Chapter 91

Liu Ming smiled slightly, put away the spirit bone, and continued to move forward along the passage.

Seven days later, in an unusually spacious underground cave of the Ten Thousand Bone Cavern.

Liu Ming transformed into a shadow, darting around to avoid the pursuit of several snake skeleton ghosts. He muttered incantations, raised his hands, and several green wind blades shot out in succession, instantly slicing the snake skeleton ghosts into several pieces.

At the severed parts of these skeleton ghosts, a grayish-white mist surged out, then pulled the separated bodies back together. After a roll on the ground, they were restored to their original state.

But in this brief delay, several black lines flashed, piercing through the heads of two snake skeleton ghosts. With a slight shake, the heads of the skeleton ghosts were shattered.

At the same time, Liu Ming's figure blurred, and he approached the last snake skeleton ghost at an incredible angle. He grabbed the ghost by the throat, and a yellow tiger head flashed on his wrist, releasing a sound wave that shattered the ghost's head.

Three black spheres immediately rolled out!

...

Half a month later, in a passage of the second level of the Ten Thousand Bone Cavern, Liu Ming looked at a tall skeleton ghost that resembled a gorilla with a serious expression.

This ghost was different from the others; it had some ring-shaped, thick bone joints on its body, and its eyes flickered with green flames, as if it possessed a hint of intelligence.

Not far away, the white bone scorpion emitted a surge of green gas, its black hook tail standing straight, ready for a fierce battle.

This skeleton ghost was clearly a fierce-level ghost!

Thus, Liu Ming had to treat it with great caution.

The gorilla-like skeleton ghost let out a low roar, and its long arms slammed into the ground, causing a yellow mist to ripple out from its feet.

In an instant, the ground shook, and Liu Ming, caught off guard, stumbled.

The gorilla skeleton ghost took this opportunity, stomped its feet, and its body shot toward Liu Ming like a massive rock.

Before it even hit, a strong wind swept over, creating a formidable momentum!

But Liu Ming, facing this situation, did not dodge. He simply flicked his sleeve, and a green light flashed.

With a "pu" sound,

The massive body of the gorilla skeleton ghost split into two halves, passing by Liu Ming and falling heavily to the ground, unable to move.

The white bone scorpion let out a "wuu" sound and immediately rushed over, using its large pincers to cut the gorilla skeleton ghost into a pile of broken bones.

With a "swoosh" sound,

A black mist enveloped a thumb-sized black sphere, shooting out from the pile of bones. But a black line flashed, and a shiny black scorpion hook struck the black mist.

The sphere trembled and flew out of the black mist.

The white bone scorpion leaped up, its large pincers blurring as they clamped the sphere. It then opened its mouth and sucked in the dissipating black mist, emitting a joyful cry.

It seemed that the black mist was very beneficial to it.

"Since I've already benefited, I'll keep this fierce-level foul sphere. After all, I can't leave without making any contribution." Liu Ming, who had just revealed a green short sword from his sleeve, put it away and smiled.

At this moment, his face was slightly pale, clearly having expended a lot of magic power with that strike, but his expression was very satisfied.

He had used the spirit weapon short sword, and although he only activated the first layer of the restriction, its power was far beyond his imagination, and even a fierce-level ghost could not withstand its force.

The white bone scorpion tilted its head to look at the large pincer sphere, seemingly reluctant, but after a moment, it moved over and placed the black sphere at Liu Ming's feet.

Liu Ming nodded, bent down to pat the white bone scorpion's back, and then picked up the black sphere with one hand, examining it closely.

This foul sphere was much larger than the previous ones, and its color was even darker and shinier, giving a strange feeling as if it could suck in one's mind.

Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, then put the sphere away and continued forward with the white bone scorpion.

A month later, at the entrance where Liu Ming had initially entered, two gray clouds suddenly descended, revealing two figures.

One had pointed ears and a monkey-like face, with eyes that flickered unpredictably. The other wore a black robe, with a gloomy expression, and was none other than Sima Tian of the Yinsha Sect.

"That kid went in here, are you sure?" Sima Tian glanced at the entrance and said indifferently.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Sima. I wouldn't dare to be careless with the task you entrusted me. Although I followed from a distance and didn't get close, and this area has multiple entrances, I later checked them all, and only this entrance showed signs of recent entry. It can't be wrong." The man with pointed ears and a monkey-like face chuckled.

"Good, this is the agreed payment. If I don't find the person I'm looking for, I'll demand double." Sima Tian raised his hand, threw a mid-grade spirit stone, and said coldly.

