This was an inhumane, one-sided beating without any screams.
Although even Bohala and Woking joined in the beating, they knew their limits and did not let the skeleton experience what it was like to have a fracture.
In fact, even Woking and Bohala, who had strong physical strength, could only make a few cracks on the skeleton's bones even if they used all their strength.
This fact was ignored because the skeleton surrendered so easily.
But on the other hand, the skeleton could not break free from Staji's Psychic Web.
Being the weaker party, the skeleton did not have any intention of resisting and allowed the punches to come at him.
It still hurt, but this degree of blow would not cause the calcium in his body to disappear, so it was still acceptable.
Lao Bai and the others stopped after beating him for a while. They felt that the skeleton was hard enough and seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"Okay, now I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."
"I only know that the Demon King is one of the members who participated in the Great Purge, but I can't tell what it is exactly." The skeleton's tone was slightly aggrieved.
"You've never seen the Demon King?" Gold caught the main point and frowned.
"I've seen it."
"Brother, you're contradicting yourself." Nobunaga held the stone saber and gently knocked on the skeleton's bones, as if he wanted to test whether the saber or the skeleton's bones were harder.
"That's right. Since you've seen the Demon King and became like this because of the Demon King, how can you not know what the Demon King is?" Bohala said righteously.
"Are you trying to hide it?" Dongba questioned.
"Bones, you'd better cooperate honestly. Otherwise, you'll regret it." Nick said in an experienced tone.
The skeleton was helpless against everyone's criticism because he was not lying, but he did not know how to explain.
"He's not lying."
At this time, Bruna took the initiative to speak up for the skeleton.
Not only could the Blue Clan establish communication bridges regardless of race, but they were also very sensitive to the emotions of living creatures. In short, they were natural lie detectors.
With Bruna's words, everyone naturally chose to believe her, so much so that they were immediately puzzled.
The skeleton man glanced at Bruna. Whether it was in the past or now, he was very willing to get close to some non-threatening races. He was also grateful that Bruna spoke up for him from the bottom of his heart.
"If you're willing to listen to some nonsense, then I'll tell you. Before I turned into this ghastly appearance, I was also a human." The Skeleton Man's tone was steeped, even though his posture on the ground was very unsightly.
"You were originally a dwarf?" Dong Ba retorted with a neutral tone.
The skeleton man gripped the toothed staff tightly. If he was not bound by the psychic net, he would have jumped up and smashed Dongba's head.
Calm down, calm down!
The skeleton man murmured a few words in his mind, then ignored Dong Ba and continued, "It could have been four or five hundred years ago, or seven or eight hundred years ago. I can't remember the exact time. At that time, my tribe lived in a valley, and we supported each other with the Stone Tribe in the valley. We fought against enemies together."
Everyone looked at the skeleton man, mentally prepared to listen to a long story.
Even if the skeleton man's following narration might be some nonsense, their understanding of the Darkness Continent was limited. Even if it was nonsense, it could become important information.
"Then one day, the demon king came. I saw with my own eyes that the body of the Stone Tribe's member instantly disintegrated. Even the stone heart in his body wasn't spared. In that short period of time, it was turned into ashes.
"At that time, I didn't realize what had happened. I only saw my own flesh and blood …" At this point, the red light spots in the skeleton man's eye sockets flashed a few times. He continued in a deep voice, "Like water, it flowed to my feet and then turned into a puff of green smoke that dissipated with the wind."
"…"
Everyone fell silent when they heard that.
The skeleton man continued, "When I regained my senses, I had already turned into this ghastly appearance. My tribesmen and the Stone Tribe had all disappeared. In the valley that had suddenly become empty, there was only a series of ear-piercing sounds.
"I couldn't tell where the sounds came from, but at that time, I wanted to find out what had happened. Therefore, I took the initiative to search for the source of the sounds.
"In the end, when I finally found the source of the sounds with great difficulty, I only saw a squarish figure flashing before my eyes. Even the sounds disappeared into thin air. At that time, I was the only one left in the entire valley.
"To be honest, until now, I still don't understand why I was able to survive.
"But I won't think about such meaningless questions. It's because in this place, the most important thing for every race is to survive. Therefore, I left my home, only thinking of being able to live a little longer. The longer, the better.
"Then, I mistakenly entered a human residence. Thankfully, they accepted me. They were the ones who told me about the demon king and Qu Zi."
The skeleton man specially elaborated on the friendliness of the humans in the residence. Then he threw a glance at Dongba, as if making a strong comparison.
In fact, when he mistakenly entered the human residence, he was naturally treated as an intruder and was then ganged up on by a group of people. Thankfully, he was tough enough. Otherwise, he would have been finished long ago.
It was also because of this that he was finally able to communicate with that group of humans and live there.
"The human residence you mentioned, how did they describe the demon king and Qu Zi to you?" Gold asked.
"They were also vague. They said that the demon king was linked to 'order' and that I should never take the initiative to come into contact with the demon king," the skeleton man said.
Gold's eyes flickered. He then asked, "What happened after that? You left the human residence? "
"Yes." The skeleton man paused for a moment and sighed. "One day, the settlement was invaded. The invaders were a type of gaseous lifeform with extremely strong corrosive properties. They came in groups and ignored the excellent defenses, easily destroying the settlement overnight."
"Perhaps because of my form, the gaseous life forms did not attack me. Therefore, I was lucky enough to survive.
"From then on, I understood that races with weak self-preservation abilities could not live in one place for long. Therefore, I began to wander.
"Along the way, I met many races that I could communicate with. I also saw many races destroyed in a short period of time. Therefore, I would never stay in one place for too long. This time, I came underground purely by accident.
"However, what I did not expect was that there were many existences like me here. I wanted to get close to them, but I was almost gnawed on like a bone. Therefore, I decided to settle down here."
"Huh?"
Dongba and the others were stunned.
"To be honest, although I'm a skeleton, I also have a need to eat. Because if I don't take calcium regularly, my body will fall apart. Therefore, I'm very willing to gnaw on the big guys here."
"…"
Everyone was speechless.
So, this is the reason why you overturned your previous experience and decided to settle down here?
"Speaking of which, you guys are considered lucky. If you came two months earlier, you would probably be finished," the skeleton man suddenly said.
"What do you mean?"
"Two years ago, a malefic came here and left two months ago."
"Malefic?"
