World of Immortals

Chapter 346 Fire Seed

The fog was lingering in the dark swamp, and the smell of corruption caused some beasts to retreat far away. In the black mud, besides rotten roots and leaves, there were many animal bones.

The snow-white skeletons vary in length from half a meter to seven or eight meters, and most of them are half-sinked in the mud.

Although the towering trees are not very dense, their canopy is luxuriant enough to completely cover this place, making this swamp dark and gloomy.

The swamp was unusually quiet, except for the tall old trees, there was not a single living beast, not even a bird.

As night fell, the swamp became darker. Occasionally, there would be terrifying splashes from the pond not far away, as if a giant was flipping in the water, which was particularly scary.

Terrible ponds, dead swamps... The mist is shrouded in darkness, like a dead land.

All this can be regarded as harmonious and quiet compared to the distance. In the farther area, there are bursts of low-pitched roars from time to time, which makes one's scalp tingle.

Days passed by, and the swamp seemed to remain the same forever.

In the distance, in the terrifying area that screams frequently, there are tall giant shadows flashing from time to time. Through the mist in the swamp, people feel extremely horrifying from a distance.

In the pond not far away, there would occasionally be huge disturbances, as if some creature was dragged into the unfathomable pool.

The gloomy swamp seemed to never change, except for the rotten grass and the bones buried in the mud, there was nothing else to be found.

A full ten years have passed, and there are not many bones left in the swamp. Dead silence is a theme here that seems to go on forever.

Until one day, a strange uninvited guest broke into this place, which brought a little anger, oh no, it brought some death.

A crocodile-like creature more than one meter long is snow-white, without any flesh and blood, let alone shining scales. It is just a complete skeleton, with only a little bit of faint light shining out of the skull. It looked back nervously, and then carefully observed the movement around it. It didn't crawl into the swamp until it was sure that there was no danger here after a long time.

This place has become its territory, and only a weak existence like it would choose such a dead swamp as a place to live.

The swamp has an owner, and every time midnight comes, and the screaming in the distance continues, and all creatures are attracted away, the crocodile-like skeletons hidden in the swamp will start to move.

It carefully turned over the half-submerged white bones in the swamp, as if looking for something, and occasionally turned over some bones with a little bit of light in their skulls, and it would quickly swallow and absorb them with the stronger light in its own skull.

Until one day, the crocodile bone was no longer satisfied with being confined to the swamp, and slowly crawled forward to the pond in front of it in the middle of the night, and the accident happened.

The water splashed, and the scaly claws, more than one meter long, suddenly protruded out of the water, crushing the crocodile skeleton severely, and even the faint light in the skull was torn apart.

All this was seen, or perhaps sensed, by a skull in the swamp.

This is not a complete skeleton, just a skull, mixed among a pile of animal bones, it is difficult to be noticed. It had just awakened for less than a month, and it was the crocodile skeleton that flipped it out. Fortunately, the crocodile bone ignored it at that time, otherwise the poor light in its skull would definitely be swallowed up.

This skull is white and round, not much like other bones, it is a human skull.

Although it has been awakened for a month, it has remained motionless, observing everything around it, until the crocodile bone was destroyed, and it stayed silent for another week. The extremely faint light in the skull was flickering, and it seemed that it would go out at any time.

The skull tried to roll forward, and it moved towards the skull of a reptile. It was very difficult for a skull like it to move in the swamp, and it was difficult to accomplish all this by relying on the faint light in the skull as power.

The faint light in the skull gleamed, swallowing the even weaker light in the reptilian bones. All this was learned from the previous crocodile bone. It was a very good student. Although it was still very weak, it had the potential to be better than blue.

Obviously, after it absorbed a little light from the skeleton, the glint of light flickering in its eye sockets became somewhat brighter.

This snow-white skull started its difficult path of survival and growth. Although it has only been awakened for less than a month, it seems to have an unimaginable talent. It is vigilant and cautious. It never strays far from the safe area of ​​the swamp. Sometimes it will not find any "fire" for ten days and a half months.

