I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Xia Xi can float in the air with his bone hands, but compared with the little crow who is good at flying and is good at speed, it is not enough.Passive dodging is not Xia Xi's style, he chooses to attack actively.

Xia Xi looked around and chose a three-meter-high domed streetlight not far from the dormitory building.There is a smooth platform on the street lamp, and people can barely stand on it.

The rain was getting heavier, Xia Xi held Zhang Yang in her arms and stood on top of the street lamp.The thin figure was washed back and forth by the wind and heavy rain, making it look crumbling.

Below them, the sea slugs that had been paralyzed on the ground slowly gathered in the direction of the streetlight, as if they had smelled some signal.Although they moved slowly, in another three to five minutes, they probably climbed to the top of the street lamp.

It should be in time, Xia Xi freed up a pair of skeleton hands to catch her swallowed little crow.The unburdened skeleton hand finally caught up with the crow.

The two hands pinched the little crow, and when they were about to touch the little crow, they suddenly turned into half a birdcage. With a quick movement, the little crow was completely locked inside.The railings of the cage are moderately wide, and the little crow can stretch out its long, pointed beak, but it cannot escape from inside anyway.Xia Xi took the cage back into her hand and looked at it carefully.

The sea slug below is still two-thirds of the way from the top of the street lamp.

Not long after, Xia Xi discovered that a small group of transparent films had accumulated above the crow's tail feathers, like plastic bags that had been randomly crumpled together.Because the light is dim and it is raining heavily, it is not obvious from a distance, but it is quite easy to find when you get closer.

"Catch me and don't move around." Xia Xi instructed Zhang Yang in his robe.

"En." Zhang Yang obediently grabbed Xia Xi's robe, his small body trembling violently.

Xia Xi patted his head reassuringly, then stretched out her white-gloved hand towards the birdcage.

The little crow struggled violently, and kept attacking Xia Xi's hand with its beak and claws. The glove was torn into pieces, revealing the silver-white fingers inside.

Xia Xi finally grabbed the transparent bulge.He pulled hard through the cage, and the bulge was pulled out of a small gap. From the gap, Xia Xi saw that his little crow was connected by countless tiny suction cups, like a puppet being manipulated.

The birdcage disappeared at this moment, turning into a sharp bone knife and cutting the membrane along the direction of Xia Xi's finger, being careful not to hurt the little crow inside.Xia Xi took the little crow out of it, and tore off the sucker on the little crow. The little crow lay in Xia Xi's palm, covered with wet mucus, and seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

The disembowelled sea slug immediately abandoned the car to protect the handsome man, abandoned the injured body, and escaped alone with one head.

It's a pity that it was pierced by the flying bone knife before it fell to the ground. The bone knife turned back into a bone hand, and pulled out a pigeon egg-sized spar from the soft head of the sea slug.After the sea slug lost the spar, its transparent body gradually turned back to a translucent salt-white color, and it fell into the sea slug pile with a clatter.

Xia Xi put the spar back into his pocket in the cloak, his gaze still fixed on the little crow.

He touched it, and found that the little crow was still breathing, but it was relatively weak. There were no obvious wounds on his body, but he couldn't wake up no matter what.I don't know what happened.

"Wow!" Zhang Yang, who had always been quiet and obedient, suddenly let out an exclamation.Xia Xi lowered his head and found that the sea slugs had been stacked to a height of two meters. A white skeleton wrapped in a translucent film was stepping on the back of these sea slugs, walking towards Xia Xi, who was summoned to the ground by him earlier the one.

This skeleton is not as easy to catch as the little crow.It perfectly inherits the flexible mobility and powerful strength of the skeleton.Dodged Xia Xi's bone knife several times.

Seeing that more and more sea slugs were rushing upwards, they opened their transparent net-like membranes, trying to capture him together.

Xia Xi had no choice but to use the skeleton hand to pull herself into the air again.Unexpectedly, the skeleton swallowed by sea slugs on the ground suddenly summoned a thunderbolt, and struck at the skeleton hand on Xia Xi's body.

lightning?How could this skeleton be?

Judging from the situation where the sea slug devoured the little crow, Xia Xi guessed that the sea slug can use the ability of being swallowed and perfectly inherit the combat power of being swallowed, so when he found that the sea slug that devoured the skeleton inherited the characteristics of the skeleton, he did not surprise.

But his skeleton doesn't have spar installed in his body now, how can the skeleton sea slug use the human's lightning ability?

Xia Xi was slightly numbed by the thunder and lightning. He had to adjust the height of the suspension and hide in a position where the lightning could not hit. He was still thinking about the problem just now.

