1272: C1272 Under the Desert

C1272 Under the Desert

It had to be said that the skeleton's slash was indeed very fierce and stiff. With just a single slash, the vines were chopped into bits.

"This …" Jin Xuelei was completely shocked by this skeleton. He thought about it, if it was him, it wouldn't have that much power.

He even felt as if the black blade had fallen right in front of his eyes, and his heart began to beat violently.

He was desperately looking for power. If he had that power, he wouldn't be cowering in his search for Zhou Qing. More importantly, he wanted to protect the person he was trying to protect.

At least it would not be like now, where he would have to rely on Zhou Yi to deal with any danger. He also wanted to stand in front of Zhou Yi one day.

Zhou Yi saw that the skeleton had dealt with all the vines, so he waved his hand and the shadow immediately appeared in front of him.

"Go on, clean up all this stuff." Zhou Yi said lightly.

He did not need to do anything about these things. Letting Shadow take care of these things was equivalent to giving it a snack.

The shadow immediately let out a cheerful cry. Then, it turned into a black shadow and flew towards the largest skeleton.

Everywhere it passed, a black sea of flames appeared.

He did not expect that when the skeletons stuck to its Hellfire again, they would actually start burning.

At this moment, the skeleton had already gained consciousness. After being burnt by the Hellfire, it let out a scream that resembled a human's. It was shocking to hear, but Jin Xuelei's consciousness actually trembled a little.

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. All the screams around him immediately disappeared.

Jin Xuelei felt like he was in front of a pantomime. He could only see the movements of people, but not hear the sound.

The shadow passed through the skeletons, finally piercing towards the tallest one.

Golden light began to shine from the black eye sockets of the skeleton. Then, it raised the longblade in its hand and swung it toward the black shadow.

Sssii! * An ear-piercing sound rang out.

The shadow was still a palm-sized sword, but even though it was small, it did not seem to be at a disadvantage when facing the black blade.

Jin Xuelei was not close to the skeleton, so from his point of view, the Black Skull's sword stopped mid-air.

Next, the long blade slowly rose up.

Halfway through, the longblade suddenly descended, and then with a crisp crack, the black longblade actually split in two.

Just as the Black Skull was startled, the black shadow attacked again, piercing straight into the skeleton's eyes.

Jin Xuelei felt really strange. There was nothing in the skeleton's eyes, so what if it stabbed his eyes?

However, Jin Xuelei was wrong. The ultimate goal of the Umbra wasn't the skeleton's eyes, but the skeleton's head.

The reason the Black Skull had such high intelligence was because it had a condensed soul pill on its head. With this, it would be able to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and gradually cultivate to its current state.

The shadow directly smashed the soul pill into pieces and absorbed all of the energy into his body.

Without the soul pill, the black skeleton's body instantly stiffened.

Before it could react, the shadow turned into a black ray of light and started to circle around the black skeleton.

In the blink of an eye, the black skeleton turned into black fragments. Then the wind blew and the black fragments floated into the distance.

The skeletons that had been burned by the Hellfire s brought along by the shadows had already been burnt into ashes.

In less than a minute, the army of skeletons that made ordinary people tremble in fear was able to easily deal with the Umbra.1

Jin Xuelei couldn't recover from his shock for a long time.

Previously, he knew that Zhou Yi was very powerful. However, he never expected that even his own weapon possessed such shocking power.

"Now look at the highlights of the Scepter, is it stronger?" At this moment, Zhou Yi's voice sounded.

Jin Xuelei finally came back to his senses and looked at the Scepter in his hand.

But for some reason, the light on the Scepter was indeed dimmer than before.

"How could this be?" Jin Xuelei said in surprise.

Zhou Yi didn't say anything. He held out his hand to signal Jin Xuelei to pass the Scepter to him. Jin Xuelei was stunned for a moment and then handed the Scepter over.

Zhou Yi held the Scepter and then slowly closed his eyes. Through his Divine Soul Power, Zhou Yi felt everything around him.

In a certain direction, the Scepter once again lit up with a weak light.

Zhou Yi opened his eyes and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away from where he was previously.

In front of Zhou Yi was the Black Skull fragment that had been broken by the Umbra.

Zhou Yi extended his hand and brought the Scepter close to the skull pieces. Following that, the Scepter lit up and then went dark.

"Uncle Zhou, how is it? What did you discover?" At this moment, Jin Xuelei also came closer.

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of the skull, then said: "Looks like this guy had approached Zhou Qing at close range before. We were attracted by the energy emitted from this guy's body."

"Ah?" Then what should he do? We have now shattered it, then wouldn't we... "

Zhou Yi raised his head and looked at Jin Xuelei after he finished his sentence. Jin Xuelei asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong, Uncle Zhou, am I wrong?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "You're right, but this skeleton isn't the only one. Since they're coming out from below, we should go down to take a look!"

The moment he said that, Jin Xuelei felt his vision turn dark. Then, his body quickly started to fall down.

When he opened his eyes once again, he pointed to a group of people and poured themselves into the fiery magma.

Feeling the heat wave coming from his surroundings, Jin Xuelei had no choice but to channel the energy in his body and create a barrier in front of him.

"Is this the place where the Black Skull used to stay?" Jin Xuelei looked around at the fiery red lava. It was hard to imagine how a skeleton could withstand such a scorching air wave.

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's not here, there's no trace of the Black Skull at all."

"But …"

Jin Xuelei was about to speak again, but he discovered that his body suddenly fell down again, straight into the magma.

In the next second, the scene before his eyes turned into a fiery red.

The billowing heat wave had already wrapped around his body. In less than a second, the barrier around him would be thoroughly scorched by the heat wave …
