Chapter Seventy-Two: Skeletons
The two ghost fires were faint and burning, and in the strange light curtain on the stone wall, the changes in Hou Sheng were so clear that Shen Shi even felt as if he was standing beside him, witnessing all this with his own eyes.
The Hou family couple and the Hou Yuanliang family in front of Hou Sheng were still immersed in obvious ecstasy at this moment, although Shen Shi didn't know what they were doing, but looking at their expressions and staring intently at the mysterious giant egg that rose and fell in the pillar of light, he could probably guess that maybe this giant egg was the ultimate goal of the Hou family's expedition and treasure hunting.
In the light curtain, under the light of that light, the four people on the lonely peak, including Hou Sheng, who stood at the end, looked not neat on their bodies, and there were many cracks and embarrassments, thinking that they would come all the way here, they should not be very easy, plus a large number of people when they set off, but at this time, there were only four of them left, although the others did not see it, but in such a fierce place, I am afraid that it is also more auspicious.
In the pillar of light, the gap that was stretched open was constantly distorting and slowly getting bigger, and then Shen Shi clearly saw that in this light, there was a black long strip of crystal-like strange stone suspended in the void, about the length of a palm, the whole body was pure black, deep and clear, but in the bright light around it, it kept emitting bursts of strange black light, which seemed incompatible with the light that fell from the sky, and it was also this strange black crystal, as if it was exuding some strange power, forcefully stretched these rays of light through the gap, and gradually revealed the crimson giant egg insideγ
Seeing that the giant egg was gradually revealed, the Hou family couple and Hou Yuanliang's faces became more ecstatic, and they took two steps forward together, not noticing the strangeness of Hou Sheng behind them.
After a while, the giant egg will be revealed immediately, and the hands of the waiting couple will be able to touch the giant egg.
Suddenly, a low sigh sounded in this originally dark cave, Shen Shi was taken aback, looked back, and found that the sigh came from the mouth of the old man who had been silent from the beginning, he seemed to be getting older, the wrinkles on his face were becoming more and more profound, and even his eyes were darker.
It's just that Shen Shi suddenly noticed that the old man's gaze suddenly moved away from the light curtain, and slowly sank a little, Shen Shi followed his gaze, and was suddenly stunned, but found that there seemed to be a white Sensen thing on the stone wall below the light curtain.
He couldn't help but take a few steps forward, looked at it with wide eyes, and then found that it was actually a skeleton sitting on the ground with its back against the stone wall, sitting silently in the dark, the cave was already dark, so Shen Shi really didn't notice it earlier.
After experiencing the endless skeletons in the sea of bones before, and seeing such a skeleton again, even if it did look a little gloomy in the dark, Shen Shi still didn't feel any special fear, but was a little surprised in his heart, because when he walked into this huge cave, he also carefully paid attention to the surroundings, except for the only Yin Dragon Dragon Dragon Remnants, there were no foreign objects, even if the bones outside the cave were endless like mountains and seas, but there was no trace in this cave.
Therefore, the skeleton that suddenly appeared was particularly abrupt and dazzling, so that Shen Shi couldn't help but take a closer look at it a few more times, judging from the size of the skeleton, this skeleton obviously looked like a human race, and the size was not too big, it seemed to be smaller than Shen Shi's, and even made people feel a little slender.
But after a few glances, after all, it is still a dead thing, although it looks a little strange in this cave, but the scene on the light curtain is obviously the key now, Shen Shi quickly turned his gaze back, watching the gap in the pillar of light finally gradually opened to the point where a person can step in, and Hou Yongchang and Sun Qin, who were standing at the front, walked forward almost at the same time.
The sigh in his ears seemed to be still echoing, Shen Shi didn't really understand what the attitude of the old man sitting with his back to the Yin Dragon was looking at this scene, because from beginning to end, except for that sigh, the old man had been watching silently, except that his eyes occasionally looked at the silent skeleton under the light curtain.
Seeing that the figure on the lonely peak was about to step into the pillar of light, the old man's body suddenly moved, and under Shen Shi's gaze, his right hand slowly raised again.
Shen Shi didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
On the lone peak, suddenly the pillar of light suddenly shone brightly, and a bright and gentle light sprinkled down from the unknown place of the dome like a waterfall, and the light shone in an instant, and suddenly pressed back half of the black light that stretched open the gap.
Hou Yongchang and Sun Qin were shocked, and quickly stopped their bodies, almost touching the light that fell down, and their faces were suddenly shocked, but obviously the black crystal hanging in the air was not extraordinary, although it was instantly suppressed and trembled, but it quickly calmed down, the black light flickered and wrapped around, and after a while, it was hard to withstand the thunderous pressure, in mid-air, the gap opened by the black light and the bright light sprinkled were so deadlocked.
