Chapter 176: The Black Skull

    For many people if they were suddenly thrown into the water they will be struggling with anxiety. If it was the previous Yan Mo, it would be the same, but he also lived in this different world for more than a year, big and small. He also encountered a lot of things and coupled with the deliberate training of the warriors, Yan Mo's first reaction after entering the water is to hold his breath, then call out the scalpel, then backhand stab the ribs of the humanoid object holding him.

     He used to stab Yuan Zhan with the same stroke. The Guide gave added him 20 points SCUM VALUE in the name of accidental injury. Later he used the lab to rescue the guy and was reduced by 100. Unfortunately, the two can't cancel each other, he still suffered a small punishment.

    This time, although he was consciously shooting and hurting Yuan Zhan he was counterattacking in the case of being attacked. He believed that even if they smothers each other, The Guide will not punish him.

    But as soon as the knife entered the other side of the body, he immediately felt something was wrong.

    With a large number of living or dead people who have been cut by him, he does not need to look at it, and he does not touch it. He knows that the person who drowned him is not a flesh-and-blood creature who can be taken down with a knife.

    However... the scalpel penetrated and went through, and Yan Mo's fingers touched the part he had reached. The other person seemed to be sure that he couldn't hurt himself. He didn't even avoid it, he let Yan Mo him touch it.

    This hand, this curvature, is definitely the ribs. Because of the posture, he can't count the number of ribs on the other person, but when his hand touches down, he found something was wrong. He couldn’t touch the hip.

    What is this?

     Was he was caught by a bone?

    No matter what, Yan Mo called out the scalpel again and slammed it into the spine of the other side.

    But this time, the other party seems to have discovered the danger. The hand that touched the bones on his neck turned hard, and the body also pushed backwards, which not only makes his thorns fall, but also puts him in an extremely dangerous situation.

    Yan Mo was out of breath. He is going to swim, and after rising to the 3rd Rank Blood warrior, the time he could hold his breath was longer than before, but it is very laborious to do the action in the water itself. The other side would use his waning strength to grip his neck. The other side was calm enough and strangely the bone strangling him was not struggling with death.

    While raising his hand and using a scalpel to attack the other person, but he used the other hand to grab the arm holding his neck, he shot a lot of wood thorns behind him.

    But those thorns have no threat to the bone that grabbed him. He can only waste his oxygen and energy. The other person seems to be very concerned about the scalpel in his hand. When he attacks, the other hand bone grabbed his wrist.

    Wrist pain! Yan Mo felt that his bones were crushed. In order to avoid the pain he had to put away the scalpel.

    “Hey, hey." Yan Mo couldn't help but open his mouth, spit out the exhaust, and suffocated his lungs into the lungs. He needed to breathe fresh air.

    The bones grabbing seemed to know his weaknesses, and pressed his neck to swim deeper into the water.

    “Ah." Yan Mo drank the first swig. At this time, he still has time to think that if his body does not die as he judges, then when he suffocates in the water, will he only enter a state of suspended animation? Or is he always suffering from suffocation die get resurrected by The Guide?

     He hates being buried alive and hates being drowned. Drowning is one of the most painful ways to die in the world. Next time he has a chance, he wants to ask if there is any kind of reward for The Guide that will keep him from suffocating forever.

    Yuan Zhan jumped into the water, and there was not much difference between the time and the time, but he couldn’t find Yan Mo

    Not because the other party is fast, maybe this is one of the reasons, but the main reason is that there are countless roads under the current, and it’s just like a hive.

    Yuan Zhan was mad, but the more he was eager, he couldn't just pick a way to try his luck. He wanted to find the real channel where Yan Mo was caught. He can't communicate with him, but he can feel their children, as long as the other party is willing to call him.

    Yan Mo relaxed the suppression on The Fruit of Witchcraft at the moment when he couldn't stand it.

    The Fruit of Witchcraft, which can immediately attack from his body when it encounters "good things", it has no response this time.

    Attack it! Attack it!

    Yan Mo had to order the other party.

    But The Fruit of Witchcraft was actually throwing three words at this time: "Not good..."

    If it’s not good, you will give it to me!

    “It has no ... vitality."

    You can't eat something without vitality?

