Villain: Let Go of the Girl of Luck, Let Me Take Over!!

73: White bones, eternal obsessionClang! Clang! Clang!

The sensation of the earth shaking returned, and Mu Wuchen and the other two once again looked towards the direction of the insect tide.

That sound seemed to be footsteps?

As Purple Heart Thunder Fire incinerated tens of thousands of insects, the situation on the other side finally became clear.

It was a gigantic skeleton!

The skeleton was three to four meters tall, and it was unclear what it was specifically; it looked both human-like and beast-like, appearing extremely terrifying.

At the very top of the skeleton, a massive skull was held high, and in its deeply sunken eye sockets, a strange golden-red flame flickered continuously. A large mouth repeatedly opened and closed, emitting strange sounds, as if it was trying to express something.

Mu Wuchen felt that the sound emitted by the skeleton seemed to be saying something, but he couldn’t understand it. Therefore, he decisively spent 200 Luck Points in the system store to purchase a cultivation method that allowed him to master various languages across all realms.

As the system’s successful purchase notification sounded, the indistinct sounds emitted by the giant skeleton finally became clear in his ears.

”Awooo—”

”For the sake of our Lord, kill!”

”For the sake of our Lord, kill!”

The giant skeleton repeated this sentence, as if it were a puppet without consciousness.

The giant skeleton walked step by step towards the three, the golden-red color in its eye sockets looking extremely bizarre. As the skeleton got closer to them, the tremors of the earth became more intense.

If his guess was correct, those strange insect swarms must have been avoiding the thing in front of them!

Seeing the skeleton approaching him step by step, Mu Wuchen extended a hand, and the phoenix formed by Purple Heart Thunder Fire reappeared above his head. With a clear phoenix cry, the purple phoenix directly enveloped the skeleton’s entire body!

The purple thunder fire instantly wrapped around the entire skeleton, burning with terrifying flames, as if to incinerate this monster, which had existed for an unknown number of years, into powder and shatter it into dust!

However, under the scorching of such terrifying flames, the giant skeleton still advanced step by step as if it felt nothing, its claws also began to wave continuously, and its mouth constantly emitted hoarse sounds.

”We haven’t lost, we can still fight!”

”Lord, we haven’t lost, I can still continue to fight!”

Mu Wuchen’s heart slightly trembled, thinking that this skeleton was truly sturdy; Purple Heart Thunder Fire actually couldn’t cause it any damage at all!

One must know that back in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Heavenly Cold Nether Flame directly burned a Mystic Infant expert until not even dregs remained!

And Purple Heart Thunder Fire’s ranking was far ahead of Heavenly Cold Nether Flame, and its power was much stronger!

Mu Wuchen estimated that even a Heavenly Human Realm expert, if they were to let Purple Heart Thunder Fire burn them directly without defense, probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it. However, the thing in front of him seemed to feel nothing, leaving no trace of injury.

But Mu Wuchen immediately understood.

This bone had clearly experienced countless years of erosion. If it wasn’t incredibly strong, even a slight breeze or water flow would have probably ground it into dust.

Seeing that the skeletal monster had already arrived in front of him, Mu Wuchen retracted Purple Heart Thunder Fire, and Xuanyuan Sword appeared out of thin air in his right hand. He wanted to personally test the weight of this skeleton!

However, just as he was about to make a move, the giant skeleton stopped right in front of Mu Wuchen and the others, the golden-red flames flickering in its eye sockets, seemingly hesitating.

The skeleton in front of them actually showed a human-like expression of contemplation!

Su Meier also looked at Mu Wuchen with confusion.

”Master, does this guy know you?”

Mu Wuchen shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.

”Are you... Lord?”

”No, you are not...”

”You are... you are not...”

In Yun Li and Su Meier’s ears, the giant skeleton emitted loud, unpleasant, and irregular roars, but in Mu Wuchen’s ears, the skeleton was muttering contradictory self-talk!

Just then, a strange sensation seemed to appear on Mu Wuchen’s body.

This is... the true dragon bone that was dug out of Lin Fan’s body back then?

The improvement gained from refining it back then was extremely limited, which had made Mu Wuchen somewhat disappointed.

However, the true dragon bone contained the ”Morning Feather” of the Lapis Lazuli Colorful Phoenix, which rapidly warmed his relationship with the little fairy Yun Li, so it could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Now, this true dragon bone actually had a reaction again?

Mu Wuchen immediately understood. The reason the skeleton in front of him was like this was very likely because it sensed the aura of the true dragon bone within him.

Mu Wuchen instantly made a decision. He released the power of the true dragon bone, while simultaneously concealing his other auras, and then walked step by step to the front of the skeleton.

Sensing Mu Wuchen’s arrival, the giant skeleton stood frozen in place, the golden-red flames in its eye sockets flickering incessantly, clearly very excited.

”You are, Lord...”

Its mouth emitted a muffled, whimpering sound.

”Lord... war... kill...”

Under Yun Li’s strange gaze, Mu Wuchen also emitted strange sounds, seemingly trying to communicate with the large skeleton.

The large skeleton in front of him seemed to be emotionally unstable, and Mu Wuchen was trying to calm its emotions.

”The war is over, victory belongs to us.”

However, as Mu Wuchen’s words fell, the giant skeleton’s body began to tremble violently, and the golden-red flames in its eyes also trembled intensely, causing the ground to shake precariously!

It seemed to be excited!

Suddenly, with a ”thud,” the giant skeleton actually knelt down on one knee directly in front of Mu Wuchen, and a hoarse voice came from within the skeleton, seemingly with some excitement.

”Lord, I am... I am...”

It seemed to want to report its name to Mu Wuchen, but it struggled several times and couldn’t utter it, as if it had already forgotten.

”Long live, my Emperor...”

However, just as it spoke the last sentence, the golden-red flames that had burned for hundreds of millions of years in the skeleton’s eye sockets actually extinguished!

Along with the extinguishing of the flames, the skeleton collapsed with a crash, scattering across the ground.

Looking at the scattered bones on the ground, Mu Wuchen was silent. At this moment, Su Meier and Yun Li had also come to his side, looking at the mess on the ground without a word.

Mu Wuchen had already roughly understood the origin of this skeleton.

In fact, the owner of this skeleton had already died in the great war hundreds of millions of years ago.

And although its body perished, a trace of its lingering will remained, a great yearning for victory and loyalty to the ”Lord” it spoke of.

This persistent will endured for hundreds of millions of years, neither dissipating nor perishing. Even without a flesh-and-blood body, only stark white bones remaining, and even though it had forgotten its own name, this persistent will had remained until now.

Until Mu Wuchen told it the lie that ”the war has been won”...
