The walking skeletons

After Ning Qi saw him go, he also flew away.

At this moment, the Medicine Spirit had already arrived in front of the spirit medicine.

A pair of eyes observed the situation here.

A solemn expression appeared on his face.

He activated the Life Essence within his body, which then transformed into wisps and surged towards the spirit medicine before him.

Then, it transformed into a giant net, completely enveloping all the spirit medicine in the area.

"Whoosh!"

Under his control, they began to slowly explore inside.

"Sizzle!"

These dried-up spirit medicine seemed to sense the fluctuations of Life Essence.

It even began to tremble slightly.

At first, there were only a few plants, but gradually more and more appeared.

In the end, all the spirit medicine here began to tremble.

On each plant, a faint Life Essence seemed to surge forth.

In the blink of an eye, you can see a touch of green above.

However, it was still very faint.

But it's much better than before.

"How about it?"

Ning Qi observed the changes here and sensed the fluctuations, then asked a question.

"Master, these spirit medicine haven't withered; they've been sealed with Restriction."

After observing for a while, Medicine Spirit turned around and spoke seriously.

"Oh, someone placed Restriction on you?"

Ning Qi let out a soft "hmm," his expression turning serious. "Then, is there any hope for this?"

That's what he cares about; if there's no hope, there's no need to waste time here.

Who would want to hang out with some useless spirit medicine that look good but can't be used?

"Master, that's possible, but I need time to refine it."

Medicine Spirit nodded and continued, "Then, let's take them to our Inner Realm now."

"I'll refine it when I have time."

"If this were placed within our Time-Difference Formation, it wouldn't take long to break through."

"Then these spirit medicine will be ours."

"These are different from what we get at auctions; these have life of their own."

"In other words, we can use them to continue planting."

"In that case, we can continue to plant all the spirit medicine here!"

"Okay, since it works, that's fine."

Ning Qi showed a satisfied expression, then waved his hand.

Suddenly, his Inner Realm and his passage were opened.

"Good!"

Medicine Spirit nodded, and then immediately began circulating his Life Essence.

Then, the power of the large network was increased.

They took away all the spirit medicine here.

After he took it, it returned directly to the Inner Realm.

Seeing this, Ning Qi followed them back.

They then arrived at the place where the pool of water contained the Life Essence.

After arriving, Medicine Spirit carefully planted all these spirit medicine here.

After finishing everything, they even brought down the pool water here.

"Master, I will now begin setting up the Time-Difference Formation here."

"This way, his refining process will be accelerated."

Medicine Spirit showed no intention of leaving and spoke directly to Ning Qi.

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."

After Ning Qi agreed, he prepared to leave.

"Master, what are your plans now that you're going out?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Medicine Spirit asked with concern.

"There's nothing left here. I'm going to check out the other island."

"If you find nothing, then you can come out."

"Let's take the Flying Vessel and continue our journey!"

Ning Qi thought for a moment before speaking.

"Clear!"

Medicine Spirit agreed and got to work.

Ning Qi didn't say anything.

He then went out and sealed the passage.

He then regained his composure and took another look at the situation.

It then rose directly from the ground.

They left the island and flew towards another one.

A moment later, he had arrived on another island.

The situation here is different from that on the island we just visited.

This place is full of barren landforms, and in some places there are even deserts.

It was a deathly still place.

Since Ants have already been deployed to cause trouble, there is no longer any threat here.

After Ning Qi arrived, he began to survey the situation on a hill.

At first, he didn't notice anything, but after observing for a while, he discovered that there were fluctuations ahead.

Then, it suddenly flew away, rushing forward.

When he arrived, he found it to be an abandoned immortal Immortal Abode.

Around this Immortal Abode, there are some cities, which have been weathered by the passage of time.

It became dilapidated.

"Call!"

Every now and then, a gust of wind would blow by, accompanied by howling sounds.

It sends chills down your spine.

If this were an ordinary person, they would be scared to death just from the shock.

Because Ning Qi discovered the problem when he followed the sound.

In the distance, there were rows of corpses.

These corpses were all skeletons, and they were walking around in the open in broad daylight.

Some are even still fighting back and forth.

However, since they were just skeletons, their fighting didn't cause much of a stir.

"Strangeness."

Ning Qi looked at this peculiar scene and couldn't help but smile, "What is this?"

After muttering to himself, he suddenly flew off forward.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of one of the skeletons.

Standing not far from him, I quietly observed this skeleton.

At first, the skeleton was unaware that he was being targeted.

They are wandering aimlessly.

However, Ning Qi later discovered that they hadn't noticed him at all.

So, he suddenly circulated a wisp of the Immortal Power within his body.

"Whoosh!"

With a wisp of Immortal Power circulating, he was suddenly flung forward.

"Boom!"

The next moment, bursts of Immortal Power erupted from afar.

With each fluctuation of Immortal Power, a powerful burst of energy erupted from this place.

Instantly, it attracted all the skeletons here.

After they were drawn in, Ning Qi focused his attention on them.

"Snap!"

"Click-clack!"

66

Countless skeletons were moving towards the direction where the ripples were coming from.

They were not fast, and they were also quite slow.

However, compared to the previous aimless wandering, this time there was clearly a purpose.

That's the direction from which the fluctuations will erupt.

After they arrived, they began to wander back and forth here.

They bumped into each other, but stopped fighting.

Instead, they carefully observed the situation, wanting to know exactly what had just happened.

They all looked on with curiosity.

However, Ning Qi did not take any further action.

He has already figured out what these skeletons are all about through the experiment he just did.

"So, they only react to fluctuations in Immortal Power."

"And what about Demonic Power?"

Ning Qi thought to himself, and secretly activated a wisp of Demonic Power.

