Ch. 2511..2520
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2511
Mystic Maiden carried Alex into a small cave. The first thing he saw was the skeleton of a pig, curled up in the corner and not moving an inch.
‘Ah, that’s probably Pigsy.’
Pigsy crawled to its feet, huffing as it watched Alex getting thrown to the ground. “I knew life is never fair. Good people seem to always die early, and the bad continue living a perfectly good life. A scammer like you couldn’t possibly just die like that.”
Alex laid on the ground, his position unpleasant to the eye. More importantly, he couldn’t stand back up. He decided to not move and said, “You damn pig, do you not know who I am? It’s been two whole years, for god’s sake. Of course, you can’t compete with me.”
Pigsy could tell that something was wrong with him and understood what was happening at the time. It approached Alex with sly intentions, stomping on his skull.
“Hahaha! And you still dare to lie like that?!”
“If you can, fight back!”
“Stand up and punch me!”
“If you can’t, then all you can do is wait to get stomped! Haha! Die under my trotters, you weakling!”
Alex could feel a stinging pain within his skull after Pigsy stepped on him. More importantly, he was extremely furious that he was being bullied by a mere pig.
“Miss Maiden, are there any tips on controlling our bodies?”
“Of course, there are. Wrap your soul power around your bones, so your soul acts as your flesh, moving all your bones.”
The green skeleton sat down on a stool in the cave. She wasn’t in a hurry, watching as Pigsy continued to abuse Alex, not intending on helping. Alex immediately tried it out
Pigsy didn’t stop, yelling arrogantly. “Oh little minion, you’re not calling her your master, but ‘miss’? Who gave you the courage? I’ll just keep trampling your face then! Over here, I’m the boss!”
“Huhu… Do you really think you can beat me after you get some tips? Impossible! We’ve been researching this method for half a year. And it requires at least a year to master! And it depends on potential too… Besides, look here. Do you see what this is?”
It lifted its hind leg, and what seemed like tens of light golden bone patterns were two of its bones.
Alex ignored it and focused on wrapping his soul power around his bones.
It was quite difficult. When he learned soul spells, he used all his might to concentrate his soul power. The more he did that, the more powerful he got.
Yet, he had to separate his soul power now. It was a massive undertaking, let alone solidifying soul power. Mystic Maiden spoke up. “Soul power is normally quite condensed. So separating it would cause the strength of your soul power to reduce. This is also considered a challenge for your soul.”
“But the bone patterns can be used as the bridge to connect your bones and soul power. The more bone patterns you have, the higher your class. And you’d get better soul power to control your bones. And of course, your bones would be of a higher class too.”
‘That’s how it works?’
Alex stared at the bone patterns on Pigsy’s leg, and he started to feel envious of them. Suddenly, he felt a curious energy exploding within his bones. Patterns that weren’t visible to others started appearing too.
A while later, this feeling was becoming clearer and clearer. There were bone patterns on his bones too.
However, they differed from the ones on Pigsy and the Mystic Maiden. His bone patterns were… Twelve mysterious talismans within the Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes, carved onto his bone marrow.
Just then, the talismans on his bones flowed about. He could sense that he had succeeded.
As Pigsy was having fun, it didn’t seem satisfied with merely stomping on the head. It even wanted to stomp on Alex’s stomach.
Suddenly, Alex reached out and grabbed its trotters, then leaped from the ground. He then kicked Pigsy up into the air, smashing it onto the ceiling of the cave.
“Argh!” Pigsy screamed in disbelief.
However, Alex had already lunged towards it, punching and kicking it over and over again.
This time, even Mystic Maiden was shocked. ‘That wasn’t supposed to happen!’
‘Could this kid really be that gifted? He perfected this skill within such a short amount of time?’
‘But he doesn’t have any bone patterns. How did he do that?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2512
Mystic Maiden was shocked because she needed three months to be able to perfect this skill. It was mainly due to her soul being abnormally stronger than most.
‘How could he do that?’
‘Could his soul be stronger than mine?’
Since she was currently a green skeleton, there weren’t any muscles on her face. Hence, no one knew what her expressions were. In reality, the fact that her soul was below her own servant’s embarrassed Mystic Maiden.
“Arghhhh!”
“Boss, please boss! Stop hitting me! My bones are breaking! I’m a casualty…” Pigsy oinked in pain, unable to bear it any longer.
