Chapter 219 Dragon Skeleton

Huo Xiuxiu nodded slightly, her expression solemn: "It's very likely. I just don't know why he wants to snatch the crystal ball. Does he know that the crystal ball has other more critical uses?"

Zhang Shi clenched his fists and looked firmly in the direction where the shadow disappeared: "No matter who he is or what his purpose is, our most important goal right now is to leave this foggy area. Time is running out, so let's act quickly."

Everyone nodded, and they all knew the importance of the situation. After several consecutive battles, everyone was more or less tired and unwilling to take the initiative to fight again.

The journey was relatively smooth. The few scattered monsters encountered on the way were also relatively weak. Zhang Shi easily solved them one by one with a knife. It took everyone most of the day to finally reach the center of the red area.

Huo Xiuxiu stopped everyone's steps forward. The bell shook silently, and the fog was slowly dispelled, revealing the scene covered in front. In the open space in the distance, there was a skeleton of a giant creature. The creature was huge, and the corpse lying on the ground alone was as high as seven or eight stories. It had wings on its back, and its thick tibia was like a bridge across the ground.

Surprisingly, most of its skeleton had turned into stone, and part of its body stood on the wilderness like a stone sculpture, strange and solemn.

Huo Xiuxiu frowned slightly, and slowly approached the skeleton of the giant beast with everyone, and then increased the frequency of ringing the bell, and the mist covering the sky also dispersed faster, finally revealing the full appearance of this towering giant beast.

When everyone saw the appearance of the giant beast clearly, they were all amazed, and some could not believe their eyes. Zhao Feng even looked back and forth at his companions and the giant beast to confirm that he had not entered an illusion.

"Fuck, am I seeing it right? This is a dragon?"

Zhao Feng carefully touched the skeleton of the dragon and felt that the touch was no different from that of stone.

"This thing couldn't have been petrified by Medusa, otherwise how could it become like this."

Ge Dalong came back to his senses from his surprise, remembered some legends, and then answered Zhao Feng's question.

"According to some Western myths and legends, after the death of a giant dragon, its bones will turn into stone. This one in front of us is probably the case."

Huo Xiuxiu also came back to her senses and carefully examined the giant dragon's bones. The petrified bones had a slope, like a series of stairs leading directly to the dragon's spine, and the mark she left on the three-headed monster was on the other side of the dragon's body.

"The three-headed monster is on the other side, let's go, be careful."

Zhang Shi and the other two looked at each other, and finally followed Huo Xiuxiu to step on the shin, like climbing a mountain, slowly walking up to the body of the giant dragon.

Suddenly, two tall figures jumped out from the gap of the dragon bones. They held long-handled weapons and blocked the way of everyone. Zhang Shi took a look and found that they were actually two centaurs. He suddenly thought of the centaur girl he met in the Fog City. These two might be her people.

Just as Zhang Shi was about to negotiate, the two centaurs rushed up with red eyes, and their spears were pointed directly at Zhang Shi's vital points. If it weren't for the powerful black light armor, he might have been knocked down by the other party.

"Fuck, if you don't accept the toast, you will be punished. Go, kill him!"

Zhao Feng was irritated by the two centaurs and rushed up with an axe.

Ge Dalong did not hesitate. He quickly formed seals with both hands. Under the surge of magic power, ice cones shot at the centaurs like raindrops. The centaurs were agile and flexibly dodged the ice cones. At the same time, they waved their spears to smash the approaching ice cones one after another, splashing a piece of ice chips.

Seeing this, Huo Xiuxiu shook the bell in her hand more quickly, and the sound waves emitted formed invisible ripples in the air, interfering with the actions and attack rhythm of the centaurs. However, the two centaurs seemed to be driven by some kind of power, and they were not moved at all, and they still attacked everyone frantically.

Zhang Shi waved Lao Duan to resist the attack of the centaurs, and shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, they may be controlled! Don't kill them, try to catch them alive!" He knew that the centaurs might have a thousand connections with the centaur girl in the Fog City, and he didn't want to hurt them unless it was absolutely necessary.

Although Zhao Feng had a hot temper, he also understood Zhang Shi's meaning. He reserved some strength when attacking, and only used the back of the axe to hit the centaur's weapon, trying to knock it away and make it lose its combat ability.

But the centaurs were very strong in combat. They cooperated with each other tacitly, one attacking and one defending, making it difficult for Zhang Shi and others to find flaws for a while.

In the fierce battle, Zhang Shi suddenly found a pendant with a glimmering light hanging on the neck of one of the centaurs. The light of the pendant was a little strange, and it seemed to be out of tune with the surrounding environment. He was moved. Could this be the key to controlling them?

"Old Ge, attack the neck of the centaur on the left. There is a pendant there. It may be the thing to control them!" Zhang Shi shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ge Dalong immediately adjusted the direction of attack, condensed a thick ice spike, and shot it towards the target. The ice spike was extremely fast, and the centaur warrior could not dodge it in time, and was hit by the ice spike on the pendant on his neck. The pendant shattered instantly, emitting a dazzling light.

The centaur's eyes instantly recovered clarity. He looked at the scene in front of him, revealing a trace of confusion and fear. The other centaur saw that his companion had returned to normal, and the offensive slowed down.

Zhang Shi took the opportunity to rush forward and hit the other centaur's head with the back of the knife, knocking him unconscious.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the two centaurs, all feeling relieved.

The awake centaur looked at Zhang Shi and the others and said, "Who are you? Why are you here? How could I..."

Zhang Shi stepped forward and said, "We have no ill intentions, we are just passing by. Are you controlled by something?"

The centaur frowned and tried to recall, "I only remember that when we were patrolling in the city, we suddenly encountered a black fog, and then lost consciousness until just now..."

Huo Xiuxiu checked the centaur's body and said, "There is some dark magic left on them, so they should be controlled by dark magic."

Ge Dalong asked.

"Do you remember how you got here?"

The centaur thought hard for a while, then shook his head.

Zhang Shi didn't believe it, and asked again after a moment: "Did you see a person with a crystal ball passing by here?"

The Centaur shook his head: "I don't remember."

Zhang Shi sighed, knowing that he couldn't get more information from the two centaurs, so he planned to pull them into the team. After all, one more person means more safety, so he asked immediately.

"It's extremely dangerous here, we are planning to..."

Before Zhang Shi finished speaking, the two centaurs trembled as if they were electrocuted, and in an instant, their eyes turned red again, and the weapons in their hands pointed at Zhang Shi again.