"Senior Brother Sima, don't joke. If you don't find him, it's not necessarily... wait..." The man with pointed ears and a monkey-like face caught the spirit stone but immediately became unhappy upon hearing Sima Tian's words.

But at this moment, Sima Tian had already flashed into the entrance.

"That guy is still as arrogant as before. Whatever. With his tracking skills, he should easily find the person he's looking for. I'll just keep the hundred spirit stones." The man with pointed ears and a monkey-like face shook his head, then smiled and left.

...

Liu Ming, of course, had no idea that someone was looking for him. He was standing in front of a passage entrance where gray mist rolled, his eyes narrowed as he observed something.

On a flat wall near the entrance, there were several large, bright red characters: "Third Level Entrance."

"Moving forward is the third level of the Ten Thousand Bone Cavern. I've heard that the number of fierce-level skeleton ghosts here far exceeds the first two levels. But this also means that the rewards for entering this level are much greater." Liu Ming muttered to himself and then led the white bone scorpion into the passage.

...

Two months later, in a giant stone cave filled with various sharp stalactites, Liu Ming and the white bone scorpion were engaged in a fierce battle with a massive, human-shaped skeleton several dozen feet tall.

This skeleton was very different from the human-shaped skeleton ghosts Liu Ming had encountered before. It wore a rusted iron armor and held a nearly half-broken axe. Its body was enveloped in gray mist, and it moved with lightning speed, but when it swung its axe, it was abnormally slow.

However, both Liu Ming and the white bone scorpion treated the axe with great caution, avoiding it from a distance and not daring to let it get close.

Once, the white bone scorpion was slightly slow in dodging, and the axe, though still several feet away, caused a loud "boom" as if it had been hit hard, sending it flying several dozen feet away with a thin crack appearing on its back.

At this moment, Liu Ming let out a low roar, brought his hands together and apart, and a giant wind blade over half a zhang long appeared. With a flick of his arm, it transformed into a green light and shot out.

With a "pu" sound,

This time, it was the armored skeleton that was sent flying backward, crashing into a thick stalactite. Its iron armor and most of its body were sliced open, and the giant wind blade was embedded in it like half a door panel.

The skeleton let out a low roar, swung its axe, and shattered the giant wind blade. Gray mist surged from the wound, quickly healing it.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "chi chi" sound, and several black lines flashed, piercing through various parts of the skeleton's body. Then, a black hook tail descended from the sky, blurring and embedding itself firmly into the skeleton's skull, spreading a black, water-like substance.

Green mist rolled from the top of the cave, and the white bone scorpion's half-body emerged from the stone.

The giant skeleton's eyes flickered with green flames, and it moved one arm, grabbing the scorpion's tail. With a seemingly ordinary pull, it yanked the scorpion out of the cave ceiling, causing it to bleed. It then shook it, trying to daze it.

But at this moment, a thick black rope shot from a distance, flashing and tightly binding the skeleton.

At the same time, Liu Ming began to chant, brought his hands together in front of his chest, and a red fireball appeared in the air, growing larger with his incantations. In a moment, it had grown to several feet in size, emitting intense heat.

The distant human-shaped skeleton, seeing this, seemed to realize the danger. It let out a fierce howl, and its arms strained, causing the black rope to "sizzle" and begin to break, trying to free itself.

At this moment, Liu Ming's incantation stopped, and the giant fireball shot out with a roar, blurring and enveloping the human-shaped skeleton in a red light.

A deafening explosion!

A mushroom-shaped black and red fire cloud shot into the sky!

The entire cave trembled, and a scorching heat wave swept out, cutting through nearby stalactites and sending countless rocks crashing into the cave walls.

The white bone scorpion, under Liu Ming's mental command, had already disappeared into the ground in advance.

Liu Ming, facing this scene, remained calm, his eyes fixed on the black fire cloud.

After several rolls, the fire cloud gradually dissipated, and the human-shaped skeleton, which should have been there, was nowhere to be found, leaving only a small piece of iron armor and half an axe blade on the ground.

Liu Ming took a deep breath and did not immediately approach. Instead, he turned around and said calmly to the cave entrance behind him:

"Brother Sima, since you've been watching for so long, shouldn't you come out and meet me?"

(Hehe, I'm going to Guangzhou to attend the annual author conference tomorrow. I'll be back on the 16th. As a homebody, I probably only have a few days each year to interact with other authors.)
