Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

124: One punch Wu Tian? Wise Hernando!“...”

“Gurgle…”

Aside from the faint gurgling sounds of the Green Flame Skeleton sinking into the mud… the entire ’Underwater Graveyard’ was silent!

After a long while… “Heh heh…”

Not far away in the seabed, the tall Purple Flame Skeleton Hernando let out a hoarse laugh and shouted to the silent skeletons around him.

“This kid does have some skill…”

“Torre!”

“You go!”

“...”

“Clatter…”

As Hernando’s voice fell, a giant skeleton, even more than twice as tall as Hernando, pushed aside its colleagues and slowly emerged from the gloomy seabed.

In its hollow eye sockets… flickered a ghostly blue flame!

Clearly, this was a Blue Flame Skeleton whose power surpassed that of a Green Flame Skeleton!

“Gladly…”

“My master!”

“...”

The Blue Flame Skeleton named Torre bent down and bowed slightly to Hernando.

Then… “Creak…”

Amidst a series of grating sounds, this giant skeleton turned its head and looked at Wu Tian.

“Kid…”

A hoarse voice spoke.

“What you used just now… was legendary magic, right?”

“A special ability that can restrain us?”

“...”

“Magic?”

Wu Tian frowned.

“Heh heh…”

Then he sneered disdainfully.

“You call setting off fireworks magic?”

“It seems sleeping on the seabed for hundreds of years has made you very ignorant. This is Dragon Country’s Daoist Art. Compared to your Western, flashy but impractical magic…”

“That’s the difference between a grandfather and a grandson!”

“Understand?”

“...”

“So what?”

“What does that have to do with me?”

The ghostly blue flame in Torre’s eye sockets flickered.

Then he gently twisted his neck, lifted his foot, and walked towards Wu Tian, his immense power directly kicking up the seabed mud!

All the skeletons along the way quickly moved out of his path.

In his ghost-fire flickering eye sockets… there was nothing but apprehension!

“Heh heh…”

“Whether it’s magic or Daoist Art, they are ineffective against me!”

“I’m not a good-for-nothing like the Water Ghost!”

“Are you ready to die?”

“...”

“Under absolute power…”

“I will make you understand what despair is!”

Whoosh!

As Torre’s voice fell, his massive skeleton body quickly bent forward, and the immense force generated by his waist, which was at least twice as wide as an ordinary skeleton’s, was directly applied to his hard white bone fist!

“Boom!”

The immense force directly pierced through the seawater!

Emitting a low sonic boom!

Carrying a large amount of white spray, this huge white bone fist slammed directly towards Wu Tian’s head!

“Heh heh…”

The blue flames in Torre’s eye sockets flickered rapidly!

Amidst the roaring seawater… he seemed to have already seen Wu Tian’s head shattering like a watermelon!

Staining the seawater crimson!

...However!

“Bang!”

“...”

The huge white skeleton fist instantly stopped!

Half a meter in front of Wu Tian, it was firmly gripped by a hand that had arrived later but faster!

And the seawater, still carrying its inertia… “Whoosh!”

Directly stirred up a swirling undercurrent around Wu Tian and Torre!

Causing Wu Tian’s hair to fly.

“...”

“Tsk tsk…”

Staring intently at Hernando not far away!

Wu Tian’s disdainful voice rang out, word by word.

“I told you these dimwits who have been stuck at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years have no insight, but you wouldn’t believe me!”

“Look!”

“This idiot only has this much power, and he already calls himself absolute power?”

“It’s a bit…”

“Ridiculous, isn’t it?!”

“...”

“Wh-what’s going on?!”

“Impossible!”

“You, a mere human… how could you possibly hold my fist?”

“You…”

Boom!

The seawater surged!

“Let go of me!”

Torre furiously swung his arm, trying to pull his fist out of Wu Tian’s hand!

However… aside from the cracking sounds of bones, growing louder with each attempt… Wu Tian’s right hand was like a clamp with ten thousand tons of force!

Firmly gripping his fist!

“...”

“Oh?”

Wu Tian remained motionless, glancing sideways at the furious Torre.

As the blue flames in the latter’s eye sockets flickered wildly.

Wu Tian chuckled.

“You want your fist back?”

“You should have said so earlier!”

Wu Tian’s right hand instantly tightened, then twisted forcefully!

