Chapter 96: Even Organs Sold Together Are Considered Organs
Rumble
Blue lightning roared across the sky, painting the night sky as blue as the heavens.
For a moment, the security forces who were engaged in battle and the strange mediums all looked at the blue lightning in the sky with horror.
Dark clouds rolled in, and large raindrops fell, but they only fell within the area of the building and did not spread.
Rainwater gathers, dark clouds merge, and thunder roars, forming a phenomenon known as "cloud and water thunder."
Boom!
A deafening thunderbolt struck down, and the building melted away rapidly, like snow.
The earth-shattering power, the real heavenly thunder, and the blinding blue light enveloped the entire building, making it impossible for both people and ghosts to open their eyes.
Thunder rumbled, and Tai Sui suddenly sensed danger. He tried to move away, but it was too late.
puff
A hand came from behind, using the green lightning as cover, pierced through the body, and grabbed the fungus.
With the combined power of the White Bone Demon and the Old Turtle, the group of monsters could no longer resist. Cracks appeared on their bodies, and yang energy overflowed. The sculptor was the first to be hit and was swept away.
His body exploded in mid-air with a bang, and a crystal stone was swallowed up by an invisible force.
The medium of the Shadow Demon, a bead of blood, also disappeared at the same time.
Everything ended in an instant.
The azure lightning dissipated, and the White Bone Demon's energy was almost completely depleted, leaving her skeletal frame teetering on the verge of collapse.
Without the slightest hesitation, its skeletal hand, carrying the remaining energy, grabbed at the old turtle: "Your turn!"
"Eighth Master has always been wary of you!"
The old turtle let out a cold shout, and its snake tail, which had been motionless until now, suddenly stood up.
A bone-chilling cold permeated the air, and a layer of frost appeared in the air. Wherever it passed, whether it was Qing Lei or Bai Gu Jing, they were all frozen.
Golden light and thunder erupted from Zhang Qingguan's palm, Li Hongyi's longsword emitted a sword beam, and Gu Qingyi's palm absorbed golden light.
The three people and the power of the three demons descended simultaneously, crashing onto the ice sculpture.
bang
The ice sculpture shattered, and the White Bone Demon exploded, turning into pieces of bone. As its energy was depleted, it quickly turned into ashes.
"Tai Sui" (太岁).
Li Hongyi quickly stepped forward and found only an unconscious old man named Wang, whose body still contained some fungal hyphae.
The other strange creatures were nowhere to be seen.
"The Dragon King River toad and the musician escaped," Gu Qingyi said, frowning.
"Seeing the situation was not good, they ran away."
Zhang Qingguan said, "After this battle, they were severely injured and will not be able to cause any trouble in the short term."
Old Wangba lay on the ground, panting heavily, and said weakly, "Master Wangba needs to rest for a few days. After finishing up, please leave quickly. Master Wangba has a feeling that something is not right..."
呼噜
No sooner had he finished speaking than the old turtle fell fast asleep and could not be woken up no matter what he did.
The three exchanged a glance and left with Tai Sui.
The monsters either fled or died, and the mediums outside were either captured by Yanran or escaped, not daring to linger.
The security guards cleaned up the battlefield and left.
Gu Bai and Crow were woken up and got into the security car to return.
……
Three days later.
Inside the bedroom.
The White Bone Demon crunched on her food: "This stone is quite brittle, don't you think? Tai Sui."
Its dissected internal bones also regenerated under the nourishment of yang energy.
The blue light on its body became more intense, its skeletal muscles became thicker, and its vitality increased significantly.
On the bedside table, beads of fungus gleamed, sprouting wisps of mycelium: "The sculptor is stone, so of course he's crunchy to eat. How about we coexist?"
"Can creatures of the same kind coexist?" The White Bone Demon was still somewhat curious. Last time, he had kicked the newbie away, so he had never tried the question of symbiosis between monsters.
"We can coexist with living things. You now have a chance to live, so you can give it a try," Tai Sui said.
