Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Strange Evolution of Skeleton Pieces
"Focus on attacking one first!" Andre passed his consciousness through the power of the contract. You know, most of the time, as a bard, Andre is like the wisdom center of the pet, and he must make clear and accurate battle judgments for the pet, which is extremely critical.
Moreover, in this mysterious and dangerous breeding ground, it is not only the pets that are trained and grown, and Andre himself is constantly tempered in these fierce battles, seeking breakthroughs and transformation.
"Swoosh!"
The lightning mouse received Andre's command instantly, and without hesitation, it used the magical skill of lightning shadow afterimage. In an instant, its figure was split into two, turning into two identical lightning mice, and then like an arrow from a bow, it rushed towards the previously injured human skeleton. The momentum seemed to be full of resolute courage, vowing to compete with this terrible enemy.
Although the "Killing Intent" skill would make the Lightning Rat fall into a state of near-violent violence, it could still accurately receive the consciousness transmitted by its master Andre and strictly follow it, which was truly amazing.
The humanoid skeleton looked at the Lightning Rat that rushed towards it again, and a trace of doubt seemed to flash across its empty eye sockets, and it seemed a little dazed, as if its simple thinking really couldn't understand why this prey that had obviously been killed by it was now jumping and jumping towards it again. However, its limited thinking did not delve into the reason. When the Lightning Rat approached it, it suddenly rushed towards the direction of one of the Lightning Rat, and the action was fierce, as if it wanted to solve the "little trouble" in front of it in one fell swoop.
"Hoo!" Its dry sickle-like arms suddenly swung up, bringing with them a whistling sound, and it swung fiercely at the Lightning Rat. It looked as if it was going to split the Lightning Rat in half, which was frightening.
"Lightning Flash!"
At this critical moment, the Lightning Rat once again used the Lightning Flash skill that it rarely used on weekdays. Its body instantly turned into a flash of lightning, and it cleverly avoided the fatal blow of the human-shaped skeleton. Its reaction speed was so fast that it really made people cheer for it.
After landing, the Lightning Rat did not stop at all, and once again used the power of its legs to bounce up, leaping high into the air, and then used its powerful Lightning Break skill to slash at the human-shaped skeleton fiercely. The Lightning Sword, shining with dazzling lightning, drew a bright arc in the dim environment, and went straight to the human-shaped skeleton, with amazing momentum.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, the second humanoid skeleton rushed over from the side, and its thick arms swung up like a huge stick, hitting the body of Lei Guangshu fiercely. The force was so great that it directly hit Lei Guangshu's body heavily to the ground. The poor Lei Guangshu died on the spot, and his body collapsed on the ground, motionless. This sudden change really caught people off guard.
"Resurrection." Seeing this, Andre made a choice immediately without any hesitation. He knew that there could be no hesitation at this moment. Only by letting Lei Guangshu constantly revive and fight again, there would be a possibility of defeating these two terrible humanoid skeletons.
As Andre's order was issued, Lei Guangshu miraculously resurrected on the spot, and the life breath that had originally dimmed instantly glowed again.
However, what was unexpected was that the skill of "Killing Intent" was automatically released at this time. The resurrected Lei Guangshu was stunned for a moment, as if it had not recovered from the fear of death. Then, its first instinctive reaction was to run back in the direction of Andre. After all, in its perception, these two humanoid skeletons could easily kill it again with just a casual blow. The dangerous and terrifying atmosphere around it really scared it.
Andre saw Lei Guangshu retreating like this. Although he felt helpless, he knew that it was scared and could only release the skill of "Killing Intent" again.
But this time, Andre clearly felt a strange force being drawn out of his body. When the skill was released, he felt that his vision suddenly became blurred, and his consciousness became a little dazed. He seemed to be suddenly trapped in a fog, and his body could not stand up, and he fell forward uncontrollably. It felt terrible.
"Is releasing this skill three times my limit? Do I have to use extreme methods, such as suicide, to recover myself?" Andre's consciousness was running hard. He tried hard to see the surrounding situation clearly, but there were only a few blurry figures shaking in his sight. He could no longer tell whether it was a human skeleton or the strangely shaped trees around him. Everything seemed to be shaking and double-shadowed, making him feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
Andre gritted his teeth and, relying on the last bit of his tenacious willpower, he struggled to get up from the ground, and then dragged his heavy body that seemed to be filled with lead, staggering forward. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, that was to die. Only by resurrecting after death could he recover a little and continue to fight.
