Bone Dragon and Miao Xin

Time rewinds slightly.

On the walls of the Radiant Holy City.

When he saw a large number of statues rushing towards Su Ming and Zijin like cockroaches from the south, Hansite, who had been watching the battle closely, suddenly stood up!

He flipped his hand and took out a folding weapon, then with a flick of his wrist, unfolded it.

With a series of precise and crisp clicks, the weapon unfolded and took shape—a strangely shaped longbow as beautiful and exquisite as a harp!

With its slender, arched body and elegant lines, interwoven with silver and deep blue, it resembles a work of art, yet exudes a sharp and deadly aura that cannot be underestimated.

Hansite lightly touched the ground with his feet, ready to charge forward.

But suddenly his trouser leg tightened, abruptly stopping his forward movement.

He glanced down and saw that he had been stepped on by a snow-white hoof.

Logically, the fabric should have torn immediately after such an impact.

But a fine, gentle Magic Power permeated that hoof, freezing that small patch of clothing in place.

"They're in danger if this continues!"

Hansite began to speak, quickly but in a calm tone.

Qiluo looked up at him, her voice full of self-righteousness. "If you unseal the power of the Moon Chanter, you will not see the dawn of tomorrow."

"It's just welcoming death," Hansite replied.

This reason is simply not enough to convince him.

His gaze darkened slightly, and he raised his aura, preparing to break free from the unicorn's not-so-strong restraints.

Qiluo continued, "The Death Whisper Butterfly has not yet appeared; this is not the time for your demise."

She tilted her head slightly.

"Dear fellow believers and fellow diners of the Moon Goddess, we still have a long road ahead of us."

Hansite was not surprised that Qiluo had seen through his identity.

His true profession is Tsukuyomi, possessing musical blessing abilities similar to those of a bard, but he is an out-and-out combatant.

Near or far is acceptable.

Qiluo, who also possesses moon-attribute power, probably knew this from the beginning.

"Augustus's 'Divine Radiance Puppet' has the ability to coalesce," Hansite said in a deep voice. "Can Su Ming and Zijin really handle it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Augustus, on the distant battlefield, as if to confirm his words, immediately activated the idol combination.

A colossal war statue has arrived!

Hansite's heart tightened instinctively.

But before the worries could even arise -

Swish!

A huge white shadow suddenly streaked across the sky above their heads!

Its entire body was pale, its skeletal frame was rugged yet full of power, and its body was adorned with clusters of crystal-clear red crystals, which trailed a magnificent stream of light in the night as it sped toward the battlefield!

Hansite paused slightly, taken aback.

Qiluo flicked her mane, her tone quite pleased. "I told you! This couple is completely in control!"

I trust you this time.

Hansite folded the strange longbow in his hand and put it back in his pocket.

At the same time, he breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

****

On the battlefield.

Directly in front of the "Divine Puppet" judgment beam, Su Ming and Zijin were still holding hands, suspended in mid-air, their expressions calm.

The next instant, boom!

A similarly massive figure leaped into the battlefield, bringing with it a sudden gust of wind. It met head-on with the Judgment Beam attack energy unleashed by the "Divine Puppet." The energy was blocked in mid-air, creating a large aftershock. Violent flames and shockwaves swept across the battlefield!

The one that blocked that attack was none other than Zijin's Bone Dragon Form!

Compared to when Su Ming first saw it, this skull dragon was clearly much thicker.

The upgraded components made from Crystal Dragon material gave the Quail a comprehensive boost.

The skull's head had several additional sets of red crystal edges, like a crown or a blade; the spine bulged down with a row of ferocious spines of varying sizes, layer upon layer; even the tips of the wings and the claws were covered with crystal material.

Bathed in the firelight, the red crystals reflected a sharp, chilling light, giving this terrifying undead bone dragon a magnificent yet dangerous armor.

Amidst the scattering of shattered light, the reinforcement components on the bone dragon's body were activated!

The crystals on the Dragon Claw's claws shone brightly, forming a mirror-like crystalline shield that withstood the judgment beam!

The next moment, the mirror shield trembled, forcibly deflecting and reflecting the entire beam of light back!

Boom-!

With a loud bang, the "divine puppet" was hit squarely by its own attack, and its heavy body was shaken backward.

A very obvious scorching crack appeared on its chest, the alchemical array was torn apart, and it faded visibly.

Augustus's face instantly darkened.

"Your Holiness the Pope--"

Su Ming's lips curled into a rather irritating smile.

"What did you just say? Could you please repeat it?"

