Chapter 916 - Bone Legion
Chapter 916 Bone Legion
The Little Witch said, “Sister Murong, you don’t have to regret it. I won’t use this kind of thing even if I have it. It’s disgusting to think of smearing urine on my body.”
Tu Jiaojiao also added, “That’s true. I won’t use such a thing, too.”
Murong Jinghong said, “Of course, I also hate it, but if we want to get past the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants to the second floor, we must use the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid. There is no other way.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Jinghong Fairy, do you mean that the reason why the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid can restrain the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants is that it contains the dragon bloodline?”
Murong Jinghong nodded. “Indeed. Although the dragon bloodline of the dragon ape is extremely weak, it’s still the dragon bloodline. It can suppress all low-level creatures.”
Qin Haodong said, “Then you don’t have to worry. We can go there without the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid.”
“That’s impossible. Although my sword can injure the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants, there are too many of them. Attacking them head-on is impossible.
“Once we’re halfway there, we can’t get through, neither can we get back, too. At that time, everyone will become food for the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants.”
In Murong Jinghong’s view, Qin Haodong wanted to use the power of his sword to force his way through.
“I don’t want to force our way through. I plan to sit on it,” Qin Haodong said as he summoned the Three-legged Golden Toad out of the Spirit Beast Pouch.
This demonic beast possessed Taotie’s bloodline, no less than the dragon bloodline of the dragon ape.
“Goo-ga…”
As soon as the Three-legged Golden Toad appeared, it threw its head back and roared.
The group did not feel there was anything special about its roar, but the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants were scared out of their wits and dropped to the ground. Then, they flew to the side in a panic.
The dragon bloodline of the Three-legged Golden Toad was much stronger than that of the dragon ape, so it naturally had a strong deterrent effect against these Illusory Spirit Flying Ants.
Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief. His method was really feasible. He said to everyone, “Everyone, get on its back. Let’s go together.”
“Little Brother, you’re so amazing.”
With a cheer, the Little Witch jumped on first. The others followed her and sat on the back of the Three-legged Golden Toad.
The Three-legged Golden Toad was already a seventh-level demonic beast, so it didn’t care that there were a few more people on its body. It flew in the air.
Everywhere it passed, the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants would all dodge, not showing the slightest courage to attack.
The speed of the Three-legged Golden Toad was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they caught up with You Wanjian, Xiao Yulong, and the others who were cautiously making their way through in front of them.
Although You Wanjian and the others were covered with Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid, the dragon bloodline of this liquid was weak. Therefore, it didn’t exude too much pressure on the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants.
The Illusory Spirit Flying Ants did not launch an attack but kept a close watch on them. Due to this, their progress was rather slow.
Suddenly, the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants flew to the side, so the pressure on them was less than before.
You Wanjian looked back in confusion. He saw Qin Haodong and the others coming over on the Three-legged Golden Toad.
Xiao Yulong looked at Murong Jinghong in surprise and asked, “You still have the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid on you?”
The Little Witch said first, “We don’t use that kind of thing. It stinks. Only trash like you would use it!”
Tu Jiaojiao covered her nose and said, “Don’t talk anymore. Let’s leave quickly. These people smell so bad. They stink.”
“You…”
Xiao Yulong was so angry. He usually prided himself on being a confident and cool person, so he had not been willing to use the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid. But now he had no choice. If he wanted to pass through to the second floor, he had to use this thing.
He said angrily, “Stop pretending. If you hadn’t used it, you would have been eaten up by the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants long ago!”
The Little Witch put her hands on her hips and said proudly, “Do you think my little brother is like you? This Three-legged Golden Toad has dragon bloodline in it, so we don’t need to smear the urine of the dragon ape on our bodies like you.”
After she finished speaking, the women burst out laughing. They looked at Xiao Yulong and the others with disdain in their eyes.
Tu Jiaojiao said to You Wanjian, “Stay away from me in the future. As long as you get within ten feet of me, I will break your legs immediately.”
Yun Qianqian said, “I can’t be bothered to look at people who smear urine on themselves!”
“Alright! Let’s go!”
Qin Haodong patted the Three-legged Golden Toad. Everyone passed the second floor in an instant.
“Bastard! Qin Haodong, I’ll never let you off the hook!”
You Wanjian was so angry that his face turned livid. He thought that he could play a trick on Qin Haodong this time. However, he didn’t expect that he would be humiliated again in the end.
He was drenched in the urine of the dragon ape. Qin Haodong sat on the divine beast and went over easily. Moreover, he even won the favor of all the beauties. The gap between them was too big.
Xiao Yulong said, “Don’t be angry. This is just the second floor. We’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Xue Pan said, “Let’s go. Or, we’ll be in trouble when the smell of the Dragon Ape Samsara Liquid dissipates.”
After the Three-legged Golden Toad passed through, the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants quickly gathered around and looked at them with their small blood-red eyes.
You Wanjian knew that he couldn’t stay here any longer, so he rushed to the third floor with the others.
With the help of the Three-legged Golden Toad, Qin Haodong and the others easily passed the second floor. When they stepped onto the stairs of the third floor, none of the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants were present.
The Little Witch asked, “Sister Murong, what’s on the third floor? Also a demonic beast?”
Murong Jinghong said with a serious look, “It’s not a demonic beast but more terrible than that.”
