Chapter 125 The Skeleton Army Exploring the World
"Mirror, calm down!" Huo Yuhao's voice was like an icy spring, instantly extinguishing the wildly flashing silver light on the surface of the Guardian Mirror: "With our strength, it's not worth the enemy setting a trap for us."
He calmly analyzed, his fingertips brushing against the protective mirror tied to his hair: "Your spatial perception can penetrate the barrier of this plane, which in itself means that no one is blocking this plane. So the problem may lie on the Dou Qi Continent."
"The most urgent task is to try to sense the coordinates of other dimensions."
"You're right, I lost my composure."
Huo Yuhao's calm demeanor soothed the Mirror of Protection, and the fluctuations in its light gradually subsided.
As instructed, it spread its consciousness, conducting a more detailed scan of the void where the Dou Qi Continent was originally located, while extending its spatial perception into the endless void, attempting to capture spatial fluctuations from other planes.
Huo Yuhao couldn't offer much help with the matter of spatial coordinates at the moment. Therefore, he decided to delve deeper into this plane to explore more information.
Huo Yuhao didn't linger and gestured for Protector Xue to follow. The two left the ruins of the city, which were now just the outlines of its foundations, and continued their trek across the desolate, gray-black land.
After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the scenery ahead finally changed. It was no longer the same monotonous, cracked plain.
Several enormous, withered bones, resembling toppled mountains, abruptly pierced the monotonous horizon.
They are twisted and obliquely embedded in the earth, their bones a sickly deep red, their surfaces covered with honeycomb-like holes and deep cracks, as if they had been crushed by an invisible force and eroded by the long years.
"These are the remains corrupted by the evil race from beyond the realm." The Mirror of Guardians sent a wisp of its consciousness across these colossal creatures, its light slightly condensing as it conveyed a hint of disgust: "Some of those disgusting things have rather perverse tastes, enjoying transforming prisoners or those who surrender into these puppet behemoths, using them as pawns."
"These bones—they might actually be of some use." Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then silently walked to a relatively intact giant bone.
He extended his finger, and a wisp of spiritual energy gathered at the tip, like a sharp carving knife, and gently touched the bone.
Without making a sound, the enormous skeleton, which required several people to encircle, silently shattered and disintegrated under the cutting power of spiritual energy. It eventually turned into a pile of sharply angled bone fragments, each about the length of a forearm.
"What are you doing? Are you hungry? Are you preparing to make soup with these things?" The Guardian Mirror looked at Huo Yuhao's actions with confusion: "Listen to me, the taste of the extraterrestrial evil race is extremely unpleasant."
Huo Yuhao didn't answer immediately, but continued to process the bone fragments methodically. He carefully mobilized his mental energy to further divide and refine them.
Eventually, these bone fragments transformed into countless pale bone strips of varying thickness and length. These bone strips were light and airy, seemingly weightless, and had a brittle texture like biscuits, as if they would crumble into powder with the slightest touch.
"I'll also be a pawn," Huo Yuhao said calmly.
Because of his aversion to the polluted energy of this plane, Huo Yuhao did not try to merge with this world, but instead used his immense spiritual power to control the energy of the surrounding world.
Under Huo Yuhao's careful control, this energy transformed into a trickle of water, slowly flowing into the bone pile to temper it and make it more solid.
Soon, the deep red on the bone strips faded, gradually revealing the pale white color familiar to necromancers.
Not satisfied with this, the energy of heaven and earth in this world is too thin, and even with Huo Yuhao's current abilities, he cannot temper these bones to a satisfactory strength.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao set his sights on the death energy and baleful energy that were mixed in with the energy of heaven and earth and were almost everywhere.
Under Huo Yuhao's skillful control, these special auras, like invisible flames, wrapped around those pale bones.
As the bone strips were tempered by deathly and malevolent energy, they emitted a faint hissing sound, their color becoming somewhat crystalline, yet their surface subtly revealed a dark luster.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Protector Xue, who was standing quietly beside him, diligently refining pills to recover his battle qi, and said with a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm in his tone: "Thanks to the help of those people from the Soul Palace, I've managed to pick up some knowledge of necromancy during this time."
He closed his eyes, and a spell with obscure and distorted syllables flowed from his lips, faintly resonating with the atmosphere of this desolate world.
[Summon Mass Skeletons]!
The moment the incantation was cast, the pale, tempered bone strips seemed to come alive! They trembled violently, as if being pulled by invisible threads, rapidly combining and piecing together! In the blink of an eye, hundreds of skeleton soldiers of various shapes appeared before Huo Yuhao.
Their heads were pieced together from fragments of bone, with a faint gray-black mist emanating from the empty eye sockets and broken neck bones. The joints of their skeletons rubbed together, producing a teeth-grinding "click," and an aura of coldness mixed with eerie vitality spread out.
Huo Yuhao sensed the power fluctuations of these skeleton soldiers and nodded slightly: "They are roughly at the Dou Shi level, which is barely enough."
"This, this is—" The Guardian Mirror was completely stunned. Its surface flickered wildly again, trying to piece together a shocked expression: "You, you wouldn't happen to be a member of the extraterrestrial evil race, would you?"
However, the Mirror of Guardians quickly dismissed its doubts: "No, you are cultivating normal天地能量 (heaven and earth energy), which is something that the extraterrestrial evil races cannot do."
Huo Yuhao's hands didn't stop moving as he continued creating skeleton soldiers, and he casually chuckled, "Maybe I really am an extraterrestrial demon?"
"Heh, if you're an extraterrestrial evil race, then I'm their evil god!" the mirror said disdainfully.
Huo Yuhao stopped joking with the Guardian Mirror. After turning the huge skeletons into skeleton soldiers, he divided them into eight teams and sent them off in different directions.
With a thought, Huo Yuhao split his spiritual power into eight spiritual clones, each of which entered the consciousness core of a skeleton soldier, serving as the leader of each undead team.
With Huo Yuhao's current level of cultivation, he is capable of simultaneously controlling dozens of different threads of consciousness.
"Go." The silent command was given. Under the guidance of Huo Yuhao's mental clone, the undead legion composed of skeleton soldiers spread out silently like a gray tide, surging in all directions.
Their mission is singular: to find anything different from this desolate and gloomy place—whether it be wreckage, ruins, or living things.
From above, this torrent of the dead looks like a drop of ink falling into murky, stagnant water, the ink spreading at an alarming rate across this desolate world.
