"Is this skeleton an immortal of war?
A weapon of mass destruction? "
Lu Li blinked. He felt Tian Lingzi was insulting his intelligence as he stared at the skeleton that was no different from a corpse.
It would be understandable if it were a corpse like the immortal's body that had powerful formations and a strong body.
But this was just a skeleton and there didn't seem to be any runes or formations on the bones. Lu Li believed that if he punched at it, the bones would fall apart.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if these bones were very hard, so what?
What could a skeleton do?
It had no formations of energy. Was it supposed to smash its enemies to death with the skull?
Lu Li glanced at the animal skin roll again and read every word in it. After reading it for three times, Lu Li still couldn't believe what he had read.
According to Tian Lingzi's records, the skeleton was strong.
But every time it was activated, it would consume a piece of Blood Crystal. Each piece of Blood Crystal could only allow the skeleton to use one move. Therefore, the skeleton should not be used unless it was absolutely necessary …
As for how strong the skeleton was?
Lu Li did not know because the scroll did not mention it.
Lu Li thought for a moment. He opened the wooden box and found six blood-red crystals. He took them out and murmured with a frown, "Are these Blood Crystals?"
"Never mind!"
Lu Li was at his wit's end. He had to make every possible effort.
He reached out a hand and held the skeleton's hand. Then, he poured divine energy into the skeleton. The scroll stated that in order to use the skeleton, one must consume it …
Lu Li poured in divine energy for a moment, but the skeleton showed no reaction. Sitting face to face with a skeleton, Lu Li felt like an idiot. Once again, he wondered if Tian Lingzi was playing a prank on him.
"What?
Something is happening! "
After pouring in divine energy for an hour, Lu Li suddenly noticed that the bones on the skeleton were glowing. It was as if a Relic weapon was beginning to show its edge.
"Go on!"
Lu Li was excited. He poured more divine energy into the skeleton.
The glow on the skeleton was getting brighter. Lu Li was getting more excited. Tian Lingzi did not lie to him.
Was the skeleton really a weapon of mass destruction?
Time passed bit by bit. Although the skeleton gradually lit up, there was still no spiritual connection.
Lu Li was not in a hurry. God of Wings needed time to take control of the Wicked Bead. Lu Li still had a chance.
One day, two days, three days!
What troubled Lu Li was that even though every bone of the skeleton was glowing and every bone seemed to have become a sharp weapon, there was no spiritual connection with him.
Since there was no spiritual connection, he couldn't control the skeleton.
It had been six days. God of Wings had been consuming the Wicked Bead for six days. Lu Li could tell that God of Wings had consumed more than half of the Wicked Bead.
The spiritual connection between him and the Wicked Bead was weakening. Maybe in a day or two, the Wicked Bead would belong to the God of Wings.
Once the Wicked Bead was in God of Wings' hands, she would have nothing to worry about. Lu Li would be in her hands.
They could do whatever they wanted to Lu Li. The Deaf Taoist and the immortal's body could not stop God of Wings.
During these six days, God of Wings didn't say anything to Lu Li. She didn't ask about the Slayer's move.
It meant that God of Wings was not in a hurry. Clearly, she wanted to get the Wicked Bead first and have Lu Li in her hands. Then, she could interrogate him slowly or search his soul directly …
There was no other way. Lu Li was climbing a cliff. Either he climbed up or he would be smashed into pieces.
He pinned all his hopes on the skeleton. If he could not take control of the skeleton, or if the skeleton was useless and he could not kill or defeat God of Wings, then he would have to suffer a terrible death.
He didn't care about anything else, not even the Wicked Bead. He focused on taking control of the skeleton. He poured divine energy into the skeleton.
Time moved on. Two days later, God of Wings put down the teacup in her hand. Her beautiful face was blushing.
She had consumed more than half of the Wicked Bead. She believed that in one more day, she would have complete control over the bead.
She had planned for such a long time and paid such a heavy price. Finally, she was about to succeed. Even she, as shrewd as she was, could not stay calm.
She thought of the treasures left behind by Tian Lingzi, the invaluable materials, and the tens of thousands of books on Inhibition Formations and forging artifacts.
The blush on God of Wings' cheeks grew deeper. She was smiling. She was like a widow who had been living in an empty house for many years, waiting for the love of her beloved man. She was trembling with excitement …
"Okay!"
Half a day later, God of Wings could feel a weak spiritual connection with the Wicked Bead. She trembled and then used psychic power to sense the situation in the Wicked Bead.
"What?"
Vaguely, God of Wings sensed that there were several halls in the Wicked Bead. She also sensed many books on Inhibition Formations and materials in several secondary halls. She also saw the immortal's body, the Deaf Taoist, and Little White.
"Where is Lu Li?"
She frowned. She didn't see Lu Li in any of the halls.
She kept on looking. Finally, she sensed the core hall and saw Lu Li sitting in front of a skeleton. Lu Li was holding the skeleton's hand. It seemed that … he was pouring divine energy into the skeleton.
"What is this skeleton?"
God of Wings was knowledgeable. She sensed something unusual about the skeleton. Every bone of the skeleton was like a Relic weapon. There seemed to be no Inhibition Formations on the skeleton, but there seemed to be some runes glistening in the bones.
The skeleton did not release any powerful aura, but every bone on the skeleton was glowing. It felt like a sharp divine weapon was slowly revealing its edge.
"Lu Li!"
God of Wings shouted at once, "Stop now or our deal will be nullified. When I am done with the Wicked Bead, I will crush you in an instant!"
Lu Li sensed God of Wings' psychic power. He knew that the Wicked Bead was about to be taken over by God of Wings. That being said, Lu Li turned a deaf ear to God of Wings' words and continued to pour divine energy into the skeleton.
Because …
At the moment, he seemed to have established a spiritual connection with the skeleton. He was about to take control of the skeleton.
"Blood Fairy, try your best to stall for time and stop God of Wings from taking control of the Wicked Bead!"
Lu Li ordered Blood Fairy. Then, he entered the transcendent state and paid no more attention to what was going on outside.
He was putting all his eggs in one basket. He pinned all his hopes on the skeleton.
"Lu Li, stop. Stop now!"
God of Wings shouted in the cabin. Outside, she sped up the process of taking control of the Wicked Bead. She poured divine energy into the skeleton.
She did not know what that skeleton could be used for. But out of instinct, she had a bad feeling that things were going out of control …
"Buzzing!"
Two hours later, the skeleton suddenly shone in a dark light. A surge of horrifying energy came out from the skeleton. Lu Li, who was sitting in front of the skeleton, almost collapsed to the ground.
Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the skeleton in front of him and sensed its energy. All of a sudden, he had a feeling — this was not a skeleton, but a Relic weapon that was extremely sharp. Before, it was just hidden in the scabbard to hide its sharpness.
