Chapter 374: Infant's Cry
out was extremely odd. It sounded like a child's voice, yet also like a young person's, but with an undercurrent of an elderly voice mixed in.It sounds like all the voices of a person at every differ...Feeling the touch of the small white boat on his fingertips, Jiang Yun softly uttered four words from his mouth: "This is... bone!"
Then, he said more surely: "And, it's beast bones!"
As soon as his words left his lips, he suddenly raised his head. His awareness and gaze swept across all the other white boats floating on the Black Sea.
These white boats are almost identical in both style and size.
Obviously, each little boat is a bone.
That is to say, there are a total of nine hundred white animal bones here!
Although Jiangyun didn't know what kind of creature these bones came from, he already had a bold guess in mind.
These nine hundred bones should belong to the body of a beast.
This is not something that Jiang Yun guessed out of thin air.
Because as early as when he was with the Luo family, he already knew that the thousand-zhang long Inverse Demon Bridge was actually the bone of a demon.
While the nine hundred animal skeletons floating on the Black Sea before our eyes, even if pieced together completely, wouldn't reach a thousand zhang in length, so it wasn't terribly frightening.
Jiang Yun's gaze shifted back to the small boat beneath him, and he reached out again, carefully stroking the bone.
Years of hunting life in Mangshan Mountains trained Jiang Yun to develop a special skill - bone-setting.
Through bone reading, he not only could know the type of animal to which the bones belonged, but also clearly judge the corresponding age of the animal.
And after a moment, Ginger Cloud had a general idea: “Although I can’t tell what kind of beast this bone belonged to, it seems my guess was correct.”
"These nine hundred bones, they clearly belong to the spine of a beast!"
"And in its lifetime, it lived for at least a thousand years!"
>Jiang Yun had encountered the oldest beast in his life, no more than a few hundred years old. So he didn't know the specific age of a beast that lived for over a thousand years.
Straightening up, Jiang Yun's gaze once again fell upon the surroundings.
At this moment, silence has returned to this place because the fighting has ended.
One thousand people, now there are less than nine hundred, and even some white bones are empty, not a single cultivator present.
Obviously, during this brief skirmish, a few pairs of cultivators chose to perish together.
All the surviving cultivators were now standing on a pile of bones, carefully examining them as if they had completely forgotten about the over one hundred cultivators who had perished.
Ginger Cloud naturally wouldn't feel sympathy for those deceased cultivators. Since they entered the Illusory Tower, they all already thought about the consequence of death.
Although knowing these small boats were made of animal bones, it offered no help in their current predicament.
Jiang Yun's attention was once again focused on the black ocean.
After a moment of contemplation, Gingercloud turned to Bai Ze and asked for his opinion: "Bai Ze, what are your thoughts on this place"
Bai Ze had previously sensed the presence of powerful demonic energy here, perhaps he could know something.
However, before Bai Ze could even open his mouth to answer, this incredibly peaceful black ocean suddenly trembled slightly.
Although the tremor was not strong, several cultivators, including Ginger Cloud, had already acutely sensed it. One by one, they turned their gazes towards the direction from which the tremor came.
And at once, the expressions of all of them changed slightly.
Especially Jiang Yun, at this moment, precisely delivered his voice into the ears of all the disciples of the Wen Dao Sect: "Hold onto the white bone beneath you!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yun's transmission, the disciples of Wen Dao Sect all paused for a moment in surprise.
However, as they were all very clear about Jiang Yun's strength, they didn't dare to be careless. Apart from Fang Yu Xuan, almost everyone else instinctively began to circulate their spiritual energy, stabilizing their bodies.
Even some people actually squatted down and hugged the white bones tightly with both hands.
Just then, the tremors on the sea surface suddenly intensified, to the point where everyone could clearly see that dozens of enormous whirlpools had suddenly appeared on the previously calm surface of the water!
Each vortex is at least a thousand meters in diameter, and the rotational speed is extremely fast.
But within the dizzying speed of these whirlpools, a powerful suction force is generated.
Nearly nine hundred white bones, completely without any resistance, were almost all sucked into the vortex in an instant.
Some cultivators who hadn't received the warning and those too close to the vortex were caught off guard. They were directly pulled out of their bones by the suction force, falling into the water. Before they could even scream, they vanished without a trace.
Ginger Cloud had already made preparations when he warned his fellow disciples, so even though the white bones beneath him were quickly pulled into the vortex, there was not a shred of panic in his heart.
Even at this moment, his eyes were wide open, fixed on the vortex pulling him in, trying hard to discern if there was anything special about it.
"Boom!"
The suction force from the vortex grew stronger, and wave after wave of black giant waves surged up, towering like mountains, crashing down on Ginger Cloud layer upon layer.
Even with Ginger Cloud's tough physique, he could feel a tingling pain from that ferocious power.
Needless to say, how the others caught in the whirlpool must be feeling!
However, Jiang Yun also didn't care about the pain in his body. His eyes flickered with light because inside this vortex, he clearly saw several things that were shining.
And these things, they were the few treasures that appeared within the nine streaks of light emanating from the mirage before entering it.
"These treasures, are they all hidden beneath the Black Sea"
Just as this thought arose in Jiang Yun's mind, a sound like the whimpering of an infant suddenly echoed through the vortex he was in.
As the sound entered his ears, Jiang Yun's consciousness, which had always been clear, suddenly began to blur.
This caused a sudden chill to run through him. He bit his tongue hard, and just before his consciousness completely vanished, he flung his arms wide open.
Ten fingers, like ten unbreakable blades, plunged straight into the white bones beneath.
Next, the sound of a baby crying once again rang in his ears. It finally destroyed Jiang Yun's remaining consciousness and plunged him into a coma!
Jiang Yun, along with the white bones beneath him, was directly pulled into the depths of the black ocean under the frenzied spinning of the whirlpool!
However, he didn't know that while he was in a coma, Bai Ze within the Refining Demon Pen suddenly widened his eyes, an expression of disbelief flashing in them.
“This, this sounds like...like the call of a Yinling beast!”
"However, Yinling creatures had long since been extinct. How could they still exist here"
"Could this be..."
……
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yun finally opened his eyes.
At first glance, I saw my own hands, still firmly gripping the white bone.
And the skeleton, unexpectedly, was not suspended in seawater but existed on the same black earth.
This also immediately reminded him of the situation before he fell into a coma. Therefore, instead of getting up in a hurry, he released his divine sense and checked the surrounding environment.
At a glance, a cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes!
Because he discovered, at a distance of about three zhang from his current position, there was a person!
This is a man in his thirties, with messy hair and tattered clothes. His eyes are bloodshot, filled with a murderous gleam, as he slowly approaches me step by step!
