They fought hand-to-hand for fifteen minutes to the point the waves on the riverbed became turbulent. Amid the chaos, they finally killed the seriously wounded catfish bone demon. However, the three people also suffered injuries on different levels.
Rushing to the frontline as a meat shield, Alex’s arm was almost completely severed, with ten or so fractured bones that had fallen out of his body.
Daya found Alex’s scattered bones and handed them over to him. “The bone patterns can heal your injuries on your body. Your bones can grow back even if they have fallen off. The bodies of these two bone demons are too huge and a bit difficult to be moved, so we should just absorb them straight away.”
Alex had no comments when it came to that.
In fact, the forbidden spell runes in his body had long been unable to hold back.
This was great fortune.
Alex directly enveloped the fishbone with his soul power. The green bone patterns on it glowed faintly and twinkled, turning into a stream of light, and entered Alex’s bones as nourishment before the forbidden spell runes absorbed it.
The fractures on his body healed at a visible rate, and the broken bones automatically grew as soon as they were attached.
Furthermore, favonovel.com felt his bones evolving and growing rapidly, heading to a perfect state regardless of hardness and other aspects.
His bones were getting whiter to the point of spotlessness, yet the bone patterns did not show up. Daya and the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens were absorbing the bone patterns as well.
Daya absorbed the man-faced spider’s bone patterns, whereas the Mystic Maiden absorbed the ones from the catfish. Bone patterns of different species seemingly contained different energy, so different bone patterns should display different effects.
Alex noticed that Daya’s initial gray bone patterns had disappeared. Replacing them were dark green bone patterns that twinkled on favonovel.com bones as if they were breathing.
Mystic Maiden’s bone patterns were mutating as well. It meant that they had previously acquired low-level bone patterns. After absorbing higher-level bone patterns, the original bone patterns evolved accordingly and developed into a higher grade.
Burp!
Daya burped unexpectedly, full from absorbing the bone patterns.
A string of green bone patterns appeared on favonovel.com body, and favonovel.com aura increased by more than double. She beckoned to Alex. “Hubby, come and absorb this. I can’t go on. I’ve never had such a good time.”
Afterward, favonovel.com noticed that Alex’s bones were flawlessly white, devoid of any bone patterns.
What favonovel.com saw surprised her.
Alex said with a smile, “Don’t worry. This is probably related to the cultivation techniques I practice. I can feel that the bone patterns have all converted into energy, and my bones are undergoing an unprecedented evolution.”
He could accept the entire load of bone patterns. Even if favonovel.com devoured more, the ancient runes would consume the energy. A portion of it would nourish his bones, and a portion, his soul.
Eventually, favonovel.com kept a small bit and prepared to take them back to the others.
Mystic Maiden also stopped devouring the bone patterns. Since favonovel.com was full and favonovel.com soul power was at full capacity, favonovel.com could no longer devour them quickly, needing time to rest and digest the energy. “With our massive gains this time, our bone patterns have evolved to a heightened level. I have a feeling that with this method, we can reshape our root bones and enhance our cultivation talent toward perfection,” favonovel.com said.
That would be stunning.
Human root bones were fixed in their mothers’ wombs. In the cultivation world, there was a saying that one’s root bones were predestined, and his fate could only be changed when favonovel.com reincarnated. In other words, if one wanted to change his root bones, there was only one way-reincarnation.
Root bones had a more important foundation than spiritual roots. The root bones, however, could even be changed and evolved. So, this truly was changing fate by defying natural order.
In the end, each of the three people took a few root bones with densely packed bone patterns and planned to return to the cave.
“Wait a moment!” Alex suddenly said.
“What’s wrong?”
“I suddenly thought of a question. This catfish bone demon is dead, but its lair shouldn’t be too far away, right? How about we go look for it?”
“Aren’t you afraid that there’ll be a female catfish in the lair?” Daya asked.
Mystic Maiden blinked. “If that catfish still had companions, they would have popped out just now. So, this idea is feasible. There may be a grand opportunity.”
