An Yi was a little disappointed. She thought that she could see the whole process of the resurrection of the beast's bones, but in the end, she was just overthinking.
She picked up a leg bone and found that even without the wonderful feeling anymore, as long as she concentrates, she can analyze it. An Yi tried to mobilize her energy, she remove the impurities of the bones, compress its volume, and increase its density...
After a few minutes, the bones of the original small beast that was two-finger thick were compressed into the size of a pen, its whole body is white, it weighs a little heavy, the bone's surface is smooth, and it's hard as iron.
An Yi thought about it for a while and processed the bone again. One end was made into a handle and the other end was sharpened into a blade. A carving knife quickly took shape.
An Yi was only processing the bones habitually as a bone carving master, completely unaware of how powerful her ability was. When an object is extremely compressed, its density and internal energy increase, and even fusion might occur when it reaches a boundary. However, if the compression became excessive, the object may burst, or it may explode into particles.
An Yi tried the sharpness of the knife, and the result was satisfactory. It can easily cut through wood and bones. Even when cutting stones, the tip of the knife isn't scratched at all. It's tougher and sharper than ordinary metal blades.
An Yi briefly measured the knife and then inserted it between the ulna and radius of her forearm. The size was just right. When she thought of it, it would be glued to her body without worrying about it falling anywhere. Although An Yi doesn't know what the power in her body is, it should be related to the soul, and it can be called soul power for the time being.
The white light she saw on the bones of the little beast may also be soul power, but its soul power slowly dissipated after death and couldn't last for too long. The strange thing is, why didn't her soul dissipate?
An Yi continued to explore the forest and made marks along the way to prevent herself from being lost.
In the next few days, while familiarizing herself with the environment, An Yi kept an eye for the green light that could devour flesh and blood. She saw all kinds of strange creatures and their bones along the way. An Yi would pick up some bones to practice her skills every day so that she can master the use of soul power, as well improve the quality and structure of different bones.
It wasn't until the third day that An Yi finally located the green light again. However, in just a few seconds, a flying squirrel-like animal turned into a skeleton in front of her eyes, and the green light disappeared in the blink of an eye again.
This time, An Yi didn't waste any time, she quickly walked over, refined the beast bones with her soul power, and exerted more soul power that hadn't dissipated to the bones.
As the result of her soul power, the originally scattered skeleton seemed to link together by strands of silk threads, and the joints tightly latched together to form a complete skeletal body. An Yi also removed the impurities and increased its density, the bones gradually became smaller and firmer with a milky white luster.
Just when An Yi felt exhausted, light blue flames suddenly ignited in the empty eye sockets of the small animal. It then jumped up and stretched out its bony body that made creaking sounds. Then, it walked towards An Yi and affectionately rubbed her leg bone. A strange feeling arose in An Yi's soul.
An Yi looked at a big tree, and the little guy rushed over, climbed up the tree along the trunk, and then looked down at An Yi, its bone-made tail swayed behind it as if it was waiting for the praises.
An Yi was overjoyed by the appearance of the little guy, which meant that she was no longer alone in this world and that she could also have the same companions as her.
Skeleton clan, this name sounds good. She finally found her goal in life, and that is to continue to grow her clan!
With this ambition, An Yi began to follow the trail of the green light, searching for the bones with remaining soul power. However, her enthusiasm quickly extinguished. Because she discovered that not all bones with soul power can become a part of her skeleton clan.

Two conditions must be met when turning bones with soul power alive: One is that the death of the being doesn't exceed two hours, and the other is that the body can't be too large. After more than two hours of death, the soul power is no longer complete, and it can only be refined into a spiritual bone. If the body is too large, An Yi's soul power wouldn't be enough to support the transformation of the skeleton.
Although An Yi can't immediately expand her clan, the spiritual bones refined by soul power are a good and special carving material. The vitality contained in it can instantly arouse An Yi's creativeness as a carver.
Bone carvings have been auspicious objects for inviting wealth, warding off evil, avoiding evil, and protecting safety since ancient times. They are given different meanings according to their form, type, purpose, and so on.

