379: Chapter 180: Taboo Items, Nether River Horn_2 379: Chapter 180: Taboo Items, Nether River Horn_2 Sensing danger, the monster abruptly lifted the Supre Hand Bone, and dark, eerie flas transford into a barrier, instantly igniting the thunder that struck down.
However, Heavenly Thunder is never-ending; the Thunder Cloud would not vanish until it hit its target!
Gulan Sanks was an Ancient Thunder Dragon among Ancient Dragons, possessing the power to control thunder.
Now, in an environnt filled with lightning, Li Yelai’s ammunition was limitless!
He turned Heavenly Thunder to his own use!
If it’s a battle of attrition, then bring it on!
At that mont, the raging thunder, like a giant dragon, rampaged between heaven and earth, its awe-inspiring force shaking human hearts.
The thunderous roar declared the power and pressure of the catastrophe, echoing over the ruins, making every inch of land seem to tremble.
Each strike of the Thunder Spear shook the ground, scattering debris.
The monster was completely engulfed by the thunder, the black flas burning wildly, still unable to withstand the rampaging thunder!
But the monster’s cobbled-together flesh was now drained of life.
Its Spiritual Energy could no longer activate the Supre Hand Bone.
The eleventh Thunder Spear fell; no black fla appeared, and the spear hit the monster’s body directly.
The over six-ter-long massive Dragon Thunder Spear pierced right through the monster’s body, with unstoppable force, stabbing into the ground!
“Boom!”
After a trendous peal of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.
Li Yelai, suspended mid-air, also landed on the ground.
Although he had the Red Thunder Dragon Claw to absorb and utilize the thunder, Li Yelai himself was also struck by the thunder.
Although its power was greatly reduced, it also caused so damage to his Abyss Dragon Scale armor.
Li Yelai looked towards where he had attacked, a huge Dragon Thunder had created a crater over ten ters wide in the ground.
And as the smoke and dust dispersed with the wind, Li Yelai also saw the monster’s end.
Its body was utterly shattered, the assembled parts all scattered.
Now, it lay in pieces at the charred, even liquefied bottom of the crater.
But the Supre Hand Bone was still intact.
After all, it was the remains of a Supre being, not so easily destroyed.
Li Yelai jumped down into the crater and picked up the Supre Hand Bone.
The hand bone was pure white, and felt cold to the touch, seeming unaffected by the previous thunder.
“Should we erect a monunt here?” Li Yelai asked, “After all, he died for this city.”
Li Yelai wanted to lay the remains of the Supre Vast being to rest, and this city, where he had fought, might be the best place.
“No, it’s not safe in the wilderness.
No one can guarantee that it won’t be discovered and taken away by others.
After all, the remains of a Supre being are extrely valuable,” the voice of the Little Mad King ca from the side, her presence as sudden and secretive as ever, it was unclear when she had appeared nearby.
She glanced at the Supre Hand Bone, sighed softly, seemingly mourning the sacrifice of the Supre Vast being.
“You take it for now; after the mission is over, you can personally deliver the Supre Vast being’s bones to Lava Mine City; his descendants are there.
That would be the best and safest place for him,” the Little Mad King said, “You freed him, preventing his remains from being used in a vile manner, you deserve this honor.”
Lava Mine City?
After contemplating, Li Yelai nodded slightly, “Okay, after the mission is over, we’ll make a detour to Lava Mine City.”
Then, Li Yelai and the Little Mad King started to examine the remnants of the creature in the deep crater.
Up to now, they were still unsure who the enemy was.
What kind of existence was capable of assembling corpses to fight?
Soon, the two stumbled upon an Ink Jade Horn at the bottom of the pit.
The horn was only the size of a palm, made of material like ink jade, yet it was undamaged by Li Yelai’s massive Thunder Spear.
At the mont, it was clutched atop a broken vertebra.
The two exchanged looks, knowing in their hearts that this item was surely one of the Taboo Items!
“Is this the pri culprit behind this incident?
Is the assembled corpse creature a consequence of its loss of control?” Li Yelai asked.
“Very likely,” Little Mad King picked up the Ink Jade Horn and began to examine it.
Inside the Ink Jade Horn, he found a string of mysterious characters.
After scrutinizing it carefully, Little Mad King said solemnly, “The Nether River Horn that awakens the dead…”
“Awakens the dead?” Li Yelai was astonished, never having imagined that this Taboo Item could actually break the cycle of life and death.
