Chapter 304: A Sword
After a while, a human skeleton appeared. Tian Xu felt a little strange, could this be the Demon Sect's Demon Cultivator? But there were too few cultivators who could move freely under the sea like himself before ascending, whether it was a Demon Cultivator or a native cultivator of the Earth.
In addition, there are also some of the demonic beast skeletons here that are obviously not sea animals, but more like land animals, and it is not easy for these animals to enter the ocean before reaching level six.
"Could it be that this was land before?" Tian Xu secretly guessed.
Unlike Warcraft, Demon Cultivators can wear clothes and use weapons. The clothes on this demon cultivator's body should have been rotted and scattered, only a belt of unknown material around his waist was still around it, and in his hand, a long sword was clenched.
The long sword was inserted in a brown scabbard, and it was not pulled out until the person was killed, which shows that the person was killed in an instant, and there was no time to even draw the sword to resist. The man's teeth were slightly closed, and he did not open his mouth or bite tightly, he should have been in a very relaxed state at that time, and his limbs and bones were quite natural, and he did not show any signs of guard at all, which also confirmed this from the side.
Tian Xu hadn't paid attention to the posture of those demonic beast bones before, but when he looked at it again, he found that those demonic beasts were indeed killed in a relaxed state, and it seemed that the formation here was activated very suddenly, and it was extremely powerful. These monsters should have been killed before being transported here, otherwise they would definitely be on guard once they saw the large number of bones here.
He put the human skeleton into the Medicine King Bucket along with the belt on his body and the sword in his hand, and was careful not to damage it, but placed it in a clearing on the hillside to look at it more closely.
When he collected the man's bones, he found that the ground beneath the bones were scattered with four square slices of metal, slightly smaller and thicker than playing cards, with black and green rust on them, which looked like they were of copper. There is a faint flow of aura on these flakes, giving people an extraordinary feeling. Tian Xu didn't dare to move, and he also used the domain to hold them up and put them into the Medicine King Bucket.
The rest of the work saw no more humans, but he did find some weapons, including swords, spears, knives, clubs, etc., and a spatial ring. However, no trace of the owner of these weapons was found. Tian Xu guessed that these expressions were most likely used by cultivators of the Earth Immortal or higher realms, who possessed aura bodies, and after being killed, the aura dissipated, leaving no bones.
After he put all the bones and weapons into the Medicine King Bucket, he still left the volcanic wall a few hundred meters away and entered the Medicine King Bucket again.
The bones of those demonic beasts were placed flat on the ground under Baicao Whip Mountain by Tian Xu, and after they were laid out, they found that there were so many bones of these demonic beasts, and a very huge piece was placed on the ground, and there was a feeling that they could not be seen at a glance.
Tian Xu didn't care about these bones, he came to the human skeleton for the first time.
The skeleton was supported by him in a formation, standing upright on the ground, and in comparison, he realized that the owner of this skeleton was not tall. Tian Xu's height is probably less than 1.8 meters, which is on the noon side among Eastern humans. The skeleton was slightly taller than his chin, estimated to be only about 1.6 meters. But the bones were very large, and the bones were very thick everywhere, so it should be very strong.
Tian Xu carefully looked at the details of this skeleton, he was a regular medical student in the medical school of the secular world, and he was still quite familiar with human bones, judging from the details of the bones and teeth, the owner of this skeleton should be a man, according to the standards of the secular world, it should be a young man about twenty years old. However, the bones of cultivators are affected by long-term cultivation, and they will undergo obvious changes, and their bone condition is much better than that of ordinary people, so this judgment may not be accurate, but there is no need to question the physical condition of the owner of this skeleton.
On the left arm where the skeleton holds the scabbard, the upper arm, forearm, metacarpal bones and the phalanges of the two fingers have all been fractured, and several ribs on the left side have also been fractured.
In ancient times, the earth was full of spiritual energy, and the elixir was abundant, and the difficulty for ordinary cultivators to obtain the fourth-level elixir was much smaller than now, and after this person was injured, there was no good elixir, so the possibility of him being a demon cultivator increased a lot, and from a historical point of view, the ability of the demon cultivation pill was much lower than that of the earth's native cultivators.
Tian Xu scanned the skeleton with the domain and found a place on the head of the skeleton that was significantly different from the skeleton of ordinary humans.
The forehead of this skeleton, not the size of a baked cake, has a noticeable response to the detection of electromagnetic waves, which is extremely special compared to the bones of ordinary humans. This bone is like an antenna that receives or emits electromagnetic waves, and is especially sensitive to long waves that can transmit information over long distances.