    “I can eat  ... But it has no use." The Fruit of Witchcraft seems to be unwilling to do white (useless) work.

    Yan Mo was going to mad at it.

    Kill it, I will give you five prey things!

    “I want your... flesh."

    Your mother’s egg! You dared to rob the house on fire. Ooh you are too good!

    “A lot..."

    Up to two or two! If you bastardy try to bargain again, I will let myself fall into a state of suspended animation, and I will surely seal you inside me, so that you will never come out and you will never die and will never reborn!

    The Fruit of Witchcraft vines rushed out of his body, this time directly attacking from his back.

    The water flow violently fluctuated, and Yan Mo felt that the hand that was crushing his wrist was separated from the main body, and his body sank below. But the hand that grabbed his neck was still tight, until The Fruit of Witchcraft sucked it into powder.

    The Fruit of Witchcraft was not satisfied after destroying the skeleton. It shook its vines in the water and refused to go back to Yan Mo.

    Yan Mo can't tell where is at the bottom, this dark place is easy to lose the sense of direction, The Fruit of Witchcraft did not return to him, he did not urge it, he felt there is still danger which he can't see.

    Strange is this! Why has he not been comatose because of suffocation? Yan Mo relaxed his body and wanted to float up the buoyancy of the water.

    “Dad, below... bones..."

    Yan Mo thought so much, it’s all here, it’s a pity to give up, but he wants to come out and take a breather.

    “Dad, be careful!"

 A dozen black shadows quickly hit Yan Mo.

    Yan Mo can't see it, nor can he feel it through the changes in water flow.

    And The Fruit of Witchcraft felt that the shadows were inanimate objects that were useless to it, and there was no point in attacking them, then it let those shadows attack Yan Mo.

    Yan Mo got his son's reminder and had to show the scalpel, but he was surrounded by the bones, and they swarmed at him.

    The Fruit of Witchcraft, attack them!

    “Your ... flesh."

    Fuck!

    “One... two."

     How did he think that this fruit was a flickering thug? This fruit is just evil than him, and he hasn’t made a long-term achievement over it when it’s a fruit. What happens when he grows up, he still doesn’t know what to do!

    Yan Mo didn't want to blame it. He found that the bones were attacking him, but no one would pounce on him or suck him. The bones just wanted to catch him, drown him, and then take him to somebody or some places?

    Yan Mo stopped the attack and he planned to use the gold needle to put himself into a state of suspended animation. He was very anxious and he had just drank a few mouthfuls of water. Of course, he will not forget to force the violent black and greedy Fruit of Witchcraft into the body, if he "dead", he wants this guy to accompany him to be buried together!

    The Fruit of Witchcraft is a big threat. This person has suppressed it for so long, and it has been loose. It can't let this person continue to seal it.

    “...... You can breathe."

    Ah?

    “Dad, it says the trees can breathe in the water."

    Yan Mo shook his body, yes, he is now a normal human body, but he combined with the Soul Return Tree, and most plants can breathe in the water and in the soil! Some plants that live in the water or on the water, that is, the whole plant is soaked in the water.

    No wonder he hasn't died by suffocation, until now, but what can he do to get enough oxygen is it by drinking the water? Then will he rise first?   

 "What do you mean by breath in...?Son, translate it."

    “Dad, it's said just suck in and drain."

    When Yan Mo and The Fruit of Witchcraft talked, he was caught again by the bones.

    But this time he did not struggle, he relaxed, like he was in a coma, let the other side take him to the lower reaches of the water.

    On the way, he constantly experimented with how to inhale water, leave enough oxygen, and then drain the water out

     He first drank in the water. He seemed to be able to take some oxygen. He can still stay awake until now, but how can the water in his stomach be discharged?

    Yan Mo is a very experimental person he urinated directly in the water. As for whether the water in this abyss has his own urine, he chooses to ignore it.

    But this is not a good idea, because he can't urinate while drinking water. The water flows his stomach before it enters the bladder.

    “Dad, what is instinct .... It does it say?"

    Instinct? Yes, breathing in the water and in the soil should be a plant instinct. Maybe he should not think too much, but relax the body and let it happen naturally.

    But relaxing the body is not an easy task. When people are conscious, it is difficult to control their body.

    In order for that natural situation to occur, the human instinct must be pressed to the instinct of the plant.

