They were, however, strangers to this world. Even if Zendaya had been here for two years, she had never seen any bone demons that could transform into humans nor bone demons that could speak and communicate.“There’s a force field here!” Mystic Maiden exclaimed.The three people were getting more surprised. That catfish couldn’t have set up the spell formation, right?Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens’ achievements in spell formations far surpassed Alex’s. After casually fumbling around for a while, she saw the trick of this formation. She then spent a minute cracking it open.She stepped in.Alex and Zendaya followed closely.Whoosh!They seemed to have entered another dimension.The water around them receded, and the dry and clean stone chamber was protected by the spell formation’s force field. Even the air was still fresh, with thick heaven and earth spiritual energy floating around.Immediately afterward, they saw a person’s... skeleton.Alex, fully vigilant, immediately
“D*mn! What’s going on? You’ve scaled new heights, and your gray patterns have become green after going out for a trip?”Pigsy screamed when it saw Alex and the others who had returned to the cave, especially that string of green bone patterns on Mystic Maiden.This was a major change in level!Alex smiled at it. He took out a huge bone covered with green patterns and shook it with a hand’s turn.Pigsy shouted excitedly, “Oh my, Boss, you’re so kind. You’re my forever...”Before it could finish its words, Alex threw the bone at Shirley. Shirley grabbed it.“Uh, this...”“Boss, this... this is for me, right?”Pigsy was anxious.However, Alex ignored it and said to Shirley, “You’ve worked hard. This is a little token of appreciation.”After saying that, he took out another two huge bones and put them next to Shirley’s feet.Shirley looked up at Alex. Although she had no eyeballs and skin and her features were not visible, she had to be feeling excited and shocked at this momen
“This is... a car, right?”Nonetheless, the crowd could not even open the door even after studying it for a good while.No one recognized the writing on the few books that had been taken out either. Since they understood nothing about the writing, they could only throw them back into the ring and ignore them in the end.As expected, no green patterns showed up after Shirley absorbed the bone patterns.However, the golden bone patterns on her chest were visibly a little denser and more lustrous.She burped and said, “I know where the man-faced spider’s lair is. Do you want to go on another expedition?”Alex had this idea long ago.However, the man-faced spider had emerged to chase them. The path was clearly a little long, and he did not know where to find it.He agreed to it as soon as Shirley said that.However, there shouldn’t be too many members.Having used her skill consecutively, Mystic Maiden was now mentally exhausted and did not want to move.Zendaya also said that s
“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Protect me! Protect me!”They saw countless densely packed spiders rushing over, so white, some black, and some colorful. They weren’t all just bones and carapaces, but they also had translucent mucus...Most importantly, not only could these things jump, but they could even fly.Shirley was so frightened she let out a mad shriek. She hid behind Alex and even jumped onto him.Alex was helpless. “Shouldn’t you have mentally prepared yourself when you came in? Why are you still afraid of these things?”As he mocked Shirley, he summoned his thundering flames and formed a barrier, burning the spiders till they crackled and popped. In fact, with the ability of the golden bone patterns on her chest, she shouldn’t have been afraid of getting bitten... such small spiders probably could not even bite through her.Swoosh!Many were burned to death when the spiders encountered the thundering flames, and those at the rear retreated.Shirley jumped off Alex and said, "
Shirley hysterically screamed for a while.She tried to get rid of those little things on her with all her might.Alex watched her bouncing and rolling around, violently impacting the ground to the point the spider lair almost collapsed. Speechless, he rushed over to help save her.“Here, here, and here...“There are more here!”The last man-faced spider was stuck between her thigh and hip bone, so Alex reached in and pulled it out bit by bit. It was a simply indescribable scene.After everything was cleaned up, the entire spider cave was devoid of any living spiders.All the living ones had fled.Alex sincerely suggested, “You should really wear pants. This is so... bare. Such an awkward incident will happen sometimes.”Shirley glared at him. “That goes without saying!”She decided to wrap herself up with whatever she saw.Next, it was time to enjoy the profits.The two people glanced at each other before slowly approaching the pool of water.Shirley said, “You should try
Alex was completely surprised. He had just rushed over to prevent that figure hidden on the tree from possessing Shirley, but the environment he saw turned out to be an ancient American-styled courtyard.Where was Shirley Hancock?Where was that black figure?“Mommy. Mommy, get up. Wake up. Don’t sleep anymore...“Mommy, you’re bleeding. So much blood...”A child-like voice rang in Alex’s ears.The voice came from the interior of the courtyard. It sounded like a little girl, her voice carrying a crying tone, fear, and a bit of something else.Alex went over, only to be astonished.In the courtyard’s room, he saw a young lady lying in a pool of blood. A large amount was still flowing from her chest, and there was a deep wound on her neck.Blood was all over her body and the ground.A little girl, around three, kneeled on the ground and shook the lady while crying and trembling. She was probably still oblivious to what death was but seemed to have understood something from that
Bong! Bong! Bong!A series of explosive ringing of the Requiem Clock finally forced out the black figure lurking in the lady’s corpse. That was still a black shadow, but a woman's contour was visible.She furiously screamed, “Abomination! How dare you ruin my important business?! Go to hell!”The black shadow directly rushed toward Alex.However, Alex had the Requiem Clock in his hand. This was a holy Buddhist tool, and it shocked the black shadow to the point her soul trembled, and she couldn't stop screaming.Then, she ran, rushing out of the dream world.Alex also sensed that the scene before him was changing. He had escaped the dreamworld and returned to the deepest part of the spider lair, standing in the chilly water pool.“Shirley Hancock, wake up!”Alex grabbed her hand and pulled her away from that strange tree.Shirley woke up and shook her head. “What’s wrong with me?”Alex said, “Your soul was almost possessed. This tree is strange. Hurry up and leave this water p
When Shelly saw him reacting vigorously while searching the woman’s soul, she could not help but feel overwrought. “What’s wrong? What did you see?” she asked.Alex slowly let his hand go.Meanwhile, that woman was already in a muddled state after her main soul had received severe damage. The old iron chain of Persephone’s Folly Bridge didn’t intend to let her go and soon dragged her under the bridge.Over there, the River Styx was surging.Her soul immediately sank into the water without even having time to bubble on it.Alex looked at Shelly. “The Pool of Afterlife. We can truly return to the mortal realm and reshape our flesh and blood vessels only if we enter the Pool of the Afterlife. And, this place is known as the Underworld.”Shelly froze for a brief moment. “I think I’ve heard of it somewhere...”Alex said, “There’s another important point. Each person who enters this place will be given a hundred years. They have to be reborn within that time, and those who fail can on