Competing for resources?

Then Su Ming might not necessarily lose!

Perhaps the newly formed Final Bone Mad Machines cannot compare to the long-established behemoth that is the Millennium Holy See in terms of accumulated foundation.

The problem is, Su Ming is really willing to squander any resources he acquires!

Whether it's used on the blade or the back of the knife, as long as it enhances combat power, he won't hesitate to use it!

Once, one of Su Ming's roommates lent him his adventure game account to play. As a result, this guy used high-level potions and spammed rare items the whole time, and high-level ammunition was poured out like water. His hoarder roommate was almost brought to tears.

Augustus stared at the bone dragon that had appeared, his eyes filled with anger and rage.

"Modifications that reflect magic?"

He spoke coldly, then manipulated the "divine puppet" to stride forward, even running at high speed.

If you're going to use reflect magic, then melee combat is the way to go!

With each step the colossal statue, over ten meters tall, took, the ground trembled violently. Its massive fist rose, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, and slammed down fiercely towards the bone dragon!

The bone dragon, jointly controlled by Su Ming and Zijin, was not intimidated at all. Instead of retreating, it advanced and fiercely attacked with its sharp claws!

Fists and claws clashed.

Click--!

Tiny sparks exploded everywhere, and shockwaves spread along the point of impact.

Click! A few crisp cracking sounds rang out.

The bones of the bone dragon and the fist of the "divine puppet" cracked simultaneously, with cracks spreading across their arms.

"Excuse me-

Zijin's voice carried a hint of smugness, along with a mischievous streak meant to annoy her.

"The Bone Dragon's physical strength has also increased!"

Augustus's face immediately turned even more grim.

He took a deep breath, his mental energy sinking further into the "divine puppet," and his control became even more precise.

With a nimble sidestep, the "divine puppet" deflected the force of the bone dragon's attack, then suddenly raised its leg and unleashed a powerful side kick!

Bang!!!

The bone dragon's massive body was kicked away, tracing an arc in the air before it staggered back more than ten steps before finally regaining its footing, crashing into a building behind it and collapsing.

"This guy's possessed duo, he's much more agile than us!"

Zijin's voice was slightly annoyed; she had dragged the team down this time.

"I won't lose to him." Su Ming said, his spiritual power penetrating deep into his sea of consciousness, grasping the vengeful spirit mark.

The summoning light flashed by in an instant.

[Miao Xin, get to work!]

[ha?]

****

On the other side of Earth, Miao Xin was having a great time.

The pig-skull form, which served as the carrier of the mapping, shattered along with the H-6 WZ. Therefore, after the mapping was deactivated, Miao Xin controlled the Little Spiky Head to wander around and arrived at the base's stadium.

Then, with great enthusiasm, he played basketball with the group of base guards who were on break.

1v5!

The current score is 10-0, with Miao Xin in the lead.

Unless "Lao Da" comes, these humans really can't do anything about her.

"Are you all trying to be the good guys here?"

Jin Rongjia, watching from the sidelines, crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

Clearly, this person knows exactly how to "cheer on".

He shouted directly onto the field, "However many points we lose, we'll run laps around the track that many times!"

The players on the field were stunned upon hearing this, and cries of pain rose up. Then they all exerted their strength.

But Miao Xin's control of the Little Spiky Head was so agile, twisting and turning left and right, dodging and weaving, with ridiculously flashy footwork. Forget about intercepting the ball, you couldn't even touch it.

Occasionally, the girls would get so into it that they would even do some gymnastic moves.

One of the team members was pushed to the limit. Seeing that he had been easily outmaneuvered again, he gritted his teeth and suddenly leaped out!

Caught off guard, Miao Xin was tackled to the ground by him.

But that teammate didn't get away with it either.

Because his "dear teammates" all swarmed at him!

"Suppress it! Suppress it!"

Don't let her get up!

"Hold on, brother!"

They piled on top of each other like a human pyramid, yelling and shoving as they pushed each other up.

In the blink of an eye, the unlucky guy who had rushed out first was pinned down at the bottom by his own teammate.

"I'll fuck you all--!"

He let out a piercing wail.

When the group of people scrambled to their feet, grimacing, they found the Little Spiky Head lying motionless on the ground.

"Hello----"

"No way?! Isn't she stronger than steel?"

The five people weighed a total of just over 300 kilograms, but Miao Xin was able to easily withstand an impact of two tons without getting hurt during the test.

It's not that it couldn't go higher, it's that the researchers didn't dare to continue measuring.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their faces turned pale.

