Chapter 1267 The elder with only one hair left
Quickly leaving the range of the Thousand Eyes Altar, Lin Chen followed the rebels and entered a forest of bones.
Here, there are bones everywhere, but not just human ones, there are bones from all races, and they are of different ages.
From what Lin Chen saw, many bones could be traced back to previous eras, and the fact that they are still immortal even today shows how powerful they were back then!
However, it eventually decayed, leaving only the bones.
But this also shows that this bone world has a long history.
Lin Chen first encountered the White Bone Toxin when he was in Wei Dynasty. He was helping Zhang Zhiquan remove the toxin. At that time, Lin Chen did not expect that the White Bone World was so amazing.
It's a pity that Bai Shu didn't explain the situation of the Bone Realm in detail at that time. Of course, it's possible that Bai Shu didn't understand it either.
After all, after the White Bone Rebellion in history, the ancestor of the White Bone Demon was executed, and the White Bone Demon ceased to exist. Although the White Bone Rebellion occasionally broke out, it was quickly put down.
But now it seems that people in this world still know too little about the Bone Demon, and they underestimate this race that was born from poison!
This forest of bones is very huge. Some of the bones are from ferocious beasts that Lin Chen cannot name. They are enough to hold up the heaven and earth.
Occasionally looking at the sky, the blood moon looks like a light hanging on a huge skeleton.
It's really amazing.
"This is the divine bone!" Lin Chen paused slightly. In front of him, there was a huge skeleton lying on the ground, half buried by the yellow sand. The ribs stood upright in front of him like pillars of heaven.
Although it was withered, Lin Chen could still feel the difference from the bones. After all, he was also a person who had killed gods, and he still understood the structure of gods.
These are not the bones of an earthly creature, but are of divine origin.
"Ancient God?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed with red light.
It's really amazing that the White Bone Toxin can infect even gods, but in the end, it fell here and became withered bones.
It should be that he failed to become the White Bone Demon, but just became the carrier of White Bone Toxin.
"Although this Bone Realm is cut off from the outside world and there is no brilliant world, the accumulation has not been cut off, and it has not experienced the great destruction that the world has experienced. It should not be underestimated!" Lin Chen judged in his heart.
"Sir, please follow us closely. There is a maze ahead. If you get lost in it, you may be trapped to death," said the rebel in front.
Lin Chen came back to his senses and looked at the bone forest in front of him. Indeed, behind this bone forest was a special field that could affect perception.
If you enter it, you will lose your way. It is a natural forbidden area.
Did the rebels use this as a stronghold to avoid the King of Bones' encirclement and suppression?
But how did they find a safe path?
Lin Chen didn't say anything and followed them in. His figure quickly disappeared. Here, even the traces of its existence would soon fade away, eliminating the possibility of tracking.
Of course, this is only true at lower levels. When a truly strong person arrives, it will not be of much use. At most, it will just cause a little more trouble.
It's just that the truly powerful ones probably won't come to annihilate such a small group of rebels.
In short, I followed them forward, and after about a day, I finally passed through this bone forest and came underground!
Deep in this maze, the bones have completely covered the sky. The entire "soil layer" is made up of bones. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of bones.
And probably because of the long time, the white bones have accumulated densely, and they have actually condensed together, making them very strong.
Arriving here, Lin Chen finally saw other bone demons. This was a tribe of bone demons!
"Are all your rebels here?" Lin Chen asked.
"Of course not. Also, don't call us rebels. We are rebels to resist the tyranny of the King of Bones!" the rebel said with some dissatisfaction.
Lin Chen didn't care, it was just a name, and the great reputation had nothing to do with Lin Chen.
"The rebel headquarters is not here, it is just a branch, and it was only newly established," another rebel introduced.
"The partners here are all conscious on their own, and they don't have the mark of the King of Bones on them!"
Generate consciousness autonomously, the brand of the King of Bones.
Lin Chen silently wrote it down in his heart.
"You are going to seize the so-called Bone Death Medicine just to create more companions?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yes," the rebel nodded, and then said, "Let our elders tell you the details in person!"
Each branch of the rebel army is led by an elder. How it develops and grows depends basically on the ability of the elder.
The rebel headquarters will only provide some initial resources, and then it will fend for itself.
It's quite casual.
No wonder the King of Bones doesn't pay much attention to the rebels. With this level of organization, if you want to rebel, just forget it. There is basically no chance of success.
Fortunately, Lin Chen didn't come to join the rebels. He just wanted to learn about the Bone Realm through the rebels' mouths.
Following them all the way to the core location of this branch, once here, there are some important locations, formations, etc., all laid out.
