Chapter 38 "Bone Giant"

Li Xue, who was thrown towards the rock wall by Li Hao, quickly turned in the air, inserted her right hand into the rock wall to stop her descent, and pulled out a dagger from her lower leg with her left hand. With both hands holding the knives, she slowly climbed upward.
After releasing the shattered bones in his embrace, Li Hao also felt weak in his legs. Besides his facial features, which were still visible, the rest of his body was covered in blood, with grotesque and irregular wounds all over his upper body, still oozing blood.
Li Hao was panting heavily as he stepped onto the pile of broken bones, which had already piled up over one meter high. Leaning against the rock wall, he silently stared at the skeleton ghosts, who were ready for the next wave of attacks.
Li Xue, who was still struggling to move forward on the rock wall, felt a tightening in her heart when she saw Li Hao confronting all the skeleton ghosts. This was their last hope. Li Hao was buying her time. If Li Hao fell before she could reach the top, then they would all be stuck here.
"Damn it!" Li Xue cursed as she knew time was running out. She stopped distracting herself and frantically moved towards the ground above her, while the skull ghosts below were still keeping a close watch on Li Hao and finally charged towards him.
Li Hao, who is already at his last breath, can only fight with all his strength to stop the advancing skeletons. It's not Li Hao sacrificing himself for others, but Li Xue is the only one capable of climbing up there. The most important thing is that now, the failure of the mission is possible no matter who dies.

Li Xue died, Li Hao is trapped here and will die, Li Hao died, Li Xue cannot complete the mission alone with only her own strength.
"F*ck me..." Li Hao was ultimately overwhelmed by the four hands with his fists alone, even his voice was drowned out by a cacophony of bone friction. Luckily, although there were numerous skeleton ghosts, their quality was quite disappointing; those bones were not even as strong as those of normal people.

