262: Chapter 262 The Failed Ancient Sacred Body!

This feeling was hard to describe.

It was filled with sadness, yet it also carried a hint of anger.

But Lin Mo was certain.

He had never seen this kind of golden humanoid skeleton before.

At this moment, a massive, dark red scythe rapidly condensed in the BOSS's hands.

It charged toward Lin Mo.

With every step it took, the ground was corroded, leaving behind scorched black marks.

Lin Mo suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and glanced at its attributes.

[Yellow Springs Emperor Dew (Mutant BOSS)]

[Combat Power Rank: Rank 3, Stage 1]

[Strength: 850+50]

[Spirit: 850+50]

[Agility: 850+50]

[Stamina: 850+50]

[Talents: Corrupted Wine Scent, Saint Body Initial Qi]

[Skills: Yellow Springs Adhesive Bind, Intoxicated Dream, Blood Scythe Summon, Blissful Slaughter]

[Saint Body Initial Qi: Passive talent. The surface is covered with a thin, pale golden Protective Aura. Reduces physical damage taken by 10% and grants complete immunity to poison effects.]

[Blissful Slaughter: Active skill. After activation, Yellow Springs Emperor Dew gains a 20-meter diameter aura. Anyone approaching for 10 seconds will gain one stack of the Blissful Slaughter BUFF. Each stack increases damage taken by 5%. Upon reaching 20 stacks, the target falls into a state of bliss, unable to distinguish friend from foe. If the target is a Summoner class, all summoned beasts will temporarily lose control for 30 seconds.]

The moment he saw the attributes, Lin Mo's brows furrowed tightly.

It wasn't because the Yellow Springs Emperor Dew's attributes were monstrous.

It was because he hadn't expected that in this guy's panel...

...he would see the familiar Saint Body Initial Qi.

Lin Mo only then noticed.

This Yellow Springs Emperor Dew indeed had a layer of extremely faint golden light on its body.

Combined with the Saint Body Initial Qi displayed on the panel...

...and Ling'er's unprecedentedly excited reaction...

...a guess suddenly welled up in Lin Mo's heart.

This guy's internal golden skeleton...

...could it be the person who previously changed class to Desolate Ancient Emperor?

It actually seemed quite possible.

Previously, there was a Desolate Ancient Emperor class holder who reached Rank 1 and entered the Imperial Capital Academy.

If he participated in the Star Tower assessment in his second year and died here...

...that would explain why he had that special feeling.

That was the resonance of the same Origin.

Lin Mo took a deep breath and, in a rare move, took the initiative to attack.

He charged straight toward the Yellow Springs Emperor Dew.

Golden light flickered on his fists.

Relying on his terrifying attack speed, Lin Mo didn't even give it a chance to strike back.

Bang! Bang! Two hits of Sacred Body Fist.

...and he completely emptied its health bar.

It didn't even manage to release a single skill.

Its body rapidly melted, turning into three solid crystals.

However, the incomplete golden skeleton inside did not dissolve.

Instead, it scattered onto the ground.

It was worth noting that...

...after this skeleton fell to the ground...

...the golden luster on its body also rapidly receded and vanished.

If Lin Mo hadn't been staring at it the whole time...

...he would probably have thought this thing was just an ordinary skeleton that had been dead for who knows how many years.

Ling'er shot down from Lin Mo's shoulder with a whoosh.

She opened her snake mouth wide, wanting to start gnawing directly.

However, when that wide-open snake mouth was still five centimeters away from the golden skeleton...

...Ling'er found that her body had gone completely rigid.

Lin Mo's right hand was firmly gripping her tail.

Keeping her from reaching the skeleton.

Ling'er immediately became anxious; she kept twisting her body, wanting Lin Mo to let her down.

"Don't be in such a rush."

Lin Mo, however, unhurriedly pulled her back bit by bit.

Ling'er, once again held in Lin Mo's hand, looked puffy-cheeked and a bit aggrieved.

Combined with her already cute appearance...

...she looked even more endearing.

"First, tell me, is this thing the reason you're so excited?"

Ling'er nodded heavily.

"So, is this thing just like the ones before, beneficial to me too?"

Ling'er shook her head without hesitation.

Lin Mo furrowed his brows slightly. "You mean this thing is useless to me, and only useful to you?"

Ling'er continued to nod.

A somewhat childish voice from Ling'er echoed in his mind.

[Papa... more... pow... powerful...]

[Papa eat...]

[On... on... ly... a little... experience...]

Lin Mo rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

Indeed, Ling'er's reaction this time was different from her previous feelings of longing.

With those previous things, no matter how much Ling'er wanted them, she wouldn't actively try to snatch them now.

Instead, she would leave them all for him.

Because Ling'er also knew that these things possessing special energy were helpful to him.

Only this time did Ling'er take the initiative to act first.

This thing was highly likely truly useless to him.

Come to think of it, that made sense.

If it were the corpse of a Major Achievement Sacred Body, perhaps he could still control it to do something.

But this guy was only Rank 1.

Calculated, its strength was far inferior to his own.

Plus, so much time had passed; even if there was any residual Origin of the Sacred Body, it probably wouldn't have any effect on him.

On the contrary, for Ling'er...

...according to what Luo Li said, the special Physique of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body should be able to help her race overcome their Bloodline shackles.

Relying solely on the blood shed during his battles, he didn't know how long it would take for Ling'er to evolve.

Perhaps this skeleton could compress that time?

Lin Mo looked at the skeleton.

Then he looked at Ling'er.

He still decided to trust Ling'er.

Besides the considerations he just made...

...secondly, he had a Soul contract with Ling'er; even if she wanted something, she wouldn't deceive him just to get it.

And on the other hand...

...eating a human skeleton was still a bit too disgusting.

Especially since he didn't know how long this thing had been dead...

Lin Mo let go and patted Ling'er's head.

"Then it's all yours."

"Don't let me down."

Ling'er nodded heavily in excitement.

Then, she shot out from Lin Mo's body like a straight arrow.

However, what surprised Lin Mo was...

...after Ling'er actually made contact with the skeleton, what she was gnawing on wasn't the skeleton itself.

Instead, she was constantly sucking on something at a position nearly one centimeter away from the skeleton.

The golden light that had originally been hidden within the skeleton...

...under Ling'er's continuous sucking...

...the golden light all gathered together and was sucked into her mouth, bit by bit.

At the same time...

...Lin Mo could clearly see...

...that originally there was only one golden scale on the top of Ling'er's head, but now, the scales surrounding this golden scale were also all turning golden.

This scene made even Lin Mo click his tongue in wonder.

However, this miraculous scene didn't last very long.

Soon, Ling'er had completely absorbed all the golden light within the skeleton.

After losing the golden light...

...the skeleton rapidly weathered, and in just a few seconds, it completely turned into dust and dissipated.

Ling'er, meanwhile, returned to Lin Mo's shoulder as if she were full.

Ling'er's voice came into his mind.

[Papa... sleep... sleep for a while...]

Just as her voice faded...

...Ling'er wrapped her body around Lin Mo's left arm just like last time.

Only this time, Ling'er also directly used a skill.

Completely transforming into a golden and green arm ring tattoo.
