Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 227 Bone Land
Gu Jinheng's voice was emotionless. "He said, isn't Luguo also a hell now?"

"He's staying here voluntarily?" Pei Nai's eyes widened. "Even if he goes out and kills a few enemies, it's better than killing each other."

Gu Jinheng's tone was cold: "So I killed him. He is not worthy of talking to you."

Pei Nai nodded, "Let's go."

After leaving this block, according to the path chosen by Gu Jinheng, they passed the ninety-ninth block safely.

The opposite exits of the ninety-ninth block were all on the cliff. They had to cross the vines hanging in the air and climb some distance to reach the area on the other side of the cliff.

Senior Qu Baiyi's arms are very strong.

He could climb the vines on the cliff by himself, and the soldiers only needed to help carry his rolling chair.

The little yellow dog Gungun was wrapped in multiple layers of cloth and carried on the back of a sturdy silver-armored guard.

Everyone successfully reached the 100th block.

The entrance to the corridor was blocked by hanging vines. Just as everyone was about to enter, Gu Jinheng stopped them.

"What's wrong?" Pei Nai asked.

Gu Jinheng slowly pulled open the vine with his slender fingers, revealing a gap. He frowned slightly and said, "There are a lot of bones inside."

Since there are dead animals, there must be danger.

But he didn't say it explicitly and was still thinking, which means there are no other living creatures in this area.

Pei Nai also leaned over and took a look through the tiny gap.

The evenly-lit water flowed through the corridors, illuminating the bones piled on the ground. The dim light made everything in front seem eerie, bringing with it an ancient chill.

"It seems like there are only bones?" Pei Nai even saw a huge fish skeleton not far away, and asked puzzledly: "Could it be that when the meteorite fell, it hit the groundwater, and the fish mutated and ran to the upper layer?"

This incident was very strange, and everyone felt a chill down their spine.

People behind came up one after another, and the cliff platform was almost full.

They had no idea whether there were any creatures secretly watching them from the abyss, so they were kept on the vines in the air, which put them in deadly danger at any time.

"Let's go first." Gu Jinheng lifted the vines that blocked the way and stepped in.

Pei Nai followed behind him.

The skeletons of animals and deformed monsters were spread out on the road, tightly packed together and everywhere.

Everyone avoided the bones and stepped on the open space between them.

"Why is an entire skeleton connected together?" Daxian said, staring at the surrounding bones.

This is indeed against common sense, and there is an unsettling atmosphere everywhere in this place.

Gu Jinheng stopped in front at the same time, and Pei Nai followed his gaze and saw an extremely distorted skeleton, with the tailbone of a fish and the hand bones of a human, but the body looked more like that of an animal.

"This skeleton comes from a variety of organisms," said Gu Jinheng.

Pei Nai shuddered, "Distortion?"

"Not like it." Gu Jinheng's alchemy energy was always spread throughout the corridors of the block, alert to changes in the periphery.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and turned to look at the huge fish skeleton not far away.

The fish bones still remained quietly in the same place, and Pei Nai and the others did not notice anything wrong.

"What's wrong?" Pei Nai asked.

Gu Jinheng said to the people behind him: "Prepare a piece of meat."

Meat is not easy to preserve, so they continued to rely mainly on dry food and only prepared some bones with meat for the little yellow dog Gungun.

The silver-armored guard took out sticks of food from the package and waited for Gu Jinheng's next order.

"Aim at the head of the fish bone and throw it over." Gu Jinheng still stared at the front.

The Silver-Armored Guard did as he was told and threw the food in his hand far away.

The new bone with flesh flew through the air and was suddenly caught by the sharp teeth.

The sharp fangs bit through fresh meat and pierced hard bones, making everyone tremble with fear.

That huge fish bone actually came to life!
"How could it be?" Pei Nai frowned and asked in shock.

Gu Jinheng already understood the reason. He looked normal, but the pressure was already gathering. "There is something inside the bone."