He didn't know how many steps he took and how long he walked like this, until a huge force suddenly came from his head. The severe pain instantly invaded like a surging tide, making Andre groan and almost fall to the ground again.
The next moment, Andre's consciousness returned to the dark space, and the familiar resurrection option began to jump out in front of him, as if it was a ray of light in the darkness, giving him hope to continue fighting.
Andre's consciousness, which had become exhausted due to extreme consumption, gradually recovered a little bit of agility at this moment, and he chose to resurrect on the spot without hesitation.
With a flash of light, the darkness slowly faded away, and the surrounding scene quickly emerged in front of Andre's eyes like a picture scroll. He looked up and saw that a few meters away, the two human-shaped skeletons were hunched over with huge bodies, each holding a half of the Thunder Rat's corpse in their hands, gnawing on it as if no one was around. The scene was indescribably weird and bloody, which made people feel creepy.
At their feet was the body of Skul, which had been scattered into a pile. It looked quite miserable. Seeing this, Andre couldn't help but feel distressed, and at the same time secretly vowed to make these two hateful human-shaped skeletons pay the price.
Noticing that Andre appeared out of thin air not far away, the two human-shaped skeletons were stunned for a moment, and then slowly turned around. The empty eye sockets seemed to flash with an unkind light, revealing a strong threat, which made people shudder.
"Resurrection!" "Resurrection!" Andre hurriedly and eagerly resurrected both Lei Guangshu and Skull. At this moment, he was extremely anxious and wanted to get them back into the battle as soon as possible so that he could continue to deal with the two humanoid skeletons.
At the same time as they were resurrected, Andre saw one of the humanoid skeletons rushing in front of him like a gust of wind. The three-meter-tall body looked extremely burly and terrifying. Its sickle-like dry arm swung over again at an astonishing speed. Andre had no time to make any parrying movements, and was directly torn apart by the sharp arm. The severe pain instantly spread throughout his body, but fortunately, this death was only a matter of a moment, and then Andre fell into darkness.
"Resurrection!" The moment the severe pain just hit, it disappeared without a trace. Andre chose to resurrect again without hesitation. He would not be easily defeated by these two humanoid skeletons. The unyielding spirit in his heart supported him to stand up again and again and continue to fight.
After this resurrection, Andre looked up and saw the two humanoid skeletons chasing the fleeing Lightning Rat, while Skull was chasing them vigorously from behind. However, its speed was far behind the two in front. The scene looked quite tense, and people couldn't help but sweat for them.
"Killing Intention!" Andre resisted the discomfort of his body and activated the skill instantly. He knew that only with the help of this skill could the Lightning Rat rekindle its courage and fighting spirit.
When he saw that the Lightning Rat had regained its fighting spirit, Andre immediately used the power of the contract to command it to use the Lightning Shadow Afterimage skill, allowing one of the Lightning Rat to lead away the other humanoid skeleton, while the Lightning Rat's body rushed towards the injured humanoid skeleton. Andre was already ruthless in his heart. At this moment, he made up his mind that even if the Lightning Rat risked his life, he would leave numerous scars on the humanoid skeleton. He must not let them be so arrogant.
"Fight it!" Andre shouted in his heart, and at the same time commanded the Lightning Mouse, "Use Lightning Flash!" He hoped that the Lightning Mouse could use this magical skill to avoid the attacks of the humanoid skeleton and find an opportunity to give the opponent a heavy blow.
Fortunately, the Lightning Mouse has mastered the advanced pet skill "Lightning Flash". With the help of the short teleportation skill, it can always avoid the fierce defense of the humanoid skeleton at the critical moment, and then attack the other side of its body like a ghost, and then use the Lightning Break skill to successfully cause considerable damage to the humanoid skeleton. The scars are like the dawn of victory, which makes Andre see the hope of defeating them.
Andre resurrected the dead Lei Guangshu again and again. After he used the "Killing Intent" twice, he began to command the Lei Guangshu to skillfully lead the human skeleton to his front while fighting. After the Lei Guangshu died again, Andre released the "Killing Intent" for the third time. He also mustered up his courage and rushed towards the human skeleton. His brave appearance seemed to have forgotten the fear of death. It was really admirable.
