The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2446 Weird Skeleton

Matthew took a deep breath, and the air seemed to carry a hint of heaviness as he inhaled it into his lungs.

He tightened his grip on the stone, preparing to exert more strength.

Just now, when he tried to lift the stone for the first time, Matthew was unsuccessful because the weight of the stone was far beyond his expectations.

Now, he decided to use more strength to shake this seemingly indestructible object.

Matthew's body sank slightly, and his legs were as steady as if rooted in the earth. Using this as a support point, he prepared to transfer the strength in his body to the stone in his hand.

Every inch of muscle was tensed, like an arrow about to be shot out, carrying endless power.

The terrifying power in Matthew's body began to gradually awaken, rushing through his veins like a raging river, and exerting its influence on the stones in his hands.

However, this fist-sized stone weighed far more than Matthew had imagined.

It seemed to be rooted in the earth, motionless, and even Matthew's powerful strength could not shake it at all.

Matthew had already used nearly 60% of his strength at this moment. Sweat slid down his forehead, dripped onto the ground, and was instantly absorbed by the dry surface.

Despite his best efforts, the stone in his hand remained as solid as a rock, showing no signs of moving.

A trace of helplessness and solemnity flashed in Matthew's eyes. He understood that the weight of this stone was indeed extraordinary.

If he continued to waste his energy on this stone, it might not be worth it. He needed to find a more effective way to deal with it.

Matthew slowly let go of the stone in his hand, then he stood up, brushed the dust off his hands, and turned his gaze to the Man-God King again.

"Come here and try."

Matthew shouted to the Man-Xiao King beside him, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

The Man-Gollum King is tall and strong, and has a natural advantage in strength. Matthew believes that with his strength, he may be able to move the stone.

However, in the face of Matthew's shouting, the Human Charm King did not respond at all. He was still squatting beside the bloody skeleton, motionless like a statue.

His eyes were always fixed on the skeleton, as if he was searching for some unknown secret.

Matthew's attention was completely focused on the blood-red stone on the ground that looked ordinary but weighed a thousand pounds. Because the unusualness of this stone might contain key clues, he did not pay much attention to the situation on the side of the Human Goblin King at that time.

At this moment, when he saw that the Man-God King did not move, he realized that something was wrong.

The abnormal reaction of the Man-God King made Matthew feel worried. He felt that the Man-God King might have encountered some accident or fell into a situation from which he could not extricate himself.

Matthew didn't bother to study the stone any further. He turned around and walked quickly towards the Goblin King and the bloody skeleton.

Every step was hurried, and Matthew hoped to understand what was happening as soon as possible.

Just when Matthew came to the side of the Man-God King, the Man-God King, who had been squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up without warning, and the tall figure instantly came into Matthew's eyes.

Matthew also looked up at the Man-God King, their eyes fixed straight on each other.

The expression of the Man-God King was slightly painful, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say but didn't know where to start.

Matthew could feel a strange emotion emanating from the Man-God King. Matthew didn't know what this feeling meant for a moment. It was not as easy to identify as common emotions such as anger, fear or joy.

However, after spending a long time with the Man-Gollum King, Matthew could be sure that the Man-Gollum King had no ill will towards him at this time.

Suddenly, just as the two were staring at each other, the bloody skeleton lying on the ground moved slightly.

The movement was quite slight, like the barely perceptible ripples caused by a breeze blowing across the surface of a lake.

However, it was accompanied by an extremely harsh friction sound, which was like two sharp stones rubbing together, and instantly attracted the attention of Matthew and the Man-God King.

The Goblin King and Matthew subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, that is, the direction of the bloody skeleton on the ground. They both turned their heads almost at the same time.

In the moment when the two men turned their heads, Matthew's pupils suddenly shrank, and a storm of emotions instantly rose in his heart.

The bloody skeleton that was lying on the ground disappeared without a trace. It was as if its previous existence was an illusion, or that the skeleton had some kind of hidden ability, catching people off guard.

This scene filled Matthew's heart with doubt and vigilance, and at the same time, an inexplicable sense of uneasiness began to spread in his heart.

He knew very well that in such a mysterious and dangerous cave, any strange situation could be a harbinger of a major crisis.

What was even more unexpected to Matthew was that when he was briefly distracted by the disappearance of the bone and turned around to look at where he had originally stood, he found that the Man-Gollum King had suddenly attacked him in the blink of an eye.

The muscles in one of the Man-God King's arms bulged and stabbed straight at Matthew's chest. The speed was so fast that it was like a black lightning, leaving only a blurry light and shadow in the air.

Matthew was shocked by this sudden change, but he was different from ordinary monks after all. In this critical moment, his reaction was also extremely fast.

Matthew's body flashed to the side at a high speed like a ghost. His movements were agile and smooth without any sense of drag.

Just when the Goblin King's attack with enormous power was about to touch Matthew's body, Matthew successfully avoided the fatal blow.

"call!"

Matthew wiped the cold sweat from his forehead due to the thrill, took several steps back with lingering fear, and finally stood firm. He stared at the Man-God King vigilantly, trying to figure out what was going on.

The eyes of the Man-God King were still red, as if he was crazy, and then he launched another ferocious attack.

This time, Matthew was prepared. He nimbly dodged to the side and quickly raised his right hand. His five fingers came together into a claw shape and he grabbed the wrist of the Man-Man King with great force, trying to control his offensive and force him to tell him the reason for attacking him.

"Bang!" Matthew's hand grabbed the wrist of the Man-God King, but to his surprise, the Man-God King's body did not move at all. The powerful force continued to come from his wrist, making Matthew's palm numb.

Just when the Man-God King was about to launch another attack, Matthew clearly heard a low "cracking" sound coming from not far away.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that behind where he had just stood, there was a huge vortex formed by blood-red light, and in the vortex, the blood-red skeleton that had suddenly disappeared could be vaguely seen.