Alex‘s attacks were heavy, letting out a loud thud every time he hit the bone. It was absolutely unbearable. In the end, Alex was satisfied. The frustration from being stomped on had finally faded.
Mystic Maiden asked, “You were able to connect your soul to your bones. How did you do that?”
Alex brushed it off. “Hey, is it really that hard? Isn’t this just basic instinct? It’s like… The need to drink and pee?”
Mystic Maiden was speechless.
‘I can’t even start a normal conversation with him now. He made it sound like we‘re idiots.’
“Where’s my wife?” Alex demanded.
He didn’t see anyone else in this cave, apart from Pigsy.
Pigsy replied, “Hunting. We haven’t had a good meal in days. If this keeps up, we might starve to death.”
Alex’s mouth dropped open, staring at his empty stomach within its skeleton.
“Are you for real?”
“Just look at you, you don’t even have a stomach. How can you eat?”
Pigsy grumbled. “Don’t eat when they come back with today’s harvest then.”
Alex looked towards Mystic Maiden, hoping to get some answers.
“Being here depletes your soul power every second,” she replied. “It’s different from the outside world. We had to use blood and flesh to feed our soul back then, but everything we do here, even just surviving, requires soul power!”
“So we need some things to replenish our soul powers. All the bone demons outside, and those spiritual herbs with mysterious energy, are the source of that.”
Alex nodded. He had used quite some soul power to beat up Pigsy too. He did, in fact, feel kind of hungry. However, it wasn’t his stomach but his soul.
Yet he still preferred to stay optimistic. “It’s not a bad thing. It’s like a type of training for our souls; just a little weirder is all. If we manage to get out of here alive, our powers would definitely increase.”
Pigsy huffed. “How optimistic. What if we don’t have a way of escape? And even if we do, we’re just bones. People might think we’re monsters.”
‘Uhm…’
Alex rubbed his temples with his fingers as the thought hit him. He was getting a headache.
An hour or two later, Alex felt his anxiousness rising. Just then, noises came from outside of the cave. It seemed someone was here. The people turned out to be Daya, Ynes, Shirley, and Channing, the ones who had gone out to hunt.
As expected, the four of them were here too. Seeing another skeleton in the cave, the four were first shocked before realizing that it was Alex.
“Darling?!” Daya yelled.
Alex smiled and nodded. “It is me!”
She immediately rushed over to give him a big hug. It was a rather intriguing sensation.
Since they were both skeletons, crackling sounds came from their bones colliding with each other. It didn’t feel as nice as when they were normally hugging. Instead, it felt like the time the two were synchronizing during the concert. This was because their soul power was wrapped around their bones, equivalent to their souls coming in direct contact.
“I thought I’d never see you again,” Daya cried with emotion, her soul power wavering.
“I didn’t expect to be two years late either. It must’ve been hard on you.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2513
Shirley watched as the two fawned over each other, seemingly unhappy. “You’re such a drag, Rockefeller. I said we shouldn’t meet in our next lives, yet here you are! Come over, let’s spar!”
Alex looked at Shirley. Standing nearly six feet, she had a naturally large bone structure and had rather long legs. This made her a good foot taller than Alex.
“Are you sure?” Alex asked.
“Of course!” Shirley said with confidence, rubbing her palms and cracking her knuckles.
Daya whispered in Alex’s ears. “Darling, you just arrived. You probably haven’t learned the skills to control your body, so don’t spar with her! Shirley experienced an odd incident once, so she’s the strongest among us now.”
“What? This lady here is the strongest now?”
Daya told him that Shirley once went out once and was attacked by a high-class bone demon. She managed to survive and brought one of the bones back. On it was high-class bone patterns. Hence, she absorbed two of them and became quite strong.
Alex froze and looked at Shirley. He then realized two golden bone patterns on her chest, clearly of higher class and more mystical than the rest.
More importantly, the patterns were in somewhat awkward positions, they were both on the nipples.
Shirley felt nothing, but Alex felt awkward for her.
Shirley taunted him. “Aren’t you pretty strong, Rockefeller? You destroyed Homan Technology, tied me to a bed… You didn’t even let me go to the toilet! Don’t hide behind your woman, just come spar with me!”
Pigsy pondered, not daring to say anything. He was afraid of being beaten up by Alex again.
“Miss Hancock, you really seem to hold huge grudges on me!” Alex said, “If you want to beat me up and release your anger, it’s fine by me. But I’m just saying, if I defeat you instead, don’t cry.”
