Chapter 907: Chapter 907: Undead Creatures
The King of Ten Thousand Gu activated the "Treasure Seeking" talent and sensed the presence of a treasure ahead.
Chen Nan was ecstatic, could it be that falling to the bottom of the abyss this ti could actually be a blessing in disguise?
He put away the broken sword that had been restored to one foot in length, letting the King of Ten Thousand Gu rest on his shoulder, and quickly proceeded forward.
After taking a few steps, he noticed sothing unusual.
The place he had just been was desolate, with nothing but wandering undead creatures and dry bones on the ground, and stones scattered around.
But now where he stood, there was even a faint light.
It was a plant emitting a faint glow!
Moreover, the further he went, the more such plants appeared, barely illuminating the surroundings.
Chen Nan was very curious and quickly walked to a plant, crouched down to examine it closely, but soon showed disappointnt.
Because except for emitting a faint Yin Cold Power, the glowing grass showed no trace of Spiritual Power, seemingly just ordinary weeds.
"The treasure you ntioned, couldn’t be this, right?" Chen Nan patted the King of Ten Thousand Gu, and the little snake raised its head arrogantly, dismissing the grass with disdain.
"Looks like it’s not."
Continuing forward, he could see a few wandering skeletons.
Chen Nan didn’t pay much attention, although the Ghost Fire in the eyes of these skeletons seed more intense?
Just as he was about to absorb the Ghost Fire from a few skeletons, the skeletons seed to notice Chen Nan, suddenly turning around, Ghost Fire blazing as they stared at him intently.
In the next mont, the skeletons pounced, one of which was a skeleton wolf with sharp claws that swept down fiercely, leaving three deep marks on the stone wall.
Astonishing Yin Energy imbued its claws, instantly covering the claw marks on the stone wall with a layer of ice.
Chen Nan quickly dodged, feeling astonished.
"It seems the undead creatures here are a bit smarter, could it be that the further I go, the stronger the undead creatures beco?"
Seeing the skeleton wolf pounce once more, Chen Nan drew his broken sword, which was only a third of a normal longsword’s length, but barely usable.
With a sweeping strike, he knocked the skeleton wolf to the ground, scattering many of its bones, but the scattered bones soon began to recover.
Of course, Chen Nan wouldn’t give it the chance, imdiately dashing forward to stomp on the skeleton wolf’s head, thrusting his broken sword into the skeleton wolf’s eye socket.
The Ghost Fire was rapidly absorbed, and even the King of Ten Thousand Gu jumped down to absorb the Ghost Fire from the other eye socket, consuming it within a few breaths.
Although the undead creatures here were sowhat stronger, they were still no match for Chen Nan, who quickly absorbed the Ghost Fire before continuing onward.
As Chen Nan anticipated, the further he went, the heavier the Yin Energy and the stronger the undead creatures beca.
After traveling about a dozen miles, the undead creatures not only possessed the strength equivalent to the fifth level of Foundation Establishnt but also so intelligence.
Of course, the stronger the undead creatures, the more the broken sword could recover, and the King of Ten Thousand Gu could absorb more Yin Energy.
Chen Nan could see black lines appearing on the King of Ten Thousand Gu’s body from absorbing the Yin Energy, as if they were innate markings, adding a sense of majesty to the King of Ten Thousand Gu.
They continued forward but still hadn’t reached the treasure sensed by the King of Ten Thousand Gu, instead encountering powerful enemies.
While Chen Nan was dealing with skeletons on the ground, he suddenly felt a strong gust above his head. Looking up, he saw a giant skeletal bird swooping down.
The Skull Bird was enormous, with wings spanning seven or eight zhang, a presence that must have once blotted out the sky. Now, its massive claws slashed downward with force.
Startled, Chen Nan quickly used the Small Shifting Technique to dodge, and the spot he stood erupted with a loud bang, scattering stones and leaving a large crater.
The Skull Bird missed with its strike, its huge wings flapped fiercely, sending a gust of Yin wind roaring toward Chen Nan, carrying extre coldness, freezing everything in its path.
As the Yin wind swept by, Chen Nan felt his body stiffen; even with the Heaven-Burning Fla, he couldn’t resist the pure Yin Cold Power, as if his blood had frozen.
Worse, a gigantic humanoid skeleton was charging from a distance, brandishing a bone blade, striking down at Chen Nan as it approached.
Feeling the force from the bone blade, Chen Nan was taken aback; this skeleton, over a zhang tall, felt no weaker than Xu Wencheng.
As he retreated, he ford a Sealing Technique with one hand, and the Void Breaking Sword silently flew out, precisely piercing the skeleton’s forehead.
But contrary to his usual success, the Void Breaking Sword encountered a setback this ti, not piercing through the bone but instead being directly deflected!
"So hard! Just how high was this guy’s cultivation in life?"
Only with a pre-life cultivation surpassing Golden Core, possibly even beyond Nascent Soul, could an undead creature’s bones remain so tough, even serving as weapons.
Chen Nan was shocked, repeatedly using the Small Shifting Technique to retreat dozens of zhang, then hurriedly hiding in a shadow, holding his breath and staying motionless.
The Skull Bird hovered in the sky, while the humanoid skeleton searched around, their eyes’ Ghost Fire blazing like bonfires.
This indicated that these two undead creatures were far more powerful than those mindless skeletons, possessing significant intelligence, understanding cooperation and searching for intruders.
After waiting for a long ti, the two undead creatures finally gave up on searching for Chen Nan, returning to the depths of the abyss.
In the shadows, Chen Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn’t expect there to be such powerful undead creatures here; I need to be more cautious!"
He rummaged through his storage bag, excitedly pulling out a Spirit Talisman.
"This Concealing Talisman will co in handy!"
Chen Nan’s spoils were nurous, including items not only for combat but also of special effects, such as this Eighth Grade Concealing Talisman, which could hide a cultivator’s presence and scent.
He pasted the talisman paper on himself, activating it with mana, causing his body to vanish from sight.
From another angle, one might barely see so distorted light.
"No wonder it’s an Eighth Grade Spirit Talisman; the effect is impressive!"
Chen Nan chuckled, cautiously moving forward. Indeed, this ti he didn’t disturb any undead creatures, not encountering a single one along the way.
"Sothing’s not right, where are the undead creatures here?"
Chen Nan stopped, increasingly feeling uneasy. When he looked around, his heart skipped a beat.
Because to his amazent, there were Ghost Fires visible in every direction around him.
Each Ghost Fire was the size of a millstone!
"Damn, even undead creatures use sches?!"