"Then... shall we give it a try?"
The skeleton is moved; once they coexist, the Tai Sui will be unable to escape.
This is his own granary!
The mycelium spread, entangled the white skeleton, merged with it, and slowly became one with it.
A feeling of mutual understanding welled up within her; the White Bone Demon sensed the presence of Tai Sui, as if it had become a part of her.
It feels amazing.
Symbiosis successful!
The threads crisscross and intertwine to form a new leather garment.
"Wow, you're a tailor?" the White Bone Demon exclaimed in surprise.
Tai Sui said, "Looking at your leather jacket, it's just a replica; changing the skin color is the simplest thing to do."
The White Bone Demon was very satisfied: "I don't need to make leather clothes anymore. My life force is enough to cover our auras. This time, eating the medium Yunhe, the Shadow Ghost and the Sculptor not only completely made up for our losses, but also exceeded them. You should have a bite too."
"It is indeed perfect... wait, why can't I use your power?" Tai Sui suddenly realized something was wrong.
"You can't use it?" the White Bone Demon asked in surprise. "But I can use yours."
Tai Sui pondered for a moment and said, "Relax a bit and let me try."
The White Bone Demon relaxed her mind and stopped controlling her power.
The fungal beads rippled, and a faint blue light gradually emerged.
After trying for a while, Tai Sui gave up: "I can only use power that is about the same as mine. I can't use any more. Perhaps it's a problem with my strength."
"That's alright, I'll give you a share later, after all, you're my food supply," the White Bone Demon comforted her. "I have a good habit of hoarding food."
"You deliberately let the musician and the toad go this time. Won't you give yourself away?" Tai Sui asked.
"Don't worry, they can't find me yet. That old turtle might have sensed something."
The White Bone Demon, holding the mushroom beads, came to the mirror.
Tai Sui asked, "Then should we eat the old turtle?"
The White Bone Demon pinched the fungal bead and grinned, saying, "It just sensed something was wrong, but couldn't see anything. After all, my medium didn't have much power left, yet it still attacked them. It was definitely deliberately courting death."
"Then why are you still doing it?"
"It's because Master Bone is overthinking things," the White Bone Demon sighed. "I included the one in the wind and the one in the moonlight in my calculations, but they didn't come at all. It's not a good thing for the plan to go too smoothly."
In his calculations, his medium should have perished along with him, completely and utterly destroyed.
But those two of their kind, each more cunning than the other, stubbornly refused to take the plunge.
Even the perfect plan had its flaws.
"It's strange, why are they able to hold back? Could it be that they think they are no match for you?" Tai Sui said.
"They are quite capable, and joining them would still give them a fighting chance... No... Shadow Ghosts are the medium, but the musicians and sculptors are unaware of it."
The White Bone Demon recalled this: "I understand now, the Shadow Demon sent it on purpose; it sold out the musician and the sculptor."
"Deliberately sent?"
"Or rather, it's a gamble. Its true form is definitely doing something else," the White Bone Demon said. "To be able to deceive its familiar kind, the Shadow Demon has given almost all its power to its medium. What could be worth risking its life for?"
"I don't know. Never mind, let's not think about these things."
Tai Sui changed the subject, asking, "Which bone do I live on?"
"Why live with bones?"
"You're just a skeleton. I coexist with you. If I don't live in your bones, where else can I live?"
The White Bone Demon held up the mushroom bead and placed it in her right eye socket: "Don't you think you look a lot like an eyeball? That way I'll have an eye. After all, even an organ pieced together is still an organ."
"That makes sense." Tai Sui looked in the mirror and immediately felt that the eye socket was a good place to live.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, my eyes." The White Bone Demon placed the fungal bead into her right eye socket. "Tell me, should I look for my left eye, and the internal organs as well?"
"And then what? Organs pieced together from various sources? Can that even be considered a human being?"
"Why not? Even good people are still people. Right now, we're just barely scraping by; we're not even considered people."
