They focused their eyes and saw it was that leg bone—they had actually been pulled into the mire by a single leg bone. They felt more and more things around them, as if countless leg bones and severed limbs were reaching out from the surrounding earth, dragging them down into the abyss.

"What's going on? What is this thing?" Li Haichuan shouted in terror.

"Be careful, this is a Skeleton Demon!" Shen Wanjin recognized the origin of these bones—these bones were the remains of Skeleton Demons.

"Skeleton Demon?" It was the first time Li Haichuan had heard that name.

"Yes, Skeleton Demons are one of the most dangerous demon beasts cultivators encounter in ruins. They are creatures created by necromancers; they not only possess powerful attack power, but can also strengthen themselves by absorbing the fresh blood and souls of living beings," Shen Wanjin explained.

"Then what do we do? How can we escape?" Li Haichuan asked anxiously.

"Skeleton Demons are creatures created by necromancers; only sacred power can destroy them," Shen Wanjin said.

"Sacred power? How can we obtain such power?" Li Haichuan asked.

Suddenly, they saw a beam of sacred light descend from the sky and fall upon them. That light brought them warmth and comfort, as if it were a blessing from the heavens.

Under the shroud of the sacred light, the bones of the Skeleton Demons gradually dissolved, and their feet slowly pulled free from the mire. They felt the power within their bodies being awakened by that sacred light, making them feel full of life and vigor.

"What's going on? What was that sacred light?" Li Haichuan asked.

"That should be the light of some mechanism or guardian deity within the ruins," Shen Wanjin guessed.

"Mechanism? Guardian deity? What does that mean?" Li Haichuan didn't understand.

"There are some mechanisms and guardian deities within the ruins, set up to protect the inheritances and opportunities within. That sacred light just now should be power released by the guardian deity, protecting us invaders," Shen Wanjin explained.

"I see, let's hurry and go find the inheritances and opportunities," Li Haichuan said. They advanced along the mysterious light, which seemed to be their guiding lamp, leading them deeper into the ruins.