"Doctor! Where's the doctor?!"

Someone yelled at the top of their lungs, their voice distorted.

The lab technicians, dragging various detection equipment, rushed over and frantically examined the lying, unruly Little Spiky Head.

After a while.

One of them breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and said, "It's alright, the fluctuations are normal. Miss Qiu just went to another world for fun."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground.

Jin Rongjia's gaze swept over coldly, his face bearing a typical forced smile.

"You've gotten smarter, huh? You're committing a foul, aren't you?"

A sense of foreboding immediately arose in everyone's hearts.

"Double the penalty for everyone!"

With the penalty increased, that makes it a total of three times!

"Depend on!!!"

"No way!!!"

"It's almost lunchtime!"

"No food until you finish the run," Jin Rongjia said expressionlessly.

For a moment, cries of pain echoed throughout the sports field.

****

The space suddenly shifted.

Miao Xin's vision blurred for a moment, and when it stabilized again, she found herself transformed back into a non-human.

Looking around, all that could be seen were collapsed building ruins, broken walls and rubble stretching as far as the eye could see, firelight and smoke intertwined, and all sorts of unreal energy lights flickered wildly in the night.

Right in front of her, a huge humanoid figure pounced on her!

"Holy crap!"

Miao Xin screamed and quickly dodged to the side.

"How did I end up on a tokusatsu set? - What am I doing here?"

She looked at her bony claws.

"--Could I be Gomora?!"

The giant humanoid figure opposite them unleashed a straight punch, the force of which caused the air to explode.

Miao Xin reacted instinctively, quickly ducking down to dodge the punch from below.

The next second, she swung her claw back and scratched him hard!

Swish!

The bone dragon's claws, imbued with the chilling sharpness of red crystal, slammed solidly into the "divine puppet's" face, sparks flying everywhere.

The colossus was knocked back and stumbled several steps.

Zijin, having relinquished the burden of control, was overjoyed to see this and enthusiastically cheered, "Go, little crayfish!"

"You're the crayfish!" Miao Xin retorted.

Augustus was clearly annoyed by the sudden change in tactics, so he swung his hand and pulled up a half-collapsed building from the side, rounded it, and smashed it down!

"[Tail! Tail!] "Su Ming quickly reminded him.

The bone dragon's body jerked backward, letting the building that had been thrown at it whistle past its face.

Then, it flicked its long tail.

The sharp crystal blade at the tip of the tail drew a fierce arc and lashed out at the "divine puppet's" side!

Amidst the ear-piercing scraping sound, the surface of the colossus flashed with a chaotic light, and a large gash appeared on its waist.

"No wonder you're a former gymnast, you're smoother than both of us combined," Su Ming exclaimed sincerely. "I'll definitely hire you for this job again next time."

"There's a fee for boosting!" Miao Xin retorted angrily while continuing to pull the bone dragon.

"Then why don't you just become a partner?" Su Ming answered almost instantly, his tone practiced. "I'll also give you a share of Bone Dragon's shares."

You shameless bastard!

****

After suffering repeated setbacks, Augustus's face had turned completely black.

He raised his "Divine Puppet" arms, his palms and wrists simultaneously radiating blinding holy light, and began to rapidly gather the light of judgment, attempting to directly ambush Su Ming and Zijin behind him!

The two reacted extremely quickly, immediately floating downwards and hiding behind the bone dragon.

At the same time, the red crystals embedded in the bone dragon's body, activated by their Magic Power, shone brightly once more, like awakened crystalline veins spreading throughout its entire body!

With this assistance, Miao Xin was completely fearless and charged forward into the rapidly forming beam of judgment!

Augustus panicked, and the "god puppet" quickly tilted its arms!

He forcibly deflected the incoming beam of judgment, sweeping it to the side and carving a long, scorched ravine in the ground.

Several buildings along the way were struck in half and collapsed with a crash.

"Do I have any offensive skills?" Miao Xin asked enviously, "Like EX Super Vibration Wave or something."

"Sorry, you can only scratch with your claws," Su Ming replied crisply. "We've enhanced the Bone Dragon's physical and magical defense; other features are still under development. Please wait patiently for the next version."

"Little monsters have no human rights, huh?!"

Miao Xin lost her temper.

"Wait, the little monster doesn't even have monster rights, right?!"

She controlled the bone dragon to pounce, its body crashing down upon her.

Claws and fists clashed, and they once again engaged in a fierce battle with Augustus's "divine puppet"!