    Yan Mo had a few manual attempts, and he stabbed several of his acupuncture points before the bones were discovered.

    This time, he really can't move. Not only he can't he move, he can't even open his mouth. It can be said that he is basically the same as the comatose patient except he has his consciousness.

    At the same time, he let himself enter the state of self-hypnosis, and constantly deepen his self-consciousness: I am a plant, a plant that can breathe in the water, I am a fusion of plants and people, I have the characteristics of both, and I am vegetative...

    Yan Mo smiled when he thought the vegetative word. Slowly, he closed his eyes and really entered the vegetative state.

    Yuan Zhan felt that he seemed to hear the call of his son at some point. He could feel that the other person seemed to be afraid.

    And this emotion he felt before, he felt the same when Yan Mo threatened to kill their children!

    This time? Is he going to kill their children? Why?

    Yuan Zhan's body sinks under the water and disappears when it touched the soil.

    He doesn't know how long he has been swimming in the water. When the effectiveness of the gold needle sealing hole was reached, when Yan Mo could naturally breathe in the water, and the bones brought him out of the water.

    Once out of the water, the body lost its buoyancy weight, and Yan Mo opened his eyes slightly. He had not yet thought about how to deal with the current situation, and he was thrown to the shore by the bones.

    “Boom!"

    Yan Mo waited on the ground for a while, he didn't feel the bones coming ashore, and there was no other movement around, he slowly propped up the upper body.

    It is as dark as in the water, there is no light source at all, he can hear the sound of the water and after patting the shore, he found there was nothing but silence.

  He sat, slowly pulled out a torch and a fire from the pocket, carefully blow the fire to the front of the torch, he was originally worried that the oxygen is thin, but after seeing the speed of the fire burning, he thought the oxygen should be enough, he has no difficulty breathing, and there is a weird smell coming from the water here.

    The torch ignited smoothly, and Yan Mo took the fire and waited for his eyes to adjust to the light from the torch, then lifted the torch to look ahead.

    A pair of black holes were staring at him!

    Heavens! Yan Mo hands shook and he almost threw the torch out.

     Of course, he is not afraid of it but this kind violent shock is that frightening that even bold people will be scared.

    Just opposite the place where he was sitting, there was something leaning against the wall.

    This is the remains of a strange creature with an upper body that resembles a human being and a lower body with only one extended vertebra.

    That may not be the spine. Yan Mo touched the bone that extends to the foot of his foot. Is this more like the tailbone of a certain dinosaur?

    Was it just this kind of thing that just grabbed him in the water?

    “This is the bone?” Yan Mo asked The Fruit of Witchcraft.

    “Inside..."

    “Still inside?" Yan Mo turned the torch and looked around.

    He was mentally prepared this time, when I saw the same three skeletons, he was only careful and not scared as he was before.

    The skeletons did not move. He also tried to wave the torches at them. After confirming that the opponent would not attack him, Yan Mo stood up. He saw a narrow road between the four bones. It was very deep, the fire does not shine in.

    The ground was very slippery, and there is a layer of moss on the surface of the rock wall but Yan Mo did not see any color. This moss seems to secrete a mucus, and Yan Mo is anxious to see the bone inside. There is no special angel where he can see t some of the moss, but it is rough to conclude that the oxygen here is likely to be related to these mosses.

    The narrow road was also covered with the moss. Yan Mo took a step and walked, and he lowered his head.

    The moss on the ground was also very thick, but the vagueness in patches can still be seen that some places the mosses were slightly thinner than others. If you connect these slightly thin places, it is like there was something that was dragged generally passed here.

    Is there any danger ahead?

    If Yuan Zhan was here it would be just fine, he can walk underground, and there are dangers that can be detected beforehand.

    The narrow road is not long. After walking about 20 meters, he came to a vast space.

    How big is this space, Yan Mo can't shine the walls with the torch, so he only subconsciously felt that this space is quite large.

    “In front..."

    Yan Mo took a careful step.

    The ground is very strong and not loose, but it’s just as slippery, and the surroundings were quiet, there is nothing to attack him.

    But darkness itself is a threat.

    Only ten steps away, Yan Mo has already sweated buckets.

    In such a quiet place, he can even hear his own heartbeat clearly.

