The gloomy swamp was shrouded in fog. The smell of decay made some wild beasts retreat far away. Apart from rotten roots and leaves, there were also many animal skeletons. There were also many animal skeletons.
The snow-white skeletons ranged from half a meter to seven or eight meters in length. Most of them were half-submerged in the mud, and the Yin energy was particularly heavy. There was a faint and awe-inspiring aura around it.
Although the towering trees were not very dense, the lush canopy was enough to completely cover this place, making this swamp eerie and gloomy.
The swamp was abnormally quiet. Except for the tall ancient trees. There was not a single living beast, not even a bird.
Night fell. It was even darker in the swamp. Occasionally, there would be a terrifying splashing sound coming from the pond not far away. It was as if there was a giant creature rolling in the water. It was extremely frightening.
The terrifying pond, the deathly silent swamp … Yin fog lingered. It was like a land of death.
All of this could be considered harmonious and quiet compared to the distance. From time to time, there would be a low roar coming from further away, which would make one's scalp tingle.
Days passed by. The swamp seemed to be eternal and unchanging. It was always the same.
In the distance, there would often be a terrifying howl, and sometimes a tall giant shadow would flash. Looking through the lingering fog in the swamp, it was extremely frightening.
And in the pond not far away. Occasionally, there would be a huge disturbance. It seemed that some creature was dragged into the unfathomably deep pond.
The swamp that was shrouded in Yin energy seemed to never change, except for the decaying grass. And the white bones deep in the mud. There was no other place to be found.
Ten years had passed. And in the swamp, there were only a few more white bones. Deathly silence was the theme here, and it seemed to continue forever.
Until one day, a strange and uninvited guest broke into this place. Only then did it bring a little life, oh no, a little death.
A creature that looked like a crocodile more than a meter long, its whole body was snow-white, without any flesh or blood. Not to mention the dazzling scales. It was just a complete skeleton, but there was a faint light flickering in the skull. It looked back nervously. Then, it carefully observed the surrounding movement. After a long time, it was sure that there was no danger here, then it slowly crawled into the swamp.
This place became its territory. Only a weak existence like it would choose this deathly still swamp as its resting place.
Since then, when midnight came, the swamp had a master. Only when all the people and creatures were attracted to the sound did the crocodile-like skeletons hiding in the swamp start to move.
It carefully turned over the bones half-submerged in the mud in the swamp. It seemed to be searching for something. Occasionally, some skeletons with glowing skulls would be flipped over. It would quickly use the stronger light in its skull to engulf and absorb it.
Until one day, the crocodile bone was no longer satisfied with being confined to the swamp. One late night, he slowly crawled towards the pond in front of him. That was when something unexpected happened.
Water splashed everywhere. A sharp claw covered in scales. It was more than one meter long. He suddenly popped out of the water and crushed the crocodile's skeleton. Even the dim light in the skull shattered into pieces.
All of this was seen by a skull in the swamp. Perhaps it should be said that he sensed it.
This was not a complete skeleton. It was just a skull. It was mixed in a pile of animal bones. It was hard to notice. It had just awakened for less than a month. It was the crocodile skeleton that turned it over. Fortunately, the crocodile bone ignored it at that time. Otherwise, the poor dim light in its skull would definitely be devoured.
This skull was snow-white and round. Unlike the other skeletons, this was a human skull.
Although it had awakened for a month, it had not moved at all. It had been observing everything around it. Until the crocodile bone was destroyed. It stayed silent for another week. The extremely weak light in the skull was flashing. It seemed like it would be extinguished at any time.
The skull rolled forward with great effort. It moved towards a reptile's skull. It was very difficult for a skull like this to move in the swamp. It relied on the weak light in the skull as its driving force. Only then could it complete all of this with great difficulty.
The weak light in the skull flashed. It swallowed the even weaker light in the reptile's skeleton. All of this was learned from the crocodile bone before. It was a very outstanding student, even though it was still very weak. But it had the potential to surpass its master.
Obviously, after it absorbed the light in the skeleton, the dim light in its eye sockets became a little brighter.
This snow-white skull began its difficult path of survival and growth. Although it had just awakened for less than a month, it seemed to have an unimaginable talent. It was extremely vigilant and cautious. It never strayed half a step away from the safe area of the swamp. Sometimes, it would not find a "fire seed" even after ten days or half a month. But it was not impatient. Everything was for the sake of survival.
