Chapter 1137: Living Skeleton Transformation! |
Tang Li Xue switched places with her perfect copy again and returned to the cave.
There was only Little Loki, who was still with her right now.
Tang Li Xue needed Little Loki’s help, so she did not send Little Loki to fight with her perfect copy, Xi’er, and the others against the horde of living beast skeletons.
Only Little Loki could grab the shiny gemstones fast enough with its [Instant Teleportation] before those stone creatures could reassemble their bodies and get resurrected after being destroyed by them later.
Lu Xingchen noticed Tang Li Xue’s change and Yaya’s disappearance.
He was very curious about it, but he knew that it was Tang Li Xue’s secret, so Tang Li Xue would probably not explain anything to him even if he asked about it.
Lu Xingchen’s hunch was completely right.
There was no way Tang Li Xue would explain anything about her life-saving divine ability, [Twin Moon], to Lu Xingchen.
They were not allies after all.
Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen were still running side by side with the hundreds of stone creatures still chasing right behind them, but what they were thinking was completely different from each other.
Lu Xingchen was getting more and more curious about Tang Li Xue.
But Lu Xingchen did not realize that when a man became more interested in a woman, that was the beginning of the love seed’s sprouting.
Meanwhile, the oblivious Tang Li Xue was still thinking about how to trick Lu Xingchen into fighting against the army of stone creatures, while she and Little Loki would harvest the shiny gemstones from the destroyed stone creatures.
Just as Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen were busily thinking about their own matters, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and her team began their counterattack against the horde of living beast skeletons!
Since she was no longer in the cave that could collapse at any time, Yaya could finally unleash her true strength!
Yaya immediately unleashed her newly upgraded skill, [Giant Cyclone Storm], toward the horde of living beast skeletons without any hesitation!
RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! BWOOOOSH—!
[Giant Cyclone Storm] was the upgraded version of the previous [Cyclone Storm].
Not only had the size become several times bigger, but even the destructive power had increased many times!
With the added lightning element power from the [Storm Calling Pearl], the destructive power of her [Giant Cyclone Storm] improved again by several levels!
The current power of Yaya’s [Storm Calling Pearl] had also been strengthened many times after it was nurtured with the power of lightning at the fifth floor of [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], Lightning Floor.
If the previous [Cyclone Storm] was like a huge meat grinder, then the current [Giant Cyclone Storm], with the added lightning power from [Storm Calling Pearl], looked like a world-ending catastrophe!
However, it was not over yet!
The [Imperial Frost Wyrm] opened its mouth and sprayed out extremely cold dragon flames!
[Frost Dragon Breath]—!
The [Imperial Frost Wyrm]’s [Frost Dragon Breath] merged with Yaya’s [Giant Cyclone Storm], and the destructive power of [Giant Cyclone Storm] improved even further!
Even the color of the [Giant Cyclone Storm] changed to frosty silver, emitting extreme coldness!
The devastating power of wind, lightning, and Frost Dragon Flame combined into one, then swallowed the horde of the living beast skeletons!
"Holy crap—! This is too awesome!" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy exclaimed while widening her topaz blue eyes in shock.
"But what about their death energy and soul crystals? Will they still remain intact after getting hit by that terrifying tornado?" Xi’er uttered in a worried tone.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy slapped her forehead and said: "I almost forgot about that. Oh, well... It is already too late for us to regret it now. Let’s just hope the death energy and soul crystals will not also be destroyed."
After two minutes or so, Yaya decided to cancel the [Giant Cyclone Storm], and the [Giant Cyclone Storm] dispersed without the support from Yaya’s power and control.
Honestly, even though the size and destructive power of the upgraded [Giant Cyclone Storm] were much greater compared to the previous [Cyclone Storm], but the energy consumption was also many times greater.
Yaya was panting heavily in exhaustion and flew down to rest.
She landed on Lucia’s head and sat on the top of Lucia’s head to take a rest.
"Good job, Yaya~! Now you can just leave the rest to us!" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy smiled and praised Yaya while patting Yaya’s tiny head gently.
Yaya smiled and nodded happily, but her face had turned quite pale in exhaustion.
Then she quickly ordered Lucia to fly down and land, so they could check if they could still retrieve the death energy and soul crystals.
