YM778.TV Chapter 961 Skeleton Fish
These skeleton fish came up from the canyon all around them.
It only took a few seconds for them to be completely surrounded by these skeleton fish.
The only reason that they didn\'t start fighting these skeleton fish was because these skeleton fish didn\'t seem to notice them yet.
So Momonga and Lin Fan had immediately cast their dark and shadow laws respectively to hide them. Once it had been cast, they immediately started moving slowly but steadily forward.
They didn\'t know when these skeleton fish would attack, or if they would even attack.
However, they weren\'t planning on staying here to find out.
It would be best if they could sneak past these skeleton fishes before they even noticed them.
After all, they still couldn\'t see the end of the stone bridge and the other side of the canyon yet. They didn\'t know how long they had to go and any fighting now could mean damaging the stone bridge.
While they could still fly in a worst case scenario, that would just mean that they would be surrounded by these skeleton fish.
They were able to make it a fair bit before the skeleton fish suddenly turned in their direction.
It was just one skeleton fish at first, but it didn\'t take long before several of them turned in their direction. After a while, all of the skeleton fish were looking at them.
Even though they had the camouflage around them, the skeleton fishes\' eyes were all aimed at them.
It was clear that they were able to see through this camouflage just like how the skeletons had seen through it back at the city.
However, since these skeleton fish had the same strange energy as the skeletons there, they figured that they came from the same source. Since they came from the same source, it wouldn\'t be strange if they had the same power such as being able to see through their camouflage.
Now it was all about what they would do next.
As expected, with the movement of one skeleton fish, the rest followed and started diving in their direction.
With their mouths wide open, it was clear what they were planning to do.
So with no other choice, they could only decide to fight.
As soon as she saw them diving, Yuki released her snow laws to create a barrier around them. While it was only a barrier of snow and wind, the power contained within instantly froze anything that approached.
Then with a few quickly shot icicles, those skeleton fish shattered to pieces.
Though not a single one of them had their bones crack.
They were scattered to pieces based on the joints and the various bones covered in ice fell down into the canyon.
With Yuki\'s snow barrier, there wasn\'t a single skeleton fish that was able to reach them. They were all kept at the distance of the snow barrier, with not a single one of them being able to break through without being shattered to pieces instantly.
During this time, no one else made a move and just observed the situation.
Just Yuki alone was already enough to deal with these skeleton fish, so there was no need for them to make a move.
It was better for them to save their power for if anything else happened.
But the problem was that no matter how many of the skeleton fish she took care of, there would always be more that took their place.
It was as if she wasn\'t reducing their numbers at all.
When Lin Fan and Momonga looked around the area carefully, they noticed that there were bones that were flying up out of the canyon. These bones floated there by themselves in midair for a few seconds before flying towards other bones that had floated up into the air.
Once these bones came together, they started combining with each other until they formed another skeleton fish.
When they looked closely, they found that there were traces of ice on the bones as well.
It was clear that these were the skeleton fish that Yuki had shattered to pieces before and were now reforming.
It seemed that these skeleton fish could reform just like the skeletons, so shattering them to pieces wasn\'t a solution to dealing with them. Only if they could destroy the bones of the skeleton fish would they be able to destroy it completely.
Or if they found a way to drain the strange energy controlling these skeleton fish would they stop moving.
However, the last time that they did it, it took all of Lin Fan\'s power and he had almost lost himself to that strange energy.
In this situation, it definitely wasn\'t time to try this.
So what should they do?
Run?
It was possible to run with Yuki\'s snow barrier around them and try to make it to the other side, but there were problems with that too.
First, it consumed too much of Yuki\'s life energy to maintain this barrier around them. If she had to keep this up while they were running, she would eventually run out of life energy.
Second, they couldn\'t see the end of the bridge at all.
Just running aimlessly like this would definitely mean being caught and then swarmed by the skeleton fish.
So they had to think of a solution before Yuki\'s snow barrier ran out.
But there wasn\'t anything that they could do to these skeleton fish with their strong bones.
The only thing that they could do in the end was use all kinds of different laws to see if any would have an effect on the skeleton fish.
Momonga had gathered many laws in his many years of being alive. While they weren\'t on the same level as his main darkness law, they were still powerful enough to hurt most people.
So they should also affect the skeleton fish if they were effective.
Lin Fan had his laws from the many different pets that he had contracted with his new cultivation technique, so he could also use many different laws that were just as powerful as his main laws.
But no matter what laws the two of them used, they found that they couldn\'t do anything to the skeleton fishes flying around them at all.
Every time their laws hit the skeleton fish, it was as if there was some kind of special barrier around the bones of the skeleton fish that blocked their attacks.
So it was all useless in the end.
Unless they could find a way to penetrate the barrier around the bones, it would be impossible for them to defeat the skeleton fish.
In the end, all of them could only reveal ugly expressions as they watched the skeleton fish flying around them.
The skeleton fish still charged at the snow barrier around them which still couldn\'t affect them, but their bombardment with their bodies slowly made the snow barrier around them get smaller.
With the look on Yuki\'s face, it was clear that it was getting harder and harder for her to maintain the barrier. It wouldn\'t take long before this snow barrier disappeared and these skeleton fish would surround them.
Momonga raised his hand and the ghosts that had been around him started to fly out. But before they could go far, Yuki raised her hand and shook her head before releasing even more life energy.
It was as if she was saying that she could keep going.
Seeing this, Momonga gave a nod before waving his hand to summon the ghosts back.
However, he narrowed his eyes at the same time and started observing the skeleton fish around them even more closely.
As for Lin Fan, he couldn\'t help raising his hand and gathering a ball of that strange energy.
That strange energy had been used to herd the skeletons back in the town and these skeleton fish had the same strange energy as those skeletons…So did it mean that he could also use it here?
The moment that the ball of strange energy was gathered in Lin Fan\'s hand, there was a reaction from the skeleton fish.
They all turned to look in the direction of that ball of strange energy and then…they all suddenly started flying even faster at Lin Fan.
They were all stopped in the end by Yuki\'s snow barrier, but it was clear that they had been incited by the ball of strange energy.
Lin Fan\'s sharp eyes didn\'t miss this, so he quickly gathered more balls of this strange energy. Then without any hesitation, he scattered those balls of strange energy around them.
The moment that these balls of strange energy appeared, the skeleton fish couldn\'t help turning in the direction of these balls of strange energy. After a moment of hesitation where they didn\'t know what to do, they started charging at the balls of strange energy.
There wasn\'t a single skeleton fish left that charged into Yuki\'s snow barrier.
They all couldn\'t help being surprised seeing this, but they also knew that they couldn\'t stay here for long. Now that the skeleton fish had been distracted, it was time for them to run.
So Yuki immediately released the snow barrier and they all started running forward on the bridge.
While running, they kept their eyes on the skeleton fish.
For the first time, they saw what happened after the skeleton fish reached the ball of strange energy.
The one that reached the ball of strange energy first opened its mouth and in one big gulp, they swallowed that ball of strange energy.