    “Crack." Yan Mo stepped on something.

    In the empty and quiet space, this sound is very obvious. He didn’t know if it’s sweat or the water from before, rolling from Yan Mo’s forehead.

    Looking down at his foot, he saw a gray bone was trampled by him, and only one end was still intact.

    Not a human bone. This is Yan Mo's first judgment.

    This animal is huge.

    He reached out and touched it, look at the color, the time when the bones were placed here varies for at least a hundred years.

    After making these three judgments, Yan Mo kicked the cut bone and bent over to look around the ground with a torch.

    Fortunately, he had more experienced eyes, starting from this truncated bone, the ground is full of scattered bones. Some bones were already covered with moss, and some are already crispy, but they seem to be fresh.

    “Where are the bones you said?"

    “In front ..."

    Yan Mo straightened up and walked using his feet to push aside the bones. He walked nearly two hundred meters away, and his feet touched a step.

    Lifting the torch up, there are more than a dozen steps, and there seems to be a table on the top.

    If there is an attack, should it be coming right now? Or what is the meaning for this step?

    Yan Mo was sullen and did not dare to rush to the steps.

    After waiting for a while, no one attacked him. Yan Mo was a cross-hearted man, holding on to the undead spirit, and stepping on the first step.

    There is no moss on the steps, and this floor seems to be very smooth? Yan Mo wanted to take off his straw shoes and try it. Finally, he dismissed the idea.

    Layer by layer, twelve steps were walked him like one does a 10,000-meter marathon.

   He reached to the top, nothing happened.

    Yan Mo sighed softly and lifted the torch high.

     He saw a weird bone!

    Almost no doubt, at the first sight if this bone, Yan Mo knew that it was definitely the bone that The Fruit of Witchcraft spoke about.

    The bone was placed right in the center of the table.

    It is like a creature's skull, it was a bowl-shaped, almost larger than the skull of an adult man. The color is dark, and it gave off a certain kind of luster under the fire light.

    The skull had an oval groove in the center of the skull, and four transparent oval crystal stones were placed right around the skull.

    Yan Mo didn't go to get the skull directly, he was looking at the platform that had a skull on it.

    It was only when he came to the front that he found that the square table with a length of about two meters and a height of about one meter was built entirely of bones.

    The same is true for the twelve steps!

    However, these bones were still normal in color and are creamy yellow.

    Let's not say how many bones need to be used to make the table. There are four pillars around the top step, which is faintly like the ground floor with bone table stood on the pillars.

    Yan Mo couldn't help but wonder about it and he held the torch and looked over.

    On each bone column top there was an extremely large bone bird with wings.

    Yan Mo was amazed that he didn't see any threads or bundles on the four bone birds. How did these bones stick together?

    There are also these twelve steps and four bone columns, as well as the bones of the skull, which are not built with one piece or one bone, but numerous bones were intertwined to form a strange rule construction.

     Did he discover some kind of ancient civilization? Those bones were not like new things, and he can't understand their construction techniques.

    Finding an ancient civilization in ancient civilization?

    Yan Mo felt funny, or did he break into a Temple or an important place of a certain race?

    No matter which one, the race that can create this bone culture must be a nation full of wisdom and imagination.

    Yan Mo looked around and walked from the narrow exit to the step about two hundred meters. If the table is right in the middle of the space, then the space is at least 400 meters in diameter and the height is not low. He can't see the top on the top of the step.

    Is there anything else in this space?

    Is there a race that he has not seen before?

    Who built this place here? What is the purpose? What is the use of the skull?

    Why do the bones of the upper body that felt possibly like humans bring him here?

     He has come here, and he can get the skull by looking at his hand. Why hasn't there been anything to attack him yet?

    Yan Mo asked these questions to The Fruit of Witchcraft. The Fruit of Witchcraft only answered his two words: "Bone..."

    Yan Mo breathed out again and turned to look at the dark skull on the pedestal.

    The Fruit of Witchcraft was still to be raised by him. He is dead, and he can't live. The character of Soul Return Tree will entrap it, even if he dies. If his body rots or disappears, The Fruit of Witchcraft will also disappear with him

    Then it will at least not harm him?

    Yan Mo considered again and again, went to the pedestal and extended his hand to the skull.
