Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 195 Not turning into bones

Old Hu and the others were stunned when they heard this. When they saw him say this, they immediately stared wide-eyed at the bronze coffin and were shocked.

The hazy, deathly aura did not spread; instead, it condensed and swirled around the bronze coffin.

Of course, that wasn't the main point. What truly terrified them was that the bronze coffin melted like a candle upon contact with the corpse's aura.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pool of black liquid, revealing a human skeleton shrouded in the aura of death.

Except for the skull, which is made of pure white, jade-like bone, the rest of this thing is made of some kind of dark metal.

The whole thing seemed a little strange, but there was nothing too scary about it, at least that's what Lao Hu and the others thought.

"Brother Bo, what is this thing? A skeleton is considered a tough guy? It'll probably crumble to pieces as soon as it stands up, won't it?"

"Snapped"

When Ji Haobo heard this guy's dismissive words, he slapped him on the back of the head.

"You're just spouting nonsense. Didn't you see what that bronze coffin looked like just now?"

Compared to Wang Pangzi, who was practically illiterate, Lao Hu knew a little more, and lowered his voice with a pale face.

"Brother Bo, is this the thing mentioned in 'What the Master Does Not Say'?"

Fatty Wang scratched the back of his head, rolled his eyes, and quickly complained:

"Damn it, Lao Hu, stop playing riddles! Which one is it?"

Old Hu ignored him, while Ji Haobo nodded and said solemnly:

“I think it’s what you said. There’s only a skeleton in this coffin. It seems that Ji Chang really ate Bo Yikao’s flesh.”

Even Ji Dan had eaten it; otherwise, what was the story behind the Duke of Zhou spitting out dried meat?

If someone comes in while you're eating and you vomit your food, and he immediately rushes to greet them, does that make him seem enthusiastic and attentive? That's utterly ridiculous.

Just as they were talking, the skeleton suddenly sat up, and a series of rapid "clicking" sounds rang out.

The four of them quickly looked over and saw that the thing had also turned its skull around, with a scarlet light flashing in its two eye sockets.

"Ji Chang... Ji Fa... Ji Dan... you are all so cruel! You all deserve to die... you deserve to die!"

A wave of mental energy spread out, filled with boundless hatred and resentment.

Old Hu and his men instantly felt their vision go black, their minds throbbed with pain as if pricked by needles, and their faces contorted with agony.

However, the blessing from the Heavenly Coffin immediately took effect, a warm current flowing through the body, dispelling the heart-palpitating pain and negative emotions.

The three who had recovered were pale-faced, covered in sweat, and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Phew... Damn it! This bastard's insults have really put us in this mess, we're so unlucky!"

"That's right, Old Ji, you have to avenge me! That punk is from your family too, Old Ji, teach him a lesson!"

"No way! I don't recognize this! My Ji family doesn't have anything like this."

Ji Haobo quickly waved his hand and said:

"Think about it, Ji Chang, Ji Fa, Ji Dan, and even Ji Man who turned into a blood corpse—they all had the surname Ji, but he's called Boyi Kao. I don't believe there's nothing fishy going on here."

"Uh...uh..."

The group was speechless for a moment, finding it quite reasonable, and even the skeleton seemed stunned.

"He can't possibly be from Old Wang's family next door, can he?"

Fatty Wang muttered something with a strange expression, and the skeletal figure immediately flew into a rage.

"You audacious thief, how dare you slander Boyi Kao! You shall die..."

With intense mental fluctuations, the skeletal frame exploded, unleashing jet-black claws imbued with a dense aura of death.

"Hmph! You're short-tempered, easily angered, stubborn, and headstrong. No wonder Ji Chang looks down on you, given your shallow character."

Ji Haobo also emitted a mental fluctuation and snorted coldly. Suddenly, golden light flashed on his body, and he slashed out with his long sword.

"Zheng..."

Amidst sparks and the clanging of metal, the skeleton was sent flying backward.

Ji Haobo was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the black metal frame could actually block the long sword made of Adamantium alloy.

"Roar…"

"Damn it... You have the aura of the Ji family, you deserve to die too..."

After exchanging a single blow, the skeleton sensed Ji Haobo's aura and instantly flew into a rage.

"Hmph! I am a direct descendant of the Ji family, how could a mere illegitimate son like Ji Chang compare to me?"

Ji Haobo's words made sense. In terms of bloodline, he was descended from the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan, while Ji Chang was merely a descendant of a concubine, so they were not comparable at all.

This was also the reason why King Mu of Zhou, Ji Man, turned into a blood corpse and was afraid.

"How dare you speak such arrogant words! You deserve to die!"

The skeleton didn't believe it at all. Although he hated Ji Chang and the others, the Ji bloodline was still his pride.

"Roar…"

Immediately, the dense aura of death around it transformed into a gray dragon, emitting a sinister roar.

"Hmph! Such trivial skills, yet you dare to show off your limited abilities before an expert? You're utterly laughable."

Ji Haobo sneered as he watched the approaching corpse-qi dragon. This time, instead of releasing Yinglong, he released the Qi-blood Dragon King from the dragon's nest.

"Roar…"

The intense, masculine energy spread as if it were a tangible force, giving one the feeling of being scorched by the blazing sun.

"Boom..."

"Hiss..."

The Corpse Qi Flood Dragon showed signs of being melted when facing the Blood Qi Dragon King. After the two collided and came into contact, a large amount of corpse qi evaporated instantly.

The Corpse Qi Dragon visibly shrank, its skeletal structure was immediately affected by the backlash, its mental fluctuations became weak and listless, and the scarlet light in its eye sockets dimmed considerably.

"Hmm..."

The skeleton grunted and immediately summoned back the Corpse Qi Dragon, switching to close combat.

Ji Haobo, however, curled up a disdainful smile, and with the return of the Blood Dragon King, he swung his sword to meet the attack.

"Clang clang clang..."

The sounds of metal clashing were incessant, and sparks flew in dazzling display.

"Old Hu, what the hell is that thing? Even though it was being suppressed by Bo Ye, it might actually have some skill to withstand so many moves!"

Fatty Wang scratched his head in curiosity. He had never read those strange and unusual books and couldn't guess what they were.

At this moment, Big Gold Tooth belatedly realized something and said with surprise and uncertainty:

"Old Hu, is that thing the kind of zombie that doesn't dissolve bones, the kind described in the Zi Bu Yu?"

"That's right, that book records that the incorruptible bone is a piece of bone left behind by a corpse;

It is incorruptible and immortal, having survived for thousands of years. It can cause trouble by absorbing resentment and evil energy or by obtaining the essence of the sun and moon. This thing is even more powerful than the drought demon.

Look at that skeleton again. Apart from the skull, the rest of it is made of an unknown metal.

Based on what Bo Ye said, it's certain that Boyi Kao was... well, you know, only his head was left.

Then Ji Chang felt guilty or something, so he got him a fake body to replace him.

But after thousands of years, the skull, with only the head remaining, became incorruptible bone.

"hiss…"

After hearing this, Fatty Wang gasped in shock, then, true to his nature, uttered something that left everyone speechless.

"Holy crap, isn't this a male version of the White Bone Demon? I just wonder if he'll have to die three times?"
