In just a few breaths, the courtyard of the deserted temple was filled with bones.
The scroll suspended in mid-air, after all the bones fell, split open on its own and turned into two pieces floating to the ground.
Someone picked up the broken scroll and found that the densely packed children's figures on the painting had all disappeared.
Looking at the bones in the courtyard of the deserted temple, they suddenly had a bad guess:
All the children sealed in the painting were killed and turned into bones? !
"Where are the children? Where are the children who were kidnapped by you?"
A policeman looked at the bones on the ground in the yard. After being stunned for a moment, he rushed towards the thief like crazy, punching and kicking him and questioning him.
One of his children is also missing.
He didn't want any of his children to be among these bones.
The thief's face was covered in blood after being beaten, but he seemed to have no feeling and was still laughing wildly: "Aren't all the children here? Hahaha... they are all here!"
The heartbroken policeman wanted to kill the thief with his sword.
Surrounded outside the deserted temple, the parents and relatives of the missing children also broke through the obstruction of the government officials at this time and rushed into the courtyard of the deserted temple.
They cried loudly at the white bones on the ground:
"Son! My son——"
"My dear grandson, why did you leave before me?"
"My good daughter, it's your mother's fault. I'm sorry for not keeping an eye on you, so you were harmed by a thief."
"Xiao Wu, why are you dead? There are so many bones, which one is yours?"
The parents and relatives of the missing children picked up the bones on the ground, looking at this one and comparing that one.
When the child was alive, they could easily recognize it, but now the child is dead and turned into bones.
They compared and looked over and over, but they couldn't tell which bone belonged to their child.
This made them sadder and their cries louder.
Several wild dogs squeezed out from under the crowd at this time and ran into the courtyard of the deserted temple, barking at the parents and relatives of the missing children, as if they wanted to say something to them.
It's a pity that no one here can understand dog language.
The parents and relatives of the missing children thought that these wild dogs were attracted by the bones on the ground in the temple yard and wanted to grab the bones to eat, and they suddenly became angry.
They either opened their arms to drive away these wild dogs: "Get out! Get away! Don't try to eat the bones of my children!"
Or simply pick up stones from the ground and throw them at the wild dogs.
A wild dog couldn't dodge and was hit on the head by a stone. It was immediately bruised and bloody. It stopped and did not dare to go any further.
Several other wild dogs nearby hurriedly gathered around it, trying to protect it.
Qin Shaoyou noticed that in the eyes of these wild dogs, in addition to emotions such as anxiety and worry, the emotions of sadness and despair also became more intense at this moment.
Just as he was observing the wild dogs, another change occurred in the courtyard of the deserted temple.
The parent of a missing child was crying while holding a piece of his child's bone, which he didn't know if it was his. Suddenly, he stopped crying, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
Seeing this, a wild dog in the distance rushed towards him like crazy, barking, and jumped up, as if trying to snatch away the bone he was holding in his arms.
When the people nearby saw this scene, they didn't know what happened and thought it was a wild dog trying to hurt someone.
Just as he was about to scold him, he saw blood flowing out of the man who was attacked by the wild dog and dripping on the ground.
The people nearby were shocked and angry, shouting and cursing:
"The wild dog bit!"
"These wild dogs not only want to snatch our children's bones, but they also bite people!"
"Kill them! Kill these wild dogs!"
Someone even rushed up and kicked the wild dog with great force, sending the wild dog flying away.
The wild dog landed on the ground with a very painful expression, probably injured.
But it didn't hesitate and rushed towards the person it had just pounced on again, screaming "woof, woof".
The people next to him finally discovered something unusual about this person.
The blood on his body was not from a dog bite.
A piece of bone penetrated into his heart.
Blood flowed from the bones and dripped to the ground.
This bone was the one that the man had held in his arms before.
But how could this bone penetrate into his heart?
Was he frightened by a wild dog bite, causing the accident?
Or is there something wrong with these bones?
Many questions came to everyone's mind.
Qin Shaoyou's expression suddenly changed outside the deserted temple, but through his [Bright Eyesight] talent, he saw that the bones in the courtyard of the deserted temple were 'preparing to move'.
He hurriedly shouted a reminder: "There is something wrong with these bones, stay away from them!"
But before the people in the courtyard of the deserted temple could react, the bones on the ground moved first.
Amidst the creepy "clicking" sounds, the white bones on the ground seemed to be pulled by invisible lines, forming skeletons one after another, either complete, or only half or even part of them.
These skeletons pounced on the people around them with lightning speed.
They either pierce bones into the human body, or open their mouths without tongues and muscles to bite human flesh and blood.
Moreover, these skeletons were not only making trouble inside the deserted temple, but many of them rushed out of the deserted temple and wanted to kill the people watching the fun outside.
The inside and outside of the deserted temple suddenly fell into panic again.
People fled in panic like headless flies.
"Ghost, there is a ghost!"
"These bones have turned into monsters!"
"Run quickly! If you don't run, you will die!"
The policemen and night watchmen in the courtyard of the deserted temple, after being stunned for a short time, drew their sabers and chopped off the bones to save the people.
Qin Shaoyou and others also unsheathed their swords and faced the skeleton rushing out of the deserted temple.
"Snapped!"
Qin Shaoyou swung his knife and cut off the tibia of a human leg that attacked him.
But after the tibia broke, it did not stop moving. Instead, it split into two and continued to attack him.
Monk Ma strode over, helped Qin Shaoyou fly away a bone with his fist, and said quickly:
"Sir, bone demons and bone ghosts rely on the will-o'-the-wisp aura in their skulls to drive their bones. As long as their skulls are chopped into pieces and their will-o'-the-wisp aura is dispersed, the bones controlled by them will self-destruct."
"knew."
Qin Shaoyou stopped entangled with these bones and went straight to a skull not far away.
When the skull saw Qin Shaoyou rushing towards it, Gu Lulu rolled to the side, and at the same time controlled the bones in other parts to attack Qin Shaoyou, trying to stop it.
Qin Shaoyou took advantage of the fact that he was wearing armor and ignored the bones that rushed towards him, letting the bones hit him and make a ping-ping-pong-pong sound.
Many bones hung on his body, but they could not break the armor.
Qin Shaoyou caught up with the skull, first stepped on it, and then chopped it with a knife, piercing it and splitting it in half.
The will-o'-the-wisp demonic energy in the skull immediately dissipated.
The bones controlled by it fell one after another and stopped moving.
Qin Shaoyou was about to kill the next skull, but found that there was a new page in the recipe in his mind.
This is a medicinal meal called "Medicine Bone Soup".
Demon Bone Soup: Wash a demon bone, add ginger and scallion honey wine, boil it with white water over high heat for ten times, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly. Eating it can strengthen bones and muscles, as if you have flesh armor on your body.
There is also a note below: Demon bone soup, demon bone soup, one bowl a day.
Qin Shaoyou was surprised by the effect of demon bone soup.
In addition to speed, he now just wants to pile up defense, pile himself into a tank, and pile it up until the demons and ghosts can't break through the defense.
But what surprised Qin Shaoyou even more was the ingredients used in this medicinal meal.
They were not human bones, but dog bones contaminated by evil spirits.
"Are these bones from dogs? Are they not missing children?"
Qin Shaoyou was surprised and puzzled at the same time.
Because the skulls, leg bones, and hand bones all look like human bones, and they don’t look like dog bones.
