Chapter 132 Battle in the Dungeon
"&$%&$%……" The skeleton monster roared again, and at the same time it stood up from the ground.
"Is it about to start a fight?" he asked.
"Look over there, what's that?" Guo Shiyi suddenly pointed behind the skeleton monster.
Qin Xiaochuan looked in the direction she pointed and, in the dim light of the glow stick, he could vaguely see a blue pattern printed on the wall behind the skeleton monster. The pattern had images of the four great gods in the four corners, and various strange patterns were next to the four images.
"What is that? Is it also a kind of formation?" he asked疑惑地问道.
"You could say that," Han Kexin frowned slightly, "but it's a sealing technique."
"A seal? You mean something is sealed inside?"
"It should be. If I'm not mistaken, this skeleton monster should be the one guarding this seal," Han Kexin said calmly.
"Is it still necessary for us to fight it?"
"Of course not!" Guo Shiyi exclaimed from the side. "Who knows what the witch clan sealed inside thousands of years ago? If it's some kind of monstrous monster, we wouldn't have enough lives to lose."
"Shiyi is right. Something that even the ancient witch clan doesn't trust must be extraordinary," Han Kexin said coldly. "However, the skeleton monster has already set its sights on us, so it probably won't be so easy for us to escape."
"So we still have to fight then," Qin Xiaochuan said nonchalantly. He had killed countless skeleton monsters along the way, and his fighting spirit was burning brightly. He had no reason to be afraid.
"Watch out!" Han Kexin shouted a warning. As soon as she finished speaking, more than a dozen bone spurs suddenly came from the front.
"It seems this skeleton monster is no ordinary creature. Not only can it talk, it also has some skills." Qin Xiaochuan dodged the skeleton monster's bone spikes by sidestepping, and with a thought, he threw a fireball at it.
The skeleton monster pulled out a thigh bone from its body and slammed it hard into the fireball. With a loud bang, the fireball turned into countless sparks that scattered in all directions. Then, it charged towards him quickly, carrying the thigh bone.
"Embrace of the Earth!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted in his heart, and two giant, yellowish-brown hands emerged from the ground, quickly grabbing the running skeleton monster.
"Even earth-based skills are weakened a lot in places like this," Guo Shiyi said from the side.
"There's no other way. There are stone slabs everywhere here, and no soil for me to use, so I can only rely on my spiritual power." He explained to the other party, "But it's okay, I still managed to catch it." As he spoke, he thought for a moment and cast a fireball on the skeleton monster. The flames instantly engulfed the skeleton monster's entire body, and a burnt smell filled the air.
"It was killed so easily? This skeleton monster isn't anything special. Is it really okay to let it guard such an important occasion?" He turned to the others and said casually.
"Perhaps the skeleton was quite powerful when it was alive, but it became so vulnerable because it turned into this form," Guo Shiyi explained with a smile.
Han Kexin frowned slightly and said, "I have a feeling it's not that simple."
Just as she said this, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly noticed that several more skeleton monsters had appeared behind the group. They were carrying all sorts of bone weapons, some using thigh bones as bone hammers, some using ribs as bone knives, and some using spinal cords as bone whips. They all leaped up from behind and hurled their weapons at the group.
"Get out of the way!" he shouted to everyone, and at the same time, he made a series of hand seals and released the "Explosive Flame Dance" skill. At this time, Han Kexin and the others also moved aside.
A loud "Bang!" echoed through the dungeon, and several skeleton monsters were all jolted back a few steps by the explosion. At the same time, his second skill, "Meteor Shower," was also unleashed.
Seeing the flames falling from the sky, the skeleton monsters simultaneously raised their left hands, and their hand bones instantly grew three or four times larger, causing the flames to fall onto their hand bones.
"What's going on? When did these skeleton monsters get to the back? How come we didn't notice them at all?" Guo Shiyi asked in surprise.
"We just confirmed that there's only one skeleton monster in the corridor. Where did these others come from?" Han Kexin was also a little puzzled.
The flames quickly devoured the hand bones of several skeleton monsters, but the rest of their bodies remained unharmed.
"These few seem to be quite resilient," Guo Shiyi said.
"That's not all." Han Kexin frowned; the skeletal monsters' burned hand bones had grown back.
"Even the burned parts can regenerate, doesn't that mean these guys are immortal?" Guo Shiyi said with a headache.
"You should say they're already dead; they're just moving skeletons now," Qin Xiaochuan corrected her.
"What's the difference? Even if they're already dead, we'll still kill them again," Guo Shiyi said speechlessly.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Just as they were discussing this, the skeleton monsters charged at them again, brandishing their weapons.
"Hurricane Blade!" Han Kexin shouted coldly, and a wind blade instantly sliced through all the monsters.
"Crash!" In an instant, all the skeleton monsters seemed to have been dismembered, their bones scattered on the ground, and in a moment the ground was covered with a layer of grayish-white bones.
"Meteor Shower." Qin Xiaochuan's skill followed immediately, burning all the bones to ashes.
"Auntie is amazing! This should be the end of it, right?" Xiaoying exclaimed happily from behind Feifei.
"Actually, Uncle deserves some credit too," Qin Xiaochuan said with a grin, taking credit for himself.
"But Uncle's skills didn't have any effect just now." The little girl looked very serious.
"No way, I clearly burned one of their hands, okay?" he said speechlessly. He suddenly felt that his status in the little girl's heart had dropped a lot. How could this be? He had to regain his sense of existence.
"What's the difference? It's completely useless. Look, they've come back to life." The little girl pouted and pointed ahead.
"What?" He looked in surprise in the direction the little girl was pointing. In the area untouched by the flames, several skeleton monsters trembled and stood up again.
"And their numbers have increased!" The little girl pointed at the skeleton monsters and counted them one by one: "1, 2, 3..."
Indeed, there are eight in total, two more than before.
"What's going on?" He stared dumbfounded at Guo Shiyi beside him.
"I don't know either. Aren't you the ones attacking?" Guo Shiyi also looked bewildered.
"Watch out, they're coming!" Han Kexin warned them. Just as she finished speaking, eight skeleton monsters simultaneously charged towards them with a "clucking" sound.
"&$%&$%……" Just then, the voice of the skeleton monster that Qin Xiaochuan had killed earlier rang in their ears again.
"This is..." He was slightly taken aback, and the skeleton monsters rushed in front of them in a moment.
"Since I can't kill them all, let me capture them all," Guo Shiyi said, forming several hand seals.
"Thorn Forest!" Guo Shiyi shouted, and a flood of thorns swept through the passageway in front of them. Countless vines stretched out from the thorns and wrapped around the oncoming skeleton monsters, binding all eight monsters in place in just a moment.
