Chapter Twenty-Five: Seven In and Seven Out

  In the following days, Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji nursed their wounds while discussing how to enter the final palace.

  In the end, they could only adopt Old Wang Ba's suggestion, killing all the skulls one by one before they could enter. This was also a helpless measure, grinding to death all the undead creatures bit by bit.

  During this time, under Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji's threats and inducements, Old Wang Ba finally revealed some information about these skulls.

  There are many types of undead creatures, including skeletons and zombies.

  Skeletons are the lowest undead creatures, generally without wisdom, serving as dead objects for other higher-level undead creatures. Only a few skeletons have the possibility of becoming intelligent skeletons after years of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, which is on the same level as higher-level undead creatures.

  This creature was initially very weak and slow-moving, not to mention afraid of many things, such as sunlight, dog blood, turtle urine, etc.

  It is the most fragile existence, and it will gradually become stronger after evolution.

  At the same time, Lao Wangba reminded the two that the undead king living in this mysterious desert had what kind of strength? He had no way to guess, but being able to control so many skulls showed that his strength was extremely powerful.

  However, when Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji mentioned that he should contribute some turtle urine, Lao Wangba turned his face and chased after Xing Wuji, biting him until he was covered in bruises.

  "Damn it, I'll get him sooner or later," said Xing Wuji, who had escaped back in a sorry state, to Xiao Gu.

  In the following days, Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji entered the mysterious desert every day to kill the Split Skulls and also hone themselves.

  However, on the third day, probably because they had killed too many undead skeletons, they finally encountered big trouble after provoking the wrath of the Undead King.

  Just as Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji were about to leave.

  A golden light flashed towards here like lightning, and a dozen silver shadows followed behind.

  Xiao Gu's intuition told him that something was off, this desert was really eerie, as if it was hiding a great danger.

  Golden light flashed forward quickly, this was a tall golden skull, its sturdy skeleton emitted a faint golden glow, and on top of that it had a long tail on its femur.

  Xiao Gu was shocked and wondered what kind of creature's skeleton this was. A human body with a tail, could it be the legendary devil?

  Behind the golden devil, a dozen or so white jade skulls followed, apparently with strength equivalent to those special skulls that were destroyed earlier.

  These terrifying existences, each one was extremely powerful, making Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji both feel immense pressure.

  What kind of place is this mysterious desert?

  That day, Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji returned with their bodies covered in wounds, almost crippled. Especially Xing Wuji, who had a bony hand pierced through his chest. However, the achievement was also joyful, as the two ultimately destroyed the Golden Skull.

  Thanks to the spiritual medicine, the two set off again three days later.

  This time, the two of them entered cautiously, but they didn't encounter any frightening creatures again. It has to be said that their luck wasn't bad.

  But when the two entered for the seventh time, trouble arose again, and it was a super big trouble, much more troublesome than that golden skull before.

  After going through countless hardships, the two finally arrived at the front of the grand hall. However, just as they did, the army of skulls suddenly retreated far away. The sandy ground in front of the temple shook violently, and two enormous creatures crawled out.

  Each of the massive white jade skeletons was at least thirty zhang long, and the snow-white bones emitted a faintly sacred glow.

  Dragon Bones! The skeleton of a Divine Dragon! Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji exclaimed in unison.

  This desert of death is indeed mysterious, and it's actually buried so many perished powerhouses! Even the legendary dragon exists.

  Two skeletal dragons slowly floated into the air, their white jade-like skeletons emitting a faint holy glow. The ferocious dragon heads, huge ancient wings, icy gleaming claws, and long majestic tails made the two divine dragon skeletons look incredibly terrifying.

  These two divine dragons must have been extremely powerful in their lifetime, otherwise their skeletons would not be emitting a holy glow. The eye sockets of the two skeletal dragons flickered with an eerie green light, and it was clear that they had already produced spiritual intelligence and were undead overlords.

  "Foolish humans, daring to despise Your Majesty's authority, are simply unforgivable", a Bone Dragon's consciousness echoed in Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji's minds.

