Ch. 1621..1630

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1601

Alex Rockefeller and Luna Flores were both a little dumbfounded.

However, from the look in the other person’s eyes, she seemed even more in shock Her entire body froze, and she kept backing away. Moreover, from her voice, they could tell that she was a woman.

After being stunned for half a second, Alex immediately rushed over and grabbed the woman just as she was about to escape. He covered her mouth with his hand.

“Don’t make a sound!”

“We’ll discuss properly!” Alex said softly.

This was the internal part of Hygieia Valley, and there was a row of houses up ahead. They could even see some people walking in and out of the houses. If they weren’t careful, they’d be noticed.

Soon, the three of them quietly sneaked into a small forest nearby.

Under broad daylight, this woman’s face was covered up, and she even sneaked around. Indeed, she wasn’t someone from Hygieia Valley! Alex also felt speechless about bumping into someone who happened to be sneaking into the place to steal stuff. He didn’t know what to say. It was probably because Hygieia Valley was too much of a temptation for thieves!

Snap!

Luna used a snapped tree branch and poked it against the woman’s neck. With a single move, Luna removed the mask on her face.

She turned out to be a relatively young girl. In fact, she looked quite attractive.

“Who are you?” Alex asked.

The woman shook her head nervously, and she refused to speak

“Don’t bother asking. She’s from Floral Valley,” Luna said.

“How do you know that?” Alex asked curiously.

“I saw her on the dock earlier,” Luna said.

Alex chuckled. After that, he recalled how this woman was behaving. “Why would someone from Floral Valley sneak into Hygieia Valley? Could you be a spy Hygieia Valley sent into Floral Valley?” he asked with a shocked expression on his face.

“…”

The woman remained silent.

“Or perhaps, you are the lover of a handsome dude from Hygieia Valley. Did you sneak in here to secretly meet up with him using this opportunity?” Alex asked.

The woman’s eyes snapped wide open. Her reaction failed to escape Alex’s eyes, and he knew he had guessed wrong.

Meanwhile, Luna immediately interrupted Alex. “You think everyone sneaks like you, having affairs with other people?” she asked.

“When did I do that? I was the one who was tricked into having sex, alright?” Alex retorted.

Luna snorted.

After that, she glared coldly at the woman. “Tell us immediately about your background and why you’re here. Otherwise… I’ll strip you naked and hang you in the men’s bathroom. After that, I’ll write you’re a spy from Flora] Valley all over your body…”

The woman trembled when she heard this. Clearly, she never thought that anybody would do something so cruel to her.

“Speak!” By then, Luna’s hand was already on the woman’s chest. Her finger even touched the protruding part.

Alex could clearly sense that the woman had goosebumps around her neck. Her goosebumps had immediately appeared.

Alex looked at Luna with a shocked and curious expression. ‘Could this person actually be interested in women too? From the looks of her hand movements, she seems to be well trained!’

“I’ll talk!”

“I… I came to Hygieia Valley to steal… The access tokens,” the woman said.

Alex and Luna looked at each other.

“What access tokens?”

“Access tokens to Spiritual Valley Dungeon,” the woman replied.

‘Dungeon?’ Alex and Luna were both shocked.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1621

“Ah!”

Luna was shocked. She hastily pulled her leg out of the hand with force. When she looked down, she could feel a numbness in her scalp. ‘What kind of hand is this?’

There was no flesh or blood on it, but just white bones.

“W-what is this thing?”

Jasmine screamed terrifyingly. She never knew that skeletons could come out of the ground to grab people. The skilled Luna was brave after all. Even though she was frightened, she lifted up her leg fiercely and stepped on the white bone’s palm hard. The hand was immediately trampled into pieces with a crisp crack, scattering all over the ground.

She let out a breath of relief and was slightly relaxed. But at this moment, another band burrowed out of the ground at the side and grabbed Luna’s ankle. This time it was her left leg.

However, this time Luna did not manage to break free. It was because at this time, more than ten long and short hands burrowed out of the ground and grabbed her feet and calves. They even forcibly dragged her downwards, trying to pull Luna underground.

In that instant, Luna felt a burst of goosebumps all over her body.

She felt uneasy.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a large sword appeared, slashing ruthlessly on the white bones’ arms. Luna struggled fiercely and finally regained her freedom.

She immediately jumped two steps away and stood beside Alex. With a stunned look on her face, she said, “What are these things?”

Alex shook his head. “I’m not sure either. But the Yin energy here is very strong. Everyone, be careful… Jasmine, come here. Don’t stay too far away from me.”

Now, Jasmine was a little confused as well. She only came to her senses after listening to Alex’s words. However, just when Jasmine was about to walk over, she saw the soil behind Alex suddenly break open and two arms stretched out of it. Of course, they were still white bones. Meanwhile, this pair of white bones’ arms grasped the ground hard. Immediately afterwards, a skull burrowed out of the soil.

“Ah!”

She screamed in dismay and pointed behind Alex while shivering.