“Cry? You’re the one who’s going to cry!”
After that, Shirley made her move. Both golden patterns on her chest moved as she came bumping straight into him. She had actually pumped up her chest, using it as an attack.
Alex froze and dodged. “What are you doing? Are you trying to give me yourself? Be a little more modest, lady. You don’t even have your assets anymore, yet you’re still trying to seduce me, a married man no less?”
Shirley was annoyed to hear this. This was because those two were very extraordinary patterns on her chest. Thus, her chest attacks were the strongest, and her attacks were now mainly chest bumps.
Whenever she had to fight out there, she would just ram her way through. Despite all that, Alex treated the attack as though she was giving herself to him.
She figured that this was fine. Since Alex had just arrived, controlling his body was impressive enough, so she thought he couldn’t battle at all. She decided not to use the chest bump again and would just use normal attacks this time.
Shirley grabbed Alex by the shoulder and tried to flip him over her.
In the end, the flip was a success, but Alex wasn’t the one who got flipped, she had flipped herself instead. On the other hand, Alex swiftly turned around and sat on her stomach, grabbing her by the neck and pinning her down by her sternum. She wasn’t able to move because of this.
“You… How is this possible?” Shirley couldn’t accept this.
‘How could this newbie defeat me this easily?’
Alex touched the golden bone patterns on Shirley’s chest with his fingertips. He tried to sense it as much as he could, realizing that a divine and excellent energy was flowing within.
Moreover, there seemed to be a subtle, unique Chi as well, which was closely tied to her soul.
‘What is this bone pattern?’
Shirley couldn’t stand Alex any longer. She felt her soul quivering as though this certain part of her body was being touched. However, compared to a regular touch, this was a clearer and sharper sensation.
She stammered, letting out an embarrassing whimper.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2514
As for why Shirley reacted as such, such contact would directly reach the soul, after all. It had skipped the entire process of the contact of skin, sending neural signals straight to the brain.
After hearing Shirley whimpering like a kitten, he immediately understood what was happening.
With this, Alex jumped away from Shirley, feeling slightly awkward. No one could tell, though, from his face being a mere skeleton.
He even acted casual about it. “As I said, don’t cry.”
As a dense person… No, as a self-identifying dense pig, Pigsy decided to speak up. “Boss, you didn’t make her cry. I’m a witness. You just touched her. You obviously made her moan.”
Alex felt even more awkward now. He rushed up to Pigsy and smacked it again. “Witness? I think you’re talking way too much…”
Shirley was so embarrassed that she wished she could bury herself in a hole. Moreover, she simply couldn’t accept how Alex could beat her. She had been daydreaming about how she could take revenge on Alex once he came to this world. He should be pretty weak as a newbie, after all. Although she wouldn’t be powerful enough to kill him, it’d still be nice to have a punching bag every single day, and she’d get to boss him around…
To achieve this, she worked hard to improve herself. Yet, reality would prove cruel-she was still beneath him.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Daya approached Shirley and brought her back up to her feet.
They had experienced life and death together, so they were quite close at this point. Naturally, such a minor incident wouldn’t stale their relationship. Shirley had expressed countless times that she wanted to punch Alex.
As the group cared for each other, Alex noticed their harvest for today…
A mouse!
All but a grey bones, the mouse didn’t have any flesh either. Normally, they should’ve been able to hunt down a tiger or panther in this place with such a big group.
Surprisingly, the catch wasn’t anything big at all. The mouse was just slightly larger than a normal cat.
Alex narrowed his eyes. “You guys went out to hunt for food, right? But is this what you all call food? It’s not even enough to be a toothpick!”
Shirley didn’t like hearing this. “You’re just a newbie. If you don’t know anything, then don’t be so quick to give an opinion. Do you think it’s easy to catch a mouse? It’s a bone demon, get it? It’s not your ordinary rat.”
Daya explained the dangers this place held. The food chain within bone demons was rather serious. Since everyone had to survive, most smaller bone demons couldn’t live long, having been eaten by other bone demons at this point.
They weren’t exactly powerful enough, so all they could capture were the smaller beings. If they were to encounter any big guys, all they could do was run.
Moreover, Pigsy had been injured by a flea. That flea was extremely fast, and it had lots of sharp teeth within its large mouth. It had almost chomped off Pigsy’s head, but Shirley managed to injure it with the patterns on her chest, scaring it away.
