The mist lingered in the dark swamp, and the unpleasant smell caused some beasts to stay away. In addition to rotten roots and leaves, there were many animal bones in the black mud.
The snow-white skeletons vary in length from half a meter to seven or eight meters, and most of them are half-sunk in the mud. They are particularly heavy in yin, and there is a vague aura of darkness lingering around them.
Although the towering trees are not very dense, the canopy is lush enough to completely cover the place, making this swamp eerie and dark.
This swamp is extremely quiet. Except for the tall old trees, there is not a single living beast or even a flying bird.
As night falls, the swamp becomes even darker. Occasionally, there are terrifying splashing sounds coming from the pond not far away, as if something is stirring in the water, which is particularly scary.
Terrifying ponds, dead mire... shrouded in mist, like a land of the dead.
Compared with the distance, all this is considered harmonious and quiet. From further away, there are waves of low roaring sounds from time to time, which can make one's scalp numb.
As the days passed, the swamp seemed to remain the same forever.
In the distance, there is a scary area that often emits loud roars, and tall giant shadows sometimes flash out. Looking through the mist lingering in the swamp makes people feel extremely scary when looking from a distance.
In the pond not far away, there would occasionally be huge commotion, as if some creature was being dragged into the unfathomable pond.
The gloomy swamp seems to never change.
Apart from grass covering the ground and white bones sunk deep in the mud, nothing else could be found.
Five full years have passed, and there are only a few bones in the swamp. Death and silence are the theme here, and it seems that it will continue forever.
It wasn't until one day that an uninvited guest broke into this place that it brought some life.
Oh no, it brought some death energy.
A lizard-like creature that is more than one meter long, with a snow-white body, without any flesh and blood, let alone radiant scales.
This is just a complete skeleton, with only a few faint lights flickering out of the skull.
It looked back nervously, and then cautiously observed the movements around it. After a long time, it was sure that there was no danger here, and then it slowly climbed into the swamp.
This place has become its territory, and only a weak being like it would choose such a dead swamp as its habitat.
The swamp has an owner. From then on, whenever midnight comes, the roaring in the distance continues, and all living creatures are attracted away, the lizard-like skeletons and beast bones hidden in the swamp will start to move.
It carefully turned over the white bones that were half submerged in the mud in the swamp, as if looking for something. Occasionally, it would turn over some bones with a little bit of light in the skull, and it would quickly use the stronger light in its skull to
Swallow and absorb.
Until one day, the lizard skeleton was no longer content to be confined to the swamp, and slowly crawled toward the pond ahead late at night. An unexpected incident happened.
The water splashed, and a scaly sharp claw, more than one meter long, suddenly came out of the water and scratched the lizard's skeleton into pieces, along with the ghostly light in the skull.
All this was seen, or perhaps should be said to be sensed, by a skull in the swamp.
This is not a complete skeleton, just a skull, mixed in a pile of animal bones, and it is difficult to notice.
Of course, if it is a conscious creature, it will definitely find something wrong.
Because this skull is actually covered with a layer of slightly transparent red cloth, like a bride's red hijab.
It had only just awakened a month ago, and it was the lizard skeleton that turned it over. Fortunately, the lizard skeleton ignored it at the time, otherwise the pitiful light in its skull would have been swallowed up.
This skull is white and round. It is different from other white bones. It is a human skull.
Although it had been awake for a month, it remained motionless, always observing everything around it, until the lizard skeleton was destroyed. It stayed silent for another week, with the extremely weak light in the skull flashing, seemingly at any time.
will go out.
The skull rolled forward hard, moving towards the skull of a reptile. It was very difficult for a skull like this to move in the swamp. It was only possible to accomplish all this with difficulty by relying on the faint light in the skull as a driving force.
The faint light in the skull swallowed up the even fainter light in the reptile skeleton. All of this was learned from the previous lizard skeleton. It was a very outstanding student, although it was still very weak, but
But there is a tendency that the blue is better than the blue.
It was obvious that after it absorbed some light from the skeleton, the dim light flashing in its eye sockets became a little brighter.
This snow-white skull began its difficult road of survival and growth. Although it had just awakened for only a month, it seemed to have unimaginable talents. It was alert and extremely cautious. It never strayed even half a step away from the safe area of the swamp, sometimes for ten and a half days.
I won't find any dim light in a month, but I am not impatient and do everything for the sake of safe survival.
Fortunately, there are countless bones in the swamp. After countless years of accumulation, it has become a death cemetery. Only a little light can be found every ten or eight days, but the snow-white skulls do not seem impatient, and there is progress when there are gains.
This is a difficult and slow process of survival and growth. A full year has passed, and the skull has rolled to every corner of the swamp.
Now its dim light has become much stronger and can fully support its smooth progress in the swamp.
But that's all, because the faint light occasionally found here is too weak, and even after a year of devouring it, there has been no qualitative change.
As the dim light became much stronger, the snow-white skull gradually turned its attention to the distant pond, where the broken bones of the lizard drum tower were still there. Each piece of the broken skull had a little faintness.
The light is flashing, and if it is absorbed, it will undoubtedly be much stronger than what it has gained after a year of hard work.
With the lessons learned before it clearly visible, it did not dare to act rashly, but chose to observe. After a whole month, it was finally sure that it could attack.
There is a giant monster in the pond, which also absorbs the ghost light, but it may be very powerful and cannot even see the broken lizard bones on the shore.
Most of its body is covered with scales, but it is still very imperfect, and the flesh and blood exposed in some places may not be that strong.
It goes ashore every four or five days to look for the dim light in the distance.
However, every time it made no sound and crawled out from the other side of the pond, so it could not be seen in the depths of the swamp.
It was a terrifying night. Terrifying howls could be heard in the distance. There seemed to be many dim lights flashing in the depths of the dense forest. The dormant beast in the pond was out again.
This was a rare opportunity for the skull, which had been watching it for a long time. It had already determined that there would be no other creatures or dangers in the pond, and Gululu rolled forward.
Quickly approaching the broken bones of the lizard, a little light shone out from the eye sockets, and began to absorb the fragmented light in the broken skull.
This was more than the total amount of ghost light he had absorbed in a year. It was relatively weak, and only one-third of it was absorbed by the second half of the night.
After looking at the dense forest outside the pond, it had to reluctantly return to the swamp.
But it suddenly looked towards the center of the pond, where there seemed to be a skeleton covered with a hazy red light.
For some reason, it seemed like it could feel the hazy bones calling it.
It already has immature thoughts and always feels that it is a human being, but where is its body?