After discovering this, Tian Xu returned to the place where the bones of the demonic beasts were rotated again, and used the same method to observe the skulls of these demonic beast bones, and found that these demonic beasts more or less had this special ability.
He called the junior disciples of the Three Immortal Temples over and examined their skulls, and found that human cultivators did not have such a skull, and it seemed that it was basically confirmed that this skeleton should belong to a demon cultivator.
There were some demonic beasts and demon cultivators stored in the Medicine King Bucket before, and Tian Xu scanned these demonic beasts, and finally confirmed that this place on the skull that was very sensitive to electromagnetic waves was widespread, which was enough to show that the human skeleton was a demon cultivator. At the same time, this incident also unexpectedly gave him a special way to distinguish between demon cultivation and demonic beasts.
Tian Xu didn't really care about this method of identification, his sense of smell was very sensitive to the "demonic qi" on the body of the demonic beasts and demon cultivators, and it was easy to judge their identities.
After confirming the identity of the Demon Cultivator, it can be basically believed that this formation has a way to distinguish between the Demon Beast and the Demon Cultivator, which can kill the Demon Beast and the Demon Cultivator who are close to it, and then collect their bones under that "roof". He didn't know the purpose of this formation to gather these bones, could it be to obtain vitality or aura from their identities like Medicine King Dou? Tian Xu didn't know, but he was still a little worried that if he took these bones, it would affect the operation of this formation.
He didn't dwell on it anymore, and turned his head to study the weapons and other items.
The first thing I looked at was the space ring. Judging from the demon cultivators he met now, they lacked this kind of spatial container, and he himself had killed a large number of demon cultivators, but he had never obtained even a single spatial container from the demon cultivators. And in the cultivation world, even in the smallest sect, there will always be one or two spatial containers that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Now that he had found the space ring left behind by the Demon Cultivator, the owner of this ring should be a person of considerable status among the Demon Cultivators, otherwise how could he have such a space ring that looked quite good? He was eager to know what treasures were in this space ring.
The space ring Tian Xu has already played a lot, and his divine sense swept over this ring, but he was unexpectedly blocked out, he didn't expect that there was a strong prohibition on this space ring, and he was not able to enter it. However, this matter is difficult for Tian Xu, he mobilized the omnipotent realm, but he was not able to break through the prohibition on this ring, and the realm could only see that this was the entrance to a space, and the inside of the entrance was not within the control of the domain. The prohibition was a two-way street, and he still couldn't see what was going on inside the ring.
Tian Xu tried his best, tried repeatedly, and finally failed, with his current ability, if he wanted to break the ban on this ring, he still couldn't catch it. This made him want to win, and he didn't call the artifacts to help, he put away the space ring, and prepared to study it slowly. Anyway, he doesn't care much about what kind of treasure is in the ring, and it's not bad to keep his curiosity and study it slowly.
Putting down the ring, among the many weapons, the first thing he focused on was the long sword in the skeleton's hand.
It stands to reason that among these weapons, those without bones should be the weapons of a higher realm demon cultivator, and they will be stronger than the weapons of this demon cultivator who has not yet entered the realm of earth immortals. But the sword attracted him as if it had magical powers.
Tian Xu grabbed the scabbard and took the long sword from the skeletal hand. As soon as the sword was in his hands, Tian Xu found that the weight of the sword was about ten kilograms, which was not much different from an ordinary long sword. The dark brown scabbard was dark, as if it was made of some kind of wood, but it blocked his field scanning, preventing him from seeing the blade.
There is a black rope wrapped around the hilt of the sword, I don't know what material it is, it has been soaked in the sea for I don't know how many years, and there is no change, there is a lot of seabed dirt deposited on the hilt and outside the scabbard, Tian Xu was shocked, and all the dirt on the sword was peeled off. The dirt was gray and black, and it would have made the entire appearance of the sword dirty, but when the dirt was peeled off, the true color of the sword was revealed.
The wood grain on the scabbard is like that, but the color is yellow, showing a texture similar to jade, and I don't know what its material is. The rope wound around the hilt of the sword is brownish-red and translucent, and the whole body is a single one, not made of thin fibers, and it looks like the tendons of some animal. The metal is exposed in the place where the rope is not entangled, and the true color can no longer be seen, and it is wrapped in a thin and firm rust, showing a special texture intertwined with black and green.
