Alex said, “Mhm, I never asked you to battle alongside me. You’re just a transport, after all. So just do a good job, be smart, and analyze when the situation gets dangerous.”
“You can escape alone if you think the enemy is too strong. Save yourself. Else I wouldn’t be able to find another transport as fast as you.”
Pigsy’s expression immediately turned gloomy, but it didn’t know what to say.
Alex ignored its little pity party and described everything that happened just now. He also mentioned the cultivator from another world and the scroll that recorded the language of Galaxy Nova, sharing it with everyone else.
A short while later, the group started discussing in the cave.
First, they read the books they obtained to understand more about the origins of the people from Galaxy Nova. Secondly, they looked into what Galaxy Nova knew about the Underworld, which they urgently needed. Thirdly, the thirteen ways to use bone patterns.
It was apparent that Galaxy Nova had done in-depth research on the Underworld. Hence, this wasn’t the first time they sent anyone here to train. They most likely found a specific entrance to send their excellent disciples in.
This was to change and train their bones to experience rebirthing, improving their talents in the process.
Swoosh!
A row of bone patterns appeared on the Mystic Maiden’s hand bone. It was arranged in an odd sequence, then turning into a weird dagger. It flew out at great speed, shooting onto the walls of the cave. A piece of the rock wall was sliced off as if it were merely butter.
Everyone was shocked, trying it out themselves as well.
“So not only can bone patterns strengthen the bones and soul, it can be used as weapons too. That’s so interesting.”
“It can also be combined with actual weapons. It can even be used to carve inscriptions and set up formations.”
“…”
The books in Alyssa’s ring were like an opening to a new world for them.
Alex, who had been researching ancient talismans for quite a while, noticed that these so-called bone patterns were very flexible, just like ancient talismans.
‘Isn’t this… Just another form of ancient talismans?’
However, these bone patterns exist in an extraordinary way. They could be more easily obtained compared to illusionary ancient talismans.
For an entire month, Alex and the others researched the functions of bone patterns, using them in various ways, then laying down an operation. With this, they found the Pool of Afterlife.
Later on, the group left the cave, decided to head in a direction, and slowly went forth.
They weren’t in a rush since they had help from the 3D map in Alex’s mind. Cooperating, they trained in a battle formation suitable for a siege named the Seven Deadly Assassins.
With six people and a pig, they were able to stand in seven different placements. Hunting for bone demons like this was much more rewarding.
Six months later, Alex still didn’t have any bone patterns on him, nor did favonovel.com cross any tribulations or achieve Immortalization.
However, Ynes and Channing had succeeded in crossing their tribulations, achieving Immortalization. Daya, on the other hand, hadn’t achieved Immortalization as well. Yet, favonovel.com managed to enter an unreplicable hidden realm that others couldn’t reach. This was related to the benefits from favonovel.com reincarnation, the fate of the Goddess of Nature.
As for the Mystic Maiden, favonovel.com was a special case. As someone who had bone patterns, hers were starting to disappear lately. Her green skeleton was now beginning to whiten as if it were turning into real bones.
The group went over a large mountain. They then saw a rundown temple at the foot of the mountain.
When everyone tried to approach and scout the area, a red light shot through the sky. It seemed as though it had sliced through the void without making any noise, striking straight at Shirley.