Hearing such information, Alex was upset and sad for them.
‘They have been living such difficult days in this place. Even a mere flea was enough to threaten their lives. It’s honestly a miracle that all of them made it through two whole years.’
Ynes said, “We’ve been relying on Shirley for the past two years. It would’ve been very difficult to have survived till now. It really is that hard on us.”
Alex looked toward Mystic Maiden.
She seemed to have understood what he was thinking of and spoke to him telepathically, “Don’t look at me, my bones aren’t actual bones. They’re made from the Chaos leaves, so it was already difficult enough not to dissipate. My powers really aren’t all that strong.”
She then told Alex that she had made the right choice to come here. Since her skeleton wasn’t made of actual bones, it had a lot of flaws.
However, she found hope here, as she had the ability to fix the flaws in her bones. She could even possibly make a perfect skeleton for herself, which would mean she’d be able to be reborn in a new body of her own.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2515
In just a few moments, everyone had come together to distribute the bones of the mouse.
Alex noticed faint bone patterns on the mouse bone demon as well. They weren’t golden but a whitish-grey instead. He could tell that the power within these bone patterns was far less potent than the ones on Shirley, let alone any of the bone patterns of those two gigantic bone demons he encountered.
Daya handed Alex a bone, which consisted of five bone patterns. It was considered one of the bones that had more patterns than the others. The patterns seemed to be made out of a rare type of language.
“Try eating it. See if these bone patterns show up on your bones. Usually, one out of five will.”
“How? Do I chew on it?” Alex was appalled.
“Use your soul power to absorb it.” Daya told Alex that one couldn’t absorb bone patterns of demons that were still alive.
On the contrary, patterns could be absorbed once the soul of the being had been destroyed or if they had been drained of their soul powers.
Whitish grey bone patterns were considered one of the lower classes.
Alex didn’t have any bone patterns on him as of now, and he was able to manifest them onto his bones after absorbing some. Since the others had higher-class bone patterns on them, they wouldn’t be manifesting those anymore.
However, they could use these low- grade bone patterns as nutrients for their current patterns, food to replenish their soul power.
‘This really is a weird world.’
Alex had no choice but to absorb the bone patterns in front of everyone. They stared at him, waiting eagerly for some result. In mere moments, he felt the energy within the mouse’s bone patterns getting absorbed entirely by the Forbidden Spell patterns hidden within his bones. Nonetheless, no bone patterns were manifested onto his bones.
Several minutes later, bone patterns still hadn’t manifested themselves on Alex’s body.
Everyone was disappointed, but Daya brought another bone and comforted him. “It’s alright. Manifestation works by chance too. If one doesn’t work, let’s just try another. It’d work sooner or later.”
Alex absorbed yet another bone, this one with four bone patterns on it. Yet, his body manifested none. It still looked the same.
On his third bone, everyone stayed silent as they realized there was still no bone pattern that manifested on Alex’s skeleton.
He had just absorbed the ones with the most bone patterns on this mouse skeleton. Thus, they couldn’t afford to give him anymore. The rest needed to replenish their soul powers too, or they wouldn’t have enough to go hunting the next time.
“Boss, your bones are useless. You couldn’t even leave one pattern on your body,” Pigsy said.
Alex huffed coldly. “These bone patterns are too weak for me.”
He stood up and moved to the side, sitting down on the ground with his legs crossed. The three bones that he absorbed had twelve bone patterns in total. Although he didn’t manifest any on his body, he clearly felt that the forbidden spell within him liked this power.
It seemed to desire such power, quivering within his bones, as if telling him that it wanted more.
More!
‘God damn it! Can’t you take a break?’
‘Where are we even going to find that many bone patterns for you to eat?’
‘I’ve already wasted so much. Do you know that?’
Alex immediately thought of suppressing the Forbidden Spell talisman within him.
‘This is way too weird… It’s like a child! A child who has never had candy but can’t stop asking for more once it tasted it!’
Just then, he felt something quiver within his conscience. The talismans rushed into his mind, starting to show him a small void filled with various colorful spots. Some were dispersed while the others gathered together. They were even mobile.
Alex tried to check thoroughly. ‘Isn’t this just some 3D map?!’
‘And those little spots… Could they be bone patterns? Have they been distributed in such a way?’
