C290 Skeleton

For the past few days, Lin Xi and Hu Wan had been leading those people in a circle. It was also because of Zheng Lei's double that the undercurrents on Shaohua Mountain didn't explode, but it wasn't like everyone didn't know Zheng Lei's whereabouts. At the very least, Liu Mei's family already knew of Zheng Lei's whereabouts.

However, these demonic cultivators formed their own factions, and they did not care about the other sects. Even the things that these demonic cultivators did not have, they did not want others to have them.

So Liu Mei's group, after receiving her order, continued to travel in Shaohua Mountain and showed their appearances to other people.

It was because Liu Mei did not want Zheng Lei to fall into the hands of others. In fact, at critical moments, Liu Mei would even cause some disturbance to others.

Below the surface of the water, Zheng Lei finally made it to the entrance of the water flow. At the entrance of the water flow, there was only a hole as thick as a person.

Under the protection of the longsword, although Zheng Lei's journey was extremely difficult, he was not harmed in the slightest by the incomparably swift water flow. Even the lotus flower bud in his hand was completely undamaged.

Zheng Lei stabbed the sword into the collar of his shirt, using all of his strength to pull the stone out of the hole. After struggling for a dozen times, he finally got out of the hole.

After he exited the cave, Zheng Lei's body loosened and his feet touched the ground. He felt that there was a slope underneath his feet. It was obviously a sloping slope.

After walking along the slope for a while, Zheng Lei stuck his head out of the water and took a deep breath. He said with some excitement, "Emma, you've finally come out. It's been a long time. I didn't expect there to be a special place under the pool."

Zheng Lei looked around. This was a cave, and the place he was at just now was an underground river. It wasn't too turbulent, but the current was also very swift.

At the same time Zheng Lei struggled out of the entrance of the water, the people on top of Shaohua Mountain seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

It was as if these people had never appeared. No matter where they were, these people disappeared in the shortest time possible.

In the forest, Lin Xi and Hu Wan were walking nervously. Suddenly, Lin Xi pulled on Hu Wan and said, "Wan'er, wait a moment."

"What happened to sister?" The little girl asked.

"There's no one following us."

"No more?" Weren't they always following him? Why not suddenly? Did they discover us? " Hu Xiao Wan asked worriedly.

"I think we should go find Little Lei. I'm guessing his whereabouts have already been exposed." Lin Xi sighed and said.

Hearing that, Hu Wan was stunned on the spot. She looked at Lin Xi in a daze and said: "Sister, you said that Brother was found?"

Lin Xi nodded silently and sighed deeply. After a while, he said, "I thought he would be very careful and not be easily discovered. Who knows, he was still discovered."

Hu Wan stared at him dumbfoundedly as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly, she was shocked and shouted, "Big brother, Little Wan is here to save you. Wait for me!" In the blink of an eye, they were already far away.

When Lin Xi saw Hu Xiaoxiao rushing over to save her, she didn't care about anything else and chased after her.

Just as he said that, he froze in place. In front of him, a stone coffin with no lid was leaning against the wall of the cave. In the sarcophagus, a broken corpse was lying in the sarcophagus.

Judging from the appearance of this corpse, it did not look like it was originally in the sarcophagus, but rather like it had been rushed in by water. This corpse did not have a head, and there were a few bones missing from its body. Zheng Lei looked at it for a while, then took out the bone from his storage bag and placed it in the sarcophagus.

Looking at the lotus flower in his hand, it had already fully bloomed. On the lotus flower's stamen, there was a finger-sized human figure curling up. It was Nie Yuan's soul.

"I've finally found your corpse. Hopefully, I can save you this time." As Zheng Lei spoke, he placed the lotus flower on top of the corpse.

However, things were not as he had expected. Lotus did not break away from his hand when it came into contact with the corpse, but instead pressed even tighter onto it.

Zheng Lei looked at the lotus flower in doubt, then looked at the corpse, thinking: Could it be because the corpse is incomplete?

He looked left and right. It was hard to tell what was inside the dark cave. However, there was a faint white area not far from him.

Zheng Lei walked over to take a look. On the beach by the water's edge, there was a piece of white bone exposed. He dug out the bone and saw that it happened to be one of the missing bones on the corpse.

He even went into the water three times, and the last time he went all the way to the entrance before he found the last piece of bone underneath the entrance.

After all the bones were found, Zheng Lei placed them on top of the corpse one by one. He had never learned medicine before, so he didn't know what the structure of the human skeleton was. He didn't know if he was in the right place, but in terms of the number of bones, he had already gathered.

He once again placed the lotus flower on the corpse, but it still remained the same.

Zheng Lei looked at the corpse in doubt, then looked at the lotus flower and muttered, "Could it be that this isn't Nie Yuan's corpse? That's not right. If it wasn't for Nie Yuan's corpse, the lotus flower wouldn't have bloomed, right? "

He put his head close to the corpse and examined it for a while, but he still could not find anything.

Just as he was about to retract his head, both of his skeletal hands suddenly reached out and grabbed Zheng Lei's neck.

"Damn!" "Fake a corpse!" Zheng Lei cried out in alarm, raised the sword in his hand and chopped towards the white bones.

Astonished, the long sword contained Zheng Lei's spirit energy. As it hacked out, a burst of raging flames filled the air and a loud roar burst out.

"Zi zi …" A pungent smell of burnt flesh entered Zheng Lei's nose. The corpse's arm bone turned into dust under the longsword and scattered everywhere. The corpse also fell into the sarcophagus and shattered into pieces.

"This is too darned, isn't it? "It's actually not Nie Yuan's corpse." Zheng Lei looked at the lotus flower in his hand and said.

Turning his head to look at his surroundings, Zheng Lei felt a wave of dizziness. Shaking his head with all his might, he returned to his original state.

"Where is he? Nie Yuan, at least you haven't lost your soul yet. Right now, we're about to find your corpse. Zheng Lei said to the lotus flower in his hand.

Perhaps when Nie Yuan heard Zheng Lei's words, there was actually a trace of power on the lotus right after he finished speaking. Zheng Lei was stunned and hurriedly let go, allowing the lotus flower to fall to the side.

The lotus flower in Zheng Lei's hand slowly fell towards a direction. Zheng Lei took a look and without saying anything, he headed in the direction the lotus flower was pointing at.
