Chapter 431: Jade Skeleton
Chapter 431: Jade Skeleton
Li Qian focused intently on the murals near the top, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
According to the murals, these humanoid monsters were insane, devoid of reason, and would attack any life they encountered.
Numerous Rong people and their companion beasts had perished at the hands of these humanoid monsters.
Observing the murals, Li Qian seemed to understand why the canine beasts that had escaped would attack them without hesitation.
With his brows furrowed, it wasn't long before Li Qian climbed to the top.
The top level wasn't spacious, only about forty to fifty square meters.
Inside, there was nothing but a skeleton sitting cross-legged.
This skeleton was different from the others; it wasn't purely white but had a faint green glow amidst the whiteness, resembling jade.
Moreover, from the skeleton's appearance, Li Qian could determine that it was the remains of a Rong person.
"Was that sound just now coming from it?" Li Qian wondered, examining the jade skeleton before him.
"Come closer, future human!" Just as Li Qian was carefully observing the jade skeleton, the strange psychic communication sounded again.
Undoubtedly, the voice was coming from the skeleton.
Seeing this, Li Qian's face revealed a hint of vigilance.
He circled the jade skeleton, staring intently, and finally, he concluded that the skeleton probably posed no danger.
With this in mind, he didn't waste any more time and reached out to test.
"Hiss!"
Li Qian controlled his fingers, cautiously touching the jade skeleton, certain that nothing unexpected would happen.
After all, he had already touched it with a bamboo stick earlier without any incident.
As Li Qian thought this, the next moment, the instant his finger touched the jade skeleton, a chill ran through his body like an electric shock, instantly spreading throughout his limbs and bones.)
Immediately, Li Qian felt as if his consciousness had fallen into chaos, and everything became blurry.
When his vision cleared, another scene appeared before him.
Li Qian felt like an observer, witnessing what was happening.
A rift appeared out of thin air, and countless ink-colored figures emerged from it, densely packed and innumerable.
They were incredibly powerful, and most importantly, fearless and relentless. As soon as they saw a person, they would launch a frenzied attack—specifically targeting the Rong people.
Countless Rong people were mowed down like wheat, their blood splattering everywhere, a scene of utter cruelty.
One by one, the Rong people fell, and their cities and villages were slaughtered.
Even from a third-person perspective, as if watching a movie, Li Qian couldn't help but frown at this sight.
This was too brutal and cruel.
Suppressing the unease in his heart, Li Qian continued to watch.
Soon, he witnessed the counterattack.
The powerful among the Rong people rode their companion beasts.
Vast and formidable canine beasts with extraordinary auras pounced forward, engaging in battle with the black humanoid monsters.
As Li Qian watched, he noticed another peculiarity.
The all-black humanoid monsters not only possessed astonishing attack power but also had terrifying vitality.
Unless completely dismembered, even if their heads were chopped off, limbs severed, or their bodies split in two, they could still regenerate or continue fighting with their mangled bodies.
Like an immortal zombie, the undead continued to fight against the pitch-black humanoid monsters, one by one, the strong Rong people of the tribe fell.
Finally, the powerful Rong people led a group of tribesmen and the black humanoid monsters into a decisive battle.
The battle was fierce, and all the Rong people, including the powerful one, perished.
The remaining Rong people, led by another powerful individual, broke through the siege and left their ancestral land.
Carrying the hope and flame of their race's survival, they fled and fought, leaving a trail of blood in their wake.
In the end, knowing that escape was impossible, the powerful Rong person seemed to use some secret technique, causing his body to disintegrate and turn into countless blood mists.
All the tribesmen, bathed in the blood mist, let out painful roars.
Then, something eerie happened, causing a shiver down one's spine. The tribesmen slowly merged with their companion beasts.
Yes, they were forcibly fused together.
A companion beast and a Rong person were united as one.
After the fusion, Li Qian saw that on the chest of each remaining Rong person, there appeared a pattern of a canine companion beast's head.
Finally, all the Rong people who had merged with canine companion beasts turned into specks of light and disappeared into the dimensional rift opened by the powerful Rong person.
"Hmm, this seems like a soul contract..." As Li Qian wondered what would happen next, the scene before him shattered like a broken mirror. After the image shattered, he realized that not only had this memory been implanted, but he also gained a new method of contracting.
As Li Qian was still puzzled, his gaze shifted, and he saw the jade skeleton once more.
Before Li Qian could continue his observation, the jade skeleton suddenly turned into countless fragments and dust, like a gust of wind and sand.
Li Qian was enveloped in the wind and sand, and he seemed to hear a final message, "Find the contract! Find the contract..."
Li Qian furrowed his brows, understanding the jade skeleton's intention—to find those with canine companion beast patterns on their chests and establish a contract with them.
Looking at the jade skeleton that had vanished without a trace, Li Qian glanced at the scene outside the stone chamber and was at a loss for words for a moment.
It was clear that this jade skeleton belonged to a powerful Rong person from the Fourth Epoch.)
There seemed to be some spiritual remnants lingering in the remains of the powerful Rong person, or perhaps it was the lingering regret of that powerful individual.
Li Qian touched the spiritual remnants, and immediately, he saw the scenes from the powerful Rong person's past.
It seemed that those detestable humanoid monsters had destroyed their world.
They tried to deal with the monsters, but in the end, they failed.
At the brink of life and death, the powerful Rong person from the tribe used a special secret technique to merge a portion of the tribesmen with their companion beasts, turning them into specks of light and sending them into the dimensional rift.
Li Qian guessed that this was probably done to preserve some flame of their racial civilization.
Seeing this, Li Qian nodded slightly.
In the future, if he were to encounter someone with a canine companion beast pattern on their chest, he would certainly try to establish a contract according to the wishes of the powerful Rong person, but whether it would succeed or not was uncertain.