Alex felt his mind turn foggy. ‘The ancient talismans of the Forbidden Spell are starting to act up, asking for more bone patterns!’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2516
Alex made a careful observation.
Finding his position on the 3D map, he also spotted several small dots beside him. These dots were understood to represent Daya, Shirley, and others. In addition to these people, Alex found a few small white dots not very far away.
He was ready to go out and verify it.
“Old pig, follow me out for a spin!”
Alex called Pigsy and found that it was holding and squinting at a bone not much bigger than a chicken bone, enjoying what it was seeing. With that lewd look, those who didn’t know thought it must be high on something!
Pigsy smiled and looked up, “Where are we going?”
“Why do you talk so much nonsense? Just follow me,” Alex replied.
“You’re not going to screw me again, are you?”
“Don’t regret that you didn’t come then.”
Daya said, “Husband, you just came here. You are unfamiliar with the place. Watch your step for it is easy to encounter danger. When you get out of the cave, it is best to go in groups as you can take care of each other.”
Alex grinned, “I just… Want to pee.”
The people glanced at him weirdly.
‘Your parts are no longer here. How do you pee?’ Daya thought he might be in a bad mood because he couldn’t absorb the manifesting bone patterns, so she stood up. “I’ll go with you.”
Shirley grunted. “I think the peeing is fake, but thinking about women is real.”
Alex did not take it to heart.
It was said that it was all thanks to this long-legged girl that in these two years, Daya was safe. He carried an outstanding attitude-pulling Daya out of the cave, he immediately checked the sea map. There was indeed a real-time update. He wasn’t at the same location as Shirley and others.
After Daya came out, she attempted to comfort Alex with a few words.
Alex, however, asked directly, “Is the height of the bone pattern distinguished by color?”
Daya nodded, “Normally, it seems to be the case. Within all the bone demons we have seen, white bone markings are the weakest, followed by grey. We can at most deal with grey bone markings for now. In addition, it seems that bone markings can evolve and can even be derived.”
Alex nodded.
He now had a general idea of what it was.
“Let’s go catch some bone demons now and try. We didn’t get enough just now!” Alex said.
“Ah…?” Daya froze for a moment. ”That won’t be easy, just the two of us would be a bit difficult. It is best to call Shirley. We will wait till tomorrow and go hunting for the right bone demons together. Looking for them will be quite time consuming, and if you are not careful and face the high-level ones, you will be finished.”
Alex said, “Don’t worry. Just catch the white bone patterns first. They’re easier to deal with.”
”Uhm, this…”
Daya still wanted to say something but was directly pulled by Alex, and they ran away.
Soon, he pointed ahead three hundred meters away, “Right there, the white bone pattern is in the tree hole.“
Daya was amazed. “The divine consciousness cannot be used here. How do you know it’s a white bone pattern?”
Alex smiled. “This is a talent. How could I have defeated Shirley, otherwise? I’ll go over first, you break off the back here.”
“Wait, I’ll make some traps first.”
Daya made traps using the Saintly Luna Branch. She constructed hidden fetters on the ground, which looked just like a snare while telling Alex to stop being so bold and mess around. Even if it was a white bone patterned bone demon, it was still dangerous. If the bone pattern was dense, the spiritual power it contained would be very powerful. It could even be stronger than Alex.
Alex nodded, and waited for Daya to make a good trap, and walked over silently. Heat flowed within his eyes.
In Atlantis, the woman in red gave Alex half of the sword heart. Although he had no eyeballs now, it seemed that the ability to open the divine eye still existed. He stared at the large, red-bodied tree trunk that gradually became transparent. He could vaguely see three weasels as large as dogs among the holes of the tree… It was indeed the bone demons with white bone patterns.
“I’m not so cruel as to eat you. I’m here to overtake you.”
“How sad it is to live without flesh and blood, isn’t it?”
Alex did not take a weapon from the mind palace but went forward with his empty hands.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2518
The Spider Bone Demon, with a body as big as a round table, spread its eight legs and grew even more gigantic. Each leg was as sharp as a scythe.
Poof!
The white spider silk it spewed was almost like a high-pressure fire-extinguishing water gun. Daya initially intended to take the opportunity to kill the spider after imprisoning it. Still, the trap was instantly breached, and a large ball of spider silk spewed in, instantly hitting her body and trapping her on the ground.
“Oh no!”
