Chapter 498

After Gu Ding left the Virtual World, his Imperial Phenomenon Body had been enhanced, and he had also obtained the True God's inherited cultivation method, Skyburn. His strength was more than twice as strong as when he was in the Virtual World.

With the full power of the five energy nodes, the black God Source was like a flood that completely engulfed the two huge silver skeletons. In just a moment, the screams that were even more shrill than those of the bronze skeletons before reverberated further away.

Gu Ding frowned when he heard this. He knew that this kind of howl would cause more skeletons to wake up from the ground.

Fortunately, the two screams only lasted for a moment before they stopped abruptly.

Before Gu Ding's eyes, the two silver skeletons' palms that were hit by Gu Ding suddenly disintegrated, and the momentum of the disintegration spread along their arms to the rest of their bodies. In just a few seconds, they completely disintegrated into two piles of broken bones that looked like huge mountains.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Ding stored all the broken bones into the Storage Space that Robert had created. The Storage Space's capacity was almost unlimited, and it was an independent existence that was completely out of Skynet's control. Gu Ding's crew, except for Phaser who had not officially met Robert, had one. Everyone in the crew could stuff anything they had into it.

The reason why they did not absorb it immediately with the Devouring Fire was that even if they were broken into pieces, these bones were not something that Gu Ding's current flame could easily refine. It would still take a few years to refine them. Gu Ding planned to wait for a while and find an opportunity to strengthen the Divine Fire in his body again before absorbing them.

After collecting the two piles of broken bones, Gu Ding did not stop and continued to run in the direction where Mi was. In Gu Ding's body, the flesh and blood energy contained in the bronze skeletons that he had previously absorbed continued to strengthen the cultivation of Gu Ding's Imperial Phenomenon Body.

After learning about the skeletons from Neptune, Phaser also sped up and rushed in the direction where Mi was.

He was very lucky along the way as he did not encounter any Silver-level skeletons blocking his way. The few times he did encounter Bronze-level skeletons, they were all killed by him with one slash of his sword. He did not stop at all.

As for Mi, although she had hidden herself according to Neptune's instructions, there were skeletons in the nearby area that had awakened. Fortunately, they were just Bronze-level skeletons that did not seem to have formed a consciousness, let alone the ability to investigate. They only relied on their instincts brought about by their will to fight to search and wander around.

Mi Ke's thin body hid in an abandoned cave and set up a camouflage formation at the entrance of the cave, completely covering the cave's entrance. Then, she sat on a smooth rock and waited patiently for Gu Ding and the others to arrive. From the information he received from Neptune, he knew that this area was not as simple as everyone had previously thought. Danger was almost everywhere. People like him who were not strong enough could only learn to avoid danger if they wanted to survive.

Although a Camouflage Array Formation had been set up at the entrance of the cave, one could still see the outside from the inside. If Mi Ke Ke's eyes could see, he would not be as calm as he was now, because there were a lot of Bronze-ranked skeletons that had awakened nearby. There were at least 20 to 30 of them. As they wandered, they would occasionally pass by Mi's cave. Mi Ke Ke only needed to listen to the commotion to know that these guys outside were definitely not small in size. If she really saw these huge skeletons walking around outside, it was very likely that she would be frightened.

After learning about Mi Ke's condition from Neptune, Gu Ding was slightly relieved. However, he could not help but sigh at Mi Ke's good luck. According to Neptune's investigation, not only was there not a single Silver-tier skeleton within fifty thousand kilometers of Mi, there was not even a single awakened Bronze Skeleton. All of them were mindless skeletons that relied solely on their will to fight. As long as Mi Ke didn't make any movements, he would definitely not be discovered by these people who didn't have the ability to detect him.

Neptune also told Mi Ke He the good news and told him not to worry and to wait patiently.

On the other side, Elsa also encountered some trouble.

There were two Silver-level skeletons and more than 20 Bronze-level skeletons that had awakened in the area where she was at, causing her to fall into a bitter struggle.

It didn't take her much effort to deal with more than twenty Bronze-ranked skeletons. However, the two gigantic silver skeletons forced her into a bitter battle. After a few hours, she had only left a few shallow scratches on the two silver skeletons. Escaping was even more impossible. Those skeletons could cross over ten kilometers in one step, they were a lot faster than Elsa. Elsa could only try her best to deal with the skeletons with her body movement and struggle to hold on.

Gu Ding became even more anxious when he heard about Elsa's situation. He had been running around for more than ten hours without any problems. Along the way, he encountered several groups of skeletons that intercepted him, but he unleashed his full strength and quickly killed them. When he encountered the Silver-level skeletons, Gu Ding even used the Skyburn technique to suppress them.

