Chapter 148 Image of the Skeleton King
“What is happening?” Fei Yanbo was a bit puzzled. Why did he sense some fear mixed with the violence in the mind of the Abyss Snake?
Where did this fear… come from?
Was it because of this skeleton?
This skeleton was uncommon. Even so, it was still just a skeleton!
Fei Yanbo was less scared of the Little Skeleton. It wasn’t because he was a human being, but because the Little Skeleton had picked the Abyss Snake as the target.
This was a battle. Naturally, the strong one had to be dealt with first and then the weaker ones.
The bone blade in the Little Skeleton’s hand trembled. The blade seemed to be making mournful sounds.
All of its killing intent, violence and rage were pouring into the bone blade.
While Fei Yanbo was in a trance, the Little Skeleton suddenly took action.
It suddenly disappeared on the spot and within the split of a second, the Little Skeleton had re-emerged in midair right in front of the Abyss Snake’s head!
The Little Skeleton was only the size of this Abyss Snake’s pupil.
Those dark eyes reflected the image of the Little Skeleton who was well within reach. The Abyss Snake’s pupils shrank to the size of a needle eye immediately.
Hiss!!
The Abyss Snake was overwhelmed by a profound fear of death. It lost its mind. The evil aura underneath its scales surged out. The Abyss Snake opened its mouth and at that moment, it spat a thick burst of venom which was toxic enough to corrode even armored concrete within a rather short time!
However, right when the Abyss Snake spat the venom, the Little Skeleton changed its position in the air like a ghost!
The Little Skeleton dodged the venom and then leaped in the air to move away from the Abyss Snake’s huge mouth. Then it made its way to behind the Abyss Snake’s head. Before anyone noticed, the short bone blade the Little Skeleton was holding began to be surrounded by a dark aura; it grew to the size of a sword four to five meters long!
Poof. Black blood was spilled all over, gus.h.i.+ng out from the Abyss Snake’s mouth.
The excruciating pain made the Abyss Snake tumble around. There was a cut by the Abyss Snake’s mouth extending for over a dozen meters, all the way to its neck!
It was said that Abyss Snakes dwelled in the abyss of h.e.l.lish places and they grew up in harsh environments. That was why their scales were almost as tough as dragon scales!
Not even armor-piercing or rocket bullets could tear open those scales, not to mention ordinary swords and knives!
However, at this moment, those scales had been cut open as if they were pieces of paper. This wound was more than 10 meters long and deep enough to reveal flesh and bones. A large amount of black blood was oozing out and the smell was pungent.
On the ground, Fei Yanbo was rooted to the spot.
His mind was blank.
The Little Skeleton’s rapid speed had surprised him already. He was scared stiff by the time the Little Skeleton appeared in front of the Abyss Snake in the air. Right then, the miserable cries and that huge cut made him wonder if he was dreaming or hallucinating.
How could a ninth-rank, cruel Abyss Snake be hurt by a skeleton?!!
Fei Yanbo was not the only one stunned. Dong Mingsong, Luo Guxue, and all the others were also speechless. They were aware of how uncommon this Little Skeleton was, but they never expected to witness this level of power!
At the moment, considering its speed, strength, and that evil aura, the Little Skeleton was not weaker than a ninth rank pet. The former might outdo the latter, as a matter of fact! People would believe that the skeleton was a demon pet if not for its appearance!
Sitting next to Dong Mingsong were Zhou Yunchan, Luo Fengtian, and his fellow students. The word shocked was not enough to describe their feelings. They stared at the stage with wide-open eyes due to strong disbelief.
They had thought they were sure to win and would make a great comeback when they saw that the opponent was a skeleton. And yet, this sudden s.h.i.+ft was beyond their wildest imagination. Not only had the skeleton initiated the attack, it had also hurt the Abyss Snake in an instant.
The audience became silent.
This change of events caught them off guard. They just stared blankly at this queer scene and their minds were unable to comprehend it.
On the stage, neither the Little Skeleton nor the Abyss Snake stopped to think. After the Little Skeleton finished with this move, it did not land on the ground. Instead, the Little Skeleton made a turn in the air again with the dark energy surrounding it. The raging evil aura danced around the Little Skeleton and gradually, the image of a skeleton that was dozens of meters tall came into being behind the Little Skeleton.
