Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

As the whistle sounded, the giant skeletal crocodile slowed down its forward momentum and turned its head warily towards the direction of the sound.

It felt an aura that was more threatening to it, and its most primitive self-defense mechanism, "fear," forced it to stop killing the "prey" in front of it, resisting the pain caused by the entanglement of the two forces on its head, and wanted to Be discerning about what is approaching.

The moment Alexander saw the bone monster stop, the despair in his heart deepened. This monster was already so difficult to deal with. If there was someone who could control or even deter it...

Do they still have hope of escape?

But the next moment, Alexander saw clearly the figure walking out of the woods.

Even if she is not holding a lantern in her hand, it is enough for others to see her appearance. Hamel's golden hair is only a piece of silver, and those pale yellow light spots are floating around her body. It is exactly what Alexander tried to "identify" before. "The special thing that I dare not see clearly.

Alexander seemed to understand what the "light" in Aaron's words was, because the lady who came out was surrounded by a group of lights like fireflies, hazy and strange. She seemed to be naturally one with them, and she seemed to be surrounded by them. A shepherd among the sheep.

That kind of light is so gentle that people can't help but feel longing for it when they are ignorant. It seems that they can become a part of it, and it is like looking at a false phantom across the river bank.

The whistle never stopped, blowing a melody that Alexander had never heard before.

There was not much expression on Hamel's face, and she stared calmly and indifferently at the huge skeleton crocodile. There was also a strange light flowing in her eyes, but it was obscured by a faint black shadow and was blurry.

It was only when she turned her head and made eye contact with Alexander that Hamel blinked and nodded to Alexander that her usual lively and brisk demeanor returned.

She casually hung the lantern on a branch, freed her left hand, moved her fingers habitually, and held the bone sword that emitted the same light with her right hand.

Esther no longer whistled the song "Insects Fly", but put a little force on her feet and headed straight for the huge crocodile's head, which was a mixture of flesh, mucous membrane and feathers.

As Esther lowered her body and then jumped out, the giant skeletal crocodile suddenly turned its body and swung its tail towards Esther.

It was deliberately increasing the distance between its head and Esther.

Esther had already expected it. She raised the corners of her mouth and drew a circle in the air with the bone sword in her right hand.

A huge ring of light lit up at the soles of the skeleton crocodile's feet, making a buzzing sound.

If the purpose from the beginning was a sneak attack, there was no need for Esther to whistle. Her original purpose was to use the resonance of the whistle to guide the light spots lurking underground and spread them under the giant crocodile to a wide enough area. scope.

Enough to encircle it entirely in the ring!

The skeleton crocodile began to twist back little by little, gradually retracting its thrown tail in a rather comical way. Its limbs, which were shorter than its huge body, twisted on the ground and uncontrollably retreated to the place where it had just stepped. .

"Go back to the ship as soon as possible!" Esther shouted to Alexander from a distance.

Of course, Alexander would not hesitate at such a critical moment. Since Hamel could hold back the giant crocodile now, the others would only be in the way.

"You guys, follow Mary and head to the coast as quickly as possible. Thomas, you should also go with them to be prepared for other enemies!"

Mary helped the two sailors up from the ground: "I know!"

Thomas gritted his teeth and glanced at Hamel, who was quickly running towards the giant crocodile: "What about you?"

Alexander pulled the other sailor up from the ground with a sullen face: "If we fail to go back half an hour after you board the ship, let Aaron divine my situation and leave the island as soon as possible. Just leave this box for me, and the rest You take those two back."

Thomas took a deep breath: "Okay, take care."

He will not leave time for sadness. This is not the time to risk life and death together. There are still wounded people in the team. Ordinary people can't help here and will only become a drag. It is really important to send them away as soon as possible.

Mary glanced at the figure surrounded by light spots again, and soon followed the others into the woods.

The light on the outer layer of the "pale bone nail" in Esther's hand weakened, revealing the original appearance of the white and smooth bone. Little bits of light floated up from it, resonating with the same frequency as its counterparts in the air.

The moment Esther stepped into the aperture range, the ring under the skeleton crocodile began to tremble. Because of her appearance, the incomplete "restart" that was disturbed tore a gap, and as the black light in the crocodile's eye sockets became stronger , its body gradually stopped reversing its movements.

The halo drawn by Esther suddenly shattered. After the fragmentation, only a few light spots returned to their original form. They seemed like trailing meteors flying back to Esther. Most of them were destroyed in the previous incomplete "restart". Run out.

Esther jumped and rolled to avoid the heavy impact of the skeleton crocodile's tail. The place she had just run through had been crushed into a deep pit.

The giant beast continued to sweep over with its tail. Esther had already noticed the angle at which the tail would swing. She kicked the ground suddenly, allowing her body to jump into the air.