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and their scalps felt numb. Where did this pervert come from? Even the skeleton of the Holy Dragon was being controlled, it was simply maddening.

  For the totem of the mortal world, Xiao Gu still has a special emotional existence. After all, from childhood to adulthood, he has been listening to the legend of the divine dragon. It's very difficult to forget it so easily.

  Unfortunately, however, the Bone Dragon did not recognize him. As he rushed forward quickly, a Bone Dragon blocked his way.

  After one move, neither of them gained an advantage, Gu Long rose into the air and Xiao Gu retreated.

  Roar! A crazy angry roar.

  The two skull dragons dived down, their massive skeletons making a creaking sound as they charged towards Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji with their teeth bared.

  The divine dragon with unknown strength before its death, this is indeed a godly skeleton that surpasses the golden devil skull. Moreover, the two-headed bone dragon is so enormous, it's an absolute top-tier existence among undead creatures, and its strength must be even greater than that of the devil skull.

  Xiao Gu felt a sense of pressure, and the battle between the two was likely to be a bloody one, even more brutal than with the Golden Devil.

  Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji quickly retreated backwards, with the two-headed Bone Dragon closely following behind them as they engaged in a fierce battle across the vast desert.

  Take a step back and they would have already entered the army of millions of white bones, but they had no choice because during this period, they discovered that the closer they got to the temple, the stronger the undead creatures became.

  This is a terrifying scene, with countless white bony armies on the ground, two skull dragons swirling and swooping in the air, constantly diving down to attack. Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji are fighting their way through the forest of bones.

  Xing Wu Jin, with stars on his head, seemed like a divine king on the move. Wherever he passed, white bones piled up like mountains, and even Bone Dragons were severely injured.

  Compared to him, Xiao Gu was even more violent. He had forgotten all about techniques and was now like a savage, grabbing the dragon's bony tail and swinging it wildly, smashing into the army of skeletons to the east and west, causing countless skulls to shatter, and the ground was littered with shattered bones everywhere.

  However, soon after, another golden skull appeared again.

  When Xiao Gu and Xing Wuji rushed out of the army of millions of white bones, they were covered in blood all over their bodies. Xiao Gu had a frightening blood hole on his left ribcage, and Xing Wuji had a golden ghost claw stuck in his right shoulder. As soon as they broke out of the desert, the two of them fell to the ground with a thud.

  Even old Wang Ba was startled.

  It's strange to say, the endless army of white bones chased to the edge of the desert and stopped advancing, as if this was a boundary between life and death, and many skulls dared not step over the thunder pool.

  In the depths of the desert, under the mournful and eerie howling of the Undead King, the army of skeletons retreated like a tide. Finally, all the skulls were buried in the yellow sand, and the terrifying desert returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened.

  The next day, the two woke up. During this time, they had been in and out seven times, and had almost swept away all the strong undead creatures. Next, it should be time to enter the temple.

  At the same time, Old Wang Ba also saw the dragon skull brought back by Xiao Gu and others.

  Although I don't want to tell you, but who made me, the soft-hearted old turtle, Old Wang Ba said: "This is a fake dragon, it's just a close relative of the dragon clan, and can be considered as a sub-dragon".

  Although disappointed, Xiao Gu suddenly felt a sense of relief. The totem of the mortal world had fallen to this point, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  Under Old Wang Ba's urging, the two set off on the fourth day and arrived smoothly in front of a huge temple.

  The ancient hall is nearly 70 meters long, about 40 meters wide and over 30 meters high. Although it's just a large hall, the momentum is quite grand. The material is the hardest granite, but on the surface, the years have already carved out the vicissitudes of life. At first glance, you can tell that it has been through countless years, and who knows when it was built here.

  A faint layer of glory enveloped the ancient temple, making it look so solemn and sacred, as if a divine spirit really lived here. However, the mournful roar of the undead king and the presence of millions of white bone troops destroyed this sense of sanctity, with strong contrast, making the ancient temple seem somewhat eerie.

  Just as Xiao Gu and others carefully entered the gate, countless patterns in the temple suddenly lit up, followed by a voice that was cold to the extreme.

  "You've finally arrived!"
