied and fell into a downward passage.

This passage was at an inclined angle, and Li Mu fell into it and descended rapidly. In the process of descending, Li Mu tried his best to adjust his body, but because of the fast speed of the fall and the smooth surface of the passage, Li Mu had nowhere to borrow his strength. He can only tumble down in the passage. If there is no panic at this time, it is fake. The pitch-black passage leads nowhere.

Li Mu couldn't pull out his sword in this situation, so he could only let himself fall.

It was probably after a stick of incense that Li Mu "plopped" and fell into the water. Because he couldn't control the position of entering the water, he smashed directly into the water. Luckily, the passage wasn't falling vertically. Otherwise, from the height of a stick of incense that can fall from the fall, and if you smash straight into the water, you can directly smash people to death.

Falling into the water, Li Mu must be in his heart. He was not in a hurry to float, he calmed down his mood first, and at the same time asked Shark Zhu to treat the injuries he suffered when he fell. He checked what he was holding, but luckily it was sturdy before he set off, so it didn't fall off.

Li Mu surfaced and found that there was some red light around him. These light sources were some distance away from Li Mu, and Li Mu couldn't even see the shore now, so he could only choose a direction at random and swim to the shore.

After going ashore, Li Mu discovered that these red rays came from a kind of flower. To be precise, this flower is dark red, and the flower has a total of seven petals, but only the flower can emit bright light. In addition to the flowers, Li Mu also saw a cyan butterfly dancing among the flowers.

Seeing the green butterfly, Li Mu suddenly understood what this flower was. "It's a spark. Li Mu remembered that Shen Li had mentioned that there was a kind of green butterfly in the Nine Hundred Sect, and that green butterfly was a different species that Ling Jiuhao brought out from the Wu Clan's tomb. It can be several miles away and sense the smell of Pluto pollen. This is a tracking technique unique to the Nine Hundred Sect.

Now Li Mu is in the tomb of the Wu Clan, and this dark red flower that emits red light is surrounded by green butterflies. This made it difficult for Li Mu not to connect with the Green Butterfly of the Nine Hundred Sect. "Then this is where Ling Jiuhao has been, that is to say, I have fallen from the Heavenly Palace to the Underground Palace?" Li Mu thought of this section. In this way, the gate of the cave that Ling Jiuhao said should be here, right?

Thinking of this, Li Mu eased his mind slightly. One day I found the door at the bottom of the lake, and the next day I went down from the heavenly palace to the underground palace. This progress has exceeded Li Mu and Ling Jiuhao's expectations. On the way here, Ling Jiuhao once said to Li Mu that he had prepared a lot for this operation. Whether it was tools or supplies, he had prepared enough for half a month.

Li Mu found a place to sit down on the shore and ate some dry food that had been soaked to satisfy his hunger. He rested for a moment, and then searched the shore with the fireflies, the lake was not small, and from this shore to the other, only a vague red light could be seen. However, that's because the Spark glows. In addition to the sporadic sparks on the shore here, there are more miscellaneous weeds.

Li Mu thought back to the fine carvings in the Heavenly Palace, and it was hard to imagine that the underground palace was so messy. Is it because no one has entered the Heavenly Palace? Or is it because the Underground Palace is in disrepair? Li Mu couldn't answer this question, so he could only continue to search on the shore.

After about half an hour, Li Mu found a temple made of stone. Although the method of construction is very rough, Li Mu's first reaction when he sees it is the temple. After walking for a long time and finally finding a building, how could Li Mu not come forward to take a look?

Walking to the door of the temple, there was a click from Li Mu's feet. Li Mu took a photo of the firefly beads and found that he had stepped on a pile of bones. The skeleton lay down in the thick grass, and the shape of the skull should be human. Li Mu squatted down and looked at it, the bones were so loose that they shattered when touched, and it looked like it should be some years old. Next to him, in a cluster of blooming sparks, Li Mu also found a rusty sword. This sword is only a foot away from the skeleton, and it should be the weapon used by this skeleton before his death.

Seeing this sword, Li Mu groped his chin, and he had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't know if it was the case.

When Ling Jiuhao entered this Wu Clan's tomb, he was still a disciple of the Fushan Sect. The disciples of the Fushan faction went down the mountain to practice, Xu Bajin and Ling Jiuhao were among them. At that time, there should have been more than one person who entered the Wu Clan's tomb here. But in the end, only the two of them left here.

The two of them said to the outside world that the other Fushan Sect disciples had all died at the hands of the vicious authorities in the tomb. If it was Li Mu in the past, he would naturally believe this statement. But now Li Mu has doubts about this statement.

Those disciples of the Fushan Sect who entered the tomb with Xu Bajin and Ling Jiuhao really died at the hands of the organs?

"I haven't seen a single mechanism after walking on this shore for so long, and this skeleton is lying here, it shouldn't be the agency's doing. Li Mu turned his head to look at the temple made of stones on the side, "It seems that there should be some story here." ”