When Gu Ding arrived at the area where Elsa was, Elsa was already covered in wounds. She was a physical cultivator, and her clothes were stained with blood.

Gu Ding clenched his fists and glared at the two skeletons.

At a glance, Gu Ding also noticed that the two Silver-level skeletons were in a different state from when he was fighting them. They seemed to be more crazy and bloodthirsty.

"The two skeletons smelled the blood on Elsa's body. The blood will arouse their desire to kill even stronger. Moreover, I just realized that with enough flesh and blood energy, it seems that they can reconstruct their bodies and return to their original human appearance. This is the main reason why they are so excited. "

Gu Ding's doubts only flashed through his mind for a moment before he was answered by Neptune. In fact, he did not care what the answer was. These guys had hurt Elsa, and they had touched his sore spot.

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Ding standing in front of her, but then she asked worriedly, "These two guys have strong defenses. Do you need my help?"

"Don't worry, I've killed a lot of them. You should avoid them for now." As Gu Ding spoke, his body was already soaked in flames. His body directly transformed from a physical form to a fire elemental form. Looking at the two Silver-level skeletons rushing toward him, he immediately pinched his hands to attack.

When Elsa heard Gu Ding's words, she quickly leaped a few times and dodged into the distance. Seeing Gu Ding pinching the seals from afar, she knew what Gu Ding was going to do. She knew that she was not far enough away, so she continued to run into the distance.

Just as the two skeletons were about to pounce on him, Gu Ding's figure suddenly dodged. Almost at the same time, a huge flaming hand quickly condensed in the void. The giant hand was even bigger than the two skeletons, and it directly pounced toward the two Silver-level skeletons and pinched them.

Only two screams and the sound of bones breaking could be heard. The two remaining silver skulls of the two Silver-level skeletons fell to the ground, and there was no more sound. Only then did the huge hand dissipate, and the broken bones of the two Silver-level skeletons scattered all over the ground.

Elsa stood far away and saw the scene clearly. She could not help but gape for a long time. She had thought that after this period of cultivation, her strength should not be too far behind Gu Ding's. However, she found that although Gu Ding's cultivation had not increased, his strength had been skyrocketing. She was well aware of the strength of the two skeletons. She had attacked with all her might, but she could only leave shallow white marks on their bodies. However, Gu Ding could directly crush the two Silver-level skeletons with one blow. One could imagine the gap between them.

After smashing the two Silver-level skeletons, Gu Ding waved his hand and put away all the bone fragments. Then, he appeared in front of Elsa in a flash. "Are you okay?"

Elsa shook her head. She knew that her body was just a flesh wound, and it was not a big deal. With the strength of her body, her self-recovery speed was extremely fast. It was just that she was a little tired after fighting continuously for more than ten hours.

Neptune examined her and did not find any problems. He only asked her to inject herself with two God Source Recovery Elixirs. After a short rest, the two of them set off again.

Dockett and Lilliath were relatively much more relaxed. Both of them had powerful souls.

Dockett also encountered Silver-level skeletons. His normal attacks were naturally ineffective, but with Neptune's reminder, he used Soul Shock on the Silver-level skeletons and killed them more easily than Gu Ding. After they fell, the new consciousness that these skeletons condensed was far less than a tenth of their original strength. Without the protection of a Soul Dimension, they were instantly destroyed by Dockett's Soul Shock.

These new consciousnesses were condensed from the will to fight, and they were also attached to the will to fight. Once the consciousness collapsed, the will to fight would lose its attachment and automatically collapse. It would take at least millions of years for it to condense again.

Therefore, the Silver-level skeletons that had their consciousnesses destroyed by Dockett's Soul Shock went limp. It felt like a spaceship that had run out of energy and stopped operating.

Lilliath, on the other hand, was even more arrogant. She just stared at the skeletons' empty eye sockets and directly engraved her soul imprint on the skeletons' consciousnesses. Then, she casually jumped onto the head of the largest silver skeleton and commanded the skeleton army to hurry on.

At first, she did not even let go of the Bronze-level skeletons. Later, after encountering a few silver skeletons along the way, she simply gave up on the bronze skeletons and only controlled the Silver-level skeletons.

After two days, Lilliath's army of silver skeletons had expanded to twelve. She still had no trouble controlling them. The consciousnesses of these skeletons seemed extremely weak to her, and they were only at the level of a middle deity. Lilliath's current soul control might even be able to trick a four or five-star extreme deity. With the strength of her soul, controlling tens of thousands of Silver-level skeletons would not be a problem.