Alex and Luna turned their heads instinctively. When they saw that scene, they immediately took a few steps backwards.

After that, they watched the skull burrow out of the soil. Alex did not take action immediately as he wanted to find out what this thing actually was.

As a result, that thing jumped vigorously and crawled out of the ground.

It was really a skeleton.

The dense mass of white bones were covered in Yin energy. The creepiest part was that there was a faint red glow in its dark eye sockets, making it seem extremely creepy.

Luna could not help but grab Alex’s hand. Her palm was slightly sweating as she said, “Don’t be afraid, isn’t this just a dead skeletal ghost? My sister is an expert ghost hunter, and I’ve seen this kind of thing many times.”

Alex could feel the sweat in her palm. He said, “Don’t shake your hand when you speak. Otherwise, it will betray your inner fear.”

“My fear? You really know how to spew nonsense!” Luna took out the Sky-Devil Zither from her mind palace and was ready to attack.

Unexpectedly, the ground was making ‘plop’ sounds. At the same time, hundreds of hands burrowed out of the ground. In the next moment, densely packed skeletons crawled out of the ground.

Luna immediately let go of Alex. She pushed him and said, “You’re a man, you should go!”

‘D*mn it!’

Alex looked at the hundreds of skeletons and could not accept it for a moment.

“I heard that if some white bones are buried in a prosperous and treasured cemetery, they’d absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all day. They will grow a portion of spiritual wisdom in them just like the White Bone Spirit in the Journey to the West!” said Alex as he condensed the lightning attributed spiritual power in his hand.

“Oh, please! Hurry up and get rid of them! They are growing in numbers!” said Luna.

“Lightning, come forth!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1622

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following Alex’s bellow, more than a dozen lightning fell from the sky. Many tiny lightning nets even enveloped the entire space.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Multiple bone cracks were heard. Hundreds of skeletons had fallen from the lightning strike. A small half of them were blown apart, with bones scattered all over the ground.

Alex was slightly proud of it. He winked his left eye at Luna. “Look, aren’t they just a pile of dead bones? I could simply wipe them off in a minute!”

Before his voice fell, the fallen skeletons stood up again. Not only that, the broken, scattered bones were reconnected. Moreover, they rejoined the force. Even Alex could feel that the strength of the skeletal soldiers that were electrocuted by him once did not decrease but increased. Surprisingly, they were even fiercer than before.

Hundreds of crimson red pupils of the hundreds of skeletons were staring straight at Alex.

Jasmine yelled, “Run!”

She turned around abruptly and ran toward the outside of the valley.

At this point, Alex did not dare to show off anymore. He hurriedly pulled Luna along and started running away. “No, Dragon Blood Vine… We haven’t gotten the Dragon Blood Vine!” Luna shouted.

“We’ll find a way to get it later,” said Alex.

“What if these skeletons took it? Wouldn’t my sister be beyond salvation?”

Speechless, Alex thought, ‘These are all skeletons. These guys have a mouth without a tongue and a sternum without a stomach. Why would they need the Dragon Blood Vine? But, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If we really lose the Dragon Blood Vine because of this, this trip would’ve gone wasted!’

“Fine then. You attack and cover for me while I go and pluck it,” said Alex loudly.

Just when the skeletons pounced on them, Alex used the Imperial Sword Flight and flew over the heads of many skeletons.

Strum! Strum! Strum!

Luna’s Sky-devil Zither sounded.

At first, she thought the weak skeletal monsters would fall apart like how Alex smite them with lightning. To her surprise, the skeletal monsters seemed to be very insensitive to sound. They had no reaction at all when they heard the sound from Luna’s Sky-devil Zither.

Instead, when they saw Alex fly over them to pluck the Dragon Blood Vine, a few skeletons were pulled and thrown up high by their companions, charging at Alex.

“Alex, be careful!”

Luna was frustrated as her attack turned out to be ineffective.

After alerting Alex, she immediately sent out the Sound Wave of Killing Arc.

The sound could neither disturb the skeletons without eardrums nor affect the souls that might be in them. However, the Sound Wave of Killing Arc was a real magical attack and it was quite powerful. Immediately, three skeletons that charged forward burst into pieces. The several other skeletons were blown away by Alex’s Brahma’s Supreme Touch.

As the name implied, Dragon Blood Vine was a kind of plant vine. This kind of vine was extremely peculiar. It was blood red and had glowing blood flowing inside it. When it was cut with a knife, red sap would flow out from it just like blood.

Time was running short.

Below was a densely packed legion of skeletons, If Alex were to fall into it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Alex grabbed the void. With a huge force, he grabbed at least ten vines and forcefully ripped them off, throwing them into his storage purse. Then, he quickly retreated.

“Run!”

“Quick!”

Alex flew back with the Imperial Sword Flight. He pulled Luna and hurriedly fled toward the outside of the valley.

The skeletons were too creepy.