Li Yelai thought of his deceased mother and fallen comrades.
If he used this horn, could he see them again?
Li Yelai was sowhat tempted.
But Little Mad King shook his head and said, “It’s impossible to defy life and death.
Such Taboo Items might rely have the effect of controlling corpses.”
“I see…” Li Yelai sighed internally; controlling corpses was not considered a rare feat among Spiritual Ability Users.
The abilities of Corpse Control from the Divine Protection Path and Corpse Language from the Path of Babbling both allowed for the manipulation of corpses, which inherently lacked self-awareness.
“Who knows what the price is,” Li Yelai pondered.
“Let’s take it with us for now and bring it back to Giant City for further inspection,” Little Mad King suggested.
Li Yelai nodded.
Afterward, the two returned to the surface and t up with the Red Dart Comrce.
Together, they began clearing the battlefield, where the human corpses were collectively buried.
The bodies of wild beasts were cremated, while the remains of Extraordinary Creatures were left to the Red Dart Comrce to handle.
After all, certain bones of Extraordinary Creatures could fetch a decent price.
However, during the cleanup, mbers of the Red Dart Comrce found the insignia of another rchant caravan among the dismbered human corpses.
They even spotted the campsite and wagons of that caravan on the opposite bank of the river.
The traces in the campsite indicated that the caravan had been resting when they suddenly encountered so sort of fierce fight.
What was more, people from the Red Dart Comrce found the bill of lading and diary of that caravan in the camp.
Respectable people don’t keep diaries.
But for a large caravan, a diary is indispensable.
It records the trade routes they opened and the incidents they encountered along the way, for future reference.
Thus, Little Mad King started to check the diary of the caravan.
And he learned that the caravan ca from the High Mountain Comrce of Kunlun Giant City.
They had set off from Kunlun Giant City and passed through several Giant Cities, their profits brimming.
Having great ambitions, they decided to forge a new trade route, dispatched a team, and headed towards Lava Mine City.
As a result, they encountered Calamity here.
It truly caused deep regret.
They were only a day’s journey from safety…
The diary also recorded the bizarre incidents they encountered.
‘On February 19th, soone woke up again.
Even though we all saw him breathe his last, he suddenly woke up and resud eating and chatting like nothing happened.
Then, he turned to ash.’
‘On February 23rd, there’s indeed sothing wrong with this area.
The tiger we hunted, despite its heart being shattered, suddenly bit off the cook’s arm.
Then, it too turned to ash.’
‘On March 1st, we might have grasped life and death…
We’ve found the cause of these weird phenona.
That horn!
Whenever the horn is blown, nearby corpses co ‘alive.’ As long as the corpses are well-preserved, ‘they’ can move normally for a while, but then they disintegrate into ash.
This horn cos from a Tomb Robber.
There might be more valuable items in the tomb at the bottom of that lake; after returning, we must arrange for people to excavate the ancient tomb.’
‘On March 4th, the Spiritual Ability User managing and using the horn went mad.
He cut off another companion’s arm and attached it to his own body.
We killed him, suffering a heavy loss.’
‘On March 6th, the new manager went mad too.
He killed several companions in the night and dismbered their corpses; he even cut off parts of his own body to attach to himself.
We killed him and locked the horn in a box.’
‘On March 10th, the box was smashed.
My brother went insane, broke the box, and used the horn again.
This ti, he ordered the corpses to attack us, madly desiring our limbs.
He was insane!
I killed him with my own hands!’
‘On March 11th, the horn seems to have a power that draws people to blow it; it lures people into attaching others’ limbs to their bodies.
We beca scared and buried the horn in the wilderness.
I know others may want to dig it up, so I silenced those who buried it.’
‘On March 13th, it caught up with us…
Why would a giant ape dig it up?
We must run!
To the nearest Giant City as fast as possible!’
‘On March 14th, it’s all over, the giant ape seems to have set its sights on us, it has beco extrely terrifying, killing many wild beasts and monsters, turning into an even larger monster…
I only hope we are still in ti…’
Subsequently, the diary ended abruptly.
This is the price of a Taboo Item!
It bewitches creatures to blow it, and those that blow it develop an intense urge to sew other beings’ limbs onto their bodies!
