Zhang Xiaozu's heartbeat had never been so violent. The huge fear made his body freeze in place, and he did not dare to move. His only heartbeat was like beating a drum.
He never imagined that he would be targeted by this person in the Scorched Earth Basin and even be caught in front of him.
More than ten steps away, Zhang Xiaozu could clearly see that only the bones of this huge body were left in front of his eyes.
But he is obviously not dead yet, at least not completely dead, otherwise Zhang Xiaozu would not be here.
An indescribably delicious and alluring fragrance kept drifting in front of Zhang Xiaozhu's nose, making his already beating heartbeat even more intense.
The crystal clear purple longevity fruit was just a little ahead on his right, and he could pick it by just reaching out.
Faced with such a huge temptation, it is difficult not to be tempted. Zhang Xiaozu was very tempted, but he did not dare to act.
Because he knew that if he dared to raise a finger to the longevity fruit, the withered bones in front of him would kill him on the spot.
"Master, don't be afraid." The ghost's voice sounded in Zhang Xiaozu's mind.
Immediately, a touch of coolness spread between Zhang Xiaozu's brows, instantly calming down his fearful and panicked heart.
Zhang Xiaozu immediately took three big steps to the left to show his attitude that he had no wrong thoughts about the longevity fruit.
Well, to be precise, I dare not.
Then I asked the ghost in my heart: "You were so scared before that you wouldn't let me get close to the Scorched Earth Basin. Why are you not scared now?"
The ghost replied: "I was afraid that it was because I felt he was targeting us. He didn't pull you away from the Phoenix Mountain Valley to save you, but to capture you, but he was interrupted by these extraterrestrial visitors.
He wants to arrest us, of course I am afraid.
But when I got closer to him, I felt that he had a familiar and friendly feeling, and I felt that he would not hurt us, so I was not afraid."
"Could he be your former master?" Zhang Xiaozhu said in shock upon hearing this.
He had previously heard Ghost Spirit say that she felt enmity with the Holy Beast Lords, so he wondered if Ghost Spirit's previous owner was the one in the Scorched Earth Basin.
But now after listening to the ghost spirit's words, he felt that he was certain that the ghost spirit's previous owner was this one.
This can also explain why he was targeted by this person. This person was not targeting him, but the ghost.
"Ling'er doesn't know." Guiling replied.
Zhang Xiaozu fell into silence looking at the huge withered bones, thinking that if everything went as he guessed, he would soon lose his ghost spirit.
"Master, Ling'er just feels a sense of intimacy with him, but is not willing to leave his master and follow him." Gui Ling was inspired by what Zhang Xiaozu was thinking, and quickly explained aloud.
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaozu felt warm in his heart.
This thank you is not only to thank Gui Ling for her loyalty, but also to thank her for the selfless help she has given him.
He was mentally prepared to part with the ghosts.
Because if the person in front of him really wanted to take the ghost back, he and the ghost would have no power to resist.
Furthermore, with the other party's powerful means, it may be easy for the ghost to restore its previous memories, or to erase the memory of the ghost's time with him, and whether it is the former or the latter, the ghost should not be able to
Choose to follow him again.
"Master, don't be sad. Grandpa is probably not dead yet. He and the red dragon were sucked into another dimension and were not burned to death by the Phoenix's Nirvana fire."
The ghosts also knew that what happened next was beyond their control, so they told Zhang Xiaozu what they had not had time to say before, so as not to have the chance to say it later, and at the same time to appease Zhang Xiaozu's sad mood.
"What you said...is it true?!" Zhang Xiaozhu trembled with excitement when he heard this.
"It's true, I felt it right then." Guiling confirmed.
"Then why didn't you say it?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked with a smile and anger.
Ghost Ling said: "Before, we were locked by this person's Qi machine, and then we were scanned by the consciousness of these first-generation guardians. Ling'er was afraid of exposing his aura, so he didn't find a chance to tell you, Master."
Zhang Xiaozu nodded in understanding, then took a long breath, his gloomy mood suddenly relaxed, and he said happily: "Grandpa is fine, it's great."
Then he asked the ghost: "Do you know which dimension they were sucked to?"
"I don't know Ling'er, but with Lord Chilong's protection, grandpa will definitely not be in danger." Ghost Ling comforted him.
"Yeah." Thinking of Chi Long's sincere chivalry, Zhang Xiaozu nodded with relief, trying not to think the worst.
His mood improved, and Zhang Xiaozu's thoughts became active. He boldly raised his head to observe the huge withered bones in front of him, and saluted respectfully: "Junior Zhang Xiaozu, I would like to pay my respects to my senior."
The withered bones remained motionless and did not respond at all.
"Gui Ling, can you recall things about him?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked Gui Ling in his mind.
"I can't remember." Ghost replied.
Seeing that the withered bones were still motionless, Zhang Xiaozu said boldly: "If senior has nothing to say, I will go back now."
Dry Bones still didn't respond.