Life and death, just like this, rotated back and forth in this fierce battle. Time seemed to have lost its meaning in this tense atmosphere. No one knew how long it had passed.
Andre was pleasantly surprised to find that after he used the third killing intent, his consciousness was no longer as weak as before. Although he was still a little tired, he could at least barely see the movements around him. Moreover, his body seemed to be gradually adapting to this high-intensity battle under such repeated extreme consumption. This discovery made Andre's heart ignite more fighting spirit and hope.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by a crisp sound, one of the humanoid skeleton's arms was torn off by the Lightning Rat, and the thick dark turbid air that originally surrounded it became thinner and thinner at this moment, with only a few strands still floating around, as if they would dissipate at any time.
But the humanoid skeleton was also extremely fierce. It tore the Lightning Rat into several pieces again with its backhand, and then it consumed a strand of dark turbid air and magically restored the arm that fell to the ground. It looked as if no matter how much damage it suffered, it could recover again and again with the help of this dark turbid air, which was really a headache.
"Resurrection!" Andre was not discouraged at all, and continued to repeat this operation. He was holding back a force in his heart, vowing to defeat the two humanoid skeletons completely.
In this way, after seven or eight resurrections, the Lightning Rat finally succeeded in exhausting the dark turbidity on the humanoid skeleton. When it used the Lightning Break skill again and chopped off the head of the humanoid skeleton, the huge body of the humanoid skeleton suddenly fell apart. The bones fell to the ground with a "crash" sound, and then lay there motionless, as if it had lost all its vitality.
"Dead..." Andre saw the bones all over the ground and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, his heart was full of surprise.
Previously, the Lightning Rat had chopped off the limbs or head of the humanoid skeleton countless times, and even split its bones into several pieces several times, but the opponent could always use the mysterious dark turbidity to restore to a complete appearance, as if he had an immortal body, which was really despairing.
If Andre hadn't noticed by chance that the lightning power exerted by the Lightning Rat seemed to have a restraining effect on the humanoid skeleton, and that every time the lightning struck it, the dark turbidity on its body would be diluted, Andre would have almost given up on killing the two terrifying humanoid skeletons.
Now, after successfully killing one humanoid skeleton, Andre seemed to have seen the dawn of victory waving to him not far ahead. He did not hesitate at all and immediately controlled the Lightning Rat to attack the remaining humanoid skeleton, wanting to eliminate the last enemy in one go.
At this moment, Andre suddenly sensed a strong desire in Skull's consciousness. He was a little surprised and looked in the direction of Skull. He saw that Skull had stood beside the broken human skeleton and was bending down slightly. He looked at the bones all over the ground with curiosity and desire. He looked as if he had seen some rare treasures.
"Want to eat?" Andre clearly sensed Skull's thoughts through the power of the contract. He was stunned at the moment. He really didn't expect it to have such thoughts about these bones.
However, the next moment, Andre suddenly remembered the unique evolution method of demon pets. Most demon pets achieve evolution and advancement by preying on their own kind, and pets of the skeleton species like Skull are more obvious in this regard. They mainly complete the advancement by cannibalizing the bones of their own kind. This is an important way for them to improve their strength.
Moreover, the second is to strengthen oneself by absorbing the power of the undead. However, there is no obvious undead power around to absorb at this moment, so Skull is so interested in these skeletons, Andre thought to himself.
"Eat it." After a little thought, Andre immediately allowed Skull to do this, and he was full of expectations, hoping that it could take this opportunity to successfully advance and become stronger.
After getting Andre's permission, Skull picked and chose among the scattered skeletons. It first picked up a few ribs, held them in its hands and looked at them left and right, as if to judge whether they were suitable, then shook its head and threw them away, and then picked up a finger-shaped bone, put it in front of its eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and it looked so serious.
Suddenly, unexpectedly, Skull pulled out a rib from his body, and then carefully inserted the finger bone into the original rib position. Coincidentally, the size of this finger bone is quite similar to the size of its original rib, almost perfectly fitting.
At the moment when the finger bone was embedded in its body, a gray power surged from Skull's body. The power seemed to have magical power. The finger bone "clicked" and was completely embedded in its body. It was perfectly integrated with its body and became a part of it. It didn't seem to be at all inconsistent. This magical scene seemed to indicate that Skull was about to usher in a wonderful transformation.