While they were talking, they arrived at the third floor. What appeared in front of them was a huge bone legion.
They were remains of various spirit beasts and humans with swords in their hands. Although these things stood still like specimens, an oppressively murderous aura emanated from their bodies.
“Big Brother Qin, I’m so scared!”
Zhao Xingyue grabbed Qin Haodong’s arm tightly.
“Just some dead things. What’s there to be afraid of?” Tu Jiaojiao said.
Murong Jinghong said, “Don’t underestimate these things. My ancestor’s handwritten records have described the bone legion.
“We are standing here. They are inanimate objects. Once we approach them, they will immediately come back to life and launch a crazy attack.”
“So powerful?”
Tu Jiaojiao didn’t quite believe and walked over to the remains of a Gale Wolf at the side.
As soon as she approached, the remains of the Gale Wolf suddenly resurrected and rushed toward her at lightning speed before she could launch an attack.
Although it had no flesh and blood, the strong bones and white teeth still brought great pressure to people.
Tu Jiaojiao was prepared. Brandishing the long sword in her hand, she slashed at the Gale Wolf’s skeleton.
Then she was shocked to find that although this Gale Wolf was already dead, there was a mysterious power within it. Its strength was at the fifth level.
“Senior Sister, come back!”
Qin Haodong called back Tu Jiaojiao. He naturally knew that the bone legion in front of him was formed by necromancy. Their combat capabilities should not be underestimated.
“These things are so powerful!”
Tu Jiaojiao asked Murong Jinghong, “Did your ancestor tell you how to deal with these things?”
Murong Jinghong said, “There’s no other way. We can only gather everyone’s strength to force our way in. It’s because of this that those who are familiar with the Seven Storeys Pagoda won’t kill each other before the third floor. They have to rely on each other’s strength to pass.”
Tu Jiaojiao nodded. “That seems to be the only way. If we have enough people, we can form a circle and work together.”
Fang Qiong’er frowned and said, “There are too few people now. Our strength is not enough. It seems that we can only wait for more people to come.”
Everyone had rueful looks on their faces. Originally, they were the first to pass through but now it seemed that they could only wait for the people behind them to arrive one after another.
“How is it? You can’t go, can you? Do you need our help?”
At this time, a stinky smell drifted over to them. You Wanjian, Xiao Yulong, and the others arrived on the third floor.
The Little Witch immediately covered her nose and said to them in disgust, “Stay away from us. You are stinky!”
You Wanjian’s expression froze for a moment. Then he said, “We are all students of the same academy. We should unite now in order to break through the blockade of the bone legion.”
It seemed that this guy had done his homework before. He was very familiar with the situation inside the Seven Storeys Pagoda.
Xiao Yulong said to Qin Haodong, “Whatever grievances we may have before, we need to work together now. Only by working together will we have a chance to pass.”
Originally, he thought that even if the other party had something against him, Qin Haodong could only agree to this request. After all, only by focusing their forces could they pass the test.
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “You think too much. We won’t cooperate with you.”
Xiao Yulong asked in surprise, “Why?”
Qin Haodong said jokingly, “No reason. Hongying just said that it’s because you’re stinky.”
“You…” Xiao Yulong said with a flushed face, “Qin Haodong, the most important thing now is to get to the third floor. It’s not the time to act on impulse.”
“I’m telling the truth,” Qin Haodong said, “I don’t need to join forces with you to go there. Why should I join hands with an enemy who can stab me in the back at any time?”
“Arrogant!” You Wanjian sneered and said, “Maybe you don’t know the strength of the bone legion. Although their levels are not high, each of them is only at the fifth or sixth level.
“However, there are too many of them. Additionally, they also possess the ability to revive at any moment. There is simply no way to kill them. If you do not join forces with us, you will not be able to survive.”
Murong Jinghong came to Qin Haodong and whispered, “It is not the time to act on impulse now. We can deal with them later.”
Although You Wanjian’s character was a little bad, his cultivation was the final stage of the Voiding Realm. Plus Xiao Yulong, Xue Pan, and the other eight students of the South Academy, their overall strength was very strong and was not much worse than Qin Haodong’s team.
Xue Pan said proudly, “Don’t pretend to be brave now. When you suffer, you’ll come and beg us.”
“You think too much. We don’t know who will be begging at that time.”
After Qin Haodong said that, he turned back and said to everyone, “Everyone, get ready. Let’s go together.”
Although they didn’t know how he would deal with the bone legion, they were still prepared for it out of trust in him.
Seeing that everyone was ready, with a thought, Qin Haodong took out the Demon-vanquishing Wand from his Storage Ring.
Buddhist light flared within the Seven Storeys Pagoda. The bone legion quickly crumbled after being illuminated, disintegrating into a pile of scattered bones.
The little girl cried out excitedly, “Little Brother, your treasure is really amazing. It’s simply the nemesis of the bone legion.”
“What the hell is this? It’s amazing!” Murong Jinghong gasped incredulously.
Qin Haodong smiled slightly. The Demon-vanquishing Wand was a Buddhist divine weapon, which was the best to deal with these kinds of undead creatures.
Xiao Yulong and the others were stunned. There was no Buddhism in the Lingwu Continent, so they naturally did not know what the wand was. But it could be seen that it was definitely a treasure that could restrain the undead creatures.