As the fish bones stopped hiding themselves, countless eerie white bones around them began to tremble and approach them as if being summoned by their companions. They were surrounded by countless corpses, and everything in front of them seemed strange and bizarre.

They were lying in ambush in the corridor quietly just now, in order to lure them into deeper areas before attacking them?
Everyone drew out their weapons, even Senior Qu Baiyi tightly grasped the white stick.

Pei Nai swung his spear vertically, and the wind from the spear raised dust.

The sharp energy cut through the entire fish skeleton in front, breaking it in half, and even penetrated the stone wall behind the fish skeleton.

But after the huge fish bones broke, they should have fallen to the sides. Instead, they were shattered in mid-air. Many dark brown creatures as dense as tree roots and as bizarre as tentacles stretched out and connected again, gluing the fish bones back together, restoring them to their original state.

"Parasitic in the bones?" Daxian asked in surprise.

Pei Nai understood immediately, "No wonder we saw the Stitched Bone just now."

"Naier, try again." Gu Jinheng observed the enemy's situation.

Pei Nai attacked immediately and slashed again.

The moment the fish bone cracked, the creature inside still stretched out countless tentacles.

Gu Jinheng's pressure swept over, making the air distorted and blurred, and strangled it while it was exposed.

The fish bones were completely broken into pieces, and there was no more movement.

"You can kill him." Gu Jinheng confirmed the result.

Seeing this, the soldiers raised their weapons and chopped the living bones in half before they could pounce. Gu Jinheng used the divine energy of Dandao to cooperate with the soldiers to complete the kill.

But once the situation became chaotic, broken bones hit their companions.

The creatures' parasitic bones were infiltrated and contaminated by an unknown substance, burning through their armor and corroding their skin.

The soldiers did not cry out in pain but reported their injuries.

"Don't stay, let's leave quickly." Pei Nai ordered.

Gu Jinheng asked, "There are bone blocks all around. Should we turn back and look for another way out, or continue forward?"

"Keep going." Pei Nai didn't think the other entrances on the cliff would be smooth. "This is the path you and Ju Liancheng chose. I believe in you."

Her choice is the highest command for everyone outside.

Gu Jinheng nodded, walked in front and led everyone to move to the block exit, "This way."

Qu Baiyi's rolling chair was inconvenient to move among the bones, so the Silver-Armored Guards carried him on their backs, and a Qilu soldier held the rolling chair in his hands.

Pei Nai was at the front, clearing the way with his spear.

Gu Jinheng cooperated with her and everyone else, killing the monster in the bones during the attack.

Senior Qu was in the middle of the team. With a wave of his long stick, the entire corridor on the side was cleared by the wind from the stick that turned outward.

Countless living bones hit the stone wall, creating cracks, and with the help of Gu Jinheng's spiritual energy, the problem was solved in an instant.

The pressure in the middle of the team suddenly decreased.

Gu Jinheng needs to pay attention to and cooperate with every teammate. The divine energy wraps around every skeleton, which consumes the most internal strength and spirit.

"These creatures rely on the bones to corrode others in order to absorb substances from their flesh and blood to supply themselves?" Pei Nai said casually.

Gu Jinheng was the closest to her. While he was trying to find a way out and deal with all the bone monsters, he even found time to respond to her, "Yeah."

Gu Jinheng, who was angry but couldn't bear to treat her coldly, made Pei Nai's heart soften.

Everyone slowly mastered the rhythm of cooperation.

Pei Nai sped up and led the entire team towards the exit.

After a long battle and escape, they passed through the five blocks of the Bone Land and arrived at the 106th block.

At this time, they were finally approaching the border of the bone land, and the number of living bones in front began to decrease rapidly.

Gu Jinheng found the right exit of the bone land, but he sensed something at the same time.

"There are several groups of monsters blocking the road. They are creatures that have never been seen before." Gu Jinheng said.

"How many?"

It was a fresh description, one that Pei Nai could not imagine.