Crack!

The sound of a huge bone breaking echoed on the seabed!

Torre’s right hand snapped off!

“...”

“Ah…”

“My hand!”

“What did you do? You actually twisted off my hand…”

“Damn human!”

“...”

Torre finally pulled his right hand back!

However… the retrieved right arm had already lost its hard fist, and the originally complete forearm was now shattered into pieces of bone shards.

It was now swaying limply in the seawater.

“Thud…”

Wu Tian slowly released his grip.

Torre’s broken arm fell into the mud at Wu Tian’s feet.

And sank in!

“Blue Flame Skeleton, it seems…”

“Is nothing more than this!”

Saying that… Wu Tian looked at Hernando, who had been silent all this time… “Heh heh…”

Under Wu Tian’s gaze, Hernando let out a hoarse laugh, his voice strangely addressing Wu Tian.

“You’re looking at me… you’re not thinking of fighting me, are you?”

“With just you…”

“I’m afraid you’re not worthy!”

The purple flames in Hernando’s eye sockets flickered!

“Torre!”

“No need to suppress your power anymore. Today…”

“I permit you to cause a ruckus!”

“Kill…”

Hernando’s tone was grim.

“Kill this human who doesn’t know his place!”

“...Alright!”

As Hernando’s voice fell, Torre, who had been so furious just moments ago, instantly quieted down!

“As you command!”

“My master…”

After a low response, Torre’s tall body slowly began to shrink.

Then… “Roar!”

A low roar from Torre penetrated the seawater and reached Wu Tian’s ears.

“Crack…”

“Crack!”

Immediately after!

The sound of bones grinding together rang out!

Torre’s tall skeleton slowly broke, compressed, and reassembled under everyone’s gaze, and… the burning blue flames in his eye sockets also slowly spread out.

Crawling up his constantly compressing bones!

In the blink of an eye… a blue skeleton, nearly three times shorter than before, appeared before Wu Tian.

“Giggle giggle…”

Torre’s hoarse and sinister laugh rang out.

He shook his entire body of compact, hard bones.

And slowly walked towards Wu Tian!

“Kid…”

“Now I am more than three times stronger than before. Are you…”

“Ready to die?”

“I…”

Bang!

“Crack!”

Torre’s newly formed pale blue, hard skull was instantly… shattered by Wu Tian’s unannounced punch!

Plop!

Like history repeating itself!

Torre, this Blue Flame Skeleton who had exhausted all his moves and tried his best… in Wu Tian’s hands.

Still couldn’t last a single move!

He fell heavily onto the seabed mud not far in front of Wu Tian, splashing up half a person’s height of muddy dust, and his soul fluctuations completely vanished with it!

“Sigh…”

“I told you it wouldn’t work, and it didn’t!”

Wu Tian rubbed his wrist.

“Next!”

...“Holy crap…”

“How do I feel like the situation suddenly reversed?”

“Just now, Brother Tian looked like he was surrounded by hundreds of skeletons, on the verge of death, but how is it that after such a short while, two skeletons have been instantly killed by Brother Tian’s punch?”

“Hiss…”

“Could it be that Brother Tian is actually One-Punch Man?”

“But it’s strange…”

“Why is Brother Tian’s hair still so lush? (Witty)”

“No way…”

“I just wiped my butt, and this Torre guy is gone. Can someone explain to me what exactly happened just now?”

“Although a series of lightning-fast events just happened, the explanation is simple.”

“Brother Tian…”

“Surrounded this group of skeletons!”

“God descends to earth!”

“...”

The Fans in the bullet comments, seeing that Wu Tian indeed lived up to expectations and knocked down a skeleton with one punch, immediately erupted!

They all cheered, ’That man is back!’

...After Torre lost his soul fluctuations, the entire ’Underwater Graveyard’ once again fell silent.

The Green Flame Skeletons, who had been cautiously approaching Wu Tian just now, instantly panicked and collectively retreated several steps!

The remaining few Blue Flame Skeletons were also startled and terrified!

Torre… was already one of their top experts.

If he couldn’t even withstand one punch… they would most likely just be cannon fodder!

For a time… the entire underwater skeleton army fell into a deathly silence!

Whether Green Flame or Blue Flame Skeletons, they all stealthily looked at the silent Hernando not far away!