She seized the opportunity of the tail approaching, and stabbed the "pale bone nail" in her right hand hard on it. She grabbed the protrusion on the other tailbone with her left hand and stabilized her center of gravity on the crocodile's tail.

The crocodile swung its tail violently, but could not get away from Esther at all. The huge tailbone of her body kept rising and falling, and her mind was rapidly reasoning about her landing point and inertial momentum. Esther watched closely every time. Opportunity grabs the bone spurs in the front section and keeps crawling up the crocodile's spine.

Alexander opened the box that was left behind and took out a test tube from inside, which contained a light cyan fluorescent liquid. Alexander pulled out the stopper and drank it without hesitation.

Alexander, Thomas and Aaron each kept a tube of the spiritual-squeezing potion. After drinking it, it can forcefully drain the drinker's spirituality. However, they must rest for the next three days, otherwise the use of extraordinary powers will greatly increase the risk of losing control. .

But now Alexander can't care about this. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hamel to be alone. Based on Alexander's observation, she seemed to have set her target on the monster's skull from the beginning, and Alexander happened to understand the weirdness of the bone sword. , and also made corresponding speculations about what Hamel was going to do.

She wanted to use that bone sword to absorb the cold power hidden in the eye sockets of this skeletal monster.

The halo power that Hamel used when dragging this monster was very strange. Although Alexander didn't know the principle of it, it was obvious that it was not an ability that could be used frequently or maintained. It would be difficult for her to use it again in a short time. Second-rate.

So Alexander knew that he had to help her and find a way to immobilize this huge monster so that Hamel could have a chance to climb to the top of the giant skeleton crocodile.

He took out a small iron box tied with several dead vines from the box. After tearing open the dead vines, Alexander pushed the box open to reveal the seeds sealed inside.

This seed looks no different from a shelled brown almond, but its wrinkled skin is engraved with the texture of several layers of branches and leaves, revealing the conduits of green juice constantly flowing underneath.

After instilling a large amount of spawned spirituality, Alexander stuffed the skin into the launcher next to it, which began to transform into emerald green seeds. The launcher was also specially built for this seed. Its structure is closer to that of a crossbow. It uses a mechanism spring instead of the impact of gunpowder. Its range and lethality are far inferior to that of a normal revolver.

But it is enough to launch this seed.

The moment the trigger was pulled, a green ball of light exploded from the tip of the launcher. Before it touched the ground, it had already grown a large root system in the air.

The middlemost almond, which turned completely green, fell to the soles of the giant skeleton crocodile, and was crushed by it in a hurry.

Large branches, green leaves, and vines spread crazily, and the green plants were full of vitality, as if they were inflated balloons in an instant, swelling into a large ball. Under the distortion of extraordinary power, they spanned ten years and hundreds of years, trying to penetrate the roots of those white bones and absorb their energy to further promote themselves.

The entire lower body of the giant crocodile was wrapped and tightly entangled by these crazy plants that did not belong to the island. It could no longer try to shake off the presence at its tail that it felt was threatening.

Esther would not miss this opportunity. As soon as she stabilized her body, she ran and jumped, using the bones on the crocodile's back to quickly approach the front head.

At this time, only a small part of the head's white bones were exposed. Its entire lower jaw, teeth, and the front of the upper jaw were wrapped in a mass of flesh that was constantly swelling with blood blisters, and was shapelessly attached to the bones inside. , closer to a layer of minced flesh than flesh, and those blood bubbles would burst from time to time, spilling a small ball of crimson plasma.

Colorful feathers grew from the top of the giant crocodile's head down to its eye sockets, as if it had a crest on it. As it began to shake its head vigorously, it swayed from side to side.

Esther stepped on the bright feathers, and the cold breath touched her body, but it could not affect her at all. She held on to an upturned piece of the skull of the giant white-bone beast and stood firm.

Then the bone sword in her right hand was raised high and stabbed hard into the middle of the giant crocodile's eyes.

Due to the characteristics of the "pale bone nail" itself, it can penetrate into any bone without any hindrance, and the entire tip penetrated deeply into the skull of a huge crocodile.

Esther could clearly feel that something was penetrated by the "pale bone nail" when she pressed the bone sword in hard. It was frantically absorbing the power from a similar source.

The cold breath continued to overflow from under the bone sword. The giant crocodile at Esther's feet opened its mouth, but due to the disorder of the source of power, it could no longer send out the silent scream directed at the spirit body.

Esther pressed hard on the end of the bone sword.

A black streak penetrated into her body along the bone sword, and for just a moment, Esther caught a glimpse of some strange illusion:

It was very similar to the feathered serpent described in mythology, but it was entrenched lifelessly in the shadows, looking extremely illusory. There were feathers stained with light butter in the gaps between the dark green scales, and thin black tubes extended above.

A thick cloud of bones drowned the scene.

After the giant crocodile raised its head for the last time, its huge body hit the ground heavily, stirring up flying dust and crushed branches and leaves.