They could not kill them no matter how they fought them. Two more would come out after one died, and more would appear.

At this moment, Jasmine, who had already ran out of the valley, screamed all of a sudden. Something raised her body high and threw her into the valley.

The two of them stared at the thing and gasped. They could only see a ten meter tall huge skeleton standing at the exit of the valley.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1623

“God d*nm it!”

Alex yelled. He hurriedly slowed down the speed of the Imperial Sword Flight.

The difficulty of using the Imperial Sword Flight in the air while carrying an adult like Luna was evident. Alex was very exhausted after a while.

However, when they stopped, the army of several hundreds of skeletons caught up to them at the back.

Jasmine was blown back by the huge skeleton.

A blow like that almost killed her. Even her clothes from the Floral Valley were torn, with a large piece of fabric still hanging on the skeleton’s fingers. Half of her stomach was exposed, leaving two lines of wounds.

The injury was serious.

“Sh*t! Have we really run into the White Bone Spirit?” Alex complained.

Luna said with a solemn expression, “Under normal circumstances, even if this is a graveyard, there won’t be so many skeletons. A ten meter tall skeleton is even more impossible! So, this guy is definitely not transformed from a human being… Maybe, this is the real reason why the city in front has turned into ruins.”

As Alex moved his hand, the Dragon Bone Sword, Seven Blades of Death and the Breaking Point all appeared before him.

He reached into his storage purse and took out the half of the strange broken talisman. He smacked it on Luna’s hand. “You’ll deal with the small ones at the back. Leave this big guy to me!”

That talisman was the one that was snatched from the hand of Herschel Lancaster of Hygieia Valley.

Of course, this definitely did not belong to Herschel, but the old spirit that had possessed his body.

While talking, Luna was already sitting cross-legged on the ground. The demonic Chi on her body was instantly released, continuously soaring.

She knew that the skeletons were immune to her Sky-Devil Zither, so she had to use the Sound Wave of Killing Arc to deal physical damage.

Strum! Strum! Strum!

The demonic note sounded. Luna’s ten fingers were strumming the zither strings on high frequency. There was only a burst of rapid zither sound.

As for the key and tune?

There were none!

Multiple Sound Wave of Killing Arc charged toward the army of skeletons like snowflakes. Whereas, Alex combined the three Dragon Swords and charged toward the ten meter tall big guy.

However, at this moment, Alex was suddenly shocked. He felt the feeling of being inexplicably spied once again.

‘Ah, sh*t! It can’t be this big skeleton that spied on me previously, right?’

Alex could not care much.

“Lightning, Thousand Sword Tactics!”

The Thousand Sword Tactics imbued with the additional lightning effect was Alex’s creation. He thought if the small skeletons could be damaged by Thunder Palm Mantra, the big one should be affected similarly.

In fact, he had underestimated the power of the giant skeleton. The Dragon Sword was not able to cut through his tough bones.

It was not the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six that was not sharp enough, but his cultivation level was too low to exercise the true ability of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six. The Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six was a piece of magical treasure. Whether a magical treasure was powerful or not, first it depended on the magical treasure itself, but the user was extremely important as

well. His cultivation level was low, so he was not able to exert one percent of the power of this set of magical treasure.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A sequence of sounds was heard.

The three swords were all shaken apart.

A gray layer of energy shield enveloped the giant skeleton, permeating a mysterious and dark aura. Alex tried several means of attack but they all failed to deal any true damage to it.

Instead, Luna won the fights after another.

As she played the Sky-Devil Zither extravagantly and beautifully, hundreds of skeletal monsters were constantly being blown apart and reorganized. Following the process, Luna noticed that the skeletal monsters were getting slower at restructuring. In other words, these undead beings were actually killable.

They just needed to be killed several more times!

However, at this time, the ten meter tall skeleton suddenly squatted down and opened its mouth to roar fiercely. The next moment, the skeletal monsters scrambled and dashed madly, as if they had heard some kind of command.

Luna turned pale with fright.

She strung the Sky-Devil Zither even more hurriedly and louder. The Killing Arc flew out at an even faster speed.

But unlike previously, these small skeletal creatures had the same layer of gray shield protecting them. The Sound Wave of Killing Arc had lost its supposed effect.

“Ah! Alex, I can’t hold it anymore. Hurry up and run!” yelled Luna as she saw the legion of skeletons rushing madly over to her.

She grabbed her Sky-Devil Zither and went to pull Alex

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1624

However, at this time, those skeletons jumped up one after another. With a swoosh, they all jumped very high toward the direction of the giant skeleton king.

The next moment, a rather strange scene happened. Those little skeletal monsters charged into the body of the giant skeleton king and blended in perfectly with it. Immediately afterwards, the giant skeleton king reached out its arm into his empty stomach and pulled out a bone whip!

“D*mn it!”

Alex and Luna were dumbfounded. To their surprise, the hundreds of skeleton armies earlier turned out to be the giant skeleton king’s whip its weapon.