Fortunately, there were countless bones in the swamp. After countless years of accumulation, this place had become a graveyard of death. It could only find a "fire seed" every ten days or so. But the snow-white skull did not seem to be impatient. If there was a harvest, there would be progress.
This was a difficult and slow process of survival and growth. A whole three years had passed. The skull rolled to every corner of the swamp.
Now its fire seed had grown a lot stronger. It could completely support its smooth progress in the swamp.
But that was all. Because the fire seed that was occasionally found here was too weak. Even after devouring for three years, there was no qualitative change.
As the fire seed grew a lot stronger. The snow-white skull slowly looked at the pond in the distance. The broken crocodile bones were still there. The cracked skull. Each piece had a faint light flickering on it. If it absorbed these, it would undoubtedly be much stronger than what it had obtained after three years of hard work.
The previous lesson was still vivid in its mind. It did not dare to act rashly. Instead, it chose to observe. For a whole month. It was finally sure that it could attack.
There was a huge vicious beast in the pond that was also absorbing the fire seed. But it might be very strong. It did not even look at the crocodile bones that it had smashed on the shore. More than half of its body was covered in scales, but it was not complete. Some of the exposed flesh was rotten. It had to come ashore every four or five days. It went to look for the "fire seed" in the distance. But every time, it was silent. And it crawled out from the other side of the pond. So it could not be seen from the depths of the swamp.
It was a terrifying night. Waves of terrifying howls came from the distance. It seemed that there were many fire seeds flashing in the depths of the forest. The vicious beast in the pond moved again.
This was a rare opportunity for the skull that had been observing it for a long time. It had already determined that there would be no other creatures or dangers in the pond. It rolled forward.
It quickly approached the crocodile bones. There was a little light in its eye sockets. It began to absorb the broken fire seed in the broken skull. This was more than it had absorbed in the past three years. It was still relatively weak. Even after midnight, it had only absorbed a third of it.
Looking at the dense forest outside the pond, it had no choice but to return to the swamp reluctantly. Sure enough, the vicious beast soon returned to the pond, stirring up a terrifying wave. After a while, it returned to silence.
The vicious beast in the pond would come out every four or five days. The skull in the swamp finally had another opportunity.
This time, it acted quickly. It grasped every minute and second, trying its best to absorb the remaining fire seed attached to the Ancient Crocodile fragments.
After midnight, it finally finished absorbing and quickly rushed back into the swamp. It felt a lot stronger. When it rolled, it was not blocked by the mud. It was extremely fast.
This could be said to be a metamorphosis. It had become even more powerful. Maybe it could explore outside the swamp.
The big guy in the pond was still a huge threat to it. It could not be provoked at all.
The skull was undoubtedly cautious. It knew that in the swamp, it was already the lord. But in the outside world, it might still be very weak.
After exploring for a long time, half a month later, it rolled out of the swamp. The woodland outside the swamp was really vast. Soon, it heard waves of roars. It seemed that there were very powerful creatures fighting.
It did not dare to go too far away from the swamp. It only wandered around.
"Kacha kacha..."
After midnight. The sound of joints moving came from behind the big tree in front of it. A snow-white jackal skeleton. It walked towards it with stiff steps.
The skull was as if it was facing a great enemy, but it did not retreat. Its fire seed was stronger than the opponent's. But its body was not as agile as the opponent.
Although the jackal's steps were stiff, it jumped up at the critical moment. It pounced from the side. It pressed down on the skull. It quickly approached it, wanting to forcefully swallow it and then retreat.
However, the snow-white skull seemed to have expected all this. Before the wolf's kiss. It turned quickly. Its eyes faced the jackal's head and shot out two beams of light, quickly swallowing almost 20% of the jackal's fire seed.
The jackal retreated in shock and anger. It wanted to retreat but was unwilling. It circled around the skull and finally swooped down again. But this time, the skull was even more daring. More than half of the fire seed in the skull flew out. It connected with the jackal's head that was pouncing over. The fire seed was continuously swallowed.
It seemed to be very talented in fighting. Its instincts were guiding it on how to become stronger.
The battle ended. The skull won, and the fire seed became stronger.
The snow-white skull seemed to have a little luster. It was stronger than before. This was the effect of the fire seed. Moreover, the skull rolled around the jackal's skeleton a few times, and then it actually knocked the jackal's skull off. It wanted to continue on to the jackal's skeleton.