Seeing the big spider swinging its big front legs like a death scythe chomping downward, Daya’s soul power vibrated, and at the last moment, she only had time to let out a spiritual roar. The surging soul power washer greatest advantage. However, the bone demons of this world had their own expertise.
In this fight against soul attacks, they had their own characteristics as well.
The spider bone demon also wailed against the attack, its big claws not slowing down the slightest.
At the critical moment, a ray of light chopped down. The spider bone demon’s body split into two.
The spider foot that fell towards Daya narrowly nailed her legs. If it were a few centimeters further in, it would have chopped through her stomach.
Alex carried the Xavion Sword and slashed the spider bone demon one more time. Then he hurried to save Daya from the spider web. The spider web was extremely sticky, so Alex used lightning fire to get rid of them. Fortunately, the silk was not poisonous, and Daya was only a little shocked.
“I didn’t expect that this Spider Bone Demon’s battle power was so strong!” Daya’s heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
Alex hugged her and patted her back.
It was not that his 3D map had made a mistake, but the bone patterns on this Spider Bone Demon’s body were dense and numerous. Its strength far exceeded that of the previous weasel. The gray-striped one was so strong. How powerful was the golden striped one then?
Alex remembered that before this, he and the Mystic Maiden saw the giant golden bird. That couldn’t be the supreme existence of this world, right?
Daya picked up the pieces. “We just made a rather loud commotion. Let’s hurry back to the cave!”
Alex nodded his head and subconsciously looked at the map in the sea of consciousness.
As a result, he found a bright green spot that was approaching rapidly. The gray one was already so difficult They might just not be able to deal with this green one!
“Run!”
Alex pulled Daya and began to flee frantically.
“What’s wrong? The bone pattern hasn’t been picked up yet?”
“It’s too late!”
Alex was fast. But unexpectedly, the guy with the green bone pattern was even faster…
The two felt a huge object rushing overhead, running through the tall tree canopy in the blink of an eye. Upon closer inspection, it was still a spider, dark green in color, with a body as massive as a house. A red light emerged from its eyes. Seeing the small spider bone demon that was split in half on the ground, it immediately wailed, rushing towards Alex and Daya like green lightning.
“Holy shit, this spider has a human face!”
Alex looked clearly at the front of the large spider. He could not help but feel scared.
It was fleshless, similar to the previous spider, but its head was no different from a human skeleton. It was also particularly huge. If one dreamt of such a monster at night, one would surely pee.
“Run!”
Alex felt the killing intent emanating from the large spider. His body jolted.
This terrifying feeling could even be compared to the Peacock tribe’s sacred nun that he once faced, which was the Golden Immortal. While here, the big spider was just an existence with green bone patterns. This place was not in the universe. The rules were not lacking but were complete.
Boom… Boom… Boom..!
Alex and Daya saw the big spider chasing after them. Everywhere they passed, giant trees exploded, and rocks cracked. The mountain peaks they rushed past were split.
Daya’s body bone pattern was at best gray. The patterns were limited in number, so she could not run as fast as the spider.
Alex hurriedly picked her up with one hand and teleported.
***
In the mountain cave, Shirley, Mystic Maiden and the others all heard the loud wail from the big spider since they weren’t too far away, and the sound was deafening.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2517
At a distance of fifty meters, he saw that the weasels in the tree cave had alerted and noticed his approach. Immediately, one of them rushed out. A weasel covered with white bones, like a white lightning bolt, instantly made impact on Alex’s body.
Dang!
The weasel, the size of a dog, was knocked away by Alex with a punch. The other two also rushed out.
Daya, who was three hundred meters away, was still a bit skeptical about Alex’s judgment. Now that she had seen three white weasel bone demons rushing out, they indeed had white bone patterns. She did not expect them to be near the cave they landed.
If they went on a hunt and came back injured one day, it was conceivable that these three weasels would definitely strike at them.
She also rushed over, horrified to find that a weasel had actually opened its mouth around Alex’s arm and bit it. On those sharp teeth were actually bone patterns as well.
“Be careful, don‘t get bitten!” Daya shouted.
However, the warning came a step too late.
Several weasel bone demons were very fast, and they worked with each other to attack at speed. At the same time, there was a soul attack too. Bone demons with bone patterns on their teeth had a powerful bite force. They could bite off metal easily and eat them like sugarcane.
Daya was a little afraid to look at it.