It's just that it can't be compared with the real world, it's too rough.
The practice mode of the White Bone Demon is still relatively primitive and in the barbaric stage. Their level of civilization is obviously not high.
Of course, there is no absolute correlation between civilization and force. There are many examples of barbarians defeating civilized people.
After passing through several fortifications, Lin Chen and his party came to the Elders' Palace. It was well built, a bone palace with an ancient style, but it was made of bones, which was a bit too dark. Lin Chen had a human mentality and didn't like it very much.
"Sir, go in. The elders are waiting for you inside." The rebels stopped outside the door and didn't go in, signaling Lin Chen to meet alone.
Lin Chen didn't refuse, but he was a little more timid and was ready to fight at any time.
I don't know what level this elder is, whether he is a bone general. If possible, Lin Chen doesn't want to fight.
Pushing the door open, he walked in step by step. Although the scale of this bone palace is not small, it is also simple. After entering, there is a road leading directly to the main hall. Just walk over.
From a distance, you can see a bone demon sitting on a chair in the main hall. The skeleton looks a little petite and the pelvis is large. It is obvious that she was a woman when she was alive.
Lin Chen has excellent "eyesight". Even standing at the gate, he can see all the details of the bone demon. Then, he was slightly startled.
This white-bone demon has a very unique personality. There is even a hair on her head, sticking up there?
Is this a frizzle?
But having beautiful long hair and a few frizzles is quite cute, but now she is a skeleton with a hair on her bald head, which is so funny!
Lin Chen suddenly felt that this elder might not be very reliable. Did he come to the wrong place?
But since he was here, he couldn't leave, so Lin Chen walked in with a stiff upper lip.
The elder naturally noticed Lin Chen's arrival. She was still sitting there, supporting the table with both hands, holding her chin, and looking at Lin Chen.
If she had a flesh body, this posture would probably be quite cute.
But now, a skeleton is really scary, especially the hair on the head floating around, which makes it even more regrettable.
If Lin Chen could laugh, he would probably have laughed out loud now.
"Are you the white-bone demon they said in the letter, who awakened her consciousness and defeated a white-bone general?" The elder's mental fluctuations came quickly.
Lin Chen nodded and said, "It's me."
"Very powerful, it seems that before being devoured by the bone poison, his strength was not weak, but this strength is still no match for the bone poison, in the end, he is still a weakling," said the elder.
"..."
The personality of this elder is different from what I thought.
Maybe there is a stereotype in the title of elder. The actual age of the elder in front of him is probably not very old. Of course, it refers to the age after concentrating consciousness.
"You sit down," said the elder.
Lin Chen sat down, and didn't understand why the two skeletons were imitating humans to sit down.
"I won't talk nonsense, just follow me, and fight the King of Bones together in the future!" The elder leaned back, lifted the chair legs, and spread his hands.
Lin Chen said, "I haven't figured out the situation yet, can you explain it to me?"
"Oh, you are so nagging, nagging", the elder raised his head, if his body was still there, he would probably roll his eyes.
Then, she reluctantly said: "In short, this world of bones is under the iron rule of the King of Bones. All the bone monsters here are branded by the King of Bones and enslaved by him!"
"The bone monsters with the King of Bones' brand cannot resist the King of Bones. The King of Bones has absolute control and can do whatever he wants!"
"And we are the people with lofty ideals who have gathered together to resist this kind of power. We want to overthrow the King of Bones and liberate all the bone monsters. We are born free and should not be enslaved or have our fate controlled!"
It must be said that although this world of bones is primitive and not very civilized, its concept is very advanced.
This slogan cannot be shouted in the world!
"Does the King of Bones use this bone death medicine to mass-produce bone monsters?" Lin Chen asked.
"The word mass production is well used. In fact, the King of Bones himself has the ability to give intelligence to the Bone Demon, but he usually won't do it. Only when a particularly powerful bone slave appears, the King of Bones will make an exception and personally grant intelligence and branding."
"And the Bone Death Potion has the power of the King of Bones. As long as the Bone Demon that has condensed intelligence through the Bone Death Potion is born to be enslaved by the King of Bones, it is simple, trouble-free, and efficient."
The elder said, looking at Lin Chen, "I heard from them that you have absorbed a lot of Bone Death Potion, so be careful. Although you have consciousness in advance, the Bone Death Potion can hardly leave a mark in your soul, but there are still some risks. After all, you took too much in one breath."
Lin Chen didn't rush to speak. In fact, he regained consciousness with the Bone Death Potion as an opportunity, but this should be the difference.
He didn't condense a new consciousness, but recovered.
