Chapter 181

"What, did the Skull General get demoted?"

Upon seeing the chubby little skeleton, everyone burst into jeers.

They recognized it as a common bloodline, with an adult rank of Bai Yin.

Its ability is possessing a certain level of combat technique.

It's a decent beginner magical beast.

"Cough, cough, listen to me—it's just that its potential has dropped now, but one day it will grow into a Skull General!"

"Damn it, look at my sincere eyes—do you think I'd lie to you?"

"Sorry, can you take off your sunglasses before you speak?"

Everyone burst into jeers.

Clearly, they didn't believe the man's words.

"I'm telling you, I knew best—I saw with my own eyes how that Skull General appeared!"

Inside the tavern, a chubby little boy spoke seriously.

"Then you tell us—what exactly happened back then, Lu Zhenxiang!" Everyone recognized the chubby boy as a member of the Divine Wind Team.

It was said they had gone to the Bone Forest.

The proof is they brought back three Green Flame Life Sources.

That is a rare resource said to be born only in the graves of Skull Generals.

Given to a magical beast's bones to consume.

It can form a new type of undead magical beast.

Some have even used vast quantities of Life Source to revive a Bone Dragon. "Alright, listen to me!"

"When we entered that tomb, our team encountered the Flame Commander!" "Just as we were about to die!" "Can you guess what happened?"

"At that moment, a Demon God appeared—he was eight feet tall, and eight feet around the waist!" "With just one glance, the Flame Commander turned into a pile of shattered bones!" The chubby boy described it vividly.

Everyone was stunned! "Real or fake?" Some still looked doubtful.

"Real or fake? Would I lie to you?"

"At that time, that Demon God wasn't satisfied—he walked up to the Skull General's grave." "With one step, the Skull General jumped up in fright!"

"Woken from sleep, the Skull General was of course furious—it roared loudly, and mountains cracked and earth split!" "Then, on the Demon God's shoulder, a tiny figure suddenly grew dozens of meters tall!" "Aaaoo!"

"With a heart-shaking roar, a giant dragon appeared!" "It looked down upon the Skull General, and instantly the Skull General withered!" "It immediately knelt and begged for mercy!"

"But it was useless—he had angered the Demon God! Suddenly, a beautiful woman appeared beside the Demon God!"

"Her face made all women in the world pale in comparison."

"With just one glance, the Skull General vanished into ash before our eyes!"

The chubby boy spoke as if it were all true, and presented various pieces of evidence.

Instantly, everyone believed him seven-tenths.

"Could a Demon God really exist?"

"Too terrifying—only a Demon God could make a Skull General beg for mercy!"

Everyone's expressions had shifted from surprise to shock.

Cold sweat broke out on their backs.

It felt as if they themselves had been there at that moment.

Imagining the Demon God's terrifying gaze, they all shuddered involuntarily.

"Master, does a Demon God really exist?"

A short distance away, in a corner of the tavern, a middle-aged man and a young man were drinking.

Listening to the tavern's idle chatter.

"Of course not—how could such a thing exist!"

"Probably just some Beast Tamer—and whether that Skull General even appeared is highly doubtful!"

An Youqi sneered—he didn't believe this ridiculous tale at all!

"But we're searching for Purple Flame Life Source—perhaps they can tell us the location of the Skull General's tomb!"

An Youqi looked at Lu Zhenxiang, who was proudly telling his story.

"Young Master, according to that man's tale, he might have encountered a powerful Beast Tamer!"

"Could there really be a Beast Tamer that powerful?"

Walking along a forest path.

After hearing the chubby boy's story, Fan Wei couldn't help but sigh.

One punch—using only his physical body—he directly killed a Platinum-ranked magical beast.

And he even controlled a Dragon-type magical beast, making the Skull General vanish.

"Do you believe it? Even the strongest Beast Tamer in Ancient Zhoucheng couldn't kill a Platinum-ranked magical beast with sheer physical force!"

"And that magical beast was the Flame Commander—it has a fear effect; even a Diamond-ranked Beast Tamer would have their control weakened just by approaching it." "Probably just a bunch of mercenaries exaggerating their own prowess—fabricated the whole thing!"

"Only children believe this stuff—we'll go there ourselves and verify the truth!"

"But since they gave us the location of the Skull General's tomb, there's no need to expose him." An Youqi smiled, slightly dismissive… Several hours later!

An Youqi and Fan Wei arrived inside a vast tomb ruin.

They stared in stunned silence at the surrounding scene.

The massive tomb had collapsed.

Everywhere were signs of destruction.

Inside the tomb, countless bones still glowed.

Some skeletons still had a wisp of soul fire, still squirming on the ground. "This... is this something a human can do?" "Could that little fatty have been telling the truth all along!" They were horrified! The scene before them truly seemed as if a war between gods and demons had just taken place.

Ruins everywhere.

However!

It seemed all the marks were left by one side being beaten.

At this moment!

Inside Holy Dragon Village!

A group of children had gathered together.

Seemingly discussing something.

"Hey, little skeleton, are you really that amazing?"

"No matter how I look at it, you're just an ordinary skeleton!" In front of a group of children stood a half-meter-tall skeleton.

It looked a little chubby, and looked almost exactly like the skeleton soldier from the tavern earlier.

If not for the gold-red soul fire emanating from its eye sockets.

"Damn it, I'm a Diamond-rank creature, don't you look down on me!" The shrunken Skeleton General's eyes overflowed with flames.

It seemed to have gotten angry.

However, its plump little body, plus its half-person-tall stature.

Was about the same as a child's.

It didn't make people feel the slightest bit of fear.

Instead, it was a little cute.

"Oh? Diamond-rank?"

"But how come you can't even beat my Little White and Little Black!"

A child carrying two basin-sized turtles, one black and one white, said with a face full of righteousness.

It was Xiaohu, who had earlier obtained the Black Water Tortoise through Chen Xuan's command. "This!"

Instantly, the Skeleton General was at a loss for words.

It wasn't that it couldn't beat them, but its master had ordered it not to harm anyone in the village.

Not only could it not harm them, it had to protect them!

And it couldn't casually revert to its original form inside the village.

The reason was, its appearance was too scary.

Regarding this!

The Skeleton General did not dare to have any complaints.

Thinking of its master, it couldn't help but shudder.