Ka-chunk!
A soft sound could be heard.
Daya thought the bone on Alex’s arm had been bitten off. So, she grabbed the Saintly Luna Branch and attacked frantically, only to find something wrong. The biting weasel let out a miserable scream. Alex’s arm was fine, instead, the weasel’s teeth chipped off.
“No way! Are his bones that hard?”
Daya was dumbfounded.
Alex immediately knew in his heart that he was now considered a bone demon too. The bone pattern in his bones was the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell which did not appear outside, plus the Old Cow‘s Breathing Technique had become a success. All the bones in his body went through a quenching, which was why he became a teenager with hard bones.
“Kill!”
Alex exploded with a Buddha Dragon-Tusk Punch.
It only took one punch to kill that weasel instantly. Immediately after that, he was like lightning, chasing after another one, slapping it till it fainted, its bones almost falling apart. Daya was also considered experienced in battles, so she helped Alex by killing it.
The last weasel that headed into the trap was strangled by vines burst.
“The white bone pattern ones seem to be a bit weaker.”
“Let’s go find a stronger one.”
Alex directly devoured the white bone pattern of a weasel, and his body, unsurprisingly, appeared to have no bone patterns. They had all been swallowed by the Ten- Point Forbidden Spell while also replenishing his soul power.
He had the feeling that his soul power was increasing.
‘What a good thing!’
‘The lowest level white bone pattern can make my soul power grow. If I ate one with a golden bone pattern, won’t I be able to kill Gods?’
Daya was a bit dreamy after watching the simple killing of three white bone pattern demons.
The most crucial thing was that Alex could actually sense the exact location beforehand.
If this were the case, it would definitely have a miraculous effect by setting up in advance.
The two of them combined, and Alex led her towards the subsequent siege. This time, it was a gray bone pattern bone demon. This giant spider was hiding in a crypt.
Daya used the Saintly Luna Branch to set up a trap directly at the entrance of the cave.
Then, Alex threw a lightning fire towards the inside of the cave.
The spider bone demon quickly rushed out from the cave with a roar and crashed headfirst into Daya’s trap. But, they did not expect that the spider with gray bone patterns would be more than twice as strong as the white patterned weasels. It cut through the trap and spewed a white strand of spider silk at Daya.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2519
The crowd felt a throbbing in their souls.
“Is this sound from the big spider from the nest up north?”
“Why did it come this way?”
“Crap, it can‘t be Alex, this big pitiful guy, who went to provoke the spider’s nest, right? He’s looking for death!”
“I‘ll go out and take a look,” Mystic Maiden said.
“I’ll go with you,” Shirley chipped in.
The Mystic Maiden shook her head. “My body is special. I can blend into this environment. Once I cover my breath, I’ll have no problem protecting myself.”
Previously, Mystic Maiden had saved Alex and brought him back to the cave by relying on this talent of hers. Otherwise, she would have been discovered by those super strong bone demons.
Mystic Maiden moved swiftly.
Before this, when she carried Alex back, she was well.
Now she was directly integrated into the extensive green woods, flying among the trees. With that kind of silence, even if bone demons were present next to her, it would be difficult to catch her at once.
Soon, she found the small spider figure that was split in half.
She even found traces of the Xavion sword. It could be determined that it was undoubtedly Alex who had decapitated the spider.
“This kid is really uncontrollable!”
“He just came and made such a big commotion.”
Mystic Maiden was speechless. She recognized the direction and hurriedly chased after him.
Swish, swish, swish..!
Alex constantly teleported, but unfortunately, the rules between heaven and earth were bizarre, or rather, it was because of the thick rules that his teleportation was not as sharp as expected. Usually, he could teleport for a few dozen miles, but here, he could teleport a mile at most.
He had also consumed a lot of energy. For the same amount of distance, the large spider could arrive in an instant dash.
So, a straight line of escape was better than running. Teleportation should be used when changing direction, but for some reason, no matter how Alex tried to escape, he found himself unable to escape the large spider’s pursuit.
Daya also found the problem, “The smell of that little spider must have gotten on us just now. Let’s go to the water.”
Alex nodded and teleported straight in the direction of a large river.
“Wow!”
The two dived headfirst into a large river. The river’s currents were turbulent and instantly carried the two forward.
Unexpectedly, the human-faced spider followed closely into the water to chase after them. This fella was equally agile in the water, roaring and rampaging at the bottom of the river, messing up the riverbed, causing its vision to be blurred.
