Mortal Bones

"boom!"

Just as Xu Taiping was sitting on the ground, preparing to open the soul mark of the lotus pupil in his mind, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky above the Taoist temple.

In an instant, the Taoist temple, which was originally dim, suddenly became pitch black.

The three of them looked up at the same time.

I saw a skeleton over a hundred feet long, with wings spread out that covered the sky and the sun, slowly gliding over the Taoist temple.

Seeing this scene, Mo Qingzhu murmured in astonishment:

"Could this be the filthy bones transformed from the remains of a powerful monster?"

As to whether this filthy bone was transformed from the regret of the demon beast, neither Xu Taiping nor the Heavenly Hunter could confirm it. They could only confirm that the filthy bone on the top of the head was not weaker than the red-eyed filthy bone.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

At this moment, the huge stone pillar in the ruined Taoist temple actually made a slight trembling sound.

Soon, ancient indigo rune patterns that looked like tadpoles began to appear on the stone pillar.

In an instant.

Circles of indigo spiritual energy halos, like ripples on water, slowly spread out from the bottom of the stone pillar.

"boom!"

Just at this moment, the filthy creature with a pair of huge bone wings suddenly swooped down from the sky and grabbed the Taoist temple with its pair of claws covered with green spirit crystal spikes.

When everyone saw this, their hearts tightened.

Mo Qingzhu even stammered and said:

"It...it...it discovered us?!"

But just as he uttered this, there was a loud "bang", and the huge claws of the filthy bone were actually blown away by the indigo light emitted by the stone pillar.

Soon, the huge skeleton that looked like a spiritual bird let out a shrill cry, then suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Until then.

Only then did the people in the Taoist temple see the filthy bones clearly.

This skeleton has forelimbs that look like griffin skeletons, with three-foot-long red crystal spikes growing from its claws, and hind limbs that look like rotten humanoids.

After seeing the full appearance of the skeleton, the three of them were able to conclude that this must be a foul bone monster transformed from the griffin skeleton.

At this time, accompanied by another scream, the griffin swooped down again.

"boom!"

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the griffin bones suddenly grabbed towards the Taoist temple with its claws again.

"Bang!……"

With another loud crash, the indigo circles of light emanating from the stone pillars in the Taoist temple once again shook off the claws of the Griffin Filthy Bones.

Then, the griffin bones screamed again and soared into the sky.

"If, if this stone pillar can restrain the filthy bones, then why, why did the disciples of the Nine Tribulations Sect still die in the Taoist temple?"

Before the Heavenly Hunter Great Sage could answer, Xu Taiping, who had been staring at the stone pillar without blinking, suddenly spoke:

"Because the spiritual power in this stone pillar is limited."

As he spoke, he pointed to the circles of indigo light emanating from the stone pillars above his head, and continued:

"At the beginning of the interweaving, the indigo halo emitted by the stone pillar had obviously faded a lot."

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded and said:

"That's how it should be."

He immediately added:

"And judging from what happened just now, the Sky Escape Talisman should not be able to conceal the aura of this stone pillar, so it will be caught by the Griffin Filthy Bones."

Xu Taiping glanced at the stone pillar in front of him and said:

"It seems that the target of the Griffin Filthy Bones must have been this stone pillar from the beginning to the end, not us."

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded.

"Bang!……"

As he was speaking, the Griffin Skeleton swooped down again and was once again shaken by the indigo light emitted by the stone pillar.

The Great Sage of the Sky Hunter looked at the Griffin Skeleton rising into the sky and speculated:

"It should be because monks often rely on this stone pillar to avoid being hunted by the Griffin Filthy Bones. That's why the Griffin Filthy Bones is so skilled at using up the spiritual power of the stone pillar by constantly attacking."

Xu Taiping nodded in agreement.

At this time, the Great Sage Tianshu looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face and said:

"Taiping, my escape talisman can at least last for half an incense stick of time. You should quickly open the soul mark and see if there is any way to solve the current predicament."

"If not, I will have to find a solution."

Xu Taiping nodded immediately and said:

"good."

As he spoke, Xu Taiping, who was sitting cross-legged, immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, directly opening the soul mark in his mind.

In an instant, five completely different images appeared in his mind one after another.

In the first picture, a griffin skeleton that looked exactly like the one on Xu Taiping's head was lying in front of a ruined Taoist temple.

What surprised Xu Taiping even more was.

A figure that looked exactly like the Great Sage Tianshou walked straight to the side of the griffin's bones and plucked three green and three red feathers from each of its wings.

After seeing the Great Sage Sky Hunter pluck six feathers from the Griffin's Bones, the awakening of the first scene came to an abrupt end.

Xu Taiping couldn't help but speculate in his mind:

"Could it be that the first step of the method to break the catastrophe found by the power of great deduction is to kill the griffin and take off the six feathers from its body?"

But soon, Xu Taiping put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to look carefully at the second picture.

In this second picture, Xu Taiping clearly saw himself, the Great Sage Tianshou, and Mo Qingzhu walking side by side towards the entrance of a valley.

At first glance, the scene seems quite ordinary.

But when the three were about to reach the valley entrance, a white light suddenly lit up in the valley, illuminating the originally dark valley entrance.

And at the moment when the valley entrance was illuminated, Xu Taiping was horrified to find that around the three of them in the picture, there were dozens of extremely huge foul bone monsters, either lying, crouching or standing.

Xu Taiping's heart trembled immediately and said:

"The grade of these filthy bones is obviously not low, and they are not in a dormant state. Why did they completely ignore the three of us?"

Just as Xu Taiping was surprised, the three people in the picture had already entered the valley surrounded by filthy bones.

After entering the valley, the first thing Xu Taiping saw was a huge stone with three big characters "Yunxu Valley" engraved on it.

But immediately, Xu Taiping's attention was attracted by the strange light flickering in the valley.

As the three of them went deeper into the valley, the object that kept flickering light appeared on the screen.

In the picture, there was an object flashing and emitting dazzling light. It was actually a huge stone pillar.
