A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 229 Mutation

"Ugh!"

A mournful howl pierced the air, echoing through the silent forest. A faint green light, appearing here and there, in front and behind, was everywhere; it was countless evil spirits turning back and rushing towards the only flesh-and-blood body in the scene.

Having lived two extraordinary lives, Jiao had seen such ghosts on a pirate ship before. Now, facing them again, he couldn't help but gasp. White ghostly figures surrounded him from all sides, coming one after another, overwhelming him. But before he could react, the countless ghostly figures pressed down like thick, eerie clouds. Suddenly, he tripped, his foot throbbing with pain, and he almost fell to the ground.

Startled, he quickly looked down and saw two enormous ghostly hands rising from the soil beneath his feet, firmly gripping his feet. The ghostly claws were so sharp they seemed about to pierce his blood vessels. Of the eight ghostly spirits that had surrounded him, only four remained; the other four had vanished without a trace.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

In mid-air, countless evil spirits cheered and roared as they swarmed forward, their greedy mouths tearing at the tiny body as if it were parched land receiving sweet rain.

Chao Bufan's face was pale, and his muscles seemed to be twisted. He endured the excruciating pain and quickly drew a hand seal in front of his body. His divine bone rose into the air and flashed through a wall of light with a "whoosh" sound. The faint purple light then burst into a bright flash.

The first few evil spirits that rushed down couldn't stop their momentum and crashed into the wall of light. Before they could even scream, they immediately turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared.

At the same time, Chao Bufan's body suddenly trembled again. He looked down and saw that the ghost claw, like a sharp blade, had already cut through his skin, and bright red blood flowed out, flowing onto the black ghost claw.

The fresh, sweet, bloody aroma immediately filled the air.

Chao Bufan paused for a moment, and the countless shrieking spirits flying in the sky also paused for a moment.

Upon smelling the blood, countless evil spirits roared and swooped down, pouncing on the sweet flesh and blood.

But in that biting wind, he raised his head and roared like an angry lion, all his anger erupting at that moment.

The divine bone fell down, and he grabbed it, ignoring the evil spirits above. His eyes widened, and a faint red light flickered within them.

He used all his strength to push the divine bone down upside down!

"puff!"

From the depths of the earth, a muffled sound rang out, barely audible amidst the countless wails and howls of ghosts. Yet, with just this muffled sound, all the spirits above suddenly ceased, their faces filled with fear, as if what lay before them was the legendary furnace where souls were forged.

In the darkness, it seemed that only the light of the divine bones shone brightly, never extinguished!

In the distance, the red skull in front of Su Haijun suddenly let out a painful howl, followed by a low, crisp sound. The huge skull suddenly split in two, with the left half falling to the ground and vanishing into nothingness.

Su Haijun's expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked up and saw that Chao Bufan had already broken the four life ghosts in his spirit control formation.

"Damn!"

Su Haijun cursed loudly, his anger reaching its peak. Without hesitation, he repeatedly pointed his staff at the half of the red skull in front of him.

Suddenly, the half-skull opened its half-mouth and sucked in with great force, drawing in countless ghosts and monsters.

"be surprised!"

In terror, countless ghosts and spirits howled and fled in all directions, white shadows flying wildly and ghostly cries echoing. Clearly, none of them wanted to become food for the red skull.

However, in an instant, the thousands upon thousands of ghosts and monsters in the air were completely devoured by the red skull, like a whale sucking in water, leaving not a single one alive.

The sky returned to darkness, like a giant cauldron looming overhead.

It was quiet all around, with a gentle breeze blowing by, making it feel cool!

Without the disturbance of ghosts and spirits, Chao Bufan felt a sense of relief. However, the ground around him suddenly sank to a depth of half a meter. Glancing at it, he saw that the ghost claws that had been gripping his feet slowly loosened and then turned into powder and fell to the ground.

I estimate that by next spring, this place will be covered with lush vegetation!

Before Chao Bufan could even breathe a sigh of relief, the remaining four ghostly creatures roared in unison and transformed into four beams of white light, plunging into the skull's mouth. He was horrified and about to resist when suddenly a red light flashed, as swift as lightning, and the flickering skull was right in front of him. Upon seeing it, he was instantly horrified, goosebumps rising all over his body. The half-skull he had previously possessed was now completely intact, and even more terrifyingly, he now had a glowing red bone body. The eerie skeleton emanated a chilling aura, and once again, it opened its gaping maw to bite him.

Startled, Chao Bufan was about to leap up when he felt a sharp pain in his foot, aggravating his previous injury. He lost his balance and couldn't dodge. The red skull's five fingers formed claws and gripped heavily on his chest.

Chao Bufan's body trembled violently. In an instant, he saw that the originally withered skeleton on the ghost hand suddenly seemed to be infused with blood. It actually grew flesh and blood and became plump.

Chao Bufan felt a wave of dizziness, and all the blood in his body surged and flowed back to the wound in his chest.

When the monster grabbed him, his chest was covered in a bloody mess. The excruciating pain made him groan and his facial muscles twitch.

Seeing Chao Bufan under his control, Su Haijun couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahahaha... Chao Bufan, you've finally met your match! How about it? Did you enjoy the blow from my vengeful ghost?"

At this moment, Chao Bufan's blood was flowing backwards, causing him unbearable pain.

His mind gradually became hazy, and he could only struggle with his last bit of strength, relying on the divine bone to kneel on one knee, trying his best not to fall.

Su Haijun completely disregarded him, inwardly exhilarated, and snorted, thinking to himself: "I thought you were so powerful, but you're nothing special! No, I can't let him get away with this so easily. I'll torture him bit by bit until he dies." He glanced inadvertently at the divine bone in Chao Bufan's hand and thought again: "This guy may not have any other skills, but this magical artifact he holds is very strange, it looks exactly like… a human backbone." Never mind, I'll just take this bone-like thing back and study it carefully later.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. Chao Bufan abruptly raised the divine bone and struck the hand that was gripping his chest.
