Chapter 527: Chapter 336: Victory is Decided, Origin Emerges!
A faint glimmer of tiny text emerged silently:
“The Tomb Guardian General has been staying for 12 hours, do you wish to send him back?”
Shen Ye glanced at Xiao Mengyu.
Ever since she returned to the Magic Cottage, she sat cross-legged with a sword in both hands, her eyes slightly closed, pletely absorbed in a state of self-forgetful prehension.
It would be a pity to interrupt her at this time.
Shen Ye’s mind stirred, and immediately tiny glimmering text appeared:
“For every hour the Tomb Guardian General stays, an energy unit cost: 2 points.”
“Remaining energy: 500.”
Just now, the Immortal Puppet and the Earth Demon Beast dealing with the familiars’ army allowed the Dharma Aspect to absorb quite a bit of energy.
Even earlier, that nuclear bomb also released a considerable amount of energy.
Alright.
We can afford it.
With his will, the tiny glimmering text continued to appear:
“2 points of energy have been paid now for the Tomb Guardian General to stay for one hour.”
“Energy will continue to be deducted every hour until you terminate this summoning.”
Shen Ye withdrew his gaze.
Bronte came over, his face filled with gratitude:
“Peiqi brother, I thank you for saving our lives this time, it’s really great that you hermits could e out at this time.”
“It’s nothing, we need to survive too,” Shen Ye said.
“I just used the Magic Cottage’s Message Transmission Array to report the situation here, I’m afraid someone will e to verify it soon,” Bronte said.
“Okay, got it,” Shen Ye said.
Bronte bowed respectfully and withdrew to where the soldiers were.
Not long after.
A bird brought over a slip of paper.
Bronte read the note and immediately took the soldiers to patrol the nearby woods.
Only Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu were left in the cottage.
Shen Ye continued to watch over her.
Suddenly.
The voice of the huge skeleton echoed in his ear:
“It’s assembled.”
“Oh? Good, we’ll ask,” Shen Ye said.
The Skeleton said, “You should take a look first, I think… it’s strange…”
“Strange? Bring it out, I need to watch Xiao Mengyu, it’s not good for me to enter the Dharma Aspect.”
“No problem.”
The void flashed, and the Skeleton gently placed a pletely assembled corpse on the floor of the cottage.
It was the demon’s corpse.
The twin horns on the head of the corpse had disappeared, replaced by slender arms.
On its back, covered in bizarre runes, there was a long, sharp spike tail.
It was all too familiar.
Wasn’t this a king species?
But this corpse was smaller than the king species, its Physique more slender.
The Skeleton was silent.
Shen Ye also fell into silence.
Both sensed an indescribable oddness.
It was as though a shadow of death hovered around them, ready to pounce at any moment and devour them pletely.
“Do you want to ask?”
The skeleton’s voice was tinged with tension.
Shen Ye pondered and said, “I have the blood of a king species in me, and I have assumed the position of ‘Dark Devourer,’ so I can faintly sense that the king species seems to be bound by some restriction and cannot reveal the secrets of the Great Tomb.”
“That’s why I had you eat it.”
The skeleton continued:
“And now here es another king species—look, it’s so frail and thin, its shell is still soft, clearly in its larval stage.”
Shen Ye said, “There must be something plicated going on here. What if I ask and it refuses to answer, wouldn’t we be back in a dead end?”
“I have a way,” the skeleton said.
Its physique underwent a transformation, and it turned into the appearance of a king species.
“Look, now I’m exactly like it. I’ll handle it while you ask from the shadows, how about that?” the skeleton boasted.
Shen Ye observed for a while and hesitated, “Can you get rid of that shell on your back?”
“I have a shell?” the skeleton was surprised.
“…Yes,” Shen Ye said.
“Maybe it’s because I lack a sense of security, so a shell formed naturally,” the skeleton explained.
“No, it’s because you’re too good at this,” Shen Ye said impassively.
“All right, I’ll try.”
After a while, the shell on the skeleton’s back finally disappeared.
It had bee a plete king species Cosmic Giant Insect.
—But it lacked the powerful strength typical of a king species.
“I feel like something’s still off…”
Shen Ye said.
“Now that you mention it, I also feel that way. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the inheritance of the insect race?” the skeleton pondered.
The two fell into thought.
After mulling it over, Shen Ye slowly said:
“Although you can turn into a king species, you haven’t taken on the role of ‘Dark Devourer’.”
“Exactly!” the skeleton realized, “I only have some basic skills of the Cosmic Insect Race, not professional skills.”
“You’ll be found out,” Shen Ye said.
“Right,” the skeleton sighed.
The two were once again at a standstill.
“No, I must know the truth here,” Shen Ye suddenly said.
“But there’s no way,” the skeleton squatted on the ground, poking at the corpse with a finger, “How could the secret that a king species couldn’t divulge even after tens of thousands of years of torment be told to us?”
“There’s a way,” Shen Ye said.
“What?”
“Let’s fuse together!”
“Wait, what did you say?” the skeleton took a wary step back.
“Be serious, I mean like the last time we entered Sorrowful Shadows Demon Castle, make your body capable of holding a person.”
“That’s easily said,” the skeleton breathed a sigh of relief.
It shrugged casually, and soon, a “jiji kakaka gongji gongji” sound could be heard from within its body.
A long crack appeared on the left side of its body, and with a gentle pry using its hand, it opened up an entire section of ribcage, revealing the hollow inside.
“Wait for me,” Shen Ye said.
He struggled into the skeleton’s body, grabbed hold of the ribs, and closed the body up.
Then—
He released an energy fluctuation belonging to the “Dark Devourer,” as he remembered it.
Even though it was weak, it was the genuine power fluctuation of a king species professional skill!