After he activated this Demonic Power, it suddenly shot forward.

This time, the attack was aimed at a group of skeletons.

However, he didn't use much force; it was just right.

Let Demonic Power attach itself to them.

"Whoosh!"

As the Demonic Power surged, waves of energy erupted from this place.

The fluctuations began to spread, and the aura they emitted once again attracted the attention of many skeletons.

However, the skeleton that had just been chasing after Immortal Power did not chase after the Demonic Power here.

However, the skeletons that had been motionless just moments before began to move.

They swarmed in, beginning to observe the situation.

Soon, he realized he had been tricked too.

"How interesting, these skeletons are clearly from the Devil Race."

"And those just now were clearly from the Immortal Race."

Ning Qi quickly made a judgment.

So, how are they able to act on their own?

Ning Qi became even more curious.

So he concealed his presence.

Then they came to a lone skeleton and began to carefully observe its appearance.

At first, nothing was discovered.

Later, Ning Qi activated a wisp of his Divine Sense.

Then they began to explore the skeleton.

Gradually, he discovered the problem: there was a fluctuation in the core area of the skeleton.

This fluctuation seemed to be manipulated, except that the controlling Divine Sense had long since disappeared.

"If it were still here, I would probably have been discovered long ago if I were to move around here."

Ning Qi quickly understood and focused his attention ahead.

He also observed the strange skeletons there for a while.

It was ultimately determined that these skeletons had no effect on humans.

It's just like Puppet created by a person.

After being observed by him for a while, Ning Qi discovered some new problems.

Without exception, all the skeletons here bear some kind of sword wound.

These sword wounds gave him a sense of familiarity.

"Wait, was this sword wound inflicted by the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Ning Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly realized something.

However, he was not in a hurry to bring out the Heavenly Tribulation.

Instead, he picked up a wooden stick and began to perform Sword Art.

At first, nothing happened.

Later, he discovered that when this Sword Art was used, it had already begun to vibrate the withered bones here.

Each time he unleashed a sword move, some of the withered bones here would tremble.

"In other words, they were all killed by this Sword Art."

"This means they were all killed by Heavenly Tribulation!"

Ning Qi's expression turned solemn. "So, are all these skeletons here victims of the Heavenly Tribulation?"

He looked at the countless skeletons here and couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment.

How many people were killed?

That one weapon alone killed everyone here.

So, what did the people here do to the master of this Heavenly Tribulation?

What could have driven someone to such rage that they would use such powerful weapons to slaughter everyone here?

Ning Qi thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out.

However, the most likely explanation is that it was a revenge killing.

The fact that they were personally killed by a master proves that their hatred had reached an irreconcilable point.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so ruthless in killing him.

Even if these people are dead.

The corpse could still move, but it had become a lifeless, fleshless walking corpse. "Phew!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and began to observe the situation inside.

There were many skeletons here, but they no longer held any interest for him.

He ignored the skeletons and headed towards the city ahead.

Once you reach this part of the city, the next step ahead will lead to the Mountain Gate of the Immortal Abode.

Once they get up there, they might find clues as to why their entire family was wiped out.

Ning Qi was actually interested in this.

Perhaps this expert came to kill them in order to seize the treasure.

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then continued forward.

Soon, they arrived at the city.

There are even more skeletons here.

He started walking towards the City Lord's Mansion, as it was the only City Lord's Mansion where he was most likely to find any clues.

He quickly located the City Lord's Mansion and flew there directly.

He already knew that as long as he didn't use his Immortal-Demon Power, he wouldn't be detected by the skeletons here.

If that's the case, then you can conduct investigations however you like.

Ning Qi thought to himself and began searching around here.

The City Lord's Mansion here is also in a state of disrepair.

However, one can still see glimpses of its former glory.

The architecture here still reveals its profound mysteries.

They even used Chaos Stones, and the lighting was all made of Spirit Marrow.

"That's really extravagant."

After expressing his feelings, Ning Qi continued walking towards the backyard.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he was about to reach the backyard, he suddenly felt a powerful attack coming from behind him.

"Call!"

Ning Qi didn't take it to heart, and simply took a deep breath.

They simply vanished on the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already behind the attacker.

Before him lay a skeleton.

The difference is that these skeletons are red.

The other skeletons were all white.

Ning Qi observed from behind and discovered that there was a slight fluctuation in the heart area of the skeleton.

This bears some resemblance to his Netherworld Ghostfire.

However, this was clearly not it, but the fluctuations were much stronger than those from the white, withered bones.

With each fluctuation, a red light would spread throughout the skeleton's entire body.

This will allow the skeleton to move around here.

He was also carrying a bow and arrow.

These bows and arrows were the very weapons used to attack Ning Qi.

However, after Ning Qi concealed his aura, the skeleton could no longer detect his presence.

"In other words, these red, withered bones no longer need to rely on the Immortal-Demon Power to determine whether someone has arrived."

"They can now tell if someone is coming just by their aura and presence."

After seeing it clearly, Ning Qi immediately made this decision.

I see.

He just stared at the red, withered bones.

At this moment, upon discovering that Ning Qi was gone, the skeleton began to continue its exploration.

The fluctuations in his core area intensified, and the speed increased.

They quickly searched the yard.

However, it's no longer of any use.

Ning Qi had already hidden himself away, and he couldn't find where Ning Qi was at all.

After searching for a while without finding anything, the search for the red, withered bones ceased.

He began to Patrol aimlessly around the area again.

It was as if they were protecting the City Lord's Mansion.

"Interesting."

Looking at the situation, Ning Qi couldn't help but smile and say, "Then, this person must have been a member of the City Lord's Mansion before his death."

"Otherwise, why would they be stationed here?"
