Chapter 302 (Inspiration Capsule Extra - )
This was all money!
But very quickly, Adam noticed something amiss, these skeletons didn’t seem to be randomly scattered on the ground.
There was a pattern, Adam immediately slashed forward in all four cardinal directions, clearing a path a short distance in each.
He understood now, the density of the skeletons followed a specific rule, it formed a mysterious circle, the closer to the center, the higher the density of skeletons.
"Then where is the center of the circle?" Adam looked in a certain direction, locking onto a target.
"Cecilia, follow me!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Cecilia didn’t know what her Young Master was planning, but following him was enough.
Every set distance, Adam would cut down some Sword Grass to check the distribution of skeletons on the ground.
The more he cut, the heavier his heart became, his mental estimate of the death toll had already surpassed tens of thousands, this place was like a mass grave.
Finally, after completely filling up yet another storage bag, Adam found the center of the circle.
Here, the skeletons were practically stacked on top of each other.
The Sword Grass was forced to grow through the cracks between bones, beneath the skeletons, there appeared to be a patch of blood-red soil, entirely different from the dirt everywhere else.
"Looks like I’ll have to disturb these skeletons after all!" Adam took a deep breath, a different variable had finally appeared, so he had to take a risk.
"Spring Radiance!" The sword qi slashed directly down onto the densely packed pile of skeletons.
Adam had expected some resistance, but those skeletons were instantly pulverized into fine powder, and beneath them grew several black flowers.
The petals of these flowers, much like the blades of the Sword Grass, were shaped exactly like swords.
However, these flowers possessed not a single trace of vitality, they looked like completely dead objects.
"These are Sword Flowers!" Looking at these black blossoms, Adam’s eyes first flashed with joy, then quickly shifted to confusion.
Sword Flowers, like Sword Grass, were exceptional materials for forging precious swords.
Moreover, the effects of Sword Flowers were significantly superior to Sword Grass, even more importantly, Sword Flowers could act as a catalyst, allowing one to comprehend the Sword Lotus.
It was just that Sword Flowers, like Sword Grass, had long been extinct, he never expected to actually see them here.
But the state of these Sword Flowers was far too strange.
They should be brimming with vibrant life, just like the Sword Grass, so why were these flowers so lifeless and deathly still? One look and you could tell they weren’t anything good.
Suddenly, Cecilia’s sharp scream rang out, interrupting Adam’s train of thought.
"Young Master, the skeletons are moving!"
Hearing Cecilia’s warning, Adam immediately looked at the ground around the Sword Flowers, those skeletons were actually slowly reassembling.
"Retreat first!" Adam pulled Cecilia back, not making any rash moves.
The skeletons reassembled themselves into complete corpses, these corpses had no flesh or blood, only ghastly white bones, yet they could actually piece themselves back together, it was simply too bizarre.
The corpses stood up from the ground and took to the air, flying straight at Adam and Cecilia, although they lacked flesh, the weapons in their hands were of all shapes and sizes, all entirely made of white bone, some held swords, some held spears, and some even held bows.
"Kill!" Adam let out an explosive shout, swinging the Yellow Emperor’s Sword directly at the skeleton charging at the front.
A sharp sound of colliding metal rang out, fortunately, the combat strength of these white bone skeletons wasn’t very high, it was cleanly cleaved in two.
However, before Adam could rejoice, the skeleton that had fallen in two pieces actually began to reassemble itself again.
Adam’s expression shifted, this was going to be troublesome, the number of skeletons on this Sword Grass plain was virtually uncountable, if they were all immortal like this, he and Cecilia would very likely be exhausted to death here.
A cold light flashed from Cecilia’s blade, and a skeleton in front of her was slashed into tiny fragments, this time, it didn’t reassemble.
"Young Master, they won’t regenerate if they’re chopped into pieces!" Cecilia shouted immediately.
Adam nodded, but he remained unoptimistic, he had to find a way to leave this Sword Grass plain, otherwise, even if he chopped all these skeletons into fragments, they still wouldn’t be able to leave.
Adam and Cecilia cooperated flawlessly, even though the incoming skeletons were densely packed, the master and servant were temporarily able to handle them with ease, but as shattered fragments on the ground grew more numerous, the endless tide of skeletons besieging them didn’t seem to decrease in the slightest.
"Young Master, this isn’t a solution!" Cecilia’s face was somewhat flushed, prolonged, continuous combat was draining her spiritual energy severely.
"We can’t keep going like this, our spiritual energy will completely dry up," she shouted as she swung a streak of sword qi, shattering a skeleton firing cheap shots from a distance.
Adam furrowed his brows tightly, there had to be a key to breaking this deadlock, there must be something he had overlooked, his brain spun frantically.
Suddenly, he looked down at those lifeless Sword Flowers, although they were covered layer upon layer by skeletons, Adam keenly noticed that the stems were faintly glowing with a crimson, bloody light, something was wrong.
"Spring Radiance!" Adam violently swung the Yellow Emperor’s Sword.
The skeletons in front were instantly cleared out, all turning into shattered fragments raining down, soon, Adam cleaved away the entire pile, fully exposing the black Sword Flowers hidden inside.
Looking at the Sword Flowers on the ground, Adam’s eyes were full of doubt, these Sword Flowers had clearly gone extinct long ago.
Why would they appear here, and in such a bizarre state? What exactly was going on with these skeletons? Why could they still reassemble after being dead for so many years, and even possess the strength they had in life? This was far too abnormal.
But no matter what, he had to try slashing these Sword Flowers to see what would happen.
Adam swiftly swung the Yellow Emperor’s Sword, and terrifying sword qi slashed directly at the Sword Flowers, right at the moment the sword qi touched the petals, the stems of these lifeless Sword Flowers suddenly straightened sharply.