So he didn't have the mark of the King of Bones on him.
However, Lin Chen felt that even if he was branded, he would not be controlled by the King of Bones. Even if the God and Demon Body Refining Technique could not be used temporarily, the remaining power could not be controlled by a mere brand!
"So, you have the ability to remove the hidden dangers of the Bone Death Potion?" Lin Chen said.
"Yes, the method passed down from the leader, through baptism, the Bone Death Potion will no longer have hidden dangers", the elder nodded.
"Unfortunately, the brand that has been branded cannot be removed, otherwise, we would save a lot of trouble."
"Really?" Lin Chen whispered.
He roughly understood the pattern of this Bone World.
"Can you introduce more about this world, preferably more comprehensive", Lin Chen said.
"You guy..." The elder looked at Lin Chen, blood and fire burning in his eyes, "You don't seem to have just been born spiritually. Your way of thinking is completely different from those new-born white bone monsters."
"Really?" Lin Chen didn't deny anything.
Of course he could pretend to be as if he had just gathered consciousness, but that would be a waste of time. Although he looked calm, he was very anxious inside.
He wants to leave here as soon as possible and return to the present world. There are still too many worries there!
"Yes," the elder said seriously, "I feel that your IQ is higher than mine!"
"..."
"Is it possible that you have a low IQ?"
"Nonsense, it's impossible, I'm very smart!" The elder slapped the table angrily, and the single seedling on his head trembled wildly, and then fell down.
If there were any eyeballs in Lin Chen's eyes, they would probably fall out of his eyes right now.
This is like hair, emotions are inserted by oneself!
The elder noticed this and quickly took action, hurriedly putting his hair back as if it had some special meaning.
Lin Chen felt strange. In the elder's own words, this way of thinking was not like that of the Bone Demon.
The reborn White Bone Demon has no connection with the past. How could he care about whether there is hair on his head?
This guy is really weird!
"Does this hair of yours have any special meaning?" Lin Chen asked.
"It's ugly for girls to be bald," the elder replied.
"..."
Lin Chen didn't want to speak this time, he was really speechless. What reason was this?
Is this guy really a bone demon?
At least the rebels he met just now, or the previous defenders, didn't give Lin Chen this strange feeling.
It's like it's not a bone demon!
"The Bone Demon, there are no distinctions between men and women, right?" Lin Chen hesitated and said.
"..."
It was the elder's turn to remain silent.
Immediately, she smashed the table like breaking a jar and shouted: "I know you have a higher IQ than me, tell me, who are you and what are you doing here!"
"You'd better tell me what conspiracy you have, don't let me guess, because I can't guess at all!"
Good guy, this is not a bone demon, she is just a human girl!
"Are you a human?" Lin Chen said in a deep voice. Of course, he would not be the first to reveal his specific situation. He had to find out the details of the other party first.
It seems that his IQ is not very high, just a little higher than Silly Fish. After all, he has self-knowledge, but there is a limit to what he can surpass.
With Lin Chen's insidiousness and cunning, it is not difficult to come up with words. Now, let's throw out a heavy speculation first to steal the opponent's attention and make the other party unable to calm down before talking.
"Yes, I am a human being!" The elder said directly.
"Uh..." Lin Chen had a series of questions and answers behind him. He had already simulated them all, so he just dug a hole and waited for her to jump. In the end, this was what he did?
Do you think highly of her IQ?
"Wow, I worked so hard to hide it, and now someone finally knows my secret, and I don't have to hold it in myself anymore!" The elder let out a sigh of relief, and his mood became much better.
Is this the character?
Lin Chen was speechless and extremely frightened at the same time.
How could there be humans like him here!
It was because he had practiced the God-Demon Body Refining Technique and had a natural restraint effect on the White Bone Toxin that he was able to retain his sanity and human identity after turning into the White Bone Demon.
How did the elder in front of me do it?
Even Bai Shu has never said that the White Bone Demon will have residual consciousness during his lifetime. This elder may have some special means to keep his consciousness unchanged!
But no matter what, meeting a human here is completely unexpected and surprising at the same time!
"You are also a human being, right? Please tell me you are. I am so lonely here. God sent you to accompany me, right?" The elder stared at Lin Chen, as if he had a pair of big blinking eyes.
"I...maybe indeed a little special, different from the ordinary bone demon," Lin Chen did not explain.
"But, you said you are human, then what is your name?" Lin Chen asked.
"My name is Chen Ruoruan," the elder said, then he lowered his head, looked at the hard frame, and said sadly: "Now I am Chen Ruoruan!"
Have you heard this name somewhere?
Lin Chen was shocked!