It shook its arm and the whip made some clunking noise. The snow-white whip was at least forty or fifty meters long, and there was a sharp bone spur in front of it.

The bone whip was raised up and stopped in the air. Afterwards, it ruthlessly whipped toward the twopeople.

“Dodge it quickly!”

Alex activated the Lightning Sprint. While his feet were stepping on the lightning flowers, he carried Luna and quickly dodged it. The whip hit the ground heavily and instantly created a huge rift. One side of the mountain burst and rocks flew everywhere, as if the world was falling apart.

Alex and Luna had a solemn expression and felt bitter when they saw such mighty power.

‘This guy’s ability was definitely way greater than Herschel.’ Alex thought since he had survived the Golden Light of Lightning Tribulation and achieved the Core Formation stage, he should be of someone great. Unexpectedly, it was a slap in the face every minute. The bone whip instantly slapped him back to reality when his face was covered in dust.

Luna wiped off the dust on her face and said, “I suddenly have a bad feeling about this.”

Alex said, “How bad?”

“We might not be able to survive it.”

“Shut up! I don’t want to die yet!”

“Who wants to die, huh? My mom still wants me to give birth to a grandchild for her! But this is way too painful! I’ll die of pain before I could even give birth. I don’t even understand what those people having affairs are thinking of. Are they trying to look for pain? Otherwise, it must be because your brute are not skillful!”

“To hell with you! You won’t be able to give birth to a paternal grandchild. You can only give birth to a maternal grandchild.”

“To hell with your mother, to hell with your father. Can’t I just find someone married into my family?”

In the life and death moment, the two people were cursing at each other, as if that was the only way that could ease the tension in their minds.

Meanwhile, the white bone whip was raised up high again. This time, the giant skeleton was serious. The white bone whip was covered in a ghostly aura and the spirits were howling.

Even before the attack hit, they could sense death.

In the nick of time, a loud bang suddenly fell down from the sky, like a belt out of the blue.

“Meow!”

“Um..?”

Alex and Luna were dumbfounded.

‘What was going on?’

‘A fallen cat from the sky?’

The sound was so loud that their eardrums could swell.

How big could this cat be?

Most importantly, after the cat cried, the murderous giant skeleton king just now became terrifyingly afraid and trembling all of a sudden, as if a mouse had just seen a cat. The aura on the white bone whip in his hand had disappeared instantly as well.

“What the hell, this skeleton king seems to be afraid of cats!” said Alex shockingly.

At this moment, the skeleton king turned around and fled. It did not want to fight anymore.

Alex and Luna were both shocked at the sight of it. Luna said, “If only we had known this would happen, wouldn’t it be just fine for us to meow like a cat?”

Right after she said that, a white shadow moved as fast as lightning and pounced at the skeleton king.

Crack!

Something hit the skeleton king’s head.

At a closer look, it was indeed a cat!

A white cat!

Alex suddenly had an enlightenment. He finally knew where the feeling of being spied on came from. It was not from the skeleton king but this white cat.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1625

“Look, the defensive shield on the skeleton king is gone now!” yelled Luna.

“This is a good opportunity!”

Without any hesitation, Alex immediately maneuvered the three Dragon Bone Swords and shot them at the skeleton king.

“Meow!”

At the same time, the white cat let out a stern cry once again.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The Sword of the Universe, the Blade of Seven Death and the Breaking Point all shot into the body of the skeleton king at once. The lightning attributed spiritual power on them exploded in a split second, creaking on the skeleton king’s body.

Roar!

The skeleton king let out a roar as well.

In the next second, its white bone body fell apart like an avalanche as the bones fell off piece by piece. In the end, all of the bones were piled up into a small hill on the ground. The only thing that remained intact was that long white bone whip.

“It just died like that?”

“Isn’t it… Too weak?”

Even Alex could not believe that the skeleton king just died like that.

The two people looked at the white cat cautiously. In the end, they could not see anything.

It looked just like a normal white domestic cat. When Alex and Luna looked at it, the cat even lowered its head and walked to Alex’s feet and smelled the edge of his pants.

Luna nearly wanted to attack the white cat.

Alex’s body was slightly stiffened as well. However, he stopped Luna in time because the temperament emanating from the white cat made him feel a sense of inexplicable intimacy.

Swoosh!

The white cat gently jumped and landed on Alex’s shoulder with ease. The cat’s green eyes stared at Alex who just turned around.

Luna condensed demonic Chi in her hand and immediately grabbed the cat.

“Meow!”

Swoosh!

The cat moved very fast, and a front paw ruthlessly scratched Luna on the back of her hand. Instantly, blood was streaming and the back of her hand had three lines of scratch marks.

They were so deep that her bones were revealed.

“Ouch!” Luna yelled in pain.

Alex immediately reached his hand out to try to calm Luna who was about to go berserk. “Take it easy. This little thing seems to mean no harm.”

It was just the position of his hand was not right, and it landed right on the woman’s chest.

