Chapter 74 A Strong Skeleton

However, after Gao Huohuo finished speaking, his expression became somewhat serious.

It's just a skeleton! Looks like this trap won't be easy to pass!

Xiao Lingzi had said there was a trap, but the fog obscured the view, so I thought it was just a simple trap.

She was supposed to be used only once and then discarded, but it turned out to be a reusable skeleton.

With their current combat strength, it would be difficult for them to get through unless Ma Jian is a genuine Golden Core cultivator.

Unfortunately, he's just a mascot; his superpower is having too much money, which he can spend however he wants.

The key is that skeletons don't cost spirit stones, otherwise I might give it a try.

"Wait for me outside, I'll go in and take a look."

As soon as Gao Huohuo finished speaking, Ye Lingyu and Lou Chongxiao disagreed. Knowing that there was a trap ahead, why rush in?

Besides, hasn't Ma Jian already tested it? There's no need to go again.

"Bai Qiang, if you misheard, you misheard. I'm not blaming you. There really are skeletons inside, no spiritual power. You'd better not go in."

That skeleton is beyond your capabilities; let's think of another way to regain our spiritual power.

Moreover, he now has the Spirit Replenishing Pill, so whether he can get his spiritual power back or not is actually irrelevant; he was just momentarily blinded by the improvement in his cultivation level.

Even Li Kaide opened his mouth and babbled, signaling her not to go in.

Gao Huohuo thought to herself that she just wanted to use the invisibility talisman to go in and take a look, not to go in and die, so there was no need to make such a fuss.

Before going in, Gao Huohuo unlocked the seven-step locks on everyone and affixed invisibility talismans to their bodies just before stepping inside.

Holy crap! Was this skeleton waiting for them to come in? Why is it standing so close? And its mouth is wide open.

Luckily, she had put on an invisibility talisman before coming in, otherwise she might have fallen into someone's mouth as soon as she entered.

Gao Huohuo carefully circled around behind the skeleton and looked around; this place was quite large.

She wanted to see what else was behind her, but just as she was about to make a move, Zi Ying stopped her.

"Gao Huohuo, this trap is a combination of illusion and barrier. If you take another step, the barrier will be triggered."

"Why doesn't it trigger when I come in?"

These bastards just want to lure people in here, then lock them up like turtles in a jar, right?

"Purple Shadow, can you take down this skeleton?"

"I, a dignified...

"Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present."

Gao Huohuo interrupted Ziying's spellcasting with a single sentence, preventing her from showing off.

"We're unlikely to take it all, but we can hold it off for a while."

Then we can only take a gamble: the barrier is triggered from within, alerting the skeletons, rather than from outside, notifying the person behind the scenes.

"Xiao Lingzi creates an illusion to show the skeleton Ma Jian, who comes in from outside with a provocative look on his face."

Your expression has to be a little smug; that's how you get the skeleton's attention.

Sure enough, once the illusion was set up, it did more than just attract attention; it allowed people to directly attack the illusion.

Fortunately, it wasn't real; otherwise, given Ma Jian's strength, he probably wouldn't have lasted a single round.

However, the Ma Jian in the illusion is indomitable, getting up after being knocked down, getting up again after being knocked down again, embodying the spirit of becoming stronger with each setback.

"Master, is your barrier almost broken yet? My illusion is about to collapse."

"It'll be ready soon."

"Lord Purple Shadow, hurry up! While the illusion is still there, go up and launch a few sneak attacks, then draw the aggro to yourself."

"Let's get this straight, I can only hold you off for a while, so hurry up!"

If she weren't called Lady Purple Shadow, she wouldn't want to fight this filthy skeleton.

Although she possesses the power of lightning and is most adept at dealing with these things, they are simply a bit ugly and dirty.

While Zi Ying was still considering where to start, Gao Huohuo directly struck the skeleton with a burst of spiritual energy, then flung Zi Ying away.

"Ugh, Gao Huohuo, I'm not done with you yet! His breath was suffocating me! Why did you have to slap him in the mouth of all places?"

How dare she smother her with such a foul mouth? Zi Ying went all out, whipping her whip with tremendous force, and lightning exploded on the skeleton's body.

Lou Chongxiao and his companions, who were still outside, saw various colorful lights flashing inside and heard the whooshing sound of whips cracking.

Ye Lingyu couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't bear to see her junior sister being bullied by the skeletons inside alone, so she grabbed her sword and rushed in.

When I came in, I found my junior sister sitting alone in the back, fiddling with something.

Wasn't the skeleton supposed to be pretty powerful? How come it's being chased and beaten by Junior Sister's whip? And judging from the way Zi Ying is fighting, it doesn't seem like a simple grudge.

"Junior sister, are you okay?"

Gao Huohuo is still researching ways to break the barrier, otherwise it would be terrible if she went in and couldn't get out later.

Hearing the sound, I turned around and saw Ye Lingyu walking over with a sword.

"Third Senior Sister, what brings you in?"

"I originally wanted to come in and help you, but when I came in I found that Ziying could handle it all by herself, and it seems that she doesn't want anyone else to help her."

"Third Senior Sister, now that you're in, could you please help me figure out how to break this barrier? I'm just a little bit short."

Zi Ying was suffocated by the skeleton's fumes, that's why she was fighting so desperately. Don't worry about her, she'll come back when she's tired.

The two were focused on breaking the barrier when they heard Ma Jian's ghostly screams coming from behind them.

"Why is he only chasing me? Bai Qiang, save me!"

Gao Huohuo then noticed that the remaining three had all entered. Lou Chongxiao and Li Kaide were unharmed, but Ma Jian was being chased around by the skeletons.

The purple shadow chased after the skeleton, occasionally lashing it with its whip.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gao Huohuo threw a speed-up talisman at Ma Jian and stuck it on his body.

Ma Jian quickly increased the distance between himself and the skeleton, but he still had to keep running.

As soon as they stopped, the skeleton caught up.

"Bai Qiang, is there any other way? I'm so tired from running that I'm about to throw up."

And why is he only chasing me? I only came in once just now.

"This skeleton holds a grudge. He failed to catch you last time, and now that you've come in again, he naturally wants to catch you to prove his strength."

But Fellow Daoist Ma, I still have more faith in your abilities. It's time to prove yourself to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jian felt confident again; indeed, Bai Qiang's vision was exceptional.

Unlike his father, who always focused on his mistakes, Bai Qiang could always see his unique strengths.

With Ma Jian drawing fire in front, the skeleton completely ignored everyone else.

After all, this was the only person who had come in and provoked him time and time again, and yet he could never be killed.

Zi Ying stopped because she realized that no matter how much she hit him, the skeleton wouldn't turn around.

That's boring. She prefers something more challenging, something that can keep her on her to battle.

With Zi Ying's help, Gao Huohuo finally broke the barrier, and she took the opportunity to throw a few talismans at the skeleton.

The skeleton finally stopped and stood obediently in front of Gao Huohuo.