In this situation, even though Li Hao was being pushed forward by a group of skeletons, he could still stop the momentum. After a few punches broke the front few skeleton ghosts, temporarily relieving the situation, the next wave of skeleton ghosts caught up and pushed Li Hao back a few steps. This cycle repeated, and Li Hao struggled in the sea of skeletons for a while.
Li Xue is only two meters away from the ground at this time, but these two meters are a matter of life and death. Li Hao has been completely submerged by the skeleton, with only his head visible. His limbs are all blocked by white bones, and it seems that Li Hao can't hold on for long.
已经被压制在岩壁上的李豪，只感觉四肢乃至整个身体都被无数东西压着，连勉强动一下都不行，无数尖锐的骨头划过肌肤，要不是李豪皮厚，估计早死了。
But even so, Li Hao cannot escape death, and even this feeling of slowly tearing his body apart is no less painful than being drawn and quartered.
Just when Li Hao thought it was all over, there was another familiar roar, and a tremendous force lifted Li Hao off the ground and quickly slammed him back onto the bridge, instantly relieving the pressure on his body.
It turned out to be Fat Biao once again unleashing his power, detonating three abacus calculators at once. If it weren't for Li Hao being tightly surrounded by numerous skeletons, he probably would have been blown up on the spot.
With this explosion, all the skeleton ghosts around Li Hao turned into broken bones and scattered on the ground. The bridge surface three meters away from Li Hao was blasted off, instantly making Li Hao an independent corner.
And Li Xue finally stepped onto the ground, only to hear Li Xue's excited shout, "Hurry, catch the rope!" Li Hao looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a rope as thick as three fingers hanging down.
As I glanced again at Fat Biao on the other end of the broken bridge, he sat cross-legged on the bridge with his eyes bursting with energy, pinching his index fingers. At this moment, the skeletons around Li Hao were all blown away, and the remaining skeletons all moved towards Fat Biao.
Obviously, Fatty's situation will become even more dangerous than Li Hao and Li Xue, not to mention that he is not mobile. Fatty also knows that he probably won't survive, he just glanced at the exhausted Li Hao and calmly said, "As practitioners of the Dao, we have never feared death. I have escaped from evil creatures several times, which has brought shame to the Dao. Today, I will not run away. You go up, leave this place to me!"
Coming out of Fu Biao's mouth, Li Hao couldn't believe that it was said by this greasy middle-aged man. However, there was no time to think too much. Li Hao directly grabbed the rope above his head with both hands, while Li Xue also exerted force to pull the rope. At this point, they could only rely on Li Xue to pull him up, as Li Hao had completely lost the ability to climb up on his own.
Li Xue is also very satisfied with the choice of Fatty. She also wants to save Li Hao because Li Hao is much stronger than Fatty in strength. Lack of experience is a disadvantage, but it is also an advantage.
As Li Hao gradually left the ground, the Skeleton Ghost became restless. After a while, there was only one person left among the three. The enraged Skeleton Sea surged towards the Fat Man, and the white bones in the entire river channel surged like waves, creating a spectacular scene.
In the face of such a powerful attack, Feibiao just smiled faintly, with a hint of regret and relief in his eyes.
"Master's teachings about self-sacrifice had always seemed like a joke to me, but now I have become that joke. No matter, I am just a worthless person. Let me go crazy one last time!" Feibiao looked at the skeletal ghosts that had already surrounded him tightly, smiled calmly, touched his injured leg, and silently took out two bright red abacuses from his body.
"After struggling in this haunted building for so long, I still can't escape, is this karma, Master?" Fat Biao raised two abacuses, grabbed them abruptly, and the entire bone bridge beneath was instantly covered in red light, like a nuclear bomb explosion, time seemed to stand still, and the powerful impact instantly blasted Li Hao onto the ground.
Li Xue was also knocked down by the shock wave and the two people lying on the ground vaguely heard a voice: "I guess I didn't disgrace my sect after all, how delightful!" A very carefree voice.
Cough cough... Li Hao and Li Xue struggled to stand up from the ground. Li Xue was only slightly injured from the fall, but Li Hao's back was blown into a blurry mess, his flesh and blood completely destroyed. However, compared to the ruins beneath the bone bridge, Li Hao was already very satisfied.
Li Xue supported Li Hao, who was already close to fainting. In this battle, Fei Bao also died, died heroically, but at this moment no one mourned for him. The deceased had passed away, and the living still faced the test of death.
"Is it over?" Li Hao asked, panting, as his consciousness slightly cleared.
"It's over!" Li Xue replied calmly, with a hint of melancholy in her tone, but she controlled it well, at least Li Hao didn't sense it.
"No, what is that!" Just when Li Hao thought he could peacefully pass out, Li Xue's voice filled with surprise and even a hint of panic resounded once again. Li Hao silently sighed, understanding that they were probably encountering some trouble again, and he was tired too.
Li Hao struggled to lift his eyelids, only to see a huge white bone claw extending from the ruins of the bridge, estimated to be able to grip two people at once. At this moment, Li Hao understood what despair meant.
"Forget it, you go ahead, I just want to get a good night's sleep," Li Hao said calmly when he saw this incredible scene. This time, he couldn't think of any way to escape with just two stragglers.
Uh...The sound of a ghost wailing like a tsunami came crashing in. The giant skeletal claw tore through the rubble, and a giant skeleton ghost, towering over ten meters high, emerged from the ruins. The terrifying aura instantly suffocated Li Xue, making it hard for her to breathe.
After looking at the giant skeleton ghost that had climbed up easily, and then glancing at the drowsy Li Hao, Li Xue eventually gritted her teeth and prepared to make a direct getaway.
Unfortunately, the first target of this giant skeleton ghost was Li Xue, who still had mobility. In the instant Li Xue moved, a smack came flying towards her, turning Li Xue's proud speed into a joke. Li Hao only saw Li Xue just take off and get smacked down like swatting a mosquito, effortlessly.
< li >Li Xue, who was almost killed by a slap, lay motionless on the ground, while the monster turned its huge skull, as big as a car, towards Li Hao, who was still standing. Li Hao stared into its empty eyes and smiled, saying, "You could have easily dealt with us, but instead you give us hope. How boring!"< /li >
The Skeleton Ghost grabbed Li Hao by the hand and lifted him up like a doll in front of his own face. At this moment, Li Hao's consciousness became completely clear, and he didn't feel much pain from his injuries. He was not afraid of death, but he felt a bit unwilling.
Boom! The giant skeleton demon did not give Li Hao any chance, and slapped him directly on the ground. The whole earth cracked in an instant, and Li Hao was buried in the soil along with the giant skeleton claw.
