"Who are you?"
Just as Hao Shuai stared intently at the Fire Gathering Basin, a faint voice suddenly rang out in the cave. With a series of crisp clacks, the life-sized skeleton turned its head toward Hao Shuai and stared at him through its hollow eye sockets.
Hao Shuai didn't answer Beast God right away. Instead, he looked away and slowly approached the skeleton.
Light swirled, and the eerie glow flickered between long and short, as if a pair of eyes were watching him from beyond.
"Answer me. Who are you?" Beast God's cold voice sounded again.
"Who I am is none of your concern," Hao Shuai replied solemnly. "You only need to know that I came to kill you."
After all, if he wanted to claim the Fire Gathering Basin for himself, he first had to eliminate Beast God.
"Kill me?! Hahaha~~~" Beast God seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and couldn't help laughing.
Beast God's unique laughter echoed throughout the cave. All thirteen skeletons around them suddenly began to clatter, as if they were coming back to life all at once. Their skulls turned, and their deep, hollow sockets fixed on Hao Shuai.
The next moment, the piece of silk floated into the air.
A silent growl seemed to ring out. In an instant, dazzling light burst from beneath the silk, shooting in every direction like an unstoppable arrow loosed from a bow.
"Whoosh!" Hao Shuai even felt the surging demonic power carried by the light as it rushed past his ear.
The roar of wind, mixed with an eerie, sinister laugh, began to echo through the ancient cave.
The thirteen skeletons suddenly raised their heads and howled at the sky!
Under this bizarre, terrifying atmosphere, anyone else would have been scared out