It did not take long for them to actually find the death energy and soul crystals because something strange actually happened to the death energy and soul crystals!
The death energy and soul crystals flew upward from the ground and merged into one!
"Uh, this is not looking good for us! Let’s quickly grab that biggest crystal and get out of here!" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy said while frowning deeply in worry.
"No, it is already too late for that! Be careful, everyone! Something big is coming out!" Xi’er warned everyone in a solemn tone.
BOOOOOM—!
Countless sharp bone blades suddenly emerged from the ground!
Lucia reacted the fastest by activating [Golden Vajra Shield] to block the sharp bone blades!
The combination of [Golden Vajra Shield] plus [Silver Dragon Scales] was definitely more than enough to block almost all attacks.
The sharp bone blades could not penetrate Lucia’s defense, but they pushed her upward instead, so Lucia flapped her wings and flew upward toward the sky!
Fortunately, Yaya was sitting safely on the top of Lucia’s head, so she was completely unharmed.
The [Imperial Frost Wyrm] did not even follow them to land, so the Countless sharp bone blades could not reach it.
Among them, only Xi’er and Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy were pierced by the countless sharp bone blades!
PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—!
The countless sharp bone blades were so dense, like a dense forest, and so many of them pierced through Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Xi’er’s bodies!
Then, the countless sharp bone blades were broken apart and absorbed by the giant death energy and soul crystal that was formed from hundreds of smaller death energy and soul crystals.
After the sharp bone blades that pierced through their bodies were gone, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Xi’er fell and lay on the ground.
The dense pitch-black fog-like Death Energy shrouded Xi’er’s body, and all of her injuries recovered in an instant.
The regeneration effect from [Super-Fast Regeneration] plus [Sun And Moon Aegis] also immediately worked to heal all the wounds on Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy’s body, but it took a little bit longer compared to Xi’er.
Xi’er quickly grabbed Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, who was still healing herself, and jumped onto Lucia’s back.
Their group hastily kept their distance from the giant death energy and soul crystal, which was still in the process of doing something.
After Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had completely recovered, she saw that the giant death energy and soul crystal had already been completely wrapped in the bone structure, like a huge egg.
"What the heck is that? It looks like... a cocoon?" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy muttered in a solemn tone, because she had a bad feeling about it.
CRACKLE—! CRACKLE—! CRACKLE—!
The huge white egg was cracked and slowly unfurled. The shattered eggshells had become something like butterfly wings instead!
"That is... the dragon skeleton?!" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy exclaimed in surprise.
Yes, inside the huge white egg was a Western dragon skeleton!
Its form looked a bit similar to [Imperial Frost Wyrm], but it looked more hideous and intimidating.
Inside its skeleton dragon body was shining with eerie purple light.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Xi’er sensed the tremendous power of soul and death energy inside the skeleton dragon’s body!
"ROOOOOAAAAR—!"
The skeleton dragon roared angrily at Yaya, [Imperial Frost Wyrm], Xi’er, Lucia, and Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy!
It seemed it still had the memories of fighting and being destroyed by Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy’s team before.
"Watch out—!" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy shouted to remind everyone as soon as she sensed the incoming danger with her [Extrasensory Perception]!
The skeleton dragon actually shot dozens of sharp bones toward them!
The flying speed of the sharp bones was surprisingly very fast!
Lucia flew swiftly to the right side to avoid the sharp bones, but the sharp bones suddenly turned as if they could lock the location of their targets!
Lucia hastily unleashed [Blade Feather Storm] to meet the dozens of sharp bones head-on!
Lucia shot hundreds of her feathers coated in the [Golden Light Spell] toward the dozens of sharp bones that were flying toward her!
CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—!
Surprisingly, Lucia’s [Blade Feather Storm] could only slow down the speed of the sharp bones a little bit!
But when their attention was focused on the flying sharp bones, the dragon skeleton had already been flying with breakneck speed toward them!
It was already too late for them to avoid the dragon skeleton!
Just when the dragon skeleton almost crashed heavily into Lucia...
BOOOOM—!
[Imperial Frost Wyrm] already used [Size Shifting Transformation] to enlarge its body, and then it crashed onto the dragon skeleton from its flank!
