Seeing Yan Luo look at him without saying a word, Shi Mu went on to say, “We’ll first have to find a place to hide until we get the opportunity to attack.”

　　“Alright,” Yan Luo nodded her head in agreement after a few glances.

　　Shi Mu would tell Wu Ye to monitor the gray bone bird. After that, he would head to the lake with Yan Luo and hide under the green cloak to watch over the bird under the cover of invisibility.

　　As long as they stay put, the green cloak would be enough to shield them.

　　As time passed…

　　Due to Shi Mu and Yan Luo concealing the atmosphere of the deathly miasma, the dead spirits became attracted to the waters again. The blood mist lake was now surrounded as all sought to absorb the miasma.

　　After more than half an hour, a petite bone-shaped beast about two feet long rushed over toward the lake.

　　As soon as the little beast stepped into the lake, it greedily absorbed the deathly miasma.

　　At this moment, a figure in the air swayed and a huge gray figure swooped down.

　　It was none other than the gray bone bird! It was unknown when it had left the waters.

　　The bone bird was extremely fast. With just a dive, it swooped down and bit onto the bone-shaped beast, then immediately rose high into the sky.

　　After the bone bird flew into the air, the struggling beast was crushed and bitten into pieces.

　　The gray bone bird made a few spins in the air and swooped down again.

　　Near the ground, the gray bone bird slammed its wings, creating a large gray hurricane. Several low-ranked dead spirits on the side of the lake were swept into the hurricane and crushed.

　　The grey bone bird flew up and down several times on the shore of the lake, defeating all the low-ranked dead spirits in its path.

　　As the gray bone bird flew in the air for a few laps and swooped down again, the lake was surrounded by four rays of yellow and blue lights.

　　A large expanse of blue chills rushed out from all directions toward the gray bone bird. An earth-based charm was applied to the wings of the bird, making it double-winged with a layer of earthy yellow light.

　　The gray bone bird could not escape under the current circumstances but still tried its best to fly up. With earth-based charm magic attached to its wings, the bird became slow and couldn’t compare with its normal speed.

　　When the surface of the earth was scattered, a translucent figure emerged from the side of the gray bone bird’s wings. It held a crystal bone knife firmly in its hand.

　　It was none other than Bi Ling!

　　The grey bone bird had already anticipated a sneak attack but due to the fact that Bi Ling did not reveal a trace of breath before launching the attack, the bird was now. trapped. It was too late to completely avoid now.

　　With a scoff, the two crystal knives flashed coldly and landed on the wings of the gray bone bird.

　　The sound of broken bones could be heard instantly.

　　The soul fire in the eye of the gray bone bird flashed abruptly and a dazzling silver light illuminated and shot from its forehead at Bi Ling.

　　Peng!

　　When Bi Ling hit the thorn, he was scrambling to retire. A positive sliver of light flashed and his figure flew out.

　　The gray bone bird, however, slipped forward with the help of the impact. Its wings jerked, picking up two hurricanes rolling around before flying again.

　　Everything from the setting up of the symbolic array on the shore to the moment when the spirit was shot, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

　　Shi Mu and Yan Luo quickly rushed over at the moment the array was activated. With the black knife and black rod, it landed on the skull of the gray bone bird at the same time.

　　The grey bone bird stopped flapping its wings and its body slammed straight forward. When it approached the ground, it flapped its wings and flew against the ground, cleverly trying to avoid the attacks.

　　Seeing that the gray bone bird was out of the array and once again tried to fly into the sky, Yan Luo immediately summoned her wings, turning into a ray of grayish silver light as she chased after it.

　　Behind Shi Mu’s back, a fire flashed and a pair of flaming wings were unfolded. Bi Ling and Wu Ye arrived to lend a hand, and the three of them leaped into the sky and chased after it.

　　Although the gray bone bird was wounded by Bi Ling on one side of its wing, it had used a series of secret techniques that made its wings of silvery light flow and increased its speed. Both Yan Luo and Shi Mu had been pursuing it for three days now.

　　However, as time went on, the impact of the bone bird’s wing injury was apparent and the distance between them was closing.

　　Three days later, Shi Mu and Yan Luo chased the gray bone bird to a volcanic area.

　　However, there was a sudden change when the bird reached the area!

　　Oin…

　　With just that sound, the volcano began to quake violently.

　　The gray bone bird and some of the skeletons that resided around the volcano were sucked into the crater.

　　Shi Mu and Yan Luo, who had initially wanted to rush up, saw this scene and quickly stopped in their tracks.

　　Along with the rumbling sound, the surface of the mountain collapsed, causing a circle of round gullies on the entire mountain.

　　Huff!

　　Like a sudden explosion, the gullies ignited a raging flame.

　　Just as Shi Mu thought that the volcano was going to erupt, there was another scene in front of him that had surprised him.