Luna’s body shivered. She angrily brushed Alex’s hand off. Seeing Alex’s eyes fixated on that white cat, she knew now was not the right time to fly into a tantrum. So, she suppressed the murderous intention toward the white cat in her mind.

The white cat turned around and let out a gentle and soft cry as it rubbed against Alex’s chin with its head.

Alex had every nerve tensed up. When Alex and the cat’s eyes gazed at each other, he could strangely feel a sense of sadness.

Indeed, the sense of sadness came from the white eat. It even shed a tear like a pet dog that finally found its owner with an exhausted body after wandering for a long time and going through multiple hardships.

This must be a cat with a story.

“This is the one that was secretly spying on us in the city yesterday,” said Alex.

The white cat jumped gently and landed on Alex’s hand this time. It meant that it wanted Alex to hug it.

Alex hesitated for a moment. He held it in front of his body while gently running his hand through its fur. The white cat closed its eyes comfortably with a face of enjoyment.

“This must be a female cat. A female cat demon!” said Luna depressingly.

However, the white cat let out a stern cry once again, frightening Alex.

Luna raised her hand. “Fine! You’re incredible and I won’t talk about you anymore, okay?”

She turned around and went to check on Jasmine.

After a moment, she shook her head and said, “I don’t think she’ll survive.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1626

Alex was shocked. He immediately went forward and checked on her while the white cat jumped to the ground obediently.

At first glance, his eyes turned solemn.

‘The wound is contaminated and the poison has gone into her body!’

Jasmine was not dead yet, and she was still conscious. She covered her wound with her hand while she was full of pain and very scared. After all, she was just a girl in her twenties. She was not as old as Alex, and she had not lived her life enough. “C-can I still be saved?”

Alex shook his head.

All of a sudden, Jasmine felt like the sky had fallen. Tears started streaming down her face. “Mr. Rockefeller, please do one thing for me. Please tell my master that I can’t serve her anymore.”

Alex shook his head and said, “Tell her yourself.”

“I…”

“You don’t need me to detoxify this poison of yours. You’ll be fine after a while! Besides, I have another piece of good news for you. Your parasitic disease will be cured by the way.”

“Huh?” Jasmine was dumbfounded. “W-what do you mean?”

Luna said, “To fight poison with poison, right?”

Alex nodded.

He was also inwardly amazed. This parasitic disease of his was not simple either. It’s called the Golden Cicada Parasite and it was considered as one of the best amongst all the parasitic diseases. Even Granny Blackwood’s heart ached until her eyelids were twitching when she gave the Golden Cicada Parasite to him.

Unexpectedly, the toxin attached to the skeleton king’s fingers had neutralized such a dominant parasitic disease. Having that thought in mind had made him interested in the skeleton king’s poison.

He immediately walked over to collect some of the skeleton king’s venom in case of emergencies.

However, the snow-white bone whip had caught his attention right away. That was quite a good magical treasure!

He grabbed it and casually whipped it, only to realize that its movement was not smooth.

His spiritual power did not match the bone whip, so he could not exert its due power.

“Luna, come over here and try out this white bone whip!” Alex called out to Luna.

This was the first time ever that Alex called out her name, and it even sounded like a command. This made her feel strange. The feeling was much stronger, exciting and stimulating as compared to Alex calling her a queen. It seemed very comfortable.

Though she grunted, she still walked over.

The white bone whip felt slightly cold in her hands, yet it was very heavy. It was a little difficult to purely control it with her arm strength. Luna had no choice but to use the Divine Demonic Method’s demonic Chi to control the white bone whip.

Buzz!

The white bone whip trembled and stood up fiercely. The demonic Chi on it rtunbled while moaning like ghosts cried and howling like spirits.

Smack!

As the whip hit the air, a loud burst rang out. Afterwards, she whipped it on a mountain wall.

Boom!

As a loud noise rang out, a huge groove was formed on the mountain wall.

Luna said in surprise, “This is a great white bone whip.”

Alex said, “It suits you very well. It’s yours now.”

However, Luna threw it on the ground instantly. “No way. Touching this thing assembled by the skeleton monsters for a while is already uncomfortable. I won’t keep it no matter how powerful it is! Besides, how am I supposed to hold such a huge thing?”

“Meow!”

When the cat meowed, Luna looked at it. It seemed that those eyes… Were disdainful.

The cat jumped over and reached out its paw to slap the white bone whip. Some kind of energy rushed into the white bone whip, causing the whip to make a crackling noise right away. The bones on it started to shrink until it became a white tiny string.

Alex said in surprise, “I can’t believe it can become like that Little kitty, you’re too incredible!”

When he picked up the string, he realized that its weight had reduced to the point that he could just wrap it around his wrist.

“Are you sure you don’t want it? I’ll bring it back to give it to someone else then,” asked Alex.

“Who are you giving it to?”

“I’ll go back and ask my wife if she likes it.”

“Who said that I don’twant it? Give it to me!”

