Chapter 1288 - 1285: An Old Acquaintance

The magma below is vastly different from the one above, with giant creature bones soaking at the bottom of the earth's core, presenting an entirely different scene.

It looks like it's underwater, but the temperature around is explosively hot.

Chu Hao swam downstream, feeling it getting hotter and hotter.

"What is that?"

Ahead downstream, a glowing object caught his attention from a distance.

As Chu Hao got closer, he discovered it was a golden flame enveloping a sleeping creature.

This creature was as big as an adult, yet it was surrounded by bones.

The bones were quite unusual, some were silver, others gold, very eye-catching.

Chu Hao was certain that the owners of these bones were definitely extraordinary.

The closer Chu Hao got, the more he felt a surge of life energy draining from his body, even the Purple Gold Robe given by the Supreme Emperor couldn't stop it.

Still quite far from the glowing object, Chu Hao couldn't help but exclaim, "Is that the Corpse Dragon King?"

In his imagination, the Corpse Dragon King should be much larger, at least as big as the Glacier Beast Emperor, but it turned out to be so small?

System prompt: "Discovered ancient creature Corpse Dragon King, Host gains fifty million Experience Points."

Chu Hao was stunned, there were Experience Points?

System prompt: "Special mission issued, collect Ghost Veil Scale Fragments of the Corpse Dragon King."

System prompt: "Collect one Ghost Veil Scale Fragment to receive a Golden Royal Treasure Chest."

System prompt: "Collect three Ghost Veil Scale Fragments to obtain the tooth of the Corpse Dragon King."

System prompt: "Collect six Ghost Veil Scale Fragments to acquire the mane of the Corpse Dragon King."

System prompt: "Collect twelve Ghost Veil Scale Fragments to get a portion of the Blood of the Corpse Dragon King."

System prompt: "Complete the mission to earn ten million Merit Points."

This mission is indeed special.

However.

Now, whether there's a mission or not, he's lost interest.

"Stamina is depleting so fast!" Chu Hao was drenched in sweat.

Even from several hundred meters away it's like this, what would it be like up close?

Chu Hao acted, and the Endless Sword flew out to disrupt the sleeping Corpse Dragon King.

As a result, the Endless Sword stopped short of even a hundred meters, losing connection with Chu Hao's mind, turning into a piece of scrap iron, slowly vanishing.

"This!" Chu Hao was shocked.

Cold sweat ran down Chu Hao's face, forcing him to temporarily retreat, his stamina dropping too fast, he felt like fainting.

He retreated a kilometer, then consumed pills to restore his stamina.

"Can't get close!"

Chu Hao was distressed.

He kept ingesting pills, and his stamina gradually recovered.

He tried again to get closer, attempting a one-time charge inside, but saw something black and shiny below him, his sharp eyes noticed a black scale fragment.

Are there Ghost Veil Scale Fragments nearby?

It's quite far from the Corpse Dragon King, it shouldn't be a problem to go down.

He swam down and picked up the palm-sized black scale.

This scale seemed to be an old scale shed from the Corpse Dragon King.

"Ding... Collected one Ghost Veil Scale Fragment."

He had a Golden Royal Treasure Chest in hand.

Chu Hao started searching around, among numerous bones whose biological origins were unknown, surviving such high temperatures was truly incredible.

Then, beneath a pile of bones, he found a Ghost Veil Scale Fragment, which was absorbing the essence of the bones, making the bone color dim.

Chu Hao murmured, "These shed scales of the Corpse Dragon King are so miraculous."

He found another two fragments nearby; to find more, he would have to approach the Corpse Dragon King.

Chu Hao prepared a large number of pills, which he had refined at the Necromancer Clan's camp to replenish his vitality.

He had a feeling that if he collected twelve pieces, this matter might take a turn.

Approaching the Corpse Dragon King, the energy within him was draining, and this was only while it was asleep; what if it woke up?

Chu Hao moved incredibly fast, unable to suffer staying too long, going in and out; after a few tries, he did collect quite a few Ghost Veil Scale Fragments.

"The ninth piece," Chu Hao said.

The vitality replenishing pills were running low; he had to hurry.

Finally, with an almost reckless effort, he approached less than two hundred meters from the Corpse Dragon King and found another scale fragment, but the last two were hard to locate.

Chu Hao's sharp eyes spotted a small pile of scales right beneath the sleeping Corpse Dragon King, very close to it.

"There's another piece ahead."

Chu Hao, a hundred meters from the Corpse Dragon King, saw a Ghost Veil Scale Fragment.

But! At that moment, Chu Hao hesitated, remembering how the Endless Sword disappeared at that spot; would he vanish too?

"Whatever, I'll give it a try."

Chu Hao gulped down a handful of pills to replenish his energy, and charged in.

Suddenly, he felt his energy disappearing rapidly, his face pale as if losing too much blood.

Approaching, Chu Hao bent to pick up the eleventh scale fragment.

At this moment, next to the Ghost Veil Scale Fragment, a golden skeleton suddenly moved, grabbing his wrist tightly.

This nearly gave Chu Hao a heart attack.

"What demon is this!"

Chu Hao struggled to break free from its grasp, but it held onto him tightly, he couldn't move.

Cold sweat broke out on Chu Hao's forehead, this skeleton was down to bones, yet it could move, had he encountered a ghost?

However, even a ghost wouldn't be able to get so close to the Corpse Dragon King.

An even more shocking scene unfolded.

The once cold skeleton suddenly grew soft flesh, covering the golden bones.

It turned into a slender jade hand, exquisite like a divine creation, revealing an awe-inspiring woman.

Chu Hao was utterly dumbfounded.

Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, somewhat charming and seductive, her white skirt slightly fluttering, her beautiful legs exposed to the roots, enticing the heart.

Just her looks couldn't stun Chu Hao, he'd seen many beauties.

It was because he knew this person all too well.

"Bai Ling?" Chu Hao exclaimed.

The Heavenly Bone Woman, how could she be here?

This was simply too surprising for Chu Hao.

Bai Ling smiled tenderly, a bit seductive, "Isn't this my steward?"

Chu Hao was overjoyed, it was actually the Heavenly Bone Woman.

Chu Hao asked, "Sister Bai Ling, why are you here?"

Bai Ling saw Chu Hao's pale face, touched his forehead lightly, and instantly, he felt an outburst of vigorous vitality within him.

Then, Bai Ling led Chu Hao away from the Corpse Dragon King's vicinity.

She truly was the Heavenly Bone Woman, having lost contact after leaving the Yanhuang World.

Bai Ling, barefoot and with her skirt floating in the water, her cascading black hair and celestial beauty was akin to that of an Immortal Celestial.

Bai Ling looked playfully at Chu Hao, "Alright! Why are you here?"

Chu Hao had too many questions in his heart, but he first answered Bai Ling, "I'm here to awaken the Corpse Dragon King."

He explained his intentions and the matter of the Necromancer Clan going to the Yanhuang World.
