Gao Peng kept himself busy the entire journey. Every night, he talked at length with Dumby and helped Dumby distill the snow-white finger, which gave off a cold sheen.
Taking these foreign bones into its own body didn't affect Dumby at all. Its unique physique allowed it to merge freely with other skeletons. It then turned those skeletons into its own bones in order to completely absorb their nutrients. Of course, this wasn't a skill unique to Dumby. Many Bone-type monsters could speed up their evolution using this method.
This also proved how important a good corpse is. Life was a competition. Even in death, beings competed through bone quality.
Dumby finally managed to integrate the god's fingerbone. Its other body parts couldn't withstand the power of it, only its deified fingers barely able to handle it.