‘Women are really fickle!’

The skeleton monster had died, and Alex went back to pluck a lot of Dragon Blood Vines. Unfortunately, there were no fruits on it. Otherwise, a Dragon Blood Fruit could be a good resource for cultivation.

After obtaining the Dragon Blood Vines, the main task of this secret realm was considered complete.

Jasmine suddenly said, “I don’t know if my master and the others would be in danger. I’ve never seen that kind of skeleton monster before.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1627

Luna said, “I don’t think they’d be. This skeleton king was probably eyeing on the Dragon Blood Vines, and that’s why it was guarding here! Didn’t people say that most precious herbs always have a mythical creature protecting it? This skeleton king is also considered as one kind of mythical creature.”

However, the cat meowed, expressing its disagreement.

Luna puckered up her lips. She really wanted to kill that white cat.

Even though she was much better after Alex had treated the wound on the back of her hand, women were beings that hold grudges. Especially a witch like her, there was no exception even if it was a cat.

However, this cat seemed to be a bit mystical. In addition, its background was unknown, so Luna dared not provoke it for the time being.

Alex took out a map and looked at it. He pointed toward the front. “There’s a large lake in front. Let’s go over and take a look first. The sky is getting dark, and we have to find a place to rest before the night falls.”

After that, he picked up the white cat. “Thank you for your help today. Do you have a family?”

“Meow!”

“Then you should be going home, right?”

“Meow, meow!”

“Goodbye to you then. Get going now!”

“Meow, meow!”

“What is it? You don’t want to go home but follow me?”

“Meow!”

Luna said, “This cat demon is quite humane. It can actually understand what you’re saying. It seems like it possesses a little bit of cultivation.”

Those words angered the white cat once again. It hissed at Luna.

Luna was not a simple woman as well. She could even compete with a cat. “What? You want to have a rebellion? I understand now, you’re just a female cat in heat and can’t even walk straight when you see a male. Then, let me tell you something. He’s my man. If you want to be his pet, you’re going to be mine too. Otherwise, you’ll stay here and don’t ever go with us.”

After hearing those words, the white cat unexpectedly kept quiet. It stuck out its tongue and licked Alex’s fingers.

“Look, you just have to get disciplined to be obedient.”

***

They walked all the way to the large lake.

They did not encounter any danger along the way, but Alex found several rare, old spiritual herbs. He hurriedly plucked them and put them into his storage purse.

When they reached the lakeside, they accidentally found a small wooden cabin. Judging from its exterior and style, it must have been constructed by the people of Hygieia Valley.

“Heh! We don’t have to camp outside tonight,” said Alex as he smiled.

The few of them rushed over to check out the cabin. To their surprise, the equipment inside was quite complete. Not only was there a bed and a table, but there was also a deck of poker cards. In the corner of the room, there was even a hand-cranked generator that was connected to several electric lights in the wooden cabin.

Soon, the night fell.

Moreover, the temperature dropped drastically. Compared to the inside of the city, the temperature in the wilderness at night was much lower. It was no wonder there were several large quilts in the temporary supply station of Hygieia Valley.

Alex and Luna could resist the cold. However, Jasmine’s cultivation base was weak, so she needed the large quilts to endure the cold.

The night was getting late.

The wind whistled outside, yet they could not hear any sounds of birds, animals, insects or fish.

This made Jasmine feel a little strange. “When I came to Spiritual Valley Dungeon previously, I often heard the roars of the wild beasts. I dared not sleep at the time, fearing the wild beasts would rush in. But this place is very strange, there’s no sound of the beasts at all.”

Alex said, “This is a bit strange. We have encountered several wild animals and many bugs during the day. Could it be that they’re all asleep? By the way, do you people feel that the temperature is getting colder?”

Jasmine, who was covered in thick quilts, said, “Yes. I’m freezing to death soon. How can it be so cold?”

The lying white cat next to Alex’s feet suddenly perked up its ears. After that, it abruptly jumped up, extremely alert.

“Meow!”

The white cat’s sudden action alarmed the three people.

Alex stood up as well and walked to the door of the cabin to listen carefully. His ear was stuck to the wooden door.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Alex’s ear was frozen on the door, fortunately Alex’s physique was stronger than an average person. Otherwise, the skin on his ear would be peeled off.

The temperature was dropping way too fast.

Furthermore…

“There’s Yin energy!”

Jasmine was already covered in two layers of quilts at this moment. Luna started to feel unbearable, so she kept rubbing her hands while standing beside the campfire.

This was not a normal cold.

It was the entering of the Yin energy into one’s body. Hence, even an expert like her would feel the unbearable, bone-piercing cold.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1628

Splash! Splash!

Alex could hear the sound of water.

The sound came from the lake. It seemed that the wind was blowing on the water surface, causing the sound of waves pounding against the shore, which seemed normal.

However, Alex noticed something abnormal as well. It was the cracking sound.

