Vol 2 Chapter 72: Skeleton

Two groups of ghost fires ignited faintly. In the strange light curtain on the stone wall, Hou Sheng's changes were so clear that Chen Shi even felt as if he was standing next to him and witnessed it with his own eyes.
The Hou family and the three of Hou Yuanliang's family in front of Hou Sheng are still immersed in obvious ecstasy at this moment. Although Shen Shi does not know what they are doing, he looks at them and stares intently at the beam of light. The mysterious dome in the ups and downs can probably guess that this dome is the ultimate goal of the Hou family and the group's treasure hunt.
In the light curtain, under the brilliance, the four people on the Lonely Peak, including the one who stood at the end, looked untidy, and there were many breaks and embarrassments. If you want to come here all the way, they should not be considered. It was easy, plus a lot of people when they set off, but only four of them were left by this time. Although the others hadn't seen it, it was so fierce at this level.
In the beam of light, the opened gap was constantly twisting and slowly becoming larger. At this time, Shen Shi clearly saw a black long strip of strange crystal-like stone suspended in the void in this light. About the length of the palm of the hand, the whole body is pure black, deep and transparent, but in the surrounding bright light, bursts of strange black light are constantly exuding. It is incompatible with the light falling from the sky. It is this strange black crystal, as if It was exactly what strange power radiated that forced these rays to open the gap, gradually revealing the scarlet giant egg inside.
Seeing that the dome gradually emerged, the faces of the Hou family and Hou Yuanliang were even more ecstatic, and they walked two steps forward together without noticing the strangeness of Hou Sheng behind them.
Seeing that in a while, the dome will be revealed immediately, and the hands of the Hou Jia couple can touch the dome.
Suddenly, a deep sigh sounded in this originally dark cave. Shen Shi was taken aback. He looked back and found that the sigh came from the old man who had been silent from the beginning. He saw It seems to be getting older, the wrinkles on his face are getting deeper, and even his eyes are darker.
It’s just that Shen Shi suddenly noticed that the old man’s gaze suddenly moved away from the light curtain, and slowly sank a little. Shen Shi followed his gaze, suddenly startled, but found it in that spot. On the side of the stone wall below the light curtain, there seemed to be something white.
He couldn't help but walked a few steps forward, opened his eyes and looked at it, and then he found that it was actually a skeleton sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the rock wall, sitting silently in the dark. The cave was already dark, so early Qian Shenshi really didn't notice it.
After experiencing the endless bones in the sea of ​​bones before, and seeing a skeleton in such a small area, even in the dark, it does look a little gloomy, but Shen Shi still didn't feel any special fear. On the contrary, it was in his heart. Something unexpected, because when he walked into this huge cave, he also carefully paid attention to his surroundings. Except for the only remnant of the Yinlong dragon, there were no foreign objects, even if the bones outside the cave were endless as mountains and seas. But there is no trace in this hole.
Therefore, the skeleton of a skeleton that suddenly appeared was particularly abrupt and dazzling. Shen Shi couldn't help but take a closer look. Judging from the size of the skeleton, the skeleton clearly looked like a human race, and its size was not counted. Big, it seems to be smaller than Shen Shi's, and even makes people feel a little slender.
But after a few glances, it was still a dead thing. Although it looked a little strange in this hole, the scene on the light curtain was obviously the key now. Shen Shi quickly turned his gaze back and looked at the beam of light. The gap inside finally gradually opened to the point where a person can step in, and Hou Yongchang and Sun Qin, who stood in the front, walked forward almost at the same time.
The sigh in his ear seemed to be reverberating. Shen Shi didn’t quite understand the attitude of the old man sitting with the Yinlong back to watching this scene, because except for that sigh from beginning to end, the old man had always been Watching silently, except for occasionally looking at the silent skeleton under the light curtain.
Seeing that the figure above the lonely mountain was about to step into the beam of light, the old man's body moved suddenly, and under Shen Shi's gaze, his right hand was slowly raised again.
For some reason, Shen Shi suddenly felt a little nervous.
Above the solitary peak, suddenly the beam of light bursts into light, and the bright and gentle brilliance falls from the unknown part of the dome like a waterfall flood, and the light is shining instantly, and the black light that opens the gap is directly pressed back. half.
Hou Yongchang and Sun Qin were shocked, and they stopped quickly, and almost touched the light that was falling down, their faces were instantly horrified, but apparently the suspended black crystal was also not extraordinary, although it was instantly suppressed and constantly trembling , But soon calmed down, the black light twined around, but after a while, it abruptly withstood the pressure like thunder. In mid-air, the gaps opened by the black light and the bright brilliance scattered, just like this The stalemate was held.
