"River Chart's reaction is so strange, isn't it?" Luo Ningxian was a bit puzzled herself. Although she could engage in a special form of communication, she could only grasp a general idea.
"Xian, what's wrong?" Bexia asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that River Chart's reaction is very intense, as if something is drawing it towards it!" Luo Ningxian said, holding the trembling River Chart, frowning slightly.
"Let's follow River Chart! Let's see what exactly is attracting River Chart, maybe it's the remaining half of the Luoshu?" Bexia suggested.
"Do you even need to say that?" Luo Cailing gave him a glare, still upset about his teasing earlier.
No one knew why River Chart was behaving this way, but coupled with the reaction of the Luoshu, it had to be taken seriously. After all, the location indicated by River Chart might just be where the remaining half of the Luoshu existed.
Advancing in the direction indicated by River Chart's senses, after moving at high speed for an unknown amount of time and distance, Bexia and the others suddenly came across a huge ravine, or more accurately, a dried-up riverbed. Once an immensely vast river flowed here, but now it was completely dry!
This massive river seemed endless in the gloomy world, at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of meters wide as estimated. Countless giant rocks towered like mountains within it, with the remains of many huge creatures that once lived in it, their skeletons half-buried in the mud.
In ancient times, many life forms cultivated using the cultivation methods left behind from the previous era. They primarily focused on physical cultivation, and the larger their bodies, the more terrifying their strength when alive.
The most important figure was Pangu from the legend of the Pangu supercontinent, who was said to have released his full power, with a body capable of supporting the heavens and earth — albeit the heavens and earth of the Pangu supercontinent during its complete era!
"Can you still pinpoint the exact location?" Bexia asked Luo Ningxian.
"It's in this direction!" Luo Ningxian turned River Chart around twice and then pointed in a direction.
"Then let's go!" Bexia summoned the Wing of Azure Sky this time and said, "Let's hurry over there!"
"I'm ready!" Yue spread out her flesh wings behind her, which were a size larger than her entire body.
"Ayling, let's go too!" Luo Ningxian smiled and leaped into the air, manifesting a pair of blue light wings behind her, looking quite amazing.
"Alright, here we go!" Luo Cailing's light wings were crimson in color but just as impressive.
In flight mode, Bexia and the others flew rapidly for a long time. This massive river seemed somewhat too vast, making mere flight seem insufficient for traversing it.
"Do you see that ahead?!" Yue's eyes shone red as she pointed to a dark mass ahead.
"Come and take a look!" The moon was looking at something in the distance. Bexia and the others could only see it vaguely at first, but as they got closer, they realized that she was actually pointing at a pile of bones.
"Huh?!" Just as Bexia and the others landed, standing on the skull of a skeleton, they suddenly felt the space around them tremble, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"Roar—!" Bexia felt the surroundings quickly changing. In the blink of an eye, he was surprised by a loud roar.
"What is this...?" Bexia was a bit bewildered, as he found himself standing on a rippling water surface, with a group of humanoid giant beasts fleeing swiftly from one end of the river to the other in the distance!
Yes, fleeing, because each giant beast had a terrified expression on its face, occasionally looking back along the way they came, seeming afraid of something.
"Boom—!" Thunder rumbled in the sky in the distance, and vaguely, something could be seen swirling within it.
"Crack—!" The surroundings shattered at this point, and Bexia found himself back amidst a pile of corpses, just like the others around him.
"What was that just now...?"
"Perhaps the power of time has lingered here, preserving scenes from millions of years ago," said Moon.
"There doesn't seem to be anything of interest here. Let's continue to find the Loshu...!!!"
Before Bexia could finish his sentence, he felt a vibration, unlike the previous time disturbance, but a real trembling of the earth beneath his feet.
Bexia and the others immediately took flight, just as they had landed amidst the bones. Below them came a blast, and countless bone fragments converged into a monstrous skeleton giant, holding a black bone spike mace in its hand.
"What in the world is this?" Bexia was speechless. This ancient battleground was indeed a bit eerie; the fact that the bones of the long-dead could turn into monsters explained why this place was full of dangers.
"Just a bone demon, nothing to fuss about!" Luo Cailing said, pulling out a delicate hand crossbow from the subspace, loading a red-tipped arrow onto it, and aiming at the newly formed bone demon.
"Swoosh—!" The arrow was released, and as it flew, the entire arrow turned into a roaring flame dragon.
"Boom—!" A massive mushroom cloud rose up, and a huge wave of flame swept up dust from the ground.
After a moment of earth-shaking, a deep pit was left on the ground. There was no trace of the bone demon there now, and Luo Cailing was holding the hand crossbow, blowing away the remaining heat from it.
The bone demon was defeated!