　　The creeping volcano writhed like a long snake, stretching the whole mountain and exploring it.

　　As the mountain stretched, large pieces of rock began to roll off and a white boney object was revealed.

　　“Hehehe…”

　　The sound of friction between the joints was audible and the rock on the mountain had slipped down. After the white bones were exposed, it was seen to be a swollen Bone Worm with eighteen rings of flames around it.

　　The Bone Worm writhed its fat body and let out a silent scream at the sky. A volcanic ash-like smog mixed with a little ignition flame, squirting from its circular big mouth almost as big as the body.

　　Shi Mu’s eyes began to glow with a ray of golden light as he locked eyes with the Bone Worm. Staring at the circular mouth of the bone worm for a moment, he saw a circle of black teeth like diamonds.

　　The inside of the Bone Worm’s mouth looked like a crater of rushing magma and flame.

　　Shi Mu saw the remains of the gray bone bird undulating in the magma. Some of the bones had begun to turn black as well.

　　Shi Mu was secretly stunned when he found out at the volcano in front of him was actually a giant bone worm the size of a mountain!

　　This worm had a size of a hundred feet without any facial features. Its face only had a giant round mouth with large circles of teeth.

　　The flames on the Bone Worm’s body looked like a volcano erupting from a distance.

　　When the Bone Worm stopped moving, it seemed like there was no sign of life. Shi Mu and Yan Luo did not notice the slightest clue.

　　At the moment, however, the Bone Worm was still awake. “Yan Luo, what are you trying to do?!” Shi Mu asked when Yan Luo moved her hand towards it. His face changed and quickly held onto her arm, stopping her.

　　“I want to get what belongs to me.” Yan Luo said in a cold demeanor as she swayed her arms out of Shi Mu’s hand.

　　Yan Luo had been chasing after this particular bird because it possessed the skeleton that rightfully belonged to her. Who knew chasing after a bird would lead Yan Luo to completely lose her mind.

　　“This Bone Worm may not be very intelligent but its strength is terrifying. If we rush in without a fool-proof plan, I’m afraid we won’t make it out alive,” Shi Mu said.

　　Yan Luo did not heed his words.

　　The flames grew, giving off a horrible deathly atmosphere. It reminded Shi Mu of the zombie-like Liu An he had battled previously even though the worm was a lot less smart.

　　Yan Luo looked at the huge Bone Worm in front of her. Her eyes flickered as she stepped forward while waving her hand. The black iron rod that she had returned to Shi Mu flew back into Shi Mu’s hand.

　　“With my sense of the fire’s nature, the flame in the worm’s mouth is unusual. It seems to have the ability to melt the fire of one’s soul. Just as the bone bird and the skeleton spirits are swallowed, the flames in the mouth of the worm would immediately disappear out of sight. Other than that, with the strength of the bone bird, it shouldn’t have been swallowed easily.” Shi Mu continued to persuade.

　　“In any case, I must recapture my bones!” Yan Luo silenced and said without any feelings.

　　“Alright then. We’ll have to think of a strategy.” Shi Mu saw Yan Luo’s firm determination and had no choice but to nod in agreement.

　　Yan Luo remained silent for a while and nodded.

　　From a distance, the huge mouth of the Bone Worm chewed for a while before swallowing the bone bird and the other little skeleton spirits. Its huge body curled up again on the ground as the breath of the body began to fade and finally, disappeared completely.

　　Its huge body looked similar to a volcano, standing high quietly.

　　The Bone Worm lurked for a while and suddenly, a yellow color flashed on the ground. A tall skeleton drilled from the ground, holding a yellow bone knife.

　　The knives in the tall skeleton’s hand could be clearly seen. Huge yellow knives emerged from thin air and slashed across the neck of the Bone Worm.

　　Ka-cha!

　　The bones on the neck of the worm had cracked but the strength and power of the yellow knives had now run out and dissipated.

　　The Bone Worm let out a loud cry and released the flames within its body.

　　However, the tall skeleton took a knife, and the yellow mangling immediately flashed and broke into the ground again.

　　Boom!

　　The huge head of the worm slammed into the ground like an electric shock. It swayed the mountains and the ground was pulled out of a large pit as the smoke flew.

　　After a while, it looked up and made a loud roar.

　　The Bone Worm waited for a moment to make sure, and the tall skeleton did not dare to appear again.

　　It let out a low sigh as it twisted its body, returning to its comfort zone as it lay down again.

　　The Bone Worm lay down as the wind blew. Suddenly, a pair of translucent bone knives emerged and stabbed into the worm. It instantly cracked on the bone of its chest.

　　The worms were furious, and the flames on the body suddenly exploded. The fire tongues squirted and exposed, and the range of dozens of squares was turned into a sea of ​​fire.

　　At this time, a translucent figure flew out of the sea of ​​fire and quickly fled toward the distance. It was the crystal spirit of Shi Mu.