He was the only Purple Flame Skeleton on the scene.

Everyone’s meaning… was self-evident!

“Hmph…”

Suddenly!

Just as the ’Underwater Graveyard’ was silent, Hernando’s purple flames in his eyes flickered not far away, and he let out a cold snort.

“Human!”

“I misjudged you!”

“The Water Ghost’s ’Bind’ must have been broken by your incredibly powerful strength, right?”

“It’s a pity for Torre!”

“He shouldn’t have competed in strength with you!”

“Truly… a cunning human!”

...“Oh?”

Wu Tian was stunned, then looked at Hernando with a strange smile.

“Alright, you can interpret it however you want!”

“But I’ll just ask you one thing.”

“Are you coming?”

“If you’re not coming, I’m going!”

“...”

Listening to Wu Tian’s threatening words, the purple flames in Hernando’s eye sockets flickered rapidly, then slowly calmed down.

Then he smiled slightly.

Proudly raising his skeleton head.

His hoarse tone carried a strong sense of certainty!

“You’re coming to me?”

“Heh heh…”

“Just grandstanding!”

“You just want to stall for time, to make me wait for you in place, so you can show off your proud strength in front of me, but…”

The purple flames in Hernando’s eye sockets flickered.

“You probably didn’t even realize…”

“That sentence of yours exposed a fatal flaw!”

“...”

Boom!

As Hernando’s voice fell, all the skeletons simultaneously widened their eyes.

They looked at their leader, Hernando, and instantly, all the skeletons’ empty heads were filled with reverence for him!

Whispers broke out, a clamor!

“Hiss…”

“No way, so the leader hadn’t moved for a long time because he was observing this human’s weakness!”

“Truly…”

“So wise and mighty!”

“Wuwu… Yes, before I thought the leader was cowardly and afraid to go, but it turns out…”

“The leader has been concentrating on finding this human’s weakness all along!”

“I was too narrow-minded!”

“I want to apologize to the leader!”

“Me too!”

“Long live the leader!”

“The leader is unparalleled!”

“...”

“That’s right!”

“Leader!”

Just as all the skeletons were in a moment of emotion, a skeleton with pale blue flames flickering in its eye sockets asked Hernando in a deep voice.

“That weakness you mentioned…”

“Where is it?”

“Then… can we use this weakness to kill this human?”

The flames in the Blue Flame Skeleton’s eyes flickered excitedly, looking at Wu Tian with eagerness to act.

“...”

“Of course!”

Hernando smiled confidently.

Then a hint of shrewdness and cunning flashed in his purple-burning eyes, and in front of Wu Tian, he loudly asked the surrounding skeletons.

“I wonder if you’ve noticed?”

“Ever since this human came down from his vessel just now, whether he defeated the Water Ghost or Torre, what did he rely on?”

Hernando chuckled.

“He relied on powerful strength, didn’t he?”

“Yes!”

“That’s right!”

“Exactly!”

“...”

A chorus of agreement from the skeleton crowd!

“But!”

Hernando’s tone shifted.

“Tell me, why is this human’s strength so great, yet in the two battles just now, he hardly ever took the initiative to attack, or rather…”

Hernando’s voice was low.

“He hardly ever moved from where he was standing!”

“Why is that?!”

“...”

“Hiss…”

As Hernando’s voice fell, a series of gasps echoed through the entire skeleton group!

“I know!”

One of the slightly more agile Green Flame Skeletons suddenly realized!

“It’s all because…”

“Although this human is powerful, speed is his weakness!”

“Moreover…”

This Green Flame Skeleton grew more excited as he spoke.

“This is still underwater!”

“He can’t move freely at all, can he?”

“...”

“Correct!”

Hernando cast an appreciative purple-flamed glance at this Green Flame Skeleton.

“A-Yu is right!”

“Look again…”

Hernando pointed his white bone finger at the exoskeleton equipment and oxygen tank on Wu Tian’s body!

“Not only that, he’s also wearing a diving exoskeleton and an oxygen tank, further reducing his speed!”

“My lads!”

“I’m telling you!”

“As long as a fast skeleton comes, they can totally bully him like a grandson!”

“Is anyone volunteering?”

Hernando’s tone was bold and heroic!

“...”

“A reward of one aztec gold coin!”
