Chapter 407 Headless Beauty
Chapter 407 Headless Beauty
The skeleton swung its hand back, and the huge force knocked Chen Yile away.
Chen Yile crashed into the wall of the cave and felt as if his internal organs had shifted. The water droplets on the wall were shaken off and splashed on him, which was icy cold and felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong also joined the battle.
Lin Qingyao used her spiritual power to attack, but the spiritual power was like a stone sinking into the sea when it hit the skeleton. The moment the spiritual power touched the skeleton, it was absorbed by the strange patterns. The light of the patterns flashed slightly, and it seemed to become more evil.
Lin Feihong attacked with his free stick, but was grabbed by the skeleton. With a strong swing, Lin Feihong was also thrown out. He drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, splashing water. His body sank into a small patch of mud. There seemed to be countless small hands in the mud pulling his body.
This skeleton is not only extremely powerful, but also immune to water and fire.
Chen Yile tried to attack it with fireball, and the flames wrapped around the skeleton, but it was not affected at all. The flames burned around the skeleton but could not touch its bones. Instead, they illuminated the surrounding environment, which was even more terrifying.
The shadow of the skeleton kept twisting and deforming on the wall, like a giant demon dancing.
Chen Yile tried to trap it with the water curtain technique again, but the water curtain turned into water vapor and dissipated as soon as it touched the skeleton. The water vapor filled the air, forming a layer of hazy mist. The figure of the skeleton was looming in the mist, which added a bit of horror.
"Run!" Chen Yile shouted.
The three of them fled again, and just as they got out of the cave, they met the headless beauty again.
The headless beauty seemed to be waiting for something to happen. When she saw them appear, she immediately floated over.
The mist behind her seemed to be driven by her, forming a huge cloak. There were some vague figures struggling in the cloak, as if they were souls imprisoned by her.
The three of them had no choice but to run away again.
The comments were filled with worry:
"Brother Chen and the others are in such a plight, being chased everywhere!"
"These two monsters are too abnormal, there is no way to defeat them!"
"I hope Brother Chen can find a way to get rid of them."
They were being chased in this dark cave and were in a terrible state. Chen Yile knew that running away was not a solution and he would be caught sooner or later.
He ran while thinking about countermeasures. The skeleton was immune to water and fire, and the headless beauty could not be killed. He had to find a way to restrain them.
"Try the thunder method!" Chen Yile shouted.
He stopped, muttered something, and formed complicated seals with his hands.
The surrounding air began to gather electric charges, making a sizzling sound, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, striking the skeleton and the headless beauty.
The lightning struck the skeleton, emitting a dazzling light. The bones of the skeleton were reflected in the light, appearing pale, but the skeleton just shook and continued to rush towards them.
Lightning struck the headless beauty, and her body paused briefly. The air around her was ionized, emitting a pungent smell, but she soon resumed her movement and continued to float like a ghost.
"If thunder magic doesn't work, try the Golden Light Spell!" Chen Yile cast the spell again.
His whole body radiated golden light, as dazzling as the sun, and he chanted ancient and mysterious spells.
Golden light enveloped the three of them, dispelling the darkness around them and illuminating the terrifying outlines hidden in the darkness.
When the skeleton and the headless beauty approached the golden light, they seemed a little afraid and stopped. They lingered at the edge of the golden light, as if looking for an opportunity to break through, with unwillingness and anger flashing in their eyes.
"It works!" Lin Feihong said in surprise.
But soon, they discovered that although the golden light could temporarily block the monsters, it consumed too much spiritual power and they could not hold on for long.
Moreover, the skeleton and the headless beauty seemed to be gradually adapting to the golden light and began to try to break through.
Some black shadows began to appear at the edge of the golden light, as if darkness was eroding the light, and every spread of shadow was terrifying.
Just then, Chen Yile noticed that the surrounding environment was a little strange.
There are some raised parts on the wall here, which look like some kind of mechanism.
The protrusions have different shapes, some look like animal claws, some look like devil's horns. They appear abrupt and mysterious on the wall.
He walked closer and looked carefully, and found that there were some small holes on the protrusions. There seemed to be some liquid flowing in the holes. The liquid emitted a pungent smell, like chemicals, or some kind of evil venom.
There are some fine lines around the small hole, which seem to be guiding the flow of liquid, and also like an ancient seal.
"These mechanisms may be able to deal with them." Chen Yile said.
He carefully touched a bulge, and suddenly, a black liquid spurted out from the wall and shot towards the skeleton and the headless beauty.
The black liquid splashed onto the skeleton, making a "sizzling" sound. The bones of the skeleton began to smoke, as if they were corroded. Black smoke came out from the gaps between the bones, and there seemed to be some twisted ghost faces screaming in the smoke.
The black liquid sprayed onto the headless beauty, and her body began to tremble violently. Holes appeared on her ancient costume, and the skin exposed in the holes turned a bluish-black color, as if it was a sign of poisoning. Her movements became slow, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
"That's it!" Chen Yile shouted excitedly.
They began to look for more mechanisms and used black liquid to attack monsters.
Thanks to their efforts, the skeleton and the headless beauty were forced back a little by the black liquid.
The surrounding walls also became mottled under the spray of black liquid, and some things hidden in the walls began to appear.
There were some broken bones with strange shapes that didn't look like human bones.
There are also some props that look like some kind of mysterious rituals, which are engraved with strange symbols. Those symbols exude a weird aura that makes people shudder.
However, the monsters were not completely defeated.
Although the bones of the skeleton were somewhat corroded, they were still very strong.
Under the erosion of the black liquid, its bones instead flashed with an even more strange luster, as if they were absorbing the power of the black liquid.
The headless beauty's body gradually recovered under the attack of the black liquid, and the wounds on her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The corroded holes slowly disappeared, and she floated towards them again, the murderous intent in her eyes even stronger, and the air around her seemed to be frozen by her murderous intent.
"It seems we have to think of other ways." Chen Yile said with a frown.
He observed his surroundings, hoping to find more clues.
Suddenly, he found some strange lines on the ground, which seemed to form a huge pattern.