The special feature of the spirit bones lies in the word "living". When An Yi is carving, her knife seems to reshape the bones' soul. This mysterious feeling made her completely immersed in it, without any hesitation, her single cut made the structure completely natural.
An Yi named a beast that resembles a tiger, but not a tiger, 'Scornful Tiger'. Using its bones, she made a pendant, a ring, and a knife. After completing the carvings, she only felt that she was full of strength as if she had just soaked in a hot spring.
An Yi faintly felt that her bone sculptures seemed to contain a new soul, which has a connection with her but weren't able to independently think. However, in some respects, they may be more powerful than her skeleton clan.
Half a month later, An Yi, who thought she had traveled to some primordial planet, found human bones on the edge of the forest. Judging from the appearance of the skeleton, it was obvious that it was also attacked by that green light.
An Yi currently regards that green light as the most dangerous existence in this forest. It has no physical form and no natural enemies, it was supernatural, fast as lightning, capable of penetrating any object, feeds on flesh and blood, and is unable to be captured.
An Yi also called it the Green Demon.
Because of the existence of the Green Demon, An Yi found that being a skeleton was also a lucky thing. Looking at the human bones on the ground, there are still weapons on the body, but the person has no chance at all. Of course, even if the person could draw out his weapon, he probably couldn't deal with the Green Demon.
An Yi flipped through the human bones and found a watch similar to a portable computer, an ultra-modern pistol, a few electronic cards, and some scattered food and field equipment.
An Yi picked up the watch, the date displayed on it was X375-06-11, 16:09, and the coordinates: TSN23. "T-T-S Tortas Star" is engraved on the side of the watch. Except for a few numbers, An Yi didn't recognize the other texts.

She just guessed that the time and geographic location might be displayed above. An Yi needs to enter a password or fingerprint to turn on the watch, but obviously, she can't provide both.
However, one thing is certain at present. Not only is this planet not primordial, but it also possesses much higher technology than Earth.
An Yi began to increase her vigilance. The beasts in the forest didn't threaten her, but the humans were different. She was once a human, but now she has to guard against humans.
The closer she is to the periphery of the forest, the more frequent traces of human activities she'd found. An Yi allowed her skeleton companions to patrol nearby, and she could also sense what they could see.
Suddenly, a skeleton beast sent a message to her, and she saw a small-scale camp through its eyes.
According to her preliminary calculations, there are about 40 or 50 people in the camp, most of whom are dressed in uniforms similar to military uniforms and are well-equipped, while the other part is dressed in casual clothes, ranging in age from 20 to 40.
From their conversation, An Yi initially judged that they were an exploratory team. The strange thing is, she obviously doesn't know this language, but she can understand it. Does her soul have a special translation function?
To get more information, An Yi has been observing them in the dark. Two days later, she finally had a general understanding of the current situation. This team is indeed exploratory. They've come from a planet called Tortas, and the planet she lives on is discovered by Tortas 20 years ago.

There were no humans on this planet, but the environment is very suitable for living. As a result, the head of Tortas sent hundreds of exploratory teams to conduct field investigations.
However, the initial investigation didn't go smoothly. There are not only various unknown dangerous creatures on this planet but the terrain is complex and the magnetic field is also special. Many detectors can't operate normally, making exploration operations difficult, requiring humans to come to the dangerous places and conduct in-depth investigations.
In the past two decades, the Tortas have only established three urban bases on this planet. With the base as the center, 300 kilometers of the area are tentatively designated as a safe zone. The outside of the safe zone is the exploration zone, which is divided into zones 1-203 according to the geographical environment. The further the place is, the higher the risk. The area where An Yi is located is in District 115, which is a high-risk exploration area.
The exploratory team has been in District 115 for more than half a month and collected many physical samples. They are lucky and haven't encountered much trouble.
However, this fortune will soon come to an end.
"Major General Milos, what's the matter with you?" Omar couldn't help asking when seeing Milos's stern expression.
Milos looked at somewhere in the forest before saying, "I feel like someone is watching us."
Omar looked around and said, "If something approaches, the monitor should be able to detect it."
Their monitor is equipped with a thermal scanning system, as long as it's alive, it can be detected even if it's invisible.
Milos didn't speak, but took out his weapon and walked in a certain direction. Omar quickly followed.
Am I discovered? An Yi, who was squatting in the bushes, saw Milos and Omar walking towards her. With a thought, the bones of her whole body fell apart immediately, piled up in a dirt pit, and then covered with a large leaf.
This is her special trick of pretending to be dead.
The footsteps gradually approached, and An Yi saw a pair of black army boots through the gaps of the leaves. The owner of the army boots stopped only five meters away from her.
An Yi observed them through the skeleton beast on the tree. The figure of the headed man is very tall, 2 meters in height, he's not that handsome in appearance, but he has a special charm. His eyes are deep and sharp, and his pupils are golden. He looks like a dangerous beast.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and shot it upward without warning, the target was exactly where her skeleton beast was.
With a snap, the skeleton beast fell from the tree, rolled onto the ground, and quickly rushed into the depths of the woods.
Omar was dumbfounded and asked uncertainly: "What did I see just now? A moving skeleton?"
Milos thoughtfully looked in the direction in which the skeleton beast disappeared.
"Major General, what do you think that creature could be?"
"Whatever it is, I don't know, but it was able to resist my Dark Ray RD."
Omar: "..."

T/N: Well, that dark ray RD they are talking about can be imagined as a standard pistol or handgun, and the dark ray can be considered its attribute. Get it?