It sounded just like… The walking sound of the skeleton army that emerged out of the underground when he plucked the Dragon Blood Vine previously.

“Tum off the lights!”

The lights were turned off. The campfire was put out as well.

Luna and Jasmine both jumped up and seemed nervous as well. The room was covered in darkness, leaving only the white cat’s green eyes that shone like an emerald in the dark.

Alex pulled open the crack of the door, trying to identify the source of the sound. To his surprise, the door was violently pushed open.

Half of the wooden door opened up with a ‘click’ sound. It was instantly broken apart and pushed inward.

A black, still wet hand reached in.

That was what Alex saw through the light that leaked in through the broken door

“D*mn it!” Alex was very shocked.

That hand belonged to a skeleton without any flesh and blood. Unlike the previous skeleton king, its bones were black.

“Meow! ” the white cat cried sternly.

Alex instantly threw a punch at the skeleton’s arm. A tremor occurred with a boom. This black skeleton’s defense was not as great as the skeleton king, so its arm was broken apart right away.

Soon, Alex could see the owner of the black arm, it was a black skeleton. Behind this black skeleton were countless skeletons!

“My goodness!” Alex was dumbfounded by the sight outside.

Under the moonlight, it was a big area of black skeletons. They emerged from the water at the large lake row by row, just like the leaking petroleum.

‘How many of them were here?’

The room was not big. When Luna and Jasmine heard Alex’s exclamation and the fighting sound earlier, they hurriedly looked over there. As a result, they were terribly stunned by the scene outside as well.

Boom!

At this time, the wooden cabin was pushed apart.

Luna immediately released her demonic powers and blasted the falling wooden rooftop into pieces. However, the situation around the wooden cabin was clear at a glance.

All they saw was hundreds and thousands of black skeleton army surrounding them without a single way out.

“Ah!”

Jasmine screamed terrifyingly. She had never seen such a horrible scene. She thought that even if she did not die, she would have nightmares every day in the future.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

All the black skeletons moved and charged at them savagely.

Alex yelled, “Fight our way out and head back!”

Crack!

Boom!

More than a dozen Thunder Palm Mantra blasted the legion of skeletons. Fortunately, these black skeletons’ defense was not that good. In just a short while, a large swath of black skeletons fell down and did not get back up again.

It showed that these skeletons were different from the undead army previously. These could be killed.

Luna’s Sky-Devil Zither was not effective, so she rather took out the white bone whip. It extended with a swoosh until the bone spurs on it stood upright.

She lashed it out ruthlessly.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

After lashing the white bone whip, a large number of black skeletons died and were injured. Strangely, these black skeletons abandoned Alex and started charging at Luna with dauntless bravery.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1629

Alex was shocked at a glance.

The army of black skeletons that was attacking him madly earlier unexpectedly rushed towards Luna in unison. Furthermore, by the looks of them, red light emerged from their eyes, as if they had become incomparably berserk after being disturbed by some kind of energy.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Luna waved her long whip rapidly and sent the first wave of black skeletons flying. But soon, she was surrounded by the second and third waves of skeletons.

“Luna, throw the white bone whip over here!”

Alex immediately realized the root of the problem. He immediately stepped on the Seven Blades of Death and rushed over, pressing two fingers together.

Brahma’s Supreme Touch!

Boom! Boom!

Black skeletons were dark and evil beings that were afraid of thunder by nature, so the Thunder Palm Mantra was extremely lethal to them. But unexpectedly, the Brahma’s Supreme Touch that was negatively left for him by the Revealer was even more

lethal to these skeleton monsters.

A golden light burst with just a touch.

Large swaths of black skeletons were crushed to death.

Luna also noticed that the situation was not right. The long white bone whip was like a taunting device to the skeleton army. At once, it attracted the attack of a large number of skeletons, so she hurriedly threw the white bone whip to Alex in the air.

As expected, these black skeletons’ gazes were fixated on the whereabouts of the white bone whip, so they launched their attacks on Alex.

Luna and Jasmine, who was behind her, were out of danger.

Alex held the white bone whip in his hand while standing on the Seven Blades of Death. He felt funny seeing the black skeletons stupidly gathered below him but unable to reach him.

“Luna, you and Jasmine leave first and turn back. I’ll lead these guys elsewhere. I’ll join you people afterwards,” said Alex.

After taking a glance, Luna was relieved as well. She nodded and said, “Alright. We’ll wait for you at the place where we plucked the Dragon Blood Vines earlier.”

She was not a procrastinator, so she immediately retreated along with Jasmine.

Meanwhile, Alex, who had the white cat squatting on his shoulder, flung the white bone whip and maneuvered the Seven Blades of Death slowly toward the big lake.

As he was pondering one question, he mumbled, “Where did these skeletons come from?”

At this moment, ten or so black shadows sprang out in the direction of the big lake, those were ten or so black skeletons that were taller than average black skeletons. The more outrageous thing was, the skeletons looked like birds that grew a layer of flesh membrane underneath their armpit areas.