Then Shen Shi suddenly discovered that the two ghost fires in his eyes suddenly went out and disappeared when he was standing in the final waiting for victory.
※※※
Under the lonely mountain, in the dark cave, the old man did not seem to have changed. He was still very old and haggard. Xiao Hei still lay motionless beside him, looking a little weird. Only Shen Shi stood alone outside Zhang Xuyuan, looking at the light curtain for a while, and then at the old man again. He seemed to understand something in his heart, but frowned, as if there was something he couldn't understand.
It was at this time, in this dark silence, that Shen Shi suddenly heard an incredible voice:
"Papa, papa..."
A crisp sound suddenly echoed in this cave, sounding like...knocking on the door.
But Shen Shi clearly remembered that he had come along this way. This dark cave was extremely wide, but where could there be any gate? But right now the strange knock on the door reverberated so clearly in the cave. Even a moment later, when the knock on the door paused, there was another gentle, sweet and gentle voice of a woman, first slightly slightly. He smiled, like a silver bell, and then from the entrance of the cave, in such deep darkness, her voice came:
"Open the door, open the door, Lao Long don't sleep, the guest is coming."
Shen Shi suddenly turned around and looked around, but saw that the entrance of the cave on the road was dark with no light, but where was there a little shadow? He turned around, and subconsciously looked at the mysterious old man again, the sudden appearance of the woman's voice and the words she said echoed in his ears.
Lao Long opens the door? Where is the door? Who is the old dragon?
It's just that the withered expression on the old man's face didn't seem to change at all, and his body didn't mean to move. Even the right hand that had just waved a moment ago dropped to the ground next to him unconsciously.
Afterwards, there seemed to be a moment of silence in the hole.
After a while, the mysterious female voice outside the cave seemed to chuckle slightly, and said, "Well, since you don't open the door, then I will go in by myself."
Shen Shi was taken aback, and quickly looked at the entrance of the cave. He just waited for a while. The darkness was still deep and silent, and there was no sign of the appearance of people. Just when he felt surprised in his heart, he suddenly heard There was a strange sound in the cave behind him.
Shen Shi's heart suddenly sank, turning around to look, and at the same time the pupils in his eyes shrank slightly. Under the light curtain of the stone wall, the only skeleton sitting quietly with his back against the stone wall suddenly began to move.
Two clusters of faintly green ghost fires lit up from its two black holes, and then, this thin skeleton slowly stood up, as if suddenly having life, even standing up straight. Later, it shook its neck, as if it had been hanging down for too long, and its neck felt a little sore.
Then, it raised its head and looked at the old man with the remnant dragon's back. Senbai's mandible stretched a bit and walked towards him.
From beginning to end, the skeleton did not look at Shen Shi.
The creaking sound slowly sounded. It was the skeleton joints of the skeleton making a weird sound. It sounded a bit creepy, but watching such a ghost gradually walked in front of him, the old man's face was not at all. After the change, the indifferent expression still remained in his eyes.
It didn't take long for the skeleton to walk up to the old man's body, standing tall and looking at him, the shadow covering the old man's head and face. After a pause, the ghost fire in the two groups of eyes flickered for a moment, and its eyes fell on Xiao Hei who was lying beside the old man.
For some reason, the little black pig who didn't seem so scared to face the countless terrifying ghosts in the Zhenlong Ancient Temple before Shen Shi, at this moment, suddenly seemed to be afraid of death, and his whole body trembled violently. He curled up desperately, as if he wanted to get into the ground completely.
Suddenly, a withered and old palm appeared from mid-air and landed on its head. After lightly touching it, Xiao Hei's body froze for a moment, as if he had received some comfort, and quickly calmed down.
Although this skeleton's figure is not big, its aura is not terrifying and ferocious. After staring at Xiao Hei for only a short time, it does not know why it can scare Xiao Hei to death, but it does not seem to care much about this Xiao Hei. On the contrary, the pig raised his head and moved his jaw slightly. The soft female voice that appeared not long ago came out of his mouth again:
"This inferior little monster beast actually has a trace of your blood in it, which is really interesting."
The voice was still gentle and pleasant, but it was spoken from the mouth of the scary bone skeleton, but it seemed extraordinarily crass.
The old man glanced at the skeleton with a dim gaze, and after a while, an equally old voice with a slightly distant sadness came from his mouth, slowly saying:
"What do you want?"
This skeleton, or the "female" skeleton, the white Sensen's bone arm waved, as if a little helpless, but also a little bit proud, "smiling" and said: "Come to play chess." Pauses After a while, it went on to say, "You have been entangled with me for a million years in a game of chess. Now when the last few moves are over, how can you not finish it?"
