Chapter 246 The Attack of the Dream Demon
No sooner had she finished speaking than the dream demon manipulated four skeletons to pounce on them.
Qingshan and Qingsong leaped up at the same time, kicked out with their legs, and the two skeletons at the front were instantly kicked away, crashing into the wall and the ground next to them respectively.
On the left, Bronze and Green Shadow drew their arrows and slashed at the approaching skeleton. Bronze severed both of the skeleton's arms with a single stroke and then kicked it away.
Qingying lightly tiptoed up and leaped into the air, slashing down on the skeleton's neck, splitting the skeleton in two, and then kicking the other half of the skeleton away.
The two skeletons that Qingshan and Qingsong kicked away did not fall apart after hitting the ground. Two or three seconds later, they got up again, making a "crunching" sound as their bones collided.
The skeleton with the severed arms of the bronze one also stood up, while the skeleton with the severed skull of the green shadow smashed into the wall next to it and instantly fell apart.
"I didn't expect it to be so resilient," Qingsong said.
Bronze glanced at the skeleton Qingying had chopped down and said, "It seems we have to cut off their skulls to stop them."
The dream demon's hand moved again, and more than a dozen skeletons flew out from the darker area behind the main hall, bringing the total to more than twenty.
Each of these floating skeletal heads was connected to a control thread.
Each skeleton had eyes that glowed with an eerie blue light, mouths that opened and closed, teeth that clicked and clacked, and a chilling laugh that sounded like that of an old woman.
"Chuckles..."
Two strange and eerie laughs echoed simultaneously in the small space, making people feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there were many of them, and they gradually got used to it and didn't feel as scared and frightened as they did at the beginning.
A few seconds later, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the Dream Demon manipulated all the skeletons to pounce on the group at the same time.
"Everyone be careful..." Xiao Han warned.
The dream demon did not rush to attack Xiao Han and the others. Instead, it controlled the skeleton to approach them and then quickly moved away, spinning and jumping around them randomly.
They kept moving away and getting closer, as if they were toying with them.
But this seemingly chaotic teasing also conceals a murderous intent waiting to strike.
A skeletal head was spinning comically one second, then stopped the next, its sharp, skeletal hand aimed straight at Qingzhou's face.
The Dream Demon knew they had discovered the skeleton's weakness, so she was extra careful during this attack, trying her best to protect the skeleton's skull from being cut.
Qingzhou bent over backward to avoid the attack from the skeleton, while simultaneously thrusting his sword into its ribs and slashing down forcefully.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The bones between the ribs and femur were shattered by the sword.
He sidestepped the skeleton, leaped up and stomped it on the ground, then slashed an arrow at the skeleton's neck, splitting it in two.
Qingyang dodged the attack from the skeleton head-on, inserted his sword into the gap between its bones, and then slammed it into another skeleton.
With a loud "bang," the two skeletons collided heavily. Taking advantage of the moment, Qingyang rushed over and swung his sword to cut off their heads.
Xiao Han and Long Chuqing quickly dealt with several skeletons that rushed towards them.
Even if the dream demons try to avoid them, they can still easily deal with these skeletons without any effort.
Before long, the skeletons with their skulls chopped off fell to the ground one after another.
"That's it... utterly pathetic." Aoyama sheathed his sword, saying with a hint of arrogance. "I thought you were something special!"
However, before they could even enjoy their triumph for a few seconds, everyone became wary again.
The skulls lying on the ground began to float and, controlled by the silk threads, began to move closer to the scattered bones. With the silk threads connecting them, the broken bones began to be pieced together rapidly.
"Click click click--"
The skeletons made rubbing and colliding sounds as they moved, and due to their lack of coordination, their arms swayed arbitrarily, connected by silk threads.
The dream demon smiled dismissively.
"Hehehe..." The skeletons also kept emitting chaotic laughter, as if mocking their previous futile efforts.
Their bodies trembled at will under the control of the silk threads; some were already broken and looked rather comical.
“It seems we need to completely crush their bones,” Bronze said solemnly.
“Then smash them all,” Qingsong replied.
The skeletons began to circle around them again, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Xiao Han channeled his inner strength and unleashed a powerful strike, instantly destroying the two skeletons that suddenly lunged at him.
He dodged aside, then swung his sword at the skeleton beside him. He didn't aim directly at the skeleton's head, but instead slashed at the thread on its head.
The sword pierced right through the silk thread, and he missed.
Without a second thought, he swiftly spun around and swung his sword at the skeleton again. The tip of the sword pierced straight into its skull, and as the hilt spun, the skull shattered instantly. He then swept his leg and kicked the skeleton's body away, sending it crashing behind the altar and shattering on the ground.
After Xiao Han stood still, he looked up at the dome and immediately deduced that the key was still the Dream Demon.
These skeletons are all controlled by the Dream Demon; to stop them, the Dream Demon must be eliminated.
And those threads that attacked them at the beginning—if they destroy all those bones, the dream demon will definitely use those threads to attack them again.
Compared to the skeletons he could deal with, he was more interested in the fluorescent threads.
When they came in, they reached out to try to touch it, but they couldn't grasp the thread.
When they first entered, the threads that the dream demons used to attack them were hard enough to penetrate walls and wooden beams. If someone was accidentally hit, it would cause considerable damage to their body, and if it hit their heart, there would be no chance of recovery.
The attack just now confirmed his guess: their swords were unable to touch these threads.
If they were to truly face off against them, they would be helpless.
He looked at Long Chuqing beside him: Chuqing had blocked the first few attacks from the silk threads.
Her whip had previously bound the cat demon, and now it could block the dream demon's silk attack—could it be because of her whip...?
Seeing that half of her skeletal puppets had been destroyed, the Dream Demon realized she needed to change tactics. So she began to manipulate the skeletons to rotate, and she herself transformed into a broken skeleton among them.
Is it an idiot?
Feng Yu couldn't help but complain, saying with disdain.
"Does it think that we won't be able to spot it by transforming and blending in with those bones? How stupid."
"Haha..." Fei Feng laughed, "It does look a bit silly. It's only doing this because it's betting that no one will see it!"
In fact, after the Dream Demon turned into a skeleton, everyone present could tell which one was it. The ordinary skeletons only had glowing eyes, while the Dream Demon's skeleton had many glowing threads connected to its fingers.
At the same time, it was constantly shaking its fingers, making the contrast very obvious and hard not to recognize it.