Zhang Xiaozhu was puzzled. He didn't understand why Dry Bones didn't say anything or do anything after he was captured. What kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd?
"Senior, please take a rest, junior, take your leave." Zhang Xiaozu bowed respectfully, then turned around slowly.
Seeing that Dry Bones still didn't respond, he boldly took another step forward.
"Could he be asleep?"
Zhang Xiaozhu guessed that this thought made him unable to suppress a burst of joy, and he quickly raised his feet, two steps, three steps - ten steps -
Suddenly, his step forward stopped in the air, and then he pulled it back with a frightened expression, because taking another step forward would be scorched earth.
Zhang Xiaozu's joyful mood suddenly sank, and then he realized that the place he was standing on was like a small island, surrounded by scorched earth more than a thousand feet away.
Even if the dry bones don't stop him, he has nowhere to go.
Even if the scorched earth couldn't stop him, he couldn't get out.
Because the Scorched Earth Basin has been surrounded by the first-generation guardians, if he walks out like that, he will definitely be caught by the first-generation guardians, and he will probably die.
Zhang Xiaozu turned around dejectedly, preparing to find an inconspicuous corner to huddle up, hoping that the first-generation guardians would not see him.
But this is obviously a luxury, unless he takes off the clothes on the dead body and hides in his empty belly.
But he didn't have the courage.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaozu only felt uncomfortable with the thorns all over his body, and felt that every pore on his body had been looked at by the first-generation guardians.
"Yan Taibai, have you also borrowed a corpse to bring back the soul?" A thunderous question came from outside the Scorched Earth Basin, exploding in Zhang Xiaozu's ears.
Zhang Xiaozhu's ears were buzzing, his energy and blood surged in his body, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
This shouting question revealed two important messages to him.
First of all, the name of the withered skeleton in front of me is Yan Taibai, and secondly, these first-generation inheritors all came back to life through corpses, otherwise that person would not be able to say the word "ye".
Suddenly his eyes trembled, and a frightening thought emerged in his heart.
He stopped and turned to look in the direction of Phoenix Mountain, his eyes falling on the face of the woman in red on the back of the Phoenix skeleton.
That's Su Jin's face.
Zhang Xiaozu understood in an instant that the woman in red was his husband Su Jin, but there was no Su Jin's soul in her body.
There may still be a little bit left, but it shouldn't take long before the first-generation Phoenix Guardians completely obliterate them.
He suddenly understood why the woman in red had let him go after discovering him on Phoenix Mountain. He thought it was her husband who used her remaining consciousness to intercede for him.
That smile was the last smile Mr. gave him.
"Sir!" Zhang Xiaozhu called urgently to Su Jin in red with tears in his eyes.
But what Su Jin in red gave him back was an expressionless face and a cold and unfamiliar word: "You are not Yan Taibai!"
"You are not my husband!" Zhang Xiaozhu glared at Su Jin in red, clenched his fists and warned: "I don't care who you are, please get out of my husband's body quickly. If you insist on hurting my husband, I will
I swear I will fight you until death."
"Hmph, I have spared your life just now, so don't be ungrateful." Su Jin in red snorted coldly.
"Haha, does that mean Yan Taibai is dead?" The man in green on Qinglong's back laughed loudly, then looked at Zhang Xiaozu and ordered: "Boy, pick off the soul-reviving fruit behind you, and then bring it to me.
, this god gives you endless life."
"Boy, if you pick the soul-reviving fruit for me, I will leave your husband's body." Su Jin in red made a condition to Zhang Xiaozu.
"Haha, Shenfeng, why are you lying to a child? This woman's soul has been swallowed by you, how can you spit it out?" The woman on Bai Ze's back exposed the lie of Su Jin in red.
Su Jin in red sneered and said: "I am not as shameless as you, snatching someone else's body and swallowing their soul. I am only temporarily sharing one body with this woman, and I will take charge of her body after she dies."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it sounds better to say it than to sing it. Your soul is so powerful and you share one body with hers. Can her weak soul be able to withstand the oppression of your divine power? Geez, I guess she will die in less than half a year." Teng
The charming woman on the snake's back joked.
"Huh!" Su Jin in red snorted without making any rebuttal.
Zhang Xiaozhu's heart ached like a knife.
He suddenly turned around and strode towards the withered bones, knelt down in front of them and begged: "Senior, please save my husband. No matter what the conditions, I will agree to it."
But Dry Bones didn't respond to him.
"Is Yan Taibai still alive?" When the man on Qilin's back heard Zhang Xiaozu's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce light flashed inside.
"Taibai, are you still alive? I'm Feng'er." Su Jin in red looked at the withered bones, and tenderness suddenly appeared on her expressionless face.
When Zhang Xiaozhu heard the tender words of Su Jin in red, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he knew that he had begged the wrong person.
"Hmph, you are trying to be mysterious! Let me see if you are dead or not!" The man in green shouted coldly, and the corpses and living people on the ground controlled by him immediately stepped onto the scorched earth basin.