However, after trying a few times, it did not succeed. Later, with the help of the light of the fire seed, it was barely able to continue. It wanted to become stronger, it wanted to have more powerful combat power.
For the past month, a jackal skeleton with a human skull had appeared near the gloomy swamp. Its range of activity was constantly expanding. On this day, it finally saw how terrifying its powerful kind was. The strong fire seed was comparable to the bright moon. It could tear apart towering ancient trees. It could shatter huge rocks.
The area ahead was a place where the strong appeared. There were too many dangers there. It did not dare to approach and could only wander far away at the periphery.
It wanted to walk out of this dark forest one day, but it had to pass through the territory of those strong. It could only become stronger. Only when it was strong enough could it understand the outside world.
"Kacha kacha..."
There was danger approaching the swamp area. The white skeletons of the two cheetahs showed their advantage in speed. They were rushing towards him from afar.
The jackal skeleton pushed against the human skull and quickly hid behind a huge tree. It easily resolved the terrifying collision and then pounced towards a leopard skeleton without showing any weakness.
The glow of the fire seed shone from its eye sockets. It was clearly stronger than the cheetah's, and it quickly absorbed most of the fire seed from one of its prey. However, the other cheetah's skeleton rushed forward and slammed into the jackal's body with a loud bang. With a "huala" sound, the jackal's body fell apart.
However, the skull was very nimble. It rolled to the side and lured the enemy deep into the back. It suddenly bounced up. It also swallowed more than half of the fire seed of this cheetah.
Both cheetahs had lost their combat power. They could only let the human skull absorb their strength.
A year later, the skull had already replaced the skeleton that supported itself with a majestic tiger bone and dared to go deeper into the forest.
This forest was unknown how vast it was. It was shrouded in a gloomy fog all year round. It was difficult to disperse. The dense forest had a strict division of territory. Vaguely, the skull already knew that there seemed to be a "king" in this area, and there seemed to be an even more powerful "king" skull that continued to explore further away. He really wanted to walk out of this forest. To go to the outside world.
Suddenly. A sense of danger appeared. Although there was no sound of bones moving, the skull knew that a powerful creature was approaching. In the past year, its fire seed had become much stronger. It could sense some danger in advance.
"Bam!"
It was ambushed. The rear femur of the giant tiger skeleton was cut off. It almost fell to the ground. It quickly rushed forward. But because it was missing a leg bone. Its movement was very inconvenient.
A human skeleton chased after him with nimble steps. It held a bone knife in its hand and once again slashed at the other tiger leg bone.
"Crack!"
The bone knife successfully separated the two hind leg bones of the tiger skeleton. This was obviously a powerful and intelligent skeleton. It knew how to quickly weaken the opponent.
The skull did not panic. Instead, it rippled with abnormal fluctuations when it saw the human skeleton.
"Chi!"
The sound of air breaking came again. The human skeleton was very strong. The fire seed was also very strong. It waved the huge bone knife and actually caused the sound of air breaking.
The tiger skeleton did not dodge. It let the opponent slash at its waist and abdomen until the bone knife broke its spine. The skull used the powerful impact to bounce up. It crashed into the skull of the human skeleton.
This was a killer move that the skull created after many battles. The human skeleton obviously did not expect the opponent to use "Outer Sky Flying Head" and was unable to dodge.
The sneak attack was successful. Two beams of light shot out from its eye sockets. The skull that bounced up instantly swallowed nearly half of the human skeleton's fire seed. Moreover, it successfully knocked the opponent's head off. In the end, it won and completely swallowed the opponent's powerful fire seed.
The fire seed became stronger. Most importantly, it found a suitable body skeleton. When he stood up in his human form, his strength increased by a large margin.
It could swing its fists and legs. It was like a tiger. It was no longer afraid of its own kind. Then it held the hard bone knife on the ground in its hand. To increase its overall strength.
"My name is Xiao."
He released such a mental fluctuation. He gave himself a name.
"Boom!"
In front of him. Two terrifying spiritual waves surged over. Two gigantic rotten winged humanoid creatures appeared. They were three meters tall, and each of them held a hard and sharp long bone sword as they confronted each other.
A foreign "king" intruded into the territory of this "king". A battle was inevitable.
Xiao held the bone knife in his hand tightly. He hid in the dark. Watching from afar. He wanted to become stronger. To defeat these "kings". He wanted to break out of the forest and explore the unknown world.