‘God! D*mn it!’ Alex was really dumbfounded. ‘What the hell are these things?’

At this moment, the white cat on his shoulder suddenly looked up to the sky and wailed, “Meow!”

A ball of red energy came out of the cat’s mouth. That sound burst out like thunder, It was even louder than Luna’s Sky-Devil Zither.

The shock had frozen the ten or so flying skeletons. The next second, the white cat sprang up and became ten times bigger in the blink of an eye. Like a fierce tiger, it extended its claws and fiercely swiped at the flying skeletons.

It was agile. It moved consecutively by relying on the power of the flying skeletons.

Every time it attacked, it could kill one flying skeleton. Within two breaths’ time, the ten or so flying skeletons died under its sharp claws.

‘Indeed, this is a cat demon!’

‘It’s strange. Why is this guy so close to me like I’m it’s relative?’

Alex was puzzled.

As for the female cat in heat that Luna said, it did not make any sense. Even if it wanted a male, it should look for a male cat and he was not a cat.

‘Could it be that I’m a reincarnated cat?’

He glanced strangely at the white cat that squatted on his shoulder again. It was back to its normal size and licking its paws.

“Do you have a name?”

“Meow!”

“What’s your name?”

“Meow, meow!”

“What does it mean? Fat eat?”

“Big cat?”

“I shall call you Old Whitey then. You seemed to be much older than me.”

“Meow, meow, meow!”

It seriously objected and almost clawed his face.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1630

However, the flying skeletons came back again. This time, it was not ten or so of them, but hundreds of them, densely packed like locusts scurrying out of the lake, charged at Alex fiercely.

‘Sh*t!’

Alex nearly fell off the Seven Blades of Death.

‘I’m going to put up a fight!’

“Old Whitey, just run if you’re afraid. I won’t be able to take care of you!”

Alex threw the long white bone whip to the ground, grabbed the Sword of the Universe and the Breaking Point with his left and right hands respectively. After letting out a roar, he engaged the flying skeletons.

“Die!”

The two extended Dragon Bone Swords were ten meters long. Every where he went, there were broken limbs and broken arms.

Alex killed furiously and bloodily while activating the Mystic Armor to full capacity. The two swords were like meat grinders, no, they were the invincible bone crushers.

But… Old Whitey did not flee.

Instead, it grew bigger again, even ten times larger than before.

Alex had become very petite in front of it. What made Alex more stunned was the fact that the cat demon took out a set of red armor out of nowhere, as if it was tailor-made for it.

After putting it on, it was very formidable!

It jumped directly to the ground and wildly killed the army of skeletons.

Alex felt hot-blooded just by watching it.

Therefore, he jumped down as well and abandoned his Dragon Bone Swords. He used the Brahma’s Supreme Touch and the Dragon-Tusk Punch to fight hand-in-hand and killed the skeletons savagely.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Alex did not notice that as he and Old Whitey killed more skeletons, the surrounding Yin energy was getting denser as it came out of the skeletons’ corpses. However, the Chaos Bead was absorbing this Yin energy quickly.

Luna, who promised to bring Jasmine to wait for Alex at the location of the Dragon Blood Vine, began to rush back when she heard Old Whitey’s roar.

Jasmine did not follow her as she would only become a burden to them.

Luna was worried that Alex might be in danger.

However, when she finally reached the place, she was dumbfounded. ‘That’s the white cat?’

“Woo..!”

Suddenly, an eerie hissing sound rang out. The sound came from the far end of the large lake. Soon, the red-eyed legion of skeletons immediately retreated like a tide. Except for the corpses all over the ground, the rest rushed into the lake and disappeared.

“Meow!” Old Whitey rushed to the lake and howled toward the sky. The sound was earth-shattering, furious yet sad.

Luna pulled Alex and whispered, “That is the small female cat?”

“Shh…”

Alex covered her mouth.

Old Whitey was very strong. Anyway, Alex felt that he was no match for it… It was quite embarrassing to say that the dignified inheritor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine could not fight against a cat.

However, that was also the truth.

Luna stuck out her tongue and licked Alex’s palm. Her turning eyeballs were seducing him.

As Alex felt an impulse in his mind, he cupped her face and kissed her on her lips. He quickly dominated her teeth and frantically claimed his reward.

Bloody battles and pretty ladies had always been men’s honor.

A man needed a woman’s gentleness and femininity to soothe and fill the hostility after a bloody battle. Even he needed to let off some steam and used up the excessive power.

At first, Alex just wanted to kiss her for a while, but Luna took the initiative and pinned Alex on the battlefield covered with bones.

Alex instantly felt the woman’s surge of emotions, so he stared at her face, “Are you crazy?”

Luna said, “There is a saying that men conquer the world with power, and women capture the world by conquering men.”

“How are you going to conquer me?”

“With love!”

“I can’t sense your love for me at all.”

“I’m using a verb.”

“…”

Sure enough, she was a witch!