If he remembered correctly, when this undead used the crystal nucleus before, what he fused was the supernatural crystal nucleus of the lightning system.

An inspiration flashed through Xia Xi's mind.He finally realized his misunderstanding all along.People in this world store their powers in the crystal nucleus, so he also took it for granted that the skeleton that awakened the power should have its own power crystal nucleus.

But in fact, although the supernatural crystal nucleus that Xia Xi forcibly stuffed into the middle of the bone can be used, it is not the power of the skeleton itself after all.Just like these sea slugs devouring the abilities, they can absorb and use these abilities, but once the person who provides the energy inside leaves, they will be beaten back to their original state.

But Xia Xi's skeletons are different from these sea slugs that can only devour other people's abilities. They have supernatural powers in their bodies, and their supernatural powers are hidden in their bones, just like Xia Xi in the form of skeletons.

In order to prove this idea, Xia Xi summoned the guard skeletons who are good at wind element abilities.Half of the white bones crawled out from the ground, startling a large group of sea slugs around, and they couldn't wait to spread their trapping nets as thin as cicada's wings, waiting to devour the new prey.

"Use the wind ability."

Xia Xi tried to communicate with the guard and asked him to dispatch the wind ability in his bones.

The reason for choosing the guard is because the skeleton who has awakened the ability before guarding the health should be more handy in controlling the ability than the skeleton that has not used the ability.

The guard did not disappoint Xia Xi. There was a strange fluctuation of abilities on his body, which was different from all the ability users or creatures with crystal nuclei. The ability flowed evenly in every bone in his body, as if These bones are all made of supernatural crystals.

The strong wind turned into blades and tore apart the catch nets one by one. The guard skeletons waved the wind weapon snatched from Zou Qing, and chopped up several sea slugs close to them.

The guard skeleton then used the ability to clear the surrounding area for Xia Xi to summon more skeletons.

Skeletons lifted the granite slabs and climbed onto the ground one by one.Zhang Yang in Xia Xi's arms hid back, as if frightened by this scene.

"Afraid?" Xia Xi asked.

"No!" Although his voice was still trembling, Zhang Yang seemed much calmer than when the sea slug appeared.He raised his head and replied seriously: "I know, they were brought by my brother to help us."

"Ah."

Under Xia Xi's attempts again and again, more skeletons drew out the supernatural powers in their bodies, and under Xia Xi's command, they cooperated with each other to attack the surrounding sea slugs.

After trying several attacks, Xia Xi also found that, in comparison, the fire ability has the most obvious and thorough attack power on sea slugs, and the sea slugs that are burned will directly melt into a puddle of water.

Then a cluster of flames hit the skeleton wrapped in sea slugs, and the membrane on the skeleton's body seemed to melt and fall off.The neurotoxin had no effect on the skeleton, and after the skeleton regained its freedom, the connection with Shahi that had been directly severed was re-established.

Xia Xi wasn't worried about accidentally injuring the skeletons. After all, the skeletons' ability resistance was quite good, and this bit of fire wouldn't cause any damage to them.

When Jing Lan dragged her poisoned body to the vicinity of the dormitory building, Xia Xi had led a group of skeletons to completely stabilize the situation. Twenty white skeletons crushed the surrounding black sea slugs and retreated steadily.Their attacks are relentless. Occasionally, a sea slug succeeds in a sneak attack and swallows a certain skeleton, and the engulfed fireball will immediately release the swallowed skeleton.

The sea slugs being crushed had to choose another less efficient attack method, and they began to spit at the skeleton in front of them... no, they spit mucus.The sea slug sucked the rainwater from the ground into its stomach, swelled into big round balls, and then sprayed mucus in the direction of the skeleton like a water gun.The slime glues the skeleton's bones together, restricting their movement and making them sluggish like sea slugs, and the slime doesn't seem to be diluted by rain at all.

The nudibranchs then chose to swim farther away from Shahi and his skeletons.

Staring at the calm figure in the rain curtain, Jing Lan felt a little dazed.

In the apocalypse, he possesses abilities far superior to other supernatural beings, and he always subconsciously puts others in a position that needs protection.But at this moment he had to recognize a problem once again: Xia Xi had grown very strong after leaving him, and would become stronger and stronger in the future, even surpassing him. Xia Xi didn't need his protection.

This realization made Jing Lan a little disappointed, but it also made him feel at ease.

That's right, if it weren't for her strong strength, Xia Xi might not live to meet him at all.He is not a weak domestic cat that needs to rely on the strong to survive. He has his own fangs and claws, and has a strong sense of fighting.

