The mist lingered in the dark swamp, and the smell of decay 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, terrifying splashing sounds can be heard from the pond not far away, as if there is a giant thing rolling in the water, which is particularly scary.
Horrifying ponds, dead mire... shrouded in mist, like a dead land.
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, and there is nothing else to be found except rotten grass and bones sunken deep in the mud.
A full ten 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.
Until one day, a strange and uninvited guest broke into this place, bringing a little life, oh no, some death.
A crocodile-like creature that is more than one meter long is all white and has no flesh and blood, let alone bright scales. It is just a complete skeleton, with only a little faint light shining from 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 a place to live.
The swamp has an owner. From then on, whenever midnight comes, the roar in the distance continues, and all living creatures are attracted away, the crocodile-like skeletons hidden in the swamp will start to move.
It carefully turned over the 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 light in their skulls, and it would quickly engulf them with the stronger light in its own skull.
absorb.
Until one day, Crocodile Bones was no longer content to be confined to the swamp, and slowly crawled toward the pond in front of him late at night. An unexpected incident happened.
The water splashed, and the scaly claws, which were more than one meter long, suddenly came out of the water and violently clawed the crocodile'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. It had just awakened for less than a month, and the crocodile skeleton turned it out. Fortunately, the crocodile bones were turned out at that time.
Ignore it, otherwise the pitiful light in its skull will surely be 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 crocodile bone 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 crocodile 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 has begun its difficult road of survival and growth. Although it has just awakened for only a month, it seems to have unimaginable talents. It is alert and extremely cautious. It never strays even half a step away from the safe area of the swamp, sometimes for ten days.
I won't find any "fire" in half 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 "fire" can be found every ten or eight days, but the snow-white skulls do not seem to be impatient, and there is progress when there are gains.
This was a difficult and slow process of survival and growth. Three years later, the skull rolled to every corner of the swamp.
Now its fire has become much stronger and can fully support it to move forward smoothly in the swamp. But that's all, because the fire that is occasionally found here is too weak. Even after three years of devouring it, it has not happened.
qualitative change.
As the fire became much stronger, the snow-white skull gradually turned its attention to the distant pond, where the broken crocodile bones were still there. There was a faint light on each piece of the broken skull.
Flash, if it absorbs these, it will undoubtedly be much stronger than what it has gained from three years 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 beast in the pond, which also absorbs fire, but it may be very powerful, and it cannot even see the crocodile bones that were smashed by it on the shore. Most of its body is covered with scales, but it is still very imperfect.
, the exposed flesh and blood in some places is rotten, and it has to go ashore every four or five days to look for "fire" 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. It seemed that many fires were 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.
He quickly approached the crocodile bone, and a little light shone from the eye socket, and began to absorb the fragmented fire in the broken skull. This was more than the total amount of fire he had absorbed in the past three years. It was still relatively weak, and it was not there until late at night.
But only one third was absorbed.
After looking at the dense forest outside the pond, it reluctantly returned to the swamp. Sure enough, soon the vicious creature returned to the pond, stirring up a terrifying sound of water waves. After a while, it returned to deathly silence.
The evil creatures in the pond go out every four or five days, and the skulls in the mire finally get another chance.
This time, it acted quickly, seizing every moment and trying its best to absorb the remaining fire attached to the ancient crocodile fragments.
In the second half of the night, it finally completely absorbed it and rushed back into the swamp. It felt much stronger. It was not blocked by the mud when rolling, and it was extremely fast.
This may be said to be a transformation. It has more power and may be able to explore outside the swamp.
The big guy in the pond is still a big threat to it, and it can't be provoked at all.
The skull is undoubtedly cautious. It knows that it is already the lord in the swamp, but it may still be weak in the outside world.
It wasn't until half a month after exploring for a long time that it rolled out of the swamp. The woodland outside the swamp was really vast. Soon it heard roars, as if there were powerful creatures fighting.
It doesn't dare to stray too far from the swamp, it just hangs around.
"Crack, click, click..."
Later in the night, there were sounds of joints moving from behind the big tree in front of him, and a snow-white jackal skeleton walked toward him with stiff steps.
The skull seemed to be facing a powerful enemy, but it did not flinch. Its fire was stronger than the opponent's, but its body was not as agile as the opponent's.
Although the jackal's steps were stiff, it jumped up at the critical moment and pounced from the side. Holding down the skull, it quickly approached it, intending to forcefully swallow it and then retreat.
However, the snow-white skull seemed to have anticipated all this. When the wolf's kiss came, it quickly turned, its eyes were facing the wolf's head, and it shot two beams of light, which quickly swallowed up nearly 20% of the jackal's fire.