Fortunately, there are countless bones in the swamp. After countless years of accumulation, this place has become a death cemetery. Only a little "fire" can be found every ten or eight days, but the snow-white skull does not seem to be impatient, and there is progress with harvest.

This is a difficult and slow process of survival and growth. Three years have passed, and the skull has rolled to every corner of the swamp.

Now its fire has been much stronger, and it can fully support its smooth progress in the swamp. But that's all there is to it, because the occasional fire found here is too weak, even after three years of devouring it, there has been no qualitative change.

As the fire became stronger, the snow-white skull gradually turned its attention to the distant pond, where the crocodile bones that were scratched and broken were still there, and each piece of the shattered skull had a little bit of faint light flickering. If it absorbed these, it would undoubtedly be much stronger than what it had gained from three years of hard work.

The lessons learned from the past are vivid, it did not dare to act rashly, but chose to observe, and after a whole month, it was finally sure that it could attack.

There is a giant monster in the pond, which also absorbs fire, but it may be very powerful, and it doesn't even look at the crocodile bone that was crushed by it on the bank. Most of its body is covered with scales, but it is still very imperfect. In some places, the exposed flesh and blood are corrupt. It has to go ashore every four or five days to search for "fire" in the distance.

It's just that it is silent every time, and it crawls out from the other side of the pond, so it can't be seen in the depths of the swamp.

It was a terrifying night. Horrific screams came from afar. There seemed to be many fires flickering in the depths of the dense forest, and the dormant monster in the pond came out again.

This is a rare opportunity for the skull, which has been watching for a long time. It has confirmed that there will be no other creatures and dangers in the pond, and Gululu rolls forward.

Quickly approaching the crocodile bone, the eye sockets glowed with light, and began to absorb the shattered fire in the broken skull. This was more than the sum of the tinder he had absorbed in the past three years. It was relatively weak, and it had only absorbed one-third of it until the middle of the night.

Looking at the dense forest outside the pond, it reluctantly returned to the swamp. Sure enough, the ominous creature returned to the pond soon after, stirring up a terrifying sound of water waves, and it took a while before it returned to dead silence.

The monsters in the pond go out every four or five days, and the skulls in the mud finally got another chance.

This time, it acted quickly, grasping every minute and every second, trying its best to absorb the residual fire attached to the ancient crocodile fragments.

In the second half of the night, it finally completely absorbed it, and quickly 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 powerful power, and it 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 in the swamp it is already the lord, but outside it may still be weak.

After exploring for a long time, it rolled out of the swamp after half a month. The woodland outside the swamp was really vast, and soon it heard roars, as if there were very powerful creatures fighting.

Not daring to stray too far from the swamp, it just wanders around.

"Click, click..."

In the middle of the night, there was the sound of joints moving behind the big tree in front of him, and a snow-white jackal skeleton walked towards him with stiff steps.

The skull seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, but it didn't back down. Its fire was stronger than the opponent's, but its body was not as flexible as the opponent's.

Although the jackal walked stiffly, it jumped up at the critical moment and rushed over from the side. Holding down the skull, he quickly approached it, wanting to forcefully devour it before backing away.

However, the snow-white skull seemed to have expected all this. When the wolf's kiss came, it turned quickly, its eyes were facing the wolf's head, and it shot two beams of light, quickly devouring almost 20% of the jackal's fire.

The jackal retreated in fright, wanted to retreat but was unwilling, circled around the skull, and finally swooped down again. But this time, the skull was even more daring. Most of the fire seeds in the skull flew out to meet the head of the charging jackal, and the fire seeds were swallowed continuously.

It seems to be very talented for fighting, and its instinct is guiding how to become stronger.

The battle is over, the skull is victorious, and the fire is stronger again.

There seems to be a little luster on the snow-white skull, which is stronger than before, which is the effect of the nourishment of the fire. Moreover, the skull rolled around the jackal's skeleton several times, and then knocked off the jackal's skull, and it wanted to connect to the wolf's skeleton.

