Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Chapter 390 Skeleton Army

The originally very strong aura of the Red Goblin weakened in an instant.

He no longer cared about the green goblin fighting for control of his body. At this moment, he was like a child who was about to play a prank and was suddenly discovered. He muttered in a low voice with a sense of guilt: "Why are you..."

"Why did you wake up at this time?"

Xiao laughed and said, "After all, I've been through so much, I can't be completely insignificant, right?"

"But I clearly..."

"They clearly locked me in a 'small dark room' so I couldn't feel what was happening outside?"

"A small dark room?"

It was the first time that Hong Xiao heard this word, and his intuition told him that it was probably not a good word.

Wouldn’t the other self be angry?

Then, he heard his other self say in a normal tone, "But the biggest anomaly is that I can't feel what's happening outside. I'm not a pig. I can just fall asleep and die."

"I...you...never mind. I'm meddling in your business. I'll return your body to you." Red Xiao returned control of his body as if escaping and changed the subject. "What did you mean by what you said at the beginning?"

However, Xiao did not answer him immediately.

I saw Xiao's face twitching, his face was pale, and he was biting his lips tightly.

The red goblin was silent.

Only then did he remember that he had just taken Baili Ling's thunder magic with his physical body.

Baili Ling's realm is slightly higher than his. Just because he appears to be fine doesn't mean that he is truly fine.

Or... take back control of your body?

that's the truth.

Xiao suddenly regained control of his body, and his senses naturally returned as well. At this moment, a sharp pain accompanied by numbness came from his arm, and he almost lost control of his expression.

Because he was locked in a small dark room, he didn't know what had just happened and didn't have time to ask. He just guessed the general situation from the conversation between the two Xiaos.

Seeing Hong Xiao's calm demeanor, he thought everything was normal. Furthermore, Hong Xiao suddenly gave him control of his body, leaving him completely unprepared. He didn't expect...

He still couldn't figure out how high the red goblin's pain tolerance was.

Xiao refused Red Xiao's offer to take control of his body again. He took a moment to adjust to the pain before explaining to Red Xiao what he was asking: "'A thumping sound, like a heartbeat, a skeleton puppet performs before the human, whose new bones are being added beneath the sand?' The situation mentioned in this sentence hasn't fully materialized yet. The danger is probably only lurking temporarily, not going away."

As he spoke, he looked up at everyone.

While Xiao was adjusting to the pain, the others gradually calmed down.

Baili Ling found Zhao Gaoli, who had managed to escape from his hands by pretending to be dead. Ren Liang apologized to Ding Shu. Duan Shan's face was still very pale, and she was obviously frightened by what had just happened.

Old Man Hu was shouting, "My lantern is missing. Who's on duty at this hour?"

No one from Xiao's side is on duty today, so naturally no one can answer this question.

The group of sect disciples was still a bit confused. After a while, someone in the crowd finally answered, "Brother Yang Ce and the guy surnamed Bai are not here. They should be the two on night duty."

The one with the surname Bai?

Bai Jie?

Xiao glanced at the extinguished fires outside the camp. They were all smashed to pieces, obviously attacked by the Willow-eating Earth Dragon.

Thinking of that man's character, a guess emerged in his mind.

Someone quickly spoke out what he was thinking: "That Bai guy must be trying to kill us all. After the Willow-Eating Earth Dragon destroyed all the fires, he secretly took the lanterns. Brother Yang Ce must have gone after him!"

Someone echoed, "Yes, that must be the case. If it weren't for Brother Yang Ce backing us up along the way, we wouldn't know how many times we would have been tricked by him!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and scolded Bai Jie for disappearing.

"So, can anyone of you contact those two?" Old Man Hu said, "During the Year of Silence, the mutated withered willow will become more active. If it continues to be exposed like this, more dangers will come."

The crowd suddenly quieted down, as if they were afraid that their voices would attract danger faster.

It is definitely impossible to contact Bai Jie and other disciples of the sect. Some people tried to contact Yang Ce, but failed.

Looking at these people working in vain, Old Man Hu's eyes darkened.

Being not in the camp does not necessarily mean that it has left. Another possibility is that it has been chosen as prey and hunted by the mutated withered willow.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Which pervert has been touching my feet?"

As soon as the words fell, the scene fell into dead silence.

Xiao has always been on guard against possible dangers, and the moment he heard this sentence, he jumped into the air.

He looked down and saw that where he had just stood, a dozen skeletal hands had emerged from under the sand, scratching at the air in impotent rage.

Imagining the scene of so many skeleton hands grabbing at him, Xiao suddenly got goosebumps.

He quickly shouted a warning: "Be careful, there are still enemies!"

However, he was still a step too late, and the change had already occurred.

Countless skeletal hands stretched out from the sand, grabbing the ankles nearest to them, and the crowd suddenly fell into chaos.

Some people managed to avoid the attacks from under their feet, while others were caught and smashed the skeleton's palm with one blow, then fled to a place of temporary safety.

The latter shouted excitedly: "Don't be afraid, this thing is not strong!"

Then he saw the remaining skeletons groping around, and when they didn't catch anything, they banged their hands on the ground and actually pulled out complete skeletons from the sand.

The skeletons are like a pale ocean, and each one is a reef surrounded by sea water.

The sound of bones colliding was deafening.

The tsunami is coming.

In the crowd, Old Man Hu was struggling to avoid the attacks.

He had no cultivation, and the skeleton monster that others could easily crush to death could take his life if he was not careful.

During the day, the reason why he was able to avoid the attacks of the Willow-Devouring Earth Dragon so easily was partly due to his mount and the other half due to his muscle reaction.

If he had the lantern, he could quickly find a solution, but the lantern was missing.

The last time his lantern was stolen was fifteen years ago, and that was when his nose became crooked.

After all, I am old and can't even hold a lantern. I don't know what price I will pay this time.

The only thing Old Man Hu could do now was to loudly warn, "This is a skeleton controlled by Willow Branch. Everyone, be careful of your feet and behind you. Pay special attention to any unusual sounds."

A skeleton controlled by wicker?

Is this also a vision related to the mutated dead willow?

When Xiao heard the shouting, he picked up the Hepu Kites and fired a shot in front of him.

The gun blade destroyed all obstacles in its path with ease, and in an instant, a space was cleared around him.

Skeletons are not strong, but they are numerous and elusive.

Xiao saw the predicament of Old Man Hu, and after cleaning up this group of people, he rushed to his side.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a bony claw grabbing Old Man Hu's ankle.