Then Shen Shi suddenly found that standing at the end, the two ghost fires in his eyes suddenly extinguished and disappeared.

Under the lonely peak, in the dark cave, the old man didn't seem to have changed, he was still very old and withered, and Xiao Hei was still lying motionless beside him, looking a little weird. Only Shen Shi stood alone in the distance, looking at the light curtain for a while, and then at the old man, as if he had some understanding in his heart, but he frowned, as if there was something he couldn't understand.
It was at this time, in this dark silence, that Shen Shi suddenly heard an incredible voice:
"Pap, papa......"
A crisp sound, suddenly echoed in the cave, sounding like ...... There was a knock on the door.
But Shen Shi clearly remembered that he had come all the way, this dark cave was extremely large, but where could there be any doors? But now this strange knocking sound echoed in the cave so clearly, and even a moment later, when the knocking sound paused for a while, there was a gentle, pleasant and somewhat gentle and polite female voice, first smiled slightly, like a silver bell, and then from the entrance of the cave, in such a deep darkness, came her voice:
"Open the door, open the door, don't sleep, the guest has come to the door." β
Shen Shi Huo Ran turned around and looked around, but saw that at the entrance of the cave on the way to the road, there was darkness and no light, but where was there a shadow existing? He turned around and subconsciously looked at the mysterious old man again, and the voice of the woman who suddenly appeared and the words she said echoed in his ears.
The old dragon opened the door, where is the door, and who is the old dragon?
It's just that the withered expression on the old man's face doesn't seem to have changed at all, and his body has no intention of moving, and even the right hand that he waved just now is unconsciously falling to the ground next to him again.
Then, there seemed to be a moment of silence in the cave.
After a moment, the mysterious female voice outside the cave seemed to chuckle and said, "Okay, since you don't open the door, then I'll go in by myself." β
Shen Shi was startled, and hurriedly looked at the entrance of the cave, but after waiting for a while, the darkness was still deep and silent, and there was no sign of the appearance of a human figure.
Shen Shi's heart suddenly sank, and he turned to look, and at the same time, the pupils in his eyes shrank slightly, and under the light curtain of the stone wall, the only skeleton sitting quietly with his back against the stone wall suddenly began to move.
Two dark green ghost fires lit up from its two eye sockets of the black hole, and then, the thin skeleton actually stood up slowly, as if it suddenly came to life, and even after standing up straight, it shook its neck, as if it had hung its head for too long, and its neck felt a little sore.
Then, it looked up at the old man with his back to the dragon's stump, and his jaw flared, and he walked towards him.
From beginning to end, the skeleton didn't glance at Shen Shi.
The sound of clicking sounded slowly, it was a strange sound from the skeleton joints on the skeleton, which sounded a little creepy, but watching such a ghost thing gradually come to him, the old man's face did not change at all, and his eyes were still so indifferent.
It didn't take long for the skeleton to walk up to the old man, and he stood condescendingly and looked at him, the shadow covering the old man's face. After a pause, the ghost fire in the eyes of the two groups flickered for a moment, and its gaze fell on Xiao Hei, who was lying beside the old man.
For some reason, the little black pig who didn't seem to be so scared of the countless ghosts and terrifying things that Shen Shi had faced in the Zhenlong Ancient Hall before, but at this moment, he suddenly seemed to be scared to death, his whole body trembled violently, and his body curled up desperately, as if he wanted to burrow into the ground completely.
Suddenly, a withered old palm appeared from mid-air and landed on its head, and with a slight touch, Xiao Hei's body froze for a moment, as if he had been comforted by something, and quickly calmed down.
Although the skeleton's body is not big, its momentum is not so terrifying and ferocious, and after staring at Xiao Hei for only a short moment, it can scare Xiao Hei to death for some reason, but it doesn't seem to care much about this little black pig, but instead raises its head, its jaw moves slightly, and the soft female voice that appeared not long ago came out of its mouth again:
"It's really interesting that this inferior little demon beast actually has a trace of your blood. β
The voice was still gentle and pleasant, but when it came out of the mouth of this eerie and terrifying-looking white bone skeleton, it looked extremely terrifying.
The old man glanced at the skeleton with a cloudy gaze, and after a while, a voice came from his mouth that was also old and slightly desolate, and said slowly:
"What do you want?"
This skeleton, or the "female" skeleton, waved its white skeletal arm, as if a little helpless, and as if with a little pride, "smiled" and said, "Come and play chess." After a pause, it continued, "You have been entangled with me for a game of chess for 100,000 years, and now when it comes to the end of the last few moves, how can you do it without finishing it?"