It was just a few times of hard work, but it was unsuccessful. Later, with the help of the light of the fire, it was barely connected. It wants to become stronger and have more powerful fighting power.

For nearly a month a jackal skeleton bearing a human skull has been haunting the shadowy swamp. The scope of its activities is constantly expanding. On this day, he finally saw how terrifying the powerful kind is. The powerful fire is comparable to the bright moon, and it can tear towering ancient trees and shatter huge rocks.

The area ahead is where the powerful come and go. There are too many dangers there. It dare not approach, so it can only wander far away.

It wants to get out of this dark forest one day, but it must pass through the territory of those strong people. It can only become stronger, and only when it is strong enough can it understand the outside world.

"click click"

There is danger approaching the swamp area, and the white skeletons of two cheetahs show the advantage of speed, and they are rushing towards him in the distance.

With the human skull on top of the jackal skeleton, he quickly hid behind a giant tree, resolved the terrible collision simply and clearly, and then rushed towards a leopard bone without showing any weakness.

The light of the tinder emitted from the eye sockets was obviously stronger than that of the cheetah, quickly absorbing most of the tinder of a prey. But another leopard bone also rushed forward, bumped into the jackal's body with a bang, and the jackal's body fell apart with a "crash".

But the skull is very dexterous, Gu Lulu hides aside, lures the enemy deep, then rolls up violently, devouring most of the cheetah's fire.

Both cheetahs lost their fighting power and could only let the human skull absorb their strength.

A year later, the skull had replaced its supporting skeleton with a pair of majestic tiger bones, and dared to go deeper into the secluded forest.

I don't know how vast this forest is. It is shrouded in mist all year round, and it is difficult to dissipate. There are strict domain divisions in the dense forest. The skull already knows that there seems to be a "king" in the area where it is located, and there seems to be a more powerful "king" farther away.

The skull continued to explore, he really 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 joint movement, the skull knew that a powerful creature was approaching. Over the past year, its fire has become much stronger, and it can sense some dangers in advance.

"boom"

It encountered a sneak attack, and the hind limb bone of the giant tiger skeleton was cut off. 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 chased after it with quick steps, holding a bone knife in its hand, and slashed at another tiger leg bone again.

"click"

The bone knife successfully separated the two hind leg bones of the tiger skeleton. This is obviously a powerful and intelligent skeleton, who knows how to quickly weaken the opponent.

Skull didn't panic, but instead fluctuated abnormally when it saw the human skeleton.

"chi"

The sound of piercing the sky came again, the humanoid skeleton was very strong, and the fire was also very strong, and the huge bone knife was swung with the sound of piercing the sky.

The tiger bone didn't dodge, and let the opponent slash towards its waist and abdomen, until the bone knife shattered its spine, and then the skull bounced off with the powerful impact force, and hit the skull of the human-shaped skeleton.

This is the killer move created by the skull after many battles. The human-shaped skeleton obviously didn't expect that the other party would display "Flying Head Out of the Sky", and couldn't dodge it.

The sneak attack was successful, two beams of light shot out from the eye sockets, and the bounced skull devoured nearly half of the fire in the human skeleton. Moreover, he successfully knocked off the opponent's head, and finally won the victory, completely devouring the opponent's powerful fire.

The fire is further strengthened, and the most important thing is that it has found a suitable body skeleton. When it stands up in human form, its strength has improved a lot.

It can swing its fists and feet, and it is no longer afraid of the same kind, and 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"

In front of them, two waves of terrifying spiritual fluctuations came mightily. Two humanoid creatures with huge rotting wings were both three meters high, each holding a hard and sharp long bone sword, facing each other.

A foreign "king" broke into the territory of the "king" of this area, and a battle was inevitable.

Xiao tightly shook the bone knife in his hand, hiding in the dark, watching from a distance. He wants to become stronger so that he can defeat these "kings". He wants to break out of the secluded forest and explore the unknown world.