At this time, from the depths of the river came a roar. It seemed to have alerted some big guy.
It was right in front of Alex and the others.
“No, right? Why is it so miserable? Did I steal God’s own sister-in-law or son?”
There was an unknown monster in front of them, a big spider in the back, and this teleportation in the water was even more seriously disturbed.
Swish…
Meanwhile, Mystic Maiden had arrived.
Faster than a hair’s breadth, she instantly pulled Alex and said, “Follow me!”
“Ah, Mystic Maiden?”
“Don’t say anything!”
Mystic Maiden opened the boundary and wrapped the three people together. She covered everyone’s breath, slowly shrinking in the corner of the riverbed. Alex was surprised to find that the big spider, in hot pursuit, seemed to have lost its target, spinning in place, looking, venting.
This was absolutely the ability of the Mystic Maiden!
At the same time, a monster rushed from the front.
A… Fish!
It was also green striped and huge. It was no smaller than the big spider. Looking at its appearance, it was very much like the catfish commonly sold in the market. The two monsters were instantly against each other.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2520
Under the river, the water raged, silt tumbled, and more hard rocks bounced.
Waves reached the skies, its momentum sweeping dozens of miles.
Mystic Maiden covered Alex and Daya as they quietly retreated. They shrank in a dark slot at the bottom of the river and witnessed this battle between the green bone pattern demons. Both the human-faced spider and the giant catfish were incomparably fierce.
One had its heir killed, while the other had its territory violated. Both were equal in strength, and the fight was intense.
Alex felt that the scene where the giant golden bird had killed the dinosaur fossil in seconds was far weaker compared to the two in front of him now. The dinosaur fossil was killed in seconds, so it was not exciting at all.
This spider and catfish fight employed all kinds of tricks, from the river to the land and into the river. It lasted for a full hour before it was all over.
The catfish bone demon was slightly better off as it hit off the head of the human-faced spider.
However, it was also seriously injured, suffering dozens of broken bones, and the green stripes on its body faded.
It was incomparably angry, dragging the corpse of the spider and roaring. It planned to drag the bones of the spider back to its own territory, to enjoy it inside and devour the bone patterns.
Alex’s gaze flickered, “This is a wonderful opportunity… Are you guys not moved?”
Mystic Maiden shouted, “Kill!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Alex rushed out. He teleported. Again, he teleported…
He teleported thrice, silently to the catfish bone demon’s back, and slashed its neck with his sword.
Clang!
Sparks splashed everywhere.
The catfish’s neck was quite hard. Surprisingly, the cut was just a few dozen centimeters deep. The catfish’s neck, on the other hand, was more than ten meters in diameter.
The neck was crazily hard.
In great pain, the catfish roared, its mouth letting go of the human-faced spider, and turned back to bite Alex.
”Die!”
Alex yelled, and his Xavion sword reversed, slashing horizontally to block the incoming attack.
Clang!!!
Another metallic sound vibrated.
On the bones of the catfish’s mouth, there were green bone patterns flickering. Although its mouth was cut out by the Xavion sword, the bones in Alex’s hand were cracked and hurting severely. Unable to hold the Xavion sword, it flew away.
The catfish’s bone spines viciously hurtled toward Alex’s direction.
At the critical moment, Daya‘s Saintly Luna Branch turned into a long whip wrapping itself around Alex’s waist, fiercely pulling him out of the attack point of the spines. The Mystic Maiden did not stay idle as well. Despite being unable to fight close combat due to her bone quality, she was extremely talented. She rushed up to pull Alex, and instantly hid away.
The catfish lost Alex as a target, and was suddenly intimidated. It transferred its hatred to Daya.
Like a bolt of black lightning, it sprinted forward. However, halfway through the countless, long, barbed vines, it was bound and tangled.
Finally, the catfish bone demon was severely wounded, with dozens of bones cut off by the spider. Now, the violent flipping caused the injury to become more and more serious. With its broken bones pulled by the vines, it was left in severe pain and was unable to break free. At this time, a golden mane burst in front of its eyes.
It was clear that no one existed in front of him, but Alex appeared all of a sudden.
He held a golden spear and poked it viciously into the catfish’s eye socket.
“Kill!”
Alex, the Mystic Maiden, and Daya combined well to strike with pinpoint coordination.