He no longer belongs to Jing Lan, he belongs to anyone, but Jing Lan couldn't help but her heart beat faster.He found that he still couldn't help but be moved by Xia Xi.

Xia Xi, who suppressed the audience like a ghost in the rain, was for this reason.

Just like every afternoon when the two of them were together before the end of the world, when he woke up from his nap and saw Xia Xi who was lazily nestling on a soft chair on the balcony basking in the sun, his heart moved.

Xia Xi noticed Jing Lan's existence and leaned towards him.The slime doesn't work very well with flames, and it turns into a dry, jelly-like substance that clings to the bone.Xia Xi loves to be clean. If possible, he hopes that every skeleton under his command is clean and beautiful.

He was worrying about how to clean up the mucus, Jing Lan was simply a labor force delivered to his door.

"Do me a favor." Xia Xi pushed Zhang Yang into Jing Lan's arms very naturally, and said, "My skeleton is covered with mucus from sea slugs, so it's not easy to clean."

Cleaning up the slime is a piece of cake for Jing Lan. He only needs to release a very low concentration of mist to melt away the slime without harming the skeleton.

But the child suddenly stuffed in his arms made him a little at a loss.

——Jing Lan has learned a lot in the ten years of the last days, but none of them include how to take care of a human cub.

In fact, as soon as he looked down at the child who was a head taller than his knees, the other party cried out with a "wow".

"Don't cry." Jing Lan ordered in a cold voice.

Zhang Yang cried even louder.This uncle is so fierce, he looked in Xia Xi's direction as if asking for help.Although brother cloak was a bit cold, he just protected himself.Zhang Yang wanted to stay with him even more.

"Cough" Xia Xi cruelly ignored Zhang Yang's eyes asking for help, and said to Jing Lan in a businesslike tone, "It's the child of Teacher Song Qiao's family. You hand him over to Song Qiao or Chaomo."

"Aren't you going?" Jing Lan raised her head and asked.

"I..." Xia Xi hesitated for a moment. Since he activated the ability of the first skeleton, his body has gradually transformed into a fourth-level state.That is to say, in the next period of time, he will grow new skin and internal organs, and become a human again.According to Xia Xi's experience, this process is much faster than turning into a skeleton before, and the transformation can be completed in about a day.He may lose consciousness during this process.Xia Xi wanted to find a place where no one was around to complete the transformation.He didn't want too many people to know that he was Xia Xi's business.

As Zou Qing said, a person who has never appeared in a previous life coupled with an ability that has never been seen in a previous life is too suspicious no matter how you think about it.

Jing Lan noticed the dying crow in Xia Xi's arms, and guessed that it had also been swallowed by sea slugs: "We are going to gather in the laboratory to make an antidote for neurotoxins. This toxin will kill you in a few hours, and you need to detoxify it as soon as possible." .”

"Then trouble you." So Xia Xi stuffed the little crow into Jing Lan's arms.Turn around and prepare to leave.

"Where are you going?" Jing Lan asked again: "Is your body about to recover?"

Xia Xi paused.Jing Lan is always so keen, he only said that his body can recover, but he thought of it so quickly.

Seeing Xia Xi's reaction, Jing Lan realized that he had guessed correctly, and continued to persuade: "There are slugs everywhere outside now, it's too dangerous for you to stay outside by yourself. If you fall into a coma, those skeletons that only rely on instinct can't deal with all kinds of things. accidents."

Xia Xi tugged at the hood: "I will try to find a place where there are no people."

But Jing Lan said: "You are not familiar with this place, it rains so much, and there are sea slugs everywhere, how do you find them?"

Xia Xi couldn't answer for a while.He looked up and saw that the dark eyes in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, mixed with complex emotions that Xia Xi couldn't understand.

Jing Lan said: "Let me help you? I know your identity, and there is no risk of leaking it. You go to the research room of the main teaching building with me first. After you get the antidote, I will take you to a place that is safe enough." place, making sure that your recovery process is not seen by anyone."

"No..." Xia Xi still wanted to refuse, so forget about being busy.He didn't want to confuse Jing Lan with this kind of matter, they had already broken up.

"Take it as helping me." Jing Lan said again.His eyes were full of soft pleas: "I just want peace of mind, you can treat me as an atonement, I watched your body turn into a skeleton, and I always wanted to take another look at your recovered appearance. I promise I won't do anything, and I won't pester you."

"No need." Xia Xi still rejected him, compared to the risk of being alone, Xia Xi didn't want to get confused with her ex-boyfriend.

But just after he said this, the 1.9-meter-tall young man in front of him suddenly lay back on his back, hit the ground with a bang, and fell into a coma.