The jackal backed away in anger and wanted to retreat but was unwilling to do so. It circled around the skull and finally swooped in again. But this time, the skull was even bolder. Most of the fire in the skull flew out and connected with the charging jackal's head.
, the fire was swallowed up continuously.
It seems to be very talented in fighting, and its instincts guide it on how to become stronger.
The battle is over, the skull is victorious, and the fire has become stronger.
The snow-white skull seemed to have a little luster and was stronger than before. This was the effect of moisture from fire. Moreover, the skull rolled around the jackal's skeleton a few times, and then actually knocked the jackal's skull off. It thought to itself
Continue to the wolf's skeleton.
After trying several times without success, it finally managed to continue with the help of the light of fire. It wanted to become stronger and have more powerful fighting power.
In the past month, a jackal skeleton with a human skull appeared near the dark swamp. Its range of activities was constantly expanding. On this day, he finally saw how terrifying its powerful kind was. The powerful fire was comparable to
The bright moon can tear apart towering ancient trees and shatter huge rocks.
The area ahead is a place where strong men roam. There are too many dangers there. It dare not approach and can only wander far away from the periphery.
It wants to get out of this dark forest one day, but it must pass through the territory of the strong. Only by becoming stronger can it be able to understand the outside world.
"Crack, click, click"
When he was approaching the swamp area in danger, the white skeletons of two cheetahs showed their advantage in speed and were rushing towards him from a distance.
The jackal skeleton held up the human skull, quickly hid behind a giant tree, easily and clearly resolved the terrifying collision, and then rushed towards a leopard skeleton without showing any signs of weakness.
The light of fire emanated from the eye sockets. It was obviously more powerful than the cheetah and quickly absorbed most of the fire from a prey. But another leopard bone also rushed forward and hit the jackal's body with a bang.
"With a sound, the jackal's body fell apart.
But the skull was very dexterous. It ducked aside, lured the enemy deeper, and then rolled up violently, swallowing up most of the cheetah's fire.
Both cheetahs lost their fighting power and could only let the human skull absorb their power.
A year later, the skull had replaced the skeleton that supported it with a pair of majestic tiger bones, and it dared to go deeper into the dense forest.
I don’t know how vast this forest is. It is shrouded in mist all year round, which is difficult to disperse. There are strict territorial divisions in the dense forest. The skull vaguely knows that there seems to be a "king" in the area where it is located, and
There seems to be a more powerful "king" further away.
The skull continued to explore. He wanted to get out of this secluded forest and go to the outside world.
Suddenly, a sense of danger appeared. Although there was no sound of moving joints, the skull knew that a powerful creature was approaching. Its fire had become much stronger over the past year, and it could sense some danger in advance.
"boom"
It encountered a sneak attack, and the hind limb bones of the giant tiger's skeleton were severed. It almost fell to the ground and rushed forward quickly, but due to the lack of a leg bone, its movement was very inconvenient.
A human skeleton caught up with him at a nimble pace, holding a bone knife in his hand, and struck hard at another tiger leg bone again.
"Click"
The bone knife successfully separated the two hind leg bones of the tiger skeleton. This was obviously a powerful and combat-intelligent skeleton that knew how to quickly weaken its opponent.
The skull was not panicked, but instead rippled with abnormal fluctuations upon seeing the human skeleton.
"Chi"
The sound of breaking through the sky came again. The humanoid skeleton was very strong and the fire was very strong. The huge bone knife was swung with a sound of breaking through the sky.
The tiger bone did not dodge, and allowed the opponent to slash at its waist and abdomen. It was not until the bone knife shattered its spine that the skull used the powerful impact force to bounce up and hit the skull of the humanoid skeleton.
This is the skull's own killer move after many battles. The humanoid skeleton obviously did not expect that the opponent would use "Flying Head" and failed to avoid it.
The sneak attack was successful. Two beams of light shot out from the eye sockets. The bouncing skull swallowed nearly half of the humanoid skeleton's fire. Moreover, it successfully knocked off the opponent's head, and finally won, completely swallowing up the opponent's power.
Tinder.
The fire became more powerful, and the most important thing was that it found a suitable body frame. When it stood up in human form, its strength increased a lot.
It can now swing its fists and feet, and it is no longer afraid of other people of the same kind. Then it holds the hard bone knife on the ground in its hand to fully enhance its combat power.
"My name is Xiao." He sent out such mental fluctuations and gave himself a name.
"boom"
Ahead, two terrifying mental waves came. Two humanoid creatures with huge rotten wings, both three meters tall, faced each other holding long, hard and sharp bone swords.
A foreign "king" broke into the territory of the "king" in this area, and a battle was inevitable.
Xiao tightly held the bone knife in his hand. He hid in the dark and watched from a distance. He wanted to become stronger so that he could defeat these "kings". He wanted to break out of the secluded forest and explore the unknown world.
